The Company is the parent company of Capital Pacific Bank (the Bank), a business bank focused on serving greater Portland area businesses, nonprofit organizations, private schools and companies committed to sustainable business practices.
Highlights
Net income to common shareholders in the third quarter of 2014 was $624,000 or $0.24 per common diluted share, up 45% compared with $431,000 or $0.17 per common diluted share in the third quarter of 2013.
Net income to common shareholders in the nine months of 2014 was $1.71 million or $0.66 per common diluted share, an increase of 42% compared with $1.20 million or $0.46 per common diluted share in the nine months of 2013, primarily reflecting higher net interest income.
Total loans were $201.1 million at September 30, 2014, a 7% increase from December 31, 2013 and up 12% compared with $179.32 million a year ago.
Total client deposits, more than half of which are noninterest bearing or low-interest bearing demand deposits, increased 9% to $224.97 million at September 30, 2014 compared with $207.0 million at December 31, 2013 and $204.13 million a year ago.
The Company''s net interest margin of 4.00% for the quarter ending September 30, 2014, was consistent with previous consecutive quarters, reflecting continuing management emphasis on controlling interest expense, and identifying niche lending opportunities that reduce the impact of rate-based competition for quality loans.
Asset quality ratios remained strong, including a decline in the ratio of non-performing assets to total assets, which was below 1% at the close of the third quarter of 2014.
Return on average common equity (annualized) increased to 10.8% at September 30, 2014 compared with 8.4% in the prior year''s third quarter, while return on average assets (annualized) was 1.02% compared with 0.76% a year ago.
The Company''s book value per common share was $9.08 at September 30, 2014, reflecting a steady consecutive quarter increase in book value from $8.17 per common share a year ago.
"Our commitment to stable growth, client retention, and disciplined underwriting has contributed to noteworthy financial results and growth throughout 2014," said Mark Stevenson, President and CEO. "Our financial performance reflects the consistent execution of our strategy to build long-term shareholder value."
Income Statement Highlights
Results for three and nine months ending September 30, 2014 reflected double-digit growth year-over-year in net interest income. In the third quarter of 2014, net interest income was $2.35 million, up 12% from $2.09 million in the third quarter of 2013. For the nine months ending September 30, 2014, net interest income was $6.81 million, a 10% increase compared with $6.16 million for the nine months ending September 30, 2013. Growth in net interest income is a result of new business with a growing number of companies in our market.
Revenue from deposit fees and other non-interest income was $235,000 in the third quarter of 2014, up 18% from a year ago. For the first nine months of 2014, deposit fees and other non-interest income totaled $673,000, up 16% compared with the same period last year.
Total non-interest expense in the third quarter of 2014 was $1.65 million compared with $1.56 million in the third quarter of 2013. Non-interest expense for the first nine months of 2014 was up 3% compared with the same period last year, reflecting the Company''s investment in retaining experienced staff, partially offset by lower operating expenses. Stevenson noted that increasing productivity and a growing asset base were the major contributors to a 63.75% efficiency ratio in the third quarter of 2014, significantly improved from 68.14% in the third quarter of 2013.
Balance Sheet Highlights
Total loans at September 30, 2014 were $201.10 million, up 7% compared with $187.98 million at December 31, 2013 and up 12% from $179.32 million a year ago. Expansion in the Company''s loan portfolio was due to growth in owner-occupied commercial real estate loans, equipment financing, acquisition financing and working capital lines of credit, all part of the Bank''s commercial lending segment.
"Among the goals we set for 2014 was to grow commercial lending and build greater diversity into our overall loan portfolio," explained Stevenson. "We planned for and delivered a strong summer season. Commercial lending, in particular, often requires a solution that is customized to integrate with a client''s overall business and it is here that we excel as lenders."
Total client deposits at September 30, 2014 were $224.97 million, up from $207.0 million at December 31, 2013. "Our deposit mix is a great composite of our business clients, with over 55% of our core deposits in demand checking accounts. As a result, our cost of funds has remained very low at an annualized rate of 28 basis points for several consecutive quarters," explained Stevenson.
Asset quality remained high, with total non-performing assets of only $2.29 million at September 30, 2014 compared with $2.99 million at December 31, 2013 and $3.82 million at September 30, 2013. The ratio of total non-performing assets to total assets was 0.90% in the current quarter compared with 1.66% in the third quarter of 2013. Non-performing assets, including performing troubled debt restructurings, were $3.38 million or 1.32% of total assets at September 30, 2014. The Bank''s loan loss reserve as a percentage of loans was 1.41% at September 30, 2014, and more than 200% of non-performing loans.
Other real estate owned (OREO) was $1.13 million at September 30, 2014 compared with $157,000 at September 30, 2013, reflecting the expected migration of a non-performing loan to OREO in the 2nd quarter of 2014. The Company charged off $247,000 of this loan with reserves set aside in a prior year, and anticipates the sale of the OREO without additional loss.
The Bank remained well-capitalized by accepted regulatory standards as of September 30, 2014, with a tier 1 leverage ratio of 10.11%, a tier 1 capital ratio of 12.22%, and a total risk based capital ratio of 13.47%.
"We are part of a vibrant and growing community, which has embraced our unique business model that emphasizes business banking and social responsibility. As a result, our visibility is increasing," said Stevenson. "Reflecting our commitment to supporting our vision, we will be a sponsor at the SRI Conference in November. This is the nation''s largest conference on sustainable, responsible, impact investing, attended by hundreds of financial professionals and industry practitioners. We look forward to the opportunity to share the Capital Pacific Bank story with investors on a national platform."
