WINTER HAVEN, Fla., April 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- CenterState Bank Corporation (Nasdaq: CSFL) (the "Company" or "CenterState") announced first quarter 2020 results.  Highlights for the period ended March 31, 2020 and selected performance metrics are set forth below.

Earnings Highlights: The Company reported first quarter 2020 net income of $35.4 million compared to $71.1 million for the fourth quarter 2019.  Diluted Earnings per Share ("EPS") was $0.28 in the first quarter 2020 compared to $0.56 in the fourth quarter 2019.  Return on Average Assets ("ROAA") for the current quarter was 0.82% compared to 1.63% for the fourth quarter 2019 while Return on Tangible Average Common Equity ("ROTCE") (non-GAAP(1)) and adjusted ROTCE (non-GAAP(1)) for the current quarter were each 9.9% compared to 18.8% and 19.1%, respectively, for the fourth quarter 2019. 

 

During the current quarter, the Company repurchased a total of 1.45 million shares or 1.2% of its outstanding shares, resulting in Tangible Book Value per share ("TBV") (non-GAAP(1)) of $12.68 and Tangible Common Equity ("TCE") ratio of 9.1%, after the adoption of CECL on January 1, 2020 and higher Q1 2020 provision for credit losses for loans held for investment and credit loss expense for unfunded commitments.

 

  • Other Financial Results:
    • Adjusted pre-tax pre-provision income (non-GAAP(1)): $90.4 million for the current quarter compared to $95.0 for the fourth quarter 2019 on record revenue(2) of $209.1 million, up $889 or 0.4% from fourth quarter 2019
    • Net Interest Margin, tax equivalent ("NIM") (Non-GAAP(1)): decreased 8 bps to 4.17% from the fourth quarter 2019; core NIM excluding all loan accretion (Non-GAAP(1)) of 3.74%, a decrease of 3 bps from the fourth quarter 2019 reflecting, in part, the declining interest rate environment and volatility following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic
    • Non-interest income(3): 1.29% of average assets for the current quarter compared with 1.15% in the fourth quarter 2019
    • Efficiency ratio (Non-GAAP(1)): 58.5% reported, 54.9% adjusted for the first quarter 2020 compared to 54.3% and 52.1%, respectively, in the fourth quarter 2019
    • Loan growth: loan growth of $43.3 million or 1% annualized
    • Deposit growth: non-CD deposits growth of $348 million or 13% annualized; DDA growth of $271 million or 17% annualized

    • CECL adopted January 1, 2020, with initial Allowance for Credit Losses ("ACL") of $115.3 million, and a $6.0 million reserve for unfunded commitments (reported as other liability on the balance sheet); reflects a combined $80.7 million increase in these reserves at adoption compared to fiscal year-end 2019 levels; the March 31, 2020 ending ACL and reserve for unfunded commitments increased by $125.2 million over the balance at December 31, 2019
    • $44.9 million provision for credit losses on loans during the first quarter of 2020, bringing the ACL to $158.7 million, reflecting an increase of 37.7% above the level at adoption; $1.0 million provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments leaving a $7.1 million reserve for unfunded commitments; total expense for reserve build of $45.9 million during the quarter, the vast majority of which was associated with the effects of COVID-19
    • Net charge-off of $1,444 in the first quarter 2020 compared to $4,384 in the fourth quarter 2019
  • Small Business Administration ("SBA") Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP"): In April 2020, the Company generated over 6,700 loans for a total loan amount over $1.1 billion in the SBA system through April 16, 2020

IMPACT OF ADOPTION OF CURRENT EXPECTED CREDIT LOSSES ("CECL")

CECL Impact on Adoption Date

The Company adopted CECL effective January 1, 2020.  The final adoption model resulted in an increase to ACL as a percentage of total loans by 62 bps.  This increase included the reclassification of the credit mark on PCD loans from loan discount to ACL.  In addition, the Company recorded a reserve for credit losses on unfunded commitments of $6 million and a reserve for credit losses on held to maturity securities of $10 thousand.  The impact to retained earnings, net of deferred taxes, of the increase in ACL, reserve for the unfunded commitments and credit losses on debt securities held to maturity was $48 million, resulting in 28 bps reduction in tangible common equity as a percentage of total tangible assets (non-GAAP). See table on page 12, Explanation of Certain Unaudited Non-GAAP Financial Measures for the impact of CECL adoption on the tangible common equity ratio.

