Material changes and management commentary

  • Q2 net income fell 29.0% year over year; six-month net income fell 18.6%. Management attributed the decline principally to higher loan-loss provision and lower loan yields in a competitive, low-rate environment.
  • Provision for loan losses was $2.25 million in Q2 and $2.77 million for six months, up 93.7% and 47.9%, respectively, year over year. A $1.7 million charge-off on an accounts-receivable line of credit was the main driver. Six-month net charge-offs were $2.0 million versus $1.7 million.
  • Interest expense declined 26.9% in Q2 and 24.4% for six months, reflecting lower market rates and changes in deposit mix. This partly offset lower interest income, which declined 3.4% in both comparison periods.
  • Noninterest income rose 15.6% in Q2 and 10.5% for six months, mainly from higher securities-sale gains; six-month mortgage-loan sale gains also increased. The Q2 securities-sale gain was $428,000.
  • Noninterest expense was nearly flat in Q2, down 0.4%, but rose 2.9% for six months. Higher compensation and Louisiana shares taxes contributed to the six-month increase. Q2 expenses included $169,000 in penalties associated with prepaying long-term FHLB advances.
  • Loans increased 0.4% from year-end. Commercial and industrial loans rose $9.1 million, while covered loans declined $18.4 million, mainly due to principal repayments. Core deposits grew 6.8% to $553.8 million, while certificates of deposit fell $29.6 million.
  • Available-for-sale securities declined in fair value, with the portfolio’s net unrealized gain decreasing to $1.4 million from $4.9 million at year-end, primarily reflecting higher long-term interest rates. Six-month other comprehensive loss was $2.34 million after tax.
  • The company repurchased 303,136 shares in the first half for $5.47 million. Shareholders’ equity declined 2.4%, primarily due to repurchases and the reduction in accumulated other comprehensive income.

Credit quality, liquidity, and risks

  • The allowance for loan losses was $6.09 million, or 0.90% of total loans, versus 0.79% at year-end; excluding acquired loans, the ratio was 1.08%. Nonperforming assets were $27.5 million, or 2.83% of assets, compared with $28.4 million, or 2.95%, at year-end. Nonperforming loans excluding acquired assets increased to $23.9 million from $21.9 million.
  • Management reported no loans more than 90 days past due and accruing, excluding acquired loans with deteriorated credit quality. Nonaccrual loans, including acquired loans, rose to $23.9 million from $21.9 million. The filing notes that allowance estimates depend on management judgment and future conditions may require additional provisions.
  • Liquidity included $52.0 million in cash and $150.4 million in available-for-sale securities. Certificates of deposit totaling $155.5 million mature within 12 months; management expects a significant portion to renew. The company reported $312.4 million of additional FHLB borrowing capacity.
  • Bank regulatory capital was well above stated minimums: Tier 1 risk-based capital was 21.18%, total risk-based capital 22.14%, and Tier 1 leverage capital 13.85%.
  • Outstanding off-balance-sheet commitments included $61.1 million of available lines of credit, $86.0 million of undisbursed loans in process, $60.2 million of commitments to originate loans, and $2.5 million of standby letters of credit.
  • Management described ordinary-course claims and litigation as not expected to materially affect financial condition or results. No material change to previously disclosed risk factors was reported. Interest-rate modeling estimated projected net interest income changes of -0.1% for a 300-basis-point increase, +0.3% for 200 basis points, and +0.4% for 100 basis points; actual effects may differ.
  • No specific earnings or business guidance was provided. Management cautioned that interim results are not necessarily indicative of full-year results. The filing reported effective disclosure controls and no material second-quarter change in internal control over financial reporting.

Important facts for investors to verify

  • Whether the $1.7 million accounts-receivable charge-off signals further credit deterioration, and how subsequent asset-quality trends affect provisions and charge-offs.
  • The composition and performance of nonaccrual and acquired loans, including the FDIC loss-sharing coverage and the related receivable.
  • Whether core-deposit growth persists and how the $155.5 million of certificates of deposit maturing within 12 months is funded or renewed.
  • The effect of rising interest rates on securities fair values, accumulated other comprehensive income, and net interest income; review the assumptions behind the sensitivity analysis.
  • The impact of continued share repurchases, FHLB borrowing levels, and remaining repurchase authorization on capital and liquidity.
