Earnings for the fourth quarter of 2015 were impacted by a provision for loan losses totaling $11.2 million, a $3.7 million increase from the third quarter of 2015 and an $8.6 million increase from the fourth quarter of 2014.  The increased provision for loan losses directly resulted from the Company's effort to enhance its allowance for loan losses on energy loans due to a sustained increase in economic and regulatory uncertainty.  The increased provision for loan losses was partially offset by higher net interest income, which was up $2.6 million from the third quarter of 2015 and up $27.9 million from the fourth quarter of 2014.

Core (non-GAAP) net income (which is net income adjusted for the impact of merger and acquisition costs and certain other items) totaled $16.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2015, down $1.5 million from the third quarter of 2015 and up $5.1 million from the fourth quarter of 2014.  Basic earnings per share for the quarter ended December 31, 2015 was $0.36, a decrease of $0.03 from the third quarter of 2015 and an increase of $0.22 from the fourth quarter of 2014.  Core earnings per share for the fourth quarter of 2015 was $0.35, down $0.04 from the third quarter of 2015 and up $0.06 from the fourth quarter of 2014. 

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2015 was $70.9 million, up $39.6 million from the year ended December 31, 2014, which reflects the impact of the merger with LegacyTexas Group, Inc. on January 1, 2015.  Core (non-GAAP) net income totaled $71.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, up $33.0 million from the year ended December 31, 2014.  Basic earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2015 was $1.54, an increase of $0.72 from the year ended December 31, 2014.  Core earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2015 was $1.57, up $0.54 from the year ended December 31, 2014.  The reconciliation of non-GAAP measures, which the Company believes facilitates the assessment of its banking operations and peer comparability, is included in tabular form at the end of this release.

Net interest income for the quarter ended December 31, 2015 was $63.7 million, a $2.6 million increase from the third quarter of 2015 and a $27.9 million increase from the fourth quarter of 2014.  The $2.6 million increase from the linked quarter was primarily due to an increase in interest income on loans, which was driven by increased volume in all loan categories with the exception of Warehouse Purchase Program and other consumer loans.  The average balance of commercial and industrial loans increased by $162.7 million to $1.50 billion from the third quarter of 2015, resulting in a $1.9 million increase in interest income.   The average balance of commercial real estate loans increased by $133.7 million to $2.10 billion from the third quarter of 2015, which was partially offset by an 18 basis point linked-quarter decrease in the average yield earned on this portfolio, resulting in an $833,000 increase in interest income.  The average balance of construction and land loans and consumer real estate loans increased by $38.0 million and $40.3 million, respectively, compared to the third quarter of 2015, leading to increases in interest income of $511,000 and $476,000, respectively.  The increased interest income related to commercial, construction and consumer real estate loan volume was partially offset by a $67.9 million linked-quarter decline in the average balance of Warehouse Purchase Program balances, which reduced interest income by $600,000.

Interest income on loans for the fourth quarter of 2015 included $1.4 million in accretion of purchase accounting fair value adjustments on loans acquired through the merger with LegacyTexas Group, Inc., a decrease of $633,000 from the $2.0 million in accretion income recorded on these loans for the third quarter of 2015. The $1.4 million includes $550,000 in accretion income recorded on acquired commercial real estate loans, $229,000 in accretion income recorded on acquired commercial and industrial loans, $78,000 in accretion income recorded on acquired construction and land loans and $520,000 recorded on acquired consumer loans.  Accretion of purchase accounting fair value adjustments related to the LegacyTexas Group, Inc. acquisition, as well as a smaller amount related to the Highlands Bank acquisition in 2012, contributed 13 basis points, six basis points and 22 basis points to the average yields on commercial real estate, commercial and industrial and consumer real estate loans, respectively, for the fourth quarter of 2015, compared to 18 basis points, 12 basis points and 22 basis points, respectively, for the third quarter of 2015. 

The $27.9 million increase in net interest income, compared to the fourth quarter of 2014, was primarily due to a $28.9 million increase in interest income on loans, which was driven by increased volume in all loan categories resulting from the merger with LegacyTexas Group, Inc. on January 1, 2015, as well as organic growth during the year.  The average balance of commercial real estate loans increased by $886.4 million from the fourth quarter of 2014, resulting in a $10.5 million increase in interest income.  The $886.4 million in growth includes $551.0 million in commercial real estate loans acquired through the merger with LegacyTexas Group, Inc.  Excluding these loans, the average balance of commercial real estate loans increased by $335.4 million from the fourth quarter of 2014.  The average balance of commercial and industrial loans increased by $772.2 million from the fourth quarter of 2014, resulting in an $8.9 million increase in interest income.  The $772.2 million in growth includes $337.1 million in commercial and industrial loans acquired through the merger with LegacyTexas Group, Inc. Excluding these loans, the average balance of commercial and industrial loans increased by $435.1 million from the fourth quarter of 2014.  The average balance of consumer real estate loans increased by $376.9 million from the fourth quarter of 2014, resulting in a $4.5 million increase in interest income.  The $376.9 million in growth includes $264.0 million in consumer real estate loans acquired through the merger with LegacyTexas Group, Inc.  Excluding these loans, the average balance of consumer real estate loans increased by $112.9 million from the fourth quarter of 2014.  The average balance of Warehouse Purchase Program loans increased by $158.2 million to $777.9 million from the fourth quarter of 2014, which resulted in a $1.0 million increase in interest income.

