(firmenpresse) - POMPANO BEACH, FL -- (Marketwired) -- 01/28/16 -- (NASDAQ: SGBK) ("Stonegate") reported net income of $7.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2015 or $0.56 per diluted common share, as compared to net income of $6.8 million for the third quarter of 2015 or $0.53 per diluted common share.
Total loans, net of discounts and deferred fees, grew $19.5 million during the fourth quarter of 2015 to $1.86 billion at December 31, 2015, a result of net organic loan growth during the fourth quarter. Commercial real estate ("CRE") comprised 48% of new loan originations for the fourth quarter of 2015, based upon the outstanding balance as of December 31, 2015. Residential loans accounted for 28% of the new loan originations; 14% of the new originations were construction; commercial and industrial ("C&I") was 9% of new originations with the remaining balance in consumer and other loans. The loan production for the current quarter was comprised of 61% variable rate loans, with approximately 48% of the variable rate loans tied to LIBOR. Total organic loan growth for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 was approximately 9.0%.
Total loans past due 30 - 89 days, excluding nonaccrual loans, were $864,000 at December 31, 2015, a decrease of $2.0 million from September 30, 2015. Nonaccrual loans were $6.6 million at December 31, 2015, or 0.36% of total loans, up from $6.4 million at September 30, 2015, or 0.35% of total loans. Other real estate owned was $1.4 million at December 31, 2015, a decrease of $1.2 million from September 30, 2015.
Net interest income, on a tax equivalent basis, decreased $888,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2015 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2015. Net interest income totaled $21.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2015. The net interest margin, on a tax equivalent basis, declined to 4.06% for the fourth quarter of 2015 as compared to 4.32% for the third quarter of 2015 but was an increase over the net interest margin of 3.78% for the quarter ended December 2014. The decrease from the third quarter of 2015 to the fourth quarter of 2015 in the margin was primarily a result of the nonaccretable discounts that were recognized during the third quarter.
Noninterest expense decreased to $12.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2015 from $12.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015.
Stonegate remained well-capitalized as of December 31, 2015 with capital of $282.6 million as compared to $274.2 million at September 30, 2015. As of December 31, 2015, Stonegate's total risk-based capital ratio was 11.8%; Stonegate's Tier 1 and Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio were each 11.0%; and Stonegate's leverage capital ratio was 10.0%.
Loans outstanding at December 31, 2015 were $1.86 billion as compared to $1.84 billion at September 30, 2015, an increase of $19.5 million during the fourth quarter of 2015.
The loan portfolio consists primarily of loans to individuals and small- and medium-sized businesses within Stonegate's primary market areas of South and West Florida. The table below shows the loan portfolio composition:
New loan originations were $123.1 million during the fourth quarter of 2015, with fundings of $90.6 million. As of December 31, 2015, outstanding commitments were approximately $392.7 million with approximately $91.2 million representing new approved loan originations and approximately $130.3 million in unfunded construction commitments.
Deposits increased to $2.02 billion at December 31, 2015 from $1.95 billion at September 30, 2015. Noninterest-bearing deposits were $394 million at December 31, 2015, an increase from $389.7 million at September 30, 2015, and represented approximately 19.5% of total deposits. NOW deposits increased $26.3 million during the fourth quarter of 2015 to $310.3 million. Money market accounts were $1.05 billion at December 31, 2015, an increase of $43.2 million from September 30, 2015. Time deposits decreased approximately $7.7 million during the fourth quarter of 2015 due to runoff of acquired deposits that were priced above the market.
The following table shows the composition of deposits as of December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015:
As of December 31, 2015, Stonegate's past due and nonaccrual loans totaled $7.5 million and were 0.40% of total loans as compared to $9.2 million or 0.50% of total loans at September 30, 2015. Loans past due and nonaccrual from acquired portfolios totaled $3.8 million as of December 31, 2015. Loans past due 30-89 days were $864,000 at December 31, 2015, a significant decrease from $2.8 million at September 30, 2015. The decrease in past due loans was a result of two loans for $2.6 million being transferred to nonaccrual status during the current quarter. Nonaccrual loans stood at $6.6 million at December 31, 2015, a slight increase from $6.4 million at September 30, 2015. This increase was primarily due to the addition of four loans for $2.7 million, of which $2.6 million were legacy loans, offset by the payoff of six loans for $2.4 million. Legacy nonaccrual loans were approximately $3.6 million at December 31, 2015 versus $1.0 million as of September 30, 2015. Residential loans classified as nonaccrual were $3.7 million or 55.2% of the nonaccrual loans and commercial real estate loans classified as nonaccrual were $1.8 million or 27.6% of the nonaccrual as of December 31, 2015. As of December 31, 2015, Stonegate did not have any loans past due 90 days or more that were still accruing. At December 31, 2015, there remained approximately $8.6 million in nonaccretable discounts on loans previously acquired. None of the acquired loans are subject to a loss share arrangement with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
Nonperforming assets (nonaccrual loans and other real estate owned) were $8.0 million as of December 31, 2015, a decrease of $1.0 million from September 30, 2015. Other real estate owned decreased to $1.4 million as of December 31, 2015 as compared to $2.6 million as of September 30, 2015. The decrease was the result of the sale of three properties during the quarter.