The table below summarizes the CECL impact on ACL as a percentage of total loans.

NET INTEREST MARGIN

The Company's NIM decreased 8 bps from 4.25% in the previous quarter to 4.17% during the current quarter, primarily as a result of reduced accretion (5 bps) and a decline in loan yields due to a reduction in the federal funds rate and in LIBOR rates.  The first quarter 2020 loan accretion of $15,834 impacted NIM by 43 bps, as compared with the previous quarter's $18,093, which increased NIM by 48 bps.  Interest earning assets yield excluding loan accretion in the current quarter decreased by 10 bps compared with the previous quarter, which was offset by a decrease of 7 bps in cost of deposits. 

The table below summarizes yields and costs by various interest earning asset and interest bearing liability account types for the current quarter, the previous calendar quarter and the same quarter last year.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

Non-interest income increased $5,461 to $55,790 during the current quarter compared to $50,329 in the previous quarter.  The increase is mainly attributable to higher interest rate swap and fixed income revenue in the correspondent banking division and mortgage banking revenue.  The table below summarizes the Company's non-interest income for the periods indicated.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSES

Excluding merger-related expenses, non-interest expense increased $6,471 in the first quarter to $119,721 compared to the previous quarter.  The increase was primarily driven by a $4,104 increase in salary, wage and benefit expenses which were largely due to increases of approximately $3.0 million and $1.2 million in health insurance and payroll taxes, respectively.  Bank regulatory related expenses increased by $1,084.  The Company also recorded $1,027 in credit loss expense for unfunded commitments during the current quarter as a result of increase in potential credit losses resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.  The table below summarizes the Company's non-interest expense for the periods indicated.

CREDIT QUALITY AND ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES

Non-performing assets ("NPAs") totaled $89,762 at March 31, 2020, compared to $43,870 at December 31, 2019.  NPAs as a percentage of total assets increased to 0.48% at March 31, 2020, compared to 0.26% at December 31, 2019 and 0.33% at March 31, 2019.  With the adoption of ASC 326 and the new accounting treatment for PCD loans, the Company began to include non-accrual PCD loans in its non-performing assets and related credit metrics starting with the current quarter.  Previous periods do not include PCD loans as these loans were not considered non-performing under ASC 310-30.

EXPLANATION OF CERTAIN UNAUDITED NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES  

This press release contains financial information determined by methods other than U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), including adjusted net income, adjusted pre-tax pre-provision income, adjusted net income per share diluted, adjusted return on average assets, adjusted return on average equity, return on average tangible equity, adjusted return on average tangible equity, adjusted efficiency ratio, adjusted non-interest income, adjusted non-interest expense, adjusted net-interest income, tangible common equity, tangible common equity to tangible assets, common tangible equity per common share, tax equivalent yields on loans, securities and earning assets, and tax equivalent net interest spread and margin, which we refer to "Non-GAAP financial measures." The tables below provide reconciliations between these Non-GAAP measures and net income, interest income, net interest income and tax equivalent basis interest income and net interest income, return on average assets, return on average equity, the efficiency ratio, total stockholders' equity and tangible common equity, as applicable.  

Management uses these Non-GAAP financial measures in its analysis of the Company's performance and believes these presentations provide useful supplemental information, and enhance investors' understanding of the Company's core business and performance without the impact of merger-related expenses and provision for credit losses.  Management believes it is appropriate to exclude merger-related expenses because those costs are specific to each acquisition, vary based upon the size, complexity and other specifics of each acquisition, and are not indicative of the costs to operate the Company's core business.  In addition, management excludes provision for credit losses from pre-tax income to present the periods on a more comparable basis without the effect of the higher provision for credit losses resulting from the adoption of CECL and COVID-19 pandemic. 

Non-GAAP measures are also useful in understanding performance trends and facilitate comparisons with the performance of other financial institutions. The limitations associated with operating measures are the risk that persons might disagree as to the appropriateness of items comprising these measures and that different companies might calculate these measures differently. The Company provides reconciliations between GAAP and these Non-GAAP measures.  These disclosures should not be considered an alternative to GAAP.
