BALA CYNWYD, PA --(Marketwired - July 26, 2017) - Royal Bancshares of Pennsylvania, Inc. ("Company") ( NASDAQ : RBPAA ), parent company of Royal Bank America ("Royal Bank"), is pleased to report net income attributable to the Company of $3.0 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $2.0 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2016. Excluding expenses directly related to the merger with Bryn Mawr Bank Corporation of $162 thousand, net income attributable to the Company was $3.2 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2017.

Net income attributable to the Company for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $4.8 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, compared to $4.2 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2016. Excluding expenses directly related to the merger with Bryn Mawr Bank Corporation of $405 thousand, net income attributable to the Company was $5.2 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2017.

Kevin Tylus, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, noted, "The continued improvement in the net interest margin contributed to our second quarter results. We also significantly reduced our non-performing assets by 28% during the most recent quarter and 34% during 2017. While we are in the midst of our merger planning activities with Bryn Mawr Bank Corporation, we remain equally focused on the daily operations of the bank and serving our customers."

The merger with Bryn Mawr Bank Corporation was approved by the Company's shareholders on May 24, 2017. The merger is subject to certain additional closing conditions, including receipt of applicable regulatory approvals.

Highlights for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 included:

Balance Sheet Trends:

  • Total loans were $605.7 million at June 30, 2017, an increase of $3.7 million, or 0.6%, from $602.0 million at December 31, 2016.
  • Total deposits were $622.8 million at June 30, 2017, a decrease of $6.7 million, or 1.1%, from $629.5 million at December 31, 2016.

Asset Quality:

  • The ratio of non-performing loans to total loans improved significantly and was 0.73% at June 30, 2017 compared to 1.08% at March 31, 2017 and 1.00% at December 31, 2016.
  • Non-performing loans of $4.4 million at June 30, 2017 decreased $2.3 million, or 34.1%, from $6.7 million at March 31, 2017, and decreased $1.6 million, or 26.5%, from $6.0 million at December 31, 2016.
  • The ratio of non-performing assets to total assets continues to improve and was 0.78% at June 30, 2017 compared to 1.05% at March 31, 2017 and 1.15% at December 31, 2016.
  • Non-performing assets of $6.3 million at June 30, 2017 decreased $2.5 million, or 28.1%, from $8.8 million at March 31, 2017, and decreased $3.2 million, or 33.5% from $9.5 million at December 31, 2016. Other real estate owned ("OREO") has declined $1.6 million, or 45.4%, during the first six months of 2017 mostly due to sales of the properties.
  • For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recorded a provision to the allowance for loan and lease losses of $57 thousand and $354 thousand, respectively, compared to $197 thousand and $409 thousand for the same periods in 2016, respectively. The 2017 provision was primarily attributable to the leasing subsidiary.

Income Statement and Other Highlights:

  • The return on average assets for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 was 1.46% and 1.17%, respectively, compared to 1.02% and 1.06% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively.
  • The return on average equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 was 21.51% and 17.16%, respectively, compared to 11.55% and 11.77% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively.
  • At June 30, 2017, the Company's Tier 1 leverage and Total Risk Based Capital ratios were 9.13% and 14.27%, respectively, compared to 8.49% and 13.30%, respectively, at December 31, 2016. The Common Equity Tier 1 ratio was 8.90% at June 30, 2017 compared to 7.99% at December 31, 2016.
  • Net interest income increased $1.1 million, or 16.9%, from $6.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 to $7.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. Net interest income increased $1.6 million, or 12.5%, from $12.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 to $14.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The growth in net interest income was impacted by the growth in average interest-earning assets coupled with interest received from the redemption of a non-performing tax certificate and was partially offset by an increase in the average rate paid on average interest-bearing deposits and borrowings.
  • The net interest margin was 3.84% for the second quarter of 2017 compared to 3.41% for the comparable period in 2016. The net interest margin was 3.72% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to 3.46% for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The increase in net interest margin was directly related to an increase in the yield on average interest-earning assets due to a change in the composition of such assets coupled with interest received from the redemption of a non-performing tax certificate.
  • Non-interest income for the second quarter of 2017 was $943 thousand and decreased $130 thousand from $1.1 million for the second quarter of 2016. Non-interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $1.5 million and decreased $826 thousand from $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The decrease in non-interest income was primarily related to net gains on the sales of investment securities which declined $459 thousand quarter versus quarter and $826 thousand year over year.
  • Non-interest expense was $5.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $5.0 million for the same period in 2016 and increased $124 thousand. Contributing to the increase in non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2017 was $162 thousand in merger related expenses. Non-interest expense was $10.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $10.3 million for the same period in 2016 and increased $279 thousand. Contributing to the increase in non-interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $405 thousand in merger related expenses.
