Cadence Bancorporation (NYSE:CADE) (“Cadence”) today announced net income for the year ended December 31, 2018 of $166.3 million, or $1.97 per diluted common share (“per share”), compared to $102.4 million, or $1.25 per share for the year ended December 31, 2017. Net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2018 was $32.3 million, or $0.39 per diluted common share (“per share”), compared to $14.7 million, or $0.17 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2017, and $47.1 million, or $0.56 per share, in the third quarter of 2018. Tangible book value per share(1) was $13.62 in the fourth quarter of 2018, an increase of $1.29 from $12.33 per share as of December 31, 2017 and an increase of $0.47 from $13.15 for the third quarter 2018.
“We are very pleased to report to you another quarter of strong organic growth and operating performance as we conclude what has been a transformational year for Cadence,” stated Paul B. Murphy, Jr., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Cadence Bancorporation. “During 2018, our client acquisition and expansion efforts, combined with our quality markets and bankers, resulted in meaningful growth in assets and earnings as the balance sheet grew 16.3% to $12.7 billion, adjusted net income increased 42% to $174.8 million, net interest margin expanded four basis points, and the adjusted efficiency ratio improved from 54.1% for 2017 to 49.6% for 2018. Importantly, we attained these results while maintaining strong credit results, with net charge-offs of only six basis points for the second year in a row and NPAs declining as a percent of total loans and OREO during the year. Our execution remains highly customer-focused while producing excellent returns for our shareholders, most notably this year’s adjusted ROAA of 1.52%(1) and adjusted ROTCE of 16.54%(1). During the year, our strong performance allowed us to successfully execute on multiple secondary offerings resulting in our stock now being 100% publicly held, a meaningful milestone for our shareholders.
“While we are very proud of 2018, we are excited as we look toward 2019 having closed the State Bank merger on January 1, 2019. The closing of our fourth and most significant merger is another meaningful step for our organization. We enthusiastically welcome the State Bank customers and associates and look forward to serving our customers, bankers, and communities with the same passion and responsiveness they are accustomed to as we bring together two great institutions.”
At December 31, 2018, State Bank had total assets of $4.9 billion, total loans of $3.4 billion, and total deposits of $4.1 billion.

Balance Sheet:
Total assets were $12.7 billion as of December 31, 2018, an increase of $1.8 billion, or 16.3%, from December 31, 2017, and an increase of $970 million, or 8.3%, from September 30, 2018.
Loans at December 31, 2018 were $10.1 billion, an increase of $1.8 billion, or 21.8%, from December 31, 2017, and an increase of $610.1 million, or 6.5%, from September 30, 2018. Average loans for the fourth quarter of 2018 were $9.9 billion, an increase of $1.7 billion, or 20.2%, from fourth quarter of 2017, and an increase of $624.7 million, or 6.7%, from the third quarter of 2018.
Increases in loans reflect continued organic demand primarily in our energy, general C&I and residential portfolios compared to prior year, and our energy sector, CRE and residential portfolios compared to linked quarter. Growth during 2018 also included acquired mortgage loans totaling approximately $214 million as a complement to our CRA lending.
Total deposits at December 31, 2018 were $10.7 billion, an increase of $1.7 billion, or 18.8%, from December 31, 2017, and an increase of $1.2 billion, or 12.0%, from September 30, 2018. Average total deposits for the fourth quarter of 2018 were $10.0 billion, an increase of $1.4 billion, or 16.2%, from fourth quarter of 2017, and an increase of $548.9 million, or 5.8%, from third quarter of 2018.
Deposit increases were driven by growth in core customer deposits, with core deposits (total deposits excluding brokered deposits) at $9.7 billion as of December 31, 2018, up $1.5 billion, or 18.1%, from December 31, 2017, and up $839.3 million, or 9.5%, from September 30, 2018. The core deposit growth reflected across the board customer expansion as well as seasonal fourth quarter growth. Core noninterest-bearing (“NIB”) deposits grew $211.3 million, or 9.4% since December 31, 2017, and $359.2 million, or 17.1% from the third quarter 2018. Core interest-bearing (“IB”) deposits grew $1.3 billion, or 21.4% since December 31, 2017, and grew $505.1 million, or 7.5% from the prior quarter. State Bank funds on deposit with Cadence amounted to $311 million at December 31, 2018, and $96 million at September 30, 2018, allowing us to benefit partially from State Bank’s strong liquidity position in the fourth quarter of 2018 in advance of the merger.
Shareholders’ equity was $1.4 billion at December 31, 2018, an increase of $79.2 million from December 31, 2017, and an increase of $23.4 million from September 30, 2018.
