      ATLANTA, July 21, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Fidelity Southern Corporation ("Fidelity" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: LION), holding company for Fidelity Bank (the "Bank"), today reported net income of $6.6 million and $11.2 million for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. Earnings per diluted share was $0.26 and $0.44 for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively.

      KEY QUARTERLY RESULTS

      • EPS was impacted by $0.21 per share due to the non-cash mortgage servicing rights (MSR) impairment
      • Return on average assets (ROAA) was 0.64%; excluding the impact of the MSR impairment, ROAA was 1.17%
      • Return on average equity (ROAE) was 8.07%; excluding the impact of the MSR impairment, ROAE was 14.84%
      • Total revenue increased by $7.6 million, or 12.8%, to $66.8 million
      • Total assets increased by $180.4 million, or 4.4%, to $4.3 billion
      • Loan portfolio increased by $160.2 million, or 4.6%, to $3.6 billion
      • Loans serviced for others grew by $362.6 million, or 4.3%, to $8.7 billion
      • Total deposits increased by $148.2 million, or 4.3%, to $3.6 billion
      • Net interest margin increased by 6 basis points to 3.31%

      Fidelity's Chairman, Jim Miller, said, "Despite swimming upstream in the interest rate world, earnings reached $6.6 million in the quarter. The impairment to our mortgage servicing rights grew to over $22 million which makes the strong growth of the company all the more impressive. All facets of the company grew including production, deposits, revenue, and loans portfolioed and serviced.

      "The branches and people recently added are already contributing to the bottom line. To keep up with our growth and to serve customers as they wish to be served we have spent heavily on training, software and equipment and will be a much more efficient and user friendly bank soon. Our strategy of branching opportunistically, with our emphasis on continuing to build out Atlanta, Jacksonville, Orlando, and Bradenton-Sarasota, is still in place. Both Macon and Savannah also remain targets.

      "All of this said, we have become more cautious because of interest rate risk and because of the significant valuation distortions caused by government interest rate and fiscal policy. We will stay disciplined to our focus on consumer and business banking and not on real estate."

      BALANCE SHEET

      Total assets grew to $4.3 billion at June 30, 2016, an increase of $180.4 million, or 4.4%, compared to March 31, 2016 and $907.0 million, or 26.9%, compared to June 30, 2015, respectively. The year over year increase was primarily attributable to assets added through acquisition of $641.3 million, as well as organic loan growth.

      On March 1, 2016, the Company acquired American Enterprise Bankshares, Inc. ("AEB"), the holding company for American Enterprise Bank of Florida, a Jacksonville, Florida-based community bank. AEB merged with and into the Company and American Enterprise Bank of Florida merged with and into Fidelity Bank. With this acquisition, the Company added approximately $208.8 million in assets, including $147.4 million in loans, and $181.8 million in deposits and two branches. The Company projects cost savings will be recognized in future periods once the conversion and integration activities related to the acquisition are completed.

      In addition to the AEB acquisition, since June 30. 2015, the Company added $280.8 million in assets, including $144.8 million in loans and $266.4 million in deposits and seven branches in October 2015 from The Bank of Georgia FDIC-assisted acquisition and $151.7 million in assets, including $29.7 million in loans and $151.1 million in deposits, in the acquisition of eight branches from First Bank in September 2015.

      Loans

      Total loans held for investment grew to $3.2 billion at June 30, 2016, an increase of $98.1 million and $779.6 million, or 3.2% and 32.3%, during the quarter and year over year, respectively. The year over year increase is comprised of organic growth of $457.8 million and $321.8 million in loans added through acquisitions, with the majority of the increase in acquired loans coming from the acquisition of $200.6 million in commercial loans. The Bank continues to generate new business and leverage its expansion through acquisitions.

      The majority of the increase in the portfolio during the quarter occurred in the consumer loan portfolio, including indirect automobile and installment loans, which grew by $57.4 million and $265.3 million, or 3.8% and 20.5%, during the quarter and year over year, respectively. Year over year, $257.5 million of the increase was related to organic growth, mainly in the indirect automobile portfolio as a result of strong auto loan production. In addition, $7.8 million in consumer loans were added as the result of acquisitions.

