UCFC Announces Record Earnings for the Second Quarter and a Dividend Increase of 14%

United Community Financial Corp. (Company) (NASDAQ: UCFC), parent company of Home Savings Bank (Home Savings), announced today second quarter net income of $10.5 million, an increase of 9.9% compared to the second quarter of 2018. Diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) totaled $0.215, a 13.2% improvement over the $0.190 per share reported for the quarter ended June 30, 2018.

Second quarter 2019 highlights:

  • ROA of 1.48%, ROE of 13.2%, ROTE of 14.3% for the quarter
  • Total loan growth of 6.1% over the last twelve months
  • Average customer deposit growth of 7.7% compared to second quarter 2018
  • Revenue growth of 5.8% compared to second quarter 2018
  • Pretax preprovision income of $12.7 million, a 9.6% increase compared to second quarter 2018
  • Efficiency ratio of 55.4%
  • Declared a dividend of $0.08 per common share, an increase of 14% over the prior quarter
  • Authorized an additional one million shares for repurchase

Gary M. Small, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company commented, “The team delivered an outstanding quarter and each business line continues to contribute to our success. Balanced improvements in commercial banking, residential mortgage and our consumer business produced a very strong 9.9% net income improvement for the quarter versus the same period last year.”

Small continued, “Excellent earnings growth and an accelerated stock repurchase program combined to deliver EPS growth of 13%. Based on the strength and momentum of our performance, the board approved a 14% dividend increase. Capital management will remain a strategic priority as we are focused on delivering top tier returns for our shareholders.”

Strong Loan and Deposit Growth

Total loans grew $129.5 million (excluding loans held for sale), or 6.1%, during the previous twelve months ended June 30, 2018 and $13.8 million compared to the previous quarter. At June 30, 2019, total net loans (excluding loans held for sale) aggregated $2.23 billion.

Home Savings continues to produce excellent results over all lending categories. The increase in total loans for the period was driven by an increase in commercial loans, which grew $73.5 million, or 8.2%, over the last twelve months, remaining flat compared to the prior quarter. This was as expected due to paydowns in the commercial real estate portfolio. Mortgage loans (excluding loans held for sale and permanent construction loans) increased $54.1 million, or 6.1%, over the previous twelve months and increased $8.1 million, during the past three months.

Average quarterly customer deposits (which exclude brokered certificates of deposit) increased 7.7% from June 30, 2018 and 5.7% from March 31, 2019. The growth in average customer deposits was driven by increases in average non-interest bearing accounts of 7.6% compared to the second quarter of 2018 and 1.2% over the past three months. Secondly, increases occurred in money market accounts of 19.8% compared to the second quarter of 2018 and 17.4% over the last three months. Finally, average business deposits continue to rise, increasing 29.6% compared to the second quarter of 2018 and 8.4% over the past three months.

Net Interest Income and Margin

Net interest income totaled $22.1 million on a fully taxable equivalent (FTE) basis for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 compared to $21.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2018, or an increase of 3.4%. This increase is the result of growth in average earning assets of 4.3% offset by a decline in purchase accounting adjustments.

The net interest margin on an FTE basis was 3.33% for the second quarter of 2019 compared to 3.36% in the second quarter of 2018. The decline was primarily due to lower purchase accounting adjustments. Excluding the effects of purchase accounting adjustments, the net interest margin was 3.29% in the second quarter of 2019 compared to 3.28% in the second quarter of 2018.

The net interest margin on a linked quarter basis declined 5 basis points from 3.38% in the first quarter of 2019 to 3.33% in the second quarter of 2019. Two basis points of this decline was the result of lower purchase accounting adjustments. One basis point is due to increased funding costs related to treasury share repurchases. The remaining difference can be attributed to a challenging interest rate environment with an inverted treasury curve along with falling treasury rates and LIBOR.

Asset Quality Remains Strong

Asset quality remained strong during the second quarter. At June 30, 2019, nonperforming loans aggregated $12.9 million compared to $10.8 million at June 30, 2018 and $7.1 million at the end of the previous quarter. The Company’s level of nonperforming loans moved up at the end of the quarter, primarily as a result of a single credit. A substantial portion of this credit was paid off in July, which should reduce nonperforming loans to levels seen in recent quarters. The allowance for loan losses at the end of the period, as a percent of nonperforming loans was 159.1%. Net recoveries for the quarter were $87,000, or two basis points. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, net recoveries totaled $29,000. The allowance for loan losses as a percent of loans totaled 0.91% at June 30, 2019 compared to 1.01% at June 30, 2018.

The Company recognized a negative provision for loan losses of $51,000 for the second quarter of 2019, compared to a negative provision of $138,000 in the second quarter of 2018. As of June 30, 2019 the allowance for loan losses to total loans amounted to 0.91% with no change from the prior quarter. Continued asset quality combined with net recoveries for the period resulted in the negative provision for the quarter.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income increased 14.0%, or $819,000, to $6.7 million for the second quarter of 2019 compared to $5.9 million for the same quarter last year. The primary reason for this is an increase in mortgage banking income of $1.4 million along with solid increases in brokerage income, mortgage servicing fees and trading and security gains. This was offset by a decrease in value of mortgage servicing rights of $975,000.

The increase in mortgage banking income was primarily driven by increased margins when comparing the second quarter of 2019 to the second quarter of 2018. Pricing in the market has been much more disciplined in 2019 compared to 2018 while hedging costs for the construction loans being sold have been much lower in 2019. At this time, the Company anticipates mortgage banking margins tracking higher than in 2018 for the remainder of the year. The decrease in the mortgage servicing rights valuation was due to the dramatic drop in long term interest rates and the commensurate rise in mortgage prepayment speeds.

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense was $16.0 million for the second quarter of 2019 compared to $15.5 million during the second quarter of 2018, an increase of $446,000, or 2.9%. The Company’s efficiency ratio improved to 55.4% for the current quarter versus 57.8% for the same quarter a year ago.

Small added, “We are pleased with the positive operating leverage created during the quarter given the volatile rate environment. Revenue increased 5.8% with expenses up 2.9%. We anticipate continued expansion of operational leverage over the remainder of the year.”

Effective Tax Rate

The Company’s effective tax rate on an FTE basis for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 was 18.4% compared to 19.5% for the quarter ended June 30, 2018.

Dividend to be Paid and Equity

On July 23, 2019, the Board of Directors declared a 14.3% increase to the quarterly cash dividend to $0.08 per common share payable August 13, 2019 to shareholders of record August 5, 2019. On July 23, 2019 the Board also authorized an additional one million shares to the Company’s existing share repurchase program. The Company had 727,711 shares authorized as of June 30, 2019. During the second quarter of 2019, the Company repurchased 817,000 shares for a total of 1.1 million for 2019. The average cost was $9.33 per share for the quarter and $9.36 per share for the year.
