NewBridge Bancorp (the "Company") today reported earnings for the three month period ended March 31, 2015. Net income available to common shareholders totaled $3.8 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, compared to $3.1 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2014. Quarterly earnings per share were impacted by the issuance of 1.735 million shares in the Premier Commercial Bank acquisition, and included $2.3 million of pre-tax acquisition related expenses. Operating net income, a non-GAAP measure of net income less acquisition related expenses, increased 65% to $5.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, up from $3.2 million in the prior year's first quarter.
Pressley A. Ridgill, President and CEO, commented: "A key focus at NewBridge in 2015 is to prudently build value for our shareholders by harvesting efficiencies from our expanded lending teams, our recently completed mergers and our new market locations. Our multi-faceted organic and acquisitive growth strategy over the prior two years has established the vital framework necessary to support strong sustained organic loan and deposit growth for years to come. Our balance sheet has grown substantially year-over-year, and our talented team remains focused on building out their portfolios and increasing their contributions. While total asset growth appears to be the primary story, the Company is methodically focused on diversifying income streams, enhancing efficiency, and building on an exceptional corporate culture.
I am particularly pleased, this quarter, by the successful acquisition and integration of Premier Commercial. The seamless integration has been well received by our clients and the market, which validates my belief that the two companies were a strong cultural fit. Premier contributed nearly $100 million to our loan balances and $125 million of total deposits to our franchise. Goodwill and tangible book value dilution on the transaction proved to be less than our due diligence process indicated, and earnings accretion is occurring immediately.
In addition to the solid results the Company attained in the Premier Commercial merger, organic loan and deposit growth have been robust and balanced. We have seen strong contributions from multiple business teams and diverse geographic locations. Loan balances increased organically $51 million, an 11% annualized growth rate, led by significant increases in our middle market, commercial real estate and commercial banking portfolios. Moreover, core deposits increased $66 million, including $21 million of noninterest-bearing deposits. Core deposit growth was driven by increases in our legacy retail markets as well as outstanding growth from our commercial teams. Finally, our mortgage unit had an outstanding quarter. Mortgage revenue increased 176% over the prior year. This unit's growth and success are due primarily to continued efforts to build its purchased real estate business, which is an area that yields proven long-term success.
The value of our franchise is impacted by our ability to continuously generate high quality earning assets, primarily funded by core low-cost client deposits. By this measure, NewBridge had an excellent quarter."
Net Interest Income
Net interest income increased 30%, or $5.1 million, to $21.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2014. This increase reflected a continuing rise in the average balance of earning assets, primarily loans, following two successful acquisitions and organic growth during the past year. Total average earning assets increased to $2.4 billion at March 31, 2015 from $1.8 billion at March 31, 2014. For the first quarter of 2015, the net interest margin declined 6 basis points to 3.69%, compared to the prior year period, but was unchanged from the fourth quarter of 2014.
Noninterest Income
Total noninterest income for the first quarter of 2015 was $4.4 million compared with $4.3 million for the first quarter of 2014. Wealth management revenue grew 5% to $752,000 from $716,000 as the Company continued to scale up these services. Mortgage banking revenue increased sharply to $356,000, up 176% from $129,000 a year earlier, reflecting strong growth in mortgage loan production. Retail banking income decreased 18% to $2.1 million in the first quarter of 2015 from $2.6 million in the first quarter of 2014, principally due to reduced insufficient funds fees. The Company also had a net gain of $470,000 from investments in small business investment companies, which is reflected within other noninterest income, during the first quarter of 2015, compared to $314,000 during the same period in 2014. The Company recognized no gains on the sale of investment securities in either period.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense increased 30% to $20.1 million, primarily reflecting the Company's increased size and scale and acquisition related expenses. In the first quarter of 2015, noninterest expense included $2.3 million in acquisition related expenses primarily related to the Premier Commercial acquisition, and a 21% increase in personnel expenses, primarily reflecting additional employees from acquisitions and new hires as the Company increased its presence within several markets. Noninterest expense also reflected elevated levels in several categories of expense, including legal and professional fees, occupancy costs reflecting the addition of new offices during the year, and technology and data processing costs as the Company invested in supporting a larger and more geographically diverse operation.
