Fourth Quarter 2019 Operating Results

Net Interest Income

  • Net interest income was $128.1 million for fourth quarter 2019 compared to $87.1 million for fourth quarter 2018 and $125.4 million for third quarter 2019. The increase in net interest income from the previous year was primarily due to increased average earning assets and purchase accounting accretion resulting primarily from the acquisition of Guaranty Bancorp. The increase from the linked quarter is primarily due to decreased interest expense as a result of a declining interest rate environment.
  • The average balance of total interest-earning assets grew by $4.6 billion and totaled $13.3 billion for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 compared to $8.7 billion for the quarter ended December 31, 2018 and increased $355.8 million from $13.0 billion for the quarter ended September 30, 2019. The increase from the prior year was primarily due to $3.4 billion in earning assets acquired in the Guaranty transaction as well as organic growth. The increase from the linked quarter is primarily related to an increase in average loan balances including mortgage warehouse purchase loans.
  • The yield on interest-earning assets was 4.90% for fourth quarter 2019 compared to 5.15% for fourth quarter 2018 and 5.06% for third quarter 2019. The decrease from the prior year was due primarily to lower rates on interest-earning assets due to decreases in the Fed Funds rate during the last half of 2019, off-set by increased acquired loan accretion due to the Guaranty acquisition. The decrease from the linked quarter is primarily due to lower loan yields, which decreased 15 basis points excluding accretion, offset by a slight increase in loan accretion from the linked quarter.
  • The cost of interest-bearing liabilities, including borrowings, was 1.54% for fourth quarter 2019 compared to 1.64% for fourth quarter 2018 and 1.72% for third quarter 2019. The decrease from the prior year and linked quarter is primarily due to lower rates offered on our deposits, primarily commercial money market accounts, resulting from decreases in interest rates on deposit products tied to Fed Funds rates, as well as rate decreases on short-term FHLB advances and our other debt.
  • The net interest margin was 3.81% for fourth quarter 2019 compared to 3.98% for fourth quarter 2018 and 3.84% for third quarter 2019. The adjusted (non-GAAP) net interest margin, which excludes unexpected accretion on loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality, was 3.79% for fourth quarter 2019 compared to 3.93% for fourth quarter 2018 and 3.82% for third quarter 2019. The decrease in net interest margin from the prior year and linked quarter was primarily due to the three decreases in the Fed funds rate during the last half of the 2019. In addition, the quarter ended December 31, 2019 includes $10.8 million of loan accretion versus $9.9 million in third quarter 2019. The net interest margin excluding all loan accretion decreased five basis points to 3.49% for fourth quarter 2019 compared to 3.54% in third quarter 2019 primarily as a result of lower loan yields.

Noninterest Income

  • Total noninterest income increased $8.3 million compared to fourth quarter 2018 and decreased $9.1 million compared to third quarter 2019.
  • The increase from the prior year primarily reflects increases of $2.3 million in service charges, $2.1 million in investment advisory and trust services, $548 thousand in earnings on bank owned life insurance and $1.4 million in other noninterest income all resulting primarily from the additional accounts acquired in the Guaranty transaction. Additionally, the increase reflects a $1.3 million gain on sale of the trust business, which was sold in October 2019.
  • The decrease from the linked quarter primarily reflects decreases of $982 thousand in mortgage banking and $8.3 million in gains from the sales of two loan pools and a branch recorded in third quarter offset by the trust sale in fourth quarter noted above. The decrease in mortgage revenue is primarily a result of seasonality in the market demand.

