COASTWAY BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

 

(1)                                 Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

 

General information

 

Coastway Bancorp, Inc., a Maryland chartered stock corporation (“Company” or “Corporation”), was formed to serve as the holding company for Coastway Community Bank.  Coastway Community Bank (the “Bank”) is a Rhode Island-chartered savings bank.  The Bank provides a variety of financial services to individuals and small businesses throughout Rhode Island.  Its primary deposit products are savings, demand, money market and term certificate accounts and its primary lending products are one-to four-family residential mortgage loans, home equity loans and lines of credit, commercial real estate and SBA loans.  Prior to January 14, 2014, the Bank was 100% owned by Coastway Bancorp, LLC (the “LLC”) and the LLC was 100% owned by Coastway Bancorp, MHC (“MHC”).

 

Stock Conversion

 

On August 22, 2013, the Board of Directors of the MHC, LLC and the Bank adopted the Plan of Conversion and Reorganization (“Conversion”) to convert the MHC from the mutual holding company form of organization to the stock holding company form of organization with a new Maryland-chartered stock corporation, Coastway Bancorp, Inc.

 

On January 14, 2014, the Conversion was completed and Coastway Bancorp, Inc. became the parent holding company for Coastway Community Bank.  A total of 4,827,125 shares of Corporation common stock were sold to depositors and to the general public, including those issued to the Corporation’s tax-qualified employee benefit plans, at $10.00 per share through which the Corporation received net offering proceeds of approximately $46.3 million.  Also, on January 14, 2014, the Corporation contributed $300,000 in cash and 122,054 shares of common stock to Coastway Cares Charitable Foundation II which together totaled 3.15% of the gross proceeds of the offering totaling $1.5 million which was recorded as a component of non-interest expense during the three months ended March 31, 2014.  The total number of shares of common stock outstanding upon completion of the Conversion was 4,949,179 shares.

 

Earnings (loss) per share is not presented herein for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as common stock had not been outstanding during the entire nine months ended September 30, 2014.  At September 30, 2015 and 2014, there are no common stock equivalents.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Corporation and its subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

 

The unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Corporation presented herein have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules of the SEC for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X and do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by GAAP for a complete set of financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) and disclosures necessary for the fair presentation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been included. Interim results are not necessarily reflective of the results of the entire year or any other period.  The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2014, included in the Corporation’s annual report on Form 10-K.

 

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the valuation of deferred tax assets and the valuation of real estate held for sale.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

As an “emerging growth company” as defined in Title 1 of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act, the Corporation has elected to use the extended transition period to delay the adoption of new or reissued accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are made applicable to private companies.  As of September 30, 2015, there is no significant difference in the comparability of the financial statements as a result of this extended transition period.

COASTWAY BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

 

In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-04, Receivables-Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40) which is intended to reduce diversity by clarifying when an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, that is, when a creditor should be considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan such that the loan receivable should be derecognized and the real estate property recognized.  The ASU also provides guidance on disclosures of the amount of foreclosed residential real estate properties and of the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans that are in process of foreclosure.  Under the extended transition period for an emerging growth company, the Corporation will adopt this standard for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014 and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Management believes that the adoption of this standard will not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.

 

(2)                                 Certificates of Deposit

 

At September 30, 2015, certificates of deposit totaling $3.0 million with an interest rate of 0.70% mature on December 14, 2016, and $3.0 million with an interest rate of 0.65% mature in April 2016.  Certificates of deposit are carried at cost which approximates fair value.

Loan Segments

 

Residential real estate mortgage loans — Loans in these segments are collateralized by owner-occupied residential real estate and repayment is dependent on the credit quality of the individual borrower.  The Bank generally has first liens on one- to four-family residential real estate loans and first or second liens on property securing home equity loans and equity lines-of-credit.  Jumbo one-to four —family loans generally have maximum loan-to-value ratios of 95%. Loan-to-value ratios of one- to-four family loans without private mortgage insurance are generally limited to 80% of sales price or appraised value, whichever is lower.  Loans where the borrower obtains private mortgage insurance may be made with loan-to value ratios up to 95%.  Residential one- to four-family loans of $190.3 million at September 30, 2015 included 91 purchased loans totaling $53.3 million,  $43.7 million of which were purchased during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from third parties at a cost of $44.2 million and were underwritten based on the Bank’s credit standards.  The loans purchased from third parties are located in New England, primarily in Massachusetts.  Home equity loans and lines of credit may be underwritten with a loan-to-value ratio of up to 80%.  The overall health of the economy, including unemployment rates and housing prices, will have an effect on the credit quality in these segments.

 

Commercial — Commercial loan segments include commercial real estate, commercial and industrial loans for businesses and construction financing for business/properties located principally in Rhode Island.  For commercial real estate loans, the underlying cash flows generated by the properties are adversely impacted by a downturn in the economy as evidenced by increased vacancy rates, which in turn, will have an effect on the credit quality in this segment.  Non-real estate commercial loans are made to businesses and are generally secured by assets of the business.  Repayment is expected from the cash flows of the business.  Commercial construction generally represent loans to finance construction of retail and office space.  Commercial loans also include loans made under the SBA 504 program which is an economic development program that finances the expansion of small businesses.  The Bank generally provides 50% of the projected costs, and the loan is secured by a first lien on the commercial property.  The SBA does not provide a guarantee on loans made under the SBA 504 program.  A weakened economy, and resultant decreased consumer spending, will have an effect on the credit quality in this segment.  Management monitors the cash flows of these loans.

 

SBA — Loans in this segment include commercial loans underwritten using SBA guidelines for the SBA’s 7(a) program and include both guaranteed and unguaranteed portions of the same loans.  Currently, under the SBA 7(a) program, loans may qualify for guarantees up to 85% of principal and accrued interest up to a maximum SBA guarantee of $3.75 million per borrower and related entities.  The Bank does not treat the SBA guarantee as a substitute for a borrower meeting reasonable credit standards.  SBA guarantees are generally sought on loans that exhibit minimum capital levels, a short time in business, lower collateral coverage or maximum loan terms beyond the Bank’s normal underwriting criteria.  For a number of SBA loans, the Bank has sold portions of certain loans and retains the unguaranteed portion while continuing to service the entire loan.  The guaranteed portion of SBA loans in the Bank’s portfolio is not allocated a general reserve because the Bank has not experienced losses on such loans and management expects the guarantees will be effective, if necessary. Guaranteed portions of SBA loans total $24.6 million and $29.2 million at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

 

Consumer — This segment includes unsecured and vehicle loans and repayment is dependent on the credit quality of the individual borrower.  Economic trends determined by unemployment rates and other key economic indicators are closely correlated to the credit quality of these loans.

 

Allowance for Loan Losses

 

Allowance for Loan Loss Methodology

 

The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings.  Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed.  For impaired loans that are deemed collateral dependent, the recorded balance of the loan is reduced by a charge-off to fair value of the collateral net of estimated selling costs.

 

The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management.  This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.  The allowance consists of general and specific components as described below.

Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

 

The general component of the allowance for loan losses is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors stratified by loan segments.  Management uses a ten year historical loss period to capture relevant loss data for each loan segment.  This historical loss factor is adjusted for the following qualitative factors: levels/trends in delinquencies; charge-off trends over the past three year period; weighted average risk ratings; loan concentrations; management’s assessment of internal factors; and management’s assessment of external factors such as interest rates, real estate markets and local and national economic factors.  There were no changes in the Bank’s policies or methodology pertaining to the general component of the allowance for loan losses during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and the year ended December 31, 2014.

 

The Corporation evaluates the need for a specific allowance when loans are determined to be impaired.  Loss is measured by determining the present value of expected future cash flows or, for collateral-dependent loans, the fair value of the collateral less estimated selling expenses.  Factors in identifying a specific problem loan include: (1) the strength of the customer’s personal or business cash flows; (2) the availability of other sources of repayment; (3) the amount due or past due; (4) the type and value of collateral; (5) the strength of the collateral position; (6) the estimated cost to sell the collateral; and (7) the borrower’s effort to cure the delinquency.  In addition, for loans secured by real estate, the Corporation considers the extent of any past due and unpaid property taxes applicable to the property serving as collateral on the mortgage.

 

Credit Quality Indicators

 

Commercial and SBA loans are risk rated based on key factors such as management ability, financial condition, debt repayment ability, collateral, industry conditions and loan structure.  Risk ratings 1 through 5 are considered “pass” rated, risk rating 5.5 is considered “watch list”, risk rating 6 is considered “special mention”, while risk ratings 7, 8 and 9 are considered “classified” ratings.

 

Risk Ratings 1-5:  Loans in this category are pass rated loans with low to average risk.

 

Risk rating 5.5 — Watch List:  loans in this category exhibit the characteristics associated with 5 risk-rated loans, but possess negative factors that warrant increased oversight yet do not warrant a negative risk rating.  Factors may include short-term negative operating trends, temporary liquidity shortfalls, modest delinquency, missing or incomplete financial information, or negative balance sheet trends.

