BISMARCK, N.D., Feb. 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- BNCCORP, INC. (BNC or the Company) (OTCQX Markets: BNCC), which operates community banking and wealth management businesses in North Dakota, Arizona and Minnesota, and has mortgage banking offices in Arkansas, Illinois, Kansas, Missouri, Minnesota, Arizona and North Dakota, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2015.
Net income for the 2015 fourth quarter was $1.830 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, compared to net income of $2.476 million, or $0.57 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2014. Earnings for the fourth quarter of 2015 reflected lower net interest income and higher non-interest expenses than the same period of 2014. Non-interest income declined in the 2015 fourth quarter as revenue on Small Business Investment Company (SBIC) investments declined by $858 thousand. The provision for credit losses was $0 in the fourth quarters of 2015 and 2014. The ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets was 0.09% at December 31, 2015 compared to 0.03% at December 31, 2014. Book value per common share rose to $20.12 at December 31, 2015 from $18.28 a year earlier. Excluding accumulated other comprehensive income, book value per common share at December 31, 2015 was $18.93, compared to $16.72 at December 31, 2014.
The Company significantly reduced its cost of capital during 2015. On November 19, 2015, BNC redeemed its 20,093 shares of 9% Series A Preferred Stock at par. On December 21, 2015, BNC redeemed its 1,005 shares of 9% Series B Preferred Stock at par. Preferred stock costs were $232 thousand in the fourth quarter of 2015 compared with $475 thousand in the fourth quarter of 2014.
Redemption of the Preferred Stock was funded from cash available and new subordinated debt. BNC National Bank (the "Bank"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, paid an $11.0 million dividend to the Company in November of 2015. On October 19, 2015, the Company issued $10.0 million of subordinated debt that qualifies as Tier 2 capital. The subordinated debt matures October 19, 2025 and carries a fixed interest rate of 6.35%. The subordinated debt is eligible for prepayment at par after five years.
Annual dividends paid on the Company's Series A and B Preferred Stock prior to redemption aggregated approximately $1.656 million. The annual interest cost of the Company's new subordinated debt is estimated to be approximately $445 thousand after tax.
Timothy J. Franz, BNC President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "A good fourth quarter completed a strong year. Our progress for the year was marked by solid earnings growth and the redemption of our most expensive capital, as we capitalized on an environment favorable to mortgage banking and maintained exceptional credit quality metrics, despite subdued economic activity in energy and agriculture in North Dakota. These successes delivered value for BNC's shareholders as evidenced by our return on equity of 12.2% and a return on average assets of more than 1.0%."
Mr. Franz continued, "As 2016 begins, interest rates and strength in the housing market continue to favor mortgage banking and we look forward to improving net interest income by growing loans held for investment. In this regard, we are encouraged by the fourth quarter 2015 increase in these loans and our pipeline of new opportunities. At the same time, we will continue to closely monitor the energy segment, interest rates and macro economic conditions, which are less than robust. With our strong capital position, our proven ability to manage capital and a newly de-levered balance sheet, BNC has a solid base from which to move forward."
Fourth Quarter Results
Net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2015 was $6.217 million, a decrease of $462 thousand, or 6.9%, from $6.679 million in the same period of 2014. Interest income decreased by $426 thousand, or 5.8%, as the average balance of interest earning assets decreased by $56.1 million while yields on interest earning assets increased to 3.30% in the fourth quarter of 2015 from 3.28% in the fourth quarter of 2014. Average loans held for investment increased $7.7 million, or 2.2%, compared to the prior year fourth quarter. On average, loans held for sale decreased by only 3.8% when compared to the fourth quarter of 2014, as the lower interest rate environment continued to support mortgage activity in 2015. The average balance of investment securities decreased by $18.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2015 compared to the same period a year ago, while the yields decreased to 2.08% in 2015 compared to 2.22% in 2014. The lower yield on investments is the result of interest rate declines in recent periods and the changing composition of our investment portfolio. As of December 31, 2015, the balance of variable rate securities was $121.1 million compared to $61.6 million at December 31, 2014. These defensive investments have lower yields than investments that have repaid, or were sold, over the past year. In recent periods, we have also increased our investment in tax exempt municipal securities, which aggregated $93 million at December 31, 2015, due to the relatively attractive yields and value provided via reduced income tax expense.
