MIDLAND, Mich., April 15, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Chemical Financial Corporation ("Corporation" or "Chemical") (NASDAQ: CHFC ) today announced 2016 first quarter net income of $23.3 million, or $0.60 per diluted share, compared to 2015 fourth quarter net income of $25.5 million, or $0.66 per diluted share and 2015 first quarter net income of $17.8 million, or $0.54 per diluted share. Excluding merger and acquisition-related transaction expenses ("transaction expenses"), net income in the first quarter of 2016 was $24.9 million, or $0.65 per diluted share, compared to $26.9 million, or $0.70 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2015 and $18.7 million, or $0.57 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2015.
Transaction expenses attributable to the pending merger with Talmer Bancorp, Inc. ("Talmer"), which was announced on January 26, 2016, were $2.6 million in the first quarter of 2016, while transaction expenses attributable to the April 1, 2015 acquisition of Monarch Community Bancorp, Inc. ("Monarch") and the May 31, 2015 acquisition of Lake Michigan Financial Corporation ("Lake Michigan") were $2.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2015 and $1.4 million in the first quarter of 2015.
"Between these solid financial results, and our late January announcement of our partnership with Talmer, 2016 is off to a strong start for Chemical Financial Corporation. The improvement in our first quarter 2016 financial results over the prior year’s first quarter was driven, in large part, by the benefits and synergies of the two acquisitions we have completed in the intervening period, combined with solid organic loan and deposit growth over the past year. The resultant balance sheet and revenue growth, combined with our sustained high level of credit quality and ability to keep operating expenses in check, has translated into strong first quarter earnings performance," noted David B. Ramaker, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of Chemical Financial Corporation.
"We continue to believe that our community-centric approach to commercial banking makes us an attractive financial service provider for the households and small- and middle-market businesses that operate in the communities we serve, while also making us an appealing potential partner for like-minded financial institutions. Our pending merger with Talmer represents another instance of our ability to bring strong, complementary, talented commercial banking operations into the Chemical Financial Corporation family. We look forward to continuing to execute on our growth strategy across select Midwestern markets in the months and years ahead," added Ramaker.
The Corporation's return on average assets was 1.01% during the first quarter of 2016, compared to 1.10% in the fourth quarter of 2015 and 0.98% in the first quarter of 2015. The Corporation's return on average shareholders' equity was 9.2% in the first quarter of 2016, compared to 10.1% in the fourth quarter of 2015 and 9.0% in the first quarter of 2015. Excluding transaction expenses, the Corporation's return on average assets was 1.09% during the first quarter of 2016, compared to 1.16% in the fourth quarter of 2015 and 1.03% in the first quarter of 2015 and the Corporation's return on average shareholders' equity was 9.9% in the first quarter of 2016, compared to 10.7% in the fourth quarter of 2015 and 9.5% in the first quarter of 2015.
Net interest income was $74.3 million in the first quarter of 2016, $1.1 million, or 1.5%, lower than the fourth quarter of 2015, although $15.1 million, or 26%, higher than the first quarter of 2015. The decrease in net interest income in the first quarter of 2016, compared to the fourth quarter of 2015, was largely attributable to lower interest income resulting from one less day in the first quarter of 2016 and semi-annual interest income from Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) dividends and seasonal loan fees in the fourth quarter of 2015. Loan growth in the first quarter of 2016 was offset by a slight reduction in the average yield of the loan portfolio during the quarter. The increase in net interest income in the first quarter of 2016 over the first quarter of 2015 was largely attributable to the positive impact of organic loan growth and the impact of the Corporation's acquisitions of Monarch and Lake Michigan.
The net interest margin (on a tax-equivalent basis) was 3.60% in the first quarter of 2016, compared to 3.64% in the fourth quarter of 2015 and 3.55% in the first quarter of 2015. The average yield on the loan portfolio was 4.13% in the first quarter of 2016, compared to 4.16% in both the fourth quarter of 2015 and the first quarter of 2015. The average yield of the investment securities portfolio was 2.29% in the first quarter of 2016, compared to 2.21% in the fourth quarter of 2015 and 1.96% in the first quarter of 2015. The Corporation's average cost of funds was 0.25% in both the first quarter of 2016 and the fourth quarter of 2015, compared to 0.21% in the first quarter of 2015.
The provision for loan losses was $1.5 million in the first quarter of 2016, compared to $2.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2015 and $1.5 million in the first quarter of 2015. Net loan charge-offs were $4.5 million, or 0.25% of average loans, in the first quarter of 2016, compared to $4.3 million, or 0.24% of average loans, in the fourth quarter of 2015 and $1.9 million, or 0.14% of average loans, in the first quarter of 2015. Net loan charge-offs in the first quarter of 2016 included $2.9 million from one commercial loan relationship.
The Corporation's nonperforming loans, consisting of nonaccrual loans, accruing loans past due 90 days or more as to principal or interest payments and nonperforming troubled debt restructurings, totaled $73.3 million at March 31, 2016, compared to $83.9 million at December 31, 2015 and $72.7 million at March 31, 2015. The $10.6 million, or 13%, decrease in nonperforming loans during the first quarter of 2016 was primarily attributable to a combination of net loan charge-offs and $7.8 million of principal paydowns. Nonperforming loans comprised 0.99% of total loans at March 31, 2016, compared to 1.15% at December 31, 2015 and 1.28% at March 31, 2015. The decrease in the percentage of nonperforming loans to total loans at March 31, 2016, compared to March 31, 2015, was partially due to the addition of $1.11 billion of total loans acquired in the Monarch and Lake Michigan transactions, with no corresponding increase in nonperforming loans as these acquired loans are not classified as nonperforming after the acquisition date since they are recorded in loan pools at their net realizable value.
