OLD LINE BANCSHARES INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Organization and Description of Business - Old Line Bancshares, Inc. (“Old Line Bancshares”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Maryland on April 11, 2003 to serve as the holding company of Old Line Bank. The primary business of Old Line Bancshares is to own all of the capital stock of Old Line Bank. We provide a full range of banking services to customers located in Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Baltimore City, Calvert, Carroll, Charles, Frederick, Harford, Howard, Montgomery, Prince George’s, and St. Mary’s Counties in Maryland and surrounding areas.

 

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation - The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the activity of Old Line Bancshares and its wholly owned subsidiary, Old Line Bank, and its wholly-owned subsidiary Pointer Ridge Office Investments, LLC (“Pointer Ridge”), a real estate investment company. We have eliminated all significant intercompany transactions and balances.

 

The foregoing consolidated financial statements for the periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”), however, in the opinion of management we have included all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim period. We derived the balances as of December 31, 2017 from audited financial statements. These statements should be read in conjunction with Old Line Bancshares’ financial statements and accompanying notes included in Old Line Bancshares’ Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. We have made no significant changes to Old Line Bancshares’ accounting policies as disclosed in the Form 10-K, except as described in the Recent Accounting Pronouncements section below.

 

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. These estimates and assumptions may affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. A material estimate that is particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relates to the determination of the allowance for loan losses.

 

Revenue from Contracts with Customers - Old Line Bancshares records revenue from contracts with customers in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“Topic 606”). Under Topic 606, we must identify the contract with a customer, identify the performance obligations in the contract, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy a performance obligation. Significant revenue has not been recognized in the current reporting period that results from performance obligations satisfied in previous periods.

 

Our primary sources of revenue are derived from interest and dividends earned on loans, investment securities, and other financial instruments that are not within the scope of Topic 606. We have evaluated the nature of Old Line Bancshares’ contracts with customers and determined that further disaggregation of revenue from contracts with customers into more granular categories beyond what is presented in the Consolidated Statements of Income was not necessary. Old Line Bancshares generally fully satisfies its performance obligations on its contracts with customers as services are rendered and the transaction prices are typically fixed; charged either on a periodic basis or based on activity. Because performance obligations are satisfied as services are rendered and the transaction prices are fixed, there is little judgment involved in applying Topic 606 that significantly affects the determination of the amount and timing of revenue from contracts with customers.

 

Reclassifications - We have made certain reclassifications to the 2017 financial presentation to conform to the 2018 presentation. These reclassifications did not change net income or stockholders’ equity.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements – In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers , which will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principal of this ASU is that an entity should recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. The ASU allows for either full retrospective or modified retrospective adoption. The ASU does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments, including loans and securities that are accounted for under U.S. GAAP. Our revenue is comprised of net interest income on financial assets and liabilities, which is explicitly excluded from the scope of the new guidance, and non-interest income. The contracts that are within scope of the guidance are primarily related to service charges on deposit accounts, cardholder and merchant income, wealth advisory services income, other service charges and fees, sales of other real estate owned, insurance commissions and miscellaneous fees. Old Line Bancshares adopted the ASU on January 1, 2018, utilizing the modified retrospective approach. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations .

 

In January 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01 , Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Liabilities, which is intended to improve the recognition and measurement of financial instruments by: requiring equity investments (other than equity method or consolidation) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income; requiring public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; requiring separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (i.e., securities or loans and receivables) on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements; eliminating the requirement to disclose the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost for organizations that are not public business entities; eliminating the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet; and requiring a reporting organization to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk (also referred to as “own credit”) when the organization has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments. This ASU is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We adopted this ASU effective January 1, 2018. With the adoption of this ASU, equity securities can no longer be classified as available for sale, and as such marketable equity securities are disclosed as a separate line item on the balance sheet with changes in the fair value of equity securities reflected in net income. During the first quarter of 2018, we began using an exit price notion when measuring the fair value of our loan portfolio, excluding loans held for sale, for disclosure purposes. The adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In February 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-02 , Leases (Topic 842 ). FASB issued this ASU to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under current U.S. GAAP and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early application of this ASU is permitted for all entities. This ASU will be effective for us in our first quarter of 2019. Old Line Bancshares is currently assessing the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on its financial condition and results of operations and will closely monitor any new developments or additional guidance to determine the potential impact the new standard will have on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In June 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-13 , Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments , which sets forth a “current expected credit loss” (“CECL”) model requiring Old Line Bancshares to measure all expected credit losses for financial instruments held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost and applies to some off-balance sheet credit exposures. For public business entities that are U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filers, the amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Old Line Bancshares has constituted a committee that has the responsibility to gather loan information and consider acceptable methodologies to comply with this ASU. The committee meets periodically to discuss the latest developments and committee members keep themselves updated on such developments via webcasts, publications, and conferences. We have also evaluated and selected a third party vendor solution to assist us in the application of ASU 2016-13. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 is likely to result in an increase in the allowance for loan losses as a result of changing from an “incurred loss” model, which encompasses allowances for current known and inherent losses within the portfolio, to an “expected loss” model, which encompasses allowances for losses expected to be incurred over the life of the portfolio. Furthermore, ASU 2016-13 will necessitate that we establish an allowance for expected credit losses on debt securities. Old Line Bancshares’ evaluation indicates that the provisions of ASU No. 2016-13 will impact its consolidated financial statements, in particular the level of the reserve for loan losses. We are, however, continuing to evaluate the extent of the potential impact.

