UMB Financial Corporation (Nasdaq: UMBF), a diversified financial holding company, announced earnings for the three months ended December 31, 2015, of $29.6 million or $0.61 per share ($0.60 diluted). This is an increase of $2.7 million, or 10.0 percent, compared to fourth quarter 2014 earnings of $26.9 million or $0.60 per share ($0.59 diluted). Earnings for the year ended December 31, 2015, were $116.1 million or $2.46 per share ($2.44 diluted) or a decrease of $4.6 million, or 3.8 percent, compared to the prior year-end earnings of $120.7 million or $2.69 per share ($2.65 diluted).

The company is introducing the non-GAAP financial measure of net operating income to facilitate the evaluation of its fundamental operating performance. Net operating income, which is reconciled to earnings (GAAP net income) later in this release, excludes (net of tax) the contingency reserve expense related to an acquisition, fair value adjustments to contingent consideration for acquisitions, expenses related to an acquisition, and non-acquisition severance expense. Net operating income for the fourth quarter 2015 was $34.2 million or $0.70 per share ($0.70 diluted). This is an increase of $6.4 million, or 23.1 percent, compared to fourth quarter 2014 net operating income of $27.8 million or $0.62 per share ($0.61 diluted). Net operating income for the year ended December 31, 2015, was $123.4 million or $2.62 per share ($2.59 diluted) or a decrease of $16.2 million, or 11.6 percent, compared to the prior year-end net operating income of $139.6 million or $3.11 per share ($3.07 diluted).

“2015 was a year of change for UMB, with an increased focus on maximizing efficiencies” said Mariner Kemper, chairman and chief executive officer. “Total loan balances increased 26.3 percent from December 31, 2014 to December 31, 2015. Loans produced by legacy UMB lenders increased 13.2 percent during that period, once again outpacing industry averages. During the year, we implemented several organizational changes, and while we have faced some headwinds, we have a lot to be excited about. We have a long-standing track record of strong loan and deposit growth, and our focus on improving metrics will push more of that momentum to the bottom line.”

Net Interest Income and Margin for the Fourth Quarter 2015

Net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2015 increased $23.5 million, or 25.9 percent, compared to the same period in 2014. Net interest margin increased 24 basis points to 2.76 percent for the three months ended December 31, 2015, compared to the same period in 2014.

Average earning assets increased $2.2 billion, or 14.7 percent, compared to the fourth quarter of 2014. This increase was largely due to an increase in average loans of $1.9 billion, or 25.7 percent, and an increase in average total securities, including trading securities, of $217.6 million, or 3.0 percent. The acquisition of Marquette Financial Companies (Marquette) added earning assets with an acquired value of $1.3 billion on May 31, 2015. Acquired Marquette loans and loans originated through the legacy Marquette channels had an actual balance at December 31, 2015 of $1.0 billion.

Noninterest Income and Expense for the Fourth Quarter 2015

Noninterest income decreased $2.6 million, or 2.3 percent, for the three months ended December 31, 2015, compared to the same period in 2014. This decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease in trust and securities processing income of $6.9 million, or 10.0 percent, driven by a $7.9 million, or 41.6 percent, decrease in advisory fee income from the Scout Funds. Equity earnings on alternative investments had an unrealized loss of $5.2 million at December 31, 2015 compared to an unrealized loss of $4.5 million at December 31, 2014. This is a year-over-year change of $0.7 million, or 15.6 percent. Gains on sales of securities increased $1.9 million, and other noninterest income increased $1.5 million, compared to the same period in 2014. The increase in other noninterest income was driven by $1.8 million of income generated from bank-owned life insurance investments purchased in 2015.

