VIRGINIA BEACH, Va., July 26, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Gateway Financial Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq:GBTS), the holding company for Gateway Bank & Trust Co., reported net income for the second quarter of 2007 of $2.0 million compared with $864,000 for the prior year second quarter, an increase of $1.2 million. The results of operations for both the second quarter and first half of 2007 include those of The Bank of Richmond from the date of the acquisition. Earnings performance was driven by exceptional revenue growth from a 58.9% increase in loans over the past 12 months resulting from the Company's expanding network of financial centers and the recently completed acquisition of The Bank of Richmond, and increased revenues from Gateway's non-banking activities. Effective June 1, Gateway Bank & Trust Co. completed its acquisition of The Bank of Richmond, through which Gateway acquired $197.3 million of assets, including $167.4 million of loans and $177.6 million of deposits. Diluted earnings per share were $0.17 for the second quarter of 2007 compared with $0.08 for the second quarter of the prior year. Per share results reflect the issuance of approximately 1.85 million shares and the assumption of approximately 375,000 stock options on June 1, 2007 for the acquisition of The Bank of Richmond, which was the primary reason for the increase in the weighted average diluted shares from 11,131,691 shares for the second quarter of 2006 to 11,950,358 shares for the second quarter of 2007, an increase of 7.4%. The second quarter results in both years were negatively affected by a loss on the market value and net cash settlement on its economic hedge of $948,000 and $1.2 million in 2007 and 2006, respectively. The loss from the economic hedge has been reported as a component of non-interest income in accordance with GAAP. Diluted earnings per share, excluding the loss on the market value and net cash settlement on the economic hedge of $592,000 in the second quarter of 2007, and $749,000 in the second quarter of 2006 (net of income taxes using a 37.5% blended rate), were $0.22 and $0.14 per share, respectively, an increase of 57.1%. Due to the volatility and lack of earnings comparability caused by the economic hedge, management believes presentation of an adjusted, non-GAAP, diluted earnings per share provides useful information to investors.
For the first six months of 2007, the Company reported net income of $4.5 million, up $3.4 million, from the $1.09 million reported for the year-earlier six-month period. Diluted earnings per share were $0.39 for the 2007 six-month period compared with $0.10 last year. Year-to-date per share results also reflect the stock issuance for The Bank of Richmond acquisition, which was the primary reason for the increase in average diluted shares outstanding for the first six months of 2007 of 4.4%, from 11,124,709 shares for the first six months of 2006 to 11,619,485 for the current six-month period. These results were also negatively affected by a market value loss and net cash settlement of $759,000 and $3.01 million for the first six-months in 2007 and 2006, respectively. Diluted earnings per share, excluding the loss on the market value and net cash settlement on economic hedge of $474,000 in the first six months of 2007, and $1.9 million in the first six months of 2006 (net of income taxes using a 37.5% blended rate), were $0.43 and $0.27 per share, respectively, an increase of 59.3%. Due to the volatility and lack of earnings comparability caused by the economic hedge, management believes presentation of an adjusted, non-GAAP, diluted earnings per share provides useful information to investors.
Commenting on these results, D. Ben Berry, Chairman, President and CEO of Gateway Financial Holdings, stated, "We are very pleased to report another quarter of outstanding earnings, coupled with exceptional growth, while maintaining the same impeccable asset quality that is a hallmark of Gateway's performance. We are extremely excited to have completed our acquisition of The Bank of Richmond as we continue to execute our strategy of attracting the best bankers, entering markets with superior growth potential, and strategically expanding our franchise. As a result of this strategic growth, and expansion of our non-banking activities, we have grown our revenues 39.8% over the past 12 months, while controlling non-interest expenses, which grew only 21.7% year-over-year. We are achieving the economies on our bottom line that we envisioned from the significant expansion we have undertaken over the past few years. The accounting for the economic hedge has resulted in volatile earnings from quarter to quarter but it has not obscured the enormous progress we have made this year."
