ASB Bancorp, Inc. Reports Financial Results For The Quarter Ended March 31, 2016

ASHEVILLE, N.C., April 29, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- ASB Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") (NASDAQ GM: ASBB), the holding company for Asheville Savings Bank, S.S.B. (the "Bank"), announced today its unaudited preliminary operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2016. The Company reported net income of $1.1 million, or $0.30 per diluted common share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 compared to $622,000, or $0.16 per diluted common share, for the same quarter of 2015.

Suzanne S. DeFerie, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented: "Our solid first quarter financial results demonstrate that the positive trends we saw towards the end of fiscal year 2015 continued into early 2016. We experienced further growth in core deposits and total loans, expanded net interest margin, and improved asset quality. By increasing net interest and noninterest income coupled with controlling expenses, we were able to realize our key goal of improving our efficiency ratio below our near-term target of 73% while maintaining a strong capital position. The result of our work was an 80% improvement in first quarter net income compared to the same period last year."

"The current economic drivers in our marketplace give us confidence that this progress should persist through the remainder of 2016. We intend to continue driving efficiency, with a long-term target of 54% to 64%. This should drive increased value for our shareholders as we target returns of 8.1% to 9.0% on average equity and 1.0% to 1.1% on average assets over the next three years."

2016 First Quarter Highlights

• Net income for the first quarter of 2016 was $1.1 million, or $0.30 per diluted common share, compared to $622,000, or $0.16 per diluted common share, for the first quarter of 2015.
• Net interest income increased 10.2% to $5.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 from $5.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The net interest margin improved to 3.21% for the first quarter of 2016 compared to 3.01% for the same quarter of 2015.
• Interest income from loans increased 9.1% in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the first quarter of 2015, which primarily reflected a $58.2 million increase in average loan balances when comparing the two quarters.
• Interest expense was $844,000 for the first quarter of 2016 compared to $861,000 for the same quarter of 2015 due to lower volumes of time deposits.
• Provisions for loan losses were $399,000 in the first quarter of 2016 compared to $194,000 in the first quarter of 2015 primarily due to the provision of a specific reserve on a loan determined to be impaired late in the first quarter.  The allowance for loan losses was 1.13% of total loans at March 31, 2016 compared to 1.09% at December 31, 2015, and the allowance coverage of nonperforming loans was 284.6% at March 31, 2016 compared to 246.8% at December 31, 2015. 
• Loan balances increased $19.7 million, or 3.4%, to $595.8 million during the first quarter of 2016 and increased $54.1 million, or 10.0%, since March 31, 2015 as new loan originations exceeded loan repayments, prepayments and foreclosures.
• Noninterest income increased 27.3% to $2.0 million for the first quarter of 2016 from $1.6 million for the first quarter of 2015, primarily due to an increase in gains realized from the sale of investment securities and an increase in deposit and other service charge income.
• Noninterest expenses remained at $5.8 million for the first quarters of 2016 and 2015.
• Delinquent and nonperforming loans were 0.35% and 0.40%, respectively, of total loans at March 31, 2016 compared to 0.49% and 0.44%, respectively, of total loans at December 31, 2015. 
• Nonperforming assets, including foreclosed properties, were 1.02% of total assets at March 31, 2016 compared to 1.05% of total assets at December 31, 2015 and 1.61% of total assets at March 31, 2015.
• Core deposits, which exclude certificates of deposit, increased $4.7 million, or 0.9%, since December 31, 2015 and $41.9 million, or 9.1%, since March 31, 2015. Noninterest-bearing deposits increased $6.9 million, or 6.1%, and commercial non-maturity deposits increased $6.0 million, or 4.1%, since December 31, 2015.
• Book value per common share increased to $23.10 at March 31, 2016 from $22.50 at December 31, 2015 and $21.93 at March 31, 2015.
• Capital remained strong with consolidated regulatory capital ratios of 16.65% common equity tier 1 capital, 12.33% tier 1 leverage capital, 16.65% tier 1 risk-based capital and 17.81% total risk-based capital.   

