HOUSTON, Oct. 22, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Green Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: GNBC), the bank holding company (“Green Bancorp” or the “Company”) that operates Green Bank, N.A. (“Green Bank”), today announced results for its third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018.  The Company reported net income for the quarter of $15.6 million, or $0.41 per diluted common share.

Manny Mehos, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Green Bancorp, said, “The Company produced record operating earnings and financial metrics during the third quarter 2018 reflecting continued focus and execution.  I am proud of the team for producing this level of financial results while also working with Veritex Holdings Inc. on integration planning.  I remain excited about the proposed merger of Veritex and the Company and look forward to seeing the benefits of this proposed merger proven out over 2019 and beyond.”

Geoff Greenwade, President of Green Bancorp and Chief Executive Officer of Green Bank, commented, “We are pleased with our third quarter 2018 strong loan growth of $144 million, or 17.8% annualized. This growth was driven by a nice mix of commercial and industrial, commercial real estate, construction and residential mortgage lending.  The primary reasons for this higher than normal growth are the strong economies of Houston and Dallas-Fort Worth, banker capacity for new business, normal level of paydowns and having room to grow in most of our loan concentration categories.”

Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 was $15.6 million, a decrease of $824 thousand, or 5.0%, compared with $16.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2018. Net income per diluted common share was $0.41 for the quarter ended September 30, 2018, compared with $0.44 for the quarter ended June 30, 2018.  The decrease in net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 is primarily due to $3.0 million in merger-related costs recognized in the quarter.  During the quarter ended September 30, 2018, provision for loan losses decreased $1.6 million, or 83.1%.  Returns on average assets and average common equity, each on an annualized basis, for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 were 1.42% and 12.75%, respectively.

Noninterest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 was $5.5 million, in line with the quarter ended June 30, 2018.

Total loans, which includes loans held for investment and loans held for sale, at September 30, 2018 were $3.4 billion, an increase of $143.9 million, or 4.5%, when compared with June 30, 2018.  The increase was primarily due to increases of $72.3 million in commercial and industrial loans, $41.4 million in commercial real estate loans,  $22.7 million in construction and land loans and $13.9 million in residential mortgage loans, offset by a reduction of $7.7 million in mortgage warehouse loans.  At September 30, 2018, energy loans totaled $37.5 million, or 1.1%, of total loans.  SBA loans comprised the balance of loans held for sale at September 30, 2018.

Deposits at September 30, 2018 were $3.4 billion, a decrease of $11.6 million, or 0.3%, compared with June 30, 2018.  The net decrease is comprised of a $59.6 million, or 4.7%, decrease in interest-bearing transaction and savings deposits offset by increases of  $39.0 million, or 3.0%, in time deposits and a $9.1 million, or 1.1%, in noninterest-bearing deposits.  Noninterest-bearing deposits totaled 24.4% of total deposits at September 30, 2018.  Average deposits increased $15.2 million, or 0.4%, for the quarter ended September 30, 2018, compared with the prior quarter.

The allowance for loan losses was 1.05% of total loans held for investment at September 30, 2018, compared with 1.09% of total loans held for investment at June 30, 2018.  At September 30, 2018, the Company’s allowance for loan losses to total loans held for investment, excluding acquired loans that are accounted for under ASC 310-20 and ASC 310-30 and their related allowance, was 1.12%.  Further, the allowance for loan losses plus acquired loan net discount to total loans held for investment adjusted for acquired loan net discount was 1.08% as of September 30, 2018.

Net charge-offs were $220 thousand, or 0.01% of average loans, for the quarter ended September 30, 2018, compared with net charge-offs of $5.0 million, or 0.16% of average loans, for the quarter ended June 30, 2018.

