CWB Reports Third Quarter Financial Performance
Pre-tax, pre-provision earnings up 6% compared to last year Continued strong loan growth with strategic, geographic diversification
(firmenpresse) - EDMONTON, ALBERTA -- (Marketwired) -- 09/01/16 -- Canadian Western Bank (TSX: CWB) -
"CWB''s solid third quarter operating performance reflects the continued successful execution of our strategy. Our strategic objectives include strong, balanced growth of both loans and funding sources, as well as progress toward a more balanced geographic footprint and broader diversification within targeted sectors of Canada''s commercial banking industry," said Chris Fowler, President and CEO. "In support of these goals, we delivered very strong 14% year-over-year loan growth and strong growth in branch-raised deposits, contributing to 6% growth in pre-tax, pre-provision earnings. Our two recent acquisitions, CWB Maxium Financial and CWB Franchise Finance, are integral components of our balanced growth strategy. With 80% of both portfolios based outside of Western Canada and the majority of originations focused within the general commercial sector, these businesses will contribute to the expansion of our geographic footprint and further diversification of our asset mix."
"I''m pleased to say that we achieved positive operating leverage this quarter while continuing to invest in our ability to grow client relationships across the country, despite persistent pressure on net interest margin," continued Mr. Fowler. "With respect to credit quality related to oil and gas production loans, we have taken a proactive approach to resolve positions within this portfolio, and will continue to conservatively manage exposures in view of the difficult operating environment."
"This quarter we launched our new core banking system and strengthened our capital position through the issuance of common shares. The banking system will improve our capabilities to manage client relationships, risk and capital. Very strong capital ratios will support continued growth at levels consistent with our strategic direction over the medium-term while temporarily constraining growth of earnings per share. Together these steps are key components of our strategy to deliver strong, balanced growth with an attractive risk profile."
Third Quarter 2016 Highlights(1,2) for Continuing Operations (compared to the same period in the prior year unless otherwise noted)
Canadian Western Bank (CWB) today announced third quarter financial performance which, compared to the same quarter in 2015, included very strong and geographically diverse loan growth, strong branch-raised deposit growth and steady growth in pre-tax, pre-provision (PTPP) earnings. Common shareholders'' net income from Continuing Operations of $45.6 million was down 11%. Loan growth of 14%, including the addition of CWB Franchise Finance assets, was very strong and well-balanced by industry segment. Non-interest income was up 47%, primarily due to the influence of net losses on securities last year and gains on the sale of residential mortgages in the current period. These positive earnings drivers were more than offset by the combined impact of several factors, including increased energy-related provisions for credit losses, a 17 basis point decline in net interest margin, moderate growth of non-interest expenses, the addition of acquisition-related contingent consideration fair value changes reflecting performance within CWB Maxium Financial (CWB Maxium), higher preferred share dividends, and the 20% increase to CWB''s income tax rate in Alberta. Diluted earnings per common share of $0.55 and adjusted cash earnings per common share of $0.60 were down 14% and 8%, respectively. The common share issuance on July 7, 2016 reduced quarterly earnings per common share by $0.01. PTPP earnings were up 6% to $82.2 million.
Compared to the prior quarter, common shareholders'' net income from Continuing Operations increased 42%, diluted earnings per common share was 38% higher and adjusted cash earnings per common share was up 46%. These positive changes primarily relate to the impact of lower provisions for credit losses this quarter. PTPP earnings declined 3%. The benefit of 2% loan growth, two additional interest-earning days, consistent non-interest income and stable non-interest expenses was more than offset by a seven basis point decrease in net interest margin, the addition of acquisition-related contingent consideration fair value changes and higher preferred share dividends. Of note, due to timing of the issuance, the third quarter Series 7 preferred share dividend payment included a stub period dividend.
Year-to-date common shareholders'' net income from Continuing Operations of $129.9 million was 16% lower as the benefits of very strong 12% loan growth and 7% higher non-interest income were more than offset by increased energy-related provisions for credit losses, a 13 basis point decrease in net interest margin, and the other factors cited above in the year-over-year comparison of third quarter performance. Diluted and adjusted cash earnings per common share declined 18% and 15%, respectively. Year-to-date PTPP earnings of $248.1 million increased 6%.
Medium-term Performance Target Ranges for Continuing Operations
Performance target ranges reflect the objectives embedded within CWB''s strategic direction and a time horizon consistent with the longer-term interests of CWB shareholders. Target ranges for key financial metrics over a three- to five-year time horizon are presented in the following table:
These medium-term performance target ranges are based on expectations for moderate economic growth in Canada over the three- to five-year forecast horizon. We are committed to continue to deliver further business and geographic diversification; strong and profitable loan growth; a lower overall cost of funds through optimization of our funding mix; stable credit quality over a full economic cycle; effective expense management in consideration of revenue growth opportunities; and, prudent capital management.
Continuing Operations
Our outlook for the remainder of 2016 reflects expectations for ongoing credit stress and macroeconomic uncertainty within Alberta, primarily related to the impact of persistent low oil prices. Credit quality reflects strain within CWB''s small portfolio of oil and gas production loans, and the level of provisioning remains elevated compared to our historical experience. Outside of the oil and gas portfolio, credit quality has remained stable. Compared to 2015, we expect adjusted cash earnings per share in fiscal 2016 to be lower in view of the impact of increased provisions for credit losses on year-to-date results, as well as the likelihood of ongoing pressure on net interest margin, incremental increases in our expense base mainly related to implementation of our new core banking system, and a higher share count following the issuance of common shares on July 7, 2016. Of note, lower net interest margin this quarter includes a one-time impact of three basis points related to a change in methodology for the recognition of certain loan fees.