Noninterest Expense

  • Total noninterest expense increased $28.5 million compared to fourth quarter 2018 and increased $3.4 million compared to third quarter 2019.
  • The increase in noninterest expense compared to fourth quarter 2018 is due primarily to increases of $12.5 million in salaries and benefits, $3.2 million in occupancy expenses, $1.5 million in data processing, $1.7 million in amortization of other intangibles, $2.0 million in professional fees, $4.8 million in acquisition expense, and $2.0 million in other noninterest expense. The overall increase in salaries and benefits, occupancy, data processing, amortization of other intangibles and other noninterest expense from the prior year is reflective of additional headcount, branch locations and accounts acquired in the January 2019 Guaranty transaction as well as organic growth during the year. Salaries and benefits also includes a $3.0 million expense related to the separation arrangement with a former executive officer. Professional fees increased due to higher legal expenses related to ongoing acquired litigation, and increased consulting expenses related to various projects and new system implementations. The increase in acquisition expense is primarily a result of investment banker and due diligence-related costs totaling $5.0 million related to the announced merger of equals with Texas Capital Bancshares, Inc.
  • The increase from the linked quarter is primarily related to increases of $4.5 million in salaries and benefits, $3.1 million in FDIC assessment, $1.1 million in professional fees offset by decreases of $4.2 million in acquisition expense and $1.7 million in other noninterest expense. The increase in salaries and benefits expense is primarily a result of the executive separation arrangement discussed above as well as increases in contract labor and incentives for deposit growth. The increase in FDIC assessment is related to a $3.2 million Small Bank Assessment Credit recorded in third quarter 2019. The increase in professional fees is due to higher legal and consulting expenses discussed above. Acquisition expense was elevated in the third quarter due to contract terminations and other expense related to the Guaranty deal. The decrease in other noninterest expense is primarily due to $1.2 million of impairments on other assets related to a CRA SBIC fund and a lease right-of-use asset on a closed branch recognized in third quarter 2019.

Provision for Loan Losses

  • Provision for loan loss was $1.6 million for fourth quarter 2019, a decrease of $1.3 million compared to $2.9 million for fourth quarter 2018 and a decrease of $3.6 million compared to $5.2 million for third quarter 2019. Provision expense is primarily reflective of organic loan growth as well as charge-offs or specific reserves taken during the respective period. The decrease from prior year and the linked quarter was mainly due to a decline in loan growth during fourth quarter 2019. In addition, provision expense was elevated in third quarter 2019 due to two commercial credits which were charged-off during third quarter in excess of the specific reserves placed on them in previous periods.
  • The allowance for loan losses was $51.5 million, or 0.47% of total loans held for investment, net of mortgage warehouse purchase loans, at December 31, 2019, compared to $44.8 million, or 0.58% at December 31, 2018, and compared to $50.4 million, or 0.46% at September 30, 2019. The dollar increase from prior year is primarily due to additional general reserves for organic loan growth. In addition, the decrease in the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans from prior year reflects that loans acquired in the Guaranty transaction were recorded at fair value without an allowance at the respective acquisition date.

Income Taxes

  • Federal income tax expense of $14.1 million was recorded for the quarter ended December 31, 2019, an effective rate of 21.9% compared to tax expense of $8.3 million and an effective rate of 19.6% for the quarter ended December 31, 2018 and tax expense of $14.9 million and an effective rate of 21.1% for the quarter ended September 30, 2019. The increase in the effective tax rate compared to prior year is a result of increased state income tax expense.

Fourth Quarter 2019 Balance Sheet Highlights

Loans

  • Total loans held for investment, net of mortgage warehouse purchase loans, were $10.9 billion at December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2019 and $7.7 billion at December 31, 2018. Despite flat balances in fourth quarter 2019, loans held for investment increased $3.2 billion from December 31, 2018, or 41.6%, $2.8 billion of which was acquired in the Guaranty acquisition, and $505.3 million of which was organic growth, or 4.8% for the year over year period, offset by $792 thousand of loans transferred with the branch sale.
  • Average mortgage warehouse purchase loans were $575.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 compared to $434.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2019, representing an increase of $140.8 million, or 32.4% for the quarter, and compared to $120.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2018, an increase of $454.0 million, or 375.5% year over year. The change from the linked quarter and prior year quarter is reflective of the Company's focused attention to grow the warehouse line of business during the respective periods.
  • Commercial real estate (CRE) loans were $5.9 billion at December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2019, and $4.1 billion at December 31, 2018, or 50.4%, 51.0% and 52.3% of total loans, respectively.

