Chemical Financial (CHFC) Misses Q4 EPS by 1c

Chemical Financial (NASDAQ: CHFC) reported Q4 EPS of $0.66, $0.01 worse than the analyst estimate of $0.67.

"2015 was a year of significant accomplishments for Chemical Financial Corporation, with strong acquisitive and organic growth leading to double digit percentage gains in earnings per share, excluding nonrecurring acquisition-related expenses. In the fourth quarter of 2015, we completed the integration into Chemical Bank of The Bank of Holland and The Bank of Northern Michigan, which were acquired in the Lake Michigan Financial Corporation transaction, the third major acquisition we’ve closed and integrated in the past fifteen months. In doing so, we have brought a number of new commercial and retail customers into the Chemical Bank fold, while ensuring that we continued to meet the needs of our existing customers and communities," noted David B. Ramaker, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of the Corporation.

"I’m extremely proud of the work done by Chemical’s 2,100 employees as we have extended our community-focused approach to banking across Michigan, while successfully executing our core banking strategies. Looking ahead to the future, we see opportunities to extend our franchise even further. As we continue our recent pattern of growth to the $10-billion asset level and beyond, we are mindful of the increased regulatory burden we will face, and of the need to forge through, as opposed to merely cross over, that threshold," added Ramaker.
