LAFAYETTE, La., July 25, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- MidSouth Bancorp, Inc. ("MidSouth") (NYSE:MSL) today reported a quarterly net loss available to common shareholders of $6.2 million for the second quarter of 2017, compared to net earnings available to common shareholders of $1.7 million reported for the second quarter of 2016 and for the first quarter of 2017. The loss of $6.2 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2017 was primarily due to increased loan loss provisioning to address credit issues as well as charges related to branch sales/closures and the accrual of severance benefits resulting from the termination of an executive pursuant to an employment agreement. Second quarter 2017 net loss included an after-tax charge of $872,000 for severance and retention accruals, an after-tax charge of $371,000 resulting from the write-down of assets held for sale, and a one-time after-tax charge of $302,000 related to discontinued branch projects. Excluding these non-operating expenses, a loss of $0.38 per diluted share was reported for the second quarter of 2017, compared to diluted earnings per common share of $0.15 for the first quarter of 2017 and for the second quarter of 2016.

Jim McLemore, President and CEO, remarked, "The operating loss this quarter is consistent with our disclosures during our June capital raise. These results reflect our previously announced transition plans that include a more aggressive approach to addressing asset quality and the optimization of our branch network. Despite the quarterly loss, capital and liquidity levels increased significantly over the prior quarter and our balance sheet is stronger than it has been in many years. Pre-tax, pre-provision operating earnings increased $0.4 million sequentially. As a result of the Bank's enhanced capital position, we have commenced discussions with our regulators to assess the repayment of the $32 million SBLF preferred stock."

Additionally, on July 19(th), 2017, the Bank entered into a formal written agreement with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, (the "OCC"). Mr. McLemore commented, "We embrace and accept the provisions of the agreement with the OCC. The provisions of the agreement are consistent with the disclosures made during our capital raise. We believe implementing the provisions of the agreement with our realigned management team and strengthened balance sheet will only serve to enhance our efforts to deal effectively with our problem assets and become a better managed and higher performing institution."

Balance Sheet

Consolidated assets remained constant at $1.9 billion for the quarters ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 and March 31, 2017. Our stable core deposit base, which excludes time deposits, totaled $1.4 billion at June 30, 2017 and March 31, 2017 and accounted for 90.3% and 90.4% of deposits at June 30, 2017 and March 31, 2017, respectively. Net loans totaled $1.216 billion at June 30, 2017, compared to $1.247 billion at March 31, 2017 and $1.241 billion at June 30, 2016. The $31.8 million reduction in loans during the second quarter demonstrates our accelerated efforts to address nonperforming loans, which resulted in the high level of charge-offs and pay-offs during the quarter.

MidSouth's Tier 1 leverage capital ratio was 12.66% at June 30, 2017, compared to 10.27% at March 31, 2017. Tier 1 risk-based capital and total risk-based capital ratios were 16.48% and 17.73% at June 30, 2017, compared to 13.14% and 14.40% at March 31, 2017, respectively. Tier 1 common equity to total risk-weighted assets at June 30, 2017 was 12.15%, compared to 8.91% at March 31, 2017. Tangible common equity totaled $174.2 million at June 30, 2017, compared to $128.4 million at March 31, 2017. Tangible book value per share at June 30, 2017 was $10.87 versus $11.28 at March 31, 2017. The changes in regulatory capital levels, tangible common equity and tangible book value per share are primarily attributable to the 4,583,334 shares of common stock issued with the $55.0 million capital raise during the quarter.

Asset Quality

Nonperforming assets totaled $56.4 million at June 30, 2017, a decrease of $2.5 million compared to $58.9 million reported at March 31, 2017. The decrease is primarily attributable to the payoffs/paydowns of $15.3 million of non-accrual loans and the charge-off of $9.1 million of non-accrual loans, which included the charge-offs of $6.9 million of collateral-dependent loans that were on non-accrual at March 31, 2017. These decreases were partially offset by $22.7 million of loans placed on non-accrual during the quarter. Allowance coverage for nonperforming loans increased to 44.88% at June 30, 2017, compared to 42.96% at March 31, 2017. The ALLL/total loans ratio was 1.99% at June 30, 2017 and 1.93% at March 31, 2017. Including valuation accounting adjustments on acquired loans, the total valuation accounting adjustment plus ALLL was 2.11% of loans at June 30, 2017. The ratio of annualized net charge-offs to total loans increased to 4.01% for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to 0.83% for the three months ended March 31, 2017.

Total nonperforming assets to total loans plus ORE and other assets repossessed was 4.54% at June 30, 2017 compared to 4.62% at March 31, 2017. Loans classified as troubled debt restructurings, accruing ("TDRs, accruing") decreased to $1.7 million at June 30, 2017 compared to $2.0 million at March 31, 2017. Classified assets, including ORE, were $148.8 million at June 30, 2017 compared to $148.4 million at March 31, 2017. Downgrades to classified assets totaling $39.5 million during the quarter were partially offset by the payoff/paydown of $29.3 million of classified relationships during the second quarter as well as charge-offs of $9.6 million of loans rated as classified at March 31, 2017.

Second Quarter 2017 vs. First Quarter 2017 Earnings Comparison

MidSouth reported a net loss available to common shareholders of $6.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, compared to net earnings available to common shareholders of $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. Net interest income increased $180,000 in sequential-quarter comparison. Noninterest income increased $179,000 in sequential-quarter comparison.

Excluding these non-operating expenses, noninterest expense decreased $2,000 in sequential-quarter comparison. Decreases of $579,000 in salaries and benefits costs and $196,000 in occupancy expenses were primarily offset by increases of $551,000 in legal and professional fees and a $187,000 provision for unfunded lines of credit. The increase in legal and professional fees is primarily due to legal costs related to management transition issues and increased outsourcing expenses to enhance risk management. The provision for loan losses increased $9.7 million in sequential-quarter comparison. A $3.2 million income tax benefit was reported for the second quarter of 2017, compared to income tax expense of $589,000 for the first quarter of 2017.

Dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock issued to the Treasury as a result of our participation in the Small Business Lending Fund ("SBLF") totaled $720,000 for the second quarter of 2017 based on a dividend rate of 9%, unchanged from $720,000 for the first quarter of 2017.

Fully taxable-equivalent ("FTE") net interest income increased $163,000 in sequential-quarter comparison, primarily due to an increase in interest income on loans of $109,000 as well as a $65,000 increase in interest income on time and interest-bearing deposits in other banks. Interest income on loans increased in sequential-quarter comparison due to an increase in the average yield on loans of 6 basis points, from 5.29% to 5.35%. The average balance of loans decreased $19.8 million in sequential-quarter comparison due to the high level of charge-offs and payoffs. Excluding purchase accounting adjustments, the loan yield increased 3 basis points, from 5.22% to 5.25% during the same period. Interest income on investment securities increased $39,000 in sequential-quarter comparison.

Noninterest income increased $84,000 in quarterly comparison and consisted primarily of a $98,000 increase in ATM/debit card income and a $44,000 increase in mortgage program fee income. The increases were partially offset by a $55,000 decrease in service charges on deposits accounts.

Excluding non-operating expenses of $2.4 million for the second quarter of 2017, noninterest expenses increased $187,000 in quarterly comparison and consisted primarily of a $500,000 increase in legal and professional fees and a $189,000 increase in data processing costs, which were partially offset by a $239,000 decrease in occupancy expense and a $166,000 decrease in corporate development. A reclass of certain hosted services subscriptions from corporate development into data processing at the beginning of 2017 caused the fluctuations in those two expense categories.
