Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, notes and tables included in Northeast Bancorp’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
A Note about Forward Looking Statements
This report contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, such as statements relating to the Company’s financial condition, prospective results of operations, future performance or expectations, plans, objectives, prospects, loan loss allowance adequacy, simulation of changes in interest rates, capital spending and finance sources and revenue sources. These statements relate to expectations concerning matters that are not historical facts. Accordingly, statements that are based on management’s projections, estimates, assumptions, and judgments constitute forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements, which are based on various assumptions (some of which are beyond the Company’s control), may be identified by reference to a future period or periods, or by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “believe”, “expect”, “estimate”, “anticipate”, “continue”, “plan”, “approximately”, “intend”, “objective”, “goal”, “project”, or other similar terms or variations on those terms, or the future or conditional verbs such as “will”, “may”, “should”, “could”, and “would”. Although the Company believes that these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable estimates and assumptions, they are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, contingencies, and other factors. Accordingly, the Company cannot give you any assurance that its expectations will, in fact, occur or that its estimates or assumptions will be correct. The Company cautions you that actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements as a result of, among other factors, changes in interest rates and real estate values; competitive pressures from other financial institutions; weakness in general economic conditions on a national basis or in the local markets in which the Company operates, including changes which adversely affect borrowers’ ability to service and repay the Company’s loans; changes in loan defaults and charge-off rates; changes in the value of securities and other assets, adequacy of loan loss reserves, or deposit levels necessitating increased borrowing to fund loans and investments; changes in government regulation; the risk that the Company may not be successful in the implementation of its business strategy; the risk of compromises or breaches of the company's security systems; the risk that intangibles recorded in the Company’s financial statements will become impaired; changes in assumptions used in making such forward-looking statements; and the other risks and uncertainties detailed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015 as updated in the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other filings submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report and the Company does not undertake any obligation to update or revise any of these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this report or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
Description of Business and Strategy
Business Overview
Northeast Bancorp (“we,” “our,” “us,” “Northeast” or the “Company”), incorporated under Maine law in 1987, is a bank holding company registered with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve”). As a bank holding company registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “BHCA”), the Company is subject to regulation and supervision by the Federal Reserve. The Company’s primary subsidiary and principal asset is its wholly-owned banking subsidiary, Northeast Bank (the “Bank” or “Northeast Bank”), a Maine state-chartered bank originally organized in 1872. As a Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insured Maine-chartered bank, the Bank is subject to regulation and supervision by the Maine Bureau of Financial Institutions (the “Bureau”) and the FDIC.
On December 29, 2010, the merger of the Company and FHB Formation LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“FHB”), was consummated. As a result of the merger, the surviving company received a capital contribution of $16.2 million (in addition to the approximately $13.1 million in cash consideration paid to former shareholders), and the former members of FHB collectively acquired approximately 60% of the Company’s outstanding common stock. The Company applied the acquisition method of accounting, as described in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805,
Business Combinations
(“ASC 805”) to the merger, which represents an acquisition by FHB of Northeast, with Northeast as the surviving company.
In connection with the transaction, as part of the regulatory approval process, the Company and the Bank made certain commitments to the Federal Reserve, the most significant of which are (i) to maintain a Tier 1 leverage ratio of at least 10%, (ii) to maintain a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 15%, (iii) to limit purchased loans to 40% of total loans, (iv) to fund 100% of the Company’s loans with core deposits (defined as non-maturity deposits and non-brokered insured time deposits), and (v) to hold commercial real estate loans (including owner-occupied commercial real estate) to within 300% of total risk-based capital. On June 28, 2013, the Federal Reserve approved an amendment to exclude owner-occupied commercial real estate loans from the commitment to hold commercial real estate loans to within 300% of total risk-based capital. All other commitments made to the Federal Reserve in connection with the merger remain unchanged. The Company and the Bank are currently in compliance with all commitments to the Federal Reserve. The Company’s compliance ratios at March 31, 2016 follow:

As of March 31, 2016, the Company, on a consolidated basis, had total assets of $922.7 million, total deposits of $752.9 million, and shareholders’ equity of $114.5 million. The Company gathers retail deposits through its banking offices in Maine and the Bank's online affinity deposit program, ableBanking; originates loans through the Bank’s Community Banking Division; originates Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loans through the Bank’s SBA National group (“SBA Division”); and purchases and originates commercial loans through the Bank’s Loan Acquisition and Servicing Group (“LASG”). The Community Banking Division, with ten full-service branches and two loan production offices, operates from the Bank’s headquarters in Lewiston, Maine. LASG, ableBanking, and the SBA Division operate from the Company's offices in Boston, Massachusetts.
Unless the context otherwise requires, references herein to the Company include the Company and the Bank on a consolidated basis.
Strategy
The Company’s goal is to prudently grow its franchise, while maintaining sound operations and risk management, by implementing the following strategies:
Continuing our community banking tradition.
With a history that dates to 1872, our Community Banking Division maintains its focus on sales and service, with the goal of attracting and retaining deposits, and serving the lending needs of retail and commercial customers within our core markets.
Growing LASG’s national originated and purchased loan business.
We purchase commercial real estate loans nationally, at prices that on average have produced yields significantly higher than those available on our originated loan portfolio. We also originate loans nationally, taking advantage of our core expertise in underwriting and servicing national credits.
Growing our national SBA origination business.
We originate loans on a national basis to small businesses, primarily through the SBA 7(a) program, which provides the partial guarantee of the SBA.
Generating deposits to fund our business.
We offer a full line of deposit products through our ten-branch network located in the Community Banking Division’s market. ableBanking is a direct savings platform providing an additional channel to raise core deposits to fund our asset strategy.
Critical Accounting Policies
Critical accounting policies are those that involve significant judgments and assessments by management, and which could potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. The reader is encouraged to review each of the policies included in Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2015 to gain a better understanding of how Northeast’s financial performance is measured and reported. There has been no material change in critical accounting policies during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2016.
Overview
Net income was $1.8 million, or $0.19 per diluted common share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, compared to $1.8 million, or $0.18 per diluted common share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2015.
Net income was $5.4 million, or $0.57 per diluted common share, for the nine months ended March 31, 2016, compared to $5.0 million, or $0.50 per diluted common share, for the nine months ended March 31, 2015.
Net interest and dividend income before provision increased by $134 thousand, or 1.5%, to $9.3 million 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.
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.
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.
Financial Condition
Overview
Total assets increased by $72.0 million, or 8.5%, to $922.7 million at March 31, 2016, compared to June 30, 2015. The principal components of the change in the balance sheet were as follows:
|
●
|
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 LASG, net growth of $11.7 million in originations by the SBA 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 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 noted above in the “
Business
Overview
” section, 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.

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.
Assets
Cash, Short-term Investments and Securities
Cash and short-term investments were $91.5 million as of March 31, 2016, an increase of $1.6 million, or 1.8%, from $89.9 million at June 30, 2015. The increase is primarily due to the increase in loans and deposits in the period, offset by the maturity of available-for-sale securities.
Available-for-sale securities totaled $90.5 million as of March 31, 2016, compared to $101.9 million as of June 30, 2015, representing a decrease of $11.4 million, or 11.2% due to the maturity of securities issued by government agencies. Included in available-for-sale securities are securities issued by government agencies and government-sponsored enterprises, as well as an investment of approximately $5.0 million in a CRA qualified fund that seeks to invest in securities either issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies. At March 31, 2016, no securities were pledged for outstanding borrowings.

