AMERIS BANCORP REPORTS OPERATING NET
INCOME OF $9.8 MILLION, OR $0.32 PER DILUTED SHARE, FOR FIRST QUARTER 2015
April 23, 2015
AMERIS BANCORP (NASDAQ-GS: ABCB), Moultrie,
Georgia, today reported operating net income of $9.8 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2015,
compared to $8.1 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2014. Commenting on the Company’s quarterly
results, Edwin W. Hortman, Jr., the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “In the first quarter of
2015, we announced two highly accretive acquisitions and a supporting capital raise. We had our strongest quarter in new loan originations
with better than expected yields. Our mortgage group had its strongest quarter of profitability and finished the quarter with very
robust pipelines. As we move into the second quarter and the last half of 2015, our challenge is to continue developing the pipelines
and investment opportunities for the liquidity in our two pending acquisitions while limiting the impact on operating expenses.”
Highlights of the Company’s performance
and results for the first quarter of 2015 include the following:
| · | Net income available to common shareholders
increased 21.1% compared to the first quarter of 2014 |
| · | The Company completed a private placement
of 5,320,000 shares of common stock during the quarter |
| · | The Company announced agreements to acquire
Merchants & Southern Banks of Florida, Inc. and 18 additional branches located in North Florida and South Georgia |
| · | Loans, excluding purchased non-covered
and covered loans, increased by $109.5 million during the quarter, reflecting an annualized growth rate of 23.5% |
| · | Return on assets and return on average
tangible equity were 0.97% and 8.76%, respectively |
| · | Total revenue increased to $59.9 million
in the first quarter of 2015, compared to $50.6 million in the first quarter of 2014 |
| · | The Company’s net interest margin
remained strong at 4.39% |
| · | Noninterest income increased 37.8% in
the first quarter of 2015 to $17.6 million, compared to $12.8 million in the first quarter of 2014 |
| · | Tangible common equity to tangible assets
increased to 10.26%, a 38.3% increase compared to December 31, 2014 |
| · | Tangible book value per share increased
to $13.01, compared to $10.99 at December 31, 2014 |
Pending Acquisitions
During the first quarter of 2015, the Company
announced its intent to acquire Merchants & Southern Banks of Florida, Inc., the largest non-regional bank operating in Gainesville,
Florida. The Company has received regulatory approval and anticipates an estimated closing date of May 22, 2015.
Additionally, the Company announced its
intention to acquire 18 branches in its existing footprint from Bank of America. The branches, located in South Georgia and North
Florida, include approximately $864 million of total deposits and a small amount of performing loans. The Company anticipates that
the closing of this acquisition will occur during the second quarter of 2015.
The acquisitions, combined with the supporting
capital raise, are expected to be over 15% accretive to 2016 earnings per share and 4.50% accretive to tangible book value reported
at December 31, 2014.
Operating Results
Net income available to common shareholders
in the first quarter of 2015 totaled $9.8 million, an increase of 21.1% compared to the same quarter in 2014. Revenue during the
first quarter totaled $59.9 million, an increase of 18.4% compared to the first quarter of 2014. Increases in revenue resulted
from the addition of The Coastal Bank, as well as strong organic growth in loans, excluding purchased non-covered and covered loans.
Returns on average assets and average tangible common equity were 0.97% and 8.76%, respectively, in the first quarter of 2015 compared
to 0.96% and 11.66%, respectively, in the same quarter of 2014. The capital raise was completed in the first quarter of 2015, but
the Company does not expect to have the capital fully deployed until the second half of 2015, at which time management believes
return on average tangible common equity will approach historical levels.
Net Interest Income and Net Interest
Margin
Net interest income for the first quarter
of 2015 totaled $38.8 million, an increase of $4.3 million, or 12.6%, compared to the $34.5 million reported for the first quarter
of 2014. The Company’s net interest margin decreased during the quarter to 4.39%, compared to 4.57% during the first quarter
of 2014. Excluding accretion on purchased assets, the Company’s net interest margin was 4.05% in the first quarter of 2015,
compared to 4.17%% in the fourth quarter of 2014 and 4.21% in the first quarter of 2014. The Company’s net interest margin
was negatively impacted by 10bps due to the higher level of short-term assets as a percentage of earning assets. The Company intends
to be fully invested in either investment securities or loans by the end of the year and to maintain minimal levels of short-term
assets as it has in the past.
Yields on earning assets in the first quarter
of 2015 were 4.79%, compared to 5.01% in the first quarter of 2014. Yields on total loans outstanding, excluding accretion, in
the first quarter were 5.01%, compared to 5.05% in the fourth quarter of 2014. New loan production in the first quarter totaled
$254.0 million, with weighted average yields of 4.55%, compared to $228.6 million and 4.65% in the fourth quarter of 2014.
Total interest expense for the first quarter
of 2015 was $3.5 million, compared to $3.4 million in the same quarter of 2014. Increases in total interest expense were driven
primarily by increases in total deposits and other borrowings resulting from both acquisition activity and organic growth. Deposit
costs were lower during the first quarter of 2015 at 0.27%, compared to 0.30% during the first quarter of 2014. Yields on each
deposit class were essentially unchanged from the prior year. Management does not expect deposit costs or overall funding costs
to decrease materially in the coming quarters given tightening liquidity and increasingly stronger forecasts for asset growth.
