CARMEL, Indiana – (PR Newswire) - Merchants Bancorp (the “Company” or “Merchants”) (Nasdaq: MBIN), parent company of Merchants Bank of Indiana, today reported fourth quarter 2019 net income of $30.1 million, or $0.92 per common share. This compared to $15.4 million, or $0.51 per common share, in the fourth quarter of 2018 and $20.3 million, or $0.60 per common share, in the third quarter of 2019.
The 95% increase in net income for the fourth quarter 2019 compared to the fourth quarter of 2018 was primarily driven by a 56% increase in net interest income that reflected significant growth in mortgage warehouse loans, and a 31% increase in gain on sale of loans from significantly higher growth in multi-family loans.
The 48% increase in net income for the fourth quarter 2019 compared to the third quarter of 2019 was primarily driven by an 85% increase in gain on sale of loans from the multi-family business as well as a 15% increase in net interest income that benefited from 10% higher average loan balances and a 9 basis point increase in net interest margin.
“On many fronts, 2019 was an exceptional year at Merchants for record-setting results, as we grew total assets by 64%, raised over $171 million in net new capital, grew net income by 23%, and grew earnings per common share by 14%, compared to 2018. The robust increases were fueled by significant growth in mortgage warehouse and multi-family loans, while we also maintained our reputation for high credit quality metrics and conservatively managed our expenses. We continue to demonstrate that our business model, with its complementary portfolio of businesses, allows us to operate profitably across various interest rate environments and sets us apart from many of our peers,” said Michael F. Petrie, Chairman and CEO of Merchants. “As we move into 2020 with a top-notch team in place, I am optimistic that our model will continue to meet customer and community needs, which will lead us to achieve our growth and profit goals that will provide enhanced shareholder value,” added Petrie.
Total Assets
Total assets of $6.4 billion at December 31, 2019 increased $2.5 billion, or 64%, compared to $3.9 billion at December 31, 2018 and increased $34.7 million, or 1%, compared to September 30, 2019.
The increase compared to December 31, 2018 was primarily due to growth in loans held for sale and net loans receivable, which increased a combined total of $2.2 billion. The increase reflected the significant loan growth generated from mortgage warehouse business, primarily resulting from lower interest rates that increased the origination volume and refinancing in the single-family mortgage market, as well as higher loan volume generated in multi-family business.
Return on average assets was 1.81% for the fourth quarter of 2019 compared to 1.61% for the fourth quarter of 2018 and 1.35% for the third quarter of 2019.
Asset Quality
The allowance for loan losses of $15.8 million at December 31, 2019 increased $3.1 million compared to December 31, 2018 and increased $2.1 million compared to September 30, 2019, primarily reflecting increases associated with loan growth. Non-performing loans were $4.7 million, or 0.15% of total loans at December 31, 2019, compared to $2.4 million, or 0.12% of total loans at December 31, 2018 and compared to $6.1 million, or 0.22% of total loans at September 30, 2019.

Total Deposits
Total deposits of $5.5 billion at December 31, 2019 increased $2.2 billion, or 70%, compared to December 31, 2018 and decreased $21.6 million, compared to September 30, 2019.
The 70% increase in deposits compared to December 31, 2018 was primarily due to higher brokered certificates of deposits to support the significant growth in loans and to match their expected duration. Total brokered deposits increased $1.2 billion, to $2.2 billion at December 31, 2019 from $988.2 million at December 31, 2018. Brokered deposits represented 39% of total deposits at December 31, 2019 compared to 31% of total deposits at December 31, 2018.
The modest decrease in deposits compared to September 30, 2019 was primarily due to the reduced need for brokered certificates of deposits, matching the decrease in loans held for sale. Total brokered deposits of $2.2 billion at December 31, 2019 decreased $108.0 million from $2.3 billion at September 30, 2019. Brokered deposits represented 39% of total deposits at December 31, 2019 compared to 41% of total deposits at September 30, 2019.
The Company increased its borrowing capacity, with unused lines of credit increasing from $634.6 million at September 30, 2019 to $1.5 billion at December 31, 2019. This increase in liquidity further enhances the ability to effectively manage interest expense and assets levels in the future.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income of $37.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2019 increased $13.5 million, or 56%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2018 and increased $5.0 million, or 15%, compared to the third quarter of 2019.
The 56% increase in net interest income compared to the fourth quarter of 2018 reflected significantly higher loan growth that offset lower margins. The interest rate spread of 2.07% for the fourth quarter of 2019 decreased 21 basis points compared to 2.28% in the fourth quarter of 2018. The net interest margin of 2.31% for the fourth quarter of 2019 declined 29 basis points compared to 2.60% for the fourth quarter of 2018. The decline in net interest margin compared to the fourth quarter of 2018 reflected the flattening and inversion of the yield curve, and reflects the shift in business mix to a higher concentration of warehouse loans that typically are funded for a shorter duration and earn interest based on longer term rates. Profitability in this business, which also includes fees classified as noninterest income, made the most significant contribution to net income for the fourth quarter of 2019.

