NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Signature Bank (Nasdaq: SBNY), a New York-based full-service commercial bank, today announced results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2018. Net income for the 2018 third quarter was $155.4 million, or $2.84 diluted earnings per share, versus $124.5 million, or $2.29 diluted earnings per share, for the 2017 third quarter. The increase in net income for the 2018 third quarter, versus the comparable quarter last year, is primarily due to an increase in net interest income and a decrease in the provision for loan losses and income tax expense.
Net interest income for the 2018 third quarter reached $324.8 million, up $16.0 million, or 5.2 percent, when compared with the 2017 third quarter. This increase is primarily due to growth in average interest-earning assets. Total assets reached $45.87 billion at September 30, 2018, an increase of $4.54 billion, or 11.0 percent, from $41.33 billion at September 30, 2017. Average assets for the 2018 third quarter reached $45.48 billion, an increase of $4.60 billion, or 11.3 percent, compared with the 2017 third quarter.
Deposits for the 2018 third quarter rose $1.10 billion, or 3.1 percent, to $36.09 billion at September 30, 2018. When compared with deposits at September 30, 2017, overall deposit growth for the last twelve months was 7.2 percent, or $2.41 billion. Average deposits for the 2018 third quarter reached $35.78 billion, an increase of $1.27 billion, or 3.7 percent.
“During the past few quarters, Signature Bank has executed several growth initiatives paving the way for the future direction of this institution. These strategies include taking our successful single-point-of-contact model outside of the metro-New York area -- where we spent 17 years building the foundation of our business -- and bringing it to San Francisco after we identified a glaring need. In the 2018 first quarter, we appointed a digital asset banking team because we want to be nimble and ready to change as the market evolves. Just recently, we hired a nine-person team focusing on capital call and subscription finance for private equity firms. And lastly, we have been heavily investing in our infrastructure with the implementation of new systems for loan operations (now in place), credit approvals and foreign exchange as well as an enhanced payments platform,” explained Joseph J. DePaolo, President and Chief Executive Officer.
“Our success since our founding in 2001 is predicated on our ability to attract seasoned bankers who serve as client contacts for all banking needs. This client-centric philosophy is at the crux of all we do. The advancements we are making are all accomplished with client satisfaction at their core. At the same time, we are expanding our reach in new business activities, geography and capabilities. We must take measured risks to fuel future growth, but they are far less than the long-range risks of comfortable inaction. We believe the initiatives upon which we are embarking today will set the stage for the Signature Bank of tomorrow,” DePaolo concluded.
Scott A. Shay, Chairman of the Board, said: “Signature Bank has grown into the 40th largest bank in the U.S., without performing any mergers or acquisitions. Instead, we built our business methodically and organically -- banker by banker -- partnering with those individuals who attract, build and nurture an expansive portfolio of loyal banking clients. We are proud that even after 17+ years in operation, we are still the bank of choice amongst veteran bankers who are passionate about delivering best-in-class service to clients. Every team we attract brings along an unwavering commitment to catering to clients.”
“While we recognize the maxim that ‘what got you here, won't get you there,’ we are constantly on the lookout for new ideas adjacent to our business strategy, including those we can thoughtfully expand upon and which allow us to continue to execute on our service hallmark. This is evidenced by our recent San Francisco expansion. We also recognize that banking and payment technologies are rapidly advancing, and are focused on incorporating evolving technologies relevant to our clients’ needs. While the banking landscape always seems to be increasingly more competitive and challenging, Signature Bank remains stable and at the forefront of both thought- and action-based leadership that positively influences the success of clients,” Shay stated.
Capital
The Bank’s Tier 1 leverage, common equity Tier 1 risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, and total risk-based capital ratios were approximately 9.67 percent, 12.13 percent, 12.13 percent, and 13.44 percent, respectively, as of September 30, 2018. Each of these ratios is well in excess of regulatory requirements. The Bank’s strong risk-based capital ratios reflect the relatively low risk profile of the Bank’s balance sheet. The Bank’s tangible common equity ratio remains strong at 9.15 percent. The Bank defines tangible common equity ratio as the ratio of total tangible common shareholders’ equity to total tangible assets.
The Bank declared a cash dividend of $0.56 per share, payable on or after November 15, 2018 to common stockholders of record at the close of business on November 1, 2018. In the third quarter of 2018, the Bank paid a cash dividend of $0.56 per share to common stockholders of record at the close of business on August 1, 2018.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income for the 2018 third quarter was $324.8 million, an increase of $16.0 million, or 5.2 percent, versus the same period last year, primarily due to growth in average interest-earning assets. Average interest-earning assets of $44.86 billion for the 2018 third quarter represent an increase of $4.56 billion, or 11.3 percent, from the 2017 third quarter. Yield on interest-earning assets for the 2018 third quarter increased 19 basis points, to 3.85 percent, compared with the 2017 third quarter.
