YONKERS, N.Y., July 25, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Hudson Valley Holding Corp. (NYSE: HVB) reported second quarter 2014 earnings, benefiting from loan and investment portfolio growth, credit quality improvement, and continued low funding costs.

The parent company of Hudson Valley Bank earned $2.4 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2014, compared to $1.6 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2014, and $3.5 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2013. The Company recorded approximately $0.5 million ($0.3 million after tax, or $0.02 per diluted share) of charges related to executive severance payments as well as professional fees incurred to expand its residential lending operation.

"We are pleased that our strategy to deploy liquidity, diversify our product offerings and expand our customer base is positioning the Company to generate enhanced profitability and growth," President and Chief Executive Officer Stephen R. Brown said. "The addition of our recently announced Chief Banking Officer rounds out our management team, and enables us to strengthen our relationships with our long standing customers as well as bring our successful high touch banking experience to an expanded customer base."

Balance Sheet
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $507.4 million at June 30, 2014, decreasing 15.6 percent during the second quarter and 27.5 percent from December 31, 2013.

Investment securities totaled $844.7 million at June 30, 2014, increasing 56.9 percent during the second quarter and 54.0 percent from December 31, 2013. During June 2014, the Company purchased $304 million of high quality U.S. government agency bonds, mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage-backed obligations. The securities had a 1.79 percent yield, a 4.8 year average life and duration of 3.8 years. The purchase enabled the Company to deploy liquidity into higher yielding assets with strong cash flows that can be reinvested into loans over the next 18 to 24 months.

Net loans totaled $1.74 billion at June 30, 2014, increasing 6.7 percent during the second quarter and 8.1 percent from December 31, 2013.

Commercial and industrial loans of $308.6 million represented 17.4 percent of total loans at June 30, 2014, compared to 17.1 percent at the end of the linked quarter and 17.7 percent at the end of the year-ago quarter.

Loans secured by 1-4 family residential mortgages of $302.4 million at June 30, 2014, represented 17.1 percent of total loans, compared to 19.0 percent at the end of the linked quarter and 15.0 percent at the end of the year-ago quarter.

Deposits totaled $2.86 billion at June 30, 2014, increasing 11.7 percent during the second quarter and 8.7 percent from December 31, 2013.

The Company maintained very high levels of core deposits, which represented 97 percent of total deposits at the end of the second quarter of 2014. Core deposits, which exclude time deposits greater than $100,000, totaled $2.8 billion at June 30, 2014, compared to $2.5 billion at both December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013.

Portfolio Credit Quality
Overall portfolio trends continue to reflect a gradually improving credit environment.

Nonperforming assets (NPAs), which include nonaccrual loans, accruing loans delinquent over 90 days and other real estate owned (OREO), were $20.5 million at June 30, 2014, compared to $23.5 million at December 31, 2013 and $30.3 million at June 30, 2013. NPAs totaled 0.64 percent of total assets at June 30, 2014, compared to 0.78 percent at December 31, 2013 and 1.01 percent at June 30, 2013.

Net charge-offs were $0.1 million for the second quarter of 2014, compared to net recoveries of $0.8 million in the linked quarter and net charge-offs of $0.5 million in the year-ago quarter. As a percentage of average loans, annualized net charge-offs were 0.02 percent for the second quarter of 2014, and annualized net charge-offs were 0.13 percent in the year-ago quarter.

The Company's allowance for loan losses was $27.3 million at June 30, 2014 compared to $26.0 million at December 31, 2013 and $25.9 million at June 30, 2013. The allowance measured 1.54 percent, 1.59 percent and 1.75 percent of total loans at each of those dates, respectively, reflecting both loan growth and continued improvement in overall credit quality.

Classified assets at June 30, 2014 represented 16.4 percent of Tier 1 capital plus the allowance for loan losses, compared to 20.7 percent at December 31, 2013 and 30.8 percent at June 30, 2013.

The Company's provision for loan losses in the second quarter of 2014 was $0.5 million, compared to $0.1 million in the linked quarter and $0.3 million in the year-ago quarter.

Revenues and Margin
Net interest income was $22.1 million in the second quarter of 2014, compared to $21.7 million in the linked quarter and $21.1 million in the year-ago quarter.

The Company's net interest margin was 3.05 percent in the second quarter of 2014, compared to 3.14 percent in the linked quarter and 3.06 percent in the year-ago quarter.

