Central Valley Community Bancorp Reports Earnings Results for the Year and Quarter Ended December 31, 2014


FRESNO, CA--(Marketwired - Feb 13, 2015) - The Board of Directors of Central Valley Community Bancorp (Company) (NASDAQ: CVCY), the parent company of Central Valley Community Bank (Bank), reported today unaudited consolidated net income of $5,294,000, and diluted earnings per common share of $0.48 for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to $8,250,000 and $0.77 per diluted common share for the year ended December 31, 2013. Unless otherwise noted, material changes in year-over-year operating performance in dollar (rather than percentage) terms for the year ended December 31, 2014 were the result of the Visalia Community Bank (VCB) acquisition, which closed on July 1, 2013. 

Net income decreased 35.83%, primarily driven by an increase in provision for credit losses offset by an increase in net interest income in 2014 compared to 2013. During the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company recorded a provision for credit losses of approximately $8.4 million in connection with the partial charge-off of a single commercial and agricultural relationship. The total charge-off related to this credit was $7.7 million. The remaining loan balance of $10,226,000, which management believes is adequately secured by real estate and various business assets, was placed on non-accrual status during the fourth quarter of 2014, and resulted in the reversal of unpaid interest and fees of $224,000. After securing additional collateral from the borrower during the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company believes this reduced loan balance is reasonably collectible, although further credit deterioration is possible. Management of the Company continues to work to minimize any future charge-offs related to this credit.

Non-performing assets increased by $6,276,000, or 80.71%, to $14,052,000 at December 31, 2014, compared to $7,776,000 at December 31, 2013. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company's shareholders' equity increased $11,002,000, or 9.17%. The increase in shareholders' equity was driven by the retention of earnings net of dividends paid and improvement in unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI). 

During the year ended 2014, the Company's total assets increased 4.06%, and total liabilities increased 3.47% compared to December 31, 2013. The Company declared and paid $2,190,000 in cash dividends to holders of common stock during 2014 ($0.20 per share). Annualized return on average equity (ROE) for the year ended December 31, 2014 was 4.06%, compared to 6.89% for the year ended December 31, 2013. The decrease in ROE during the year 2014 reflects a decrease in net income, as well as an increase in capital from an increase in AOCI and an increase in retained earnings as previously discussed. Annualized return on average assets (ROA) was 0.46% and 0.84% for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The decrease in ROA is due to a decrease in net income.

During the year ended December 31, 2014 the Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $7,985,000. The Company did not record a provision during the year ended December 31, 2013. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company recorded $8,885,000 in net loan charge-offs, compared to $925,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013. The net charge-off ratio, which reflects net charge-offs to average loans, was 1.65% for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to 0.20% for the same period in 2013.

At December 31, 2014, the allowance for credit losses stood at $8,308,000, compared to $9,208,000 at December 31, 2013, a net decrease of $900,000 reflecting the net charge-offs, the majority of which related to nonaccrual commercial and agricultural loans charged off in the first and fourth quarters. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.45% at December 31, 2014, and 1.80% at December 31, 2013. Total loans includes VCB loans that were recorded at fair value in connection with the acquisition of $77,882,000 at December 31, 2014 and $99,948,000 at December 31, 2013. Excluding these VCB loans from the calculation, the allowance for credit losses to total gross loans was 1.68% and 2.23% as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively and general reserves associated with non-impaired loans to total non-impaired loans was 1.62% and 2.05%, respectively. The Company believes the allowance for credit losses is adequate to provide for probable incurred losses inherent within the loan portfolio at December 31, 2014.

Total non-performing assets were $14,052,000, or 1.18% of total assets as of December 31, 2014, compared to $7,776,000, or 0.68% of total assets as of December 31, 2013. Total non-performing assets as of December 31, 2013 were $8,146,000 or 0.75% of total assets. 

The following provides a reconciliation of the change in non-accrual loans for 2014.

