Diluted Earnings Per Share Increases 2% to $0.46

LOUISVILLE, Ky.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 26, 2017--Stock Yards Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: SYBT), parent company of Stock Yards Bank & Trust Company, with offices in the Louisville, Indianapolis and Cincinnati metropolitan markets, today reported results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2017, with net income increasing 5% to $10.6 million or $0.46 per diluted share from $10.1 million or $0.45 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2016. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2017, increased 7% to $21.4 million or $0.92 per diluted share from $19.9 million or $0.88 per diluted share.

The Company's performance for the second quarter of 2017 reflected several positive factors, including:

"We are pleased to report another solid performance by the Company for the second quarter, highlighted by growth in our loan portfolio, the continuation of solid credit quality metrics, and ongoing market penetration by wealth management and trust," said David P. Heintzman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "While we are gratified to see a continued strengthening in our business generally and a rebound in our loan portfolio compared with a first quarter decline, we had anticipated even greater loan growth in the first half based on the strength of our loan pipeline and the high loan production levels we have sustained. Additionally, the expected benefit of a March prime rate increase was countered by higher deposit rates on certain accounts and the effects of liquidity and a flattening of the yield curve during the second quarter, which pressured net interest margin for the period. Still, we remain confident in the long-term growth prospects ahead for the Company and continue to expect an improved performance in the second half of the year."


The pace of loan production remained strong in the second quarter, tracking the Company's three-year average, Heintzman said. Each market contributed to Stock Yards Bancorp's increasing pipeline, but particularly the Company's largest market – Louisville. Loan production in the Company's core lines of business – notably commercial and industrial – continues to grow steadily and recent prime rate increases have not affected loan demand. However, several factors have restrained the more robust loan growth the Company expected for the second quarter, including significant loan principal repayments primarily related to commercial construction projects, where maturing loans were not replaced with permanent financing, and from commercial real estate borrowers who sold collateral or their business. These transitions did not result in a loss of customers, since they normally have other significant relationships with the Bank, but these events nonetheless temporarily subdue net loan growth. Also, business owners seem to be taking a more cautious stance given mounting uncertainty around important legislation and changes to the regulatory environment now under consideration in Washington and how the resulting changes might affect the overall direction of the economy. Despite these headwinds, and considering the strength of the Company's loan pipeline, management anticipates increasing momentum in net loan growth during the second half of the year, resulting in an overall mid-single digit percentage increase in the loan portfolio for the year.

Heintzman also noted that the Company's fee-based income continued to make a significant contribution to the Company's results for the second quarter. For the quarter, fee-based income increased to 31.5% of total revenue from 29.8% in the first quarter of 2017 and 30.8% in the year-earlier quarter. Again, wealth management and trust, accounting for nearly half of the Company's fee-based income, contributed most significantly to the increase in fee income for the quarter versus the year-earlier quarter. With approximately $2.64 billion of assets under management, its growth reflected primarily the addition of new customer relationships along with stock market gains during the quarter.

"Looking ahead to the second half of 2017, we are excited about the opportunities we see before us," Heintzman said in concluding. "We remain confident in our ability to again deliver a solid performance for the year, chiefly due to the attractive loan pipeline we have in place, our continued strength in key lending sectors that are vital to the Louisville economy, and the city's growing prominence among national developers that increasingly consider our area for new projects. Anticipated and ongoing growth of fee income also factors into our outlook, especially with respect to wealth management and trust, which diversifies our sources of income and differentiates Stock Yards Bank and Trust from most other community banks. While net interest margin may remain pressured going forward, we believe the Company's strategic positioning across its markets will allow Stock Yards Bank & Trust to maintain its position as one of the nation's high-performing community banks."

Total assets increased $217 million or 7% at June 30, 2017, to $3.13 billion from $2.91 billion at June 30, 2016. Ongoing growth in the Company's loan portfolio primarily accounted for this increase, as the portfolio rose $134 million or 6% to $2.31 billion at June 30, 2017, from $2.18 billion at June 30, 2016. Increasing deposit balances continue to provide substantial support for the Company's balance sheet growth; total deposits advanced $129 million or 5% to $2.48 billion at June 30, 2017, from $2.35 billion at June 30, 2016, reflecting growth from both existing and new customers and across most account categories, including non-interest bearing accounts. Core deposits, which exclude brokered deposits and time deposits greater than $250,000, held steady at 99% of total deposits as of June 30, 2017.

Stock Yards Bancorp remained "well capitalized" in the second quarter of 2017– the highest capital rating for financial institutions. The Company's tangible common equity ratio as of June 30, 2017, was 10.38% (tangible common equity is a non-GAAP financial measure; see reconciliation of total stockholders' equity to tangible common equity and total assets to tangible assets later in this release).


With this capital strength, Stock Yards Bancorp continues to pursue strategies to enhance stockholder value, including a substantial and sustained dividend payout ratio. In May 2017, Stock Yards Bancorp's Board of Directors reinforced the Company's interest in growing stockholder value by increasing the quarterly cash dividend 5% to $0.20 per common share. Since the beginning of 2012, the Company has raised its quarterly dividend rate a total of 10 times, including two increases in each of the past three years, resulting in a cumulative increase of 58%. Meanwhile, the Company has maintained financial flexibility to pursue strategic expansion and acquisition opportunities that may arise. Management believes Stock Yards Bancorp's stockholders appreciate this capital strength for the stability and potential for expansion it provides and, at the same time, welcome the consistently strong returns the Company produces.