Overall, the net interest margin declined to 2.96% in the fourth quarter of 2015 from 2.98% in the fourth quarter of 2014. On a taxable equivalent basis, the net interest margin increased to 3.15% in the fourth quarter of 2015 from 3.12% in the fourth quarter of 2014.
Interest expense in the fourth quarter of 2015 increased $36 thousand from the same period in 2014. Average interest bearing deposits decreased $36.0 million, or 5.7%. The cost of core deposits was 0.17% in the fourth quarter of 2015 and 0.16% in the fourth quarter of 2014. In aggregate, the cost of interest bearing liabilities increased to 0.44% in the current quarter from 0.40% in the same period of 2014, primarily due to the new issuance of subordinated debt in the fourth quarter of 2015.
Non-interest income for the fourth quarter of 2015 was $5.327 million, a decrease of $668 thousand, or 11.1% from $5.995 million in the fourth quarter of 2014. Excluding the impact of SBIC revenue, which was $858 thousand lower in the fourth quarter of 2015, non-interest income increased $189 thousand in the fourth quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. Bank service charges declined from $848 thousand to $716 thousand as a result of lower deposit activity. Mortgage banking revenue declined slightly to $3.067 million, in the fourth quarter of 2015, from $3.363 million in the fourth quarter of 2014. During the fourth quarter of 2015, we recorded a net loss on sales of investments of $77 thousand, compared to a $475 thousand net loss on sales of investments in the same period of 2014. The 2015 fourth quarter included gains on sales of loans of $433 thousand, compared to $227 thousand in the same period of 2014. Gains and losses on sales of investments, gains on sales of loans, and SBIC revenue can vary significantly from period to period.
Non-interest expense for the fourth quarter of 2015 was $9.240 million, an increase of $299 thousand, or 3.3%, from $8.941 million in the fourth quarter of 2014. This increase is primarily related to compensation for producers and expenses associated with mortgage banking activity.
In the fourth quarter of 2015, we recorded a tax expense of $474 thousand, a decrease from the $1.257 million income tax expense in the fourth quarter of 2014. The effective tax rate was 20.57% in the fourth quarter of 2015 compared to 33.67% in the same period of 2014. The lower tax expense in the fourth quarter of 2015 is due to a decrease in the annual estimated effective tax rate to attain a full year tax rate of 30.0% as the current estimated taxable income was lower than previous estimates. The higher effective tax rate in the fourth quarter 2014 reflected the relatively lower level of tax-exempt securities in the investment portfolio and the higher level of taxable SBIC investment revenue in the fourth quarter of 2014.
Net income available to common shareholders was $1.598 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2015 after accounting for dividends paid on preferred stock prior to redemption. The preferred stock costs, which are lower due to the redemption of preferred stock at the end of 2015, aggregated $232 thousand and $475 thousand in the fourth quarters of 2015 and 2014, respectively. Net income available to common shareholders in the fourth quarter of 2014 was $2.001 million, or $0.57 per diluted share.
Year Ended December 31, 2015
Net interest income in 2015 was $25.345 million, a decrease of $611 thousand, or 2.4%, from $25.956 million in 2014. Interest income decreased by $1.349 million, as the $12.4 million increase in the average balance of interest earning assets was more than offset by lower yields on earning assets, which decreased to 3.26% in 2015 compared to 3.47% in 2014. Average loans held for investment increased $18.9 million, or 5.7%, compared to the prior year, while the yield on loans held for investment decreased by 11 basis points in 2015 when compared to the same period of 2014. On average, loans held for sale increased by $16.3 million when compared to 2014, as lower interest rates have continued to bolster our mortgage banking operations. The average balance of investment securities decreased by $4.3 million in 2015 compared to the same period a year ago, while yields declined to 2.08% in 2015 from 2.57% in 2014 due to the lower interest rate environment and the shift of investments to more defensive securities. Overall, the net interest margin declined to 2.96% in 2015 from 3.07% in 2014. On a taxable equivalent basis, the net interest margin declined to 3.13% in 2015 from 3.21% in 2014.