CWB''s strategic direction and related benefits of acquisitions and core banking implementation
Over the medium-term, ongoing strong, balanced growth of both loans and funding sources remain important strategic objectives. Further geographic and business sector diversification within targeted segments of Canada''s commercial banking industry is the foundation of our strategic direction. We completed two important steps in support of this strategy with the acquisition of CWB Maxium on March 1, 2016, and the acquisition of GE Capital''s Canadian franchise finance platform, now known as CWB Franchise Finance, on July 1, 2016.
CWB Maxium and CWB Franchise Finance will both contribute to an expanded CWB presence outside of Western Canada as approximately 80% of their current business is based in Ontario and other eastern Canadian provinces. We expect the combination of these two meaningful strategic acquisitions to be slightly accretive to adjusted cash earnings per share this year, with accelerating contributions thereafter.
We also expect CWB''s earnings growth and business diversification to benefit from ongoing success in key strategic initiatives to expand our existing client relationships and attract new clients. The successful launch of our new core banking system this quarter will facilitate these initiatives over the medium term and advance our efforts to build core funding sources, enhance product and service offerings, and leverage current and future investment in technology. We look forward to realizing the significant benefits of this improved technology going forward, including the ability to leverage a client-centric view of our branch-based relationships and achieve further operational efficiencies, as well as support for CWB''s eventual transition to the Advanced Internal Ratings Based (AIRB) methodology for calculating risk weighted assets.
Very strong loan growth and strong growth in branch-raised deposits
Fiscal 2016 now marks the 26th time in 27 years CWB has achieved double digit loan growth. Loan growth of 14% over the past twelve months, 2% compared to the prior quarter and 12% on a year-to-date basis was driven by strong activity within targeted portfolio segments. In combination, the addition of approximately $350 million of loans within CWB Franchise Finance and third quarter net originations within CWB Maxium of approximately $100 million accounted for nearly 20% of our growth from last year and a significant proportion of the net sequential increase. Combined loan growth within BC and Ontario accounted for more than 75% of the increase from last year. Loan growth in Alberta and Saskatchewan has slowed compared to prior years due to the economic impact of low oil prices. Outstanding balances in Alberta fell 3% from the second quarter and we expect the trend of stronger relative growth in non-oil producing provinces to continue through the remainder of 2016.
Deposit growth was 12% over the past twelve months, 4% compared to the prior quarter and 9% on a year-to-date basis. We remain committed to further enhance and diversify funding sources to support growth, manage the impact of competitive factors and mitigate pressure on net interest margin.
Year-over-year branch-raised deposit growth was 10%. A key strategic objective, supported by our investment in the new core banking system, is to increase the level of these deposits as they strengthen relationships by providing clients with relevant tools for managing their finances.
Preferred types of branch-raised deposits also have attractive liquidity characteristics, are typically lower cost, and provide associated transactional fee income. As such, we place specific emphasis on growing personal and business deposits raised within the branch network, as well as through trust services and, given suitable market conditions, Canadian Direct Financial, CWB''s Internet-based division.
Credit stress remains confined to oil and gas production loans
Total gross impaired loans of $106.7 million compare to $92.3 million in the third quarter last year and improved from $145.0 million last quarter. Inclusive of the 78 basis point provision for credit losses last quarter and a sequentially-improved third quarter provision of 32 basis points, the year-to-date provision as a percentage of average loans was 43 basis points at July 31, 2016. Significantly higher provisioning within the oil and gas portfolio has resulted from the impact of persistently low and volatile energy commodity prices on producer cash flows, as well as the influence of regulatory factors on the liquidity of assets securing these exposures. Credit quality outside of our portfolio of oil and gas production loans remains stable, and we continue to expect the fiscal 2016 provision to fall in a range between 35 to 45 basis points.
As we work with our clients through the challenging operating environment in Alberta and Saskatchewan, we continue to carefully monitor the entire loan portfolio across our geographic footprint for signs of weakness resulting from the first and second order impacts of lower oil prices. We are also carefully monitoring developments within the residential housing sector, with a particular focus on markets where a combination of rapid price escalation and regulatory change could impact pricing and the level of future activity. Although we expect periodic increases in the balance of impaired loans across the portfolio, we anticipate loss rates on impaired loans outside of oil and gas production lending to be consistent with our prior experience, where write-offs have been low as a percentage of impaired loans. This assumption is based on the expected combined positive impact of our disciplined underwriting, secured lending practices and proactive account management.
Based on the results of stress tests simulating severe economic conditions in Alberta and Saskatchewan, in combination with very challenging economic conditions throughout the rest of CWB''s geographic footprint over a multi-year timeframe, we remain confident CWB will continue to deliver positive earnings for shareholders while maintaining financial stability and a strong capital position.
Efficient Operations and Positive Operating Leverage
In view of the level of investment necessary to facilitate ongoing implementation of our relationship-focused strategy, as well as the low probability of meaningful short-term improvement in net interest margin, we expect our efficiency ratio to fluctuate at levels moderately higher than the recent past. Combined amortization and sustainment costs related to the new core banking system have added to our expense base commencing this quarter. However, we expect this investment to facilitate both revenue growth and cost efficiencies over the medium-term, as well as help us achieve our strategic client relationship-related objectives. In general, expense growth at or near a double-digit annual rate in percentage terms is consistent with our medium-term objectives.
Third quarter operating leverage was positive as strong year-over-year growth of total revenues outpaced moderate growth of non-interest expenses. We are committed to disciplined control of all discretionary expenses and expect to achieve positive operating leverage over the medium-term. However, in view of the above mentioned increases to our cost base and the likelihood for ongoing pressure on net interest margin to constrain revenue growth, we expect to experience occasional periods of negative operating leverage.
