DETAILED FINANCIALS

ServisFirst Bancshares, Inc. reported net income and net income available to common stockholders of $21.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2016, compared to net income of $19.8 million and net income available to common stockholders of $19.7 million for the same quarter in 2015.  Basic and diluted earnings per common share were $0.41 and $0.40 respectively, for the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to $0.38 and $0.37, respectively, for the fourth quarter of 2015.

Return on average assets was 1.39% and return on average equity was 16.71% for the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to 1.55% and 17.75%, respectively, for the fourth quarter of 2015.

Net interest income was $49.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to $47.9 million for the third quarter of 2016 and $43.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2015.  The net interest margin in the fourth quarter of 2016 was 3.30%, a five basis point decrease from the third quarter of 2016 and 26 basis point decrease from the fourth quarter of 2015.  The increase in net interest income on a linked quarter basis is attributable to a $126.1 million increase in average loans outstanding, a $39.3 million increase in average non-interest-bearing deposits and a $17.6 million increase in average stockholders' equity, all resulting in a positive mix change in our balance sheet.  The average yield on loans decreased by two basis points to 4.45% on a linked quarter basis.

Average loans for the fourth quarter of 2016 were $4.70 billion, an increase of $126.1 million, or 3%, over average loans of $4.58 billion for the third quarter of 2016, and an increase of $580.2 million, or 14%, over average loans of $4.12 billion for the fourth quarter of 2015.

Average total deposits for the fourth quarter of 2016 were $5.27 billion, an increase of $291.7 million, or 6%, over average total deposits of $4.98 billion for the third quarter of 2016, and an increase of $1.01 billion, or 24%, over average total deposits of $4.27 billion for the fourth quarter of 2015.

Non-performing assets to total assets were 0.34% for the fourth quarter of 2016, an increase of 18 basis points compared to 0.16% for the third quarter of 2016 and an increase of eight basis points compared to 0.26% for the fourth quarter of 2015.  One loan with a balance of approximately $6.2 million, which was greater than 90 days past due and accruing as of December 31, 2016, has paid current as of the date of this earnings release.  This loan represented 10 basis points of the non-performing assets ratio as of December 31, 2016.  Net credit charge-offs to average loans were 0.09%, a four basis point decrease compared to 0.13% for the third quarter of 2016 and a 15 basis point decrease compared to 0.24% for the fourth quarter of 2015.  We recorded a $4.1 million provision for loan losses in the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to $3.5 million in the third quarter of 2016 and $3.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2015.  The allowance for loan loss as a percentage of total loans was 1.06% for December 31, 2016 compared to 1.05% at September 30, 2016 and 1.03% at December 31, 2015.  In management's opinion, the allowance is adequate and was determined by consistent application of ServisFirst Bank's methodology for calculating its allowance for loan losses.

Non-interest income increased $2.5 million during the fourth quarter of 2016, or 71%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2015.  Mortgage banking revenue increased by $424,000 in the fourth quarter of 2016, or 68%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2015, resulting from a 38% increase in the number of loans originated and improved operations, translating to increased net gains on sales.  Credit card income increased $411,000 in the fourth quarter of 2016, or 64%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2015, resulting from an 89% increase in the volume of spending on ServisFirst Bank cards and a 29% increase in spending on our agent banks' cards.  We recognized a $1.3 million gain on the sale of fixed assets during the fourth quarter of 2016.