The Company's net interest margin (fully tax equivalent basis) was 4.11% for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to 4.09% for the year ended December 31, 2013. The increase in net interest margin in the period-to-period comparison resulted primarily from an increase in the yield on the Company's investment portfolio and a decrease in the Company's cost of funds, offset by a decrease in the yield on the Company's loan portfolio. 

For the year ended December 31, 2014, the effective yield on total earning assets decreased 2 basis points to 4.22% compared to 4.24% for the year ended December 31, 2013, while the cost of total interest-bearing liabilities decreased 7 basis points to 0.17% compared to 0.24% for the year ended December 31, 2013. The cost of total deposits decreased 4 basis points to 0.11% for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to 0.15% for the year ended December 31, 2013. 

For the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company's average investment securities, including interest-earning deposits in other banks and Federal funds sold, increased by $68,007,000, or 15.25%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2013. 

The effective yield on average investment securities, including interest earning deposits in other banks and Federal funds sold, increased to 2.83% for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to 2.53% for the year ended December 31, 2013. The increase in yield in the Company's investment securities during 2014 resulted primarily from a decrease in the rate of prepayments on mortgage backed securities compared to 2013. Total average loans, which generally yield higher rates than investment securities, increased $85,046,000, from $454,483,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013 to $539,529,000 for the year ended December 31, 2014. The effective yield on average loans decreased to 5.53% for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to 5.96% for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Net interest income before the provision for credit losses for the year ended December 31, 2014 was $39,883,000, compared to $33,451,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013, an increase of $6,432,000 or 19.23%. Net interest income increased as a result of yield changes, asset mix changes, and an increase in average earning assets, partially offset by an increase in interest-bearing liabilities, primarily as a result of the VCB acquisition. Net interest income during the year ended 2014 was positively impacted by the collection of nonaccrual loans totaling $1,870,000 which resulted in a recovery of interest income of approximately $879,000. The recovery was partially offset by reversal of approximately $237,000 in interest income on loans put on nonaccrual during the year. Net interest income during 2013 was positively impacted by the collection of nonaccrual loans totaling $4,731,000 which resulted in a recovery of interest income of $1,484,000, partially offset by the reversal of approximately $49,000 in interest income associated with loans placed on nonaccrual status during the year.

Total average assets for the year ended December 31, 2014 were $1,157,483,000 compared to $986,924,000, for the year ended December 31, 2013, an increase of $170,559,000 or 17.28%. Total average loans increased $85,046,000, or 18.71% for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to the year ended December 31, 2013. Total average investments, including deposits in other banks and Federal funds sold, increased to $513,866,000 for the year ended December 31, 2014, from $445,859,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013, representing an increase of $68,007,000 or 15.25%. Total average deposits increased $158,067,000 or 18.63% to $1,006,560,000 for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to $848,493,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013. Average interest-bearing deposits increased $93,201,000, or 16.51%, and average non-interest bearing demand deposits increased $64,866,000, or 22.84%, for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to the year ended December 31, 2013. The Company's ratio of average non-interest bearing deposits to total deposits was 34.65% for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to 33.47% for the year ended December 31, 2013. 

Non-interest income for the year ended December 31, 2014 increased $333,000 to $8,164,000, compared to $7,831,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013, primarily driven by a $124,000 increase in service charge income, a $243,000 increase in interchange fees, a $150,000 increase in Federal Home Loan Bank dividends, and a $128,000 increase in other income, partially offset by a decrease of $361,000 in net realized gains on sales and calls of investment securities, and a $133,000 decrease in loan placement fees. 

Non-interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2014 increased $3,653,000, or 11.53%, to $35,338,000 compared to $31,685,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013. The net increase year over year was a result of increases in salaries and employee benefits of $2,294,000, increases in occupancy and equipment expenses of $726,000, increases in data processing expenses of $437,000, increases in Internet banking expenses of $123,000, increases in regulatory assessments of $66,000, increases in ATM/Debit card expenses of $97,000, increases in license and maintenance contracts of $16,000, increases in advertising fees of $113,000, and other non-interest expense increases of $757,000 offset by a decrease of $976,000 in acquisition and integration expenses and a decrease in consulting fees of $222,000. During the year ended December 31, 2014, other non-interest expenses included increases of $202,000 in net losses on disposal or writedown of premises and equipment, $66,000 in armored courier expenses, $157,000 in legal fees, $41,000 in appraisal fees, $36,000 in postage expenses, $32,000 in personnel expenses, $19,000 in donations, and $9,000 in stationery/supplies expenses, as compared to the same period in 2013.