Asset Quality

  • Total nonperforming assets increased to $31.5 million, or 0.21% of total assets at December 31, 2019, compared to $18.4 million or 0.12% of total assets at September 30, 2019, and increased from $16.9 million, or 0.17% of total assets at December 31, 2018.
  • Total nonperforming loans increased to $26.6 million, or 0.24% of total loans at December 31, 2019, from $11.9 million, or 0.11% of total loans at September 30, 2019, and increased from $12.6 million, or 0.16% of total loans at December 31, 2018.
  • The increase in nonperforming loans and nonperforming assets from the linked quarter and prior year is primarily due to a $14.5 million commercial energy loan that has matured and is pending workout at the end of fourth quarter 2019. The net increase in nonperforming assets from the linked quarter was also offset from a partial write down and subsequent sale of a $1.5 million other real estate owned property.
  • Charge-offs were 0.02% annualized in the fourth quarter 2019 compared to 0.21% annualized in the linked quarter and 0.01% annualized in the prior year quarter. Charge-offs were elevated in third quarter 2019 due to charge-offs totaling $5.6 million on two commercial credits.

Deposits and Borrowings

  • Total deposits were $11.9 billion at December 31, 2019 compared to $11.7 billion at September 30, 2019 and compared to $7.7 billion at December 31, 2018. The increase in deposits from the linked quarter is primarily due to $213.5 million of organic growth, or 7.2% for the quarter, annualized. The increase in deposits from the prior year is due to $3.1 billion of deposits acquired in the Guaranty acquisition, as well as organic growth of $1.1 billion, or 10.4%, for the year over year period, offset by $27.7 million of deposits transferred with the branch sale.
  • Total borrowings (other than junior subordinated debentures) were $527.3 million at December 31, 2019, a decrease of $240.4 million from September 30, 2019 and an increase of $99.9 million from December 31, 2018. The change in the linked quarter and prior year reflects the use of short-term FHLB advances as needed for liquidity and to fund mortgage warehouse purchase loans. The change from the prior year also reflects the addition of $40 million in subordinated debt assumed in the Guaranty acquisition as well as $24.5 million in borrowings against the Company's unsecured revolving line of credit with an unrelated commercial bank.

Capital

  • Independent Bank Group is well capitalized under regulatory guidelines. At December 31, 2019, our estimated common equity Tier 1 to risk-weighted assets, Tier 1 capital to average assets, Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets and total capital to risk-weighted asset ratios were 9.76%, 9.32%, 10.19% and 11.83%, respectively, compared to 9.42%, 9.21%, 9.85%, and 11.49%, respectively, at September 30, 2019.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to results presented in accordance with GAAP, this press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. These measures and ratios include "adjusted net income," "adjusted earnings," "tangible book value," "tangible book value per common share," "adjusted efficiency ratio," "tangible common equity to tangible assets," "adjusted net interest margin," "return on tangible equity," "adjusted return on average assets" and "adjusted return on average equity" and are supplemental measures that are not required by, or are not presented in accordance with, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. We consider the use of select non-GAAP financial measures and ratios to be useful for financial operational decision making and useful in evaluating period-to-period comparisons. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by excluding certain expenditures or assets that we believe are not indicative of our primary business operating results. We believe that management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our performance and when planning, forecasting, analyzing and comparing past, present and future periods.

We believe that these measures provide useful information to management and investors that is supplementary to our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows computed in accordance with GAAP; however we acknowledge that our financial measures have a number of limitations relative to GAAP financial measures. Certain non-GAAP financial measures exclude items of income, expenditures, expenses, assets, or liabilities, including provisions for loan losses and the effect of goodwill, other intangible assets and income from accretion on acquired loans arising from purchase accounting adjustments, that we believe cause certain aspects of our results of operations or financial condition to be not indicative of our primary operating results. All of these items significantly impact our financial statements. Additionally, the items that we exclude in our adjustments are not necessarily consistent with the items that our peers may exclude from their results of operations and key financial measures and therefore may limit the comparability of similarly named financial measures and ratios. We compensate for these limitations by providing the equivalent GAAP measures whenever we present the non-GAAP financial measures and by including a reconciliation of the impact of the components adjusted for in the non- GAAP financial measure so that both measures and the individual components may be considered when analyzing our performance.