Noninterest expense increased $15.7 million, or 9.4 percent, for the three months ended December 31, 2015, compared to the same period in 2014. Salaries and employee benefits expense increased $13.5 million, or 15.0 percent, compared to the same period in 2014,due to an increase in salaries and wages of $8.0 million, or 13.8 percent, an increase in bonus and commission expense of $4.0 million, or 20.6 percent, and an increase in employee benefits expense of $1.5 million, or 11.9 percent. Included in the increase of salaries and employee benefits is $9.0 million of Marquette salaries and benefits, including $0.6 million in Marquette-related severance, and $3.3 million of non-Marquette severance.

Equipment expense increased $2.1 million, or 14.4 percent, compared to the same period in 2014, due to increased computer and hardware costs related to investments for regulatory requirements, cyber security and the ongoing modernization of our core systems. Occupancy expenses increased $1.5 million, or 14.3 percent, and other noninterest expense increased $1.5 million, or 29.8 percent, compared to the same period in 2014. The increase in other noninterest expense was driven by a $1.3 million increase in fair value adjustments on contingent consideration for acquisitions. Supplies and postage decreased $1.1 million, or 20.8 percent, and bankcard expenses decreased $1.5 million, or 22.2 percent, compared to the same period in 2014.

Total acquisition expenses recognized in noninterest expense during the fourth quarter of 2015 totaled $3.4 million primarily related to $0.6 million of severance expense included in salaries and employee benefits and $2.0 million of consulting expense related to core system conversions projects. Total acquisition expenses for the same period in 2014 were $1.9 million, or a comparable quarterly period increase of $1.5 million or 76.5 percent.

Balance Sheet for the Fourth Quarter 2015

Average total assets for the three months ended December 31, 2015 were $18.8 billion compared to $16.2 billion for the same period in 2014, an increase of $2.5 billion, or 15.6 percent. Average earning assets increased $2.2 billion for the period, or 14.7 percent.

Average loan balances for the three months ended December 31, 2015, increased $1.9 billion, or 25.7 percent, to $9.2 billion compared to the same period in 2014. Actual loan balances on December 31, 2015, were $9.4 billion, an increase of $2.0 billion, or 26.3 percent, compared to December 31, 2014. The overall actual loan increase at December 31, 2015 was driven by a $796.5 million, or 42.7 percent, increase in commercial real estate loans, a $391.7 million, or 10.3 percent, increase in commercial loans, a $219.2 million, or 100.0 percent, increase in asset-based loans, a $172.4 million, or 53.9 percent, increase in residential real estate loans, a $160.6 million, or 62.7 percent, increase in construction real estate loans, and a $90.7 million, or 100.0 percent, increase in factoring loans.

A significant driver in the increase in loans was the acquisition of Marquette and its loan portfolio. These acquired Marquette loans and loans originated through the legacy Marquette channels had an actual balance at December 31, 2015 of $1.0 billion. This total includes $325.2 million in commercial real estate loans, $219.2 million in asset-based loans, $111.8 million in construction real estate loans, $90.7 million in factoring loans, $99.6 million in commercial loans, and $99.4 million in residential real estate loans. The remaining increase in loans of $1.0 billion compared to December 31, 2014 is comprised of loans originated through the legacy UMB channels. This increase was primarily driven by an increase in commercial real estate loans of $471.3 million and an increase in commercial loans of $292.1 million.

Nonperforming loans increased to $61.2 million on December 31, 2015, from $27.4 million on December 31, 2014. Nonperforming loans are defined as nonaccrual loans and restructured loans. As a percentage of loans, nonperforming loans increased to 0.65 percent at December 31, 2015, compared to 0.37 percent on December 31, 2014. The company’s allowance for loan losses totaled $81.1 million, or 0.86 percent of loans, at December 31, 2015, compared to $76.1 million, or 1.02 percent of loans, at December 31, 2014.

For the three months ended December 31, 2015, average securities, including trading securities, totaled $7.4 billion. This is an increase of $217.6 million, or 3.0 percent, from the same period in 2014.

Average total deposits increased $2.4 billion, or 18.8 percent, to $15.3 billion for the three months ended December 31, 2015, compared to the same period in 2014. Deposit balances from the legacy Marquette channels totaled $798.6 million at December 31, 2015.

