UCFC - UCFC Announces Strong Earnings for the First Quarter and a Dividend of $0.07 Per Common Share

United Community Financial Corp. (Company) (NASDAQ: UCFC), parent company of Home Savings Bank (Home Savings), today announced net income of $8.7 million, or $0.176 per diluted common share (“EPS”) for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to $0.171 EPS, or $8.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

First quarter 2019 highlights:

  • ROA of 1.22%, ROE of 10.99% and ROTE of 11.90%
  • Net loan growth of 7.1%, annualized on a linked quarter basis
  • Average customer deposit growth of 6.1% comparing first quarter 2019 to first quarter 2018
  • Net interest margin of 3.38%
  • Noninterest income growth of 4.4% comparing first quarter 2019 to first quarter 2018, 13.1% when adjusted for a change in mortgage servicing rights valuation
  • Repurchase of 328,000 shares, or approximately 0.7% of outstanding shares

Gary M. Small, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company commented, “We are pleased with Q1 performance as our loan and deposit growth came in right on target, margin met expectations during an unpredictable interest rate environment, and our residential mortgage, wealth and insurance business units experienced strong revenue growth.”

Small further commented, “The year began a bit softer than normal as clients seemed to strike a cautious stance while evaluating the impact of Q4 market uncertainty. Activity levels picked up over the course of the quarter, the residential mortgage business began to benefit from the lower rate environment, and we enter Q2 in a good position.”

Solid Loan Growth

Total net loans grew $38.7 million on a linked quarter basis, or 7.1% annualized, in the first quarter of 2019. Commercial loan growth was $31.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, an annualized growth rate of 13.5% on a linked quarter basis. Residential mortgage loans increased $9.0 million when comparing the linked quarters, or 3.7% annualized.

Strong Business Deposit and Noninterest Bearing Deposit Growth

Average customer deposit growth was 6.1% when comparing the first quarter of 2019 to the first quarter of 2018. Average noninterest bearing deposits grew $31.3 million, or 8.4%, from March of 2018 to March of 2019 while average business deposits grew $58.8 million, or 24.0%, and average public funds grew $29.2 million, or 27.5%, over this same time frame.

Net Interest Income and Margin

Net interest income totaled $22.3 million on a fully taxable equivalent (FTE) basis for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, compared to $21.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2018, an increase of 3.0%. First quarter 2018 net interest income includes a onetime fee recognition from the early payoff of a single loan and a higher level of purchase accounting accretion income versus 2019. Adjusting for these two items, the increase in first quarter net interest income would be 7.0%.

The net interest margin on an FTE basis was 3.38% for the first quarter of 2019 compared to 3.47% for the similar period last year. The net interest margin during the first quarter of 2018 was positively impacted by the payoff of a single loan that added approximately 8 basis points to the reported margin. Also included in the margin for both years are purchase accounting yield adjustments aggregating 6 and 9 basis points respectively for 2019 and 2018. Absent of both the early payoff and the purchase accounting adjustments the net interest margin for the first quarter of 2019 would be 3.32% compared to 3.30% for the same time period last year.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income increased to $6.1 million in the first quarter of 2019, compared to $5.8 million in the first quarter of 2018, an increase of 4.4%. Excluding the unfavorable mortgage servicing rights valuation adjustment in the first quarter of 2019, non-interest income would have increased by 13.1%. Mortgage banking income was up 23.4%. Insurance agency income was up 21.5% along with wealth fees being up 12.6%. These increases helped offset the impact of the negative mortgage servicing rights valuation adjustment.

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense was $17.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 compared to $16.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2018, or a 6.5% increase. Non-interest expense for the first quarter of 2019 also included charges of $650,000 for organizational restructuring of the retail and wealth business units. Absent of the organizational restructure charges the increase in non-interest expense is 2.6% for the same period. The Company’s efficiency ratio was 62.29%.

Credit Quality

Credit quality metrics continue to show very favorably during the first quarter of 2019. The ratio of nonperforming loans to net loans was 0.32% at March 31, 2019, which is down from 0.59% reported at March 31, 2018. Total nonperforming commercial loans remain low at $2.0 million as of March 31, 2019 or 0.20% of total commercial loans. Total nonperforming assets to assets was 0.34% at March 31, 2019, while total delinquent loans to net loans was 0.41% for the same period. These ratios were 0.65% and 0.81%, respectively, at March 31, 2018.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2019, the Company recognized total net charge offs of $58,000 or one basis point as a percentage of average loans.

The Company’s provision for loan losses totaled $61,000 for the first quarter of 2019, which was down from the $407,000 reported in the first quarter of 2018. As of March 31, 2019, the Company’s allowance for loan losses to total loans was 0.91%, versus 1.04% at March 31, 2018. Also at March 31, 2019 the allowance for loan loss as a percent of nonperforming loans totaled 287.7%.

Loans acquired through acquisition during the first quarter of 2017 were recorded at fair value. When combining the remaining fair value adjustment of $1.7 million and the Company’s allowance, the Company’s allowance as a percentage total loans increases to .99%.

Capital Management and Tangible Book Value per Share

During the first quarter of 2019, the Company repurchased 328,000 shares. The Company had remaining 1,545,000 shares authorized for repurchase as of March 31, 2019. Tangible book value per common share at March 31, 2019 was $5.95 compared to $5.45 at March 31, 2018.

Dividend Declaration

On April 16, 2019, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.07 per common share. The dividend is payable May 10, 2019 to shareholders of record at the close of business April 29, 2019.