Net interest income – the Company's largest source of revenue – increased approximately $1.3 million or 5% to $25.2 million in the second quarter of 2017 from $24.0 million in the prior-year quarter. The increase reflected ongoing growth in the Company's loan portfolio and higher interest rates on earning assets, net of the impact of a recent rise in funding costs, primarily in the form of higher deposit rates. Net interest income increased $3.0 million or 6% to $50.4 million in the first half of 2017 from $47.4 million in the prior-year period.

On a sequential-quarter basis, net interest income increased $73 thousand from the first quarter of 2017, while net interest margin (on a fully tax-equivalent basis) was 3.60% compared with 3.63% in the first quarter of 2017 and 3.59% in the second quarter of 2016. Despite the Federal Open Market Committee's action to raise the federal funds target rate in March, which increased the prime lending rate to 4%, the Company acted proactively to pass on a significant portion of the resulting increase in interest income to retail deposit customers in the form of higher savings and money market rates. These account holders have not seen an increase in their rates in nearly 10 years. The Company's normalized or core net interest margin (core net interest margin is a non-GAAP financial measure; see reconciliation of net interest margin to core interest margin later in this release) was 3.62% for the second quarter of 2017, down two basis points from the first quarter of 2017 and up two basis points versus the second quarter of 2016. The primary reasons for the pressure on net interest margin was an unexpected flattening of the yield curve over the past several months and heightened competition on pricing. Excess liquidity also continues to affect net interest margin; however, those deposit relationships remain profitable.

The 25 basis point rate hike approved on June 15 occurred too late to benefit second quarter net interest margin. Increasing the prime rate to 4.25%, it did allow virtually all of the variable rate loans in the Company's portfolio to break through any remaining rate floors. Accordingly, these loans will enhance net interest margin going forward, to the extent not offset generally by the current flat yield curve. Approximately 61% of the Company's loans are priced at fixed rates, so recent and future rate increases will not benefit the Company appreciably with respect to this part of the portfolio until existing fixed-rate loans renew and new fixed-rate loans originate at higher rates. Future increases in interest rate levels also could put additional upward pressure on deposit costs.

The Company's solid asset quality metrics, which have trended within a narrow range over the past several years, remained at historically strong levels for the second quarter of 2017. Non-performing loans (NPLs) totaled $6.1 million or 0.26% of total loans outstanding at June 30, 2017, versus $6.1 million or 0.27% of total loans outstanding at March 31, 2017, and $6.4 million or 0.29% of total loans outstanding at June 30, 2016. Similarly, non-performing assets, which include NPLs along with other real estate owned and repossessed assets (OREO), were $9.3 million or 0.30% of total assets at June 30, 2017, down from $10.1 million or 0.33% of total assets at March 31, 2017, and $11.5 million or 0.40% of total assets at June 30, 2016. A net recovery of charge-offs in the second quarter of 2017 totaled $34 thousand versus net charge-offs of $426 thousand in the first quarter of 2017 and $60 thousand in the second quarter of 2016. While the Company is very pleased with these strong asset quality metrics, management recognizes the cyclic nature of banking and believes these metrics will normalize over the long term.


Reflecting a number of factors, including loan growth and qualitative considerations, the Company recorded a loan loss provision of $600 thousand during the second quarter of 2017 compared with $900 thousand in the first quarter of 2017 and $750 thousand in the second quarter of 2016. The provision for the second quarter of 2017 took into account both the generally favorable trend in most asset quality statistics, offset somewhat by a slight increase in the level of classified loans and a potential exposure for one group of classified loans noted during the Company's quarterly review. As a result, the Company's allowance for loan losses remained adequate in management's view at 1.09% of total loans as of June 30, 2017, versus 1.08% at March 31, 2017, and 1.06% at June 30, 2016.

Total non-interest income in the second quarter of 2017 increased $897 thousand or 8% to $11.7 million from $10.8 million in the prior-year quarter. This increase reflected primarily higher income from various sources, including wealth management and trust, bank-owned life insurance, which included a death benefit of $348 thousand, and increased service charges related to both deposit accounts and treasury and cash management services. These increases were offset partially by a decline in gains on sales of mortgage loans held for sale as the market for home refinancing continues to slow and the inventory of homes for sale tightens. Total non-interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2017, increased $1.6 million or 8% to $22.5 million from $20.9 million in the prior-year period, reflecting trends similar to those noted for the second quarter.

Total non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2017 increased approximately $1.2 million or 6% to $21.3 million from $20.2 million in the prior-year quarter. The increase primarily reflected the impact of personnel added to support growth and operations and, to a lesser extent, health insurance costs under the Company's self-insured plan. Additionally, the amortization of investments in tax-credit partnerships was lower compared with the year-earlier quarter; the timing of these investments can cause the expense and corresponding tax benefits to vary widely. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, total non-interest expense increased $2.8 million or 7% to $42.5 million from $39.7 million for the same period last year, largely reflecting the same trends noted for the quarter.

The following table provides a reconciliation of net interest margin in accordance with US GAAP to core net interest margin, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. Core net interest margin excludes the effects of prepayment penalty income from borrowers and excess liquidity, which the Company defines as the combined amount of federal funds sold and short-term securities available for sale, typically maturing in one week or less, in excess of $60 million. The Company provides this information to illustrate sequentially the trend in quarterly net interest margin to show the impact of those items on net interest margin.
