Business First Bancshares, Inc., Announces Financial Results For Q2 2018
BATON ROUGE, La., July 24, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Business First Bancshares, Inc. (NASDAQ: BFST) (Business First), parent company of Business First Bank, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, today announced its unaudited results for the quarter ended June 30, 2018, including record quarterly net income of $3.6 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, which reflected increases of $1.5 million and $0.05, respectively, from the quarter ended June 30, 2017. Core net income, which excludes noncore income and expenses, was $4.1 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, which reflected increases of $2.9 million and $0.20, respectively, from the quarter ended June 30, 2017.
"Our second quarter performance continues to exemplify and enhance the value of the franchise for our shareholders and clients," said Jude Melville, President and CEO. "The significant momentum generated during the first quarter was sustained as the synergies from the Minden Bancorp acquisition continued to materialize and translate into overall shareholder value through improved returns, earnings accretion, and net interest income growth. The combination of our dedicated team and healthy loan pipelines, along with recent loan growth, should be catalysts for continued solid financial performance throughout the second half of 2018."
"In addition to our record quarterly results and prospective organic growth for the remainder of 2018, we continue to be excited about the opportunities our planned merger with Richland State Bancorp will provide our current and future clients, employees, and shareholders. Commensurate with helping Business First become the region's most influential business-focused community bank, the partnership will increase our presence along the I-20 corridor and assist in the acceleration of our strategic objectives."
On July 19, 2018, Business First's Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend based upon financial performance for the quarter in the amount of $0.08 per share to the common shareholders of record as of August 15, 2018, consistent with the prior quarter. The dividend will be paid on August 31, 2018, or as soon thereafter as practicable.

Financial Condition
As of June 30, 2018, Business First had total assets of $1.6 billion, total loans of $1.2 billion, total deposits of $1.3 billion, and total shareholders' equity of $210.6 million, compared to $1.3 billion, $975.3 million, $1.1 billion, and $180.0 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2017.
Nonperforming loans as a percent of total loans held for investment decreased from 1.30% as of December 31, 2017, to 1.14% as of June 30, 2018. Nonperforming assets as a percent of total assets decreased from 0.98% as of December 31, 2017, to 0.93% as of June 30, 2018. The decreases were attributed to an increase in total loans/assets and improved credit quality.
Book value per common share was $18.26 at June 30, 2018, compared to $17.58 at December 31, 2017. Tangible book value per common share was $15.07 at June 30, 2018, compared to $16.72 at December 31, 2017. The decrease in tangible book value per common share during 2018 is primarily attributable to the completion of the acquisition of Minden Bancorp, Inc. ("MBI"), on January 1, 2018, which added $28.1 million in intangible assets, or $2.44 per common share.
Results of Operations
For the quarter ended June 30, 2018, net income was $3.6 million, or $0.34 per basic share and $0.33 per diluted share, compared to net income of $2.1 million, or $0.30 per basic share and $0.28 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2017. Both GAAP and Core EPS for the quarter ended June 30, 2018, were impacted ($0.01) by an atypical franchise tax charge. Return on average assets, on an annualized basis, increased to 0.90% for the quarter ended June 30, 2018, from 0.70% for the quarter ended June 30, 2017. Return on average equity, on an annualized basis, increased to 7.75% for the quarter ended June 30, 2018, as compared to 6.96% for the quarter ended June 30, 2017. The increase in net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2018, compared to the same period in 2017, can primarily be attributed to the acquisition of MBI, growth of the loan portfolio, and the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act which lowered the effective corporate tax rate.
Notable noncore events impacting earnings include the sale of a participation interest in an impaired credit acquired from American Gateway in 2015, which resulted in a $1.3 million increase in interest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, and the incurrence of $415,000 in noninterest expenses related to the acquisition of MBI and $118,000 associated with share awards granted to all nonexecutives for Business First Bancshares, Inc.'s NASDAQ commencement on April 9, 2018, for the quarter ended June 30, 2018. Core net income, which excludes noncore income and expenses, for the quarter ended June 30, 2018, was $4.1 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, compared to core net income of $1.2 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, in the quarter ended June 30, 2017. As adjusted, core return on average assets and core return on average equity, in each case on an annualized basis, were 1.00% and 8.69%, respectively, for the quarter ended June 30, 2018, compared to 0.88% and 7.96% for the quarter ended March 30, 2018, and 0.41% and 4.08%, respectively, for the quarter ended June 30, 2017.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2018, net interest income totaled $15.0 million, and net interest margin and net interest spread were 3.98% and 3.70%, respectively, compared to $11.6 million, 3.87%, and 3.57% for the quarter ended December 31, 2017, and $11.7 million, 4.34%, and 4.11%, respectively, for the quarter ended June 30, 2017. The average yield on the loan portfolio was 5.46%, compared to 5.22% for the quarter ended December 31, 2017, and 5.72% for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, and the average yield on total interest-earning assets was 4.81%, compared to 4.57% for the quarter ended December 31, 2017, and 4.97% for the quarter ended June 30, 2017. These metrics were impacted during the quarter ended June 30, 2017, by the sale of a participation interest in an impaired credit acquired from American Gateway in 2015. Excluding the effect of this transaction, for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, net interest income was $10.4 million, net interest margin and net interest spread were 3.86% and 3.64%, respectively, and average yield on the loan portfolio and on total interest-earning assets were 5.12% and 4.50%, respectively. For the quarter ended June 30, 2018, overall cost of funds increased by 11 basis points compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2017, and increased 25 basis points compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2017. Due to the continued impact of new loan growth, runoff of higher yielding loan balances, and competitive deposit pricing, management anticipates continued pressure on net interest margin and net interest spread.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2018, Business First recorded a provision for loan losses of $474,000, compared to $1.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2017. The lower provision for the quarter ended June 30, 2018, compared to the same period in 2017 was due to increasing our general reserves to our exposure in the commercial and energy sectors in 2017.