      Construction loans grew by $17.5 million and $70.8 million, or 8.7% and 48.2%, during the quarter and year over year, respectively, as the market for builder loans continues to improve and the customer base has expanded in both Georgia and Florida.  Mortgage loans, including first mortgages and home equity lines of credit, increased by $16.2 million and $174.8 million, or 3.5% and 58.7%, for the quarter and year over year, respectively. Year over year, $75.7 million in mortgage loans were added from acquisitions. The primary driver of organic loan growth in the mortgage portfolio has been the Bank's increased focus on portfolio lending as staff have been added and sales efforts have increased on products to grow the mortgage portfolio.

      Loan Servicing Rights

      Although gross servicing rights have continued to increase with strong residential mortgage, SBA and indirect auto loan sales, net servicing rights decreased during the quarter by $4.1 million, or 4.9%, as MSR impairment charges recorded in the last two quarters have been much larger than usual. The Bank recorded $8.6 million and $13.2 million in MSR impairment during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, an increase of $11.2 million and $13.4 million, as compared to the same periods in 2015. The increase in impairment is primarily related to an increase in estimated future prepayment speeds, and subsequently a decrease in the estimated remaining life of the servicing income, of the underlying loans serviced for others, due to the decrease in market interest rates.

      Deposits

      Total deposits at June 30, 2016, of $3.6 billion increased by $148.2 million and $930.4 million, or 4.3% and 35.3%, during the quarter and year over year, respectively. The year over year increase was primarily the result of $599.3 million in deposits added through acquisitions in addition to organic deposit growth.

      The majority of the increase in deposits occurred in noninterest bearing demand deposits which grew to $995.7 million at June 30, 2016, an increase of $110.4 million and $349.3 million, or 12.5% and 54.0%, during the quarter and year over year, respectively. For the quarter, the majority of the increase occurred due to increased volume in commercial business accounts. Year over year, $200.1 million of the increase was related to organic growth, with $149.2 million added as the result of acquisitions. During 2016, the Bank continued its deposit  marketing program, increasing the number of demand deposit accounts.

      Money market and interest-bearing demand deposits grew by $24.0 million and $303.7 million, or 2.1% and 35.7%, during the quarter and year over year, respectively. Year over year, $100.8 million of the increase was related to organic growth, with $202.9 million added as the result of acquisitions.

      Average core deposits, including noninterest-bearing demand deposits, grew by $220.7 million and $655.6 million, or 10.0% and 37.2%, during the quarter and year over year, respectively, particularly in commercial accounts and through the acquisition of branch deposits, year over year.

      Borrowings

      Short-term borrowings increased by $26.6 million, or 14.0%, during the quarter, and decreased by $87.7 million, or 28.9%, year over year, as a result of fluctuations in short-term liquidity needs which the Bank manages through short-term FHLB advances and Fed funds purchased.

      INCOME STATEMENT

      Interest Income

      Interest income was $36.8 million and $71.1 million for the quarter and the six months ended June 30, 2016, an increase of $9.3 million and $17.1 million, or 33.8% and 31.7%, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2015. Year over year, the increase in average loans for the quarter and six months was $812.8 million and $764.8 million, or 29.3% and 28.1%, respectively, which was the primary reason for the increase in interest income. 

      The yield on loans increased by 13 and 9 basis points for the quarter and six months, respectively. Excluding the accretable discount, the yield on loans was flat for the quarter as higher yields on acquired loans, mainly in the AEB acquisition, offset lower yields on new loans originated over the previous twelve months.  For the six months, the yield on loans excluding the accretable discount decreased by 6 basis points as the higher yields on performing loans added in the AEB acquisition only contributed to four of the six months in 2016 since the AEB acquisition closed on March 1, 2016 and did not fully offset the lower yields on new loans originated.  

      On a linked-quarter basis, interest income increased by $2.5 million, or 3 basis points, primarily due to the increase in average loans during the quarter of $220.3 million, or 6.5%. Excluding the accretable discount, the yield on loans increased by 6 basis points, led by an aggregate $1.5 million higher interest income from commercial and construction loans, mainly due to higher yields on performing loans added from the AEB acquisition.