The yield on interest-earning assets averaged 3.22 percent in the second quarter of 2014, compared to 3.30 percent in the linked quarter and 3.27 percent in the year-ago quarter. Lower asset yields continued to be partially offset by the Company's historically low average cost of deposits of 0.17 percent in both the second quarter of 2014, and the linked quarter and 0.20 percent in the year-ago quarter.

Non-interest income was $3.9 million for the second quarter of 2014, compared to $2.5 million for the linked quarter, which included a $1.9 million prepayment penalty on FHLB borrowings, and $3.9 million in the year-ago quarter.

Non-Interest Expense
Total non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2014 was $22.1 million, compared to $21.8 million in the linked quarter and $19.8 million in the year-ago quarter. Expense savings achieved in 2013 through the elimination of non-profitable operations, have been reinvested into new strategic initiatives designed to diversify our product offering and customer base. These initiatives are already producing value as a result of the activity of the new hires in Hudson Valley's asset based lending and equipment financing units. As such, salaries and employee benefits expense was $12.7 million in the second quarter of 2014, compared to $13.0 million in the linked quarter and $11.1 million in the year-ago quarter. We believe any incremental increases in non-interest expense will be largely dependent upon expanding into new products and businesses.

Quarterly Cash Dividend and Capital Management
The Company's board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.08 per share, payable on August 15, 2014, to all common stock shareholders of record as of the close of business on August 8, 2014.

At June 30, 2014, the Company maintained a total risk-based capital ratio of 16.0 percent, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 14.7 percent, and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 9.4 percent. Its Hudson Valley Bank subsidiary at June 30, 2014 maintained a total risk-based capital ratio of 15.7 percent, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 14.4 percent, and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 9.2 percent.

Non-GAAP Financial Disclosures and Reconciliation to GAAP
In addition to evaluating the Company's results of operations in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), management routinely supplements this evaluation with an analysis of certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as the tangible equity ratio and tangible book value per share. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide information useful to investors in understanding Hudson Valley Holding Corp.'s underlying operating performance and trends, and facilitates comparisons with the performance of other banks. Further, the tangible equity ratio and tangible book value per share are used by management to analyze the relative strength of Hudson Valley Holding Corp.'s capital position.

In light of diversity in presentation among financial institutions, the methodologies used by Hudson Valley Holding Corp. for determining the non-GAAP financial measures discussed above may differ from those used by other financial institutions.

    (1) Excludes unrealized gains (losses) on securities available for sale. Management believes that this presentation more closely reflects actual performance, as it is more consistent with the Company's stated asset/liability management strategies, which have not
     resulted in significant realization of temporary market gains or losses on securities available for sale which were primarily related to changes in interest rates. Effects of these adjustments are presented in the table below.

    (2) Includes loans classified as non-accrual.

    (3) The data contained in the table has been adjusted to a tax equivalent basis, based on the Company's federal statutory rate of 35 percent. Management believes that this presentation provides comparability of net interest income and net interest margin arising from
     both taxable and tax-exempt sources and is consistent with industry practice and SEC rules. Effects of these adjustments are presented in the table below.

    (1) Excludes unrealized gains (losses) on securities available for sale. Management believes that this presentation more closely reflects actual performance, as it is more consistent with the Company's stated asset/liability management strategies, which have not resulted
     in significant realization of temporary market gains or losses on securities available for sale which were primarily related to changes in interest rates. Effects of these adjustments are presented in the table below.

    (2) Includes loans classified as non-accrual.

    (3) The data contained in the table has been adjusted to a tax equivalent basis, based on the Company's federal statutory rate of 35 percent. Management believes that this presentation provides comparability of net interest income and net interest margin arising from both
     taxable and tax-exempt sources and is consistent with industry practice and SEC rules. Effects of these adjustments are presented in the table below.

     (1) Adjusted total interest earning assets, net interest earnings, net yield on interest earning assets
      and average stockholders' equity exclude the effects of unrealized net gains and losses on securities
      available for sale. These are non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes that this alternate
      presentation more closely reflects actual performance, as it is more consistent with the Company's stated
      asset/liability management strategies which have not resulted in significant realization of temporary
      market gains or losses on securities available for sale which were primarily related to changes in
      interest rates. As noted in the Company's 2014 Proxy Statement, net income as a percentage of adjusted
      average stockholders' equity is one of several factors utilized by management to determine total
      compensation.

     (2) Tangible equity ratio and tangible book value for share are non-GAAP financial measurements.
      Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide information useful to investors in
      understanding the Company's underlying operating performance and trends, and facilitates comparisons with
      the performance of other banks and are used by management to analyze the relative strength of the
      Company's capital position.
