BIRMINGHAM, Ala., July 24, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- National Commerce Corporation (Nasdaq:NCOM) (“NCC” or the “Company”), the parent company of National Bank of Commerce (“NBC”), today reported second quarter 2018 net income to common shareholders of $10.7 million, compared to $6.4 million for the second quarter of 2017. Diluted net earnings per share were $0.61 in the second quarter of 2018, compared to $0.52 in the first quarter of 2018 and $0.48 in the second quarter of 2017.
“We are pleased to report our second quarter results,” said Richard Murray, IV, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. “While we had good earnings performance, higher loan payoffs offset solid loan production during the quarter, resulting in lower overall loan growth. Our 4.8% annualized growth in average loans for the quarter is below our long-term expectation. However, we did have a good quarter of deposit growth. We also remain pleased with our asset quality.”
During the second quarter of 2018, the Company announced the execution of a definitive agreement to acquire Landmark Bancshares, Inc. (“Landmark”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, First Landmark Bank, headquartered in Marietta, Georgia. While all required regulatory approvals with respect to the transaction have been received, the transaction remains subject to the approval of Landmark’s shareholders and the satisfaction or waiver of certain other closing conditions. On July 1, 2018, the Company also successfully completed its previously announced acquisition of Premier Community Bank of Florida (“Premier”), headquartered in Bradenton, Florida. Because the acquisition of Premier occurred after the end of the quarter, the Company’s reported results for the second quarter do not include the results of operations of Premier.
Several important measures from the second quarter of 2018 are as follows:
- Net Interest Margin (taxable equivalent) of 4.77% for the second quarter of 2018, compared to 4.80% for the first quarter of 2018 and 4.34% for the second quarter of 2017. The second quarter 2018 margin decreased 0.03% compared to the first quarter of 2018. Loan yields during the second quarter of 2018 were higher due to an increase in interest rates during the second quarter of 2018. Excluding the impact of accretion from both periods, the 2018 second quarter margin would have been 4.50%, and the 2018 first quarter margin would have been 4.45%. The higher loan yields during the second quarter of 2018 compared to the 2018 first quarter were offset by an increase in the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities of 0.17%.
- Return on Average Assets (“ROAA”) of 1.36% for the second quarter of 2018, compared to 1.18% for the first quarter of 2018 and 1.06% for the second quarter of 2017.
- Return on Average Tangible Common Equity (“ROATCE”) of 12.73% for the second quarter of 2018, compared to 11.27% for the first quarter of 2018 and 11.49% for the second quarter of 2017.
- Second quarter 2018 loan growth (excluding mortgage loans held-for-sale) of $16.5 million. Excluding factored receivables in the Company’s factoring subsidiary, Corporate Billing, LLC, second quarter 2018 loan growth was approximately $11.3 million.
- Deposits increased $92.2 million during the second quarter of 2018.
- $149.6 million in 2018 second quarter mortgage production, compared to $114.9 million during the first quarter of 2018 and $133.1 million during the second quarter of 2017.
- $309.5 million in 2018 second quarter purchased volume in the factoring division, compared to $283.0 million for the first quarter of 2018 and $251.0 million for the second quarter of 2017.
- Non-acquired non-performing assets of $1.0 million at June 30, 2018, a decrease from $1.1 million at March 31, 2018 and $1.2 million at June 30, 2017.
- Annualized net charge-offs of 0.11% of average loans outstanding for the second quarter of 2018, compared to net charge-offs of 0.08% for the first quarter of 2018 and 0.07% for the second quarter of 2017.
- Provision for loan losses of $856 thousand for the second quarter of 2018, compared to $1.3 million for the first quarter of 2018 and $1.2 million for the second quarter of 2017.
- Ending tangible book value per share of $19.86.
- Ending book value per share of $29.97.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Some of the financial measures presented in this press release and included in the accompanying unaudited financial statements are not measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). These non-GAAP financial measures include tangible common equity, return on average tangible common equity, tangible book value per share, efficiency ratio and operating efficiency ratio. The Company’s management uses the non-GAAP financial measures set forth below in its analysis of the Company’s performance.
- “Tangible common equity” is defined as total shareholders’ equity less goodwill, other intangible assets and minority interest not included in intangible assets.
- “Average tangible common equity” is defined as the average of tangible common equity for the applicable period.
- “Return on average tangible common equity,” or ROATCE, is defined as net income available to common shareholders divided by average tangible common equity.
- “Tangible book value per share” is defined as tangible common equity divided by total common shares outstanding. This measure is important to investors interested in changes from period to period in book value per share, exclusive of changes in intangible assets.
The Company’s management believes that these measures, each of which utilizes the concept of tangible common equity rather than total common equity, provide useful information to management and investors because they eliminate the impact of goodwill and other intangible assets created in an acquisition. These measures are commonly used by investors when assessing financial institutions.
- “Efficiency ratio” is defined as noninterest expense divided by operating revenue (which is equal to net interest income plus noninterest income), excluding one-time gains and losses on sales of securities. This measure is important to investors looking for a measure of efficiency in productivity based on the amount of revenue generated for each dollar spent.
- “Operating efficiency ratio” is defined as noninterest expense divided by operating revenue, excluding one-time gains and losses on sales of securities and one-time gains and expenses related to merger and acquisition activities. This measure is important to investors looking for a measure of efficiency in productivity based on the amount of revenue generated for each dollar spent.
The Company’s management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to management and investors that is supplementary to the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows computed in accordance with GAAP; however, the Company acknowledges that the non-GAAP financial measures have a number of limitations. As such, the Company cautions readers that these disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP, and that these disclosures are not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP financial measures that other companies use. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude various items detailed in the attached “Non-GAAP Reconciliation.”