      Interest Expense

      Interest expense was $5.0 million and $10.0 million for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2016, an increase of $1.5 million and $3.5 million, or 41.7% and 54.5%, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2015, primarily due to the issuance of $75.0 million in subordinated debt in May of 2015. The subordinated debt bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.875%, which resulted in an additional $735,000 and $1.8 million in expense for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, as compared to the same periods in the prior year.  This increase was partially offset by lower funding costs on interest-bearing deposits as maturing time deposits have repriced at lower rates compared to the prior year.

      The majority of the remaining increases in interest expense for the quarter and six months occurred due to the year over year increase of $627.7 million, or 32.3%, in interest-bearing deposits.

      On a linked-quarter basis, interest expense was flat, decreasing by $35,000, or 0.7%.

      Net Interest Margin

      The net interest margin was 3.31% and 3.29% for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to 3.25% and 3.31% for the same periods in 2015, respectively. The increase of 6 basis points for the quarter resulted from an increase of 11 basis points in the yield on earning assets, partially offset by the 7 basis point increase in cost of funds, due to the $75 million subordinated debt issuance in May 2015.

      The net interest margin decreased slightly for the six months ended June 30, 2016 as six months of interest expense was recognized in 2016 from the subordinated debt issuance as compared to one month in the same period in 2015. Excluding accretable discount, the net interest margin for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2016 was 3.16% and 3.11%, a decrease of 5 and 17 basis points compared to the same periods in the prior year as new loans, on average, were originated at lower yields over the previous twelve months.

      For the quarter and six months, net interest income (tax equivalent) rose to $32.0 million and $61.4 million, or an increase of 32.5% and 28.2%, respectively, as compared to $24.1 million and $47.9 million for the same periods in 2015. The increase in net interest income was primarily the result of an increase of 33.7% and 31.3% in interest earning assets for the quarter and six months, compared to the same periods in 2015, due to a combination of organic growth and acquisitions previously described.

      On a linked-quarter basis, the net interest margin increased by 6 basis points, primarily due to higher yields on acquired loans as well as a reduction in rates paid on deposits. Excluding the accretable discount recorded during the quarter, the net interest margin increased by 10 basis points.

      Provision for Loan Losses

      The provision for loan losses was $3.1 million and $3.6 million for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, or increases of $3.3 million and $3.7 million as compared to the same periods in 2015. The loan portfolio held for investment experienced organic growth of $98.1 million during the quarter while the trend in historical net charge-offs has been low. Recoveries in the prior year partially offset the provision for loan losses required as a result of portfolio growth.

      On a linked-quarter basis, the provision for loan losses increased by $2.6 million, mainly as a result of net charge-offs of specific reserves in the commercial portfolio in the second quarter.

      Noninterest Income

      Noninterest income was $30.0 million and $54.9 million for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2016, decreases of $6.7 million and $13.9 million, or 18.3% and 20.2%, as compared to the same periods in 2015, primarily due to a net decrease in mortgage banking activities of $5.3 million and $11.9 million, respectively. Higher than usual non-cash MSR impairment charges were partially offset by increased mortgage production revenue.  The remainder of the decrease in noninterest income is primarily attributable to a $1.6 million and $1.4 million decrease in gains in ORE sales included as part of other income for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, partially offset by an increase in income from SBA lending activities and service charges and fees on loan and deposit accounts as the base of customer accounts has continued to grow organically and through acquisitions.

      Mortgage production income increased by $6.0 million and $1.7 million, or 28.9% and 3.9%, for the quarter and six months, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2015, as all components experienced increases. Mortgage production income consists of marketing gains and origination points and fees.  Total mortgage production for the quarter was $815.1 million, an increase of $26.6 million, or 3.4%, as compared to the prior year while production for the six months was approximately $1.4 billion in both years. Production growth during the quarter is the result of seasonal boosts, as well as an increase in loan volume per loan originator.

      Mortgage servicing revenue increased by $869,000 and $1.7 million, or 23.1% and 23.2%, for the quarter and six months, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2015, as the portfolio of mortgage loans serviced for others increased from $5.9 million to $7.2 million year over year.