Interest expense for the quarter ended December 31, 2015 increased by $503,000 compared to the linked quarter, which was primarily due to $462,000 in interest expense resulting from the $75.0 million of fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes issued by the Company in the fourth quarter of 2015.  Compared to the fourth quarter of 2014, interest expense for the quarter ended December 31, 2015 increased by $1.7 million, primarily due to the additional interest expense associated with the subordinated notes and an increase in interest expense on deposits, which was driven by increased volume in all deposit categories resulting from the merger with LegacyTexas Group, Inc. on January 1, 2015, as well as organic growth since December 31, 2014.  An $859.1 million increase in the average balance of savings and money market deposits to $2.03 billion from the fourth quarter of 2014 was partially offset by a 13 basis point reduction in the average rate paid on such deposits, resulting in a $32,000 increase in interest expense.  The $859.1 million in growth includes $534.6 million in savings and money market deposits acquired through the merger with LegacyTexas Group, Inc.  Excluding these deposits, the average balance of savings and money market deposits increased by $324.5 million from the fourth quarter of 2014. The average balance of time deposits increased by $451.3 million to $965.1 million from the fourth quarter of 2014, resulting in an $890,000 increase in interest expense.  The $451.3 million in growth includes $336.8 million in time deposits acquired through the merger with LegacyTexas Group, Inc.  Excluding these deposits, the average balance of time deposits increased by $114.5 million from the fourth quarter of 2014.  The average balance of interest-bearing demand deposits increased by $293.0 million to $748.2 million from the fourth quarter of 2014, resulting in a $482,000 increase in interest expense.  The $293.0 million in growth includes $258.7 million in interest-bearing demand deposits acquired through the merger with LegacyTexas Group, Inc.  Excluding these deposits, the average balance of interest-bearing demand deposits increased by $34.3 million from the fourth quarter of 2014.

The net interest margin for the fourth quarter of 2015 was 3.94%, a six basis point decrease from the third quarter of 2015 and a ten basis point increase from the fourth quarter of 2014.  Accretion of interest resulting from the merger with LegacyTexas Group, Inc. on January 1, 2015, as well as the 2012 Highlands acquisition, contributed ten basis points to the net interest margin and average yield on earning assets for the quarter ended December 31, 2015, compared to 12 basis points for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 and three basis points for the quarter ended December 31, 2014.  The average yield on earning assets for the fourth quarter of 2015 was 4.30%, a five basis point decline from the third quarter of 2015 and a two basis point increase from the fourth quarter of 2014.  The cost of deposits for the fourth quarter of 2015 was 0.29%, unchanged from the third quarter of 2015 and down four basis points from the fourth quarter of 2014.

Non-interest Income

Non-interest income for the fourth quarter of 2015 was $11.6 million, a $258,000 decrease from the third quarter of 2015 and a $6.3 million increase from the fourth quarter of 2014.  Core non-interest income for the fourth quarter of 2015, which excludes one-time gains and losses on assets and security sales, was $11.4 million, down $305,000 from the third quarter of 2015 and up $6.1 million from the fourth quarter of 2014.  Service charges and other fees decreased by $154,000 from the third quarter of 2015, which includes a $520,000 decrease in commercial loan fee income from fees collected in the third quarter of 2015 that were not duplicated in the fourth quarter, as well as a $92,000 linked-quarter decline in Warehouse Purchase Program fee income.  These declines in commercial loan and Warehouse Purchase Program fee income were partially offset by a linked-quarter $394,000 increase in debit card and ATM fee income.