The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $570,000 for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to an income tax expense of $1,347,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013. The effective tax (benefit) rate for the year ended December 31, 2014 was (12.07)% compared to 14.04% for the year ended December 31, 2013. The decrease in the effective tax rate during 2014 was primarily due to a significant increase in the proportion of nontaxable income, such as interest earned on municipal securities and earnings on Bank owned life insurance, to net income. 

Quarter Ended December 31, 2014

For the quarter ended December 31, 2014, the Company reported an unaudited consolidated net loss of $2,366,000 and diluted earnings (loss) per common share of $(0.22), compared to consolidated net income of $2,211,000 and $0.19 per diluted share for the same period in 2013. Net income for the immediately trailing quarter ended September 30, 2014 was $2,351,000, or $0.21 per diluted common share.

The decrease in net income during the fourth quarter of 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 was primarily driven by an increase in provision for credit losses, partially offset by an increase in net interest income. The Company recorded $8,385,000 in provision for credit losses during the fourth quarter of 2014 compared to no provision being recorded in the same period of 2013. 

Annualized return on average equity (ROE) for the fourth quarter of 2014 was (7.06)%, compared to 7.04% for the same period of 2013. The decrease in ROE reflects a decrease in net income, and an increase in capital from the retention of earnings, net of dividends paid, and improvement in unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI). Annualized return on average assets (ROA) was (0.80)% for the fourth quarter of 2014 compared to 0.79% for the same period in 2013. This decrease is due to a decrease in net income, along with an increase in average assets.

In comparing the fourth quarter of 2014 to the fourth quarter of 2013, average total loans increased by $55,524,000, or 10.89%. During the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company recorded $7,566,000 in net loan charge-offs compared to $524,000 for the same period in 2013. The net charge-off ratio, which reflects annualized net charge-offs (recoveries) to average loans, was 5.35% for the quarter ended December 31, 2014 compared to 0.41% for the quarter ended December 31, 2013.

For the quarter ended December 31, 2014, the Company's average investment securities, including interest-earning deposits in other banks and Federal funds sold, increased by $570,000, or 0.11%, compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2013 and increased by $3,621,000, or 0.71%, compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2014.

Total average assets for the quarter ended December 31, 2014 were $1,187,507,000 compared to $1,123,092,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2013 and $1,160,690,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, an increase of $64,415,000 and $26,817,000, or 5.74% and 2.31%, respectively.

Non-interest income increased $118,000, or 6.01%, to $2,083,000 for the fourth quarter of 2014 compared to $1,965,000 for the same period in 2013. The fourth quarter 2014 non-interest income included $331,000 in net realized gains on sales and calls of investment securities compared to $132,000 for the same period in 2013. For the quarter ended December 31, 2014, service charge income decreased $35,000 and interchange fee income decreased $3,000, compared to the same period in 2013. Loan placement fees decreased $27,000 during the fourth quarter of 2014, compared to the same period in 2013. Non-interest income for the quarter ended December 31, 2014 increased $22,000 to $2,083,000, compared to $2,061,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2014.

"While we were disappointed regarding the necessary loan loss provision in the fourth quarter, we remain optimistic as a result of the milestones the Company achieved this year. We are pleased with our loan and deposit growth which was driven by our continued focus on relationship banking. The Bank remains Well Capitalized by Regulatory definitions. Our balance sheet remains strong with significant liquidity available to support our long-term growth objectives. As the general economy continues to improve throughout the San Joaquin Valley, we believe the Company is well positioned to meet the needs of our communities, grow with our clients and reward our shareholders," stated James M.