At March 31, 2016, the allowance for loan losses of the originated loan portfolio was $70.3 million, or 1.17% of originated loans, compared to $73.3 million, or 1.26% of originated loans, at December 31, 2015 and $75.3 million, or 1.49% of originated loans, at March 31, 2015. The allowance for loan losses of the originated loan portfolio as a percentage of nonperforming loans was 96% at March 31, 2016, compared to 87% at December 31, 2015 and 103% at March 31, 2015.
Noninterest income was $19.4 million in the first quarter of 2016, compared to $20.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2015 and $19.3 million in the first quarter of 2015. Noninterest income in the first quarter of 2016 was lower than the fourth quarter of 2015, due primarily to lower seasonal overdraft fees and mortgage banking revenue.
Operating expenses were $58.9 million in the first quarter of 2016, compared to $57.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2015 and $51.0 million in the first quarter of 2015. Operating expenses included transaction expenses of $2.6 million in the first quarter of 2016, $2.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2015 and $1.4 million in the first quarter of 2015. Excluding these transaction expenses, operating expenses were $56.3 million in the first quarter of 2016, $0.6 million, or 1.0%, higher than the fourth quarter of 2015 and $6.6 million, or 13%, higher than the first quarter of 2015. The increase in operating expenses in the first quarter of 2016, compared to the fourth quarter of 2015, was primarily attributable to higher employee benefit costs related to $1.1 million of higher payroll tax expenses, which are highest in the first quarter of the year, and $0.4 million higher group health costs. These and other increases were partially offset by lower expenses in other categories, including variable and incentive compensation, equipment and software and credit-related expenses. The increase in operating expenses in the first quarter of 2016, compared to the first quarter of 2015, was primarily attributable to incremental operating costs associated with the Monarch and Lake Michigan transactions.
The Corporation's efficiency ratio was 58.8% in the first quarter of 2016, 57.1% in the fourth quarter of 2015 and 62.4% in the first quarter of 2015.
Total assets were $9.30 billion at March 31, 2016, compared to $9.19 billion at December 31, 2015 and $7.55 billion at March 31, 2015. The increase in total assets during the three months ended March 31, 2016 was primarily attributable to loan growth that was funded by an increase in seasonal municipal deposit accounts. The increase in total assets during the twelve months ended March 31, 2016 was attributable to $1.47 billion of assets acquired in the Monarch and Lake Michigan acquisitions and loan growth that was partially funded by $355 million of organic growth in customer deposits. Interest-bearing balances at the Federal Reserve Bank totaled $90 million at March 31, 2016, compared to $15 million at December 31, 2015 and $239 million at March 31, 2015. Investment securities were $1.03 billion at March 31, 2016, compared to $1.06 billion at both December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2015.
Total loans were $7.37 billion at March 31, 2016, up $96 million, or 1.3%, from total loans of $7.27 billion at December 31, 2015 and up $1.66 billion, or 29%, from total loans of $5.70 billion at March 31, 2015. During the first quarter of 2016, commercial real estate loans grew $42 million, residential mortgage loans grew $32 million and commercial loans grew $16 million. The increase in loans during the twelve months ended March 31, 2016 was attributable to $1.11 billion of loans acquired in the Monarch and Lake Michigan acquisitions and $557 million of organic loan growth.
Total deposits were $7.65 billion at March 31, 2016, compared to $7.46 billion at December 31, 2015 and $6.32 billion at March 31, 2015. The increase in deposits during the first quarter of 2016 was primarily attributable to a $131 million increase in seasonal municipal deposit accounts. The increase in total deposits during the twelve months ended March 31, 2016 was attributable to the Corporation acquiring $1.07 billion of deposits in the Monarch and Lake Michigan acquisitions and organic growth in customer deposits of $355 million, which were partially offset by a decrease of $94 million related to maturing brokered deposits that were acquired in the Lake Michigan transaction.
Securities sold under agreements to repurchase with customers were $283 million at March 31, 2016, compared to $297 million at December 31, 2015 and $372 million at March 31, 2015, with the decrease from March 31, 2015 due largely to $50 million of temporary funds received from one customer of Chemical Bank that were withdrawn during the second quarter of 2015. Short-term borrowings were $100 million at December 31, 2015 (none at March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015) and consisted of short-term FHLB advances utilized by the Corporation to fund short-term liquidity needs. The decrease in short-term borrowings during the first quarter of 2016 was due to the Corporation utilizing a portion of funds received from the seasonal increase in municipal deposit accounts to pay off maturing short-term FHLB advances. Long-term borrowings were $274 million at March 31, 2016 and $242 million at December 31, 2015. The Corporation had no long-term borrowings at March 31, 2015. The increase in long-term borrowings during the first quarter of 2016 was attributable to the Corporation borrowing an additional $50 million of long-term FHLB advances to fund future liquidity needs and in anticipation of increases in market interest rates. During the first quarter of 2016, the Corporation paid off its subordinated debt obligations of $18 million that were acquired in the Lake Michigan transaction.
At March 31, 2016, the Corporation's tangible equity to assets ratio and total risk-based capital ratio were 8.2% and 11.5%, respectively, compared to 8.1% and 11.8%, respectively, at December 31, 2015 and 8.5% and 13.0%, respectively, at March 31, 2015. The decrease in the Corporation's capital ratios at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, compared to March 31, 2015, was attributable to the Monarch and Lake Michigan acquisitions. At March 31, 2016, the Corporation's book value was $26.99 per share, compared to $26.62 per share at December 31, 2015 and $24.68 per share at March 31, 2015. At March 31, 2016, the Corporation's tangible book value was $19.20 per share, compared to $18.78 per share at December 31, 2015 and $18.95 per share at March 31, 2015.