Prudent Capital Management and Dividends
With the issuance of $150 million of common shares this quarter, CWB is well-positioned to continue to execute against our balanced growth strategy while ensuring resilience and flexibility through the maintenance of strong regulatory capital ratios under the more conservative Standardized approach for calculating risk-weighted assets. The common share dividend declared yesterday of $0.23 per share is consistent with the prior quarter and 5% higher than the dividend declared one year ago. Common share dividend increases are evaluated every quarter against the dividend payout ratio target of approximately 30%. The third quarter dividend payout ratio was 40%, primarily reflecting the current impact of the credit performance of oil and gas loans on common shareholders'' net income, as well as net interest margin pressure. The timing of future dividend increases will be influenced by capital requirements under the Standardized approach to support ongoing strong and balanced asset growth, as well as challenges related to persistent net interest margin pressure and ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty. Yesterday CWB''s Board of Directors also declared dividends on the Series 5 and Series 7 preferred shares.

These forecasts are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties that may be general or specific. Where relevant, material economic assumptions underlying forward looking statements are disclosed within the Outlook sections of this MD&A.
Acquisitions of CWB Maxium Financial and CWB Franchise Finance
On March 1, 2016, CWB acquired the non-securitized lending assets and other net business assets, including key employees, of Maxium Financial Services Inc. and Desante Financial Services Inc., now referred to as "CWB Maxium Financial" (CWB Maxium). CWB Maxium provides loans, equipment leases and structured financing solutions to more than 35,000 clients, mainly in Ontario. Specialized financing solutions are primarily provided in the areas of health care, golf, transportation, real estate, and general corporate financing. Securitized assets that were originated prior to March 1, 2016 were not included in the transaction. The purchase agreement is structured over three years with maximum total consideration of up to $120 million. The acquisition was funded at closing with 1,250,312 common shares valued at $25.6 million and $19.5 million in cash. Remaining consideration consists of contingent payments to the vendors that could total up to $70.5 million, with an estimated fair value at the acquisition date of $16.4 million. Contingent payment installments will be made annually with determination of the total amount payable based on CWB Maxium''s cumulative business performance over a 36-month purchase price adjustment period. Up to 50% of the total contingent consideration may be settled with CWB shares at the vendors'' option, provided the average share price over the 20 days preceding issuance exceeds $30.00, with the remainder to be paid in cash. Full disclosure of the accounting treatment of the transaction is provided in Note 3 of the unaudited interim financial statements. Other than the contingent consideration payable to the vendors, there were no other contingent liabilities or commitments arising from the acquisition.
On July 1, 2016, CWB acquired GE Capital''s Canadian Franchise Finance platform, now referred to as "CWB Franchise Finance". The business provides financing across Canada to a diverse group of established companies in the franchised hospitality and restaurant industries. The acquisition included key employees to support CWB''s continued strategic commercial banking growth and geographic expansion. The balance of loans acquired was approximately $350 million. Financial consideration was comprised of cash and no goodwill or intangible assets are included in the purchase structure.
In combination, these two strategic acquisitions are expected to be slightly accretive to adjusted cash earnings per share this year, with accelerating contributions thereafter.
Overview of Continuing Operations
Q3 2016 vs. Q3 2015
Common shareholders'' net income of $45.6 million was down 11%. A 10% increase in total revenue was more than offset by the impact of a $9.4 million increase in provisions for credit losses, mainly attributed to the credit performance of oil and gas production loans, moderate growth of non-interest expenses, the addition of acquisition-related changes in fair value of contingent consideration this quarter, higher preferred share dividends and income taxes. Net interest income (teb) of $149.5 million was up 6% as the benefit of very strong 14% loan growth was partially offset by a 17 basis point decrease in net interest margin (teb). Non-interest income increased 47% to $19.5 million, primarily due to nil net gains on securities compared to net losses of $5.0 million in the third quarter last year. Diluted earnings per common share of $0.55 and adjusted cash earnings per common share, which excludes the acquisition-related amortization of intangible assets and contingent consideration fair value changes, net of tax, of $0.60 were down 14% and 8%, respectively. Excluding provisions for credit losses and income taxes in all periods, pre-tax, pre-provision (PTPP) earnings reflected strong core operating performance and were up 6% to $82.2 million.
Q3 2016 vs. Q2 2016
Common shareholders'' net income was up 42%, mainly reflecting the larger impact of energy-related provisions for credit losses last quarter. Net interest income (teb) increased 3%, as the positive impacts of 2% loan growth and two additional interest earning days was partially offset by a decline of seven basis points in net interest margin. Non-interest income of $19.5 million was relatively consistent with the prior quarter. PTPP earnings were 3% lower, primarily due to increased preferred share dividends this quarter and acquisition-related changes in fair value of contingent consideration.
YTD 2016 vs. YTD 2015
Common shareholders'' net income of $129.9 million was down 16% as provisions for credit losses of $66.0 million compared to $22.4 million last year. Net interest income (teb) increased 8% to $438.8 million, as the positive impact of very strong 12% loan growth offset a 13 basis point decline in net interest margin (teb) to 2.45%.
Non-interest income of $53.5 million was 7% higher reflecting gains in most categories, including a decrease of $1.5 million in net losses on securities. Diluted earnings per common share of $1.59 and adjusted cash earnings per common share of $1.66 were down 18% and 15%, respectively. Year-to-date PTPP earnings of $248.1 million increased 6%.