ROAA was 0.55% for the second quarter and 0.68% for the first six months of 2007 compared with 0.37% and 0.22% for the second quarter and six-month period of the prior year, respectively. ROAA, excluding the net economic hedge losses of $592,000 in the second quarter and $474,000 for the first six months of 2007 (net of income taxes using a 37.5% blended rate), was 0.72% and 0.75%, respectively, as compared with 0.63% and 0.61% for the second quarter and six-month periods of 2006, respectively, excluding the loss on the market value and net cash settlement on economic hedge of $749,000 in the second quarter of 2006, and $1.9 million for the prior year six-month period (net of income taxes using a 37.5% blended rate). ROAE, excluding the impact of the aforementioned economic hedge, was 9.02% and 8.78%, for the second quarter and first six months of 2007, respectively, as compared with 6.29% and 5.86% for the same periods of 2006. Due to the volatility and lack of earnings comparability caused by the economic hedge, management believes presentation of an adjusted, non-GAAP, ROAA and ROAE provides useful information to investors.
Revenues and Net Interest Margin
Total revenue, defined as net interest income and non-interest income, was $14.8 million for the second quarter of 2007, an increase of 39.8% above the $10.6 million reported for the second quarter of 2006. Net interest income for the second quarter of 2007 was $11.7 million, a $2.4 million or 25.7% increase over the $9.3 million reported for the second quarter of 2006. The increase is attributable to a 41.8% increase in average earning assets to $1.3 billion for the 2007 period from $947 million for the 2006 period. This increase was driven by a 44.7% increase in average loans to $1.2 billion for the 2007 second quarter from $823 million for the 2006 second quarter.
Total revenue (excluding the loss and net cash settlement on economic hedge of $759,000) was $30.3 million for the first six months of 2007, an increase of $7.4 million or 32.4% from the $22.9 million reported for the first six months of 2006. Due to the volatility and lack of earnings comparability caused by the economic hedge, management believes presentation of an adjusted, non-GAAP, total revenue provides useful information to investors. Net interest income was $21.7 million for the first six months of 2007, a $4.2 million or 24.0% increase over the $17.5 million reported for the first six-month period of 2006. The increase is attributable to a 37.7% increase in average earning assets, driven by the $336 million or 43.6% increase in average loans to $1.1 billion for the 2007 six month period from $771 million for the 2006 six month period.
The increase in net interest income resulting from the increased volume was partially offset by a decrease in net interest margin of 44 basis points year-over-year to 3.50%. The margin compression resulted from the impact of higher interest rates on Gateway's cost of funds, exacerbated by the flat to inverted yield curve environment. Short-term rates have remained high and US Treasury rates have increased during the second quarter, resulting in increased pricing on some deposit products and higher re-pricing of maturing deposits; as well as having to replace callable Federal Home Loan Bank advances at higher rates during the second quarter of 2007. During this time period variable rate loans have not re-priced since June 29, 2006, when the Federal Reserve Board last increased short term rates. Additionally, competition has increased for the origination of high quality loans, resulting in more aggressive pricing during the first half of this year. On a linked quarter basis, the net interest margin decreased by 12 basis points.
