Beneficial Bancorp, Inc. Announces Third Quarter Results and Cash Dividend to Shareholders

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 19, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Beneficial Bancorp, Inc. (“Beneficial”) (NASDAQ GS: BNCL), the parent company of Beneficial Bank (the “Bank”), today announced its financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018.  Beneficial recorded net income of $12.4 million and $34.1 million, or $0.17 and $0.47 per diluted share, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, compared to net income of $9.4 million and $27.3 million, or $0.13 and $0.37 per diluted share, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.  Net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 includes $2.3 million of professional fees associated with the pending merger of Beneficial with WSFS Financial Corporation.  In addition, net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 includes a $3.3 million net gain on the sale of Beneficial Insurance Services, LLC, a former consolidated wholly owned subsidiary of Beneficial Bank.

On October 18, 2018, the Company declared a cash dividend of 6 cents per common share, payable on or after November 8, 2018, to common shareholders of record at the close of business on October 29, 2018.

Highlights for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 are as follows:

  • Net interest margin totaled 3.26% and 3.27% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to 3.09% and 3.06% for the same periods in 2017, respectively.  Net interest income increased $2.6 million, or 6.1%, and $8.4 million, or 6.7%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same periods in the prior year.  During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the net interest margin was positively impacted by five and seven basis points, respectively, by loan prepayment income.
  • During the three months ended September 30, 2018, Beneficial recorded a $3.3 million net gain on the sale of Beneficial Insurance Services, LLC, a former consolidated wholly owned subsidiary of Beneficial Bank.
  • Our non-performing assets to total assets ratio decreased to 0.49% at September 30, 2018 compared to 0.60% at December 31, 2017. Non-performing assets decreased $6.0 million to $28.9 million at September 30, 2018 from $34.9 million at December 31, 2017, which was primarily due to the sale of one large commercial non-performing loan totaling $7.6 million during the third quarter of 2018.
  • During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recorded a $305 thousand and a $1.2 million net gain on the sale of $6.8 million and $18.9 million of the guaranteed portion of SBA loans, respectively. 
  • Asset quality metrics continued to remain strong with non-performing assets to total assets, excluding government guaranteed student loans, of 0.27% as of September 30, 2018.  Our allowance for loan losses totaled $43.1 million, or 1.10% of total loans, as of September 30, 2018, compared to $43.3 million, or 1.07% of total loans, as of December 31, 2017.  
  • Our effective tax rate decreased to 25.9% and 24.2% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to 36.8% and 33.5% for the same periods in the prior year as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, which was enacted on December 22, 2017 and lowered the federal corporate tax rate to 21% from 35%.
  • During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company purchased 945,400 shares under its previously announced stock repurchase plan.  Our tangible capital to tangible assets ratio was 15.34% at both September 30, 2018 and 2017.  Tangible book value per share totaled $11.68 at September 30, 2018.

Balance Sheet
Total assets increased $68.8 million, or 1.2%, to $5.87 billion at September 30, 2018, compared to $5.80 billion at December 31, 2017.  The increase in total assets was primarily due to growth in total deposits of $96.5 million which led to an increase in cash and cash equivalents.

Cash and cash equivalents increased $285.3 million, or 51.2%, to $842.9 million at September 30, 2018, from $557.6 million at December 31, 2017.  The increase in cash and cash equivalents was primarily driven by investment maturities and repayments and a decrease in our total loan portfolio as well as deposit growth.
           
Investments decreased $121.9 million, or 14.0%, to $748.9 million at September 30, 2018, compared to $870.8 million at December 31, 2017. We continue to focus on maintaining a high-quality investment portfolio that provides a steady stream of cash flows both in the current and in rising interest rate environments.

