RALEIGH, N.C., July 21, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Yadkin Financial Corporation (NYSE: YDKN ) ("Yadkin" or the "Company"), the parent company of Yadkin Bank, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2016.

"We are pleased to report the Company achieved record net income and net operating earnings in the second quarter of 2016," announced Scott Custer, Yadkin's CEO. "The strong performance reflects the impact of the acquisition of NewBridge Bancorp earlier this year and robust growth within the entire branch network."

Second Quarter 2016 Performance Highlights

Acquisition of NewBridge Bancorp

On March 1, 2016, the Company completed its acquisition of NewBridge Bancorp (“NewBridge”), pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated October 12, 2015 (the "NewBridge Merger"). Following the NewBridge Merger, the Company is currently the fourth largest bank headquartered in North Carolina and ranks first by North Carolina deposit market share among community banks. The Company now operates 100 full-service banking locations in its North Carolina and South Carolina banking network and has a significant presence in all major North Carolina markets, including Charlotte, the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill Triangle, the Piedmont Triad, and Wilmington. The Company plans to complete the NewBridge systems integration in September 2016. The NewBridge Merger added $2.1 billion in loans, $2.0 billion in deposits, and resulted in significant changes across most balance sheet categories. Additionally, since the merger was effective on March 1, 2016, the Company's results of operations for the first quarter reflect the impact of NewBridge for only one month. As a result, the Company's quarterly and year-to-date 2016 financial results may not be comparable to financial results in prior periods.

Results of Operations and Asset Quality

Net interest income totaled $63.5 million in the second quarter of 2016, which was a significant increase from $48.0 million in the first quarter of 2016. This increase was due to the full quarter impact of NewBridge's interest-earning assets as well as organic loan growth. Net interest margin decreased from 4.05 percent in the first quarter of 2016 to 3.94 percent in the second quarter of 2016, primarily due to lower-yielding acquired NewBridge loans and lower investment securities yields. Core net interest margin, which excludes the impact of accretion income on net interest income, was 3.63 percent in the second quarter of 2016, compared to 3.70 percent in the first quarter of 2016.

Net accretion income on acquired loans totaled $4.8 million in the second quarter of 2016, which consisted of $723 thousand of net accretion on purchased credit-impaired ("PCI") loans and $4.1 million of accretion income on purchased non-impaired loans. Net accretion income on acquired loans in the first quarter of 2016 totaled $3.6 million, which included $1.1 million of net accretion on PCI loans and $2.4 million of net accretion income on purchased non-impaired loans. Net accretion income on purchased non-impaired loans included $1.9 million of accelerated accretion due to principal prepayments in the second quarter of 2016 compared to $767 thousand in the first quarter of 2016. Higher non-PCI accretion income during the second quarter of 2016 reflected the full quarter impact of the NewBridge Merger.

Provision for loan losses was $2.3 million in the second quarter of 2016 compared to $1.9 million in the first quarter of 2016.The following table summarizes changes in the allowance for loan losses ("ALLL") for the quarters presented.

(Dollars in thousands)   Non-PCI Loans   PCI Loans   Total
             
Q2 2016            
Balance at April 1, 2016   $ 9,453     $ 778     $ 10,231  
Net charge-offs   (896 )   —     (896 )
Provision for loan losses   2,307     (9 )   2,298  
Balance at June 30, 2016   $ 10,864     $ 769     $ 11,633  
             
Q1 2016            
Balance at January 1, 2016   $ 8,447     $ 1,322     $ 9,769  
Net charge-offs   (1,413 )   —     (1,413 )
Provision for loan losses   2,419     (544 )   1,875  
Balance at March 31, 2016   $ 9,453     $ 778     $ 10,231  

The ALLL was $11.6 million, or 0.22 percent of total loans as of June 30, 2016, compared to $10.2 million, or 0.20 percent of total loans, as of March 31, 2016. The increase in ALLL to total loans was primarily due to current origination activity. The adjusted ALLL, a non-GAAP metric that includes the ALLL as well as net acquisition accounting fair value adjustments for acquired loans, declined from 1.50 percent of total loans as of March 31, 2016 to 1.41 percent as of June 30, 2016. The decline in the adjusted ALLL ratio was due to improvements in historical loss rates used in the Company's ALLL model.

The provision for loan losses on non-PCI loans decreased by $112 thousand in the second quarter of 2016, primarily due to lower net charge-offs, which totaled $896 thousand in the second quarter of 2016 and $1.4 million in the first quarter of 2016. The annualized net charge-off rate was 0.07 percent of average loans the second quarter of 2016, a decline from 0.15 percent in the first quarter of 2016. The provision credit recorded on PCI loans decreased by $535 thousand on a linked-quarter basis, the result of significantly improved estimated cash flows on certain PCI loan pools during the first quarter of 2016.

