July 19, 2017

DALLAS, July 19, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Veritex Holdings, Inc. (“Veritex” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ:VBTX), the holding company for Veritex Community Bank, announced today the results for the quarter ended June 30, 2017. The Company reported net income of $3.6 million, or $0.23 diluted earnings per share (EPS), compared to $3.1 million, or $0.20 diluted EPS, for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 and $3.2 million, or $0.29 diluted EPS, for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. Compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2017, total loans increased $101.5 million to $1.1 billion representing a 39.8% annualized growth rate. Total assets and total deposits were unchanged with balances of $1.5 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively, as of June 30, 2017.

Malcolm Holland, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “I am excited to report a great quarter driven by record loan production exceeding $100 million. Our loan portfolio grew 10% compared to March 31, 2017, or an annualized growth rate of 40%. Our pipelines are solid and credit quality remains a core foundational focus of our bank. Our net interest margin for the quarter was up 32 basis points over the prior quarter as we deployed excess cash into loan fundings. In addition, our loan yield was up 10 basis points over the prior quarter as we push through interest rate floors to see the benefit from Federal Reserve rate increases.”

Mr. Holland continued, “We received final regulatory approval of our application to merge with Sovereign Bancorp, Inc. from the Federal Reserve on July 7, 2017 and we expect to close this transaction on or around August 1, 2017. Over the past several months we have worked diligently alongside a third party firm to organize the integration process on this transformational merger. Thanks to the hard work of both the Sovereign and Veritex teams, we will be prepared for conversion and integration in the third quarter of 2017. I look forward to officially welcoming Sovereign’s clients, shareholders, and employees as they join the Veritex family.”

Result of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2017

Net Interest Income

For the three months ended June 30, 2017, net interest income before provision for loan losses was $12.4 million and net interest margin was 3.53% compared to $11.3 million and 3.21%, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2017. Net interest income increased $1.1 million primarily due to an increase of $1.1 million in interest earned on total loans as average loans increased $62.8 million from March 31, 2017 to June 30, 2017. This increase was driven by success of our organic growth strategy during the three months ended June 30, 2017. The net interest margin increased 32 basis points from the three months ended March 31, 2017 primarily due to a change in mix of earning assets resulting from increases in loans, which tend to yield greater interest rates than other interest earning assets such as investment securities and interest bearing deposits in other banks, and decreases in interest-bearing deposits in other banks which traditionally provide lower average yields than other interest earning assets such as loans. Average loan balances represented 76.2% of average interest-earnings assets for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to 70.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2017. Average interest-bearing deposits in other banks decreased $96.6 million and represented 14.2% of average-interest earning assets for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to 20.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2017. In addition, the average yield on loan balances increased to 4.88% from 4.78%, investment securities increased to 2.17%, from 1.96% and interest-bearing deposits in other banks increased to 1.10% from 0.84% for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017. The increase in the average yields for these average interest earning assets is due to increases in the targeted Federal Funds rate and the resulting impact from increases in corresponding rates for these products.

Net interest income before provision for loan losses increased by $2.1 million from $10.2 million to $12.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the same period during 2016. The increase in net interest income before provision for loan losses was primarily due to $2.0 million in increased interest income on loans resulting from average loan balance increases of $156.3 million compared to June 30, 2016. The net interest margin declined to 3.53% during the three months ended June 30, 2017 from 3.90% for the same three-month period in 2016. The 37 basis point decrease in net interest margin was partially due to a change in mix of earning assets with increases in interest-bearing deposits in other banks to $199.1 million representing 14.2% of earning assets as of June 30, 2017 compared to interest-bearing deposits in other banks of $59.5 million representing 5.6% as of the same period in 2016. Interest-bearing deposits in other banks tend to bear lower interest rates than other earning assets such as loans and investment securities. The increase in interest-bearing deposits in other banks was primarily driven by proceeds of our public offering of common stock in December 2016 and increases in customer deposits. In addition, the average interest paid on deposits increased to 0.80% for the the three months ended June 30, 2017 from 0.68% for the same period in 2016. The 12 basis point increase was related to an increase in deposit balances related to premium priced financial institution money market accounts.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was $1.8 million, an increase of $231 thousand or 15.0% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017. The net increase was primarily from an increase in dividend income of $104 thousand as a result of bi-annual Federal Reserve Bank stock dividends received during the three months ended June 30, 2017, increased gain on sale of mortgage loans of $42 thousand and increased analysis charges and debit card fees of $46 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017.

Compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016, noninterest income for the three months ended June 30, 2017 grew $354 thousand or 25.1%. The increase was primarily a result of increased gains on sale of Small Business Administration loans of $285 thousand and increased debit card fees of $71 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense was $7.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, compared to $7.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, an increase of $332 thousand or 4.5%. The increase was primarily due to increased professional fees of $390 thousand which included legal services associated with strategic initiatives of $135 thousand, professional recruiting expenses of $112 thousand, and Sovereign merger related expenses of $41 thousand. Noninterest expense during the three months ended June 30, 2017 also increased compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017 due to an increase in Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) assessment fees of $135 thousand which were incurred as a result of a catch-up in prior period assessments, and growth in assets, a primary driver of these expenses. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in salaries and employee benefits of $266 thousand from an increase in the deferral of direct loan origination costs.

Compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016, noninterest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2017 increased $1.5 million, or 23.5%. The increase was primarily due to increased professional fees of $685 thousand for nonrecurring legal services associated with strategic initiatives and conversion planning for the Sovereign merger. Noninterest expense during the three months ended June 30, 2017 also increased compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016 due to an increase in FDIC assessment fees of $261 thousand which were incurred as a result of a catch-up in prior period assessments, and growth in assets, a primary driver of the expenses. Other noninterest expense also increased $281 thousand primarily due to an increase in dues and membership fees, insurance expense, and card transaction expense.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2017 totaled $1.8 million, an increase of $452 thousand, or 33.5%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017. The Company’s effective tax rate, before reporting the net impact of discrete items, was approximately 34.8% and 34.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and the three months ended March 31, 2017, respectively. The change in income tax expense from the three months ended March 31, 2017 was primarily due to the $970 thousand increase in net operating income and decrease in net discrete tax benefit from $172 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2017 to $83 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The net discrete tax benefit for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was primarily associated with the recognition of excess tax benefit realized on share-based payment awards. The Company’s effective tax rate, after including the net impact of discrete tax items, was approximately 33.3% and 30.4%, respectively for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and the three months ended March 31, 2017.

Compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016, income tax expense increased $163 thousand, or 9.9%, to $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The Company’s effective tax rate, before reporting the net impact of discrete items, was approximately 34.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to 34.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2016. There were no discrete tax items during the three months ended June 30, 2016. The change in income tax expense from the three months ended June 30, 2016 was primarily due to the increase in net operating income of $606 thousand offset by the impact of the net discrete tax benefit of $83 thousand during the three months ended June 30, 2017. The Company’s effective tax rate, after including the net impact of discrete tax items, was approximately 33.3% and 34.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Financial Condition

Loans (excluding loans held for sale and deferred loan fees) at June 30, 2017 were $1.1 billion, an increase of $101.5 million or 9.9% compared to $1.0 billion at March 31, 2017. The net increase from March 31, 2017 was primarily the result of the continued execution and success of our organic growth strategy.

Loans (excluding loans held for sale and deferred loan fees) at June 30, 2017 increased $194.5 million, or 21.0%, compared to $928.0 million at June 30, 2016. The growth over June 30, 2016 is due to the continued execution and success of our organic growth strategy.

Deposits at June 30, 2017 were $1.2 billion, a decrease of $10.6 million, or 0.9%, compared to March 31, 2017. The decrease from March 31, 2017 was primarily due to the maturity of $17.5 million in certificates of deposits and $5.0 million of wholesale deposits, a decrease in interest bearing checking of $3.8 million and a decrease in money market accounts of $3.2 million which was partially offset by an increase in savings accounts of $20.0 million.

Deposits increased $183.4 million, or 17.8%, compared to $1.0 billion at June 30, 2016. The increase from June 30, 2016 was primarily due to an increase in financial institution money market accounts of $105.0 million resulting from the launch of a correspondent banking group, organic growth in retail and business money market accounts of $60.3 million, growth in savings deposits of $102.0 million, and an increase of $4.1 million in interest bearing checking. This growth was partially offset by a decrease in wholesale deposits of $53.5 million, a decrease in CDs of $17.0 million and a decrease in non-interest bearing deposits of $17.5 million.

Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank were $38.2 million at June 30, 2017 compared to $38.3 million at March 31, 2017 and $38.4 million at June 30, 2016.