Forward-looking Statements

This press release includes “forward-looking statements,” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  Forward-looking statements are based on various facts and derived utilizing important assumptions, current expectations, estimates and projections and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results, performance, outcomes or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance, outcomes or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.   Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements relating to the impact Green or Veritex expect the proposed transaction to have on the combined entity’s operations, financial condition, and financial results, and Green’s or Veritex’s expectations about the ability to successfully integrate the combined businesses and the amount of cost savings and overall operational efficiencies expected to be realized as a result of the proposed transaction.  The forward-looking statements may also include statements about Green’s, Veritex’s or the combined company’s future financial performance, business and growth strategy, projected plans and objectives, as well as other projections based on macroeconomic and industry trends, which are inherently unreliable due to the multiple factors that impact economic trends, and any such variations may be material.  Statements preceded by, followed by or that otherwise include the words “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “projects,” “estimates,” “plans” and similar expressions or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “should,” “would,” “may” and “could” are generally forward-looking in nature and not historical facts, although not all forward-looking statements include the foregoing.  Further, certain factors that could affect future results and cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the possibility that the proposed transaction does not close when expected or at all because required regulatory, shareholder or other approvals or other conditions to closing are not received or satisfied on a timely basis or at all, the failure to close for any other reason, changes in Veritex’s share price before closing, that the businesses of Veritex and Green will not be integrated successfully, that the cost savings and any synergies from the proposed transaction may not be fully realized or may take longer to realize than expected, disruption from the proposed transaction making it more difficult to maintain relationships with employees, customers or other parties with whom Veritex and/or Green have business relationships, diversion of management time on transaction-related issues, risks relating to the potential dilutive effect of shares of Veritex common stock to be issued in the proposed transaction, the reaction to the transaction of the companies’ customers, employees and counterparties and other factors, many of which are beyond the control of Veritex and Green.  We refer you to the “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” sections of Veritex’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed by Green for the year ended December 31, 2017, the Joint Proxy/Prospectus in the Form S-4 filed by Veritex on October 10, 2018 and any updates to those risk factors set forth in Veritex’s and Green’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and other filings, which have been filed with the SEC and are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.  If one or more events related to these or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or if Green’s or Veritex’s underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may differ materially from what Veritex or Green anticipates.  Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements.  Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made.  Neither Veritex nor Green undertakes any obligation, and specifically declines any obligation, to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.  All forward-looking statements, expressed or implied, included in this press release are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to herein.

In addition to factors previously disclosed in Green Bancorp’s reports filed with the SEC and those identified elsewhere in this communication, the following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements: changes in asset quality and credit risk; the inability to sustain revenue and earnings growth; changes in interest rates and capital markets; inflation; customer borrowing, repayment, investment and deposit practices; customer disintermediation; the introduction, withdrawal, success and timing of business initiatives; competitive conditions; the inability to realize cost savings or revenues or to implement integration plans and other consequences associated with mergers, acquisitions and divestitures; economic conditions; and the impact, extent and timing of technological changes, capital management activities, and other actions of the Federal Reserve Board and legislative and regulatory actions and reforms.

Notes to Financial Highlights
(Unaudited)

We identify certain financial measures discussed in this release as being “non‑GAAP financial measures.” In accordance with the SEC’s rules, we classify a financial measure as being a non‑GAAP financial measure if that financial measure excludes or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding or including amounts, that are included or excluded, as the case may be, in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as in effect from time to time in the United States in our statements of income, balance sheet or statements of cash flows. Non‑GAAP financial measures do not include operating and other statistical measures or ratios or statistical measures calculated using exclusively either financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, operating measures or other measures that are not non‑GAAP financial measures or both.

The non‑GAAP financial measures that we discuss in this release should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable or other financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, the manner in which we calculate the non‑GAAP financial measures that we discuss in this release may differ from that of other companies reporting measures with similar names. You should understand how such other banking organizations calculate their financial measures similar or with names similar to the non‑GAAP financial measures we have discussed in this release when comparing such non‑GAAP financial measures.

Tangible Book Value Per Common Share.  Tangible book value is a non‑GAAP measure generally used by financial analysts and investment bankers to evaluate financial institutions. We calculate: (a) tangible common equity as shareholders’ equity less goodwill and core deposit intangibles, net of accumulated amortization; and (b) tangible book value per common share as tangible common equity (as described in clause (a)) divided by shares of common stock outstanding. For tangible book value, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is our book value.

We believe that this measure is important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in changes from period to period in book value per common share exclusive of changes in intangible assets. Goodwill and other intangible assets have the effect of increasing total book value while not increasing our tangible book value.

The following table reconciles, as of the dates set forth below, total shareholders’ equity to tangible common equity and presents our tangible book value per common share compared with our book value per common share:

Tangible Common Equity to Tangible Assets.  Tangible common equity to tangible assets is a non‑GAAP measure generally used by financial analysts and investment bankers to evaluate financial institutions. We calculate: (a) tangible common equity as shareholders’ equity less goodwill and core deposit intangibles, net of accumulated amortization; (b) tangible assets as total assets less goodwill and core deposit intangibles, net of accumulated amortization; and (c) tangible common equity to tangible assets as tangible common equity (as described in clause (a)) divided by tangible assets (as described in clause (b)). For common equity to tangible assets, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is total shareholders’ equity to total assets.

We believe that this measure is important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in the relative changes from period to period in common equity and total assets, each exclusive of changes in intangible assets. Goodwill and other intangible assets have the effect of increasing both total shareholders’ equity and assets while not increasing our tangible common equity or tangible assets.

The following table reconciles, as of the dates set forth below, total shareholders’ equity to tangible common equity and total assets to tangible assets and presents our tangible common equity to tangible assets:

Return on Average Tangible Common Equity.  Return on average tangible common equity is a non‑GAAP measure generally used by financial analysts and investment bankers to evaluate financial institutions. We calculate: (a) average tangible common equity as average shareholders’ equity less average goodwill and average core deposit intangibles, net of accumulated amortization; (b) net income less the effect of intangible assets as net income plus amortization of core deposit intangibles, net of taxes; and (c) return (as described in clause (a)) divided by average tangible common equity (as described in clause (b)). For return on average tangible common equity, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is return on average equity.