 

Risk Rating 6 — Special Mention:  these loans have potential weaknesses and require management’s close attention.  If these weaknesses are not addressed, they may weaken the prospects for repayment at a future date.  Special mention assets do not expose the institution to sufficient risk to warrant a classified rating.

 

Risk Rating 7 — Substandard:  loans in this category are inadequately protected by the current financial condition and repayment ability of the borrower or pledged collateral, if any.  These assets have a well-defined weakness(es) that jeopardizes the repayment of the debt in full, and are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

 

Risk Rating 8 — Doubtful:  loans have all the weaknesses of those classified substandard.  In addition, it is highly unlikely that a doubtful asset can be collected or liquidated in full.  The possibility of loss is extremely high.  However, because of certain important and reasonably specific pending factors, which may work to strengthen the asset, its classification as a loss is deferred until the asset’s status can be better determined.

 

Risk Rating 9 — Loss:  loans classified as loss are considered uncollectible and of such little value that they are no longer considered bankable.  This classification does not mean that the asset has no recovery or salvage value.  However, it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off the asset even though partial recovery may occur in the future.

 

On an annual basis, or more often if needed, the Bank formally reviews the ratings on commercial and SBA loans.  On an annual basis, the Bank engages an independent third-party to review a significant portion of loans within these segments.  Management uses the results of these reviews as part of its annual review process.  Credit quality for residential real estate mortgage and consumer loans is determined by monitoring loan payment history and on-going communications with borrowers. Loans that are 90 days or more past due are considered non-performing loans.  Non-performing homogenous loans are individually evaluated for impairment.

Past Due and Non-Accrual Loans

 

The accrual of interest on loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days past due unless the loan is both well secured and in the process of collection.  Past due status is based on the contractual terms of the loan.  In all cases, loans are placed on non-accrual at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful.  All interest accrued, but not collected for loans that are placed on non-accrual, is reversed against interest income.  The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual.  Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

Impaired Loans

 

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due.  Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired.  Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed.

 

The Bank periodically may agree to modify the contractual terms of loans, such as a reduction in interest rate of the loan for some period of time, an extension of the maturity date or an extension of time to make payments with the delinquent payments added to the end of the loan term.  When a loan is modified and a concession is made to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty, the modification is considered a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”).  All TDRs are classified as impaired.  Loans on non-accrual status at the date of modification are initially classified as non-accruing troubled debt restructurings.  TDRs may be returned to accrual status after a period of satisfactory payment performance according to the terms of the restructuring, generally six months of current payments.

 

The following tables set forth the recorded investment in impaired loans and the related specific allowance allocated as of the dates indicated.

Troubled Debt Restructurings (TDRs)

 

Loans are designated as a TDR when, as part of an agreement to modify the original contractual terms of the loan, the Bank grants a concession on the terms, that would not otherwise be considered, as a result of financial difficulties of the borrower.  Typically, such concessions may consist of a reduction in interest rate to a below market rate, taking into account the credit quality of the note, or a deferment or reduction of payments, principal or interest, which materially alters the Bank’s position or significantly extends the note’s maturity date, such that the present value of cash flows to be received is materially less than those contractually established at the loan’s origination.  All loans that are modified are reviewed by the Bank to identify if a TDR has occurred.  TDRs are included in the impaired loan category and as such, these loans are individually evaluated for impairment and a specific reserve is assigned for the amount of the estimated credit loss. Total TDR loans, included in impaired loans as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were $6.9 million and $7.2 million, respectively.  No additional funds are committed to be advanced in connection with TDR loans.  TDR loans on accrual status amounted to $3.3 million and $2.9 million at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

(4)                                 Employee Benefits

 

Deferred Compensation Supplemental Executive Plan

 

The Bank maintains a non-qualified deferred compensation supplemental executive retirement plan (“DCSERP”) with a senior executive which was amended and restated as of January 1, 2011 and January 1, 2013.  Effective during the first quarter of 2015, the DCSERP was amended to allow the executive to invest all or a portion of the deferred compensation in Corporation stock, provided that such stock will only be settled in Corporation stock.  The Rabbi Trust which holds the assets invested on behalf of the deferred compensation DCSERP, was also similarly amended and effective during the first quarter of 2015. The assets invested in bonds related to this DCSERP total $908,000 at September 30, 2015 and $989,000 at December 31, 2014, and are included in other assets at fair value in the consolidated balance sheet.  The liability for the benefit obligation reported in accrued expenses and other liabilities totaled $908,000 at September 30, 2015 and $989,000 at December 31, 2014. Additionally, the Rabbi Trust holds 8,900 shares of Corporation stock at September 30, 2015 which is accounted for at its cost basis of $100,000, which is offset in stockholders’ equity by the benefit obligation of $100,000.

 

Supplemental Retirement Agreements

 

Effective July 1, 2013, the Bank entered into supplemental retirement agreements (“SERP”) with six executive officers, which provide for payments upon attaining the retirement age specified in the agreements, generally ages 65-67.  The present value of these future payments is accrued over the remaining service or vesting term.  Supplemental retirement benefits generally accrue as they are vested; however a termination of employment subsequent to a change in control will result in the vesting of all benefits that would have accrued to the officer’s normal retirement date.  An additional officer was added to the plan effective January 1, 2015.  During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, SERP expense totaled $151,000 and $102,000 and $453,000 and $307,000, respectively.

Defined Benefit Pension Plan

 

Pension expense (income) totaled $5,000 and ($5,500) and $16,000 and ($19,000), respectively for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The Bank does not expect to contribute to the plan year ending December 31, 2015.

 

Employee Stock Ownership Plan

 

The Corporation maintains an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) to provide eligible employees the opportunity to own Corporation stock.  This plan is a tax-qualified retirement plan for the benefit of all Corporation employees.  Contributions are allocated to eligible participants on the basis of compensation, subject to federal tax limits.

 

The Corporation granted a loan to the ESOP for the purchase of shares of the Corporation’s common stock at the Conversion date.  As of September 30, 2015, the ESOP holds 395,934 shares, or 8% of the common stock outstanding on that date.  The loan obtained by the ESOP from the Corporation to purchase common stock is payable annually over 25 years at the rate of the prime rate, as published in The Wall Street Journal, which is currently 3.25% per annum.  The loan is secured by the shares purchased, which are held in a suspense account for allocation among participants as the loan is repaid.  Any cash dividends paid on allocated shares will, at the direction of the Corporation, be credited to the participant accounts and invested in the Investment Fund; be distributed to the participants in proportion with the participants’ stock fund account balance; be distributed to the participants within 90 days of the calendar year in which paid in proportion with the participants’ stock fund account balance; or be used to make payments on the outstanding debt of the ESOP.  Cash dividends paid on unallocated shares will be used to repay the outstanding debt of the ESOP then due.  If the amount of dividends exceeds the outstanding debt of the ESOP, then, in the sole discretion of the Corporation, cash dividends may be allocated to active participants on a non-discriminatory basis, or be deemed to be general earnings of the ESOP.  Shares used as collateral to secure the loan are released and available for allocation to eligible employees as the principal and interest on the loan is paid.

 

Shares held by the ESOP include the following:

368,218

 

 

 

395,934

 

 

The fair value of unallocated shares was approximately $4.1 million at September 30, 2015.

 

Total compensation expense recognized in connection with the ESOP for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 was $43,000 and $44,000 and $131,000 and $125,000, respectively.

 

Change in Control Severance Plan

 

The Corporation entered into an Executive Change in Control Severance Plan (“Severance Plan”) effective upon the closing of the conversion and stock offering in January 2014 (see note 1), with certain officers.  The participants in the Severance Plan will be paid two times the participants’ base salaries plus their highest bonus in the two calendar years immediately prior to termination, upon a change in control, if the participant is not offered a comparable employment position in a similar geographic location.

 

Equity Incentive Plan

 

On May 21, 2015, the Coastway Bancorp, Inc. stockholders approved the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (“EIP”). Types of awards permitted by the EIP include stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, and performance awards.  Stock options under the EIP will generally expire after ten years after the date of grant.  Unless otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee, awards under the EIP (other than Performance Awards) shall be granted with a vesting rate not exceeding twenty percent per year, with the first installment vesting no earlier than one year after the date of grant. Upon an involuntary termination following a change of control, all stock options, restricted stock awards and units will become fully vested and performance awards will be deemed earned.  There were no awards granted under the EIP during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015.

(5)                                 Earnings per Common Share

 

Basic earnings per share represents income available to common stockholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per share reflects additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from the assumed issuance.  There were no potentially dilutive common stock equivalents as of September 30, 2015 and 2014.  Earnings (loss) per share is not presented for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as common shares had not been outstanding during the entire period.  Unallocated ESOP shares are not deemed outstanding for earnings per share calculations.