Loans decreased $107.7 million, or 2.7%, to $3.93 billion at September 30, 2018, from $4.03 billion at December 31, 2017.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, our residential real estate portfolio increased $37.5 million, representing 5.3% annualized growth.  However, this growth was offset by a $94.6 million decrease in our total commercial portfolio and an $88.1 million decrease in our total consumer loan portfolio.  We continue to experience a number of large commercial loan payoffs as projects are completed and sold and financing is obtained from non-bank sources.  The decrease in our consumer loan portfolio was due primarily to a $49.3 million decrease in indirect auto loans resulting from our planned run-off of this portfolio segment.  As previously disclosed, we decided to exit the indirect lending business in the first quarter of 2017.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2018, we entered into an asset purchase agreement with a third party to sell the net assets of Beneficial Insurance Services, LLC.  In connection with that sale, Beneficial received net proceeds of $14.1 million and realized a net gain of $3.3 million as the sale proceeds exceeded our carrying amount for Beneficial Insurance Services including goodwill and intangible assets.  Goodwill and intangible assets that related to Beneficial Insurance Services decreased $10.2 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2018 as a result of the sale.  For the nine months ending September 30, 2018, non-interest income and non-interest expense includes $4.6 million and $4.6 million, respectively, related to Beneficial Insurance Services.  These non-interest income and non-interest expense items related to Beneficial Insurance Services will not occur in future periods.

Deposits increased $96.5 million, or 2.3%, to $4.25 billion at September 30, 2018, from $4.15 billion at December 31, 2017.  Deposit growth was primarily achieved through organic core deposit growth of $182.2 million in interest business checking accounts and $31.4 million of growth in time deposits, partially offset by the maturity of $71.9 million of higher cost brokered certificates of deposit, which we did not renew given our excess liquidity position.  The growth in interest business checking is primarily due to one large commercial deposit account.  We expect this temporary balance to decrease in the fourth quarter.

Borrowings decreased $25.4 million to $515.0 million at September 30, 2018.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company paid off $25.8 million of a higher cost trust preferred debenture.

Stockholders’ equity increased $2.4 million, or 0.2%, to $1.04 billion at September 30, 2018, from $1.03 billion at December 31, 2017.  The increase in stockholders’ equity was primarily due to $34.1 million of net income during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, partially offset by the declaration of cash dividends and stock repurchases.

Net Interest Income
For the three months ended September 30, 2018, net interest income was $45.0 million, an increase of $2.6 million, or 6.1%, from the three months ended September 30, 2017. The increase in net interest income was primarily due to an increase in yields on the investment and loan portfolios following recent Federal Reserve Bank federal funds rate increases. The Company also paid off $25.8 million of a higher cost trust preferred debenture during the first quarter of 2018. The net interest margin totaled 3.26% for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 as compared to 3.09% for the same period in 2017.  During the three months ended September 30, 2018, the net interest margin was positively impacted by five basis points due to loan prepayments compared to a two basis points impact during the three months ended September 30, 2017. Also during the three months ended September 30, 2018, the net interest margin was negatively impacted 16 basis points by higher cash levels due to slower than anticipated loan growth as average cash for the period totaled $702.7 million, an increase of $314.7 million from $388.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2017.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, Beneficial reported net interest income of $133.3 million, an increase of $8.4 million, or 6.7%, from the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The increase in net interest income was primarily due to an increase in yields on the investment and loan portfolios following recent Federal Reserve Bank federal funds rate increases.  Our net interest margin increased to 3.27% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, from 3.06% for the same period in 2017.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the net interest margin was positively impacted by seven basis points due to loan prepayments compared to a two basis points impact during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Also during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the net interest margin was negatively impacted 15 basis points by higher cash levels due to slower than anticipated loan growth as average cash for the period totaled $585.0 million, an increase of $253.9 million from $331.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Non-interest Income
For the three months ended September 30, 2018, non-interest income totaled $9.9 million, an increase of $2.8 million, or 38.9%, from the three months ended September 30, 2017.  The increase was primarily due to a $3.3 million net gain on the sale of Beneficial Insurance Services, LLC.  This increase to non-interest income was partially offset by a $442 thousand decrease in income from insurance and advisory services during the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same period in the prior year.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, non-interest income totaled $23.9 million, an increase of $2.3 million, or 10.8%, from the nine months ended September 30, 2017.  The increase was primarily due to a $3.3 million net gain on the sale of Beneficial Insurance Services, LLC.  This increase to non-interest income was partially offset by an $835 thousand decrease in income from insurance and advisory services during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same period in the prior year.