ROE and ROA
To adjust for the impact of acquisition-related accounting items which represent charges not considered indicative of ongoing operating performance, CWB calculates an adjusted return on common shareholders'' equity which excludes the acquisition-related amortization of intangible assets and contingent consideration fair value changes, net of tax, from common shareholders'' net income.
Third quarter adjusted return on common shareholders'' equity (adjusted ROE) was 10.3%, compared to 11.9% last year and 7.4% in the previous quarter. Year-to-date adjusted ROE was 9.8%, compared to 12.8% last year. Return on assets (ROA) of 0.73% was down from 0.94% a year earlier and up from 0.55% last quarter.
Lower profitability ratios compared to last year primarily resulted from higher provisions for credit losses this year. Improvement in adjusted ROE compared to the prior quarter was partially constrained by the issuance of common shares on July 7, 2016.
Outlook for Profitability Ratios
Compared to fiscal 2015, we expect earnings in fiscal 2016 to be lower in view of the impact of elevated provisions for credit losses on year-to-date performance, as well as ongoing pressure on net interest margin. Common shares issued on July 7, 2016 strengthened CWB''s capital position and will support CWB''s ongoing profitable and balanced growth; however, this issuance will result in higher levels of common shareholders'' equity this year and have a moderate negative impact on adjusted ROE compared to prior expectations.
Total Revenue (teb) from Continuing Operations
Third quarter total revenue of $169.1 million, comprised of both net interest income (teb) and non-interest income, grew 10% compared to the same quarter in 2015 and 3% from the prior quarter, reflecting strong core operating performance. Year-to-date total revenues of $492.3 million were up 8% from last year.
Net Interest Income (teb)
Q3 2016 vs. Q3 2015
Net interest income (teb) of $149.5 million was up 6% primarily reflecting the benefit of very strong 14% loan growth, partially offset by a 17 basis point decrease in net interest margin (teb) to 2.40%. Of note, the decrease includes a one-time impact of three basis points related to a change in methodology for the recognition of certain loan fees. The Bank of Canada''s July 2015 interest rate cut had a negative impact on loan and securities yields compared to last year, with a further impact of competitive factors on loan pricing. Corresponding reductions in the cost of various deposits and favourable changes in deposit mix, partly resulting from strong growth in preferred types of branch-raised demand and notice deposits, did not fully offset the impact of these negative factors on net interest margin.
Q3 2016 vs. Q2 2016
Net interest income was up 3% reflecting the benefit of 2% loan growth and two additional interest earning days, partially offset by a seven basis point reduction in net interest margin (teb). Three basis points of the sequential decline in net interest margin related to the change in methodology for the recognition of certain loan fees discussed above. Other factors included lower asset yields, higher overall deposit costs, partially due to increased reliance on broker-sourced funding in support of very strong asset growth, and incremental changes in loan mix.
YTD 2016 vs. YTD 2015
Net interest income (teb) of $438.8 million increased 8% due to the combined benefits of very strong 12% loan growth, partially offset by a 13 basis point reduction in net interest margin (teb) to 2.45%. One basis point of the decline related to the change in methodology for the recognition of certain loan fees discussed above. The remaining change in net interest margin (teb) reflects factors similar to those discussed above in the comparison of quarterly performance to the third quarter last year.
Interest rate sensitivity
Note 13 to the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements summarizes CWB''s exposure to interest rate risk as at July 31, 2016. The estimated sensitivity of net interest income to a change in interest rates is presented in the table below. The amounts represent the estimated change in net interest income that would result over the following 12 months from a one-percentage point change in interest rates. The estimates are based on a number of assumptions and factors, which include:
In addition to the projected changes in net interest income noted above, it is estimated that a one-percentage point increase in all interest rates at July 31, 2016 would increase unrealized losses related to available-for-sale securities and the fair value of interest rate swaps designated as hedges, and result in a reduction in other comprehensive income of approximately $51.4 million, net of tax (July 31, 2015 - $73.0 million). It is estimated that a one-percentage point decrease in all interest rates at July 31, 2016 would have the opposite effect, increasing other comprehensive income by approximately $50.3 million, net of tax (July 31, 2015 - $67.5 million). Management maintains the asset liability structure and interest rate sensitivity within CWB''s established policies through pricing and product initiatives, as well as the use of interest rate swaps.
Outlook for net interest margin (teb)
Continued pressure on net interest margin may result from the combined impact of the current low interest rate environment, competitive factors and the persistently flat yield curve. The negative impact of the change in methodology for the recognition of certain loan fees is expected to be a one-time item. CWB will maintain its strategic focus on mitigating the earnings impact of ongoing margin pressure through continued implementation of its balanced growth strategy. This strategy includes efforts to optimize the overall cost of funds through targeted growth of lower-cost funding sources, as well as selective, geographically diversified growth in higher yielding loan portfolios with an acceptable risk profile.
Provision for Credit Losses
The third quarter provision for credit losses measured against average loans was 32 basis points, compared to 17 basis points last year and 78 basis points in the prior quarter. Of the provision this quarter, 12 basis points related to direct oil and gas exposures, 11 basis points to other, non-energy related exposures, and nine basis points comprised an increase in the collective allowance. As at October 31, 2015, CWB''s five year average of annual net new specific allowances, excluding increases to the collective allowance, was approximately 12 basis points. The year-to-date provision for credit losses was 43 basis points, compared to 16 basis points last year. This compares to our original expectation for the provision to fall between 18 and 23 basis points, with the increase primarily attributed to specific allowances recorded against energy loans. Significantly higher provisioning within this portion of the oil and gas portfolio has resulted from the impact of persistently low and volatile energy commodity prices on producer cash flows, borrowing base redeterminations and the influence of regulatory factors on the liquidity of assets securing these exposures. Credit quality outside of our portfolio of oil and gas production loans remains stable, and management continues to expect the fiscal 2016 provision to fall in a range between 35 to 45 basis points as a percentage of average loans.