Income Statement Analysis

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased by $540,000, or 10.2%, to $5.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $5.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Interest income on loans increased $502,000, primarily resulting from a $58.2 million increase in average loan balances, partially offset by a 10 basis point decrease in the average yield on loans. Interest on investment securities increased $20,000, attributable to a 35 basis point increase in the average yield earned on the investment portfolio, which was partially offset by a $12.0 million decrease in the average balance of investment securities. Interest expense decreased $17,000, or 2.0%, for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2015. The lower interest expense was primarily attributable to lower average balances of certificates of deposit, as well as average rate reductions of 2 basis points on total interest-bearing deposits. The decrease in average balances of certificates of deposit was partially offset by higher average balances of NOW, money market and savings accounts. For the same comparable quarterly periods, average noninterest-bearing deposits grew $19.0 million, or 20.1%, which contributed to the reduction of deposit interest expense while deposit funding grew.

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased $439,000, or 27.3%, to $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 from $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Factors that contributed to the increase in noninterest income during the 2016 period included increases of $400,000 in net gains from the sale of investment securities, $80,000 in deposit and other service charge income and $15,000 in fees from debit card services, which were partially offset by decreases of $42,000 in mortgage banking income and $21,000 in income from an investment in a Small Business Investment Company. Increased income on deposit and other fees primarily related to retail checking accounts, while increased transaction volume drove the rise in income from debit card services. The decrease in mortgage banking income was attributable to lower volumes of residential mortgage loans originated and sold.

Noninterest Expenses. Noninterest expenses remained at $5.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015. Decreases of $75,000 in loan expenses, $34,000 in occupancy expenses, $31,000 in salaries and employee benefits, $23,000 in foreclosed property expenses and $58,000 in other miscellaneous expenses were partially off set by increases of $120,000 in professional and outside services primarily due to revenue enhancement consulting fees and $90,000 in data processing fees.

Balance Sheet Review

Assets. Total assets increased $670,000, or 0.1%, to $783.5 million at March 31, 2016 from $782.9 million at December 31, 2015. Cash and cash equivalents increased $3.7 million, or 11.0%, to $37.1 million at March 31, 2016 from $33.4 million at December 31, 2015. Investment securities decreased $19.0 million, or 13.4%, to $122.4 million at March 31, 2016 from $141.4 million at December 31, 2015, primarily due to the sale of investment securities to fund loan growth. Loans receivable, net of deferred fees, increased $19.7 million, or 3.4%, to $595.8 million at March 31, 2016 from $576.1 million at December 31, 2015 as new loan originations, primarily commercial real estate loan originations, exceeded loan repayments, prepayments and foreclosures.

Liabilities. Total deposits decreased $2.5 million, or 0.4%, to $628.4 million at March 31, 2016 from $630.9 million at December 31, 2015. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we continued our focus on core deposit growth, from which we exclude certificates of deposit. Core deposits increased $4.7 million, or 0.9%, to $500.3 million at March 31, 2016 from $495.6 million at December 31, 2015.

Commercial checking and money market accounts increased $6.0 million, or 4.1%, to $153.0 million at March 31, 2016 from $147.0 million at December 31, 2015, reflecting expanded sources of lower cost funding. Our efforts to obtain new commercial deposit relationships in conjunction with making new commercial loans significantly contributed to this increase and reflects our commitment to establishing diversified relationships with business clients.

Since December 31, 2015, certificates of deposit decreased $7.2 million, or 5.3%, to $128.1 million at March 31, 2016 from $135.3 million at December 31, 2015 as we continued our focus on core deposit growth. Accounts payable and other liabilities increased $405,000, or 3.4%, to $12.3 million at March 31, 2016 from $11.9 million at December 31, 2015. The increase in accounts payable and other liabilities at March 31, 2016 was primarily attributable to increases in escrowed payments from mortgage borrowers and pension plan liabilities, that were partially offset by a decrease in payroll accruals.

Asset Quality

Provision for Loan Losses. We recorded a provision for loan losses in the amount of $399,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $194,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The Company charged off $8,000 in loans for the first quarter of 2016 compared to $252,000 for the first quarter of 2015. The increase in the three-month provision for loan losses was primarily due to the provision of a specific reserve on a loan determined to be impaired late in the first quarter of 2016.