The 15% increase in net interest income compared to the third quarter of 2019 reflected an interest rate spread of 2.07% that increased 9 basis points compared to 1.98% in the third quarter of 2019.
The net interest margin of 2.31% for the fourth quarter of 2019 also increased 9 basis points compared to 2.22% for the third quarter of 2019.
Interest Income
Interest income of $63.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2019 increased $24.0 million, or 60%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2018 and increased $4.0 million, or 7%, compared to the third quarter of 2019. The increases for both periods were primarily due to loan growth.
The 60% increase in interest income compared to the fourth quarter of 2018 reflected a $2.5 billion, or 89%, increase in the average balance of loans, including loans held for sale, which reached $5.2 billion for the fourth quarter of 2019. The average yield on loans and loans held for sale of 4.35% for the fourth quarter of 2019 decreased 58 basis points compared to 4.93% for the fourth quarter of 2018. The decline in average yields reflected the higher concentration of warehouse loans for the fourth quarter of 2019.
The 7% increase in interest income compared to the third quarter of 2019 reflected a $463.8 million, or 10%, increase in the average balance of loans, including loans held for sale, which reached $5.2 billion for the fourth quarter of 2019. The average yield on loans and loans held for sale of 4.35% for the fourth quarter of 2019 decreased 9 basis points compared to 4.44% for the third quarter of 2019.
Interest Expense
Total interest expense of $26.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2019 increased $10.5 million, or 67%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2018 and decreased $1.0 million, or 4%, compared to the third quarter of 2019. Interest expense on deposits of $25.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2019 increased $11.3 million, or 82%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2018 and decreased $1.0 million, or 4%, compared to the third quarter of 2019.
The 82% increase in interest expense on deposits compared to the fourth quarter of 2018 was primarily due to the higher volume of custodial interest-bearing checking and brokered certificates of deposits. The average balance of interest-bearing deposits of $5.6 billion for the fourth quarter of 2019 increased $2.6 billion, or 85%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2018. The average cost of interest-bearing deposits was 1.78% for the fourth quarter of 2019, which was a 3 basis point decrease compared to 1.81% for the fourth quarter of 2018.

The 4% decrease in interest expense on deposits compared to the third quarter of 2019 was primarily due to lower costs of deposits. The average cost of interest-bearing deposits was 1.78% for the fourth quarter of 2019, which was a 24 basis point decrease compared to 2.02% in the third quarter of 2019. The average balance of interest-bearing deposits of $5.6 billion for the fourth quarter of 2019 increased $466.9 million, or 9%, compared to the third quarter of 2019.

The 54% increase in noninterest income compared to the fourth quarter of 2018 was primarily due to a $3.6 million increase in gain on sale of loans and a $2.0 million increase in mortgage warehouse fees, reflecting the significant loan growth for these lines of business.

The 16% increase in noninterest expense compared to the fourth quarter of 2018 was due primarily to a $1.1 million, or 410%, increase in deposit insurance related to the growth in deposits and assets and a $1.1 million increase in occupancy and equipment costs associated with the Company’s move to its new corporate headquarters.

The increase in salaries and employee benefits was primarily due to the addition of new employees to support business growth, along with higher commission expense associated with higher loan growth during the fourth quarter of 2019. The efficiency ratio of 31.2% for the fourth quarter of 2019 compared to 35.7% for the third quarter of 2019.

(1) Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Certain non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to management and investors that is supplementary to the company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows computed in accordance with GAAP; however, they do have a number of limitations. As such, the reader should not view these disclosures 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. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures is below. Net Income Available to Common Shareholders excludes preferred stock. Tangible common equity is calculated by excluding the balance of goodwill and other intangible assets and preferred stock from the calculation of total assets. Tangible Assets is calculated by excluding the balance of goodwill and intangible assets. Tangible book value per share is calculated by dividing tangible common equity by the number of shares outstanding.