Asset Quality

The allowance for loan losses was 0.87%, 0.86%, and 0.85% of total loans at June 30, 2017, March 31, 2017, and June 30, 2016, respectively. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans over the three quarter periods was determined by the qualitative factors around the nature, volume and mix of the loan portfolio.

The provision for loan losses for the three months ended June 30, 2017 totaled $943 thousand compared to $890 thousand for three months ended March 31, 2017. The increase in provision for loan losses for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to March 31, 2017 was due to the general provision required from an increase in loan growth compared to the prior period. The increase of $416 thousand in provision for loan losses from June 30, 2016 to June 30, 2017 was due to the general provision required from an increase in loan growth compared to the same period in 2016.

Non-accrual loans were $1.5 million at June 30, 2017 compared to $1.7 million at March 31, 2017 and $1.0 million at June 30, 2016. At June 30, 2017 and March 31, 2017, non-accrual loans to our total loans held for investment was minimal at 0.13% and 0.17%, respectively.

Nonperforming assets totaled $2.0 million, or 0.13%, of total assets at June 30, 2017 compared to $2.9 million, or 0.19%, of total assets at March 31, 2017. Nonperforming assets were $7.2 million, or 0.59%, of total assets at June 30, 2016. The decrease of $874 thousand in nonperforming assets compared to March 31, 2017 was primarily due to decrease in other real estate owned of $505 thousand from the sale of a property in the period as well as a decrease of $369 thousand in nonperforming loans. The decrease of $5.2 million in nonperforming assets compared to June 30, 2016 was primarily related to the payoff of a single $5.4 million loan which was classified as an accruing loan 90 or more days past due as of June 30, 2016.

Total loans does not include loans held for sale and deferred fees. Loans held for sale were $4.1 million at June 30, 2017, $1.9 million at March 31, 2017, $5.2 million at December 31, 2016, $4.9 million at September 30, 2016 and $4.8 million at June 30, 2016. Deferred fees were $40 thousand at June 30, 2017, $48 thousand at March 31, 2017, $55 thousand at December 31, 2016, $51 thousand at September 30, 2016, and $52 thousand at June 30, 2016.
We calculate our average assets and average equity for a period by dividing the sum of our total assets or total stockholders’ equity, as the case may be, at the close of business on each day in the relevant period, by the number of days in the period. We have calculated our return on average assets and return on average equity for a period by dividing net income for that period by our average assets and average equity, as the case may be, for that period.
Net interest margin represents net interest income, annualized on a fully tax equivalent basis, divided by average interest-earning assets.
Efficiency ratio represents noninterest expense divided by the sum of net interest income and noninterest income.
We calculate tangible common equity as total stockholders’ equity less preferred stock, goodwill, core deposit intangibles and other intangible assets, net of accumulated amortization, and we calculate tangible assets as total assets less goodwill, and core deposit intangibles and other intangible assets, net of accumulated amortization. Tangible common equity to tangible assets is a non-GAAP financial measure, and, as we calculate tangible common equity to tangible assets, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is total stockholders’ equity to total assets. Our management believe that this measure is important to many investors in the market place who are interested in relative changes from period to period in common equity and total assets, each exclusive of changes in intangible assets. Goodwill and other intangible assets have the effect of increasing both total stockholders’ equity and assets while not increasing our tangible common equity or tangible assets. See our reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in the table captioned “Reconciliation GAAP —NON-GAAP–(Unaudited).”

___________________________

We calculate book value per common share as stockholders’ equity at the end of the relevant period divided by the outstanding number of shares of our common stock at the end of the relevant period.
We calculate tangible book value per common share as total tangible common equity, divided by the outstanding number of shares of our common stock at the end of the relevant period. Tangible book value per common share is a non-GAAP financial measure, and, as we calculate tangible book value per common share, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is book value per common share. Our management believes that this measure is important to many investors in the market place who are interested in changes from period to period on book value per common share exclusive of changes in intangible assets. Goodwill and other intangible assets have the effect of increasing total book value while not increasing our tangible book value.

___________________________

We calculate pre-tax, pre-provision income by adding the total provision for loan losses to net income from operations for the relevant period. Pre-tax pre-provision income is a non-GAAP financial measure and as we calculate pre-tax, pre-provision income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is net income. Our management believe that this measure is important to many investors in the market place who are interested in understanding our operating performance before provision for loan losses, which can vary from quarter to quarter, and income taxes.
