Sunshine Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ: SBCP), the holding company for Sunshine Bank (the “Bank”), has released its unaudited financial results for the third quarter and first nine months of 2015.

Net income available to common stockholders for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 was $35,000 compared to net income available to common stockholders of $39,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2014. During the third quarter of 2015, the Company recognized $119,000 in merger related expenses, primarily residual Community Southern Bancorp, Inc. acquisition costs and to a lesser extent expenses related to the Bank’s announced and pending branch acquisition. Net income available to common stockholders, excluding merger related expenses, would have approximated $109,500, or $0.03 per share, for the third quarter of 2015.

Net loss available to common stockholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $469,000 compared to a net loss available to common stockholders of $247,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recognized $1.2 million in merger related expenses, predominantly related to the acquisition of Community Southern Bancorp, Inc. Net income available to common stockholders, excluding merger related expenses, would have approximated $184,000, or $0.04 per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

Total assets were $442.1 million at September 30, 2015 compared to $477.0 million at June 30, 2015 and $229.8 million at December 31, 2014. The reduction in total assets during the third quarter was a result of management’s decision to pre-pay higher cost borrowings acquired in the merger with Community Southern Holdings, Inc. The Bank continued to experience strong organic loan and deposit growth for the quarter and year to date. Organic loan growth for the third quarter and the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $13.4 million, or 4.3%, and $40.4 million, or 36.6%, respectively. Additionally, organic deposit growth for the third quarter 2015 was $4.7 million, or 5.4% annualized. The Company continues to see a strong loan pipeline leading into the end of the year. The deposit and loan portfolios as of September 30, 2015 totaled $354.0 million and $320.4 million, respectively.

The Bank’s non-performing assets as of September 30, 2015 were $1.1 million compared to $2.8 million as of December 31, 2014. The Bank’s non-performing assets to total asset ratio as of September 30, 2015 was 0.24% compared to 1.20% as of December 31, 2014. In addition, the allowance for loan losses was 190.1% of non-performing loans at September 30, 2015.

Salaries and employee benefits expense year to date was $5.5 million compared to $2.6 million for the first nine months of 2014. The increased expense was mostly attributable to the addition of key bank employees needed to continue the Bank’s strategic shift to a growth oriented commercial bank and the increased number of employees resulting from the merger with Community Southern Holdings, Inc. Noninterest expense adjusted for merger related expenses for the third quarter 2015 totaled $4.0 million compared to adjusted expenses in the linked quarter of $2.7 million. The third quarter of 2015 was the first full quarter following the acquisition of Community Southern Holdings. In addition, during the third quarter, the Company experienced additional costs associated with building the infrastructure needed to execute on the Company’s three year strategic plan, including expenses related to the Bank’s proposed branch acquisition.

Andrew Samuel, President and CEO, commented, “We are excited to announce positive earnings for the third quarter. We continue to be focused on a smooth transition of the pending branch acquisition and executing our organic growth strategy. As we look at wrapping up 2015 we are focused on continued organic growth and finalizing the infrastructure building needed to position the organization for a smooth transition into 2016.”

Net interest income for the third quarter and first nine months of 2015 increased $2.3 million and $2.8 million, respectively, compared to prior year periods as a result of average balance sheet growth and the transitioning of interest-earning assets from lower yielding investments into higher yielding organic loan growth.

Stockholders’ equity decreased $401,000 to $61.2 million at September 30, 2015 compared to $61.6 million at December 31, 2014. Sunshine Bank exceeds the well-capitalized levels with a September 30, 2015 leverage ratio of 10.6% compared to 17.0% at December 31, 2014 and 19.0% at September 30, 2014.

The acquisition of Community Southern Holdings Inc. was completed on June 30, 2015. In addition, the Company’s pending branch purchase is anticipated to close in the fourth quarter of 2015, pending regulatory approval. The Bank’s application has been filed with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.
