Result of Operations for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2019
 
Net Interest Income

For the three months ended December 31, 2019, net interest income before provision for loan losses was $69.9 million and net interest margin was 3.81% compared to $70.9 million and 3.90%, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The $1.0 million decrease in net interest income was primarily due to a $3.2 million decrease in interest income on loans driven by a decrease in loan yields and was partially offset by a $2.2 million decrease in interest expense on interest-bearing transaction and savings deposits. Net interest margin decreased 9 basis points from the three months ended September 30, 2019, primarily due to a 22 basis point decrease in yields earned on loan balances, exceeded by a 33 basis point decrease in the average rate paid on interest-bearing demand and savings deposits during the three months ended December 31, 2019. As a result, the average cost of interest-bearing deposits decreased to 1.59% for the three months ended December 31, 2019 from 1.79% for the three months ended September 30, 2019.
Net interest income before provision for loan losses increased by $41.2 million from $28.7 million to $69.9 million and net interest margin decreased 8 basis points from 3.89% to 3.81% for the three months ended December 31, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018. The increase in net interest income before provision for loan losses was primarily driven by higher loan balances and interest income resulting from loans acquired from Green Bancorp ("Green") in connection with Veritex's acquisition of Green in January 2019 and organic loan growth. For the three months ended December 31, 2019, average loan balances increased by $3.2 billion compared to the three months ended December 31, 2018, which resulted in a $45.8 million increase in interest income. Net interest margin decreased 8 basis points compared to the three months ended December 31, 2018 primarily due to a decrease in the average yield on interest-earning assets during the three months ended December 31, 2019. Average interest-bearing deposit accounts grew to $4.4 billion for the three months ended December 31, 2019 compared to $2.0 billion for the three months ended December 31, 2018, primarily due to the acquisition of Green. The average cost of interest-bearing deposits decreased to 1.59% for the three months ended December 31, 2019 from 1.75% for the three months ended December 31, 2018.

Noninterest Income
Noninterest income for the three months ended December 31, 2019 was $7.1 million, a decrease of $1.3 million, or 15.4% compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to a $438 thousand loss on sales of certain investment securities, a $331 thousand decrease in loan fees, and a $349 thousand decrease in the gain on sale of Small Business Administration ("SBA") loans for the three months ended December 31, 2019.
Compared to the three months ended December 31, 2018, noninterest income for the three months ended December 31, 2019 grew $3.5 million or 97.1%. The increase was primarily due to a $2.9 million increase in service charges and fees on acquired deposit accounts resulting from the acquisition of Green deposit accounts and the associated income from these accounts and a $1.5 million increase in loan fees, partially offset by a $1.3 million decrease in the gain on sale of SBA loans.

Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense was $36.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019, compared to $34.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, an increase of $1.7 million, or 4.8%. The increase was primarily driven by a $1.4 million increase in salaries and employee benefits in the three months ended December 31, 2019 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019.
Compared to the three months ended December 31, 2018, noninterest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2019 increased $18.7 million, or 106.9%. The increase was primarily driven by a $10.6 million increase in salaries and employee benefits due to the addition of new Green employees as a result of the merger, and a $1.9 million, $1.8 million and $1.0 million increase in amortization of intangibles, occupancy and equipment expenses, and data processing and software expenses, respectively, related to the acquisition of Green.

Financial Condition
Total loans were $5.9 billion at December 31, 2019, an increase of $37.0 million, or 2.51% annualized, compared to September 30, 2019 and $3.4 billion, or 132.14%, compared to December 31, 2018. The net increase was the result of Veritex's growth strategy and the acquisition of Green.
Total deposits were $5.9 billion at December 31, 2019, an increase of $16.5 million, or 0.3%, compared to September 30, 2019 and an increase of $3.3 billion, or 124.77%, compared to December 31, 2018. The increase from September 30, 2019 was primarily the result of an increase of $83.4 million in non-interest bearing demand deposits, which was offset by a decrease of $66.9 million in interest bearing accounts. The increase from December 31, 2018 was primarily the result of the acquisition of Green.