Nonperforming Assets. Nonperforming assets totaled $8.0 million, or 1.02% of total assets, at March 31, 2016 compared to $8.2 million, or 1.05% of total assets, at December 31, 2015. Nonperforming assets included $2.4 million in nonperforming loans and $5.6 million in foreclosed real estate at March 31, 2016 compared to $2.5 million and $5.6 million, respectively, at December 31, 2015.

Nonperforming loans decreased $186,000 to $2.4 million, or 0.40% of total loans, at March 31, 2016 from $2.5 million, or 0.44% of total loans, at December 31, 2015. Commercial mortgage and industrial nonperforming loans decreased $436,000 for the three months of 2016 and residential and revolving mortgage nonperforming loans decreased $128,000 for the same period. The decreases were partially offset by an increase of $378,000 in additional non-commercial construction and land development nonperforming loans. Performing troubled debt restructurings ("TDRs") decreased $39,000, or 0.9%, when comparing the same periods. Total performing TDRs and nonperforming assets decreased $274,000, or 2.1%, to $12.5 million, or 1.59% of total assets, at March 31, 2016 compared to $12.7 million, or 1.63% of total assets, at December 31, 2015.

At March 31, 2016, nonperforming loans included three residential mortgage loans that totaled $1.2 million, two commercial mortgage loans that totaled $395,000, one commercial construction loan in the amount of $378,000, four commercial and industrial loans that totaled $214,000 and three revolving home equity loans that totaled $182,000. As of March 31, 2016, the nonperforming loans had specific reserves totaling $320,000. TDRs were $5.1 million at March 31, 2016 and $5.5 million at December 31, 2015. There were no additions to TDRs during the three months ended March 31, 2016. At March 31, 2016, $547,000 of the $5.1 million of TDRs were not performing.

Foreclosed real estate at March 31, 2016 included six properties with a total recorded amount of $5.6 million compared to six properties with a total recorded amount of $5.6 million at December 31, 2015. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, no new properties were added to foreclosed real estate, while the Bank sold one of its residential lots in a mixed-use lot subdivision for net proceeds of $49,000. The Bank recorded no loss provisions on foreclosed real estate during the first three months of 2016, and there were no capital additions during the period.

The Bank's largest foreclosed property resulted from a loan relationship that had an original purpose of constructing a mixed-use retail, commercial office, and residential condominium project located in Western North Carolina. As a result of this foreclosure, the Bank acquired 44 of the 48 condominium units in the building. Following an additional write-down of approximately $630,000 on the loans secured by this collateral in the fourth quarter of 2012, the Bank recorded this foreclosed property in the amount of $9.8 million. During 2013, the Bank recorded additional write-downs totaling $1.6 million, which resulted in an adjusted recorded amount of $8.2 million at December 31, 2013. During 2014, the Bank recorded an additional write-down of $133,000 on the property and sold 28 residential condominium units and one office unit. During 2015, the Bank sold one retail unit and two office units. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Bank sold no units. As of March 31, 2016, the adjusted recorded amount was $4.0 million for the remaining seven retail units and five office units.

Other Developments

In April 2016, the Bank decided to settle its qualified pension plan liability effective July 1, 2016. The settlement is expected to be recognized in the fourth quarter of 2016 when participants receive annuities or lump sum payments of their accrued benefit balances. A preliminary estimate of the one-time settlement charge is in the range of $8.7 million to $9.5 million before income taxes, or $5.5 million to $6.0 million after income taxes, of which $8.0 million before income taxes, or $5.1 million after income taxes, was recognized as a reduction of tangible common shareholders' equity in the form of accumulated other comprehensive loss as of December 31, 2015. A preliminary estimate of the range of earnings per share dilution is $1.49 to $1.62 per share, while a preliminary estimate of the range of common equity book value dilution is $0.12 to $0.24 per share. For periods following the settlement in the fourth quarter of 2016, the Bank estimates annual periodic expense savings of approximately $810,000 before income taxes, or $513,000 after income taxes, or $0.14 per share.
