DETAILED FINANCIALS

 

ServisFirst Bancshares, Inc. reported net income of $15.0 million and net income available to common stockholders of $14.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, compared to net income of $11.9 million and net income available to common stockholders of $11.8 million for the same quarter in 2013. Basic and diluted earnings per common share were $0.60 and $0.58, respectively, for the fourth quarter of 2014, compared to $0.55 and $0.53, respectively, for the fourth quarter of 2013.

 

Return on average assets was 1.47% and return on average common stockholders’ equity was 16.39% for the fourth quarter of 2014, compared to 1.36% and 18.86%, respectively, for the fourth quarter of 2013.

 

Net interest income was $34.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2014, compared to $33.3 million for the third quarter of 2014 and $30.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2013. The net interest margin in the fourth quarter of 2014 was 3.56%, a 9 basis point decrease from the third quarter of 2014 and 11 basis point decrease from the fourth quarter of 2013. The increase in net interest income on a linked quarter basis is attributable to a $132.3 million increase in average loans outstanding, a $71.9 million increase in average non-interest-bearing deposits and a $14.1 million increase in average stockholders’ equity, all resulting in a positive mix change in our balance sheet. The lower net interest margin is driven in part by increasing balances in federal funds at other banks and higher balances at the Federal Reserve, which earn a nominal interest rate.

 

Average loans for the fourth quarter of 2014 were $3.23 billion, an increase of $132.3 million, or 4%, over average loans of $3.09 billion for the third quarter of 2014, and an increase of $465.1 million, or 17%, over average loans of $2.76 billion for the fourth quarter of 2013.

 

Average total deposits for the fourth quarter of 2014 were $3.41 billion, an increase of $193.2 million, or 6%, over average total deposits of $3.21 billion for the third quarter of 2014, and an increase of $437.1 million, or 15%, over average total deposits of $2.97 billion for the fourth quarter of 2013.

 

The Company’s asset quality remained strong in the fourth quarter of 2014. At December 31, 2014, non-performing assets to total assets were 0.41%, compared to 0.61% for the third quarter of 2014 and 0.64% compared to the fourth quarter of 2013. Net credit charge-offs to average loans were 0.19%, a 0.02% increase compared to 0.17% for the third quarter of 2014 and an increase of 0.10% compared to 0.09% for the fourth quarter of 2013. We recorded a $2.8 million provision for loan losses in the fourth quarter of 2014, compared to $2.7 million in the third quarter of 2014 and an increase of $0.4 million compared to $2.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2013. Growth in loans and improving credit quality has resulted in our loan loss reserve as a percent of loans remaining relatively stable, decreasing three basis points to 1.06% at December 31, 2014, as compared to 1.09% for September 30, 2014 and a decrease of one basis point as compared to 1.07% for December 31, 2013 . In management’s opinion, the reserve is adequate and was determined by consistent application of ServisFirst Bank’s methodology for calculating its reserve for loan losses.

 

 
 

 

Non-interest income increased $739,000 in the fourth quarter of 2014, or 31%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2013. Deposit service charges increased by $331,000, or 40%, resulting from an increase in the number of accounts and transactions. Increases in the cash surrender value of our life insurance contracts resulted from added investments in contracts during the third quarter of 2014.

 

Non-interest expense for the fourth quarter of 2014 increased $845,000, or 7%, to $13.1 million from $12.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2013. Salary and benefit expense for the fourth quarter of 2014 decreased $209,000, or 3%, to $6.3 million from $6.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2013, and decreased $1.6 million, or 25%, on a linked quarter basis. Other operating expense for the fourth quarter of 2014 increased $1.0 million, or 34%, to $3.9 million from $2.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2013. This was in part due to tax credit partnership related expenses of $631,000 for the fourth quarter of 2014 compared to $198,000 in the same quarter in 2013. We recognized tax credits of $666,000 during the fourth quarter of 2014 from these investments.

 

GAAP Reconciliation and Management Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

As discussed in more detail in the section titled “Detailed Financials,” we recorded a non-routine expense of $703,000 for the first quarter of 2014 resulting from the correction of our accounting for vested stock options previously granted to members of our advisory boards in our Dothan, Huntsville and Montgomery, Alabama markets, and we recorded a non-routine expense of $1.8 million for the second quarter of 2014 resulting from a correction of our accounting for vested stock options previously granted to members of our advisory boards in our Mobile, Alabama and Pensacola, Florida markets. This change in accounting treatment is a non-cash item and does not impact our operating activities or cash from operations. The non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release of our results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2014 are “core net income,” “core net income available to common stockholders,” “core diluted earnings per share,” “core return on average assets” and “core return on average common stockholders’ equity.” Each of these five core financial measures excludes the impact of the non-routine expense attributable to the correction of our accounting for vested stock options. None of the other periods included in this press release are affected by this correction.

 

“Core net income” is defined as net income, adjusted by the net effect of the non-routine expense.

 

“Core net income available to common stockholders” is defined as net income available to common stockholders, adjusted by the net effect of the non-routine expense.

 

“Core diluted earnings per share” is defined as net income available to common stockholders, adjusted by the net effect of the non-routine expense, divided by weighted average diluted shares outstanding.

 

“Core return on average assets” is defined as net income, adjusted by the net effect of the non-routine expense, divided by average total assets.

 

“Core return on average common stockholders’ equity” is defined as net income, adjusted by the net effect of the non-routine expense, divided by average common stockholders’ equity.

 

We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to management and investors that is supplementary to our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows computed in accordance with GAAP; however, we acknowledge that these non-GAAP financial measures have a number of limitations. As such, you should not view these disclosures as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP, and they are not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP financial measures that other companies, including those in our industry, use. The following reconciliation table provides a more detailed analysis of the non-GAAP financial measures for the year ended December 31, 2014. Dollars are in thousands, except share and per share data.