Non-interest expense for the fourth quarter of 2016 increased $3.0 million, or 16%, to $22.0 million from $19.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, and increased $1.8 million, or 9%, on a linked quarter basis.  Salary and benefit expense for the fourth quarter of 2016 increased $2.3 million, or 26%, to $11.2 million from $8.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, and increased $200,000, or 2%, on a linked quarter basis.  We reversed $2.0 million of accrued incentive pay during the fourth quarter of 2015.  Excluding this reversal, salary and benefit expenses increased $300,000, or 3%, from the fourth quarter of 2015 to the fourth quarter of 2016.  Equipment and Occupancy expense increased $358,000, or 24% to $1.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, from $1.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2015.  This increase in equipment and occupancy expense was attributable to new offices in our Charleston, South Carolina and Nashville, Tennessee regions, each of which were relocations from temporary facilities we previously occupied.  We also accelerated depreciation of leasehold improvements in our Birmingham, Alabama headquarters building to coincide with our anticipated move date to our new headquarters building, which we anticipate will be in the second half of 2017.  Professional services expense increased $352,000, or 50%, to $1.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, from $706,000 in the fourth quarter of 2015, primarily the result of legal fees accrued for pending litigation.  FDIC assessments increased $339,000, or 46%, to $1.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, from $733,000 in the fourth quarter of 2015.  This increase was the result of higher assessment rates under the new assessment calculation rule adopted by the FDIC effective at the beginning of the second quarter 2016, and growth in assets.

Income tax expense increased $2.7 million, or 59%, to $7.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to $4.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, and increased $3.8 million, or 15%, to $29.3 million in the year ended December 31, 2016, compared to $25.5 million in the year ended December 31, 2015.  In the second quarter of 2016 we adopted the amendments in Accounting Standards Update 2016-09 using the modified retrospective method.  We have recognized excess tax benefits from the exercise and vesting of stock options and restricted stock of $54,000 in the fourth quarter of 2016 and $4.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2016.  Previously under generally accepted accounting principles, such credits were reflected within additional paid-in capital.

GAAP Reconciliation and Management Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We recorded expenses of $2.1 million for the first quarter of 2015 related to the acquisition of Metro Bancshares, Inc. and the merger of Metro Bank with and into the Bank, and recorded an expense of $500,000 resulting from the initial funding of reserves for unfunded loan commitments for the first quarter of 2015, consistent with guidance provided in the Federal Reserve Bank's Inter-agency Policy Statement SR 06-17.  Core financial measures included in this press release are "core net income," "core net income available to common stockholders," "core diluted earnings per share," "core return on average assets" and "core return on average common stockholders' equity."  Each of these five core financial measures excludes the impact of the non-routine expenses attributable to merger expenses and the initial funding of reserves for unfunded loan commitments, and are all considered non-GAAP financial measures.  Other non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release are "tangible common stockholders' equity," "total tangible assets," "tangible book value per share," and "tangible common equity to total tangible assets."  All non-GAAP financial measures are more fully explained below.

"Core net income" is defined as net income, adjusted by the net effect of the non-routine expense.

"Core net income available to common stockholders" is defined as net income available to common stockholders, adjusted by the net effect of the non-routine expense.

"Core diluted earnings per share" is defined as net income available to common stockholders, adjusted by the net effect of the non-routine expense, divided by weighted average diluted shares outstanding.

"Core return on average assets" is defined as net income, adjusted by the net effect of the non-routine expense, divided by average total assets.

"Core return of average common stockholders' equity" is defined as net income, adjusted by the net effect of the non-routine expense, divided by average common stockholders' equity.

"Tangible common stockholders' equity" is defined as common stockholders' equity, adjusted by the total of goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets.

"Total tangible assets" is defined as total assets, adjusted by the total of goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets.

"Tangible book value per share" is defined as tangible common stockholders' equity divided by the number of common shares outstanding.

"Tangible common equity to total tangible assets" is defined as tangible common equity divided by total tangible assets.

We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to management and investors that is supplementary to our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows computed in accordance with GAAP; however, we acknowledge that these non-GAAP financial measures have a number of limitations.  As such, you should not view these disclosures as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP, and they are not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP financial measures that other companies, including those in our industry, use.  The following reconciliation table provides a more detailed analysis of the non-GAAP financial measures as of and for the annual comparative periods ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 included in this press release.  Dollars are in thousands, except share and per share data.
