Brookline Bancorp Announces Second Quarter Net Income of $9.5 Million, EPS of $0.14

Steady Profitability - Asset Quality Improves

BOSTON--()--Brookline Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: BRKL) (the “Company”) today announced net income of $9.5 million, or $0.14 per basic and diluted share, for the second quarter of 2013, compared to $8.8 million, or $0.13 per basic and diluted share, for the first quarter of 2013, and $7.5 million, or $0.11 per basic and diluted share, for the second quarter of 2012. This increase in earnings per share represents an 8 percent increase from the first quarter 2013 and a 26 percent increase from the second quarter of 2012.

Paul Perrault, President and Chief Executive Officer of Brookline Bancorp, Inc., stated: “We are pleased to report increased earnings for the quarter and the successful completion of our three-phase systems conversions as of May 2013. Our already stellar asset quality continues to improve and our bankers continue to compete effectively in our markets, despite continued competitive pressures.”

BALANCE SHEET

Total assets increased $40.1 million during the second quarter, to $5.2 billion at June 30, 2013, and increased $178.1 million from $5.0 billion at June 30, 2012. Total loans and leases increased $31.0 million during the quarter to $4.2 billion, representing 3 percent growth on an annualized basis. At June 30, 2013, the commercial loan and lease and commercial real estate portfolios totaled $3.0 billion, or 70.2 percent of total loans and leases. Strong loan growth continued in our commercial real estate portfolios of $55.6 million in the quarter or 11 percent on an annualized basis. This growth offset the decrease in the indirect automobile portfolio of $31.2 million from March 31, 2013 to June 30, 2013.

Deposits of $3.7 billion at June 30, 2013 were up $30.9 million from March 31, 2013 and up $135.8 million from June 30, 2012. This represents an annualized increase of 4 percent from June 30, 2012. Core deposits, which consist of demand checking, NOW, savings, and money market accounts, increased at a 7 percent annualized rate in the second quarter of 2013, raising the core deposit ratio from 72.6 percent at March 31, 2013 to 73.4 percent at June 30, 2013. Total borrowings increased $9.6 million from $820.4 million at March 31, 2013 to $830.0 million at June 30, 2013.

Cash, cash equivalents, and investment securities were flat quarter-to-quarter and down $22.6 million year-to-year to $579.5 million, or 11.3 percent of total assets, at June 30, 2013 as compared to $579.2 million, or 11.3 percent of total assets, at March 31, 2013 and $602.1 million, or 12.1 percent of total assets, at June 30, 2012.

The ratio of stockholders’ equity to total assets was 11.87 percent at June 30, 2013. The ratio of tangible stockholders’ equity to tangible assets was 9.10 percent at June 30, 2013.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income for the second quarter of 2013 increased $1.7 million to $45.4 million from $43.7 million in the first quarter of 2013, and increased $2.6 million from $42.8 million for the quarter ending June 30, 2012.

For the second quarter of 2013, net interest income includes $1.4 million of prepayment penalties on commercial loans, up $0.5 million from first quarter 2013, and $2.4 million of accretion and amortization on acquired loans, deposits, and borrowed funds, up $0.2 million from first quarter 2013. Collectively, these increases contributed 31 basis points to the second quarter 2013 net interest margin which increased from 3.70 percent for the first quarter 2013 to 3.78 percent.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

Non-interest income for the second quarter of 2013 decreased $0.2 million to $3.1 million from $3.3 million in the first quarter of 2013, and decreased $1.6 million from $4.7 million for the second quarter of 2012. The quarter-to-quarter decrease was largely a result of an increased loss from investments in affordable housing projects in the second quarter of 2013.