Non-interest income for the second quarter of 2007 was $3.1 million, an increase of $1.8 million or 140% above the prior year second quarter. Excluding the effect of the aforementioned gain and loss and net cash settlement on the economic hedge for both quarters, proforma non-interest income increased $1.6 million or 63% year-over-year to $4.1 million in the second quarter of 2007 from $2.5 million in the prior year second quarter. Non-interest income was $7.8 million for the first six months of 2007, an increase of $5.5 million or 236% above the prior year six-month period. Excluding the effect of the aforementioned gain and loss and net cash settlement on the economic hedge for both six-month periods, proforma non-interest income increased $3.2 million or 60.1% year-over-year to $8.5 million for the first six months of 2007 from $5.3 million for the 2006 six month period. Due to the volatility and lack of comparability caused by the economic hedge, management believes presentation of an adjusted, non-GAAP, non-interest income provides useful information to investors. The increase was primarily related to Gateway's non-banking activities. Revenue from Gateway's insurance operations increased $808,000 or 114% to $1.5 million for the quarter, and $1.4 million or 95.7% to $2.8 million for the first six months of 2007. This increase resulted from internal growth from cross-selling customers and building our customer base in our markets as our franchise has expanded, and higher performance bonuses received in the first quarter of 2007 related to 2006; as well as the two acquisitions of Virginia agencies in the fourth quarter of 2006, and the title insurance company during the first quarter of 2007. Gateway Financial Mortgage commenced operations during the second quarter of 2006. As a result of having a full quarter and six months of operations in 2007, revenue from the mortgage operation increased $453,000 or 162% for the quarter to $733,000, and $1.2 million or 268% for the first six months of 2007 to $1.7 million. Additionally, Gateway had $108,000 higher income from BOLI during the second quarter of 2007, and $200,000 higher income for the first six months of 2007 as compared with the same periods of 2006 primarily as a result of $7 million of additional BOLI purchased during the third quarter of 2006.
Gateway has continuously sought to introduce new products and services in order to better service its customers as well as enhance the overall diversification of its revenue and decrease the reliance on spread income. As a result of this effort, non-interest income as a percentage of total revenues (defined as net interest income plus non-interest income) was 26% for the first six months of 2007 as compared with 12% for the same 2006 period. For the second quarter of 2007, non-interest income comprised 21% of total revenues as compared with 12% for the second quarter of 2006. Excluding the impact of the loss and net cash settlement on the economic hedge, non-interest income as a percent of total revenue was 28% for the six months ended June 30, 2007, up from 23% reported in the corresponding period in 2006. For the quarter ended June 30, 2007 non-interest income was 26% of total revenues compared with 21% reported for the same period in 2006. Due to the volatility and lack of comparability caused by the economic hedge, management believes presentation of an adjusted, non-GAAP, non-interest income as a percent of total revenues provides useful information to investors.
Non-Interest Expenses
Non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2007 was $10.4 million, up $1.9 million, or 21.7% from the $8.6 million reported in the prior year second quarter; and was $19.9 million for the first six months of 2007, up $3.5 million or 21.6% from the $16.4 million reported for the same period in 2006. These increased expenses reflect Gateway's significant infrastructure expansion throughout 2006, increased FDIC insurance charges, and The Bank of Richmond acquisition which added $330,000 in non-interest expenses during the quarter. Salaries and benefits increased 35.3% or $1.5 million to $5.7 million during the second quarter of 2007, and occupancy and equipment costs rose 17% or $292,000 to $2.0 million for the 2007 second quarter, almost all of which was related to expansion activities and The Bank of Richmond acquisition. FTE's have increased from 299 at the end of the second quarter of 2006 to 422 at the end of the second quarter of 2007, including 50 related to The Bank of Richmond. Data processing costs remained flat as compared with the prior year, reflecting a re-negotiation of data processing contracts which offset much of the cost of increased volume associated with the franchise expansion. Other expenses increased slightly ($72,000 or 3.3%) in the second quarter of 2007 as compared with the second quarter of last year. The increase was related to approximately $150,000 in higher FDIC insurance premiums (the FDIC increased its insurance premiums significantly effective the beginning of 2007), offset by lower promotional, professional and consulting expenses. This decrease was primarily the result of the discontinuation of the Haberfeld High Performance checking account program at the end of 2006.