We believe that this measure is important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in the return on common equity, exclusive of the impact of intangible assets.  Goodwill and other intangible assets, including core deposit intangibles, have the effect of increasing total shareholders’ equity, while not increasing our tangible common equity.  This measure is particularly relevant to acquisitive institutions who may have higher balances in goodwill and other intangible assets than non-acquisitive institutions.

The following table reconciles, as of the dates set forth below, average tangible common equity to average common equity and net income excluding amortization of core deposit intangibles, net of tax to net income and presents our return on average tangible common equity:

Allowance for Loan Losses less Allowance for Loan Losses on Acquired Loans to Total Loans Held for Investment excluding Acquired Loans.  The allowance for loan losses less allowance for loan losses on acquired loans to total loans held for investment excluding acquired loans is a non‑GAAP measure used by management to evaluate the Company’s financial condition.  Due to the application of purchase accounting, we use this non-GAAP ratio that excludes that impact of these items to evaluate our allowance for loan losses to total loans held for investment.  We calculate: (a) total allowance for loan losses less allowance for loan losses on acquired loans as allowance for loan losses less the allowance for loan losses on acquired loans; (b) total loans held for investment excluding acquired loans as total loans held for investment less the carrying value of acquired loans accounted for under ASC topics 310-20 and 310-30; and (c) allowance for loan losses less allowance for loan losses on acquired loans to total loans held for investment excluding acquired loans as the allowance for loan losses less allowance for loan losses on acquired loans (as calculated in clause (a)) divided by total loans held for investment excluding acquired loans (as calculated in clause (b)).  For allowance for loan losses less allowance for loan losses on acquired loans to total loans held for investment excluding acquired loans, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is allowance for loan losses to total loans held for investment.

We believe that this measure is important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in the relative changes from period to period in the allowance for loan losses less allowance for loan losses on acquired loans to total loans held for investment excluding acquired loans.  The acquired loans may have a premium or discount associated with them that includes a potential credit loss component with similar characteristics to the allowance for loan losses.  This measure reports the allowance for loan loss coverage to only those loans not accounted for pursuant to ASC topics 310-20 and 310-30 which may assist the investor in evaluating the allowance coverage of loans excluding acquired loans.

Allowance for Loan Losses plus Acquired Loan Net Discount to Total Loans Held for Investment adjusted for Acquired Loan Net Discount.  Allowance for loan losses plus acquired loan net discount to total loans held of investment adjusted for acquired loan net discount is a non‑GAAP measure used by management to evaluate the Company’s financial condition. We calculate: (a) allowance for loan losses plus acquired loan net discount as allowance for loan losses plus acquired loan net discount, net of accumulated amortization; (b) total loans held for investment adjusted for acquired loan net discount as total loans held for investment plus acquired loan net discount, net of accumulated amortization; and (c) allowance for loan losses plus acquired loan net discount to total loans held for investment adjusted for acquired loan net discount as allowance for loan losses plus acquired loan net discount (as calculated in clause (a)) divided by total loans held for investment adjusted for acquired loan net discount (as calculated in clause (b)).  For allowance for loan losses to total loans excluding acquired loans, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is allowance for loan losses to total loans.

We believe that this measure is important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in the relative changes from period to period in the allowance for loan losses plus the acquired loan net discount to total loans held for investment adjusted for the acquired loan net discount.  This measure reports the combined allowance for loan loss and acquired loan net discount (or premium) as a percentage of loans held for investment inclusive of the acquired loan net discount (or premium) which may assist the investor in evaluating allowance coverage on loans inclusive of additional discount or premium resulting from purchase accounting adjustments.

Operating Earnings, Pre-tax, Pre-provision Operating Earnings and performance metrics calculated using Operating Earnings and Pre-tax, Pre-provision Operating Earnings, including Diluted Operating Earnings per Share, Operating Return on Average Assets, Operating Return on Average Tangible Common Equity and Operating Efficiency Ratio.  Operating earnings and pre-tax, pre-provision operating earnings are non GAAP measures used by management to evaluate the Company’s financial performance.  We calculate (a) operating earnings as net income (loss) plus loss (gain) on sale of securities available-for-sale, net, plus loss (gain) on held for sale loans, net, plus stock based compensation expense for performance option vesting, plus shelf and secondary offering expenses.  We calculate (b) pre-tax, pre-provision operating earnings as (a) operating earnings plus provision (benefit) for income taxes, plus provision for loan losses.

We believe that these measures and the operating metrics calculated utilizing these measures are important to management and many investors in the marketplace who are interested in understanding the ongoing operating performance of the company and provide meaningful comparisons to its peers.