 

Earnings (loss) per common share have been computed as follows in the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 and the nine months ended September 30, 2015:

(6)                                 Off-Balance Sheets Activities and Derivatives

 

In the normal course of business, there are outstanding commitments and contingencies which are not reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

 

Loan Commitments

 

The Bank is a party to conditional commitments to lend funds in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers.  These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit which include commercial lines of credit and home equity lines that involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet.  The Bank’s exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments.  The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

 

The following financial instruments were outstanding whose contract amounts represent credit risk:

5,569

 

2,793

 

 

The commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract.  Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee.  The commitments for lines-of-credit may expire without being drawn upon.  Therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.  The Bank evaluates each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis.  The amount of collateral obtained if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit is based upon management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty.  Collateral held generally consists of real estate.

 

Sale of Real Estate Held For Sale

 

In September, 2015, the Bank entered into a Purchase & Sale Agreement (“P&S”) for $2.4 million to sell the Bank’s former headquarters located in Cranston, RI classified as real estate held for sale, and recorded impairment of $386,000 in connection with the acceptance of the offer in August.  The Bank intends to finance the loan to acquire the property at market terms with an adequate down payment to meet the sales criteria.  The sale is expected to close by the end of 2015 or shortly thereafter.

 

During the third quarter of 2015, the Bank accepted an offer and entered into a P&S agreement for $1.1 million to sell land in Coventry classified as real estate held for sale and recorded impairment of $195,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2015 in connection with the acceptance of the offer.  The sale is expected to close by the end of 2015.

 

Mortgage Banking

 

Commitments to fund certain mortgage loans (interest rate locks) to be sold in the secondary market and forward loan commitments for the future delivery of mortgage loans to third party investors, including To Be Announced securities (“TBAs”) and mandatory forward commitments, are considered derivatives.  These mortgage banking related derivatives are not designated in hedge relationships and are accounted for at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded in net gain on sales of loans and other mortgage banking income on the income statement.

 

Best efforts forward loan commitments do not qualify as derivatives.  Best efforts commitments are accounted for at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded in net gain on sales of loans and other mortgage banking income on the income statement, as management has elected fair value accounting for these commitments.

Derivative Loan Commitments

 

Mortgage loan commitments are considered derivative loan commitments if the loan that will result from exercise of the commitment will be held for sale upon funding.  The Bank enters into commitments to fund residential mortgage loans at specified times in the future, with the intention that these loans will subsequently be sold in the secondary market.

 

Outstanding derivative loan commitments expose the Bank to the risk that the price of the loans arising from exercise of the loan commitment might decline from inception of the rate lock to funding of the loan due to increases in mortgage interest rates.  If interest rates increase, the value of these loan commitments decreases.  Conversely, if interest rates decrease, the value of these loan commitments increases.

 

Forward Loan Sale Commitments

 

To protect against the price risk inherent in derivative loan commitments, the Bank generally utilizes best efforts forward loan sale commitments, and effective September 1, 2015, also may utilize mandatory delivery forward loan sale commitments TBA securities, which are purchased from approved counterparties to mitigate the risk of potential changes in the values of loans that would result from the exercise of the derivative loan commitments.

 

With a best efforts contract, the Bank commits to deliver an individual mortgage loan of a specified principal amount and quality to an investor if the loan to the underlying borrower closes.  With a mandatory delivery contract, the Bank commits to deliver an individual mortgage loan of a specified principal amount and quality to an investor.  Under mandatory delivery contracts, the Bank incurs a penalty if the Bank fails to originate the loan and deliver it to the investor.  Generally, the price the investor will pay the seller for an individual loan is specified prior to the loan being funded (e.g., on the same day the lender commits to lend funds to a potential borrower).

 

For TBAs, the Bank sells a security in the open market with a promise to deliver a pool of loans with an aggregate specified principal amount and quality to the investor at a specified point in the future.  If the Bank fails to deliver the pool of loans, the Bank will repurchase the security at the market price on the date of repurchase.

 

At September 30, 2015, the Bank had $21.0 million of interest rate lock commitments to borrowers and loans held for sale of $10.0 million with $31.3 million of forward commitments for the future delivery of residential mortgage loans.  Included in the forward commitments total are open TBAs with a notional amount of $3.8 million, mandatory delivery contracts with a notional amount of $309,000, and best efforts contracts with a notional amount of $27.2 million.

 

The Bank had $10.8 million in interest rate lock commitments to borrower loans held for sale of $11.0 million and forward commitments to sell loans of $21.5 million at December 31, 2014 and consisted only of best efforts contracts.

(7)                                  Fair Value Measurements

 

The Bank uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures.  The fair value of an asset or liability is the price which a seller would receive in an orderly transaction between market participants (an exit price).  Assets and liabilities are placed in a fair value hierarchy based on fair value measurements using three levels of inputs: (Level 1) quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; (Level 2) significant other observable inputs, including quoted prices for similar items in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar items in markets that are not active, inputs such as interest rates and yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks and default rates which provide a reasonable basis for fair value determination or inputs derived principally from observed market data; (Level 3) significant unobservable inputs for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.  Unobservable inputs must reflect reasonable assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, which are developed on the basis of the best information available under the circumstances.

 

Effective January 1, 2015, the Bank elected the fair value option pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 825, “Financial Instruments” for certain closed mortgage loans intended for sale and transferred the placement of loans held for sale to Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.  ASC 825 allows for the irrevocable option to elect fair value accounting for the initial and subsequent measurement for certain financial assets and liabilities on a contract-by-contract basis that may otherwise not be required to be measured at fair value under other accounting standards.  The Bank elected the fair value option for certain residential real estate mortgage loans held for sale pursuant to forward sale commitments in order to better match changes in fair values for the loans with changes in the fair value of the forward loan sale contracts used to economically hedge them.  The aggregate fair value of loans held for sale, the recorded investment of loans held for sale and the gain on loans held for sale totaled $10.9 million, $10.5 million and $375,000 at September 30, 2015. The change in fair value of loans held for sale reported as a component of net gains on sale of loans and other mortgage banking income was $286,000 and $157,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively.

Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

 

The Bank did not have cause to transfer any assets between the fair value measurement levels during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 or the year ended December 31, 2014, other than real estate held for sale which moved from a level 3 asset using appraised value to a level 2 asset based on the P&S Agreements.

 

Impaired loan balances in the table above represent those collateral dependent impaired loans where management has estimated the credit loss by comparing the loan’s carrying value against the expected realizable fair value of the collateral (appraised value or internal analysis less estimated cost to sell, adjusted as necessary for changes in relevant valuation factors subsequent to the measurement date).  Certain inputs used in these assessments, and possible subsequent adjustments, are not always observable, and therefore, collateral dependent impaired loans are categorized as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.  A specific allowance or partial charge-off is recorded to the collateral dependent impaired loan for the amount of management’s estimated credit loss. The provision (credit) to the allowance for loan losses on collateral dependent impaired loans for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, totaled $20,000 and $157,000 and $120,000 and $257,000, respectively.  The losses represent the amount of write downs during the period on impaired assets held at period end.

 

Real estate acquired by the Bank through foreclosure proceedings or the acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure is classified as foreclosed real estate.  When property is acquired, it is generally recorded at the lesser of the loan’s remaining principal balance, net of unamortized deferred fees, or the estimated fair value of the property acquired, less estimated costs to sell.  The estimated fair value is based on market appraisals and the Bank’s internal analysis.  Certain inputs used in appraisals or the Bank’s internal analysis, are not always observable, and therefore, foreclosed real estate may be categorized as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.   There were two properties acquired through foreclosure and one property acquired through deed-in-lieu of foreclosure during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and there were $12,000 of provisions for losses on foreclosed real estate held at period end for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015.  Losses on foreclosed real estate held at period end for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 totaled $91,000 and $129,000, respectively.

 

When real estate is determined to be held for sale, it is recorded at the lower of estimated fair value less estimated cost to sell.  The fair value less costs to sell is determined based on current appraisals that utilize prices in observed transactions involving similar assets adjusted for certain inputs that are not always observable (categorized as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy) or the selling price in an accepted offer less costs to sell (categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy). There were $386,000 and $581,000 of write-downs on real estate held for sale during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015.  Write-downs on real estate held for sale during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 totaled $706,000 and $1.1 million.

 

Derivatives and forward loan sale fair value methodology

 

Fair value changes in mortgage banking derivatives (interest rate lock commitments) and commitments to sell fixed-rate residential mortgages subsequent to inception are estimated using anticipated market prices based on pricing indications provided from syndicate banks and consideration of pull-through and fallout rates.  The fair value of the mortgage banking loan commitment derivatives and best efforts forward loan sale agreements are considered to be Level 3 assets.  The fair value of mandatory forward loan sale agreements and TBA securities are considered to be level 2 assets and liabilities.

 

The table below presents for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the change in Level 3 assets and liabilities that are measured on a recurring basis:

Estimated Fair Values of Assets and Liabilities

 

In addition to disclosures regarding the measurement of assets and liabilities carried at fair value on the balance sheet, the Corporation is also required to disclose fair value information about financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value, whether or not recognized on the balance sheet.  In cases where quoted fair values are not available, fair values are based upon estimates using various valuation techniques.  Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows.  Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument.  The following methods and assumptions were used by the Corporation in estimating fair values of its financial instruments.

 

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Corporation in estimating fair value disclosures:

 

Cash and cash equivalents — The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents approximate fair values based on the short-term nature of the assets.