- Tangible common shareholders’ equity(1) was $1.1 billion at December 31, 2018, an increase of $92.9 million from December 31, 2017, and an increase of $24.0 million from September 30, 2018. The fourth quarter 2018 increase resulted from net income of $32.3 million and an increase of $24.7 million in other comprehensive income, partially offset by dividends of $12.5 million and a repurchase of 1,127,991 common shares at an average price of $19.51 per share, or $22.0 million during the quarter as part of the share repurchase program announced in October 2018.
- Driven by strong earnings, tangible book value per share(1) was $13.62 as of December 31, 2018, an increase of $1.29 or 10.5% from $12.33 from December 31, 2017, and an increase of $0.47 or 3.6% from $13.15 as of September 30, 2018.

Asset Quality:
Credit quality reflected continued overall credit stability in the loan portfolio, with net charge-offs as a percent of average loans remaining very low during the year at 0.06% for both 2018 and 2017.
- For the quarter ended December 31, 2018, net charge-offs were $0.2 million, compared to $2.7 million and $3.1 million for the quarters ended December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2018, respectively.
- NPAs as a percent of total loans, OREO and other NPAs also remained relatively stable ending the year at 0.8% compared to 0.9% and 0.7% as of December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2018, respectively. NPAs totaled $82.4 million, $70.7 million and $62.8 million as of December 31, 2018, December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2018, respectively.
- The allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) was $94.4 million, or 0.94% of total loans, as of December 31, 2018, as compared to $87.6 million, or 1.06% of total loans, as of December 31, 2017, $86.2 million, or 0.91% of total loans, as of September 30, 2018.
- Loan loss provision was $12.7 million for 2018 compared to $9.7 million for 2017. The increase resulted primarily from robust loan growth in 2018. Loan loss provision was $8.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2018 as compared to reversals of ($4.5) million in the prior year’s quarter and ($1.4) million in the linked quarter. The fourth quarter 2018 provision was driven by the quarter’s loan growth, increased qualitative adjustments related to the recent volatility in oil prices and certain economic factors and an increase in specific reserves, partially offset by a net reduction from credit migration and pay-offs during the quarter.
Total Revenue:
Total operating revenue(1) grew for the twelfth consecutive quarter, with the fourth quarter of 2018 at $124.2 million, up 9.3% from the same period in 2017 and up 1.7% from the linked quarter. The revenue increases were primarily a result of strong loan and deposit growth during the period combined with relatively stable margins. For 2018, total operating revenue was $482.4 million compared to $426.1 million for 2017.
Net interest income reflected the continued growth in our overall business lines. Net interest income for 2018 was $387.7 million, up 19% from $326.2 million in 2017. Net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2018 was $103.1 million, an increase of $15.2 million, or 17.3%, from the same period in 2017, and an increase of $5.0 million, or 5.1%, from the third quarter of 2018. Our fully tax-equivalent NIM was relatively stable throughout 2018, and down slightly in the fourth quarter of 2018 to 3.55% as compared to 3.59% for the fourth quarter of 2017 and 3.58% for the third quarter of 2018.
Earning asset yields for the fourth quarter of 2018 were 4.95%, up 54 basis points from 4.41% in the fourth quarter of 2017, and up 15 basis points from 4.80% in the third quarter of 2018.
- Yield on loans, excluding acquired-impaired loans, increased to 5.20% for the fourth quarter of 2018, as compared to 4.47% and 5.08% for the fourth quarter of 2017 and third quarter of 2018, respectively. Approximately 71% of the loan portfolio is floating at December 31, 2018.
- Total accretion for acquired-impaired loans was $5.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2018 compared to $8.1 million from the fourth quarter of 2017, and $5.2 million in the third quarter of 2018. Recovery income was $0.9 million, $2.8 million and $0.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2018, fourth quarter of 2017, third quarter of 2018, respectively.
- Total loan yields increased to 5.32% for the fourth quarter of 2018 compared to 4.72% for the fourth quarter of 2017 and 5.18% for the third quarter of 2018.
-
Total cost of funds for the fourth quarter of 2018 was 1.51% compared
to 0.89% for the fourth quarter of 2017 and 1.33% in the linked
quarter.
- Total cost of deposits for the fourth quarter of 2018 was 1.34% compared to 0.69% for the fourth quarter of 2017, and 1.15% for the linked quarter.
- The current quarter’s increase in deposit costs reflected the nine-month cumulative lag effect of the March, June and September federal funds rate increases, consistent with our forecasted 55% total deposit beta.
