Highlights

  • Record quarterly net income of $46.4 million; diluted earnings per share of $0.63, which included $0.02 per share negative impact from acquisition-related expenses
  • Net interest margin of 4.41%, up 12 basis points from linked quarter
  • Third quarter loan production of $408.9 million
  • Nonperforming assets to period end assets ratio decreased to 0.52%
  • Special cash dividend of $0.14 in addition to regular quarterly dividend

Hadley Robbins, President and Chief Executive Officer of Columbia Banking System and Columbia Bank (NASDAQ: COLB) ("Columbia"), said today upon the release of Columbia's third quarter 2018 earnings, "We had a very successful quarter in generating a record level of loan production while continuing to work down nonperforming assets, as evidenced by the 9 basis point reduction compared to the prior quarter." Mr. Robbins continued, "I am also pleased with the 12 basis point increase in our net interest margin, which was favorably impacted by higher loan and securities rates and a more favorable deposit mix driven by an increase in noninterest-bearing deposits."

Balance Sheet

Total assets at September 30, 2018 were $12.96 billion, an increase of $328.0 million from June 30, 2018. Loans were $8.51 billion, up $60.2 million from June 30, 2018 as loan originations of $408.9 million were partially offset by payments and lower line utilization. Debt securities available for sale were $2.92 billion at September 30, 2018, an increase of $274.9 million, or 10% from $2.65 billion at June 30, 2018. Total deposits at September 30, 2018 were $10.60 billion, an increase of $220.0 million from June 30, 2018. Core deposits comprised 95% of total deposits and were $10.08 billion at September 30, 2018, an increase of $196.0 million from June 30, 2018. The average cost of total deposits for the quarter was 0.12%, an increase of 2 basis points from the second quarter of 2018.

Income Statement

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the third quarter of 2018 was $122.8 million, an increase of $6.1 million from the linked quarter and an increase of $33.9 million from the prior year period. The increase from the linked quarter was due to a combination of higher rates on earning assets and higher volumes of loans and taxable securities. The increase from the prior year period was primarily due to income from earning assets acquired in the Pacific Continental acquisition, which closed on November 1, 2017, as well as higher rates on earning assets. For additional information regarding net interest income, see the "Net Interest Margin" section and the "Average Balances and Rates" table.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income was $21.0 million for the third quarter of 2018, a decrease of $2.7 million from the second quarter of 2018. The linked quarter decrease was principally due to lower card revenue as we became subject to the interchange fee cap imposed under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act as of July 1, 2018. Compared to the third quarter of 2017, noninterest income decreased by $16.0 million. The decrease was due to the $14.0 million one-time gain on the sale of our merchant card services portfolio in the prior year period as well as a decrease in card revenue during the current quarter as previously described. Also contributing to the decrease in noninterest income compared to the prior year period was our change to net presentation of interchange revenue pursuant to the adoption of new revenue recognition accounting guidance on January 1, 2018. Specifically, $1.3 million of payment card network expenses that would have historically been presented in other noninterest expense are now presented in card revenue.

Noninterest Expense

Total noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2018 was $82.8 million, a decrease of $1.8 million from the second quarter of 2018. After removing the effect of acquisition-related expenses of $1.1 million, noninterest expense for the current quarter was essentially flat from the linked quarter on the same basis as higher legal and professional fees and compensation and employee benefits were offset by lower occupancy and OREO expense. Compared to the third quarter of 2017, noninterest expense increased by $15.3 million. This increase was primarily driven by higher compensation and employee benefits and higher amortization of intangible assets, both resulting from our November 1, 2017 acquisition of Pacific Continental.

Provision for Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate for the current quarter was 19.7%, compared to 19.3% and 31.0% for the linked and prior year periods, respectively. The decrease from the prior year period was principally attributable to the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act on December 22, 2017, which lowered the corporate tax rate to 21% from 35%. The prior year period's effective tax rate reflected the then-enacted 35% corporate tax rate reduced by favorable tax attributes of certain earning assets and discrete tax benefits from share-based compensation.

Our effective tax rate remains below the statutory tax rate due to tax-exempt income from municipal securities, bank owned life insurance and certain loan receivables.

Net Interest Margin

Columbia's net interest margin (tax equivalent) for the third quarter of 2018 was 4.41%, an increase of 12 basis points from the linked quarter and 21 basis points from the prior year period. Columbia's operating net interest margin (tax equivalent)(1) was 4.38% for the third quarter of 2018, an increase of 11 basis points from the linked quarter and an increase of 23 basis points from the prior year period. All increases were due to higher rates on interest-earning assets, which more than offset the modest increase in rates on interest-bearing liabilities from the comparative periods.

Asset Quality

At September 30, 2018, nonperforming assets to total assets were 0.52% compared to 0.61% at June 30, 2018. Total nonperforming assets decreased $8.8 million from the linked quarter due to a $9.2 million decrease in nonaccrual loans, partially offset by an increase in other real estate owned.

Andy McDonald, Columbia's Executive Vice President and Chief Credit Officer, commented, "This past quarter was very strong from a credit perspective as we enjoyed net recoveries, declines in nonperforming assets and recorded a modest provision as well. While we are pleased with these results, we do not believe they are indicative of the long run credit profile of our loan portfolio. As such, we would expect to see them move towards the norm in future quarters."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company considers its operating net interest margin and operating efficiency ratios to be useful measurements as they more closely reflect the ongoing operating performance of the Company. Despite the usefulness of the operating net interest margin and operating efficiency ratio to the Company, there are no standardized definitions for them and, as a result, the Company's calculations may not be comparable with other organizations. The Company encourages readers to consider its consolidated financial statements in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.

The following tables reconcile the Company's calculation of the operating net interest margin and operating efficiency ratio:

The amount of such adjustment was an addition to net interest income of $2.0 million, $1.9 million, and $3.0 million for the three month periods ended September 30, 2018, June 30, 2018, and September 30, 2017; and $5.8 million and $8.7 million for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, respectively.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures - Continued

The Company also considers its core noninterest expense ratio to be a useful measurement as it more closely reflects the ongoing operating performance of the Company. Despite the usefulness of the core noninterest expense ratio to the Company, there is not a standardized definition for it, as a result, the Company's calculations may not be comparable with other organizations. The Company encourages readers to consider its consolidated financial statements in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.

The following table reconciles the Company's calculation of the core noninterest expense ratio:

Non-GAAP Financial Measures - Continued

The Company also considers its return on average tangible common equity ratio to be a useful measurement as it evaluates the Company's ongoing ability to generate returns for its common shareholders. By removing the impact of intangible assets and their related amortization and tax effects, the performance of the business can be evaluated, whether acquired or developed internally. Despite the usefulness of this ratio to the Company, there is not a standardized definition for it, and, as a result, the Company's calculation may not always be comparable with other organizations. The Company encourages readers to consider its consolidated financial statements in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.