The $6.3 million increase in non-interest income from the fourth quarter of 2014 was primarily due to a $3.1 million increase in service charges and other fees, which was driven by the addition of $1.3 million of title income, as well as increased debit card income and service charges related to accounts acquired through the merger with LegacyTexas Group, Inc.  Additionally, the Company recognized $1.9 million in net gains on the sale of mortgage loans during the fourth quarter of 2015, which includes the gain recognized on $47.8 million of one-to four-family mortgage loans that were sold or committed for sale during the fourth quarter of 2015, fair value changes on mortgage derivatives and mortgage fees collected.  Prior to the January 1, 2015 merger with LegacyTexas Group, Inc., the Company did not originate or sell mortgage loans to outside investors; therefore, a comparable gain was not recorded in the fourth quarter of 2014.  Other non-interest income increased by $883,000 from the fourth quarter of 2014, primarily due to $799,000 of insurance income added through the acquisition of LegacyTexas Group, Inc.

Non-interest Expenses

Non-interest expense for the quarter ended December 31, 2015 was $39.0 million, a $1.2 million increase from the third quarter of 2015 and a $9.2 million increase from the fourth quarter of 2014.  Salaries and employee benefits expense decreased by $259,000 from the third quarter of 2015, primarily due to lower health care claims compared to the third quarter of 2015, as well as a reduction in share-based compensation expense due to a decline in the Company's stock price.  Advertising expense increased by $495,000 from the third quarter of 2015, primarily due to increased donations to support community outreach, while other non-interest expense increased by $410,000 compared to the linked quarter, primarily due to increased debit card fraud losses incurred during the fourth quarter of 2015.

The $9.2 million increase in non-interest expense from the fourth quarter of 2014 includes an $8.3 million decrease in merger and acquisition costs related to the merger with LegacyTexas Group, Inc.  Excluding the impact of these merger costs, core non-interest expense increased by $17.5 million, which was driven by a $10.2 million increase in salaries and employee benefits expense, primarily due to the addition of employees and grants of share-based compensation related to the merger with LegacyTexas Group, Inc. The merger with LegacyTexas Group, Inc. also resulted in a $1.7 million increase in occupancy and equipment expense, a $1.2 million increase in office operations expense and a $1.4 million increase in data processing expense for the quarter ended December 31, 2015, compared to the same period in 2014. 

Financial Condition - Loans

Gross loans held for investment at December 31, 2015, excluding Warehouse Purchase Program loans, grew $377.7 million from September 30, 2015, which included growth in all loan categories with the exception of other consumer loans, which declined by $5.2 million.  Commercial and industrial and commercial real estate loans at December 31, 2015 increased by $175.4 million and $141.9 million, respectively, from September 30, 2015, while consumer real estate and construction and land loans increased by $56.2 million and $9.3 million, respectively, for the same period.  Warehouse Purchase Program loans at December 31, 2015 increased by $83.3 million from September 30, 2015, and by $257.3 million compared to December 31, 2014.

Compared to December 31, 2014, gross loans held for investment, excluding Warehouse Purchase Program loans, grew $2.43 billion, which includes $1.40 billion in loans acquired from LegacyTexas Group, Inc. on January 1, 2015.  On a year over year basis, commercial real estate and commercial and industrial loans increased by $911.7 million and $830.8 million, respectively, while consumer real estate and construction and land loans increased by $412.6 million and $248.4 million, respectively, for the same period.

Energy loans, which are reported as commercial and industrial loans, totaled $459.8 million at December 31, 2015, up $28.4 million from $431.4 million at September 30, 2015 and up $100.2 million from December 31, 2014. In May 2013, the Company formed its Energy Finance group, which is comprised of a group of seasoned lenders, executives and credit risk professionals with more than 100 years of combined Texas energy experience, to focus on providing loans to private and public oil and gas companies throughout the United States. The group also offers the Bank's full array of commercial services, including Treasury Management and letters of credit, to its customers.  Substantially all of the loans in the Energy portfolio are reserve based loans, secured by deeds of trust on properties containing proven oil and natural gas reserves.  In addition to the reserve based energy loans, the Company has loans categorized as "Midstream and Other," which are typically related to the transmission of oil and natural gas and would only be indirectly impacted from declining commodity prices.  At December 31, 2015, "Midstream and Other" loans had a total outstanding balance of $64.6 million.

Financial Condition - Deposits

Total deposits at December 31, 2015 increased by $456.7 million from September 30, 2015, with all deposit categories growing on a linked-quarter basis, including a $227.0 million increase in savings and money market deposits and a $126.9 million increase in time deposits.  Interest-bearing and non-interest-bearing demand deposits increased by $68.8 million and $34.0 million, respectively, compared to September 30, 2015. 

Compared to December 31, 2014, total deposits increased by $2.57 billion, which includes $1.63 billion of deposits acquired from LegacyTexas Group, Inc. on January 1, 2015.  On a year over year basis, savings and money market and time deposits increased by $1.03 billion and $513.4 million, respectively, while non-interest-bearing demand and interest-bearing demand deposits increased by $675.9 million and $346.6 million, respectively, for the same period.  At December 31, 2015, non-interest-bearing demand deposits comprised 22.4% of total deposits, compared to 18.6% of total deposits at December 31, 2014.