Acquisition-related Fair Value Changes
The estimated fair value of contingent consideration related to the acquisition of CWB Maxium increased by $3.9 million during the third quarter, reflecting the operating performance of this newly acquired business. Quarterly contingent consideration similar in magnitude through the remainder of the three-year earn out period would represent the maximum amount available through the purchase agreement.
Non-interest Income from Continuing Operations
Q3 2016 vs. Q3 2015
Non-interest income increased 47% to $19.5 million, primarily reflecting nil net gains/losses on securities compared to net losses of $5.0 million last year. The $1.6 million increase in ''other'' non-interest income mainly related to gains on the sales of residential mortgages this quarter.
Q3 2016 vs. Q2 2016
Non-interest income was relatively consistent reflecting stability across most categories. Higher ''other'' non-interest income offset a decrease in retail fees.
YTD 2016 vs. YTD 2015
Non-interest income of $53.5 million was 7% higher, reflecting gains in most categories including a $1.5 decrease in net losses on securities and a $1.0 million increase in ''other'' non-interest income. Higher ''other'' non-interest income relates to gains on the sales of residential mortgages discussed above.
Outlook for non-interest income from Continuing Operations
The outlook for growth in banking-related fee income is relatively consistent with anticipated loan and deposit growth. Trust services and CWB Wealth Management are also expected to continue to provide consistent contributions.
CWB has liquidated its holdings of common equities and has no plans to re-establish this portfolio. In view of this change, and based on the current composition of the securities portfolio, net gains/losses on securities in the fourth quarter are not expected to have a material impact on non-interest income although financial market conditions are inherently unpredictable in the short-term. Management will realize gains on the sale of residential mortgage portfolios as opportunities become available. Such gains are anticipated to be a recurring, although sporadic, source of ''other'' non-interest income.
Non-interest Expenses from Continuing Operations
Q3 2016 vs. Q3 2015
Quarterly non-interest expenses of $78.5 million were up 5% ($4.0 million) due to 5% ($2.2 million) higher salaries and benefits and a 12% ($1.5 million) increase in premises and equipment expenses. General expenses of $14.1 million were relatively unchanged from last year. The change in salaries and benefits mainly resulted from annual salary increments and modest increases in staff complement to support ongoing growth across all businesses, partially offset by lower estimated performance-based executive compensation. Costs related to the amortization and sustainment of the core banking system following implementation on May 2, 2016, contributed approximately $1.2 million to premises and equipment expenses.
Q3 2016 vs. Q2 2016
Non-interest expenses were relatively unchanged as slightly lower salaries and benefits, along with stable general expenses, offset a slight increase in premises and equipment expenses which mainly resulted from the banking system implementation. The decrease in salaries and benefits relates to a change in estimated performance-based executive compensation discussed above, as well as the elimination of certain temporary positions related to the core banking system project.
YTD 2016 vs. YTD 2015
Non-interest expenses of $232.5 million increased 7% ($14.8 million) due to 7% ($9.8 million) higher salaries and benefits, a 7% ($2.6 million) increase in premises and equipment expense, and a 6% ($2.4 million) increase in general expenses. Changes in salaries and benefits, and premises and equipment expenses reflect the factors discussed above.
Outlook for non-interest expenses from Continuing Operations
A key priority for CWB is to deliver strong long-term growth in adjusted cash earnings per share through strategic investment while maintaining effective control of costs. CWB''s current investments in people, technology and infrastructure are expected to contribute to long-term shareholder value through improved financial performance in future periods.
Combined amortization and sustainment costs related to the new core banking system are expected to add approximately $2.0 million to non-interest expenses on a quarterly basis commencing next quarter. Upgrades and expansion of branch infrastructure continue, including the addition this quarter of a new full-service branch in Lloydminster, Saskatchewan. Compliance with an increasing level of regulatory rules and oversight for all Canadian banks requires the investment of both time and resources, which further contributes to higher non-interest expenses.
In view of the level of investment currently underway, non-interest expense growth is expected to increase moderately over the near term compared to the recent past. In general, annual expense growth at or near a double-digit annual rate in percentage terms is consistent with CWB''s strategic direction and medium-term performance objectives.
Core banking system implementation
CWB''s new core banking system was successfully launched on May 2, 2016, and a planned four-month stabilization period is nearly complete. Total investment was consistent with estimated total costs of up to $71 million.
The implementation of this important new technology reflects several years of focused effort on the part of CWB''s dedicated project team as well as a tremendous team effort within CWB''s branches and corporate office during and after implementation. Management expects CWB to realize significant benefits related to this improved technology in due course, including the ability to leverage a client-centric view of CWB''s branch-based client relationships, and support for CWB''s eventual transition to the Advanced Internal Ratings Based (AIRB) methodology for calculating risk weighted assets.
Efficiency ratio and operating leverage
To adjust for the impact of acquisition-related accounting items which represent charges not considered indicative of ongoing operating performance, CWB calculates its efficiency ratio excluding the amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and contingent consideration fair value changes.
The third quarter efficiency ratio (teb) was 45.4%, improved from 47.7% last year. The positive impact on total revenues of very strong loan growth and higher non-interest income more than offset the impact of lower net interest margin (teb) and higher expenses.
The efficiency ratio improved from 46.7% in the previous quarter as the combined benefits of 2% loan growth, stable non-interest income and the temporary reduction in salaries and benefits offset the impact of lower net interest margin (teb).
