JOLIET, Ill., April 25, 2017 -- First Community Financial Partners, Inc. (NASDAQ:FCFP) (“First Community” or the “Company”), the parent company of First Community Financial Bank (the “Bank”), today reported financial results as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2017.
Net income applicable to shareholders for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 was $3.4 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, compared with $2.7 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2016 and $2.0 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2016. First quarter results were positively impacted by an increase in net interest income and reduced income tax expense from the benefit related to stock incentive compensation, offset by increased professional fees in connection with the announced pending merger with First Busey.
“We are seeing positive trends across most of our key metrics including strong balance sheet growth, an expanding net interest margin and improving credit quality,” said Roy Thygesen, Chief Executive Officer of First Community. “We continue to successfully attract new commercial customers to the Bank, which helped drive organic loan growth of 29% in the first quarter. We are executing well and looking forward to completing our merger with First Busey Corporation, which we believe will enhance our ability to serve our customers’ needs through an expanded offering of financial products and services.”
First Quarter 2017 Financial Results
Loans
At March 31, 2017, total loans were $1.1 billion, an increase of $72.1 million, or 7.30%, since December 31, 2016 and $286.2 million, or 36.96%, year-over-year.
Commercial loans grew $14.5 million, or 5.15%, since year end 2016 and $115.2 million, or 63.58%, year-over-year. Commercial real estate loans increased $48.1 million, or 11.30%, since year end 2016, and $95.7 million, or 25.31%, year-over-year. Residential real estate loans grew $5.4 million, or 3.10%, since year end 2016 and $42.2 million, or 30.33% year-over-year. Construction loans were up $3.7 million, or 7.92%, since year end 2016 and $23.3 million, or 83.77%, year-over-year.
Deposits and Other Borrowings
At March 31, 2017, total deposits were $1.11 billion, an increase of $25.1 million, or 2.32%, since December 31, 2016 and $229.3 million, or 26.08%, year-over-year.
Noninterest bearing demand deposits increased $13.7 million, or 5.52%, since December 31, 2016 and $57.1 million, or 27.94%, year-over-year. Interest bearing transactional accounts (NOW, savings and money market accounts) increased $20.6 million, or 4.05%, during the first quarter of 2017 and $148.5 million, or 39.03%, year-over-year. Time deposits decreased $9.2 million, or 2.80%, during the first quarter, but increased $23.6 million, or 8.04%, year-over-year. The ratio of time deposits to total deposits was 28.67% at March 31, 2017, down from 30.18% at December 31, 2016 and 30.36% at March 31, 2016. Other borrowings increased $38.1 million, or 74.57%, since the end of the fourth quarter of 2016, and $32.4 million, or 56.84%, year-over-year, as a result of higher reliance on FHLB borrowings in order to fund loan growth.
Net Interest Income and Margin
First quarter 2017 net interest income was up $387,000, or 3.78%, from the fourth quarter of 2016. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in average loan balances and higher net interest margin.
The Company’s net interest margin was 3.50% for the first quarter of 2017, compared to 3.40% in the fourth quarter of 2016. The increase was primarily attributable to two prime rate increases since mid December 2016 in response to the Federal Reserve increasing the targeted Federal Funds rate by 25 basis points in December 2016 and again in March 2017.
Noninterest Income and Expense
First quarter 2017 noninterest income increased $59,000, or 6.57%, from the fourth quarter of 2016. The increase was primarily related to increases in service charges on deposits and other non-interest income.
Service charges on deposits increased $24,000, or 8.42%, from the fourth quarter of 2016, which was primarily the result of higher account analysis fees. Mortgage income was down $98,000, or 45.79%, for the first quarter of 2017, as compared to the fourth quarter of 2016, as a result of lower mortgage sale volumes. The increase in other non-interest income of $142,000 was primarily the result of a $144,000 fee earned on a swap transaction that closed in the first quarter of 2017 offset by lower income related to letter of credit fees, lease referral income and other miscellaneous income.
First quarter 2017 noninterest expense increased $521,000, or 7.53%, from the fourth quarter of 2016. The increase from the fourth quarter was primarily related to an increase in professional fees related to our pending merger with First Busey and an increase in data processing fees as a result of accrual reversals booked in the fourth quarter of 2016.
Income Taxes
Income taxes for the first quarter of 2017 were $365,000, or 9.68%, of income before income taxes as compared to $1.4 million, or 33.64%, of income before income taxes for the fourth quarter of 2016. The decrease in effective tax rate was largely related to $936,000 in excess tax benefit on stock-based compensation, which is recognized as a credit to income tax expense by way of the adoption of ASU 2016-09.
Asset Quality
Total nonperforming assets decreased $225,000, or 3.42%, to $6.4 million at March 31, 2017 from December 31, 2016. The ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets was 0.48% at March 31, 2017 compared to 0.52% at December 31, 2016. The decrease in total nonperforming assets was the result of charge-offs and the return of one loan to accrual status during the first quarter. In addition, one loan was moved to other real estate owned during the first quarter.
The Company had net charge-offs on loans of $108,000 in the first quarter of 2017, compared to net charge-offs of $783,000 in the fourth quarter of 2016.
The ratios of the Company’s allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans and allowance for loan losses to total loans were 219.65% and 1.12% at March 31, 2017, respectively.
The Company recorded a provision for loan losses in the first quarter of 2017 of $375,000 compared to $0 for the same period in 2016. The current year provision was the result of the loan growth experienced during the first quarter of 2017.

In compliance with applicable rules of the SEC, this non-GAAP measure is reconciled to pre-tax net income, which is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. The Company’s management believes the presentation of pre-tax pre-provision core income provides investors with a greater understanding of the Company’s operating results, in addition to the results measured in accordance with GAAP. | |||||||||||||||