 

Certificates of deposit — The carrying value of certificates of deposit is deemed to approximate fair value, based on both the current interest rate and the maturity date.

 

Federal Home Loan Bank stock It is not practical to determine the fair value of Federal Home Loan Bank stock due to restrictions placed on its transferability.

 

Loans, net — For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values.  Fair values for other loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using market interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality.  Fair values for non-performing loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses or underlying collateral values, where applicable.

 

Loans held for sale Fair values of loans held for sale are based on prevailing market rates for loans with similar characteristics.

 

Deposits — The fair values of deposits with no stated maturity, such as demand deposits, savings, club and money market accounts, are equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date.  Fair values for term certificates are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies market interest rates currently being offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

 

Borrowed funds — The fair values of the Bank’s FHLB advances are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the current incremental borrowing rates in the market for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

 

Accrued interest — The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value.

 

Off-balance sheet credit-related instruments — Fair values for off-balance-sheet, credit related financial instruments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing.

 

The estimates of fair value of financial instruments were based on information available at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 and are not indicative of the fair market value of those instruments as of the date of this report.  These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Corporation’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument.  The fair value of the Corporation’s time deposit liabilities do not take into consideration the value of the Corporation’s long-term relationships with depositors, which may have significant value.

 

Because no active market exists for a portion of the Corporation’s financial instruments, fair value estimates were based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors.  These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision.  Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

 

Fair value estimates were based on existing on- and off-balance sheet financial instruments without an attempt to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments, including premises and equipment and foreclosed real estate, and real estate held for sale.

Item 2 -     Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Management’s discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Corporation’s (also referred to herein as, “Company’s” “us,” “we” or “our”) consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in this report and the Corporation’s 2014 consolidated financial statements.

 

Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 

This report contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements concerning plans, objectives, future events or performance and assumptions and other statements that are other than statements of historical fact.  Forward-looking statements may be identified by reference to a future period or periods or by use of forward-looking terminology such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “plans,” “pursue,” “views” and similar terms or expressions.  Various statements contained in Item 2 - “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” including, but not limited to, statements related to management’s views on the banking environment and the economy, competition and market expansion opportunities, the interest rate environment, credit risk and the level of future non-performing assets and charge-offs, potential asset and deposit growth, future non-interest expenditures and non-interest income growth, and borrowing capacity are forward-looking statements.  The Corporation wishes to caution readers that such forward-looking statements reflect numerous assumptions and involve a number of risks and uncertainties that may adversely affect the Corporation’s future results.  The following important factors, among others, could cause the Corporation’s results for subsequent periods to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statement made herein: (i) changes in interest rates could negatively impact net interest income;  (ii) changes in the business cycle and downturns in the local, regional or national economies, including deterioration in the local real estate market, could negatively impact credit and/or asset quality and result in credit losses and increases in the Corporation’s allowance for loan losses and/or reduce valuations of foreclosed properties and real estate held for sale; (iii) changes in consumer spending could negatively impact the Corporation’s credit quality and financial results; (iv) increasing competition from larger regional and out-of-state banking organizations as well as non-bank providers of various financial services could adversely affect the Corporation’s competitive position within its market area and reduce demand for the Corporation’s products and services; (v) deterioration of securities markets could adversely affect the value or credit quality of the Corporation’s assets and the availability of funding sources necessary to meet the Corporation’s liquidity needs; (vi) changes in technology could adversely impact the Corporation’s operations and increase technology-related expenditures; (vii) increases in employee compensation and benefit expenses and other non-interest expenses could adversely affect the Corporation’s financial results; (viii) changes in laws and regulations that apply to the Corporation’s business and operations, including without limitation, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the “JOBS Act”) and the additional regulations that will be forthcoming as a result thereof, could adversely affect the Corporation’s business environment, operations and financial results; (ix) changes in accounting standards, policies and practices, as may be adopted or established by the regulatory agencies, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) or the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) could negatively impact the Corporation’s financial results; (x) our ability to enter new markets successfully and capitalize on growth opportunities; (xi) future regulatory compliance costs, including any increase caused by new regulations imposed by the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau; and (xii) some or all of the risks and uncertainties described in “Risk Factors” of the Corporation’s annual report on Form 10-K could be realized, which could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s business, financial condition and results of operation.  Therefore, the Corporation cautions readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking information and statements.

 

Accounting Policies/Critical Accounting Estimates

 

As discussed in the 2014 consolidated financial statements included in the Corporation’s annual report on Form 10-K, the most significant areas in which management applies critical assumptions and estimates that are particularly susceptible to change relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the valuation of deferred tax assets and the valuation of real estate held for sale.  The Corporation has not changed its significant accounting and reporting policies from those disclosed in its 2014 consolidated financial statements other than adopting the fair value option for certain residential one-to four-family loans held for sale in order to better match the changes in fair value of such loans with the changes in the fair value of the forward loan sale commitments used to economically hedge them.

Overview

 

Coastway Bancorp, Inc. is a Maryland corporation and owns 100% of the common stock of Coastway Community Bank.  On January 14, 2014, we completed our initial public offering (“IPO”) of common stock in connection with the mutual-to-stock Conversion of Coastway Bancorp, MHC, selling 4,827,125 shares of common stock at $10.00 per share (contributing $300,000 in cash and 122,054 shares of common stock to Coastway Cares Charitable Foundation II) and raising $48.3 million of gross proceeds.

 

The Corporation’s earnings are largely dependent on net interest income which is the difference between interest earned on loans, investments and cash and cash equivalents, and the cost of funding (primarily deposits and borrowed funds).  The re-pricing frequency of the Corporation’s assets and liabilities are not identical, and therefore subject the Corporation to the risk of adverse changes in interest rates.  The Corporation’s earnings are also dependent on the net gains on sales of loans, and other mortgage banking income, which is volatile.  When interest rates rise, the demand for mortgage loans tends to fall and may reduce the number of loans we can originate for sale.  Weak or deteriorating economic conditions also tend to reduce loan demand.  The Corporation’s operating expenses are high as a percentage of net interest income and non-interest income, due to prior branch growth and increased personnel as we positioned the Bank for future growth.

 

Net income was $346,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to a net loss of $111,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014.  Net income increased due to an increase of $665,000 in net interest income, primarily due to growth in loan interest income of $585,000, an increase in non-interest income of $64,000, and a decrease in total non-interest expenses of $90,000, partially offset by a higher provision for loan losses of $81,000 and an increase in income tax expense of $281,000. The increase in non-interest income was primarily the result of an increase in net gains on sales of loans, and other mortgage banking income of $45,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014 due to higher gains recorded on mortgage derivatives, partially offset by a decline in net gains on sales of mortgage loans.  An increase in the fair value of mortgage derivatives, commitments to sell and loans held for sale of $142,000 was recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014.  Gains on sales of mortgage loans decreased $105,000 from $671,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 to $566,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 due to lower net margins earned on mortgage loan sales, though loan sale volume was higher. Mortgage loans sold during the three months ended September 30, 2015 totaled $55.5 million as compared to $43.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2014.  The decrease in non-interest expenses of $90,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014 was primarily due to a $320,000 reduction in impairment loss on real estate held for sale.  During the three months ended September 30, 2015, impairment of $386,000 was recorded based on an acceptance of an offer and subsequent entry into Purchase & Sale Agreement to sell One Coastway Plaza.  During the three months ended September 30, 2014, an impairment loss of $706,000 was recorded related to One Coastway Plaza as a result of relocating the corporate headquarters to our current location.  Salary and employee benefits expense increased $185,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014 primarily due to an increase in supplemental executive retirement plan expense of $48,000 as compared to the same period in 2014, general merit increases, and an increase in full time equivalent employees (“FTEs”) to 137 at September 30, 2015 from 133 at September 30, 2014.  The increase in the provision for loan losses of $81,000 was primarily due to loan growth.