Average cost of deposits and average cost of funds for the third quarter of 2018 increased by 33 and 39 basis points, to 0.88 percent and 1.06 percent, respectively versus the comparable period a year ago.
Net interest margin on a tax-equivalent basis for the 2018 third quarter was 2.88 percent versus 3.05 percent reported in the same period a year ago. On a linked quarter basis, net interest margin on a tax-equivalent basis decreased six basis points. Excluding loan prepayment penalties in both quarters, linked quarter core net interest margin on a tax-equivalent basis decreased four basis points to 2.85 percent.
Provision for Loan Losses
The Bank’s provision for loan losses for the third quarter of 2018 was $7.4 million, compared with $8.0 million for the 2018 second quarter and $14.3 million for the 2017 third quarter.
Net charge-offs for the 2018 third quarter were $11,000, or less than one basis point of average loans on an annualized basis, versus $3.0 million, or 0.04 percent, for the 2018 second quarter and $3.8 million, or 0.05 percent, for the 2017 third quarter.
Non-Interest Income and Non-Interest Expense
Non-interest income for the 2018 third quarter was $4.5 million, down $3.6 million when compared with $8.1 million reported in the 2017 third quarter. The decrease was primarily due to a $4.0 million increase in tax credit investment amortization. These investments positively impact our effective tax rate.
Non-interest expense for the third quarter of 2018 was $117.2 million, an increase of $11.6 million, or 11.0 percent, versus $105.6 million reported in the 2017 third quarter. The increase was primarily a result of the addition of new private client banking teams, as well as an increase in costs in our risk management and compliance related activities.
The Bank’s efficiency ratio was 35.6 percent for the 2018 third quarter versus 33.3 percent for the comparable period last year and 34.5 percent for the 2018 second quarter.
Loans
Loans, excluding loans held for sale, grew $979.7 million, or 2.9 percent, during the third quarter of 2018 to $35.13 billion, compared with $34.15 billion at June 30, 2018. At September 30, 2018, loans accounted for 76.6 percent of total assets, versus 75.5 percent at the end of both the 2018 second quarter and the 2017 third quarter. Average loans, excluding loans held for sale, reached $34.53 billion in the 2018 third quarter, growing $854.4 million, or 2.5 percent, from the 2018 second quarter and $3.84 billion, or 12.5 percent, from the 2017 third quarter. The increase in loans for the quarter was primarily driven by growth in specialty finance, commercial real estate and multi-family loans.
At September 30, 2018, non-accrual loans were $134.2 million, representing 0.38 percent of total loans and 0.29 percent of total assets, compared with non-accrual loans of $158.1 million, or 0.46 percent of total loans, at June 30, 2018 and $376.9 million, or 1.21 percent of total loans, at September 30, 2017. Excluding non-accruing loans secured by taxi medallions of $111.7 million, non-accrual loans for the remainder of the entire portfolio are $22.5 million, or six basis points of total loans. At September 30, 2018, the ratio of allowance for loan and lease losses to total loans was 0.63 percent, versus 0.62 percent for June 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017. Additionally, the ratio of allowance for loan and lease losses to non-accrual loans, or the coverage ratio, was 164 percent for the 2018 third quarter versus 135 percent for the second quarter of 2018 and 51 percent for the 2017 third quarter.

| (4) | We define tangible common equity as the ratio of total tangible common equity to total tangible assets (the "TCE ratio"). Tangible common equity is considered to be a non-GAAP financial measure and should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The TCE ratio is a metric used by management to evaluate the adequacy of our capital levels. In addition to tangible common equity, management uses other metrics, such as Tier 1 capital related ratios, to evaluate capital levels. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for related calculation. | |

SIGNATURE BANK
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
(unaudited)
Management believes that the presentation of certain non-GAAP financial measures assist investors when comparing results period-to-period in a more consistent manner and provides a better measure of Signature Bank's results. These non-GAAP measures include the Bank's (i) tangible common equity ratio, (ii) efficiency ratio, (iii) yield on interest-earning assets, tax-equivalent basis, and (iv) core net interest margin, tax-equivalent basis excluding loan prepayment penalty income. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for GAAP-basis measures and results. We strongly encourage investors to review our consolidated financial statements in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure. Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies’ non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names.