Asset Quality
Allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans was 0.50%, 0.45% and 0.75% of total loans held for investment at December 31, 2019, September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans for each of the three quarters ended was determined by an evaluation of the qualitative factors around the nature, volume and mix of the loan portfolio. The increase at December 31, 2019 in the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans from September 30, 2019 was primarily attributable to the general provision required from an increase of loans acquired from Green that were re-underwritten in the fourth quarter of 2019. Once an acquired loan undergoes new underwriting and meets the criteria for a new loan, the loan becomes fully subject to Veritex's allowance for loan loss methodology. The decrease in the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans held for investment from December 31, 2018 was attributable to the acquisition of Green, as acquired loans are recorded at fair value. Our allowance for loan losses and remaining purchase discount on acquired loans as a percentage of loans held for investment, including mortgage warehouse, was 1.31%, 1.44% and 1.23% of total loans at December 31, 2019, September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.
Veritex recorded a provision for loan losses of $3.5 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 compared to a provision of $9.7 million and $1.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, which reflects adjustments to provision for loan losses as a result of Veritex's continued organic growth and timing of charge-offs and recoveries recorded during the respective quarters. The decrease in the recorded provision for loan losses compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019 was primarily attributable to a $6.1 million charge-off during the third quarter of 2019 related to a commercial loan relationship acquired from Sovereign Bancshares, Inc. in 2017. The acquired commercial loan relationship consisted of a $7.8 million loan to an independent oil and gas exploration company that filed for bankruptcy protection in 2018 and recently entered into a sales process pursuant to Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code. The increase in the recorded provision for loan losses compared to the three months ended December 31, 2018 was primarily attributable to continued organic growth and loans acquired from Green that were re-underwritten in the fourth quarter of 2019.
Nonperforming assets totaled $39.4 million, or 0.50%, of total assets at December 31, 2019 compared to $17.0 million, or 0.21%, of total assets at September 30, 2019 and $24.7 million, or 0.77%, of total assets at December 31, 2018. The increase of $22.4 million compared to September 30, 2019 was primarily due to a $19.6 million increase in certain acquired non-purchased credit impaired loans that moved to nonaccrual status during the fourth quarter 2019 and a $2.9 million increase in other real estate owned. The $19.6 million increase in acquired nonaccrual loans due was primarily related to a single commercial loan relationship which required no provision for loan loss after it was individually analyzed for impairment.

Dividend Information
On January 28, 2020, Veritex's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.17 per share on its outstanding shares of common stock, payable on February 20, 2020, to stockholders of record as of February 6, 2020.

1 The Company historically reported in the "acquired nonaccrual loans" line item in the table above only acquired purchased credit impaired (“PCI”) loans that were deemed to be on nonaccrual status subsequent to the respective acquisition date. The Company has re-classified $3,158, $5,040 and $2,485 for the three months ended June 30, 2019, March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, and $2,485 for the year ended December 31, 2018, of acquired non-PCI loans deemed to be on nonaccrual status subsequent to acquisition date from the "originated nonaccrual" line item into the "acquired nonaccrual loans" line item. As a result, both acquired PCI loans and acquired non-PCI loans are reflected in the "acquired nonaccrual loans" line item in order to align with industry peers for comparability purposes.
2 Accruing loans greater than 90 days past due exclude PCI loans greater than 90 days past due.
3 Remaining PD on acquired loans includes non-accretable and accretable purchase discount on purchased performing and purchased credit impaired loans for each quarter presented in the table.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(Unaudited)

We identify certain financial measures discussed in this earnings release as being “non-GAAP financial measures.” In accordance with SEC rules, we classify a financial measure as being a non-GAAP financial measure if that financial measure excludes or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding or including amounts, that are included or excluded, as the case may be, in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as in effect from time to time in the United States (“GAAP”), in our statements of income, balance sheets or statements of cash flows. Non-GAAP financial measures do not include operating and other statistical measures or ratios calculated using exclusively either one or both of (i) financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP and (ii) operating measures or other measures that are not non-GAAP financial measures.

The non-GAAP financial measures that we present in this earnings release should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable or other financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, the manner in which we calculate the non-GAAP financial measures that we present in this earnings release may differ from that of other companies reporting measures with similar names. You should understand how such other financial institutions calculate their financial measures that appear to be similar or have similar names to the non-GAAP financial measures we have discussed in this earnings release when comparing such non-GAAP financial measures.

