Sioux Falls, SD - January 26, 2017 - Great Western Bancorp, Inc. (NYSE: GWB) today reported net income of $36.9 million, or $0.63 per diluted share, for the first quarter of fiscal year 2017, compared to net income of $30.5 million, or $0.55 per diluted share, for the same quarter of fiscal year 2016. Between the two periods, income before income taxes increased by $6.5 million, or 13.9%, as total revenue (non-FTE)1 and noninterest expenses grew by 19.0% and 18.8%, respectively, partially offset by higher provision for loan and lease losses. The effective tax rate of 30.3% for the quarter was driven lower primarily by the favorable resolution of an income tax payable with the Company's former parent.
"We are pleased with the way we have started fiscal year 2017," said Ken Karels, President and Chief Executive Officer. "We have reason to be optimistic about potential favorable developments to our operating environment, but first and foremost we remain committed to managing what we can control, namely credit risk and delivering an outstanding efficiency ratio."
Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin2
Net interest income was $100.8 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2017, an increase of $13.0 million, or 14.8%, compared to the same quarter in fiscal year 2016. The increase was primarily attributable to higher loan interest income driven by 18.4% growth in average loans outstanding between periods, including both organic growth and inorganic growth related to the 2016 acquisition of HF Financial Corp., partially offset by an 8 basis point decrease in the yield on loans.
Net interest margin was 3.89%, 3.92% and 3.98%, respectively, for the quarters ended December 31, 2016, September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015. Adjusted net interest margin1, which adjusts for the realized gain (loss) on interest rate swaps, was 3.71%, 3.73% and 3.73%, respectively, for the same periods. Net interest margin and adjusted net interest margin1 were 9 basis points lower and 2 basis points lower, respectively, compared to the same quarter of fiscal year 2016. The decrease in net interest margin between the two periods was primarily driven by an 8 basis point decrease in the yield on total loans and a 3 basis point increase in the cost of deposits. A $1.2 million reduction in the current cost of interest rate swaps offset the decrease in yield on total loans, accounting for the smaller decrease in adjusted net interest margin1. On a sequential quarter basis, the impact to earning asset mix of a 45.0% increase in average interest bearing bank deposits was the primary driver of a 3 basis point reduction in net interest margin and a 2 basis point reduction in adjusted net interest margin1.
Balance Sheet
Total loans increased $96.5 million compared to September 30, 2016. Loan growth was impacted by a $63.5 million reduction to the fair value of the $1.08 billion segment of the loan portfolio carried at fair value resulting from changes in interest rates. Aside from this change, which was offset by the changes in the fair value of the related derivatives hedging the interest rate risk in this portfolio and which had no impact to net income, customer loan balances increased $159.9 million, or 1.8%. The majority of the loan growth during the quarter occurred within the commercial real estate ("CRE") segment of the loan portfolio.

Further information on this measure and a reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP measure is provided at the end of this release.
2 All references to net interest income and net interest margin are presented on a fully-tax equivalent basis unless otherwise noted.
1
Total deposits grew by $101.5 million, or 1.2%, during the quarter. Deposit growth was driven by $74.4 million of noninterest-bearing deposit growth and $27.1 million of interest-bearing deposit growth, which is net of continued outflows of time deposits.
Compared to the prior quarter-end, cash and cash equivalents decreased by $254.4 million, which was primarily utilized to fund a $160.0 million reduction in FHLB and other borrowings and a net increase of $54.2 million in investment securities.
Provision for Loan and Lease Losses and Asset Quality
Provision for loan and lease losses was $7.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2016, compared to $3.9 million in the same quarter of fiscal year 2016. Net charge-offs for the quarter were $4.9 million, or 0.22% of average total loans on an annualized basis. For the comparable period in fiscal year 2016, net charge-offs were negligible. The ratio of allowance for loan and lease losses ("ALLL") to total loans was 0.76% at December 31, 2016, an increase from 0.74% at September 30, 2016, due primarily to higher historical loss rates used in the ALLL estimate. The balance of the ALLL increased from $64.6 million to $66.8 million over the same period.
