Oct 24, 2017 05:00 pm
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- 

UMB Financial Corporation (Nasdaq: UMBF), a diversified financial holding company, announced income from continuing operations for the third quarter 2017 of $48.9 million or $0.98 per diluted share, compared to $44.8 million or $0.90 per diluted share in the second quarter 2017 (linked quarter) and $39.4 million or $0.80 per diluted share in the third quarter 2016. Results from continuing operations exclude the impact of the previously announced divestiture of Scout Investments, Inc., the company’s institutional investment management subsidiary. Reported GAAP income from continuing operations represents an increase of 9.2 percent on a linked-quarter basis and 24.0 percent compared to the third quarter 2016. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, GAAP income from continuing operations was $135.6 million or $2.72 per diluted share, an increase of 23.0 percent compared to $110.2 million or $2.24 per diluted share for the nine month period ended September 30, 2016.

Net operating income from continuing operations, a non-GAAP financial measure which is reconciled to the nearest comparable GAAP measure later in this release, was $48.9 million or $0.98 per diluted share for the third quarter 2017, compared to $44.9 million or $0.90 per diluted share for the linked quarter and $40.1 million or $0.81 per diluted share for the third quarter 2016. These results represent an increase of 8.9 percent on a linked-quarter basis and an increase of 21.9 percent compared to the third quarter 2016. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, net operating income from continuing operations was $136.2 million or $2.73 per diluted share, compared to $114.3 million or $2.32 per diluted share for the nine month period ended September 30, 2016.

“Third quarter 2017 highlights included year-over-year improvement of 29 basis points in our net interest margin and solid positive operating leverage of 3.4 percent,” said Mariner Kemper, chairman and chief executive officer. “Revenue increased 7.4 percent while expenses increased 4.0 percent compared to the third quarter 2016. Our balance sheet growth was driven by continued momentum in our commercial real estate lending business and our national lending platforms, as well as a 32 percent increase in healthcare deposits compared to a year ago.”

Net interest income

  • On a linked quarter basis, the increase in net interest income was driven by a four basis point improvement in net interest margin.
  • Earning asset yields improved 11 basis points from the linked quarter driven by improved loan yields of 15 basis points. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased 10 basis points due to increased federal fund borrowing costs of 20 basis points coupled with a nine basis point increase in interest-bearing deposit rates.
  • The cost of interest-bearing liabilities for the third quarter 2017 was 55 basis points, and total cost of funds, including noninterest-bearing deposits was 38 basis points.
  • On a year-over-year basis, the increase in net interest income was driven by a 7.2 percent or $729.3 million increase in average loans as well as higher average loan yields, which increased 47 basis points from one year ago, primarily driven by higher interest rates and mix changes.
  • For the third quarter 2017, average earning assets stood at $18.9 billion, which is flat compared to the linked quarter and an increase of 3.1 percent over the third quarter 2016.

Noninterest income

  • Third quarter 2017 noninterest income decreased $6.0 million, or 5.4 percent, on a linked quarter basis largely due to:
    • a $0.9 million decrease in bond trading fees, and a $0.8 million decrease in market adjustments from the company’s seed investments in certain Scout Funds following the liquidation of such investments at the end of the second quarter of 2017;
    • lower service charges on deposits driven by higher earnings credit rates;
    • lower bankcard fees driven by a $2.7 million increase in retail and commercial card program rewards and rebates expense recorded;
    • a decrease in other noninterest income of $1.1 million which was primarily due to a $1.0 million gain on the sale of a branch building recorded in the second quarter;
    • which were partially offset by a $1.1 million increase in gains on sales of available-for-sale securities.
  • Noninterest income in the third quarter of 2017 improved $0.8 million, or 0.7 percent, compared to the same quarter in 2016 primarily driven by:
    • a $1.7 million increase in fund servicing revenue, a $1.0 million increase in wealth management revenue, and a $0.5 million increase in corporate trust revenue all recorded in trust and securities processing;
    • which were partially offset by a $2.2 million decrease in equity earnings on alternative investments and $1.7 million decrease in trading and investment banking revenue, driven by a $1.2 million decrease in market adjustments from the company’s seed investments in certain Scout Funds and a $0.5 million decrease in bond trading fees.

  • GAAP noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2017 was $171.8 million and decreased $5.1 million, or 2.9 percent, from the linked quarter.
  • On a non-GAAP basis, operating noninterest expense (as reconciled later in this release) was $171.7 million for the third quarter 2017, a decrease of $4.9 million, or 2.8 percent, compared to the linked quarter, and an increase of $7.6 million, or 4.7 percent, compared to the third quarter 2016.
  • The linked quarter decrease in operating noninterest expense was driven by:
    • a $3.0 million decrease in salaries and employee benefits expense driven by a $1.6 million decrease in bonus and commission expense, and a $1.6 million decrease in employee benefits partially due to lower employment taxes and medical expense;
    • a $0.7 million decline in both supplies and services expense and marketing and business development expenses.
  • The year-over-year increase in GAAP noninterest expense of $6.6 million, or 4.0 percent, was primarily driven by:
    • a $1.9 million increase in equipment expense for computer and hardware costs related to investments for regulatory requirements, cyber security, and the ongoing modernization of the company’s core systems;
    • higher processing expenses in healthcare, fund servicing, and institutional businesses and higher legal and consulting expense;
    • a $0.7 million increase in off-balance sheet commitment reserves and $0.5 million increase in losses on sales of assets, both recorded in other noninterest expense.