Average noninterest-bearing demand deposits increased $1.3 billion, or 24.6 percent, compared to the same period in 2014. Average interest-bearing deposits increased $1.1 billion, or 14.5 percent, compared to the same period in 2014.

As of December 31, 2015, UMB had total shareholders’ equity of $1.9 billion, an increase of 15.2 percent compared to December 31, 2014. This increase is primarily attributable to the common stock issuance associated with the acquisition of Marquette of $179.7 million at May 31, 2015.

Year Ended December 31, 2015

Earnings for the year ended December 31, 2015, were $116.1 million or $2.46 per share ($2.44 diluted). This is a decrease of $4.6 million, or 3.8 percent, compared to the prior year-end earnings of $120.7 million or $2.69 per share ($2.65 diluted).

Net interest income for the year ended December 31, 2015, increased $62.0 million, or 17.7 percent, compared to the same period in 2014. Average earning assets increased $1.6 billion, or 10.6 percent, compared to the same period in 2014. This increase was due primarily to a $1.4 billion, or 20.8 percent, increase in average loans. Net interest margin increased 15 basis points to 2.64 percent, compared to the same period in 2014.

Noninterest income decreased $32.2 million, or 6.5 percent, to $466.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, compared to the same period in 2014. The decrease in noninterest income was primarily driven by decreased trust and securities processing income of $26.0 million, or 9.0 percent. The decrease in trust and securities processing income was primarily due to a $35.6 million, or 38.9 percent, decrease in advisory fee income from the Scout Funds, partially offset by a $5.3 million, or 5.5 percent, increase in fees related to institutional and personal investment management services, and a $2.9 million, or 3.3 percent, increase in fund administration and custody services. Equity earnings on alternative investments had an unrealized loss of $12.2 million at December 31, 2015 compared to an unrealized gain of $4.0 million at December 31, 2014, resulting in a year-over-year decrease of $16.2 million. These decreases in noninterest income were partially offset by an increase in gains on sales of securities of $6.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to December 31, 2014.

Noninterest expense increased $38.1 million, or 5.7 percent, for the year ended December 31, 2015, compared to the same period in 2014. This increase was driven by an increase in salaries and employee benefits expense of $47.9 million, or 13.4 percent, an increase in equipment expense of $9.9 million, or 18.5 percent, and an increase in legal and consulting expense of $6.0 million, or 29.3 percent. These increases were partially offset by a $20.3 million contingency reserve recorded for the year ended December 31, 2014. Marquette salaries and employee benefits expense, including $2.4 million of Marquette-related severance, totaled $23.2 million and non-Marquette severance totaled $4.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Total acquisition expenses recognized in noninterest expense were $9.8 million during the year-ended December 31, 2015, compared to $1.9 million during the year-ended December 31, 2014.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

In this release, we provide information using net operating income, operating earnings per share (operating EPS), operating return on average equity (operating ROE), operating return on average assets (operating ROA) ,operating noninterest expense, and operating efficiency ratio, all of which are non-GAAP financial measures. This information supplements the results that are reported according to generally accepted accounting principles (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 and operating efficiency ratio—and the 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 acquisition- and severance-related items 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 after-tax impact of excluding the following: (i) the contingency reserve expense related to the acquisition of Prairie Capital Management, LLC, (ii) fair value adjustments to contingent consideration for the acquisitions of Prairie Capital Management, LLC and Reams Asset Management Company, (iii) expenses related to the acquisition of Marquette Financial Companies, and (iv) non-acquisition severance expense. Operating EPS (basic and diluted) is calculated as net operating income, divided by the company’s average number of shares outstanding (basic and diluted) 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-iv above. Operating efficiency ratio is calculated as the company’s operating noninterest expense, less amortization of other intangibles, divided by the company’s tax equivalent net interest income plus noninterest income less gains on sales of securities available for sale.
