Veritex Holdings, Inc. Reports Record First Quarter Financial Results

Strong Organic Loan Growth Continues Into 2018

DALLAS, April 23, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Veritex Holdings, Inc. (“Veritex” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq:VBTX), the holding company for Veritex Community Bank, today announced the results for the quarter ended March 31, 2018. The Company reported net income available to common stockholders of $10.4 million, or $0.42 diluted earnings per share (“EPS”), compared to $3.3 million, or $0.14 diluted EPS, for the quarter ended December 31, 2017 and $3.1 million, or $0.20 diluted EPS, for the quarter ended March 31, 2017.

C. Malcolm Holland, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “I am excited to report record quarterly results. Our earnings reflect significant benefits achieved from the financially attractive acquisitions of Sovereign Bancshares, Inc. and Liberty Bancshares, Inc. completed over the prior two quarters. Integration of these acquisitions have gone well, and we completed the Liberty acquisition’s core system conversion earlier this month. We are currently on track for another good year with strong capital, exceptional credit quality and strong growth in both loans and deposits.”

2018 First Quarter Highlights

  • Net income available for common stockholders for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 was $10.4 million, or $0.42 diluted EPS, compared to $3.1 million, or $0.20 diluted EPS, for the quarter ended March 31, 2017.

  • Core (non-GAAP) net income available for common stockholders totaled $9.0 million, or $0.37 core diluted EPS, for the quarter ended March 31, 2018, compared to $3.1 million, or $0.20 core diluted EPS, for the quarter ended March 31, 2017.

  • Total loans, excluding $26.3 million in loans that were sold in connection with the sale of two branch locations discussed below, increased $82.6 million, or 14.8% annualized, to 2.3 billion compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2017.

  • Total deposits, excluding $64.3 million in deposits that were sold in connection with the sale of two branch locations discussed below, increased $215.2 million, or 37.6% annualized, to $2.5 billion compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2017.

  • We completed the previously announced sale of certain assets and liabilities associated with two branches in the Austin metropolitan market to Horizon Bank, SSB resulting in a $355 thousand gain on sale reported in other non-interest income. The completion of the sale results in us exiting the Austin metropolitan market.

Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 was negatively impacted by an $820 thousand re-measurement of our deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities due to our new effective tax rate under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”), compared to a negative impact of $3.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2017.

The measurement period for Veritex to determine the fair values of acquired identifiable assets and assumed liabilities is the earlier of (i) twelve months from the date of the acquisition or (ii) as soon as Veritex receives the information it was seeking about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date or learns that more information is not obtainable. As Veritex had only recorded provisional estimates for the acquisition of Sovereign Bancshares, Inc. (“Sovereign”) and Liberty Bancshares, Inc. (“Liberty”) with respect to loans, bank premises, furniture and equipment, goodwill, intangible assets and deferred taxes for the quarter ended December 31, 2017, changes to these provisional estimates and re-measurement of deferred taxes negatively impacted net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2018. Changes to recorded provisional estimates for the Liberty acquisitions with respect to loans, goodwill, intangible assets, accrued expenses, deposits and deferred taxes could potentially have a further impact on our earnings.

As part of how we measure our results, we use certain non-GAAP financial measures to ascertain performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are reconciled in the section labeled “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” at the end of this press release.

Result of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2018

Net Interest Income

For the three months ended March 31, 2018, net interest income before provision for loan losses was $29.1 million and net interest margin was 4.46% compared to $25.8 million and 4.24%, respectively, for the three months ended December 31, 2017. The $3.3 million increase in net interest income was primarily due to an increase in interest income on loans, which was driven by increased volume in all loan categories resulting from continued organic loan growth and a $1.0 million increase in accretion during the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2017 on loans acquired from Sovereign and Liberty. Net interest margin increased 22 basis points from the three months ended December 31, 2017 primarily due to a change in mix of earning assets resulting from increases in loans, which tend to yield greater interest rates than other interest earning assets. Average loan balances represented 85.4% of average interest-earnings assets for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to 84.3% for the three months ended December 31, 2017.

Net interest income before provision for loan losses increased by $17.8 million from $11.3 million to $29.1 million and net interest margin increased 125 basis points from 3.21% to 4.46% for the three months ended March 31, 2018 as compared to the same period in 2017. The increase in net interest income before provision for loan losses was primarily driven by higher loan balances resulting from loans acquired from Sovereign and Liberty and continued organic loan growth. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, average loan balance increased by $1.3 billion compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017, which resulted in a $20.2 million increase in interest income. Net interest margin increased 125 basis points from the three months ended March 31, 2017 primarily due to a change in mix of earning assets resulting from increased loan balances as well as benefits of increases in the prime rates in new and renewed loans. Average loan balances represented 85.4% of average interest-earnings assets for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to 70.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2017.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $2.8 million, an increase of $483 thousand or 21.0% compared to the three months ended December 31, 2017. The increase was primarily due to a $355 thousand gain on sale of assets resulting from the completion of the sale of certain assets and liabilities associated with two branches in the Austin market. In addition, the increase was due to $339 thousand increase in rental income resulting from the purchase of our headquarter building on December 6, 2017. This increase was partially offset by a $267 thousand gain on the sale of an other real estate owned property during the fourth quarter of 2017 with no corresponding sale in the first quarter of 2018.

Compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017, noninterest income for the three months ended March 31, 2018 grew $1.2 million or 81.2%. The increase was primarily due to a $424 thousand increase in service charges and fees on deposit accounts resulting from the additional acquired Sovereign and Liberty deposit accounts and the associated income from these accounts, $478 thousand of rental income resulting from the purchase of our headquarter building and the $355 thousand gain on sale of assets referenced above resulting from the completion of the sale of the two branches in the Austin market. This increase was partially offset by a $152 thousand decrease in gain on sale of Small Business Administration loans.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense was $17.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to $15.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2017, an increase of $2.3 million or 15.1%. The increase was primarily driven by a $1.5 million consent fee paid in connection with the execution of an assignment agreement entered into in January 2018 to assign one of our branch leases  that the Company ceased using during the three months ended December 31, 2017, which was recorded in occupancy and equipment expense. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2017, salaries and employee benefits increased $573 thousand primarily due to two additional months of salaries and employee benefit expenses for employees associated with the Liberty acquisition that were recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2018, as the Liberty acquisition closed on December 1, 2017. Amortization of intangibles increased $427 thousand primarily due to a $336 thousand increase in amortization of intangible in-place lease assets associated with the purchase of our headquarter building in December 2017.

Compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017, noninterest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2018 increased $9.9 million, or 132.3%. The increase was primarily driven by a $4.0 million increase in salaries and employee benefits expense related to the additional full-time equivalent employees as a result of the Sovereign and Liberty acquisitions. Additionally, occupancy and equipment expense increased $2.2 million primarily due to the $1.5 million consent fee paid in connection with the lease assignment agreement referenced above. Professional fees increased $1.0 million primarily as a result of increased legal fees associated with closing of the sale of two branches in Austin and the execution of a sublease and a lease assignment agreement during the first quarter of 2018.  Amortization of intangibles increased $883 thousand primarily due to a $519 thousand increase in amortization of intangible in-place lease assets associated with the purchase of our headquarter building in December 2017.

Financial Condition

Total loans were $2.3 billion at March 31, 2018, an increase of $56.3 million, or 2.5%, compared to December 31, 2017. Excluding $26.3 million of loans that were sold in connection with the sale of two branch locations in the first quarter of 2018, total loans increased $82.6 million, or 3.7%. The net increase was primarily the result of the continued execution and success of our organic growth strategy.

Total deposits were $2.5 billion at March 31, 2018, an increase of $150.9 million, or 6.4%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2017. Excluding $64.3 million of deposits that were sold in connection with the sale of two branch locations in the first quarter of 2018, total deposits increased $215.2 million, or 9.4%. The increase was primarily due to an increase in financial institution money market accounts of $209.2 million, which includes organic growth in our correspondent money market accounts of $164.3 million. This growth was partially offset by a decrease in non-interest bearing deposits of $54.9 million.

Asset Quality

Our allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans was 0.58% and 0.57% of total loans at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was determined by the qualitative factors around the nature, volume and mix of the loan portfolio. The increase in the allowance for loan loss as a percentage of loans was attributable to continued execution and success of our organic growth strategy. We recorded a provision for loan losses of $678 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 compared to a provision of $2.5 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2017, due to an increase in our loans as result of organic growth as compared to an increase in acquired loans due to the closing of the Liberty acquisition in December 2017.

Nonperforming assets totaled $3.8 million, or 0.12%, of total assets at March 31, 2018 compared to $932 thousand, or 0.03%, of total assets at December 31, 2017. The increase of $2.9 million in nonperforming assets compared to December 31, 2017 was primarily due to an increase in nonperforming loans of $3.3 million offset by a decrease in other real estate owned of $439 thousand.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company’s management uses certain non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) financial measures to evaluate its performance. Specifically, the Company reviews and reports core net interest income, core non-interest expense, core net income from operations, core net income, core net income available to common stockholders, core diluted earnings per share, core efficiency ratio, core net interest margin, core return on average assets, tangible book value per common share and the tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio. The Company has included in this release information related to these non-GAAP financial measures for the applicable periods presented. Please refer to “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” at the end of this release for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures.

Business Combinations Measurement Period

The measurement period for the Company to determine the fair values of acquired identifiable assets and assumed liabilities for Liberty will end at the earlier of (i) twelve months from the date of the acquisition or (ii) as soon as the Company receives the information it was seeking about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date or learns that more information is not obtainable. Provisional estimates for loans, goodwill, intangible assets, accrued expenses, deposits and deferred taxes have been recorded for the Liberty acquisition as independent valuations have not been finalized. Changes to provisional estimates could potentially have an impact on the re-measurement of our deferred taxes.