Non-interest Income
Non-interest income in the first quarter
of 2015 was $17.6 million, an increase of $4.8 million, or 37.8%, compared to the same quarter in 2014. The Company’s mortgage
operations continued to make improvements in revenues and net income, reporting its best quarter ever for the Company. Total revenue
in the mortgage group grew to $10.3 million, an improvement of 64% compared to the same quarter in 2014. Net income improved at
a faster pace to $2.5 million, compared to $947,000 in the first quarter of 2014. Total production in the first quarter of 2015
amounted to $188.3 million (83% retail and 17% wholesale), compared to $130.8 million in the same quarter of 2014 (80% retail and
20% wholesale). Relationships with larger builders and real estate firms continue to drive the Company’s production from
this division. Open pipelines finished the first quarter of 2015 at $110.9 million, compared to $57.0 million at the beginning
of the first quarter of 2015 and $75.2 million at the end of the first quarter of 2014.
Service charges in the first quarter of
2015 were $6.4 million, an increase of $843,000, or 15.1%, compared to the same quarter in 2014. Stronger growth in commercial
and treasury management accounts contributed to the growth in income, as did strong growth in balances that resulted from the Company’s
acquisition of The Coastal Bank in June 2014.
During the quarter, the Company recorded
approximately $1.5 million of revenue from its SBA division, compared to $685,000 in the same quarter in 2014. Expenses related
to SBA lending also increased, from $400,000 in the first quarter of 2014 to $705,000 in the first quarter of 2015. The pipeline
of opportunities and closed loans going into the second quarter indicate a much stronger second quarter in revenue than what the
Company experienced in the first quarter.
Non-interest Expense
During the first quarter of 2015, operating
expenses decreased approximately $906,000 to $40.8 million from $41.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2014. Excluding merger and
credit related costs, the Company’s total operating expenses increased approximately $0.7 million during the current quarter
of 2015 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2014. These increases related to the Company’s aggressive investment in the
scale of its operations, particularly in information technology and customer care centers. Additional costs are anticipated in
the coming quarters as the Company approaches the closing of the acquisitions announced early in the first quarter of 2015.
Salaries and benefits increased to $20.6
million in the current quarter of 2015, compared to $17.4 million in the same quarter in 2014. Increases in compensation costs
relate to staffing additions from the acquisition of The Coastal Bank in June 2014, as well as increases associated with higher
mortgage revenue and originations in the current quarter compared to the same quarter in 2014.
Non-provision credit resolution-related
costs increased from $2.2 million in the first quarter of 2014 to $3.2 million in the first quarter of 2015. During the quarter,
the Company brought several larger non-performing assets closer to resolution and incurred higher than normal expenses associated
with these efforts. Legal fees associated with OREO and non-accrual loans totaled $754,000 in the first quarter of 2015 compared
to $403,000 in the first quarter of 2014.
Occupancy and equipment costs increased
from $4.1 million in the first quarter of 2014 to $4.6 million in the first quarter of 2015, due to the increased number of branches
operated by the Company since its acquisition of The Coastal Bank. Data processing and telecommunications expenses increased from
$3.5 million in the first quarter of 2014 to $4.3 million in the first quarter of 2015. During the quarter, the Company renegotiated
a series of contracts with its core service provider that should provide some savings in the coming quarters on a relative basis
with the anticipated acquisitions.
Balance Sheet Trends
Total assets at March 31, 2015 were $4.15
billion, compared to $4.04 billion at December 31, 2014. Loans, including loans held for sale, totaled $2.96 billion at March 31,
2015, compared to $2.93 billion at December 31, 2014. During the first quarter, growth in legacy loans (loans excluding purchased
non-covered and covered loans) amounted to $109.5 million, or 23.5% on an annualized basis. Growth during the first quarter of
2015 was spread evenly across most loan types, including agriculture, municipal, commercial real estate and mortgage.
Funding sources continued to improve over
year end levels. At March 31, 2015, total deposits amounted to $3.48 billion, or 95.5% of total funding, compared to $3.43 billion
and 94.0%, respectively, at December 31, 2014. Non-interest bearing deposits reflected the largest growth, ending the current
quarter at $967.0 million, or 27.8% of total deposits, compared to $839.4 million, or 24.5%, at December 31, 2014. Aggressive
sales efforts on both commercial and consumer balances, as well as the Coastal Bank acquisition, were the reason for the 38.4%
growth in noninterest bearing deposits from March 31, 2014 to March 31, 2015.
Stockholders’ equity at March 31,
2015 totaled $489.8 million, compared to $366.0 million reported at December 31, 2014. The increase in stockholders’ equity
was the result of the issuance of $114.9 million of common shares in the first quarter of 2015, together with earnings of $9.8
million during the quarter.
Tangible common equity as a percentage
of tangible assets increased to 10.26% at the end of the first quarter of 2015, compared to 7.42% at the end of 2014. The additional
common equity associated with the private placement completed during the quarter, together with net income for the quarter, account
for the majority of the increase in the Company’s capital ratios. Tangible book value increased to $13.01 per share at March
31, 2015, compared to $10.99 per share at December 31, 2014. On a pro forma basis, assuming the impacts of the pending mergers,
the Company’s tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio would be 7.04% and tangible book value would be $11.74 per
share.

(1) Asset quality information is presented net of covered assets where the Company's risk exposure is limited substantially by loss-sharing agreements with the FDIC.
(2) During 2014 and 2015, the Company
recorded provision for loan loss expense to account for losses where the initial estimate of cash flows was found to be excessive
on loans acquired in FDIC-assisted acquisitions. These amounts are excluded from the calculation above but reflected
in the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations.