Classification of Assets
Loans are classified as non-performing when 90 or more days past due, unless a loan is well-secured and in the process of collection. Loans less than 90 days past due, for which collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful, also may be designated as non-performing. In both situations, accrual of interest ceases. The Company typically maintains such loans as non-performing until the respective borrowers have demonstrated a sustained period of payment performance.
In cases where a borrower experiences financial difficulties and the Company makes certain concessionary modifications, the loan is classified as a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”). Concessionary modifications may include adjustments to interest rates, extensions of maturity, or other actions intended to minimize economic loss and avoid foreclosure or repossession of collateral. Nonaccrual loans that are restructured generally remain on nonaccrual status for a minimum period of six months to demonstrate that the borrower can meet the restructured terms. If the restructured loan is on accrual status prior to being modified, it is reviewed to determine if the modified loan should remain on accrual status. If the borrower’s ability to meet the revised payment schedule is not reasonably assured, the loan is classified as a nonaccrual loan. With limited exceptions, loans classified as TDRs remain classified as such until the loan is paid off.
Other nonperforming assets include other real estate owned (“OREO”) and other personal property securing loans repossessed by the Bank. The real estate and personal property collateral for commercial and consumer loans is written down to its estimated realizable value upon repossession. Revenues and expenses are recognized in the period when received or incurred on OREO and in substance foreclosures. Gains and losses on disposition are recognized in noninterest income
.
The following table details the Company's nonperforming assets and other credit quality indicators as of March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2015. Management believes that, based on their carrying amounts, nonperforming assets are well secured based on the estimated fair value of underlying collateral.

At March 31, 2016, nonperforming assets totaled $9.4 million, or 1.02% of total assets, as compared to $12.4 million, or 1.5% of total assets, at June 30, 2015.
Allowance for Loan Losses
In connection with the application of the acquisition method of accounting for the merger on December 29, 2010, the allowance for loan losses was reduced to zero when the loan portfolio was marked to its then current fair value. Since that date, the Company has provided for an allowance for loan losses as new loans are originated or in the event that credit exposure in the pre-merger loan portfolio or other acquired loans exceeds the exposure estimated when initial fair values were determined.
The Company’s allowance for loan losses was $2.2 million as of March 31, 2016, which represents an increase of $297 thousand from $1.9 million as of June 30, 2015. The increase during the period was principally due to two loans which were provided for in the second quarter and an increased volume of newly originated loans, offset by charge-offs.
The following table details ratios related to the allowance for loan losses for the periods indicated.

While management believes that it uses the best information available to make its determinations with respect to the allowance for loan losses, there can be no assurance that the Company will not have to increase its provision for loan losses in the future as a result of changing economic conditions, adverse markets for real estate or other factors.
Other Assets
The cash surrender value of the Company’s bank-owned life insurance (“BOLI”) assets increased $336 thousand, or 2.2% to $15.6 million at March 31, 2016, compared to $15.3 million at June 30, 2015. Increases in cash surrender value are recognized in other income and are not subject to income taxes. Borrowing on, or surrendering a policy, may subject the Company to income tax expense on the increase in cash surrender value. For these reasons, management considers BOLI an illiquid asset. BOLI represented 12.4% of the Company’s total capital at March 31, 2016.
Intangible assets totaled $1.8 million and $2.2 million at March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2015, respectively. The $369 thousand decrease was the result of core deposit intangible asset amortization during the period.

Deposits
The Company’s principal source of funding is its core deposit accounts. At March 31, 2016, non-maturity accounts, and certificates of deposit with balances less than $250 thousand represented 99.8% of total deposits.
Total deposits increased $78.2 million to $752.9 million as of March 31, 2016 from $674.8 million as of June 30, 2015. The increase, which funded growth in the Company’s loan portfolio, was centered mainly in money market accounts attracted through the Community Banking Division.

Borrowed Funds
Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) were $30.1 million at March 31, 2016, as compared to $30.2 million at June 30, 2015. At March 31, 2016, the Company had pledged certain residential real estate loans, commercial real estate loans, and FHLB deposits free of liens or pledges to secure outstanding advances and available additional borrowing capacity. At March 31, 2016, no securities were pledged for outstanding borrowings.
During the first quarter, the Company’s wholesale repurchase agreements paid off at maturity, representing a $10.0 million decrease from June 30, 2015.
Short-term borrowings, consisting of sweep accounts and repurchase agreements, were $2.7 million and $2.3 million as of March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2015, respectively.

