NBN Northeast Bank

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 $1.8 million, or $0.19 per diluted common share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, compared to net income of $1.8 million, or $0.18 per diluted common share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2015. Net income for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 was $5.4 million, or $0.57 per diluted common share, compared to $5.0 million, or $0.50 per diluted common share, for the nine months ended March 31, 2015.

The Board of Directors has also declared a cash dividend of $0.01 per share, payable on May 27, 2016 to shareholders of record as of May 13, 2016.

“Our strong growth in fiscal year 2016 continued in the third quarter,” said Richard Wayne, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We generated loan volume of $84.4 million, including $49.8 million of loans produced by the Loan Acquisition and Servicing Group, $10.4 million of loans closed by the SBA National division, $15.9 million of residential mortgage loans originated, and $8.3 million originated in the community banking commercial division. We sold $11.9 million in SBA loans for a gain of $1.2 million in the quarter. And, in our continuing effort to improve returns for shareholders, we repurchased 184 thousand shares at an average price of $10.22.”

As of March 31, 2016, total assets were $922.7 million, an increase of $72.0 million, or 8.5%, compared to June 30, 2015. The principal components of the change in the balance sheet follow:

1. The loan portfolio – excluding loans held for sale – has grown by $86.9 million, or 14.2%, compared to June 30, 2015, principally on the strength of $82.9 million of net growth in commercial loans purchased or originated by the Bank’s Loan Acquisition and Servicing Group (“LASG”), net growth of $11.7 million in originations by the Bank’s Small Business Administration (“SBA”) National division and net growth of $7.5 million in commercial originations by the Bank’s Community Banking Division. This net growth was offset by a $15.2 million decrease in the Bank’s Community Banking Division residential and consumer loan portfolio.

Loans generated by the LASG totaled $49.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2016. The growth in LASG loans consisted of $21.9 million of purchased loans, at an average price of 89.9% of unpaid principal balance, and $27.8 million of originated loans. SBA loans closed during the quarter totaled $10.4 million, of which $10.3 million were fully funded in the quarter.  In addition, the Company sold $11.9 million of the guaranteed portion of SBA loans in the secondary market, of which $4.9 million were originated in the current quarter and $7.0 million were originated in prior quarters. Residential loan production sold in the secondary market totaled $19.7 million for the quarter.

As previously discussed in the Company’s SEC filings, the Company made certain commitments to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System in connection with the merger of FHB Formation LLC with and into the Company in December 2010. The Company’s loan purchase and commercial real estate loan availability under these conditions follow:

(1) The total return on purchased loans represents scheduled accretion, accelerated accretion, gains on asset sales, and other noninterest income recorded during the period divided by the average invested balance, on an annualized basis.  The total return does not include the effect of purchased loan charge-offs or recoveries in the quarter.

2. Deposits increased by $26.2 million, or 3.6% for the quarter, attributable primarily to growth in non-maturity (demand, savings and interest checking, and money market) accounts, which increased by $26.0 million, or 7.0%. For the nine months ended March 31, 2016, deposits increased $78.2 million, or 11.6%, primarily due to growth in money market non-maturity accounts of $70.5 million, or 21.4%, and growth in time deposits of $7.7 million, or 2.2%.

3. Stockholders’ equity increased by $1.8 million from June 30, 2015, due principally to earnings of $5.4 million, offset by $3.2 million in share repurchases (representing 309,500 shares). Additionally, there was an increase in stock-based compensation of $445 thousand, offset by a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income of $555 thousand and $287 thousand in dividends paid on common stock.

Net income increased by $57 thousand to $1.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, compared to $1.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2015.

1. Net interest and dividend income before provision for loan losses increased by $134 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2015. The increase is primarily due to higher average loan volume in the purchased and originated loan portfolio.

The various components of transactional income are set forth in the table below entitled “Total Return on Purchased Loans.” When compared to the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015, transactional interest income decreased by $1.8 million in both periods. The following table summarizes interest income and related yields recognized on the loan portfolios:

The yield on purchased loans for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 was 9.9% as compared to 13.6% in the quarter ended March 31, 2015, due to lower transactional income in the quarter. The following table details the total return on purchased loans:

(1) The total return on purchased loans represents scheduled accretion, accelerated accretion, gains on asset sales, gains on real estate owned and other noninterest income recorded during the period divided by the average invested balance, on an annualized basis.  The total return does not include the effect of purchased loan charge-offs or recoveries in the quarter.

2. Noninterest income increased by $481 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2015, principally due to an increase in gains realized on sale of portfolio loans. The recent quarter includes gains realized on sale of SBA loans of $1.2 million, compared to $425 thousand in the quarter ended March 31, 2015. The gain is offset by a decrease of $411 thousand in gains recognized on real estate owned and other repossessed collateral.

3. Noninterest expense increased by $527 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2015, primarily due to an increase in salaries and employee benefits of $530 thousand, due to increased employee headcount.

At March 31, 2016, nonperforming assets totaled $9.4 million, or 1.0% of total assets, as compared to $12.4 million, or 1.5% of total assets, at June 30, 2015.

At March 31, 2016, the Company’s Tier 1 Leverage Ratio was 13.6%, a decrease from 14.5% at June 30, 2015, and the Total Capital Ratio was 17.8%, a decrease from 20.1% at June 30, 2015. The decreases in the capital ratios resulted primarily from balance sheet growth and the effect of purchases under the Company’s share repurchase program in the current fiscal year.

(1) The net interest rate spread represents the difference between the weighted-average yield on interest-earning assets and the weighted-average cost of interest-bearing liabilities for the period.
(2) The net interest margin represents net interest income as a percent of average interest-earning assets for the period.
(3) The efficiency ratio represents non-interest expense divided by the sum of net interest income (before the loan loss provision) plus non-interest income.
(4) For purposes of calculating this ratio, commercial real estate includes all non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans defined as such by regulatory guidance, including all land development and construction loans.
(5) Core deposits include all non-maturity deposits and maturity deposits less than $250 thousand. Loans include loans held-for-sale.
(6) The Company’s adoption of Basel III went into effect as of March 31, 2015. The previous period ratios are the “Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio.”
(7) Includes the core deposit intangible asset, as well as the servicing rights asset which is included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets.
(8) Tangible book value per share represents total stockholders' equity less the sum of preferred stock and intangible assets divided by common shares outstanding.