Nonperforming loans, which include nonaccrual loans and loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing, as a percentage of total loans increased to 0.94 percent as of June 30, 2016 from 0.83 percent as of March 31, 2016. Total nonperforming assets (which include nonperforming loans and foreclosed assets) as a percentage of total assets similarly increased to 1.08 percent as of June 30, 2016 from 0.83 percent as of March 31, 2016. The Company's nonperforming asset ratio increased from a higher level of nonaccrual loans, a delinquent purchased receivables balance, and higher other real estate balances.

Non-interest income totaled $15.6 million in the second quarter of 2016, an increase from $11.4 million in the first quarter of 2016. Service charges and fees on deposit accounts increased by $1.6 million primarily due to the addition of acquired NewBridge deposit accounts. Mortgage banking income generated $3.9 million during the second quarter of 2016 compared to $1.6 million during the first quarter of 2016 as a result of strong local housing markets within the Company's footprint, a favorable interest rate environment for mortgage activity, and a $1.2 million gain recorded on a forward commitment to sell a portfolio of conforming residential mortgage loans. Government-guaranteed, small business lending income, which includes gains on sales of the guaranteed portion of certain U.S. Small Business Administration ("SBA") loans as well as servicing fees on previously sold SBA loans, contributed $2.7 million to non-interest income in the second quarter of 2016 compared to $3.1 million during the first quarter of 2016.

Non-interest expense totaled $50.2 million in the second quarter of 2016, an increase from $44.8 million in the first quarter of 2016, primarily due to the full-quarter impact of the NewBridge operating costs. Salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment, data processing, and other non-interest expense categories all increased as a result of the NewBridge Merger, which added employees, branch and other facilities, and equipment to the Company's expense base. Personnel-related expenses increased 27.2 percent in the second quarter of 2016, while occupancy expenses increased 32.2 percent over the first quarter of 2016, which had included a single month of post-merger operating expenses. Merger and conversion costs declined $3.8 million in the second quarter of 2016, and include various professional fees, personnel, data processing, technology, and other expenses related to the NewBridge Merger.

The Company's efficiency ratio was 63.5 percent in the second quarter of 2016, compared to 75.4 percent in the first quarter of 2016. Operating efficiency ratio, which excludes gains on sales of available for sale securities, the gain from the sale of an ancillary line of business during second quarter of 2016, merger and conversion costs and restructuring charges, was 55.5 percent in the second quarter of 2016 and 58.1 percent in the first quarter of 2016. Execution of the branch consolidation plan (10 branches were closed  in late  Q2 2016 and 2 branches are scheduled to close in late Q3 2016), closures of two non-branch locations (scheduled for Q3 2016), and completion of the systems integration (scheduled for September 2016) should enable the Company to fully realize the cost savings and operational leverage that the NewBridge Merger provides. Management believes the majority of projected cost savings will be achieved by the end of Q3 2016 with remaining savings to be realized in Q4 2016 and Q1 2017.

Income tax expense totaled $9.2 million in the second quarter of 2016 compared to $4.9 million in the first quarter of 2016. The Company's effective tax rate declined to 34.6 percent in the second quarter of 2016, from 38.7 percent in the first quarter of 2016, primarily due to the impact of significant non-deductible merger expenses recorded during the first quarter of 2016.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Statements included in this press release include non-GAAP financial measures and should be read along with the accompanying tables, which provide a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP financial measures. Yadkin management uses non-GAAP financial measures, including: (i) net operating earnings available to common shareholders; (ii) pre-tax, pre-provision operating earnings; (iii) operating non-interest expense, (iv) operating efficiency ratio, (v) adjusted allowance for loan losses to loans; and (vi) tangible common equity, in its analysis of the Company's performance. Net operating earnings available to common shareholders excludes the following from net income available to common shareholders: securities gains and losses, a one-time branch sale gain, merger and conversion costs, restructuring charges, income tax expense from the change in future state tax rates, and the income tax effect of adjustments. Pre-tax, pre-provision operating earnings excludes the following from net income: provision for loan losses, income tax expense, securities gains and losses, a one-time branch sale gain, merger and conversion costs, and restructuring charges. Operating non-interest expense excludes merger and conversion costs and restructuring charges from non-interest expense. The operating efficiency ratio excludes a one-time branch sale gain, securities gains and losses, merger and conversion costs, and restructuring charges from the efficiency ratio. Adjusted allowance for loan losses adds net acquisition accounting fair value discounts to the allowance for loan losses. Tangible common equity excludes preferred stock as well as goodwill and other intangible assets, net, from shareholders' equity.

Management believes that non-GAAP financial measures provide additional useful information that allows readers to evaluate the ongoing performance of the Company and provide meaningful comparisons to its peers. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to any measure of performance or financial condition as promulgated under GAAP, and investors should consider Yadkin performance and financial condition as reported under GAAP and all other relevant information when assessing the performance or financial condition of the Company. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and investors should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the results or financial condition as reported under GAAP.