Retail deposits and other core deposit sources including deposit listing services are used by the Bank to manage its overall liquidity position. While we currently do not seek wholesale funding such as FHLB advances and brokered deposits, the ability to raise them remains an important part of our liquidity contingency planning. While we closely monitor and forecast our liquidity position, it is affected by asset growth, deposit withdrawals and meeting other contractual obligations and commitments. The accuracy of our forecast assumptions may increase or decrease our overall available liquidity. To utilize the FHLB advance capacity, the purchase of additional capital stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston may be required.
At March 31, 2016, the Company had $349.2 million of immediately accessible liquidity, defined as cash that the Bank reasonably believes could be raised within seven days through collateralized borrowings, brokered deposits or security sales.
This position represented 37.8% of total assets. The Company also had $91.5 million of cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2016.
Management believes that there are adequate funding sources to meet its liquidity needs for the foreseeable future. Primary funding sources are the repayment of principal and interest on loans, the renewal of time deposits, the potential for growth in the deposit base, and the credit availability from the FHLB. Management does not believe that the terms and conditions that will be present at the renewal of these funding sources will significantly impact the Company’s operations, due to its management of the maturities of its assets and liabilities.
Capital
The carrying amount and unpaid principal balance of junior subordinated debentures totaled $8.8 million and $16.5 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2016. This debt represents qualifying Tier 1 capital for the Company, up to a maximum of 25% of total Tier 1 capital. At March 31, 2016, the carrying amounts of the junior subordinated notes, net of the Company’s $496 thousand investment in the affiliated trusts, qualified as Tier 1 capital.
At March 31, 2016, shareholders’ equity was $114.5 million, an increase of $1.8 million, or 1.6% from June 30, 2015. Book value per outstanding common share was $12.27 at March 31, 2016 and $11.76 at June 30, 2015. Tier 1 capital to total average assets of the Company was 13.57% as of March 31, 2016 and 14.49% at June 30, 2015.
Under the capital rules, risk-based capital ratios are calculated by dividing Tier 1 and total capital, respectively, by risk-weighted assets. Assets and off-balance sheet credit equivalents are assigned to one of several risk-weight categories, based primarily on relative risk. The rules require banks and bank holding companies to maintain a minimum common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 4.5%, a minimum Tier 1 capital ratio of 6%, a total capital ratio of 8% and a leverage ratio of 4%. Additionally, subject to a transition schedule, the capital rules require a bank holding company to establish a capital conservation buffer of Tier 1 capital in an amount above the minimum risk-based capital requirements for "adequately capitalized" institutions equal to 2.5% of total risk weighted assets, or face restrictions on the ability to pay dividends, pay discretionary bonuses, and to engage in share repurchases.
A bank holding company, such as the Company, is considered "well capitalized" if the bank holding company (i) has a total risk based capital ratio of at least 10%, (ii) has a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of at least 6%, and (iii) is not subject to any written agreement order, capital directive or prompt corrective action directive to meet and maintain a specific capital level for any capital measure. Under the FDIC's prompt corrective action rules, such as the Bank, an insured state nonmember bank is considered "well capitalized" if it (i) has a total risk-based capital ratio of 10.0% or greater; (ii) a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 8.0% or greater; (iii) a common Tier 1 equity ratio of 6.5% or greater, (iv) a leverage capital ratio of 5.0% or greater; and (iv) is not subject to any written agreement, order, capital directive, or prompt corrective action directive to meet and maintain a specific capital level for any capital measure.
The Company and the Banks are considered "well capitalized" under all regulatory definitions.
The Company's and the Bank's regulatory capital ratios are set forth below.