Non-interest income for the six months of 2013 decreased $1.8 million to $6.5 million from $8.3 million in 2012. Several factors contributed to the year-to-year decrease, including an increased loss from investments in affordable housing projects, a reduction in deposit-related service charges due to systems conversion, and a smaller gain on sales of mortgage loans due to the higher interest-rate environment in the second quarter of 2013. The year-to-year decrease was also a result of a net gain on sales of securities in the second quarter of 2012.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE AND TAX PROVISION

Non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2013 remained flat as compared to the first quarter of 2013 at $30.8 million, and increased $2.2 million from $28.6 million for the second quarter of 2012. Quarter-to-quarter changes in the components of non-interest expense included the following:

  • Compensation and employee benefit expense increased $0.4 million, or 2 percent, compared to the first quarter of 2013. This quarter-to-quarter increase is largely a result of temporary and permanent additions to staff and one additional pay day in the second quarter.
  • Other expense decreased quarter-to-quarter in part as a result of a reduction in other-real-estate-owned expense of $0.2 million, as well as decreases in insurance and postage expense.

Non-interest expense for the first six months of 2013 increased approximately $0.5 million to $61.6 million from $61.1 million in 2012. Year-to-year changes in the components of non-interest expense included the following:

  • Compensation and employee benefit expense increased $4.1 million, or 14 percent, compared to the first six months of 2012. This year-to-year increase is largely a result of additions to staff to support system conversions and to further the Company's infrastructure build.
  • Equipment and data processing expense increased largely as a result of upgrades in data processing, purchases of equipment, and conversion-related expenses in conjunction with Bank Rhode Island’s core system conversion.
  • Professional services expense decreased $6.0 million year-over-year largely as a result of reduced costs for integration activities, systems conversions, bank charter conversions and a change in the Company’s outsourced internal auditors.
  • Other expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2013 increased $1.3 million year-to-year due in part to increased expenses for repossessed assets, telecommunication, printing, and marketing.

The effective tax rate decreased slightly from 36.1 percent for the second quarter of 2012 to 35.7 percent for the first quarter of 2013 and to 35.3 percent for the second quarter of 2013.

The return on average assets increased from 0.61 percent at June 30, 2012 and 0.70 percent at March 31, 2013 to 0.74 percent at June 30, 2013. The return on average stockholders’ equity increased from 5.04 percent at June 30, 2012 and 5.72 percent at March 31, 2013 to 6.16 percent at June 30, 2013.

ASSET QUALITY

Nonperforming loans and leases decreased $4.2 million from $21.7 million, or 0.42 percent of total assets, at March 31, 2013 to $17.5 million, or 0.34 percent of total assets, at June 30, 2013. The ratio of nonperforming loans and leases to total loans and leases decreased from 0.52 percent at March 31, 2013 to 0.42 percent at June 30, 2013. Nonperforming assets also decreased approximately $4.0 million from $22.9 million, or 0.45 percent of total assets, at March 31, 2013 to $19.0 million, or 0.37 percent of total assets, at June 30, 2013.

The provision for loan and lease losses increased from $1.8 million for the first quarter of 2013 to $2.4 million for the second quarter of 2013. The increase is due to the growth in the commercial real estate portfolios and an additional allowance recorded for subsequent deterioration in the acquired loan portfolios.

The allowance for loan and lease losses was $44.3 million at June 30, 2013, compared to $42.5 million at March 31, 2013, and $37.4 million at June 30, 2012. The increase is due to additions to the allowance for continued loan growth in the commercial real estate portfolios and an additional allowance recorded for subsequent deterioration in the acquired loan portfolios. The allowance for loan and lease losses as a share of total loans and leases was 1.05 percent at June 30, 2013, compared to 1.02 percent at March 31, 2013, and 0.93 percent at June 30, 2012. The allowance for loan and lease losses related to originated loans and leases as a percent of originated loans and leases remained flat at 1.34 percent at March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013.

DIVIDEND DECLARED

The Company’s Board of Directors approved, for the 45th consecutive quarter, a dividend of $0.085 per share. The dividend will be paid on August 24, 2013, to shareholders of record on August 10, 2013.