 

Net income was $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to a net loss of $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.  Net income increased primarily due to the $1.5 million contribution ($914,000, net of income taxes) made on January 14, 2014 to Coastway Cares Charitable Foundation II comprised of $300,000 in cash and 122,054 shares of common stock.  In addition, net income increased due to the increase in net interest income of $1.7 million primarily due to increased loan interest income of $1.5 million.  Net income also increased due to an increase in net gains on sales of loans and other mortgage banking income of $361,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to the prior period.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, SBA loans totaling $4.2 million were sold for a gain of $328,000 as compared to no SBA loan sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.  Excluding the net of income tax impact of the contribution to the charitable foundation, net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 would have been $263,000.  The earnings results for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014 were also impacted by a decrease in the provision for loan losses of $29,000.  Non-interest expenses increased $37,000, excluding the $1.5 million charitable foundation contribution, and income tax expense increased $1.4 million primarily due to higher pre-tax income in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 due to lower impairment losses on real estate held for sale, partially offset by an increase in salary and benefits and occupancy expenses.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, an impairment of $195,000 was recorded based on an acceptance of an offer in July 2015 to sell the Coventry land and an impairment of $386,000 was recorded in August 2015 based on acceptance of an offer to sell and subsequent entry into a Purchase & Sale agreement to sell the One Coastway Plaza property.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, an impairment loss of $393,000 was recorded related to the Sharpe Drive property as a result of entering into a Purchase & Sale

Agreement. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, impairment loss of $706,000 was recorded related to the One Coastway Plaza as a result of relocating the corporate headquarters to our current location.  Salaries and employee benefits expense increased $246,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014 due to an increase in FTEs which was 137 employees at September 30, 2015 as compared to 133 FTEs at September 30, 2014, general merit increases and an increase of supplemental executive retirement expense of $145,000, partially offset by a $103,000 reduction in involuntary termination benefits.  Occupancy expense increased $353,000 due to increased costs to operate our new corporate headquarters where we relocated in August 2014 and increased snow removal costs of $97,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

 

Comparison of Financial Condition at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014

 

Assets.  Our total assets increased $62.6 million, or 13.4%, to $528.4 million at September 30, 2015 from $465.8 million at December 31, 2014 primarily due to loan growth.  Total loans (excluding loans held for sale) increased $60.2 million, or 15.7%, to $443.4 million at September 30, 2015 from $383.2 million at December 31, 2014.  The increase in total loans was primarily due to an increase in residential one- to four-family loans of $56.2 million, or 41.9%, to $190.3 million at September 30, 2015 from $134.1 million at December 31, 2014. Residential one- to four-family loans increased due to purchases of $43.7 million of loans from third parties as well as organic loan growth. Residential one- to four-family loans of $190.3 million at September 30, 2015 included 91 individual loans totaling $53.3 million which were purchased from third parties and were underwritten based on the Bank’s credit standards.  Commercial real estate loans increased $18.4 million, or 17.1%, to $126.4 million at September 30, 2015 as compared to $108.0 million at December 31, 2014.  Construction loans decreased $5.8 million, primarily due to reclassification to permanent financing into commercial real estate loans.  SBA loans declined $5.1 million, or 12.8%, to $38.9 million at September 30, 2015 as compared to $44.0 million at December 31, 2014 primarily due to the sale of $4.2 million of such loans during the first quarter of 2015.

Deposits.  Our primary source of funds is retail deposits held by individuals and businesses within our market area.  Deposits increased $14.6 million, or 4.3%, to $358.2 million at September 30, 2015 from $343.5 million at December 31, 2014.  The increase in deposits was primarily as a result of an increase in our transaction accounts, partially offset by a decrease in certificates of deposit.  The increase in our transaction accounts was due to an increase in the balance of non-interest bearing demand deposit accounts of $11.1 million, or 15.0%, an increase of $5.6 million in the balance of savings and interest bearing demand deposit accounts, or 6.4%, and an increase of $6.7 million in the balance of money market accounts, or 10.5%. Certificates of deposit decreased $9.3 million, or 7.8%. Certificates of deposit exceeding $250,000 totaled $18.5 million and $16.0 million at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.  Customers have generally continued to maintain funds in more liquid deposit accounts in periods of low interest rates. We have also continued to expand our services to our small business customers.

Borrowed Funds. We utilize borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston as an alternate funding source. Borrowed funds at September 30, 2015 totaled $94.5 million as compared to $47.8 million at December 31, 2014, an increase of $46.7 million or 97.7%.  Borrowed funds at September 30, 2015 were comprised of $94.5 million of short-term advances at a weighted average rate of 0.26% as compared to short-term advances of $46.5 million at December 31, 2014 at a weighted average rate of 0.24% and long-term advances of $1.3 million at December 31, 2014 at a weighted average rate of 4.04%. The decrease in long-term advances during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 of $1.3 million was due to maturities.  The increase in overnight advances during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was due to loan growth outpacing deposit growth.

 

Total Stockholders’ Equity.  Total stockholders’ equity increased to $70.8 million at September 30, 2015 from $70.5 million at December 31, 2014.  The increase in stockholders’ equity was due to net income of $1.0 million and $131,000 of ESOP shares committed to be allocated, partially offset by stock repurchases of $902,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

Nonperforming Assets

 

Loans on which the accrual of interest has been discontinued are designated as non-performing loans.  Accrual of interest on loans is generally discontinued when contractual payments of principal or interest have become 90 days past due or management has serious doubts about further collectability of principal or interest, even though the loan is performing.  When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, unpaid interest credited to income is reversed.  Interest received on nonaccrual loans is applied against principal or interest or is recognized in income on a cash basis.  Generally, loans are restored to accrual status when the loan is brought current, has performed in accordance with the contractual terms for a reasonable period of time, generally not less than six months, and the ultimate collectability of the total contractual principal and interest is no longer in doubt.

 

Loans are classified as troubled debt restructured loans when certain modifications are made to the loan terms and concessions are granted to the borrowers due to financial difficulty experienced by those borrowers. The modifications of the terms of such loans were one of the following:  a reduction of the stated interest rate of the loan for some period of time, an extension of the maturity date at a stated rate of interest lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk, or an extension of time to make payments with the delinquent payment added to the principal of the loan.  Loans on nonaccrual status at the date of modification are initially classified as non-accruing troubled debt restructurings.  Troubled debt restructured loans may be returned to accrual status after a period of satisfactory and reasonable future payment performance under the terms of the restructuring.  Satisfactory payment performance is generally six months of current payments.

 

Non-performing loans decreased to $4.5 million, or 1.02% of total loans at September 30, 2015, from $6.4 million, or 1.68% of total loans, at December 31, 2014 primarily due to a $2.1 million decrease in non-performing one- to four-family residential loans partially offset by an increase of $63,000 in home equity and an increase of $130,000 in commercial real estate non-performing loans.  Two residential one- to four-family loans totaling $609,000 were moved to accrual status during the first quarter of 2015 and one residential one- to four-family loan totaling $573,000 was moved to accrual status in the second quarter of 2015 based on consistent payment performance.  The collateral securing both a residential loan and home equity loan from the same borrower was sold by short sale during the second quarter of 2015 the proceeds of which enabled a reduction in non-performing loans of $206,000, of which $181,000 was attributed to the residential loan and $25,000 to the home equity loan.  Three one- to four-family residential loans totaling $725,000 were transferred into foreclosed real estate during the three months ended September 30, 2015.  One commercial real estate loan of $130,000 with adequate collateral was added to non-performing loans during the three months ended September 30, 2015.

 

Foreclosed real estate consists of property acquired through formal foreclosure or the acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, and is initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell and subsequent revaluations are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value less costs to sell.  Non-performing assets are comprised of non-performing loans and foreclosed real estate.  The designation of a loan or other asset as non-performing does not necessarily indicate that loan principal and interest will ultimately be uncollectible.  However, management recognizes the greater risk characteristics of these assets and therefore considers the potential risk of loss on assets included in this category in evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.  Despite prudent loan underwriting, adverse changes within the Bank’s market area, or deterioration in local, regional or national economic conditions, could negatively impact the Bank’s level of non-performing loans and assets in the future.

 

Non-performing assets decreased $2.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 to $5.6 million, or 1.05% of total assets at September 30, 2015 from $7.7 million, or 1.66% of total assets at December 31, 2014 due to the decrease in non-performing loans discussed above and the sales of foreclosed real estate of $916,000.

2014, and for the year ended December 31, 2014, gross interest income which would have been recorded had the non-performing loans been current in accordance with their original terms amounted to $39,000, $170,000, $83,000 and $214,000 and $249,000, respectively.  The amount that was included in interest income on such loans totaled $41,000, $130,000, $63,000, $182,000 and $226,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, and the year ended December 31, 2014, respectively.

 

Asset Quality

 

Federal regulations provide for the classification of loans and other assets, such as debt and equity securities considered by the FDIC to be of lesser quality, as “substandard”, “doubtful”, or “loss”. An asset is “substandard” if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any.  “Substandard” assets include those characterized by the “distinct possibility” that the insured institution will sustain “some loss” if the deficiencies are not corrected.  Assets classified as “doubtful” have all of the weaknesses present to make collection or liquidation in full on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, “highly questionable and improbable.”    Assets classified as “loss” are those considered “uncollectible” and of such little value that their continuance as assets without the establishment of a specific loss reserve is not warranted.  Assets which do not currently expose the insured institution to sufficient risk to warrant classification in one of the aforementioned categories but possess weaknesses are designated as “special mention” by our management.

 

In accordance with our loan policy, we regularly review the problem loans in our portfolio to determine whether any loans require classification in accordance with applicable regulations.  Loans are listed on the “watch list” initially because of emerging financial weaknesses even though the loan is currently performing as agreed, or if the loan possesses weaknesses although currently performing.  If a loan deteriorates in asset quality the classification is changed to “special mention”, “substandard” “doubtful” or “loss” depending on the circumstances and the evaluation.  Based on this review, we had classified or held as special mention the following loans as of the dates indicated:

The level of classified and special mention loans decreased by $1.3 million to $4.9 million at September 30, 2015 from $6.2 million at December 31, 2014 principally due to payoffs on one commercial construction loan and three SBA loans previously classified as “substandard”.