The year-to-date efficiency ratio (teb) of 46.3% improved from 46.8%, as the benefit of very strong 12% loan growth and increased non-interest income offset the impact of lower net interest margin (teb) and higher non-interest expenses.
Third quarter operating leverage was positive 5% as strong year-over-year growth in total revenues outpaced moderate growth in non-interest expenses.
Outlook for the efficiency ratio and operating leverage
Ongoing pressure on net interest margin has constrained revenue growth compared to expectations. In view of the level of necessary strategic investment, as discussed above, as well as the low probability of meaningful short-term improvement in net interest margin, management expects CWB''s efficiency ratio to fluctuate at levels moderately higher than the recent past and occasional periods of negative operating leverage to be apparent.
Income Taxes
The third quarter effective income tax rate (teb) for Continuing Operations was 27.7%, compared to 25.8% last year. The year-to-date effective income tax rate (teb) for Continuing Operations was 27.5% compared to 26.2% last year. The 20% increase in Alberta''s provincial corporate income tax rate, from 10% to 12%, effective July 1, 2015, had a negative impact on year-to-date adjusted cash earnings per share of approximately $0.03 compared to the same period last year.
Outlook for income taxes
CWB''s expected income tax rate (teb) for 2016 is approximately 27.5%.
Overview of Discontinued Operations
The components of net income from Discontinued Operations included in the interim consolidated statements of income, which are attributable entirely to CWB common shareholders, follow:
Third quarter and year-to-date common shareholders'' net income from Discontinued Operations was nil compared to $107.6 million and $111.5 million, respectively, in 2015. Third quarter and year-to-date adjusted cash earnings per common share were nil compared to $1.33 and $1.38, respectively, in 2015. Common shareholders'' net income and adjusted cash earnings per share from Discontinued Operations last year were primarily comprised of divestiture gains.
Overview of Combined Operations
Q3 2016 vs. Q3 2015
Common shareholders'' net income of $45.6 million was down from $158.8 million, with the difference primarily reflecting divestiture gains of $107.6 million from Discontinued Operations in the third quarter last year, as well as the factors discussed above within the overview of Continuing Operations. Diluted earnings per common share of $0.55 and adjusted cash earnings per common share of $0.60 both decreased from $1.97 and $1.98, respectively.
Q3 2016 vs. Q2 2016
Common shareholders'' net income increased 42% reflecting the factors discussed above within the overview of Continuing Operations.
YTD 2016 vs. YTD 2015
Common shareholders'' net income of $129.9 million decreased from $266.6 million, mainly due to the contribution of divestiture gains from Discontinued Operations last year, as well as the factors discussed above within the overview of Continuing Operations. Diluted earnings per common share of $1.59 and adjusted cash earnings per common share of $1.66 were down from $3.31 and $3.34, respectively.
ROE and ROA
Third quarter adjusted return on common shareholders'' equity (adjusted ROE) was 10.3%, compared to 36.5% last year and 7.4% last quarter. Return on assets (ROA) of 0.73% compares to 2.90% a year earlier and 0.55% last quarter. Year-to-date adjusted ROE of 9.8% compares to 21.9% last year, and ROA of 0.72% was down from 1.67%.
Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income is comprised of common shareholders'' net income from Combined Operations and other comprehensive income (OCI), all net of income taxes.
Q3 2016 vs. Q3 2015
Comprehensive income of $66.0 million was down from $164.8 million in the same period last year. Lower net income mainly reflected the contribution of divestiture gains from Discontinued Operations last year, as well as the impact of higher provisions for credit losses on net income from Continuing Operations this year. OCI of $15.9 million was $11.7 million higher than last year.
Changes in OCI, all net of tax, resulted from an increase in fair value of available-for-sale securities, partially offset by a reduction in the fair value of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges. With liquidation of common share holdings, CWB''s portfolio of available-for-sale securities is now comprised of debt securities and investment grade preferred shares. While the combined dollar investment in the portfolios of preferred shares is relatively small in relation to total assets, volatility in the market value of these securities increases the potential for comparatively larger fluctuations in OCI.
YTD 2016 vs. YTD 2015
Comprehensive income of $147.0 million was down from $253.0 million last year, primarily due to lower common shareholders'' net income. Net income of $137.7 million compared to $271.8 million last year, with the decrease reflecting both the contribution of divestiture gains from Discontinued Operations in 2015 and the impact of energy-related provisions for credit losses on net income from Continuing Operations this year. OCI was $28.1 million higher as gains from changes in the fair value of available-for-sale securities of $14.9 million compared to losses of $39.8 million last year. This was partially offset by fair value losses of $7.9 million related to derivatives designated as cash flow hedges compared to $10.9 million of fair value gains in the prior year.
Balance Sheet
Total assets increased 13% in the past year, 4% in the quarter and 10% on a year-to-date basis to reach $25,185 million at July 31, 2016.
Cash and Securities
Cash, securities and securities purchased and sold under resale and repurchase agreements totaled $2,979 million at July 31, 2016, compared to $2,856 million a year earlier and $2,427 million at the end of last quarter.
The cash and securities portfolio is comprised of high quality debt instruments and investment grade preferred shares that are not held for trading purposes and, where applicable, are typically held until maturity. CWB''s holdings of common equities have been liquidated.
Net unrealized losses on securities from Continuing Operations recorded on the balance sheet of $52.7 million were up slightly from $49.1 million as at July 31, 2015, and down from $72.5 million last quarter. Fluctuations in value are generally attributed to changes in interest rates, movements in market credit spreads and shifts in the interest rate curve. The difference compared to last year primarily reflects decreases in the market value of preferred shares. The change from last quarter primarily reflects higher market values for preferred shares and fixed income securities.