The following table outlines nonperforming assets for the periods ended:
Loans modified as a troubled debt restructuring were $9.8 million and $9.9 million at December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015, respectively. Loans classified as a troubled debt restructuring and on nonaccrual status were unchanged from September 30, 2015 at $450,000. There were no loans modified as troubled debt restructuring during the fourth quarter of 2015. Specific reserves allocated to loans modified as troubled debt restructuring decreased to $106,000 at December 31, 2015, from $117,000 at September 30, 2015.
At December 31, 2015, the allowance for loan losses was $18.1 million, an increase of $126,000 from September 30, 2015. During the fourth quarter of 2015, recoveries totaled $126,000 and charge-offs were $300,000. Additionally, $300,000 was added to the allowance for loan losses through a provision expense. Specific reserves increased to $778,000 at December 31, 2015 from $700,000 at September 30, 2015. The allowance for loan losses represented 0.98% of total loans as of December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015. Additionally, the allowance represented 1.35% of total legacy loans as of December 31, 2015. Only legacy loans are covered by the allowance as acquired loans are recorded at their fair value on the date of acquisition and none of these loans have experienced significant deterioration above their initial estimate.

The following is a summary of information pertaining to impaired loans for the three months ended:
On a tax equivalent basis, Stonegate's net interest income for the three months ended December 31, 2015 was $21.8 million, a decrease of approximately $888,000 from the third quarter of 2015 and an increase of $7.0 million from the fourth quarter 2014. While earning assets grew from the third quarter of 2015 to the fourth quarter of 2015, the decrease in net interest income from the third quarter of 2015 was primarily a result of the recognition of nonaccretable discounts in the third quarter. The increase from the fourth quarter of 2014 was primarily a result of the loans and other interest-earning assets acquired from Community Bank of Broward ("CBB") and organic growth. Average loans for the fourth quarter of 2015 were $1.84 billion as compared to $1.80 billion for the third quarter of 2015 and $1.28 billion for the fourth quarter of 2014.
The net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis decreased from 4.32% for the third quarter of 2015 to 4.06% for the fourth quarter of 2015. The net interest margin was 3.78% for the fourth quarter of 2014. As noted above, the net interest margin was augmented in the third quarter of 2015 by the recognition of nonaccretable discounts. Without these discounts, the net interest margin for the third quarter of 2015 would have been approximately 4.00%. The average yield on total earning assets was 4.48% for the fourth quarter of 2015 versus 4.72% for the third quarter of 2015. The average yield on paying liabilities increased 2 basis points from 0.52% from the third quarter of 2015 to 0.54% for the fourth quarter of 2015. Stonegate's cost of funds has declined from 0.49% for the December 2014 month-to-date average to 0.44% for the December 2015 month-to-date average.
The following table recaps yields and costs by various interest-earning asset and interest-bearing liability account types for the current quarter, the previous quarter and the same quarter last year.
Noninterest income of $2.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2015 increased from $1.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2015. The increase was primarily attributable to recognition of a non-recurring gain of $595,000 on the sale of an option contained in a land lease and an increase of $263,000 in customer swap fees during the quarter.
Noninterest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2015 decreased from $12.4 million at September 30, 2015 to $12.3 million and was greater than the $9.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2014.
Salaries and employee benefits decreased slightly to $6.7 million for the fourth quarter versus $6.8 million for the third quarter of 2015. This compares with $5.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2014. The increase over the fourth quarter of 2014 was primarily attributable to the increase in staff as a result of the CBB acquisition.
Occupancy and equipment expenses were unchanged at $2.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015. Occupancy and equipment expenses were $1.4 million for the three months December 31, 2014. The increase compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2014 was due to the additional facilities acquired from CBB.
Data processing expense decreased slightly from $445,000 for the third quarter of 2015 to $431,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2015. Professional fees increased for the three months ended December 31, 2015 to $773,000. This compared to professional fees of $546,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and $682,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2014. More than half of the increase in professional fees from the third quarter of 2015 to the fourth quarter of 2015 was the result of attorney fees related to forward looking projects the bank has been and is exploring. However, during the fourth quarter of 2014, Stonegate incurred approximately $125,000 in legal and other professional fees related to the CBB acquisition.
