Atlantic Coast Financial Corporation (Atlantic Coast or the Company) (NASDAQ: ACFC), the holding company for Atlantic Coast Bank (the Bank), today reported that earnings per diluted share increased to $0.10 for the first quarter ended March 31, 2016, from $0.03 for the first quarter last year.
The Company's results for the first quarter of 2016 included a gain on the sale of investment securities in February 2016 totaling $0.8 million. The investment securities transaction added approximately $0.5 million to net income, or $0.03 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2016. Excluding the transaction, core earnings per diluted share of $0.07 for the first quarter of 2016 more than doubled from $0.03 per diluted share for the first quarter last year. Core earnings per diluted share is a non-GAAP financial measure, and a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures is presented on page 4.
Commenting on the Company's results, John K. Stephens, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "The strength of our first quarter results reflected a number of factors, including an increase in total loans over the course of the quarter, due to solid production in all of our lines of business. Also contributing to our earnings momentum was a significant gain on the sale of investment securities and ongoing, across-the-board improvements in key credit quality metrics. Our employees have continued to focus on building strong relationships across our markets, laying the groundwork for new business opportunities for Atlantic Coast everyday. Considering our earnings growth, credit quality and strong capital position, as well as the dedication of our team to continually enhance the role we play in banking for the communities we serve, we believe Atlantic Coast is well-positioned for success throughout the remainder of 2016, which will further benefit both our customers and stockholders."
Other significant highlights of the first quarter of 2016 include:
- Net interest income improved to $6.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, from $4.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Additionally, net interest spread and net interest margin improved to 2.88% and 2.99%, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2016, from 2.40% and 2.62%, respectively, for the same quarter last year.
- Total loans (including portfolio loans, loans held-for-sale, and warehouse loans held-for-investment) increased 10% to $721.5 million at March 31, 2016, from $654.2 million at December 31, 2015, primarily reflecting originations in all lines of business and supplemented by selective loan acquisitions.
- Nonperforming assets, as a percentage of total assets, decreased to 0.86% at March 31, 2016, from 0.87% at December 31, 2015, and 1.16% at March 31, 2015.
- Total assets increased to $893.0 million at March 31, 2016, from $857.2 million at December 31, 2015, primarily due to an increase in loans during the quarter, which was partially offset by a decrease in investment securities.
- The Bank's ratios of total risk-based capital to risk-weighted assets and Tier 1 (core) capital to adjusted total assets were 13.08% and 9.20%, respectively, at March 31, 2016, and each continued to exceed the levels – 10% and 5%, respectively – currently required for the Bank to be considered well-capitalized.
Tracy L. Keegan, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, added, "The first quarter of 2016 was the ninth consecutive profitable quarter for Atlantic Coast. During the quarter, we continued to strengthen our balance sheet and expand net interest spread and net interest margin, which were up 48 and 37 basis points, respectively, compared with that of the same period in 2015. As a result, our net interest income increased 38% compared with the first quarter of 2015, while earnings per diluted share grew 233% on a comparable basis. Additionally, during the quarter, the market provided us with an opportunity to sell certain investment securities with low fixed-rate yields, which we expect will improve our long-term interest rate risk position. As our growth and earnings strategies pay off, we continue to gain momentum across our market footprint and create greater value for our stockholders."

Overall, the Company's credit quality remains strong, as the number and balance of loans reclassified to nonperforming and other real estate owned (OREO) have stabilized. Nonperforming assets at March 31, 2016, were slightly higher than those at December 31, 2015, due to additional loans being reclassified to nonperforming, where were partially offset by principal reductions and loan payoffs of existing nonperforming loans. Nonperforming assets at March 31, 2016, were lower than those at March 31, 2015, primarily due to net reductions of OREO, partially offset by a slight increase in nonperforming loans.

The provision for portfolio loan losses was relatively unchanged in the first quarter of 2016 compared with that of the first and fourth quarters of 2015, reflecting solid economic conditions in the Company's markets during the current year, which has led to continued low levels of net charge-offs over the past 12 months. The increase in the allowance for portfolio loan losses at March 31, 2016, from December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2015, primarily was attributable to loan growth, which reflected an approximately equal mix of organic growth and loan purchases, partially offset by principal amortization and increased prepayments of one- to four-family residential mortgages and home equity loans. Management believes the allowance for portfolio loan losses as of March 31, 2016, is sufficient to absorb losses in portfolio loans as of the end of the period. The decline in net charge-offs in the first quarter of 2016 compared with those of the same quarter in 2015 primarily reflected a decrease in charge-offs in one- to four-family residential loans and home equity loans, partially offset by an increase in charge-offs in consumer loans, including auto loans and manufactured home loans.

The increase in net interest margin during the first quarter of 2016 compared with net interest margin for the prior year first quarter primarily reflected a decrease in rates paid on borrowed funds, as the Company benefited from the prepayment and restructuring of some of its high-cost wholesale debt during the second quarter of 2015. Also contributing to the increase in net interest margin was an increase in higher-margin interest-earning assets outstanding, as the Company redeployed excess liquidity to grow its portfolio loans, loans held-for-sale, and warehouse loans held-for-investment.

The increase in noninterest income for the first quarter of 2016 compared with noninterest income for the first and fourth quarters of 2015 primarily reflected higher gains on the sale of investment securities. The increase in noninterest expense during the first quarter of 2016 compared with noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2015 reflected increased incentive compensation costs associated with the Company's continuing growth strategies. The decrease in noninterest expense during the first quarter of 2016 compared with the fourth quarter of 2015 was due to a decrease in foreclosed asset expense, partially offset by an increase in incentive compensation costs.
The increase in income tax expense for the first quarter of 2016 compared with income tax expense for the first and fourth quarters of 2015 reflected increased income from operations.

In conjunction with the Company's recent expansion into additional attractive markets in Florida, Atlantic Coast completed the sale of its retail branch in Garden City, Georgia, after the end of the first quarter of 2016, in order to better align its footprint with long-term strategic goals. The branch sale did not have a material impact on the Company's assets, loan portfolio or earnings. Despite this sale, the Company intends to increase its commercial banking and mortgage origination efforts in the Savannah, Georgia market.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes the discussion of non-GAAP financial measures: core earnings and core earnings per diluted share. A "non-GAAP financial measure" is generally defined as a numerical measure of a company's historical or future financial performance, financial position, or cashflows that either excludes or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments, so as to be different from the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Core earnings and core earnings per diluted share are terms that are not defined by GAAP and should be viewed in addition to, and not in lieu of, net income and income per diluted share on a GAAP basis. Core earnings excludes the effects of certain transactions that occurred during the period, as detailed in the following reconciliation of these measures.

Atlantic Coast management believes that the non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with GAAP financial measures, provide information that is useful to investors in understanding period-over-period operating results separate and apart from items that may, or could, have a disproportionately positive or negative impact on results in any particular period. Atlantic Coast management also believes that the non-GAAP financial measures enhance the ability of investors to analyze the Company's business trends and to understand the Company's performance. In addition, the Company may utilize non-GAAP financial measures as guides in forecasting, budgeting and long-term planning processes and to measure operating performance for some management compensation purposes. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