Net realized gains/losses on securities of nil in the third quarter compare to net losses of $5.0 million last year and were consistent with the previous quarter. Year-to-date net losses on securities of $2.9 million compare to net losses of $4.4 million last year. Net losses on securities in prior periods primarily reflected the impact of volatile financial market conditions on CWB''s previously held portfolio of common equities. CWB''s common equity holdings have been liquidated and management does not intend to re-establish this portfolio. Based on the current composition of the securities portfolio, net gains/losses on securities are not expected to have a material impact on non-interest income in the fourth quarter, although financial market conditions are inherently unpredictable in the short-term.
Treasury Management
The average balance of cash and securities as a percentage of total assets in the third quarter was relatively consistent with the same quarter last year and the prior quarter. CWB held liquidity early in the quarter in preparation for the July 1, 2016 closing of the CWB Franchise Finance acquisition. Management expects to maintain a conservative level of liquid assets as a percentage of total assets. CWB remains compliant with the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions'' (OSFI) Liquidity Adequacy Requirements guideline.
Loans
CWB has achieved another year of balanced, double-digit loan growth by the end of the third quarter, marking the 26th time in 27 years CWB has achieved this significant level of performance. Total loans, excluding the allowance for credit losses, grew 14% ($2,701 million) in the past twelve months, 2% ($478 million) in the quarter and 12% ($2,285 million) year-to-date to reach $21,854 million. Acquisition of the CWB Franchise Finance portfolio contributed approximately $350 million to general commercial loans this quarter. Third quarter net originations within CWB Maxium were approximately $100 million, also primarily comprised of general commercial loans.
In dollar terms, year-over-year growth by lending sector was led by real estate project loans ($1,123 million) as CWB continued to identify opportunities to finance well-capitalized developers on the basis of sound loan structures and acceptable pre-sale/lease levels. Growth in general commercial loans ($917 million) was also strong, as was the increase in personal loans and mortgages ($612 million). Commercial mortgages were up $231 million, and equipment financing and leasing grew $29 million. Corporate lending declined by $158 million and exposure to oil and gas production loans decreased $53 million to $257 million.
On a sequential basis, third quarter growth was led by general commercial loans ($522 million), primarily due to the contributions of CWB Franchise Finance and CWB Maxium discussed above. Real estate project loans were up $158 million, and personal loans and mortgages grew $76 million. Corporate lending contracted by $111 million, the balance of oil and gas production loans declined $70 million, commercial mortgages were down $60 million and equipment financing and leasing contracted $37 million. Contraction of these portfolios mainly occurred within Alberta. With the exception of corporate lending, stable growth was evident across most portfolios outside of Alberta.
Lending activity in British Columbia showed the highest growth in dollar terms on a year-over-year basis, followed by Ontario and Alberta. Loan growth within BC and Ontario accounted for more than three quarters of the increase from July 31, 2015, while Alberta accounted for less than one tenth of CWB''s year-over-year growth. Alberta now represents approximately 38% of CWB''s overall loan exposure by location of security, down from 50% in 2009.
Optimum Mortgage
Net of the sale of three portfolios totalling $71 million on a year-to-date basis, total loans of $2,184 million within Optimum increased 23% ($413 million) year-over-year, 3% ($62 million) compared to the prior quarter and 13% ($256 million) year-to-date. Growth for the quarter was driven almost exclusively by alternative mortgages secured via first mortgages carrying a weighted average loan-to-value ratio at initiation of approximately 69%. The book value of alternative mortgages represented 92% of Optimum''s total portfolio at quarter end, compared to 88% last year and 89% in the prior quarter. Ontario continues to account for more than half of all new originations. At approximately 44% of the total, Ontario also represents the largest geographic exposure by province within Optimum''s portfolio, followed by Alberta at 27% and British Columbia at 16%. The average size of Optimum mortgages originated in the third quarter was approximately $311,000, and the average size of mortgage outstanding at July 31, 2016 was approximately $251,000.
Outlook for Optimum Mortgage
Optimum is expected to continue to deliver strong performance with an attractive risk profile based on the addition of business development staff to new markets within the past year and maintenance of disciplined underwriting criteria at all times. This includes a generally conservative approach to risk, manual adjudication of each loan application and reduced loan-to-value ratios at initiation within housing markets perceived to be more vulnerable to price correction. Canadian residential real estate markets have been resilient and affordability in most geographic areas outside of certain neighborhoods in Toronto and Vancouver remains within historical ranges, largely reflecting very low interest rates. Reduced housing sector activity and softer pricing is apparent in Alberta and Saskatchewan, and the combination of historically high price levels and sentiment related to potential economic headwinds caused by low energy prices could lead to further moderation of housing sector activity in these and other markets. Preliminary stress testing of Optimum''s portfolio to simulate the impact of a 50% price correction in Vancouver, a 40% price correction in Toronto, and a 30% price correction elsewhere across the country, along with reasonable related macroeconomic assumptions, produces a one-year loss rate of approximately 50 basis points as a percentage of Optimum''s outstanding loans.