 

Allowance for Loan Losses

 

The allowance for loan losses is the amount necessary to reflect probable incurred losses in the portfolio.  The Corporation evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis.  When additional allowances are necessary, a provision for loan losses is charged to earnings.

 

The Corporation’s methodology for assessing the appropriateness of the allowance for loan losses consists of two key elements:  (1) specific allowances for identified impaired loans; and (2) a general valuation allowance on the remainder of the portfolio.  Although the Corporation determines the amount of each element of the allowance separately, the entire allowance is available for the entire portfolio.

 

The Corporation identifies loans that may need to be charged off by reviewing delinquent loans, classified loans, and other loans about which management may have concerns about collectability.  For individually reviewed loans, the borrower’s inability to make payments under the terms of the loan as well as the shortfall in collateral value could result in a charge-off of the loan or the portion of the loan that was impaired.

 

Among other factors, the Corporation considers current general economic conditions, including current housing price depreciation, in determining the appropriateness of the allowance for loan losses for the Corporation’s residential real estate portfolio.  The Corporation uses evidence obtained from its own loan portfolio, including loss history, as well as published housing data in its local markets from third party sources believed to be reliable as a basis for assumptions about the impact of housing depreciation.

Table of Contents

 

Substantially all of the Corporation’s loans are secured by collateral.  Loans 90 days past due and other classified loans are evaluated for impairment and general or specific allowances are established.  Typically for a non-performing impaired real estate loan, the value of the underlying collateral is estimated using an independent appraisal, adjusted for property specific conditions and other factors, net of estimated selling costs and related specific reserves are adjusted on a quarterly basis. If a non-performing impaired real estate loan is in the process of foreclosure, and/or there are serious doubts about further collectability of principal or interest, and there is uncertainty about the value of the underlying collateral, a new appraisal may be ordered, and any shortfall would result in immediately charging off the portion of the loan that was insufficiently collateralized.

 

The Corporation evaluates the need for a specific allowance when loans are determined to be impaired.  Loss is measured by determining the present value of expected future cash flows or, for collateral dependent loans, the fair value of the collateral less estimated selling expenses.

 

The general component of the allowance for loan losses is established for loans that are not classified as impaired to recognize the inherent losses associated with lending activities, but which, unlike specific allowances, has not been allocated to particular problem assets.  This general valuation allowance is determined by segregating the loans by loan category (segments) and assigning allowance percentages based on a ten year historical loss period to capture relevant loss data for each loan segment.  This historical loss factor is adjusted for the following qualitative factors:  levels/trends in delinquencies; charge-off trends over the past three year period; weighted average risk ratings; loan concentrations; management’s assessment of internal factors; and management’s assessment of external factors such as interest rates, real estate markets and local and national economic factors.  Although the allowance for loan losses is allocated to various portfolio categories, it is general in nature and available for the loan portfolio in its entirety.  The allowance may be adjusted for significant factors that in management’s judgment, affect the collectability of the portfolio as of the evaluation date.  The applied loss factors are reevaluated quarterly to ensure their relevance in the current and overall economic environment and in relation to trends in the loan portfolio.

 

Despite prudent loan underwriting, adverse changes within the Corporation’s market area, or further deterioration in the local, regional or national economic conditions including a decline in real estate market values in Rhode Island and Massachusetts, an increase in interest rates, as well as bank regulatory examination and/or independent loan review results could negatively impact the Corporation’s level of allowance for loan losses and non-performing assets in the future.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014.

 

General.  Net income was $346,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to a net loss of $111,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014.  Net income increased due to an increase of $665,000 in net interest income, primarily due to growth in loan interest income of $585,000, an increase in non-interest income of $64,000, and a decrease in total non-interest expenses of $90,000, partially offset by a higher provision for loan losses of $81,000 and an increase in income tax expense of $281,000 due primarily to higher pre-tax income. The increase in non-interest income was primarily the result of an increase in net gains on sales of loans, and other mortgage banking income of $45,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014 due to higher gains recorded on mortgage derivatives, partially offset by a decline in net gains on sales of mortgage loans.  An increase in the fair value of mortgage derivatives, commitments to sell and loans held for sale of $142,000 was recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014.  Gains on sales of mortgage loans decreased $105,000 from $671,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 to $566,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 due to lower net margins earned on mortgage loan sales, though loan sale volume was higher. Mortgage loans sold during the three months ended September 30, 2015 totaled $55.5 million as compared to $43.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2014.  The decrease in non-interest expenses of $90,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014 was primarily due to a $320,000 reduction in impairment loss on

real estate held for sale.  During the three months ended September 30, 2015, impairment of $386,000 was recorded based on an acceptance of an offer and subsequent entry into a Purchase & Sale Agreement to sell One Coastway Plaza.  During the three months ended September 30, 2014, an impairment loss of $706,000 was recorded related to One Coastway Plaza as a result of relocating the corporate headquarters to our current location.  Salary and employee benefits expense increased $185,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014 primarily due to an increase in supplemental executive retirement plan expense of $48,000, general merit increases, and an increase in FTEs to 137 at September 30, 2015 from 133 at September 30, 2014.  The increase in the provision for loan losses of $81,000 was primarily due to loan growth.

 

Interest Income.  Interest income increased $601,000, or 15.1%, to $4.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from $4.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014.  The increase reflected an increase in the average balance of interest earning assets of $74.3 million to $470.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to $396.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014, partially offset by a decrease in the average yield on interest-earning assets to 3.86% for the three months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to 3.98% for the three months ended September 30, 2014.  The majority of our interest income was derived from interest and fees on loans.

 

Interest and fees on loans increased $585,000, or 14.8%, to $4.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from $3.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014.  Interest and fees on loans increased due to an increase in the average balance of loans and loans held for sale of $72.5 million to $447.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to $375.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014.  The increase in our average balance of loans was principally due to the growth in our residential one-to four- family and commercial real estate loan portfolios.  Partially offsetting the increase in average balance of loans, our average yield on loans decreased to 4.01% for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from 4.17% for the three months ended September 30, 2014 primarily due to a decline in market interest rates as well as the increase in residential one-to four- family residential loans which generally are originated at lower interest rates as compared to commercial real estate and SBA loans.

 

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $64,000, or 10.7%, to $535,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from $599,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014.  The decrease in interest expense was due to a decline in interest expense on deposits of $87,000, as the average cost of deposits declined 13 basis points to 0.70% for the three months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to 0.83% for the three months ended September 30, 2014 as a result of lower interest rates.  The average cost of certificates of deposit declined from 1.58% for the three months ended September 30, 2014 to 1.41% for the three months ended September 30, 2015.  While average interest-bearing deposits increased $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2104, the average balance of the higher costing certificates of deposit decreased $12.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 to $109.3 million from $121.7 million for the prior year period.  The interest rate on five year certificates of deposit was increased to 2.05% effective September 1, 2015 from 1.25%, in consideration of competitor interest rates, the decline in the balance of five year certificates over the preceding few months, loan growth, as well as expected future interest rate increases during the five-year term.

 

Interest expense on borrowed funds increased $23,000 to $49,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from $26,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 due to an increase of $58.4 million in the average balance of borrowed funds.  The average balance of borrowed funds increased to $80.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from $22.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014, as we increased short-term borrowings to fund loan growth.  The average cost of borrowed funds decreased to 0.24% for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from 0.47% for the three months ended September 30, 2014 due to a combination of maturities of long-term borrowings and the increased use of one-to-two month borrowings which cost less than overnight borrowings.

 

Net Interest Income.  Net interest income increased $665,000, or 19.7%, to $4.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from $3.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. This increase was due to both a $14.3 million increase in net interest-earning assets to $114.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and an increase in our interest rate spread of eight basis points to 3.26% for the three months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to 3.18% for the prior year period.  The net interest margin increased three basis points to 3.41% for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from 3.38% for the three months ended September 30, 2014.

Rate / Volume Analysis

 

The following table presents the dollar amount of changes in interest income and interest expense for the major categories of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities for the periods indicated.  Information is provided for each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities with respect to (i) changes attributable to changes in volume (i.e., changes in average balances multiplied by the prior-period average rate) and (ii) changes attributable to rate (i.e., changes in average rate multiplied by prior-period average balances).  For purposes of this table, changes attributable to both rate and volume which cannot be segregated, have been allocated proportionately to the change due to volume and the change due to rate.

The following table sets forth average balance sheets, average yields and costs, and certain other information for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.  No tax-equivalent yield adjustments were made, as we had no non-taxable interest-earning assets during the periods presented.  All average balances are daily average balances.  Nonaccrual loans were included in the computation of average balances, but have been reflected in the tables as loans carrying a zero yield.  The yields set forth below include the effect of deferred loan fees, discounts and premiums that are amortized or accreted to interest income or interest expense.