Spence H. Broadhurst, Senior EVP and Chief Banking Officer, commented: "The Company's continued growth in the key markets of Charlotte, North Carolina and Charleston, South Carolina are paying dividends. We streamlined banking teams in late 2014, creating better focus in our commercial banking operations. We continue to attract talented bankers from other organizations, and are incenting our bankers to generate low-cost and noninterest-bearing deposits to fund high quality loan originations. Improving core efficiency to mitigate margin pressures in the continued low interest rate environment is a core objective, along with expedient cultural integration of acquired banks and banking teams."
Balance Sheet
Total assets grew to $2.74 billion at March 31, 2015, up 9% from $2.52 billion at December 31, 2014. The addition of approximately $164 million of assets from the Premier acquisition was the primary driver of this growth.
Loans held for investment increased $143.6 million, or 8%, to $1.95 billion compared to $1.80 billion at December 31, 2014. Premier Commercial contributed $93.0 million with organic growth accounting for $50.6 million.
As a result of acquisitive and organic growth, commercial loans rose 9% to $1.01 billion at March 31, 2015, compared to $928.8 million at December 31, 2014, while construction loans increased 13% and mortgage loans grew 6%. Organic growth during the first quarter of 2015 included a $27 million increase in middle market lending to approximately $127 million in outstanding balances and a $31 million increase in commercial and industrial and commercial real estate lending.
The Company's investment portfolio increased $39.3 million to $536.1 million at March 31, 2015, compared to $496.8 million at December 31, 2014 primarily due to the acquisition of Premier Commercial. At March 31, 2015, the average duration of the debt investment portfolio was 3.98 years, down from 4.08 years at December 31, 2014, and remains liquid, with an average yield of 3.36% compared to 3.38% at December 31, 2014.
Total deposits were $2.03 billion at March 31, 2015, up $194.2 million from December 31, 2014, reflecting both organic growth and acquired deposits with Premier Commercial contributing $125.2 million. Core transaction, savings and money market accounts were 71% of the Company's deposits and totaled $1.45 billion at March 31, 2015. Compared to December 31, 2014, noninterest-bearing deposits increased $41.1 million, or 13%, reflecting significantly increased commercial banking activity and client relationships.
The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 0.41% for the first quarter of 2015 and was relatively stable with 0.40% for the fourth quarter of 2014. Total borrowings were $435.5 million at March 31, 2015, compared to $438.5 million at December 31, 2014.
Shareholders' equity increased to $251.2 million at March 31, 2015, up $19.9 million from December 31, 2014. Retained earnings rose $3.2 million during the first quarter, due to net income of $3.8 million and the first quarter declared dividend of $585,000. Average diluted shares outstanding increased to 38,333,841 at March 31, 2015 from 37,655,766 at December 31, 2014, primarily due to issuance of shares in the Premier Commercial acquisition and the exercise of stock options. The Company's tangible book value rose from $5.50 per share at December 31, 2014 to $5.67 at March 31, 2015.
Asset Quality
Asset quality reflected continued improvement throughout 2014 and into the first quarter 2015 even as the Company grew substantially. Nonperforming assets at March 31, 2015 declined to $8.4 million from $18.5 million a year earlier. The percentage of nonperforming assets to total assets declined to 0.31% at March 31, 2015, compared to 0.91% a year earlier. Total nonperforming loans declined to $5.9 million at March 31, 2015, compared to $12.8 million at March 31, 2014. As a percentage of total assets, nonperforming loans declined to 0.22% compared to 0.63% a year earlier. Net chargeoffs were $338,000 for the first quarter of 2015, with one commercial loan chargeoff of $582,000 that had a specific reserve of $545,000 at December 31, 2014. Net chargeoffs were $259,000 in the first quarter of 2014. The Company's allowance for credit losses to total loans held for investment was 1.12%, slightly down from the fourth quarter of 2014 in line with a consistent quarterly decline since March 31, 2014. The ratio of the allowance for credit losses to nonperforming loans was 368% at March 31, 2015.
Outlook
Mr. Ridgill commented on the outlook for NewBridge: "We are very optimistic about the Company's ability to continue successfully executing its strategic plan, which includes significant organic growth, complemented by prudent acquisitive growth. The acquisition of Premier Commercial expanded the Company's presence in our hometown Greensboro, North Carolina market. This is one of numerous key markets in both North Carolina and South Carolina in which we have expanded our presence and capabilities. We believe the integration of Premier has gone extremely well, evidenced by quick technology systems and personnel integration. We were able to complete the acquisition with tangible book value dilution of approximately $0.01 per share. We expect to report continued successes to our shareholders throughout 2015."
