Northeast Bancorp Reports Third Quarter Results, Declares Dividend

LEWISTON, Maine--()--Northeast Bancorp (“Northeast” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: NBN), a Maine-based full-service financial services company and parent of Northeast Bank (the “Bank”), today reported net income of $1.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, compared to $168 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2012. Net income for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 was $4.2 million, compared to $1.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2012. Net income for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 included $1.1 million from discontinued operations.

Net income available to common stockholders was $1.7 million, or $0.16 per diluted common share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, compared to $70 thousand, or $0.02 per diluted common share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2012. Net income available to common stockholders for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 was $3.9 million, or $0.37 per diluted common share, compared to $821 thousand, or $0.23 per diluted common share, for the nine months ended March 31, 2012. Weighted average shares outstanding increased to 10.4 million shares in each of the current year periods from 3.5 million shares in 2011 principally as a result of the Company’s public offering of common stock in May 2012.

The Board of Directors has declared a cash dividend of $0.09 per share, payable on May 24, 2013 to shareholders of record as of May 10, 2013.

“We are pleased with our earnings performance this quarter, with strong returns in our loan purchasing division, and further growth in deposits through ableBanking,” said Richard Wayne, Chief Executive Officer. “Our loan purchasing division realized $4.1 million of transactional income on loan payoffs and sales, which drove our total purchased loan return to 22.0% and our net interest margin to 5.07% for the quarter. AbleBanking, our online affinity deposit program grew deposits by $29.3 million. Asset quality remained strong with non-performing assets declining by 24% from the quarter ending December 31, 2012.”

At March 31, 2013, total assets were $699.6 million, an increase of $30.4 million, or 4.5%, compared to June 30, 2012. The principal components of the year-to-date change in the balance sheet were as follows:

1.       The loan portfolio grew by $24.1 million, or 6.8%, principally due to net growth of $58.9 million in commercial loans purchased or originated by the Bank’s Loan Acquisition and Servicing Group (“LASG”), offset by net amortization and payoffs of $34.8 million in the Community Banking Division loan portfolio.
 
Compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2012, the Bank’s LASG loan portfolio declined $1.3 million, reflecting purchases and originations of $11.3 million and $2.8 million, respectively, offset by loan payoffs and asset sales totaling $15.4 million. Loan payoffs and asset sales during the quarter ended March 31, 2013 resulted in $4.1 million of transactional income, compared to $1.9 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2012 and $493 thousand in the quarter ended March 31, 2012.
 
As has been discussed in more detail in the Company’s SEC filings, loan purchases by the LASG are subject to two regulatory conditions, which are summarized below, together with the remaining purchasing capacity available under each of these conditions:
 

Basis for Regulatory
Condition

    Condition    

Remaining Purchased Loan
Capacity at March 31, 2013

(Dollars in millions)
Total Loans Purchased loans may not exceed 40% of total loans $ 41.2
Regulatory Capital Commercial real estate loans may not exceed 300% of total risk-based capital $ 141.7
 
        To increase its capacity under the “Total Loans” regulatory condition, the Company is currently holding in its portfolio, as necessary and on a duration–matched basis, residential fixed and adjustable rate loans that would otherwise be sold in the secondary market.
 
An overview of the LASG portfolio follows:

2. Deposits increased by $83.4 million, or 19.8%, due primarily to a $68.0 million increase in deposits raised through ableBanking, the Bank’s online affinity deposit platform. At March 31, 2013, ableBanking deposits stood at $70.8 million, consisting of $37.2 million of time deposits and $33.5 million of money market accounts.
 
3. Borrowings decreased by $49.9 million, or 41.2%, as a result of the repayment of structured repurchase agreements and FHLB advances.
 
4. Stockholders’ equity decreased by $3.4 million, or 2.9%, primarily due to the redemption of TARP preferred stock and warrants totaling $4.3 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2012.
 

Net income increased by $1.5 million to $1.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, compared to $168 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2012. Operating results for the quarter included the following items of significance:

1.       Net interest income increased by $3.5 million, or 73.6%, to $8.3 million for the quarter compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2012, primarily due to growth in the purchased loan portfolio. This result is evident in the net interest margin, which increased to 5.07% for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, compared to 3.44% for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, and 4.28% for the quarter ended December 31, 2012.

      Net gains on the sale of portfolio loans of $1.2 million for the quarter, the result of a gain on the sale of one LASG loan, increased by $1.0 million compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2012.
 
3. No securities gains were realized during the quarter ended March 31, 2013, as compared to gains of $731 thousand realized for the quarter ended March 31, 2012.
 
4. Noninterest expense increased by $1.6 million for the current quarter, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2012, principally due to the following:
  • An increase of $1.2 million in employee compensation, due mainly to higher incentive compensation, increases in staffing, and in the cost of employee benefits programs. Full-time equivalent employees increased by 26 over the past twelve months, as the Company has added staff to several operational areas and the LASG.
  • An increase of $288 thousand in occupancy and equipment expense, principally due to increased rent associated with the relocation of the Company’s office in Boston, MA, and depreciation of investments in new technology, principally those associated with ableBanking.
  • An increase of $108 thousand in loan acquisition and collection expense, principally due to an increase in the size of the LASG portfolio, which has grown to $148.4 million from $62.3 million at March 31, 2012.
  • An increase of $107 thousand in marketing expense, principally due to promotional incentives associated with ableBanking.

At March 31, 2013, nonperforming assets were $7.4 million, or 1.1% of total assets, a decrease of $2.4 million from the quarter ended December 31, 2012, and an increase of $483 thousand compared to the amount at June 30, 2012.

At March 31, 2013, the Company’s Tier 1 leverage ratio was 17.4%, a decrease from 19.9% at June 30, 2012, and the total risk-based capital ratio was 30.7%, a decrease from 33.3% at June 30, 2012.