Interest expense in 2015 decreased to $2.570 million in 2015 from $3.308 million in 2014. Average interest bearing deposits decreased to $613.7 million from $625.3 million in 2014, or 1.9%. The cost of core deposits declined to 0.16% in 2015 from to 0.17% in 2014. In aggregate, the cost of interest bearing liabilities declined to 0.40% in 2015, compared to 0.50% in 2014. This decrease in interest expense relates primarily to the redemption of brokered deposits in 2014 and 2015 and prepayment of subordinated debentures in 2014, which was partially offset by interest expense on the recently issued $10.0 million subordinated note.
A reversal of previous provisions for credit losses increased pre-tax earnings by $400 thousand in 2015. This compared to 2014, when a reversal of previous provisions for credit losses increased pre-tax earnings by $800 thousand.
Non-interest income in 2015 was $24.950 million, an increase of $4.496 million, or 22.0% from $20.454 million in 2014. Excluding the impact of SBIC revenue, which was $790 thousand lower in 2015, non-interest income increased to $24.022 million from $18.736 million, or 28.2%. The increase primarily relates to a $4.396 million, or 37.2%, increase in mortgage banking revenues, which aggregated $16.214 million in 2015, compared to $11.818 million in 2014. Mortgage banking revenues benefited from lower interest rates throughout 2015. During 2015, we recorded a net gain on sales of investments of $1.655 million, compared to a $53 thousand net gain on sales of investments in 2014. Gains on sales of loans were $1.138 million in 2015, compared to $1.915 million in 2014. Gains and losses on sales of investments, gains on sale of loans, and SBIC revenue can vary significantly from period to period.
Non-interest expense in 2015 was $37.544 million, an increase of $2.861 million, or 8.2%, from $34.683 million in 2014. This increase is primarily related to compensation for producers and expenses associated with higher mortgage banking activity.
During 2015, we recorded a tax expense of $3.945 million, equating to an effective tax rate of 30.0%. We recorded tax expense of $4.071 million during 2014, which resulted in an effective tax rate of 32.50%. The change in effective tax rate from 2015 to 2014 is primarily due to the increased tax-exempt investment income.
Net income available to common shareholders was $7.550 million, or $2.16 per diluted share, in 2015 after accounting for dividends paid on preferred stock. These costs aggregated $1.656 million in 2015 and $1.796 million in the same period of 2014. Net income available to common shareholders in 2014 was $6.660 million, or $1.91 per diluted share.
Assets, Liabilities and Equity
Total assets were $904.2 million at December 31, 2015, a decrease of $30.2 million, or 3.2%, compared to $934.4 million at December 31, 2014. In 2015, BNC's assets grew from the beginning of the year until mid-to-late second quarter and then decreased significantly until late in the year when modest growth occurred. Since the end of 2011 and through mid 2015, we have experienced asset growth resulting from an increase in deposits as our North Dakota clients profited from the robust regional economy. As noted in previous press releases, during 2015 some of these North Dakota customers deployed funds previously deposited with us. In addition, we redeemed brokered deposits aggregating $20 million this year. The decrease in total assets during 2015, in combination with our earnings, increased our regulatory capital and contributed to our ability to redeem preferred stock as discussed above.
Loans held for investment aggregated $379.9 million at December 31, 2015, an increase of $19.1 million since December 31, 2014 and $36.2 million from the third quarter of 2015. Throughout most of 2015, we experienced a decrease in loans held for investment as some North Dakota clients deferred investment decisions and repaid loans in response to softer economic conditions in the regions. As the year ended, we funded several loan held for investment. Our pipeline of loans held for investment is strong and we anticipate continued growth in future periods.
