RESTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Access National Corporation (NASDAQ: ANCX) (the “Corporation” or “Access”), parent company for Access National Bank (the “Bank”) and Middleburg Investment Group, reported third quarter 2018 net income of $9.6 million, or $0.46 per diluted share. This represents the Corporation’s 73^rd consecutive quarterly profit over its 75 quarter history. Consistent with management’s objective of a 40% dividend payout ratio against level and sustainable earnings, the Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.17 per share for common shareholders of record as of November 08, 2018 and payable on November 23, 2018. This dividend reflects a $0.01 increase from the prior quarter.

Highlights

• For the three month period ended September 30, 2018, net income increased 7.2% compared to the preceding period and 37.2% compared to the same period of the prior year;
• Gross loans held for investment increased $110.1 million (22.2% annualized) during the three-month period to $2.1 billion at September 30, 2018;
• Excluding brokered deposits, customer deposits increased $131.8 million (25.0% annualized) during the three month period ended September 30, 2018 to $2.2 billion;
• Demand deposits of $1.2 billion at September 30, 2018 comprised 52.9% of total deposits, inclusive of $757.9 million of non-interest bearing demand deposits or 33.0% of the deposit portfolio. Non-interest bearing demand deposits increased $38.0 million and $47.2 million during the three month and twelve month periods ended September 30, 2018, respectively; and
• Tangible book value¹ per common share was $12.33 at September 30, 2018, an increase of $0.34 from the linked quarter.

According to CEO Michael Clarke, “Third quarter 2018 reflects strong performance against our stated strategic growth and profitability measures as customer deposits and loans exceeded a linked quarter growth rate in excess of $200 million per annum. We experienced strong increases in nominal earnings during the period and exceeded our strategic profitability measures with Return on Tangible Common Average Equity (ROTCAE) of 15.20% compared to the target of 13.25%, and Return on Average Assets of 1.30% compared to the target of 1.25%.” Mr. Clarke continued, “The announced merger with Union Bankshares Corporation (“Union”) will enable us to further accelerate growth and opportunity in our markets. We are excited about being an important part of the Union team and the combined positioning as Virginia’s regional bank.”

On a linked quarter basis, the mortgage segment margins increased while origination volume decreased, resulting in pretax earnings of $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $0.9 million for the linked quarter.

During the period, we evaluated the accounting for our low income housing tax credits as well as investments in small business investment company funds (SBICs) and elected to change the policy for these investments. We believe the change better reflects our economic interest in these investments. We believe that the results of this change are immaterial to the results of our operations and they were recorded through the current period as a one-time after-tax gain of $882 thousand or $0.04 per share on a fully diluted basis. This includes $608 thousand ($445 thousand pre-tax credit to income with a $163 thousand credit to income tax provision) related to low income housing tax credits and a $466 thousand pre-tax gain related to equity investments.

The Corporation’s efficiency ratio has improved each quarter during 2018 and is within the stated strategic target threshold of 65% or better at September 30, 2018 at 60.19%.

The net interest margin on a fully tax equivalent (non-GAAP) basis remained consistent at 3.67% when comparing third quarter 2018 to the linked quarter. Net purchase mark accretion included in net interest income was $634 thousand for the third quarter 2018 and $781 thousand for the linked quarter.

Gross loans Held for Investment increased $110.1 million during the quarter to $2.1 billion at September 30, 2018. As of September 30, 2018, commercial and industrial loans as well as owner occupied commercial real estate loans combined to account for 49% of the loan portfolio, reflecting the Corporation’s continued focus on lower-middle-market businesses. The Corporation’s priority focus remains on expanding borrowers in these portfolios as a driver of future growth in the loan portfolio, along with related core deposits.

Noninterest-bearing deposits at September 30, 2018 were $757.9 million, an increase of $38.0 million compared to the second quarter of 2018. Noninterest-bearing deposits remain the largest and most attractive source of funding for the Corporation, comprising 33% of the deposit portfolio. When combined with interest-bearing demand deposit accounts, total transaction accounts comprise 53% of the total deposit portfolio, reducing reliance of non-core and more price sensitive funding.

Total deposits at September 30, 2018 were $2.3 billion, an increase of $168.1 million from the $2.1 billion at June 30, 2018. The increase in interest-bearing deposits was most pronounced in the savings and interest-bearing deposits category. The Corporation’s strategy places a high priority on the maintenance and expansion of core deposits, particularly transaction accounts. Premium interest rates are targeted to existing high value core depositors and used offensively to acquire new accounts in selective market segments.

Short-term borrowings decreased $77.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2018. This decrease is primarily attributable to the increase in core deposit accounts seen during the quarter.

Asset quality remained strong for the quarter. Non-performing assets (“NPAs”) increased to $6.1 million at September 30, 2018 from $6.0 million at June 30, 2018, representing 0.20% and 0.21% of total assets, respectively. Included in the NPA total is $644 thousand in other real estate owned. The allowance for loan loss was $17.3 million and $15.8 million at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, and represented 0.83% of total loans held for investment at the end of the third quarter 2018.

Tangible book value² per common share increased to $12.33 at September 30, 2018 from $11.52 at December 31, 2017. The tangible common equity ratio for Access National Corporation and its subsidiary bank was 9.09% at September 30, 2018, within the Corporation’s target range of 8.50% to 9.50%.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures - Unaudited

The press release contains certain financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with generally accepted accounting policies in the United States (GAAP). These non-GAAP financial measures are “tangible book value per common shares”, “tangible common equity ratio”, and “net interest margin on a fully tax equivalent basis.” This non-GAAP disclosure has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Corporation’s results as reported under GAAP, nor is it necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. Management uses these non-GAAP measures in its analysis of our performance because it believes these measures are material and will be used as a measure of our performance by investors.
