NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Signature Bank (Nasdaq: SBNY), a New York-based full service commercial bank, today announced results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2019.
Net income for the 2019 second quarter was $147.9 million, or $2.72 diluted earnings per share, versus $154.6 million, or $2.83 diluted earnings per share, for the 2018 second quarter. The decrease in net income for the 2019 second quarter, versus the comparable quarter last year, is due to an increase of $19.3 million in non-interest expenses mostly due to the significant hiring of private client banking teams, including nearly 50 employees added for the Fund Banking Division, Venture Banking Group and the Kanno-Wood Team.
Net interest income for the 2019 second quarter reached $326.3 million, up $5.3 million, or 1.6 percent, when compared with the 2018 second quarter. This increase is primarily due to growth in average interest-earning assets. Total assets reached $48.88 billion at June 30, 2019, an increase of $3.66 billion, or 8.1 percent, from $45.22 billion at June 30, 2018. Average assets for the 2019 second quarter reached $48.78 billion, an increase of $4.20 billion, or 9.4 percent, compared with the 2018 second quarter.
Deposits for the 2019 second quarter rose $917.9 million to $37.54 billion at June 30, 2019. When compared with deposits at June 30, 2018, overall deposit growth for the last twelve months was 7.3 percent, or $2.55 billion. Average deposits for the 2019 second quarter reached $36.93 billion, an increase of $456.0 million.
“During the past several years, and particularly over the last twelve months, Signature Bank has been focused on expanding our franchise and securing a larger presence throughout the national banking landscape. To reflect, we began diversifying our revenue streams with the launch of Signature Financial, our specialty finance subsidiary. We continued the diversification and expansion of the Bank with the addition of the Digital Banking Team and the Fund Banking Division, which have both already made meaningful contributions. Moreover, we recently added the Venture Banking Group as well as the Kanno-Wood team, which will provide treasury management products and services to residential and commercial mortgage servicers. We also launched Signet, our 24/7 payments platform, which today continues to be the only such platform offered by an FDIC-insured institution. All these banking teams, which are national in scope, have raised Signature Bank’s profile and offerings and are contributing to a more diversified credit and asset liability position over the short and long term,” explained Joseph J. DePaolo, President and Chief Executive Officer.
“Signature Bank is establishing a banking presence across the country. We have always grown this institution prudently and methodically, utilizing our strong reputation and solid capital position to attract the best bankers available in their industry and keeping the needs of our clients and their depositor safety at the forefront of all we do,” DePaolo concluded.
“In spite of a challenging deposit environment, we once again delivered solid deposit and loan growth leading to strong earnings. Also, we further reduced our risk in the Taxi Medallion portfolio with the sale of $46.4 million in NYC taxi loans on 375 medallions. Additionally, we have put in place several major new initiatives, which will provide significant benefit to our institution over the coming years. Personally, I have never been more positive on our future growth prospects. Our model of doing business remains robust, and we will continue to build value for our long-term investors,” explained Scott A. Shay, Chairman of the Board.
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 9.70 percent, 11.59 percent, 11.59 percent, and 12.82 percent, respectively, as of June 30, 2019. 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 9.46 percent. The Bank defines tangible common equity ratio as the ratio of tangible common equity to adjusted tangible assets and calculates this ratio by dividing total consolidated common shareholders’ equity by consolidated total assets.
The Bank declared a cash dividend for the second quarter of $0.56 per share, payable on or after August 15, 2019 to common stockholders of record at the close of business on August 1, 2019. In the second quarter of 2019, the Bank paid the first quarter’s cash dividend of $0.56 per share to common stockholders of record at the close of business on May 1, 2019. Additionally, during the 2019 second quarter, the Bank repurchased 412,977 shares of common stock for a total of $50.0 million. Since the 2018 fourth quarter, the Bank has repurchased $114.7 million of common stock from its $500 million authorization.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income for the 2019 second quarter was $326.3 million, an increase of $5.3 million, or 1.6 percent, versus the same period last year, primarily due to growth in average interest-earning assets. Average interest-earning assets of $47.94 billion for the 2019 second quarter represent an increase of $4.05 billion, or 9.2 percent, from the 2018 second quarter. Yield on interest-earning assets for the 2019 second quarter increased 21 basis points to 4.03 percent, compared to the second quarter of last year.