Non-interest Expense
For the three months ended September 30, 2018, non-interest expense totaled $36.4 million, an increase of $2.5 million, or 7.5%, from the three months ended September 30, 2017.  The increase in non-interest expense was primarily due $2.3 million of professional fees associated with the previously mentioned pending merger of Beneficial with WSFS Financial Corporation.  The increase can also be attributed to an increase in salaries and employee benefits of $1.2 million due primarily to enhanced medical coverage provided to our entire employee base, annual merit increases, an increase to our minimum wage and the costs associated with the build out of Neumann Finance. 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, non-interest expense totaled $108.0 million, an increase of $4.6 million, or 4.5%, from the nine months ended September 30, 2017.  The increase in non-interest expense was primarily due to an increase in salaries and employee benefits of $3.5 million due primarily to enhanced medical coverage provided to our entire employee base, annual merit increases, an increase in our minimum wage and the costs associated with the build out of Neumann Finance.  The increase in non-interest expense was also due $2.3 million of professional fees associated with the previously mentioned pending merger of Beneficial with WSFS Financial Corporation. These increases to non-interest expense were partially offset by a $753 thousand decrease in intangible amortization expense as a result of certain intangible assets reaching the end of their estimated lives. 

Income Taxes
For the three months ended September 30, 2018, we recorded a provision for income taxes of $4.3 million, reflecting an effective tax rate of 25.9%, compared to a provision for income taxes of $5.5 million, reflecting an effective tax rate of 36.8%, for the three months ended September 30, 2017.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we recorded a provision for income taxes of $10.8 million, reflecting an effective tax rate of 24.2%, compared to a provision for income taxes of $13.7 million, reflecting an effective tax rate of 33.5%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.  The decrease in the effective tax rate in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same periods a year ago is primarily due to the passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, which was enacted on December 22, 2017 and lowered the federal corporate tax rate to 21% from 35%.

Asset Quality
Non-accruing loans, excluding government guaranteed student loans, decreased $5.1 million to $15.4 million at September 30, 2018, compared to $20.5 million at December 31, 2017.  Our ratio of non-performing assets to total assets, excluding government guaranteed student loans, decreased to 0.27% at September 30, 2018 compared to 0.36% at December 31, 2017.  The decrease is primarily due to the sale of one large commercial non-performing loan totaling $7.6 million during the quarter.  We had a specific loan loss reserve of $1.5 million for this loan.  The actual loss for the loan was $766 thousand.  Net charge-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, totaled $4.7 million, or 16 basis points annualized of average loans, compared to net charge-offs of $2.1 million, or 7 basis points annualized of average loans, in the same period in 2017.   As a result of charge-offs, we recorded a $1.9 million and $4.6 million provision for loan losses during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, compared to a $750 thousand and $2.1 million provision for loan losses during the same periods in the prior year.  Our allowance for loan losses totaled $43.1 million, or 1.10% of total loans, as of September 30, 2018, compared to $43.1 million, or 1.07% of total loans, as of June 30, 2018, and $43.3 million, or 1.07% of total loans, as of December 31, 2017.

Capital
Beneficial’s and the Bank’s capital position remains strong relative to current regulatory requirements. Beneficial and the Bank continue to have substantial liquidity that has been retained in cash or invested in high quality government-backed securities. As of September 30, 2018, Beneficial’s tangible capital to tangible assets totaled 15.34%. In addition, at September 30, 2018, we had the ability to borrow up to $2.3 billion combined from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh and the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia.