Included within total loans are approximately $1.08 billion of loans for which management has elected the fair value option. These loans are excluded from the ALLL process, but management has estimated that approximately $7.9 million of the fair value adjustment for these loans relates to credit risk, translating to an additional 0.09% of total loans. Finally, total purchase discount remaining on all acquired loans equates to 0.42% of total loans.
Key asset quality metrics have remained relatively stable compared to September 30, 2016. At December 31, 2016, loans graded "Watch" were $334.7 million, an increase of $7.1 million, or 2.2%, compared to September 30, 2016, and an increase of $36.1 million, or 12.1%, compared to December 31, 2015. Loans graded "Substandard" were $249.5 million, an increase of $7.9 million, or 3.3%, compared to September 30, 2016, and an increase of $19.6 million, or 8.5%, compared to December 31, 2015.
Nonaccrual loans were $124.2 million as of December 31, 2016, with $3.9 million of the balance covered by FDIC loss-sharing arrangements. Total nonaccrual loans decreased by $2.2 million during the quarter and increased by $69.8 million compared to same quarter in fiscal year 2016. The year-over-year increase was primarily driven by the deterioration of a small number of lending relationships during the June 2016 quarter. Total OREO balances were $8.1 million as of December 31, 2016, a decrease of $2.2 million, or 21.3%, compared to prior quarter and a decrease of $7.4 million, or 47.8%, compared to December 31, 2015.
The Company remains focused on proactively managing credit risk, especially in the Agriculture segment of the portfolio in light of commodity prices and recent lower overall profitability in the industry. In the grain sub-segment, annual renewals have been completed on many customers who have shown signs of financial stress. Management believes that accelerating maturity dates and the annual renewal process will support sound underwriting decisions for 2017 operating lines of credit, including discontinuing relationships with less successful borrowers. Some negative risk rating migration is expected, but substantial credit losses in excess of current ALLL levels are not expected. Meanwhile, beef and milk prices have each rallied since early-October lows, leading to improving near-term profitability outlooks for many producers in those industries.
Total credit-related charges increased compared to the previous quarter and the same quarter in fiscal year 2016. A summary of total credit-related charges incurred during the current, prior and comparable quarters is presented below:

Noninterest Income
Noninterest income was $13.9 million for the first quarter ended December 31, 2016, an increase of $5.3 million, or 60.9%, compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2016. The increase was primarily driven by a $1.6 million, or 15.5%, increase in service charges and other fees and a $1.4 million increase in mortgage banking income. Wealth management income also increased by $0.6 million, or 39.8%. Management estimates that the impact of recording higher debit card interchange income (i.e., "Durbin Amendment") was $2.4 million for the quarter. The higher allowable interchange rates are effective through June 30, 2017. This amount is included within service charges and other fees and was partially offset by a $0.7 million reduction in net overdraft and non-sufficient funds income.
Also included within noninterest income are the changes in fair value of certain loans for which the Company has elected the fair value option and the net gain (loss), realized and unrealized, of the related derivatives used to manage the interest rate risk on these loans. On a net basis, these two components of noninterest income accounted for an increase of $0.5 million compared to the same quarter of fiscal year 2016, comprised of a $1.2 million reduction in the current cost of interest rate swaps driven by changes in the interest rate environment and a $0.7 million unfavorable change to the loan fair value adjustment related to credit.
Noninterest Expense
Total noninterest expense was $52.5 million for the first fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2016, an increase of $8.3 million, or 18.8%, compared to the same quarter in fiscal year 2016. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in salaries and employee benefits of $6.3 million and an increase in the net loss on repossessed property and other related expenses (i.e., OREO) of $0.8 million. The increase in salaries and employee benefits was primarily driven by a 13% increase in full-time equivalent employees mostly related to the acquisition completed in 2016, higher incentive compensation due in large part to increases in wealth management and mortgage revenue and higher health insurance costs. The Company also incurred $0.7 million of trailing one-time acquisition costs which management excludes from adjusted net income1.
