GUARANTY BANCSHARES, INC. REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER AND YEAR-END 2019 FINANCIAL RESULTS
Guaranty Bancshares, Inc. (NASDAQ: GNTY), the parent company of Guaranty Bank & Trust, N.A., today reported financial results for the fiscal quarter and year ended December 31, 2019. The company's net income available to common shareholders was $7.4 million, or $0.64 per basic share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2019, compared to $7.5 million, or $0.65 per basic share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 and $6.5 million, or $0.55 per basic share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2018. In addition to increased net income, earnings per basic share during the fourth quarter of 2019 compared to the same period in 2018 were impacted by our repurchase of 352,036 shares of common stock between December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2019. Return on average assets and average equity for the fourth quarter of 2019 were 1.25% and 11.24%, respectively, compared to 1.28% and 11.73%, respectively, for the third quarter of 2019 and 1.15% and 10.67%, respectively, for the fourth quarter of 2018.
"We are very satisfied with our fourth quarter and 2019 financial results. During 2019, strategic initiatives and goals that placed increased emphasis on our financial results led to improvements in our net interest margin for the past two quarters, including 19 basis points year-over-year, and increased return on assets for the year. Loan growth has slowed in recent quarters, primarily due to a few large anticipated payoffs, although new originations remain stable. We are in one of the longest credit cycles in history and believe modest loan growth is prudent to maintain strong asset quality, while continuing to foster new, long-term banking relationships with strong borrowers. In the coming year, we will continue to execute on strategic initiatives that were designed to continue improving shareholder value," commented Ty Abston, the company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
The company’s increase in net earnings in the fourth quarter of 2019, as compared to the fourth quarter of 2018, was primarily attributable to an increase in net interest income, before the provision for loan losses, of $1.6 million and an increase in noninterest income of $512,000. This was partially offset by an increase in noninterest expense of $1.7 million and income tax provision of $100,000. These factors impacting net earnings are discussed in more detail below.
Net interest income, before the provision for loan losses, in the fourth quarter of 2019 and 2018 was $20.5 million and $18.9 million, respectively, an increase of $1.6 million, or 8.7%. Net interest margin, on a taxable equivalent basis, for the fourth quarter of 2019 and 2018 was 3.77% and 3.58%, respectively. Net interest income was positively affected by achieving higher increases in loan yields than for deposit costs. During the period, loan yield increased from 5.25% for the fourth quarter of 2018 to 5.32% for the fourth quarter of 2019, a change of seven basis points, while the cost of interest bearing deposits decreased from 1.44% to 1.35% during the same period, a change of nine basis points. Net interest margin increased from 3.71% in the third quarter of 2019 to 3.77% in the fourth quarter of 2019, primarily due to decreases in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities.
There was no provision for loan losses in the fourth quarter of 2019, compared to $100,000 in the third quarter of 2019 and $500,000 in the fourth quarter of 2018. The provision for loan losses is primarily reflective of minimal net growth during the respective periods, however, a recovery of $487,000 was also received during the second quarter of 2019 from proceeds of a life insurance policy that collateralized a loan that was charged-off several years ago, thus reducing the need for additional provision in the third and fourth quarter of 2019. Nonperforming assets as a percentage of total loans were 0.72% at December 31, 2019, compared to 0.69% at September 30, 2019, and 0.46% at December 31, 2018. Our nonperforming assets consist primarily of nonaccrual loans, three of which are Small Business Administration (SBA) partially guaranteed loans with combined book balances of $5.6 million as of December 31, 2019 that were acquired in the acquisition of Westbound Bank in June 2018. Management is currently in the process of working with these borrowers to effectuate a plan which would allow for these loans to return to a performing status. Excluding these partially guaranteed SBA loans, non-performing assets as a percentage of total loans at December 31, 2019 would be 0.39%.
Noninterest income increased $512,000, or 12.3%, in the fourth quarter of 2019, to $4.7 million, compared to $4.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2018. The increase from the same quarter in 2018 was due primarily to an increase in the gain on sales of loans of $343,000, or 78.5%, an increase of $135,000, or 13.4%, in merchant and debit card fees, a $62,000, or 40.1%, increase in bank-owned life insurance income and an $83,000, or 8.8%, increase in service charges during the fourth quarter of 2019. These increases were partially offset be a decrease in other noninterest income of $184,000, or 16.7% from the fourth quarter of 2018.
