BOSTON, April 20, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Brookline Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: BRKL) (the "Company") today announced net income of $12.8 million, or $0.18 per basic and diluted share, for the first quarter of 2016, compared to $11.7 million, or $0.17 per basic and diluted share, for the first quarter of 2015.

Paul Perrault, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, stated: "I am pleased to report another good quarter in all areas of the Company. Most notably, we experienced solid growth in loans, deposits and revenues while holding expense levels. Our asset quality remains strong and the Company continues to be well-capitalized. We look forward to the rest of the year with confidence."

BALANCE SHEET

Total assets at March 31, 2016 increased $138.7 million to $6.2 billion from $6.0 billion at December 31, 2015, and increased $425.9 million from $5.8 billion at March 31, 2015. The increase in total assets of 9.2 percent on an annualized basis during the first quarter of 2016 was primarily driven by increases in loans and leases. At March 31, 2016, total loans and leases were $5.1 billion, representing an increase of $134.9 million from December 31, 2015, and an increase of $495.9 million from March 31, 2015. During the first quarter of 2016, total loans and leases grew 10.8 percent on an annualized basis. Strong loan growth continued in the commercial real estate and commercial loan and lease portfolios, which increased $126.3 million during the first quarter of 2016, or 12.5 percent on an annualized basis.

Investment securities at March 31, 2016 increased $12.6 million to $619.6 million, or 10.0 percent of total assets, as compared to $607.0 million, or 10.0 percent of total assets, at December 31, 2015, and increased approximately $54.0 million from $565.6 million, or 9.8 percent of total assets, at March 31, 2015.

Total deposits at March 31, 2016 increased $87.4 million to $4.4 billion from $4.3 billion at December 31, 2015 and increased $278.7 million from $4.1 billion at March 31, 2015. Core deposits, which consist of demand checking, NOW, savings, and money market accounts, increased $67.2 million from December 31, 2015 and increased $222.1 million from March 31, 2015. Core deposits as a percentage of total deposits also increased slightly to 74.8 percent at March 31, 2016 from 74.7 percent at December 31, 2015 and increased from 74.4 percent at March 31, 2015. The average cost of interest bearing deposits increased slightly to 0.54 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2016 from 0.52 percent for the three months ended December 31, 2015.

The ratio of stockholders' equity to total assets was 11.01 percent at March 31, 2016, as compared to 11.05 percent at December 31, 2015, and 11.32 percent at March 31, 2015, respectively. The ratio of tangible stockholders' equity to tangible assets was 8.83 percent at March 31, 2016, as compared to 8.81 percent at December 31, 2015, and 8.93 percent at March 31, 2015.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income decreased $0.9 million to $49.2 million during the first quarter of 2016 from the previous quarter and the net interest margin decreased 9 basis points to 3.45 percent. The prior quarter included the accelerated recognition of $1.0 million related to the prepayment of several acquired loans which contributed to the decline in net interest income for the quarter.

PROVISION FOR LOAN AND LEASE LOSSES

The Company recorded a provision for loan and lease losses of $2.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, compared to $1.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2015. The increase of $0.6 million quarter over quarter was primarily driven by the solid loan growth in the quarter.

Net charge-offs decreased $1.0 million to $0.4 million for the first quarter of 2016 from $1.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2015. The ratio of net charge-offs to average loans on an annualized basis decreased to 3 basis points for the first quarter of 2016 from 11 basis points for the fourth quarter of 2015.

The allowance for loan and lease losses represented 1.14 percent of total loans and leases at March 31, 2016, compared to 1.14 percent at December 31, 2015, and 1.19 percent at March 31, 2015. The allowance for loan and lease losses related to originated loans and leases as a percentage of originated loans and leases was 1.20 percent at March 31, 2016, compared to 1.20 percent at December 31, 2015, and 1.28 percent at March 31, 2015.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

Non-interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 increased $0.4 million to $6.5 million from $6.1 million for the previous quarter. The increase was primarily driven by an increase of $0.3 million in gain on sales of loans and leases held-for-sale and an increase of $0.1 million due to loan level derivative mark to market adjustments recorded in other income.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

Non-interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 decreased $0.3 million to $32.1 million from $32.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2015. The Company's efficiency ratio improved to 57.57% at March 31, 2016, compared with 59.11% at March 31, 2015.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

The effective tax rate was 35.8 percent and 36.6 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily driven by investments in municipal bonds and changes in state tax laws.

RETURNS ON AVERAGE ASSETS AND AVERAGE EQUITY

The return on average assets increased during the first quarter of 2016 to 0.84 percent at March 31, 2016 from 0.80 percent at March 31, 2015. The return on average tangible assets increased to 0.86 percent for the first quarter of 2016 from 0.82 percent for the first quarter of 2015.

The return on average tangible stockholders' equity increased to 9.69 percent for the first quarter of 2016 from 9.41 percent for the first quarter of 2015.

ASSET QUALITY

The ratio of nonperforming loans and leases to total loans and leases was 0.62 percent at March 31, 2016 as nonperforming loans and leases increased $12.6 million to $31.9 million at December 31, 2015, a majority of which related to the restructure of taxi medallion loans during the quarter. Nonperforming assets increased $11.8 million to $32.5 million or 0.53 percent of total assets at March 31, 2016.

DIVIDEND DECLARED

The Company's Board of Directors approved a dividend of $0.09 per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2016. The dividend will be paid on May 20, 2016 to stockholders of record on May 6, 2016.