      As noted earlier, higher than usual non-cash MSR impairment charges of $8.6 million and $13.3 million were recorded for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, an increase of $4.7 million and $13.4 million, as compared to the same periods in 2015.

      The volume of interest rate lock commitments issued by the Bank in June for retail mortgage lending hit an all-time high, and issued lock commitments in July remain elevated and above recent trends. The pipeline of loans to be sold at June 30, 2016 is up approximately 7.6% from the same period last year.

      On a linked-quarter basis, noninterest income increased by $5.1 million, or 20.4%, primarily due to an increase in income from mortgage banking activities of $4.6 million, which was largely driven by higher  mortgage production income and servicing revenue, partially offset by higher than normal MSR impairment charges recorded during the quarter. The remainder of the increase is due to higher income from indirect and SBA lending activities during the quarter.

      Mortgage production income and servicing revenue was $31.5 million for the quarter, an increase of $8.8 million, or 38.8%, as compared to the prior quarter. The primary driver of this change was an increase in marketing gains of $7.6 million, or 50.0%, while origination points and fees were $1.1 million, or 36.1%, higher for the quarter. The primary cause of the increase in marketing gains was the increase in loan sales for the quarter of $165.1 million, or 30.1%, primarily due to increased seasonal loan production. Total production was $815.1 million for the quarter, an increase of $244.3 million, or 42.8%, from the prior quarter. Retail production grew by $251.0 million, or 47.9%, and comprised 95.1% of total production, while wholesale production for the quarter decreased by $6.7 million. Partially offsetting the increase in mortgage revenues was an increase of $3.9 million in MSR impairment charges for the quarter.

      Noninterest Expense

      Noninterest expense was $48.1 million and $94.7 million for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2016, an increase of $7.0 million and $14.9 million, or 16.9% and 18.7%, as compared to the same periods in 2015. The increase in noninterest expense compared to the prior year is mostly attributable to an increase in expenses associated with organic growth as well as acquisitions.   Noncontinuing acquisition costs of approximately $400,000 and $1.5 million were included in noninterest expenses for the quarter and six months, respectively, with nominal acquisition costs for the same periods in 2015.

      Salaries and benefits increased by $3.6 million and $8.2 million, or 18.1% and 21.2%, for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2016, as compared to the same periods in 2015 as the Bank continued its strategy of increasing its footprint across a larger geographic area, through acquisitions and organic growth. Approximately $2 million of the increase occurred due to an increase in the FTE count and annual cost of living adjustments.  Also included in the increase in salaries and benefits is a $1.4 million and $2.3 million increase in the quarter and year to date, as compared to the same period in the prior year, of employer taxes and employee benefits, the majority of which resulted from an increase in medical premiums, representing an increase in both number of employees and the increased cost of employer-paid benefits.

      Commissions increased by $919,000 and $1.0 million, or 11.8% and 7.1%, for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2016 due to increases in mortgage loan production.

      The increase in occupancy expense of $559,000 and $1.5 million, or 16.2% and 21.1%, for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2015 was a result of increases in depreciation expense, small equipment purchases, property taxes and utilities expenses, primarily due to increased expenses associated with new branches, both through acquisitions and organic growth.

      Other noninterest expense increased by $1.8 million and $4.0 million, or 19.7% and 21.6%, for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to comparable prior year periods, primarily due to increased expenses associated with new branches and acquisitions.  Of this increase, professional fees increased by $784,000 and $2.1 million, primarily due to outside services contracted for maintenance and operations and legal fees for mergers and acquisitions.

      On a linked-quarter basis, noninterest expense increased by $1.6 million, or 3.4%, primarily due to a $2.5 million, or 39.9% increase in commissions as mortgage loan production increased by $244.3 million, or 42.8%. This increase was partially offset by a reduction of approximately $700,000 in acquisition-related expenses, following the completion of The Bank of Georgia system conversion in late March. Noninterest expense for the second quarter includes approximately $400,000 in noncontinuing acquisition costs as the AEB system conversion is scheduled for completion in late July 2016.
