The Bancorp, Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2014 Financial Results

WILMINGTON, Del.--()--The Bancorp, Inc. ("Bancorp") (NASDAQ: TBBK), a financial holding company, today reported financial results for the second quarter 2014.

The Bancorp, Inc. reported a net loss of $5.5 million for the second quarter of 2014 compared to net income of $5.6 million in second quarter 2013, or a loss per share of $0.15 in 2014 compared to $0.15 earnings per share in the comparable prior year period. An 18% effective income tax rate was utilized in second quarter 2014, based upon an estimated annualized tax rate. With a statutory 35% tax rate which approximates the Company’s historical tax rate, the loss per share would have been approximately $0.12.

Financial Highlights

  • 18% increase in net interest income to $27.9 million compared to $23.6 million in second quarter 2013.
  • 12% increase in prepaid card fees to $12.9 million compared to $11.5 million in second quarter 2013.
  • Increases over prior year targeted loan balances as follows: SBA lending 69%, SBLOC 53%, Leasing 8%.
  • An increase in the net interest margin to 2.69% from 2.46% in second quarter 2013.

Betsy Z. Cohen, Bancorp’s Chief Executive Officer, said, “During the quarter, we received an order from the FDIC which specified additional enhanced controls related to BSA. We have acted to address those and engaged consultants to implement such controls. During the second quarter approximately $9.2 million of related one-time consulting and other expenses were accrued. The Bank’s provision for loan losses amounted to $15.5 million reflecting the impact of certain loan relationships in its commercial loan portfolios. We continue to emphasize loan growth in Small Business Administration (SBA), Security Backed Lines of Credit (SBLOC) and vehicle leasing portfolios, for which historical losses are lower than our other commercial lines of business. SBA and SBLOC exhibited year over year growth rates of 69% and 53% respectively. The total of those three targeted portfolios now amounts to approximately $745 million. Net interest income grew 18% or $4.3 million over second quarter 2013, reflecting growth in those targeted loan portfolios and the investment portfolio, which is also targeted for growth. At June 30, 2014 our total loans and securities amounted to $3.8 billion, or 20% higher than June 30, 2013. Additionally we have made progress in lowering excess deposit balances maintained at the Federal Reserve Bank, and as a result of these factors, our net interest margin improved to 2.69% from 2.46% in second quarter 2013. Our prepaid card fees increased 12%, and our card payment and ACH increased 26%, representing continued growth in these two areas. Book value per share at June 30, 2014 was $9.72 compared to $9.21 at June 30, 2013.”

Financial Results

Bancorp reported a net loss available to common shareholders for the three months ended June 30, 2014 of $5.5 million, or a loss per share of $0.15, based on 37,706,491 weighted average shares outstanding, compared to net income available to common shareholders of $5.6 million, or diluted earnings per share of $0.15, based on 37,974,814 weighted average diluted shares outstanding, for the three months ended June 30, 2013.

(1) As a supplement to GAAP, Bancorp has provided this non-GAAP performance result. The Bancorp believes that this non-GAAP financial measure is useful because it allows investors to assess its operating performance. Management utilizes the efficiency ratio to measure overhead as a percentage of revenue. Other companies may calculate the efficiency ratio differently. Although this non-GAAP financial measure is intended to enhance investors’ understanding of Bancorp’s business and performance, it should not be considered, and is not intended to be, a substitute for net income calculated pursuant to GAAP.