Excludes loans acquired in the Highlands and LegacyTexas transactions, which were initially recorded at fair value.

The Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $11.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2015, an increase of $3.7 million from the quarter ended September 30, 2015 and an increase of $8.6 million from the quarter ended December 31, 2014.  The increase in the provision for loan losses on a linked-quarter basis, as well as compared to the fourth quarter of 2014, was primarily related to increased qualitative reserve factors applied to the energy portfolio.  The Company increased these qualitative factors in the fourth quarter of 2015 due to the impact of continued pressure on the price of oil, which has led to a sustained increase in economic and regulatory uncertainty surrounding energy loans.  Also, over the past year, risk rating downgrades on energy loans have increased, primarily in the special mention category, which consists entirely of performing loans.  The below table shows criticized energy loans at December 31, 2015, September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

The $24.1 million decrease in substandard non-performing energy loans from September 30, 2015 was primarily due to the sale of a $24.3 million non-performing energy relationship to an unrelated third party during the fourth quarter of 2015.  The sale generated a $923,000 interest recovery and resulted in no recorded loss. The loan purchase was financed by the Company to a new, unrelated borrower the Company believes offers sufficient collateral, guarantor support and experience to ensure the successful resolution of the former criticized energy relationship.  The resulting new loan, which is performing, was graded as substandard at December 31, 2015 and included in the $38.7 million reported above.

The increase in special mention and substandard performing energy loans on a linked-quarter and year-over-year basis resulted from collateral value deterioration due to commodity price declines.  At December 31, 2015, the Company did not have any specific loss reserves set aside for these loans.  The Company continues to take action to improve the risk profile of the criticized energy loans by instituting monthly commitment reductions, obtaining additional collateral, obtaining additional guarantor support and/or requiring additional equity injections or asset sales.

Due to the increase in qualitative reserve factors discussed above, the allowance for loan losses allocated to energy loans at December 31, 2015 totaled $12.0 million, up $7.1 million from $4.9 million at September 30, 2015 and up $8.6 million from $3.4 million at December 31, 2014.  These reserve amounts result entirely from the increase in qualitative factors and the increase in the energy portfolio, as the Company has not experienced a loss on energy loans to date, which we believe is a reflection of prudent risk mitigation techniques.  These techniques include sound underwriting (reasonable advance rates based on number and diversification of wells), sound policy (requiring hedges on production sales) and conservative collateral valuations (frequent borrowing base determinations at prices below NYMEX posted rates).  All borrowing base valuations are performed by experienced and nationally recognized third party firms intimately familiar with the properties and their production history.  The Company believes that the current level of loan loss reserve for energy loans is sufficient to cover credit losses in the portfolio based on currently available information; however, future sustained declines in oil pricing could lead to further risk rating downgrades, additional loan loss reserves, or losses.

In addition to the changes in qualitative factors related to energy lending, the increase in loan loss reserves and provision expense was caused by increased organic loan production, as well as loans acquired through the merger with LegacyTexas Group, Inc. that were re-underwritten following completion of the merger.  During the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company added $499.3 million in net loan production that required additional allowance for loan losses, which includes loans acquired through the merger with LegacyTexas Group, Inc. that were re-underwritten pursuant to this process.

Net charge-offs for the fourth quarter of 2015 totaled $489,000, a decrease of $1.5 million from the third quarter of 2015 and an increase of $816,000 from the fourth quarter of 2014.   The $24.7 million decrease in non-performing commercial and industrial loans from the third quarter of 2015 was primarily due to the $24.3 million energy relationship discussed above.

Subsequent Events

The Company is required, under generally accepted accounting principles, to evaluate subsequent events through the filing of its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 on Form 10-K.  As a result, the Company will continue to evaluate the impact of any subsequent events on critical accounting assumptions and estimates made as of December 31, 2015 and will adjust amounts preliminarily reported, if necessary.

Conference Call

The Company will host an investor conference call to review these results on Wednesday, January 27, 2016 at 8 a.m. Central Time.  Participants may pre-register for the call by visiting http://dpregister.com/10078603 and will receive a unique PIN number, which can be used when dialing in for the call.  This will allow attendees to enter the call immediately.  Alternatively, participants may call (toll-free) 1-877-513-4119 at least five minutes prior to the call to be placed into the call by an operator.  International participants are asked to call 1-412-902-4148 and participants in Canada are asked to call (toll-free) 1-855-669-9657.