Provision for loan losses.  A provision for loan losses of $196,000 was recorded to the allowance for loan losses during the three months ended September 30, 2015, an increase of $81,000 as compared to a provision of $115,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014. During the three months ended September 30, 2015, a provision of $113,000 was recorded to the residential one-to four- family portfolio and a provision of $41,000 was recorded to the commercial real estate portfolio primarily due to loan growth in both portfolios. In addition, net charge-offs on residential one-to four family loans increased to $100,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to $80,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014.  A provision of $42,000 was recorded related to the home equity portfolio, primarily due to a delinquent home equity loan that has been charged-off.  Our provisions are based on our assessment of loss history, current asset quality, loan growth and economic trends.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2014, a provision of $104,000 was recorded relating to the residential one-to-four family loan portfolio primarily due to loan growth and a provision of $17,000 was recorded to the home equity portfolio.  During the three months ended September 30, 2014, the home equity portfolio had net charge-offs of $32,000.  During the three months ended September 30, 2014, a provision of $8,000 was recorded related to the commercial real estate portfolio primarily due to loan growth and a credit to the provision of $12,000 was recorded related to the construction portfolio due to a decrease in construction loans.

 

Non-Interest income.  Non-interest income increased $64,000, or 4.5%, to $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014.  The increase in non-interest income was primarily the result of an increase in net gains on sales of loans, and other mortgage banking income of $45,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014. An increase in the fair value of mortgage derivatives, commitments to sell and loans held for sale of $142,000 was recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014. Gains on sales of mortgage loans decreased $105,000 from $671,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 to $566,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 due to lower net margins earned on mortgage loan sales, though loan sale volume was higher. Mortgage loans sold during the three months ended September 30, 2015 totaled $55.5 million as compared to $43.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2014.

 

Non-Interest expenses.  Non-interest expenses decreased $90,000, or 1.9%, to $4.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from $4.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014.  The decrease in non-interest expenses was primarily due to a $320,000 reduction in impairment loss on real estate held for sale.  During the three months ended September 30, 2015, impairment of $386,000 was recorded based on an acceptance of an offer and subsequent entry into a Purchase & Sale Agreement to sell One Coastway Plaza.  During the three months ended September 30, 2014, an impairment loss of $706,000 was recorded related to One Coastway Plaza as a result of relocating the corporate headquarters to our current location.  The decision to accept the offer to sell was made in consideration of the holding costs of the property, the time the property has been held for sale and the interest to be earned on the financing of the loan to purchase the building at market terms.  Salary and employee benefits expense increased $185,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014 primarily due to an increase in supplemental executive retirement plan expense of $48,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014, general merit increases, and an increase in full time equivalent employees to 137 at September 30, 2015 from 133 at September 30, 2014.  Foreclosed real estate expenses increased $19,000 to $37,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to $18,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 primarily due to higher provisions for losses on foreclosed properties in 2015.  Other general and administrative expenses increased $19,000 to $386,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to $367,000 for the comparable 2014 period primarily due to the higher loan servicing expenses.

 

Income tax expense.  Income tax expense of $291,000 was recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to $10,000 of income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2014.  The increase in income tax expense was primarily due to an increase in pre-tax income of $738,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014.  The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2015 was 45.7% as compared to 9.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2014.  The effective tax rate was lower for the 2014 period partially due to a higher level of impairment loss on real estate held for sale which is non-deductible for state income tax purposes.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014

 

General.  Net income was $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to a net loss of $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.  Net income increased primarily due to the $1.5 million contribution ($914,000, net of income taxes) made on January 14, 2014 to Coastway Cares Charitable Foundation II comprised of $300,000 in cash and 122,054 shares of common stock.  In addition, net income increased due to the increase in net interest income of $1.7 million primarily due to increased loan interest income of $1.5 million.  Net income also increased due to an increase in net gains on sales of loans and other mortgage banking income of $361,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to the prior year period.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, SBA loans totaling $4.2 million were sold for a gain of $328,000 as compared to no SBA loan sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.  Excluding the net of income tax impact of the contribution to the charitable foundation, net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 would have been $263,000.  The earnings results for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014 were also impacted by a decrease in the provision for loan losses of $29,000.  Non-interest expenses increased $37,000, excluding the $1.5 million charitable foundation contribution, and income tax expense increased $1.4 million primarily due to higher pre-tax income in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 due to lower impairment losses on real estate held for sale, partially offset by an increase in salary and benefits and occupancy expenses. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, an impairment of $195,000 was recorded based on an acceptance of an offer in July 2015 to sell the Coventry land and an impairment of $386,000 was recorded in August 2015 based on acceptance of an offer to sell and subsequent entry into a Purchase & Sale agreement to sell the One Coastway Plaza property.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, an impairment loss of $393,000 was recorded related to the Sharpe Drive property as a result of entering into a Purchase & Sale Agreement.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, impairment loss of $706,000 was recorded related to the One Coastway Plaza as a result of relocating the corporate headquarters to our current location.  Salaries and employee benefits expense increased $246,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014 due to an increase in FTEs which was 137 employees at September 30, 2015 as compared to 133 FTEs at September 30, 2014, general merit increases and an increase of supplemental executive retirement expense of $145,000, partially offset by a $103,000 reduction in involuntary termination benefits.  Occupancy expense increased $353,000 due to increased costs to operate our new corporate headquarters where we relocated in August 2014 and increased snow removal costs of $97,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

 

Interest Income.  Interest income increased $1.6 million, or 13.6%, to $13.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from $11.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.  The increase reflected an increase in the average balance of interest earning assets of $59.2 million to $443.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to $384.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, partially offset by a decrease in the average yield on interest-earning assets to 3.93% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to 3.99% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.  The majority of our interest income was derived from interest and fees on loans.

 

Interest and fees on loans increased $1.5 million, or 13.5%, to $12.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from $11.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.  Interest and fees on loans increased due to an increase in the average balance of loans and loans held for sale of $60.4 million to $420.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to $356.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.  The increase in our average balance of loans was principally due to the growth in our residential one-to four- family and commercial real estate loan portfolios during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, interest and fees on loans included prepayment penalties of $122,000 related to two loans as well as the recovery of interest previously unrecognized of $54,000 on another loan which was fully repaid.  Partially offset by the increase in average balance of loans, our average yield on loans decreased to 4.10% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to 4.26% for nine months ended September 30, 2014, due to a decline in market interest rates as well as the increase in residential one- to four-family residential loans which are generally originated at lower interest rates as compared to commercial and SBA loans.

 

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $127,000, or 7.1%, to $1.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from $1.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, primarily due to a decline in deposit interest expense of $177,000, partially offset by a $50,000 increase in interest expense on borrowed funds.   Interest expense on deposits declined due to a decrease in the average cost of deposits of nine basis points to 0.76% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to 0.85% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as a result of lower interest rates.  The average cost of certificates of deposit declined from 1.59% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 to 1.50% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.  The average cost of savings accounts decreased one basis point to 0.10% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as we lowered rates effective July 1, 2013 and on April 1, 2014.  While the average balance of interest-bearing deposits increased $4.1 million to $275.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the average balance of the higher costing certificates of deposit decreased $8.7 million to $114.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to $123.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.  The interest rate on five year certificates of deposit was increased to 2.05% effective September 1, 2015 from 1.25%, in consideration of competitor

interest rates, the decline in the balance of five year certificates over the preceding few months, loan growth, as well as expected future interest rate increases during the five-year term.

 

Interest expense on borrowed funds increased $50,000 to $112,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from $62,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 primarily due to a $46.7 million increase in the average balance of borrowed funds to $56.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from $10.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.  The average cost of borrowed funds decreased to 0.26% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from 0.81% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, as we repaid longer term borrowings.

 

Net Interest Income.  Net interest income increased $1.7 million or 17.4%, to $11.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from $9.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. This increase was due to an $10.8 million increase in net interest-earning assets to $111.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. This growth in net interest-earning assets also was due to an increase in our interest rate spread of 11 basis points to 3.25% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to 3.14% for the prior year period.  The net interest margin increased to 3.42% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from 3.36% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

 

Rate / Volume Analysis

 

The following table presents the dollar amount of changes in interest income and interest expense for the major categories of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities for the periods indicated.  Information is provided for each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities with respect to (i) changes attributable to changes in volume (i.e., changes in average balances multiplied by the prior-period average rate) and (ii) changes attributable to rate (i.e., changes in average rate multiplied by prior-period average balances).  For purposes of this table, changes attributable to both rate and volume which cannot be segregated, have been allocated proportionately to the change due to volume and the change due to rate.

The following table sets forth average balance sheets, average yields and costs, and certain other information for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.  No tax-equivalent yield adjustments were made, as we had no non-taxable interest-earning assets during the periods presented.  All average balances are daily average balances.  Nonaccrual loans were included in the computation of average balances, but have been reflected in the tables as loans carrying a zero yield.  The yields set forth below include the effect of deferred loan fees, discounts and premiums that are amortized or accreted to interest income or interest expense.

