BofI Holding's (BOFI) Q4 Earnings Lag on Higher Provisions
Read MoreHide Full Article
BofI Holding, Inc. reported a negative earnings surprise of around 4.9% in fourth-quarter fiscal 2018 (ended Jun 30). Earnings per share of 58 cents lagged the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 3 cents. However, results compare favorably with the year-ago figure of 50 cents.
Higher expenses and provisions were on the downside. Nonetheless, organic growth was recorded, with significant rise in loans and deposit balances. Moreover, strong capital position was witnessed.
Net income attributable to common stockholders came in at $37 million compared with $32.5 million reported in the prior-year quarter.
For fiscal 2018, earnings per share came in at $2.36 per share comparing favorably with the year-ago earnings of $2.07 per share. Yet, the reported tally lagged the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.51. Net income available to common shareholders was $152.1 million, up 13.2% year over year.
Revenues Rise, Loans & Deposits Go Up, Costs Escalate
For fiscal 2018, the company reported net revenues of $439.4 million, up 15.2% year over year. However, the figure missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $443.3 million.
Total revenues (net of interest expense) jumped 13% year over year to $104 million in the quarter, driven by higher interest and dividend income, along with non-interest income. Yet, revenues were below the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $107.8 million.
BofI Holding’s net interest income was $87 million, up 10.9% year over year, mainly due to rise in average-earning assets. Nonetheless, net interest margin contracted 9 basis points (bps) year over year to 3.71%.
The company’s non-interest income advanced 25.9% year over year to $17 million. The rise primarily stemmed from increase in banking service fees and other income. These were partially offset by lower mortgage banking income and reduced realized gain on sales of securities.
However, non-interest expenses flared up 38.1% year over year to $49.7 million. This mainly resulted from a rise in almost all components of expenses.
As of Jun 30, 2018, total loans rose 13.5% year over year to $8.4 billion, while deposits climbed 15.9% year over year to $8 billion.
Credit Quality: A Concern
During the reported quarter, credit metrics deteriorated. As of Jun 30, 2018, net annualized charge-offs to average loans and leases was 0.70%, up 50 bps year over year. Non-performing assets to total assets was 0.43%, up 8 bps.
Allowance for loan and lease losses to total loans and leases at the end of the period were 0.58%, up 3 bps. Provision for loan losses was $3.9 million compared with 0.2 million in the year-ago quarter.
Steady Capital and Profitability Ratios
The company’s capital ratios demonstrated a steady position. As of Jun 30, 2018, return on average equity was 17.05%, and return on average assets was 1.68% compared with 17.78% and 1.68%, respectively, recorded in the comparable quarter last year.
Tier 1 Capital ratio came in at 13.34% compared with 14.75% in the year-earlier quarter. Total capital ratio was 14.84% compared with 16.38% reported in the prior-year quarter. Common equity Tier 1 capital ratio was 13.27%, down from 14.66% as of Jun 30, 2017.
Stockholders’ equity was up 15.1% year over year to $960.5 million as of Jun 30, 2018. The uptrend chiefly allied with retention of net income.
Our Viewpoint
BofI Holding’s improved top line and a better balance sheet during the June-end quarter impress us. Nevertheless, uncertain economic situation might hurt the company’s performance in the future. Though its inability to control expenses and deteriorating credit quality may hamper near-term profitability, improvement in loans and deposit balances remains a favorable factor.