Gateway's efficiency ratio was 70.26% for the second quarter of 2007, down from the 79.99% for the second quarter of 2006. However, the efficiency ratio was negatively affected in both quarters by the loss and net cash settlement on the economic hedge which is reported as a reduction of non-interest income. Excluding the impact of the loss and net cash settlement on the economic hedge of $948,000 and $1.2 million for the second quarter of 2007 and 2006, respectively, the efficiency ratio would have been 66.04% for the second quarter of 2007, as compared with 71.87% for the second quarter of 2006. Due to the volatility and lack of comparability caused by the economic hedge, management believes presentation of an adjusted, non-GAAP, proforma efficiency ratio provides useful information to investors. As a percentage of average assets, non-interest expense has dropped from 3.35% in the second quarter of 2006 to 2.86% for the second quarter of 2007.
For the first six months of 2007, salaries and benefits increased $3.0 million or 38.4% to $11 million and occupancy and equipment expenses increased $560,000 or 17.2% to $3.8 million reflecting the franchise expansion and the acquisition of The Bank of Richmond. For the first six months of 2007, other expenses decreased by $86,000 as compared with the first six months of 2006, primarily related to the lower promotional, professional and consulting expenses which in the aggregate were $900,000 (of which $452,000 was related to Haberfeld) lower than the prior year. These lower expenses have been offset by $200,000 higher insurance expenses, $205,000 higher franchise tax costs, and higher amortization and other miscellaneous expenses.
Loan and Asset Growth
At June 30, 2007, total assets were $1.75 billion, an increase of $687 million, or 64.7%, above the $1.06 billion reported twelve months ago reflecting growth in the franchise as well as the acquisition of The Bank of Richmond. This increase was primarily related to loans which increased $502 million, or 58.9%, to $1.35 billion. For the quarter, loans grew $270.5 million or 25%. Of this increase, $167.4 million was related to loans acquired upon the acquisition of The Bank of Richmond.
Commenting on this growth, Mr. Berry emphasized, "Our results are reflective of the continued vibrancy of the markets we serve, the knowledge, expertise and performance of our lenders who serve them, and the strategic investments we have made in building a solid regional footprint. The Bank of Richmond acquisition adds to this significant market experience, and has provided Gateway with a meaningful presence in the demographically attractive Richmond market. These key elements are fundamental to our strategy, as we continue to gain market share from major national competitors. Our loan growth over the past 12 months is wide-spread over this geographic footprint. The local economies in these market areas continue to experience robust growth. Examples would include the population growth in the Raleigh-Cary MSA, Virginia Beach MSA and Wilmington MSA are projected to be 17.6%, 5.3% and 15.7%, respectively, over the next five years."(Source: ESRI)
Construction loans represented 31.1% of this growth over the last 12 months, up $156.1 million to $319 million at June 30, 2007, and commercial real estate loans grew $240.4 million or 47.9% of the growth since the second quarter of last year to $550 million at June 30, 2007. Additionally, commercial and industrial loans increased by $124.9 million to $238.5 million, representing 24.9% of the growth over the past year. At June 30, 2007, commercial loans (CRE, construction and C&I) totaled $1.1 billion, or 81.9% of the loan portfolio.
Mr. Berry continued, "Although we have a higher concentration of construction and real estate loans, our Chief Credit and Risk Officers have over 30 years of experience of underwriting loans of this type in the markets we serve, giving us a high comfort level with our real estate loan concentration. We continually monitor risk within the construction and commercial real estate loan portfolio by analyzing its portfolio concentration characteristics, such as exposures within the different loan types, the amount of speculative loans, and the amount of owner-occupied loans compared to non-owner occupied loans. Additionally, we have insurance to cover LTV exceptions on lot loans which reduces our risk."
Asset Quality
Asset quality remains outstanding. Non-performing loans declined to $874,000 at June 30, 2007 from $1.6 million at March 31, 2007. Non-performing loans equaled 0.06% of loans at June 30, 2007, declining from 0.14% of loans at March 31, 2007. Other real estate and repossessed assets equaled $350,000 at June 30, 2007. For the quarter, net loan charges-offs were $321,000 or 0.11% of average loans, down from $416,000 or 0.16% of average loans in 2007 first quarter. At June 30, 2007, the allowance for loan losses was $13.3 million, or .99% of total loans (excluding loans held for sale), up from $10.2 million or 0.95% of total loans at March 31, 2007.