Income Taxes

  • For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the company’s effective tax rate decreased to 21.4 percent compared to 23.6 percent for the same period a year earlier. The decrease is primarily attributable to a larger portion of income being earned from tax-exempt municipal securities and an increase in excess tax benefits associated with stock compensation recorded through the third quarter of 2017.

Balance Sheet

  • Average total assets for the third quarter 2017 were $20.3 billion, unchanged from the linked quarter, and up from $19.7 billion for the same period in 2016.

  • Total securities available for sale decreased 2.2 percent on a linked-quarter basis and 6.4 percent compared to the third quarter 2016, driven by the ongoing reinvestment of cash flows from such securities to fund growth in the private placement bond and loan portfolio.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

In this release, we provide information about net operating income, operating earnings per share - diluted (operating EPS), operating return on average equity (operating ROE), operating return on average assets (operating ROA), operating noninterest expense, operating efficiency ratio, income from discontinued operations-general operations, and earnings per share from discontinued operations-general operations, all of which are non-GAAP financial measures. This information supplements the results that are reported according to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP) and should not be viewed in isolation from, or as a substitute for, GAAP results. The differences between the non-GAAP financial measures—net operating income, operating EPS, operating ROE, operating ROA, operating noninterest expense, operating efficiency ratio, income from discontinued operations-general operations, and earnings per share from discontinued operations-general operations—and the nearest comparable GAAP financial measures are reconciled later in this release. The company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations may be useful to investors because they adjust for fair value adjustments, acquisition- and severance-related items, one-time marketing agent termination costs, and divestiture costs that management does not believe reflect the company’s fundamental operating performance.

Net operating income for the relevant period is defined as GAAP net income, adjusted to reflect the impact of excluding the following: (i) fair value adjustments on contingent consideration for the acquisitions of Reams Asset Management Company (Reams), (ii) expenses related to acquisitions, (iii) non-acquisition related severance expense, and (v) the cumulative tax impact of the previous adjustments. The company believes that the financial impact of excluding non-acquisition related severance expense will be immaterial in the near future. It is excluded from certain GAAP financial measures as it has an unusually large impact on the company’s financial statements.

Operating EPS (basic and diluted) is calculated as earnings per share as reported, adjusted to reflect, on a per share basis, the impact of excluding the non-GAAP adjustments described in clauses (i)-(v) above for the relevant period. Operating ROE is calculated as net operating income, divided by the company’s average total shareholders’ equity for the relevant period. Operating ROA is calculated as net operating income, divided by the company’s average assets for the relevant period. Operating noninterest expense for the relevant period is defined as GAAP noninterest expense, adjusted to reflect the pre-tax impact of non-GAAP adjustments described in clauses (i)-(iii) above. Operating efficiency ratio is calculated as the company’s operating noninterest expense, net of amortization of other intangibles, divided by the company’s total revenue (calculated as tax equivalent net interest income, plus noninterest income, less gains on sales of securities available for sale, net).

Income from discontinued operations-general operations for the relevant period is defined as GAAP income from discontinued operations, adjusted to reflect the impact of excluding non-GAAP adjustment (iii) and (v) above and (iv) divestiture expenses related to Scout for the relevant period. The company believes that the financial impact of excluding non-acquisition related severance expense will be immaterial in the near future. It is excluded from certain GAAP financial measures as it has an unusually large impact on the company’s financial statements.

Earnings per share from discontinued operations-general operations (diluted) is calculated as earnings per share from discontinued operations (diluted) as reported, adjusted to reflect, on a per share basis, the impact of excluding non-GAAP adjustment (iii) and (v) above and (iv) divestiture expenses related to Scout for the relevant period.

Forward-Looking Statements:

This release contains, and our other communications may contain, forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts—such as our statements about the timeframe or amount of expected proceeds from the closing of the sale of Scout. Forward-looking statements often use words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “project,” “outlook,” “forecast,” “target,” “trend,” “plan,” “goal,” or other words of comparable meaning or future-tense or conditional verbs such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “would,” or “could.” Forward-looking statements convey our expectations, intentions, or forecasts about future events, circumstances, results, or aspirations. All forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions, risks, and uncertainties, which may change over time and many of which are beyond our control. You should not rely on any forward-looking statement as a prediction or guarantee about the future. Our actual future objectives, strategies, plans, prospects, performance, condition, or results may differ materially from those set forth in any forward-looking statement. Some of the factors that may cause actual results or other future events, circumstances, or aspirations to differ from those in forward-looking statements are described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or Current Reports on Form 8-K, or other applicable documents that are filed or furnished with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Any forward-looking statement made by us or on our behalf speaks only as of the date that it was made. We do not undertake to update any forward-looking statement to reflect the impact of events, circumstances, or results that arise after the date that the statement was made. You, however, should consult further disclosures (including disclosures of a forward-looking nature) that we may make in any subsequent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K, or other applicable document that is filed or furnished with the SEC.