Stock Repurchases
On April 23, 2014, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized the Company to purchase up to 870,000 shares of its common stock, representing 8.3% of the Company’s outstanding common shares and approximately $8.4 million based on the Company’s closing stock price on April 22, 2014.
On April 30, 2015, the Board of Directors voted to amend the existing stock repurchase program to authorize the Company to purchase an additional 500,000 shares of its common stock, representing 5.1% of the Company’s outstanding common shares or approximately $4.7 million based on the Company’s closing price on April 29, 2015. The amended stock repurchase program will expire on April 30, 2017.
On February 25, 2016, the Board of Directors approved an amendment to the Company’s existing stock repurchase program subject to regulatory approval, which was received on March 2, 2016. The approved amendment, which is effective March 2, 2016, increased the existing stock repurchase program by 600,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, representing 6.3% of the Company’s outstanding common shares or approximately $6.3 million based on the Company’s closing price on March 2, 2016. The amended stock repurchase program will expire on March 2, 2018.
As of March 31, 2016, 1,311,362 shares had been repurchased under this plan at a weighted average price of $9.69.
Off-balance Sheet
Financial Instruments
The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, unused lines of credit and standby letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest-rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The contract or notional amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of the Company’s involvement in particular classes of financial instruments.
See Part I. Item I. “Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 10: Commitments and Contingencies” for further discussion.
Results of Operations
General
Net income increased by $57 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2015. Net income increased by $445 thousand to $5.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2016, compared to $5.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2015. When compared to the prior year, increases in net income for both the three and nine months ended March 31, 2016 resulted principally from positive balance sheet growth due to increased loan volume, and higher gains on sales of SBA loans.
The following table details the “total return” on purchased loans, which includes transactional interest income of $913 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2016. Transactional interest income for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 was $5.8 million, a decrease of $1.8 million from the nine months ended March 31, 2015 principally due to higher payoffs in fiscal 2015.

Net interest and dividend income before provision for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was $9.3 million and $9.1 million, respectively.
The increase of $134 thousand was primarily due to higher average loan volume in the purchased and originated loan portfolio. The following table summarizes interest income and related yields recognized on the Company’s loans for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015.

The Company’s interest rate spread decreased by 52 basis points and net interest margin decreased by 54 basis points for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2015. The decrease was principally due to lower transactional interest income in the purchased portfolio. The following sets forth
the average balance sheets, interest income and interest expense, and average yields and costs for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015.

The following table presents the extent to which changes in volume and interest rates of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities have affected the Company’s interest income and interest expense during the periods indicated. Information is provided in each category with respect to (i) changes attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior period rate), (ii) changes attributable to changes in rates (changes in rates multiplied by prior period volume) and (iii) change attributable to a combination of changes in rate and volume (change in rates multiplied by the changes in volume). Changes attributable to the combined impact of volume and rate have been allocated proportionately to the changes due to volume and the changes due to rate

The following table presents the extent to which changes in volume and interest rates of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities have affected the Company’s interest income and interest expense during the periods indicated. Information is provided in each category with respect to (i) changes attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior period rate), (ii) changes attributable to changes in rates (changes in rates multiplied by prior period volume) and (iii) changes attributable to a combination of changes in rate and volume (change in rates multiplied by the changes in volume). Changes attributable to the combined impact of volume and rate have been allocated proportionately to the changes due to volume and the changes due to rate

Provision for Loan Losses
Quarterly, the Company determines the amount of the allowance for loan losses that is appropriate to provide for losses inherent in the Company’s loan portfolios, with the provision for loan losses determined by the net change in the allowance for loan losses. For loans accounted for under ASC 310-30, a provision for loan loss is recorded when estimates of future cash flows are lower than had been previously expected. See Part I. Item I. “Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements — Note 4: Loans, Allowance for Loan losses and Credit Quality” for further discussion.
The provision for loan losses for periods subsequent to the merger with FHB Formation LLC reflects the impact of adjusting loans to their then fair values, as well as the elimination of the allowance for loan losses in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting. Subsequent to the merger, the provision for loan losses has been recorded based on estimates of inherent losses in newly originated loans and for incremental reserves required for pre-merger loans based on estimates of deteriorated credit quality post-merger
.

|
●
|
An increase of $370 thousand in salaries and employee benefits, principally due to increased employee headcount;
|
|
●
|
An increase of $275 thousand in occupancy and equipment expense, due to increases in rent and IT-related equipment expense; and
|
|
●
|
A decrease of $135 thousand in loan acquisition and collections expense, principally due to lower legal expense related to loan collection in the period.