Average cost of deposits and average cost of funds for the second quarter of 2019 increased by 43 and 46 basis points, to 1.19 percent and 1.42 percent, respectively, versus the comparable period a year ago.
Net interest margin on a tax-equivalent basis for the 2019 second quarter was 2.74 percent versus 2.94 percent reported in the 2018 second quarter and 2.75 percent in the 2019 first quarter. Excluding loan prepayment penalties in both quarters, linked quarter core net interest margin on a tax-equivalent basis decreased two basis points to 2.71 percent.
Provision for Loan Losses
The Bank’s provision for loan losses for the second quarter of 2019 was $5.4 million, compared with $6.3 million for the 2019 first quarter and $8.0 million for the 2018 second quarter.
Net recoveries for the 2019 second quarter were $3.7 million, or 0.04 percent of average loans, on an annualized basis, versus net charge offs of $879,000, or 0.01 percent, for the 2019 first quarter and net charge offs of $3.0 million, or 0.04 percent, for the 2018 second quarter.
Non-Interest Income and Non-Interest Expense
Non-interest income for the 2019 second quarter was $8.6 million, up $3.0 million when compared with $5.6 million reported in the 2018 second quarter. The increase was driven by a $3.0 million increase in net gains on sales of loans, mostly due to a portfolio sale of Signature Financial equipment loans.
Non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2019 was $131.9 million, an increase of $19.3 million, or 17.1 percent, versus $112.6 million reported in the 2018 second quarter. The increase was predominantly due to an increase of $8.7 million in salaries and benefits from the significant hiring of private client banking teams, including nearly 50 employees added for the Fund Banking Division, the Venture Banking Group and the Kanno-Wood Team.
The Bank’s efficiency ratio was 39.4 percent for the 2019 second quarter versus 34.5 percent for the comparable period last year. The Bank’s efficiency ratio was negatively impacted by the decline in net interest margin as well as an increase in salaries and benefits predominantly due to the aforementioned hiring of private client banking teams.
Loans
Loans, excluding loans held for sale, grew $466.5 million, or 1.2 percent, during the second quarter of 2019 to $37.93 billion, compared with $37.47 billion at March 31, 2019. Average loans, excluding loans held for sale, reached $37.82 billion in the 2019 second quarter, growing $950.9 million, or 2.6 percent, from the 2019 first quarter and $4.15 billion, or 12.3 percent, from the 2018 second quarter. For the third consecutive quarter, the increase in loans for the second quarter was primarily driven by growth in commercial and industrial loans.
In the 2019 second quarter, the Bank sold $46.4 million of its non-performing New York City taxi medallion loans. The Bank now has $18.8 million in non-performing taxi medallion loans and $43.8 million in repossessed taxi medallions remaining. Additionally, capitalizing on the interest rate environment and as part of our ongoing management of credit exposures to our clients, Signature Financial’s Capital Markets Desk sold a $91.8 million portfolio of performing equipment loans for a gain of $2.4 million.
At June 30, 2019, non-accrual loans were $41.3 million, representing 0.11 percent of total loans and 0.08 percent of total assets, compared with non-accrual loans of $94.7 million, or 0.25 percent of total loans, at March 31, 2019 and $158.1 million, or 0.46 percent of total loans, at June 30, 2018. Excluding non-accruing loans secured by taxi medallions of $18.8 million, non-accrual loans for the remainder of the portfolio are $22.5 million, or six basis points of total loans. The ratio of allowance for loan and lease losses to total loans at June 30, 2019 was 0.64 percent, up one basis point from March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018. Additionally, the ratio of allowance for loan and lease losses to non-accrual loans, or the coverage ratio, was 593 percent for the 2019 second quarter versus 249 percent for the first quarter of 2019 and 135 percent for the 2018 second quarter.

Based on the 21 percent U.S. federal statutory tax rate for the periods presented. The tax-equivalent basis is considered 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.

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. | |||||||