Tangible Book Value Per Common Share. Tangible book value is a non-GAAP measure generally used by financial analysts and investment bankers to evaluate financial institutions. We calculate: (a) tangible common equity as total stockholders’ equity less goodwill and core deposit intangibles, net of accumulated amortization; and (b) tangible book value per common share as tangible common equity (as described in clause (a)) divided by the number of common shares outstanding. For tangible book value per common share, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is book value per common share.

We believe that this measure is important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in changes from period to period in book value per common share exclusive of changes in core deposit intangibles. Goodwill and other intangible assets have the effect of increasing total book value while not increasing our tangible book value.

The following table reconciles, as of the dates set forth below, total stockholders’ equity to tangible common equity and presents our tangible book value per common share compared with our book value per common share:

Tangible Common Equity to Tangible Assets. Tangible common equity to tangible assets is a non-GAAP measure generally used by financial analysts and investment bankers to evaluate financial institutions. We calculate: (a) tangible common equity as total stockholders’ equity less goodwill and core deposit intangibles, net of accumulated amortization; (b) tangible assets as total assets less goodwill and core deposit intangibles, net of accumulated amortization; and (c) tangible common equity to tangible assets as tangible common equity (as described in clause (a)) divided by tangible assets (as described in clause (b)). For tangible common equity to tangible assets, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is total stockholders’ equity to total assets.

We believe that this measure is important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in the relative changes from period to period in common equity and total assets, in each case, exclusive of changes in core deposit intangibles. 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.

Return on Average Tangible Common Equity. Return on average tangible common equity is a non-GAAP measure generally used by financial analysts and investment bankers to evaluate financial institutions. We calculate: (a) net income adjusted for amortization of core deposit intangibles as net income available for common stockholders, plus amortization of core deposit intangibles, less tax benefit at the statutory rate; (b) average tangible common equity as total average stockholders’ equity less average goodwill and average core deposit intangibles, net of accumulated amortization; and (c) return on average tangible common equity as net income adjusted for amortization of core deposit intangibles (as described in clause (a)) divided by average tangible common equity (as described in clause (b)). For return on average tangible common equity, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is return on average common equity.

We believe that this measure is important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in the return on common equity, exclusive of the impact of core deposit intangibles. Goodwill and core deposit intangibles have the effect of increasing total stockholders’ equity while not increasing our tangible common equity. This measure is particularly relevant to acquisitive institutions that may have higher balances in goodwill and core deposit intangibles than non-acquisitive institutions.


The following table reconciles, as of the dates set forth below, average common equity to average tangible common equity and net income to net income adjusted for amortization of core deposit intangibles, net of taxes and presents our return on average tangible common equity:

Operating Net Income, Pre-tax, Pre-provision Operating Earnings and performance metrics calculated using Operating Earnings and Pre-tax, Pre-provision Operating Net Income, including Diluted Operating Earnings per Share, Operating Return on Average Assets, Pre-tax, Pre-Provision Operating Return on Average Assets, Operating Return on Average Tangible Common Equity and Operating Efficiency Ratio. Operating earnings and pre-tax, pre-provision operating earnings are non-GAAP measures used by management to evaluate the Company’s financial performance. We calculate (a) operating net income as net income plus loss on sale of securities available for sale, net, plus loss (gain) on sale of disposed branch assets, plus lease exit costs, net, plus branch closure expenses, plus one-time issuance of shares to all employees, plus merger and acquisition expenses, less tax impact of adjustments, plus re-measurement of deferred tax assets as a result of the reduction in the corporate income tax rate under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, plus other merger and acquisition discrete tax items. We calculate (b) pre-tax, pre-provision operating earnings as operating net income as described in clause (a) plus provision for income taxes, plus provision for loan losses. We calculate (c) diluted operating earnings per share as operating earnings as described in clause (a) divided by weighted average diluted shares outstanding. We calculate (d) operating return on average tangible common equity as operating earnings as described in clause (a) divided by total average tangible common equity (average stockholders' equity less average goodwill and average core deposit intangibles, net of accumulated amortization.) We calculate (e) operating efficiency ratio as non interest expense plus adjustments to operating non interest expense divided by (i) non interest income plus adjustments to operating non interest income plus (ii) net interest income. We believe that these measures and the operating metrics calculated utilizing these measures are important to management and many investors in the marketplace who are interested in understanding the ongoing operating performance of the Company and provide meaningful comparisons to its peers.