Outlook for loans
CWB will continue to support high quality borrowers operating within targeted industry segments and selectively pursue opportunities for profitable growth across Canada. Very strong loan growth through the first three quarters of the year was the result of significantly higher relative contributions from non-oil producing provinces across CWB''s growing geographic footprint and includes the impact of Optimum Mortgage, National Leasing and CWB''s newly acquired businesses. Continued economic strength in the U.S. and a lower Canadian dollar are expected to support an escalation of manufacturing and exporting activity in all provinces, especially BC, Ontario and Manitoba. Taken together, these three provinces account for greater than half of CWB''s geographic exposure. Alberta and Saskatchewan are currently assumed to be in recession and are generally expected to continue to underperform the rest of Canada over the near term. This is primarily based on the recognition of diminished resource-related activity resulting from persistent low oil prices. As such, loan growth in these two provinces is expected to remain slow through the remainder of 2016 as compared to the levels achieved in recent years. Approximately 80% of the current business of both CWB Maxium and CWB Franchise Finance is outside of Western Canada, and combined annual commercial lending originations from these sources are expected to exceed $500 million commencing in fiscal 2017.
Credit Quality
Credit quality outside of the portfolio of oil and gas production loans remains stable. This reflects CWB''s secured lending business model and continued strong underwriting practices, proactive loan management and the management experience and financial stability of CWB''s client base. CWB has no material exposure to unsecured personal borrowing, including credit cards.
Within the oil and gas production portfolio, the impact of very low commodity prices on producer cash flows early in the calendar year, as well as borrowing base redeterminations and the influence of regulatory factors on the liquidity of assets securing these exposures has led to significant credit stress over the last two quarters. In view of these factors, CWB recorded $32.5 million of pre-tax provisions for credit losses against oil and gas production loans last quarter, and an additional $6.8 million of net allowances this quarter. Total cumulative specific provisions of $41.4 million have been recorded against these loans.
CWB''s direct exposure to the energy industry is relatively small at approximately 3% of total loans outstanding, comprised of loans to exploration and production companies representing approximately 1%, and loans to energy service companies representing approximately 2%. Nearly three quarters of CWB''s direct exposure to exploration and production companies is now comprised of advances to borrowers with strong balance sheets and substantial proven, developed and producing resources.
Loans to service companies are primarily comprised of term-reducing advances against standard industrial equipment, rather than operating lines of credit or loans secured against receivables and/or inventory. These factors mitigate the loss potential of CWB''s limited exposures to the energy services sector. Management continues to proactively monitor all accounts with a particular focus on those located within the oil-exporting provinces. To date, the impact of lower oil prices outside of the oil and gas portfolio has been minimal and consistent with expectations.
The dollar level of gross impaired loans at July 31, 2016 totaled $106.7 million, up from $92.3 million last year and down from $145.0 million in the prior quarter. Total gross impaired loans within Alberta of $42.6 million at July 31, 2016 increased from $33.9 million in the third quarter last year, and were down from $80.4 million in the prior quarter. Gross impaired loans within the oil and gas production lending portfolio totaled $17.2 million at July 31, 2016, compared to $13.4 million in the third quarter last year and $53.8 million last quarter. There were no new oil and gas loans added to gross impaired loans this quarter. Total third quarter gross impaired loans from CWB''s equipment financing and leasing exposures were $35.7 million, relatively unchanged from the prior quarter, with approximately 50% of the balance represented by Alberta exposures. Impairments in this category one year ago were $22.5 million, with approximately 30% represented by Alberta exposures.
The dollar level of gross impaired loans represented 0.49% of total loans at quarter end, compared to 0.48% last year and 0.68% at April 30, 2016. The level of gross impaired loans fluctuates as loans become impaired and are subsequently resolved, and does not directly reflect the dollar value of expected write-offs given tangible security held in support of lending exposures. The overall loan portfolio is reviewed regularly with credit decisions undertaken on a case-by-case basis to provide early identification of possible adverse trends. Loans that have become impaired are monitored closely by a specialized team with regular quarterly, or more frequent, reviews of each loan and its realization plan.
Specific allowances for expected write-offs are established through detailed analyses of both the overall quality and ultimate marketability of security held against each impaired account. Specific allowances attributed to oil and gas loans accounted for approximately 39% of the third quarter provision for credit losses, and approximately 63% of the provision on a year-to-date basis.
As at July 31, 2016, the collective allowance for credit losses exceeded the balance of impaired loans, net of specific allowances. The total allowance for credit losses (collective and specific) was $132.7 million at July 31, 2016, compared to $113.2 million a year earlier and $145.8 million last quarter. The total allowance for credit losses represented 124% of gross impaired loans at quarter end, compared to 123% one year ago and 101% last quarter. The collective allowance grew 5% over the past twelve months.
Outlook for credit quality
Credit quality outside of CWB''s portfolio of oil and gas production loans remains stable. However, recent loss rates related to impaired loans within the oil and gas portfolio have exceeded those experienced during prior economic cycles. As such, management continues to expect the annual provision to fall between 35 and 45 basis points as a percentage of average loans. As CWB works with clients through the challenging operating environment in Alberta, management continues to carefully monitor the entire loan portfolio for signs of weakness resulting from the first and second order impacts of lower oil prices. To date, no material impact has been evident.
In view of the decrease from last quarter, gross impaired loans remain low as a percentage of total loans, with the current level of 0.49% comparing to a peak during the prior credit cycle of 1.68% in the second quarter of 2010. Partially due the extended period of economic weakness within Alberta, including the impact of the Fort McMurray wildfires on economic activity across the province, we expect periodic further increases in the balance of impaired loans across the portfolio; however, we anticipate loss rates on impaired loans outside of oil and gas production lending to reflect the combined positive impact of our disciplined underwriting, secured lending practices and proactive account management, and to be more consistent with our prior experience. Ongoing loan management processes include assignment of experienced credit adjudicators to help branches and credit teams proactively identify and address higher risk loans.
Based on the results of stress tests simulating severe economic conditions in Alberta and Saskatchewan, in combination with very challenging economic conditions throughout the rest of CWB''s geographic footprint over a multi-year timeframe, manageme
