BOSTON--()--Boston Private Financial Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: BPFH) (the “Company” or “BPFH”) today reported first quarter 2017 GAAP Net Income Attributable to the Company of $15.7 million, compared to $17.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2016 and $18.0 million for the first quarter of 2016. First quarter 2017 diluted earnings per share were $0.17, compared to $0.19 in the fourth quarter of 2016, and $0.21 in the first quarter of 2016.

“We are encouraged by the Company's stronger growth to start 2017,” said Clayton G. Deutsch, CEO. “The Private Bank generated strong deposit and loan growth that translated into meaningful Net Interest Income growth and Net Interest Margin expansion, while our market-linked fee businesses all experienced AUM growth. We also front-loaded the year with stepped up business development hiring and technology investment. At the same time, we are focused on taking action to improve long-term earnings performance and increase shareholder value.”

Core Fees and Income/Assets Under Management

Core Fees and Income for the first quarter were $36.3 million, a 6% decrease linked quarter primarily due to Investment Management performance fees received in the fourth quarter. It also represents a 4% decrease year-over-year, primarily reflecting lower Other Banking Fee Income as a result of decreased swap fee income.

AUM was $28.7 billion at the end of the first quarter, an increase of 4% from the previous quarter and 7% year-over-year. The Company experienced net flows of $267 million during the first quarter, compared to negative $176 million and negative $761 million in the fourth quarter of 2016 and first quarter of 2016, respectively. During the first quarter, net flows by segment were $34 million for Wealth Management & Trust, negative $30 million for Investment Management, and $263 million for Wealth Advisory.

Net Interest Income

Net Interest Income for the first quarter was $53.6 million, an increase of 4% from $51.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2016 and an increase of 8% from $49.9 million for the first quarter of 2016. The current quarter includes $0.3 million of interest recovered on previous nonaccrual loans compared to $0.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2016 and $1.1 million for the first quarter of 2016. Excluding interest recovered on previous nonaccrual loans, Net Interest Income on an FTE basis increased 4% linked quarter and 10% year-over-year.

Net Interest Margin was 2.94% for the first quarter of 2017, an increase of 6 basis points from the fourth quarter of 2016 and a decrease of 2 basis points from the first quarter of 2016. Excluding interest recovered on previous nonaccrual loans, Net Interest Margin for the first quarter was 2.92%, an increase of 6 basis points from the fourth quarter of 2016 and an increase of 2 basis points from the first quarter of 2016.

Total Operating Expense

Total Operating Expense for the first quarter of 2017 was $68.8 million, down 4% from $71.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2016, which was elevated primarily due to a goodwill impairment charge. On a year-over-year basis, Total Operating Expense increased 3% from $66.7 million. Increased expenses during the quarter reflect seasonal compensation expense and staff additions, in addition to a vacation policy change intended to reduce future expenses.

Provision and Asset Quality

The Company recorded a provision credit of $0.2 million for the first quarter of 2017, compared to a provision credit of $1.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2016 and $3.1 million for the first quarter of 2016. The provision credit in the first quarter of 2017 was due to net recoveries and declining loss factors, partially offset by an increase in loan volume and an increase in Criticized loans.

Criticized Loans increased 14% linked quarter but declined 19% year-over-year to $135 million. Nonaccrual Loans (“Nonaccruals”) increased 21% to $20.9 million on a linked quarter basis. On a year-over-year basis, Nonaccruals decreased 14% from $24.4 million. As a percentage of Total Loans, Nonaccruals were 34 basis points at March 31, 2017, up 6 basis points compared to December 31, 2016, and down 9 basis points from March 31, 2016.

FOOTNOTES:

(1)

Net income from discontinued operations consists of contingent payments or expenses related to our divested affiliates, including Westfield Capital Management Company, LLC.

 

(2)

Adjustments to net income attributable to the Company to arrive at net income attributable to the common shareholders, as presented in these tables, include decrease/ (increase) in noncontrolling interests redemption value and dividends paid on preferred stock.

 

(3)

When the Company has positive net income from continuing operations attributable to the common shareholders, the Company adds additional shares to basic weighted average shares outstanding to arrive at diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the diluted earnings per share calculation. These additional shares reflect the assumed exercise, conversion, or contingent issuance of dilutive securities. If the additional shares would result in anti-dilution they would be excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation. The potential dilutive shares relate to: unexercised stock options, unvested restricted stock, and unexercised stock warrants. See Part II. Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Note 16: Earnings Per Share” in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 for additional information.

 

(4)

The Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as: Tangible Book Value Per Share and the Tangible Common Equity (“TCE”) to Tangible Assets (“TA”) ratio to provide information for investors to effectively analyze financial trends of ongoing business activities, and to enhance comparability with peers across the financial sector.

 

Reconciliations from the Company's GAAP Total Equity to Total Assets ratio to the Non-GAAP TCE to TA ratio, and from GAAP Book Value to Non-GAAP Tangible Book Value are presented below:

 

The Company calculates Tangible Assets by adjusting Total Assets to exclude Goodwill and Intangible Assets.

 

The Company calculates Tangible Common Equity by adjusting Total Equity to exclude non-convertible Series D Preferred stock and exclude Goodwill and Intangible Assets, net.