The efficiency ratio1 was 45.1% for the quarter, equal to the same quarter of fiscal year 2016 and down from 48.5% in the September 2016 quarter. The sequential decrease was primarily driven by an 8.4% decrease in noninterest expenses between the two periods, which included reductions in professional fees and acquisition expenses.
Provision for Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes for the first fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2016 was $16.1 million, reflecting an effective tax rate of 30.3% of income before income taxes. This compares to an effective tax rate of 34.5% for the first quarter of fiscal year 2016. The lower effective tax rate for the quarter was primarily driven by the favorable resolution of a $1.6 million income tax payable with the Company's former parent company.
Capital
Tier 1 and total capital ratios were 11.2% and 12.3%, respectively, as of December 31, 2016, compared to 11.1% and 12.2%, respectively, as of September 30, 2016. The common equity tier 1 capital ratio was 10.4% as of December 31, 2016 and 10.2% as of September 30, 2016. The tier 1 leverage ratio was 9.7% as of December 31, 2016 and 9.5% as of September 30, 2016. All regulatory capital ratios remain above regulatory minimums to be considered "well capitalized."
On January 26, 2017, the Company’s board of directors declared a dividend of $0.17 per common share payable on February 21, 2017 to stockholders of record as of close of business on February 10, 2017. The aggregate dividend payment will be approximately $10.0 million.
Business Outlook
"We were once again pleased with our overall result for the quarter and believe we are doing the right things to position GWB for continued growth and profitability," added Karels. "While many of our grain producing customers had better than expected growing seasons and financial outcomes in 2016, we know there continues to be strain across the agriculture sector and expect that we will see volatility across our agriculture loan portfolio for the next year or two as borrowers work through the effects of lower commodity prices. We remain committed to agriculture lending and will also focus on growing other parts of our portfolio to ensure we remain balanced and within our risk appetite."

Non-GAAP Measures and Reconciliation
We rely on certain non-GAAP measures in making financial and operational decisions about our business. We believe that each of the non-GAAP measures presented is helpful in highlighting trends in our business, financial condition and results of operations which might not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on our financial results calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP.
In particular, we evaluate our profitability and performance based on our adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per common share, tangible net income and return on average tangible common equity, each of which excludes the effects of amortization expense relating to intangible assets and related tax effects from the acquisition of us by National Australia Bank Limited and our
8
acquisitions of other institutions. We believe these measures help highlight trends associated with our financial condition and results of operations by providing net income and return information based on our cash payments and receipts during the applicable period.
We also evaluate our profitability and performance based on our adjusted net interest income, adjusted net interest margin, adjusted interest income on non ASC 310-30 loans and adjusted yield on non ASC 310-30 loans. We adjust each of these four measures to include the current realized gain (loss) of derivatives we use to manage interest rate risk on certain of our loans, which we believe economically offsets the interest income earned on the loans. Similarly, we evaluate our operational efficiency based on our efficiency ratio, which excludes the effect of amortization of core deposit and other intangibles (a non-cash expense item) and includes the tax benefit associated with our tax-advantaged loans.
We evaluate our financial condition based on the ratio of our tangible common equity to our tangible assets and the ratio of our tangible common equity to common shares outstanding. Our calculation of this ratio excludes the effect of our goodwill and other intangible assets. We believe this measure is helpful in highlighting the common equity component of our capital and because of its focus by federal bank regulators when reviewing the health and strength of financial institutions in recent years and when considering regulatory approvals for certain actions, including capital actions. We also believe the ratio of our tangible common equity to common shares outstanding is helpful in understanding our stockholders’ relative ownership position as we undertake various actions to issue and retire common shares outstanding.
Reconciliations for each of these non-GAAP financial measures to the closest GAAP financial measures are included in the tables below. Each of the non-GAAP measures presented should be considered in context with our GAAP financial results included in this release.