Noninterest income for 2018 was $94.6 million for 2018 resulting in a decrease of 5.2% from $99.9 million for 2017 due to the sale of the insurance company assets and decrease in interchange fees due to commencement of the Durbin Amendment impact in 2018. Noninterest income for the fourth quarter of 2018 was $21.0 million, a decrease of $4.6 million, or 18.1%, from the same period of 2017 due to the insurance sale and Durbin impact, and a decrease of $3.0 million, or 12.4%, from the third quarter of 2018 due to variables in non-fee income revenues and valuations.
- Total service fees and revenue for the fourth quarter of 2018 were $21.2 million, a decrease of $1.2 million or 5.3% from the same period of 2017, and an increase of $0.7 million or 3.5% from the third quarter of 2018. As noted, the year over year quarterly decline in fees was driven by the decrease of $1.5 million in insurance revenue due to the sale of the insurance company assets in the second quarter of 2018 and to a $0.8 million decrease in interchange fees limited due to the Durbin Amendment, which applied to Cadence beginning in the third quarter of 2018. These declines were partially offset by increase of $1.8 million in credit related fees due to increased capital markets income and growth in loan originations. The linked quarter increase resulted from an increase of $1.6 million in credit related fees partially offset by market related declines in trust services revenue and investment advisory revenue, as well as a small decline in mortgage banking revenue.
Noninterest expense for 2018 was $258.3 million for 2018 compared to $233.4 million for 2017 resulting in an increase of 10.7%. Noninterest expense for the fourth quarter of 2018 was $72.7 million, an increase of $6.3 million, or 9.5%, from $66.4 million during the same period in 2017, and an increase of $11.5 million, or 18.7%, from $61.2 million for the third quarter of 2018. Adjusted noninterest expenses(1), which has been adjusted to reflect the impact of non-routine items(2), was $237.5 million for 2018 compared to $230.1 million for 2017, or an increase of 3.2%. Adjusted noninterest expenses were $60.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2018, down 3.6% from $63.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2017 and up slightly from $59.0 million in the third quarter of 2018. The changes in adjusted noninterest expenses during the periods are largely a result of lower intangible asset amortization and OREO costs during 2018, offset by modest increases in operating costs due to business and balance sheet growth.
Non-routine expenses in the fourth quarter of 2018 totaled $11.8 million and included $2.0 million in State Bank merger related expenses and $9.8 million in non-routine, specially designated bonuses granted by the Board of Directors as a result of the transition of Cadence’s ownership from being 100% owned by Cadence Bancorp, LLC (“LLC”), the original top-tier holding company, to being 100% owned by the public, significantly enhancing the liquidity of Cadence’s stock. This transition was effected through a succession of events beginning with Cadence’s IPO in April 2017, followed by a series of five successful secondary offerings, and concluding with a final distribution of stock and cash, dissolving the LLC in December 2018. Cadence (NYSE: CADE) is the surviving, publicly held holding company.
Non-routine expense in the fourth quarter of 2017 included $1.3 million of secondary offering expenses, and $2.0 million related to legal expenses associated with a legacy bank matter resolved in 2018. Non-routine expense in the third quarter of 2018 included $2.0 million in secondary offering expenses and $0.2 million in merger expenses.
Our efficiency ratio(1) for 2018 was 53.6% compared to 54.8% for 2017. The efficiency ratio in the current quarter was impacted by the noted non-routine expenses, with the fourth quarter of 2018 at 58.6%, as compared to the fourth quarter of 2017 and third quarter of 2018 ratios of 58.4% and 50.2%, respectively. Excluding non-routine revenues and expenses, the adjusted efficiency ratio(1) was 49.6% for 2018 and 54.1% for 2017. The adjusted efficiency ratio was 49.0% for the fourth quarter of 2018. This compares to an adjusted efficiency ratio of 55.6% and 48.4% for the fourth quarter of 2017 and third quarter of 2018, respectively.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Certain of the financial measures and ratios we present, including “efficiency ratio,” “adjusted efficiency ratio,” “adjusted noninterest expenses,” “adjusted operating revenue,” “tangible common equity ratio,” “tangible book value per share” and “return on average tangible common equity,” “adjusted return on average tangible common equity,” “adjusted return on average assets,” “adjusted diluted earnings per share,” and “pre-tax, pre-provision net earnings,” are supplemental measures that are not required by, or are not presented in accordance with, U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). We refer to these financial measures and ratios as “non-GAAP financial measures.” We consider the use of select non-GAAP financial measures and ratios to be useful for financial and 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 or by presenting certain metrics on a fully taxable equivalent basis. 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.
These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP and you should not rely on non-GAAP financial measures alone as measures of our performance. The non-GAAP financial measures we present may differ from non-GAAP financial measures used by our peers or other companies. 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. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures is included at the end of the financial statement tables (Table 7).
