IRVINE, CA--(Marketwired - Oct 27, 2015) - Plaza Bancorp (
Due to the merger with Manhattan Bancorp and the common ownership of the two institutions, the accounting method used for reporting for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 is the pooling of interest method which combines the results of the two entities. For the first three quarters of 2015, the Company reported net income of $1.3 million, or $0.04 per diluted share. The annualized return on average assets and return on average equity for the Company for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 were 0.16% and 1.52%, respectively. The Company's results for the first nine months of 2015 include $4.9 million in merger related expenses.
Gene Galloway, Plaza Bank's President and Chief Executive Officer, commenting on the third quarter and the effects of the merger with Manhattan Bancorp and Bank of Manhattan, N.A. stated, "Both the balance sheet and income statements are stable three months after the merger. This bodes well for the balance of the year and looking into 2016. Since the merger, total deposits have increased by $10 million and loans have fallen by $18 million, but our loan pipelines are growing and we anticipate strong loan growth during the fourth quarter."
In conclusion, Mr. Galloway said, "September saw the opening of our eighth location in San Diego. As a result, we have a great presence in Southern California. This coupled with our Las Vegas facility gives us a unique footprint in these important economic markets."
Highlights for quarter ended September 30, 2015 included:
- In September, the Bank opened its eighth regional office in San Diego.
- Loan originations for the Bank in the third quarter were $71.3 million.
- For the quarter the Bank recovered $34,000 of prior period charge-offs and had zero loans charge-offs.
- During the quarter, the Bank sold $12.2 million of SBA 7a loans that generated $865,000 in gains.
- For the quarter, the Company's and Bank's net interest margin ("NIM") were 4.45% and 4.66%, respectively. The 21 basis point difference in the NIM between the two entities is due to the $25.0 million in subordinated debentures issued by the Company On June 26, 2015 as part of its acquisition of Manhattan Bancorp.
- The Company's efficiency ratio for the quarter was 69%.
Net interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 totaled $11.0 million. Loan interest income totaled $12.3 million, the average of total outstanding loans for the quarter was $839.0 million and the annualized yield was 5.80%. Interest expense related to deposits was $951,000 for the quarter, or 43 basis points annualized. The interest expense related to the subordinated debentures for the quarter was $445,000, or 7.125% annualized.
The Company recorded a $209,000 provision for loan losses during the third quarter of 2015. This provision was primarily related to $17.1 million in loans where the loan grade classification was downgraded. Non-accrual loans at September 30, 2015 totaled $1.9 million with only two non-accrual loans totaling $676,000 being 30 days or more past due.
Non-interest income for the third quarter of 2015 was $2.4 million. Non-interest income for the third quarter is primarily comprised of net gain from the sale of loans of $865,000, loan servicing income of $344,000, deposit fee income of $302,000, loan referral fee income of $221,000 and other fee income totaling $678,000.
The third quarter of 2015 non-interest expense totaled $9.4 million. Merger related professional expenses in the third quarter totaled $577,000.
For the third quarter of 2015, the Company's effective tax rate was 43.4%, for a total tax expense of $1.6 million for the quarter.
At September 30, 2015, the Company's ratio of tangible common equity to total assets was 8.27%, with a tangible book value of $3.14 per share and a book value per share of $3.47.

These capital ratios exceeded the "well capitalized" standards defined by the federal banking regulators of 5.00% for tier 1 leverage capital, 6.5% for common equity tier 1 risk-based capital, 8.00% for tier 1 risk-based capital and 10.00% for total risk-based capital.
