CapStar Financial Holdings, Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2018 Results

NASHVILLE, Tenn., July 26, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CapStar Financial Holdings, Inc. (“CapStar”) (NASDAQ:CSTR) reported net income of $3.5 million, or $0.27 per share on a fully diluted basis, for the three months ended June 30, 2018, compared to a net loss of $3.3 million, or ($0.26) per share on a fully diluted basis, for the three months ended June 30, 2017. Net income for the six months ending June 30, 2018 was $6.7 million, or $0.52 per share on a fully diluted basis, compared to a net loss of $3.0 million, or ($0.24) per share on a fully diluted basis, for the six months ended June 30, 2017.

“Our associates followed up on our strong first quarter with a number of accomplishments during the second quarter that continue to demonstrate our focus on delivering sound, profitable growth for our shareholders,” said Claire W. Tucker, CapStar’s president and chief executive officer. “Excluding merger-related charges, operating net income⁽¹⁾ was $3.8 million, or $0.29 per share on a fully diluted basis, for the three months ended June 30, 2018.”

Soundness

The allowance for loan losses represented 1.41% of total loans at June 30, 2018 compared to 1.25% at June 30, 2017.

Non-performing assets as a percentage of total loans and other real estate owned was 0.52% at June 30, 2018 compared to 0.32% at June 30, 2017.

Annualized net charge-offs (recoveries) to average loans was 0.01% for the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to 4.38% for the same period in 2017.

The total risk based capital ratio was 12.45% at June 30, 2018 compared to 11.51% at June 30, 2017.

Profitability

Operating measures exclude merger-related expenses unrelated to CapStar’s normal operations. CapStar believes these measures are useful to investors as they exclude certain costs resulting from acquisition activity and allow investors to more clearly see the economic results of the organization's operations.

Operating return on average assets ("ROAA") for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was 1.08% compared to -0.96% for the same period in 2017.

Operating return on average tangible equity ("ROATE") for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was 10.4% compared to -9.8% for the same period in 2017.

The net interest margin (“NIM”) for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was 3.46% compared to 3.20% for the same period in 2017.

Operating efficiency ratio for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was 67.4% compared to 62.1% for the same period in 2017.

“Excluding merger-related expenses, our operating results were in line with our expectations. Delivering a 1.08% Operating ROAA in the second quarter is a step in the right direction towards improving our profitability profile,” said Rob Anderson, chief financial officer and chief administrative officer of CapStar.

(1) For a reconciliation of the non-GAAP operating measures that exclude merger-related costs unrelated to CapStar’s normal operations, see the non-GAAP financial measures section of this document.

Growth

Average gross loans for the quarter ended June 30, 2018 increased 1.3%, to $1.04 billion, compared to $1.03 billion for the same period in 2017.

Average demand deposits for the quarter ended June 30, 2018 increased 3.6%, to $237.3 million, compared to $229.1 million for the same period in 2017.

Average total assets for the quarter ended June 30, 2018 increased 0.2%, to $1.40 billion, compared to $1.39 billion for the same period in 2017.

Merger Update

In addition, as announced on June 11, 2018, CapStar entered into a definitive merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) with Athens Bancshares Corporation (“Athens”). The Merger Agreement provides that Athens will merge with and into CapStar (the “Merger”), with CapStar as the surviving entity in the Merger and that, after the Merger, Athens’ wholly owned bank subsidiary, Athens Federal Community Bank, National Association, will merge with and into CapStar’s wholly owned bank subsidiary, CapStar Bank (the “Bank Merger,” together with the Merger, the “Mergers”), with CapStar Bank as the surviving entity in the Bank Merger.

The Merger Agreement was unanimously approved by the board of directors of each of CapStar and Athens. In the Merger, Athens shareholders will receive 2.864 shares of CapStar common stock for each share of Athens common stock. The all-stock transaction is valued at approximately $113.5 million based on the closing price of CapStar common stock on June 11, 2018.

Athens operates 10 locations in Southeast Tennessee. As of June 30, 2018, Athens had approximately $474 million in total assets, which included approximately $338 million in total loans, and approximately $412 million in total deposits.

CapStar expects to complete the Mergers in the fourth quarter of 2018. However, CapStar can provide no assurances of when or if the Mergers will be completed. CapStar must first obtain the approval of CapStar shareholders and Athens shareholders for the Mergers, as well as obtain necessary regulatory approvals and satisfy certain other closing conditions.

“We believe the second quarter financial results reported by Athens earlier this week support our confidence in the merits of this combination and the value creation potential for all of our shareholders,” said Claire W. Tucker, CapStar’s president and chief executive officer.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements in this earnings release are forward-looking statements that reflect CapStar’s current views with respect to, among other things, future events, including, without limitation, the terms, timing and closing of the proposed Mergers and CapStar’s financial and operational performance. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “predict,” “potential,” “believe,” “will likely result,” “expect,” “continue,” “will,” “anticipate,” “seek,” “aspire,” “achieve,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” “projection,” “forecast,” “roadmap,” “goal,” “guidance”, “target,” “would,” and “outlook,” or the negative version of those words or other comparable words of a future or forward-looking nature. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, and are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about CapStar’s industry, management’s beliefs and certain assumptions made by management, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and beyond CapStar’s control. The inclusion of these forward-looking statements should not be regarded as a representation by CapStar or any other person that such expectations, estimates and projections will be achieved. Accordingly, CapStar cautions you that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, assumptions and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. Although CapStar believes that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable as of the date made, actual results may prove to be materially different from the results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. There are or will be important factors that could cause CapStar’s actual results to differ materially from those indicated in these forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, any factors identified in this earnings release as well as those factors that are detailed from time to time in CapStar’s periodic and current reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including those factors included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 under the headings “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements” and in the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K. If one or more events related to these or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or if CapStar’s underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may differ materially from our forward-looking statements. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of this earnings release, and CapStar does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as required by law. New risks and uncertainties may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for CapStar to predict their occurrence or how they will affect CapStar.

These non-GAAP financial measures (i) provide useful information to management and investors that is supplementary to CapStar’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows computed in accordance with GAAP, (ii) enable a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting CapStar’s business, and (iii) allow investors to evaluate CapStar’s performance in a manner similar to management, the financial services industry, bank stock analysts and bank regulators; however, CapStar acknowledges that these non-GAAP financial measures have a number of limitations. As such, you should not view these non-GAAP financial measures as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP, and they are not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP financial measures that other companies use.