Noninterest income increased $69,000, or 1.5%, to $4.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2019, compared to $4.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2019. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in other noninterest income of $135,000, or 17.3%, increases in service charges and merchant and debit card fees of $44,000 each, or 4.5% and 4.0%, respectively, and were partially offset by decreases in the gain on sale of loans of $130,000, or 14.3%, and bank-owned life insurance income of $33,000, or 13.4%, from the previous quarter.
Noninterest expense increased $1.7 million, or 11.6%, in the fourth quarter of 2019, compared to the fourth quarter of 2018. The increase in noninterest expense in the fourth quarter of 2019 was primarily driven by an increase in employee compensation and benefits expense to $9.3 million, a change of $933,000, or 11.1%, from the same quarter of the prior year due to annual salary increases and 13 employees added to support operational growth, as well as a new location in the Houston MSA. Occupancy expenses also increased $187,000, or 8.1%, from $2.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2018, to $2.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. The increase in occupancy expense from the fourth quarter of 2018 resulted primarily from the addition of the new Houston location, as well as relocating into our new corporate offices in Addison, Texas. Software and technology expenses increased by $249,000, or 38.1% compared to the same quarter of the prior year resulting from new software investments to improve online deposit account opening. These increases in noninterest expense were partially offset by a decrease in FDIC insurance assessment fees of $146,000, or 100%, and a decrease in director and committee fees of $39,000, or 17.2%, compared to the same quarter of the prior year. The company’s efficiency ratio in the fourth quarter of 2019 was 64.49%, compared to 63.16% in the same quarter last year.
Noninterest expense increased $802,000, or 5.2%, in the fourth quarter of 2019 to $16.2 million, compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2019. The increase was primarily due to a $436,000, or 4.9% increase in employee compensation and benefits, which included the effect of annual salary increases that occurred during the fourth quarter, as well as additional accrued expense incurred under the Company’s incentive compensation bonus plan. During the fourth quarter, there was a $184,000, or 54.3%, increase in advertising and promotions and a $146,000, or 47.1%, increase in ATM and debit card expense. This was partially offset by a $75,000, or 10.9%, decrease in legal and professional fees from the previous quarter. The company’s efficiency ratio in the fourth quarter of 2019 was 64.49%, compared to 62.49% in the prior quarter.
Consolidated assets for the company totaled $2.32 billion at December 31, 2019 and $2.33 billion at September 30, 2019, compared to $2.27 billion at December 31, 2018. Gross loans decreased 1.7%, or $30.0 million, to $1.71 billion at December 31, 2019, compared to loans of $1.74 billion at September 30, 2019. Gross loans increased 2.8%, or $46.9 million, from $1.66 billion at December 31, 2018. The decrease in gross loans from the third to fourth quarter of 2019 was effected by the payoff during the fourth quarter of three large participation purchased relationships from other banks that had book balances of approximately $43.4 million. New loan originations during the fourth quarter of 2019 were $167.9 million, of which $124.6 million was funded on the origination date, compared to new loan originations in the third quarter of $215.4 million, of which $142.1 million was funded on the origination date. Deposits decreased by 0.3%, or $6.5 million, to $1.96 billion at December 31, 2019, compared to $1.96 billion at September 30, 2019. Total deposits increased 4.6%, or $85.3 million, from $1.87 billion at December 31, 2018. Changes in gross loans and deposits during these periods resulted from regular fluctuations in customer loan and deposit account balances or from organic growth. Shareholders' equity totaled $261.6 million as of December 31, 2019, compared to $255.9 million at September 30, 2019 and $244.6 million at December 31, 2018. The increase from the previous quarter and from the fourth quarter of 2018 resulted primarily from increases in operating earnings, partially offset by the repurchase of common stock and payment of dividends during the periods.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Certain of the financial measures and ratios we present, including “tangible book value per share” are supplemental measures that are not required by, or are not presented in accordance with, U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). We refer to these financial measures and ratios as “non-GAAP financial measures.” We consider the use of select non-GAAP financial measures and ratios to be useful for financial and operational decision making and useful in evaluating period-to-period comparisons. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by excluding certain expenditures or assets that we believe are not indicative of our primary business operating results or by presenting certain metrics on a fully taxable equivalent basis. We believe that management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our performance and when planning, forecasting, analyzing and comparing past, present and future periods.
These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP and you should not rely on non-GAAP financial measures alone as measures of our performance. The non-GAAP financial measures we present may differ from non-GAAP financial measures used by our peers or other companies. We compensate for these limitations by providing the equivalent GAAP measures whenever we present the non-GAAP financial measures and by including a reconciliation of the impact of the components adjusted for in the non-GAAP financial measure so that both measures and the individual components may be considered when analyzing our performance.
A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures is included at the end of the financial statement tables.