Mr. Berry added, "Asset quality remains a top priority at Gateway. In addition to operating in markets with robust economies, as part of our strategic planning process, we seek out prime locations and identify and hire outstanding bankers and lenders. They are experienced in each market they serve, and astute and highly skilled business people, whose client base has proven to be exceptionally loyal. I have said many times -- we will compete on interest rates on loans, but we will not sacrifice credit quality; and our asset quality numbers support this strategy. I would like to also reiterate that we have essentially no sub-prime or Alt-A mortgage loans. Our asset quality remains outstanding, both for a bank over $1 billion in assets and relative to our peer group."
Deposit Growth and Borrowings
Deposits rose $574.8 million, or 68.7%, over the past twelve months to $1.41 billion. For the quarter, deposits increased $436.1 million or 44.7%, of which $177.6 million were deposits acquired upon the acquisition of The Bank of Richmond. Core deposits (including retail CDs) were up $291.4 million (48.1%) to $897.4 million, and jumbo CDs were up $116.4 million (71.7%) over the past 12 months to $278.6 million at June 30, 2007. Of these increases, $123 million of core deposits and $54.6 million of jumbo CDs were acquired upon the acquisition of The Bank of Richmond. Brokered deposits, primarily used to fund loan growth in the loan production offices and the Raleigh private banking center, grew $159.4 million over the past 12 months to $235.3 million at June 30, 2007. Loans from the loan production offices aggregated $134.2 million at June 30, 2007, an increase of $79.3 over the past 12 months; and loans from the Raleigh private banking center were $172.7 million at June 30, 2007, an increase of $114.3 million since June 30 of the prior year. With the opening of the second financial center in Raleigh at the end of June, and the planned opening of the first financial center in Wilmington in the fourth quarter, it should reduce the reliance on brokered CDs to fund loans in these areas. Core deposits comprised 63.6% of total deposits at June 30, 2007, jumbo CDs were 19.7%, and brokered CDs were 16.7%. Borrowings, including junior subordinated debentures, totaled $175.6 million at June 30, 2007, up $58.2 million from twelve months ago. The Company issued an additional $25 million of junior subordinated debentures (trust preferred securities) during the second quarter which was used to fund the cash portion of The Bank of Richmond acquisition. The remaining increase in borrowings was used to supplement deposits to fund loan growth and acquire investment securities over the past 12 months.
Stockholders' Equity
Stockholders' equity at June 30, 2007 totaled $139.6 million, an increase of $37.3 million, or 36.5%, from June 30, 2006. The increase was primarily related to the issuance of approximately 1.85 million shares of common stock to former Bank of Richmond shareholders as the common stock portion of the consideration. At June 30, 2007, Gateway had 12,819,581 shares outstanding; stockholders' equity equaled 7.98% of total assets, and the total risk-based capital ratio was 10.79%, in excess of the "well-capitalized" regulatory threshold.
Mr. Berry concluded, "We are pleased with our overall performance this quarter and the earnings we generated. Despite the negative effect of an inverted yield curve and margin compression, that are wide spread issues common to all financial institutions, we were still able to substantially increase our earnings during the second quarter over those of the prior year. We were especially pleased to have completed The Bank of Richmond acquisition, and are already seeing positive results as pre-tax operating earnings approximated $300,000 from their financial centers in June. With our expenses stabilizing, our revenues continuing to grow, and our maturing financial centers becoming increasingly profitable, we look forward to the second half of 2007 and 2008. Mr. Berry continued, "As we move into the second half of the year, we plan to open a full service financial center in Wilmington and an additional financial center in Raleigh to add to the one we opened at the end of June. Gateway's strategy continues to focus both on profit growth and franchise growth, as we continue to expand at an impressive rate, while maintaining exceptional asset quality and improving profitability."
