BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Oct. 25, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- National Commerce Corporation (Nasdaq:NCOM) (the “Company” or “NCC”), the parent company of National Bank of Commerce, today reported third quarter 2016 net income to common shareholders of $4.8 million, compared to $2.5 million for the third quarter of 2015.  Diluted net earnings per share were $0.43 in the third quarter of 2016, compared to $0.39 in the second quarter of 2016 and $0.26 in the third quarter of 2015.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, NCC earned $12.9 million, or $1.17 in diluted earnings per share, up from $6.7 million, or $0.74 per diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

“I am pleased with the continued growth in our profitability in 2016, with another quarter of Return on Average Assets above 1.0% and year-to-date diluted earnings per share growth of 58%,” said John H. Holcomb, III, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.  “Our asset quality, which is very important to the company’s ability to achieve its long term goals, also remains good, though we can never lose our focus on continued vigilance in that very critical component of our business.  Our third quarter loan growth was below our long term expectations for ourselves, in part due to some expected payoffs, so we need to continue our focus on attracting additional high quality customer relationships to our bank.”

Several important measures from the third quarter of 2016 are as follows:

  • Net Interest Margin (taxable equivalent) of 4.18%, up 0.16% from the 4.02% reported for the third quarter of 2015.  The margin decreased 0.05% compared to the 2016 second quarter.
  • Return on Average Assets of 1.08%, compared to 0.75% for the third quarter of 2015 and 1.00% for the second quarter of 2016. 
  • Return on Average Equity of 8.36%, compared to 5.62% for the third quarter of 2015 and 7.84% for the second quarter of 2016.
  • Return on Average Tangible Common Equity of 10.90%, compared to 6.85% for the third quarter of 2015 and 10.31% for the 2016 second quarter.
  • Third quarter 2016 loan growth (excluding mortgage loans held-for-sale) of $5.8 million; non-acquired loans grew $30.8 million in the quarter.   
  • Increase in deposits of $39.0 million.
  • $91.6 million in mortgage production, compared to $82.3 million for the third quarter of 2015.
  • $172.4 million in purchased volume in the factoring division, compared to $182.7 million for the third quarter of 2015.
  • Decrease in non-acquired non-performing assets to $2.4 million, from $2.7 million at June 30, 2016.
  • Annualized net charge-offs of 0.02% of average loans, compared to 0.03% for the third quarter of 2015.
  • Provision for loan losses of $0.4 million, compared to $0.9 million in the 2016 second quarter and $0.2 million in the third quarter of 2015. 
  • Ending tangible book value per share of $16.37.
  • Ending book value per share of $21.26.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Some of the financial measures presented in this press release and included in the accompanying unaudited financial statements are not measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”).  These non-GAAP financial measures include tangible common equity, return on average tangible common equity, tangible book value per share, allowance for loan losses to nonacquired loans, efficiency ratio and operating efficiency ratio.  The Company’s management uses the non-GAAP financial measures set forth below in its analysis of the Company’s performance.

  • “Tangible common equity” is total shareholders’ equity less goodwill, other intangible assets and minority interest not included in intangible assets. 
  • “Average tangible common equity” is defined as the average of tangible common equity for the applicable period.
  • “Return on average tangible common equity,” or ROATCE, is defined as net income available to common shareholders divided by average tangible common equity.
  • “Tangible book value per share” is defined as tangible common equity divided by total common shares outstanding.  This measure is important to investors interested in changes from period to period in book value per share exclusive of changes in intangible assets.

The Company’s management believes these above measures, each of which utilizes the concept of tangible common equity rather than total common equity, provide useful information to management and investors because they eliminate the impact of goodwill and other intangible assets created in an acquisition.  These measures are commonly used by investors when assessing financial institutions.

  • “Allowance for loan losses to nonacquired loans” is defined as the total allowance for loan losses, less the allowance for loan losses attributable to factored receivables, divided by nonacquired loans held for investment, excluding factored receivables at the end of the period.  This measure is important to investors because it disaggregates the acquired and non-acquired loans and provides a measure that may be more comparable to a bank that has no acquired loans.  This measure also excludes the allowance and factored receivable balances at our Corporate Billing subsidiary, which is helpful to investors because of the somewhat unique nature of that business and the very rapid turnover of those receivables, and provides a measure that is more comparable to a bank that does not have a receivables factoring business.
  • “Efficiency ratio” is defined as noninterest expense divided by operating revenue (which is equal to net interest income plus noninterest income), excluding one-time gains and losses on sales of securities.  This measure is important to investors looking for a measure of efficiency in productivity based on the amount of revenue generated for each dollar spent.
  • “Operating efficiency ratio” is defined as noninterest expense divided by operating revenue, excluding one-time gains and losses on sales of securities and one-time gains and expenses related to merger and acquisition activities.  This measure is important to investors looking for a measure of efficiency in productivity based on the amount of revenue generated for each dollar spent.   

The Company’s management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to management and investors that is supplementary to NCC’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows computed in accordance with GAAP; however, NCC acknowledges that the non-GAAP financial measures have a number of limitations.  As such, NCC cautions readers that these disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP, and that these disclosures are not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP financial measures that other companies use.  These non-GAAP financial measures exclude various items detailed in the attached “Non-GAAP Reconciliation.”