In recent years we have continued to increase our loans held for investment. The chart below depicts quarter end balances beginning in the first quarter of 2013 (in thousands):

Total deposits were $780.4 million at December 31, 2015, a decrease of $30.8 million from $811.2 million at 2014 year-end. Core deposit balances were $760.9 million at December 31, 2015 and $773.3 million at December 31, 2014. This decrease was anticipated, as discussed in prior earnings releases. In addition to the decrease in core deposits, we exercised our right to call $20 million of brokered deposits in the second quarter of 2015.

Capital
Banks and bank holding companies operate under separate regulatory capital requirements.
In the first quarter of 2015, regulatory capital requirements for community banks changed to incorporate certain of the capital requirements addressed in the Basel III framework. These standards introduced a new requirement, Common Equity Tier 1 ("CET 1"), and increased certain previously existing capital requirements. At December 31, 2015, our capital ratios exceeded all regulatory capital thresholds.
A summary of our capital ratios at December 31, 2015 and a comparison of new and prior regulatory capital requirements are presented below:

The CET 1 ratio, which is generally a comparison of a bank's core equity capital to its total risk weighted assets, is a measure of the current risk profile of our asset base from a regulatory perspective. The Tier 1 leverage ratio, which is based on average assets, does not consider the mix of risk weighted assets. In recent periods, regulators have required Tier 1 leverage ratios that significantly exceed "Well Capitalized" ratio levels. As a result, management believes the Bank's Tier 1 leverage ratio is our most restrictive capital measurement and we are managing the Tier 1 leverage ratio to levels significantly above the "Well Capitalized" ratio threshold.
In addition to regulatory risk based capital standards, we believe that regulators and investors also monitor the capital ratio of tangible common equity to total period end assets.
Book value per common share of the Company was $20.12 as of December 31, 2015, compared to $18.28 at December 31, 2014. Book value per common share, excluding accumulated other comprehensive income, was $18.93 as of December 31, 2015, compared to $16.72 at December 31, 2014.
Asset Quality
The allowance for credit losses was $8.6 million at December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total loans at December 31, 2015 was 2.00%, compared to 2.11% at December 31, 2014. The allowance as a percentage of loans and leases held for investment at December 31, 2015 was 2.27% and at December 31, 2014 was 2.38%.
Nonperforming assets were $807 thousand at December 31, 2015, up from $317 thousand at December 31, 2014. The ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets was 0.09% at December 31, 2015 and 0.03% at December 31, 2014. Nonperforming loans were $565 thousand at December 31, 2015, up from $61 thousand at December 31, 2014.
At December 31, 2015, BNC had $9.8 million of classified loans, $390 thousand of loans on non-accrual and $242 thousand of other real estate owned. At December 31, 2014, BNC had $9.1 million of classified loans, $56 thousand of loans on non-accrual and $256 thousand of other real estate owned. BNC had $7.9 million of potentially problematic loans, which are risk rated "watch list", at December 31, 2015 compared with $2.1 million as of December 31, 2014.
As evidenced by our nonperforming asset ratios and delinquency rates, as of December 31, 2015, the decrease in oil and agricultural commodity prices have yet to have a significant negative effect on our credit quality. However, prolonged declines in oil prices could have an adverse economic impact on the North Dakota economy and our loan portfolio. Oil prices have a direct impact on the underlying collateral for our oil exploration and production (E&P) loans. E&P loans in North Dakota were $11.7 million, or 3.1% of total loans held for investment at year-end 2015. Advances on E&P lines are generally limited to 50% of the value of proven, developed and producing oil reserves with valuations generally being performed on a semi-annual basis. As of December 31, 2015, no E&P loans were considered classified and $196 thousand were considered watch list loans.