Provision for loan losses.  A provision for loan losses of $367,000 was recorded to the allowance for loan losses during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, a decrease of $29,000 as compared to a provision of $396,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Our provisions are based on our assessment of loss history, current asset quality and economic trends.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, a provision of $274,000 was recorded relating to the residential one-to four- family loan portfolio primarily due to a combination of loan growth and an increase of $108,000 in net charge-offs.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, a provision of $101,000 was recorded related to the commercial real estate portfolio primarily due to loan growth.  We recorded a provision of $47,000 on the home equity portfolio during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.  Net charge-offs of $113,000 on the home equity loan portfolio were recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.  Home equity loans and lines of credit declined $2.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.  We recorded a credit to the provision of $28,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 related to a decline in the SBA portfolio balance and due to lower specific reserves.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, a provision of $231,000 was recorded relating to the residential one-to four- family loan portfolio due to a combination of loan growth and due to an increase of $118,000 on specific reserves on impaired loans since December 31, 2013.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, a provision of $68,000 was recorded related to the SBA loan portfolio, a provision of $40,000 was recorded related to the commercial real estate portfolio and a provision of $9,000 was recorded related to the construction portfolio, primarily due to loan growth.  We recorded a provision of $63,000 on the home equity portfolio during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.  Net charge-offs of $76,000 on the home equity loan portfolio were recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.  Home equity loans and lines of credit declined $1.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

 

Non-Interest income.  Non-interest income increased $357,000, or 8.8%, to $4.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from $4.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.  The increase in non-interest income was primarily due to the sale of SBA loans during the 2015 period. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, SBA loans totaling $4.2 million were sold for a gain of $328,000 as compared to no SBA loan sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.  Gains on sales of mortgage loans decreased $229,000 from $1.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 to $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. Mortgage loans sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 amounted to $97.7 million as compared to $134.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The decline in the net gain on sales of mortgage loans was due to lower net margin on the sales of mortgage loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.  An increase in the fair value of mortgage derivatives, commitments to sell and loans held for sale of $231,000 was recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014, due to a combination of increased loan sale volume and pipeline, use of TBA forward commitments to sell commencing in September 2015, and the election of fair value accounting for loans held for sale as of January 1, 2015.

 

Non-Interest expenses.  Non-interest expenses decreased $1.5 million, or 9.8%, to $13.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from $15.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease in non-interest expense was primarily due to the 2014 contribution of $1.5 million to Coastway Cares Charitable Foundation II, in connection with our initial public offering, of which $300,000 was in cash and 122,054 was from shares contributed, which did not re-occur in 2015.  Salary and employee benefits expense increased $246,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014 due to an increase in FTEs which was 137 employees at September 30, 2015 as compared to 133 FTEs at September 30, 2014, general merit increases and an increase of supplemental executive retirement expense of $145,000, partially offset by a $103,000 reduction in involuntary termination benefits.

 

Occupancy expense increased $353,000 due to increased costs to operate our new corporate headquarters which relocated in August 2014 and increased snow removal costs of $97,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014.   During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, impairment of $195,000 was recorded based on an acceptance of an offer in July 2015 to sell the Coventry land and impairment of $386,000 was recorded in August 2015 based on acceptance of an offer to sell and subsequent entry into a Purchase & Sale agreement on the One Coastway Plaza property.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, an impairment loss of $393,000 was recorded related to the Sharpe Drive property as a result of entering into a Purchase & Sale Agreement. The decision to enter the Purchase & Sale agreement for the Sharpe Drive property was made considering a number of factors including the operating costs of the property, the then pending purchase of the new corporate headquarters, and the interest to be earned on the financing. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, impairment loss of $706,000 was recorded related to the One Coastway Plaza property as a result of relocating the corporate headquarters.  Foreclosed real estate expenses decreased $48,000 to $140,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from $188,000 for the prior year period primarily due to lower provisions for losses.

 

Advertising expenses increased $38,000 to $211,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to $173,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as result of timing of expenditures to earlier in the year. Other general and administrative expenses decreased $30,000 to $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as

compared to the 2014 period primarily due to $148,000 in roof repairs incurred during the second quarter of 2014 on the Sharpe Drive property that did not occur in 2015, partially offset by a $82,000 increase in loan servicing expenses.

 

Income tax expense (benefit).  Income tax expense of $736,000 was recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to $622,000 of income tax benefit recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.  The increase in income tax expense was primarily due to an increase in pre-tax income during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014.  The tax benefit related to the charitable foundation contribution was $607,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.  The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was 41.9% as compared to 34.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.  The effective tax rate for both periods were impacted by impairment losses on real estate held for sale which are non-deductible for state income tax purposes.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future financial obligations.  Our primary sources of funds consist of deposit inflows, loans repayments, advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston, principal repayments and loans sales.  While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition.  Our Asset/Liability Committee, under the direction of the Chief Financial Officer, is responsible for establishing and monitoring our liquidity targets and strategies in order to ensure that sufficient liquidity exists for meeting the borrowing needs and deposit withdrawals of our customers as well as unanticipated contingencies.  We believe that we have enough sources of liquidity to satisfy our short- and long-term liquidity needs as of September 30, 2015.

 

The Corporation regularly monitors and adjusts its investments in liquid assets based upon an assessment of:

 

(i)             Expected loan demand including expected loan purchases from third party originators;

(ii)          Expected deposit flows and borrowing maturities;

(iii)       Yields available on interest-earning deposits; and

(iv)      The objectives of our asset/liability management program.

 

Excess liquid assets are invested generally in interest-earning deposits and are also used to pay off short-term borrowings.

 

The Corporation’s most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents.  The level of these assets is dependent on operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period.  At September 30, 2015, cash and cash equivalents totaled $13.1 million.  The Corporation also has invested in $6.1 million of certificates of deposit.

 

The Corporation’s cash flows are derived from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities as reported in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows included in the Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

At September 30, 2015, the Bank had $41.0 million in commitments to originate loans, $21.0 million of which will be sold.  In addition to commitments to originate loans, the Bank had $68.3 million in unused lines of credit to borrowers and commitments to purchase loans from third parties of $10.2 million at September 30, 2015.  Certificates of deposit due within one year of September 30, 2015 totaled $52.3 million, or 14.6%, of total deposits.  If these deposits do not remain with us, we may be required to seek other sources of funds, including utilizing additional Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston advances and selling the guaranteed portions of SBA loans of $20.8 million.  Depending on market conditions, the Bank may be required to pay higher rates on such deposits or other borrowed funds than it currently pays on the certificates of deposit.  Management believes, however, based on historical experience and current market interest rates, that the Bank will retain upon maturity, a large portion of certificates of deposit with maturities of one year or less as of September 30, 2015, based upon competitive interest rates and other factors.

 

The Corporation’s primary investing activity is originating and purchasing loans.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and for the year ended December 31, 2014, loan originations and purchases, net of principal repayments totaled $66.7 million, and $57.3 million, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Corporation received proceeds from the sale of SBA loans of $4.6 million.

 

Financing activities consist primarily of activity in deposit accounts, Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston (FHLB) advances, IPO proceeds and stock repurchases.  We experienced a net increase in deposits of $14.6 million and $13.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and for the year ended December 31, 2014, respectively.  Deposit flows are affected by the overall level of interest rates, the interest rates and products offered by us and our local competitors, and by other factors. FHLB net borrowings totaled $46.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to net borrowings

of $19.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2014.  Stock subscriptions of $43.4 million were converted into stockholders’ equity of $46.3 million upon the close of the IPO in January 2014.  The ESOP purchased $4.0 million of stock during the year ended December 31, 2014. The Corporation repurchased $902,000 of its common stock as part of a previously announced 5% stock repurchase program during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

 

Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of business management.  If we require funds beyond our ability to generate them internally, borrowing agreements exist with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston that provide an additional source of funds.  Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston advances were $94.5 million and $47.8 million at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.  At September 30, 2015, we had the ability to borrow up to an additional $53.3 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston.  We also have the ability to borrow with the Federal Reserve discount window.  At September 30, 2015, the Bank had the capacity to borrow up to $15.5 million from the Federal Reserve discount window, but had no outstanding borrowings as of that date.

 

Capital Resources

 

The Corporation believes its current capital is adequate to support ongoing operations.  As of September 30, 2015, the Bank qualifies as “well capitalized” under applicable regulations of the Rhode Island Department of Business Regulation and the FDIC.  To be categorized as “well capitalized,” the Bank must maintain minimum Total Capital, Tier 1 and Common Equity Tier 1 Capital ratios of 10%, 8% and 6.5% respectively, and, maintain a leverage capital ratio (Tier 1 capital to average assets) of at least 5%.

 

The Bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios are presented as of September 30, 2015 in the table below.

On April 9, 2015, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System issued the Final Rule to implement Public Law 113-250 enacted on December 18, 2014 that updates the Small Bank Holding Company Policy Statement (“Policy Statement”), which became effective in May 2015.  Pursuant to the Policy Statement, capital rules and reporting requirements will not apply to the small bank holding companies (defined as less than $1.0 billion in assets) which meet the following criteria: (1) not engaged in significant non-bank activities; (2) no significant off-balance sheet activities conducted through a non-bank subsidiary, and (3) no material amount of SEC registered debt or equity securities outstanding (other than trust preferred).  The Bank will still be subject to the capital rules and reporting requirements, though the holding company will be exempt.