1 Loss on sale of disposed branch assets for the year ended December 31, 2019 and for the three months ended June 30, 2019 is included in merger and acquisition expense in the condensed consolidated statements of income.
2 Lease exit costs, net for the year ended December 31, 2018 includes a $1.5 million consent fee and $240 thousand in professional services paid in January 2018 to separately assign and sublease two of our branch leases that we ceased using in 2017 offset by the reversal of the corresponding assigned lease cease-use liability totaling $669 thousand.
3 A 2019 and 2018 transaction cost study were completed during the fourth quarter of 2019 and 2018, respectively, resulting in $1,468 thousand and $3,460 thousand of expenses paid that are non-deductible merger and acquisition expenses for the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. As such, $308 thousand and $727 thousand is the tax impact of these non-deductible expenses that are reflected in the year ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 tax impact of adjustments amounts reported, respectively. All other adjustments to operating net income are taxed at the statutory rate.
4 Other M&A tax items of $829 thousand, $406 thousand and $277 thousand recorded during the three months ended December 31, 2019, September 30, 2019 and June 30, 2019, respectively, relate to permanent tax expense recognized by the Company as a result of deduction limitations on compensation paid to covered employees in excess of the 162(m) limitation directly due to change-in-control payments made to covered employees in connection with the Green acquisition.
5 Discrete tax adjustments of $965 thousand were recorded during the fourth quarter of 2019 primarily due to the Company recording a net tax benefit of $1.6 million as a result of the Company settling an audit with the IRS. The Company released an uncertain tax position reserve that was assumed in the Green acquisition resulting in a $2.2 million tax benefit, offset by tax expense totaling $598 thousand that were recorded due to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act rate change on deferred tax assets resulting from the IRS audit settlement. The net IRS settlement was offset by various discrete, non-recurring tax expenses totaling $0.6 million.

Safe Harbor Forward-looking statements This presentation contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are based on various facts and derived utilizing assumptions, current expectations, estimates and projections and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements relating to the expected payment date of Veritex’s quarterly cash dividend, Veritex’s business and growth strategy, projected plans and objectives. Statements preceded by, followed by or that otherwise include the words “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “projects,” “estimates,” “plans” and similar expressions or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “should,” “would,” “may” and “could” are generally forward-looking in nature and not historical facts, although not all forward-looking statements include the foregoing words. We refer you to the “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” sections of Veritex’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 and any updates to those risk factors set forth in Veritex’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), which are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. If one or more events related to these or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or if Veritex’s underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may differ materially from what Veritex anticipates. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Veritex does not undertake any obligation, and specifically declines any obligation, to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise. All forward-looking statements, expressed or implied, included in this presentation are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. This cautionary statement should also be considered in connection with any subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements that Veritex or persons acting on Veritex’s behalf may issue.

Some data is also based on Veritex's good faith estimates, which are derived from management's knowledge of the industry and independent sources. Industry publications, surveys and forecasts generally state that the information contained therein has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable.

While Veritex is not aware of any misstatements regarding the industry data presented in this presentation, Veritex's estimates involve risks and uncertainties and are subject to change based on various factors. Similarly, Veritex believes that its internal research is reliable, even though such research has not been verified by independent sources. 2


 
Non -GAAP Financial Measures Veritex reports its results in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). However, management believes that certain supplemental non-GAAP financial measures used in managing its business provide meaningful information to investors about underlying trends in its business. Management uses these non-GAAP measures to assess the Company’s operating performance and believes that these non-GAAP measures provide information that is important to investors and that is useful in understanding Veritex’s results of operations. However, non-GAAP financial measures are supplemental and should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, Veritex’s reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. The following are the non-GAAP measures used in this presentation: • Tangible book value per common share; • Tangible common equity to tangible assets; • Returns on average tangible common equity; • Operating net income; • Pre-tax, pre-provision operating earnings; • Diluted operating earnings per share (“EPS”); • Operating return on average assets; • Operating return on average tangible common equity; • Operating efficiency ratio; • Operating noninterest income; and • Operating noninterest expense. Please see “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” at the end of this presentation for reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. 3

The Company released an uncertain tax position reserve that was assumed in the Green acquisition resulting in a $2.2 million tax benefit, offset by tax expense totaling $598 thousand that were recorded due to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act rate change on deferred tax assets resulting from the IRS audit settlement. The net IRS settlement was offset by various discrete, non-recurring tax expenses totaling $0.6 million. 21