In August 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-15 , Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230 ): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments , to address diversity in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows.  The amendments provide guidance on the following nine specific cash flow issues:  1) debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs; 2) settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing; 3) contingent consideration payments made after a business combination; 4) proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims; 5) proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, including bank-owned; 6) life insurance policies; 7) distributions received from equity method investees; 8) beneficial interests in securitization transactions; and 9) separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle.  The ASU is effective for all annual and interim periods beginning January 1, 2018 and is required to be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. We adopted this guidance January 1, 2018, which did not result in a change in the classification in the statement of cash flows and did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or on our financial position or results of operations.

 

In January 2017, FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805) : Clarifying the definition of a business , which clarifies the definition of a business and assists entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. Under this guidance, when substantially all of the fair value of gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single asset (or group of similar assets), the assets acquired would not represent a business. In addition, in order to be considered a business, an acquisition would have to include at a minimum an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create an output. The guidance also narrows the definition of outputs by more closely aligning it with how outputs are described in FASB guidance for revenue recognition. We adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2018. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In January 2017, FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which removes the requirement to compare the implied fair value of goodwill with its carrying amount as part of step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. As a result, under the ASU, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The ASU is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. Old Line Bancshares does not expect the adoption of ASU 2017-04 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

11

In March 2017, FASB issued ASU No. 2017-08, Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities . This ASU shortens the amortization period for the premium on certain purchased callable debt securities to the earliest call date. Today, entities generally amortize the premium over the contractual life of the security. The new guidance does not change the accounting for purchased callable debt securities held at a discount; the discount continues to be amortized to maturity. ASU No. 2017-08 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018; early adoption is permitted. The guidance calls for a modified retrospective transition approach under which a cumulative-effect adjustment will be made to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on Old Line Bancshares’ consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2017, FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities . This ASU’s objectives are to: (1) improve the transparency and understandability of information conveyed to financial statement users about an entity’s risk management activities by better aligning the entity’s financial reporting for hedging relationships with those risk management activities; and (2) reduce the complexity of and simplify the application of hedge accounting by preparers. ASU No. 2017-12 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018; early adoption is permitted. Old Line Bancshares currently does not designate any derivative financial instruments as formal hedging relationships, and therefore, does not utilize hedge accounting. However, Old Line Bancshares is currently evaluating this ASU to determine whether its provisions will enhance its ability to employ risk management strategies, while improving the transparency and understanding of those strategies for financial statement users.

 

In February 2018, FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Topic 220). This ASU allows an entity to elect a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that changed our income tax rate from 35% to 21%. The amount of that reclassification should include the effect of changes of tax rate on the deferred tax amount, any related valuation allowance and other income tax effects on the items in AOCI. The ASU requires an entity to state if an election to reclassify the tax effect to retained earnings is made along with the description of other income tax effects that are reclassified from AOCI. ASU 2018-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years with early adoption permitted. Old Line Bancshares adopted ASU 2018-02 in the first quarter of 2018. The change in accounting principal was accounted for as a cumulative effect adjustment to the balance sheet resulting in a reclass of $459,973 thousand from AOCI to retained earnings during the first quarter of 2018.

 

2. ACQUISITION OF BAY BANCORP, INC.

 

On April 13, 2018, Old Line Bancshares acquired Bay Bancorp, Inc. (“BYBK”), the parent company of Bay Bank, FSB (“Bay Bank”). Upon the consummation of the merger, each share of common stock of BYBK outstanding immediately before the merger was converted into the right to receive 0.4088 shares of Old Line Bancshares’ common stock, provided that cash was paid in lieu of any fractional shares of Old Line Bancshares common stock. As a result, Old Line Bancshares issued 4,408,087 shares of its common stock in exchange for the shares of BYBK common stock in the merger. The aggregate merger consideration was approximately $143.6 million based on the closing sales price of Old Line Bancshares’ common stock on April 13, 2018.

 

In connection with the merger, Bay Bank merged with and into Old Line Bank, with Old Line Bank the surviving bank.

 

At April 13, 2018, BYBK had consolidated assets of approximately $663 million. This merger added eleven banking locations located in BYBK’s primary market areas of Baltimore City and Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Howard and Harford Counties in Maryland.

 

The BYBK transaction was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting and, accordingly, assets acquired, liabilities assumed and consideration exchanged were recorded at estimated fair value on the acquisition date. Management made significant estimates and exercised significant judgment in accounting for the acquisition of BYBK. Management judgmentally assigned risk ratings to loans based on appraisals and estimated collateral values, expected cash flows, prepayment speeds and estimated loss factors to measure fair value for loans. Management used quoted or current market prices to determine the fair value of BYBK’s investment securities.

 

Fair values are preliminary and subject to refinement for up to a year after the closing date of the acquisition for new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date.

Comparative and Pro Forma Financial Information for the BYBK Acquisition

 

The adjusted result of the Company for the periods ended June 30, 2018, include the adjusted results of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities since the acquisition date of April 13, 2018. Merger-related expenses of $7.1 million are recorded in the consolidated statement of income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018; and include costs related to the conversion of systems, termination of contracts, branch closures and severance cost.

 

The following table discloses the impact of the merger wth BYBK (excluding the impact of the merger-related expenses) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018. The table also presents certain pro forma information as if BYBK had been acquired on January 1, 2018. These results combine the historical results of BYBK into our consolidate statement of income and, while certain adjustments were made for the estimated impact of certain fiar value adjustments and other acquisition related activity, they are not indicative of what would have occurred had the acquisition taken place on January 1, 2018.

 

Merger-related expenses of $7.1 million were incurred for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and were excluded from the pro forma information below. In addition, no adjustments have been made to the pro formas to eliminate the provision for loans losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 of BYBK in the amount of $300 thousand. No adjustments were made to reduce the impact of any OREO write downs, investment securities sold or repayment of borrowings recognized by BYBK in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018. Expenses related to conversion, contract cancellation and personnel are expected to continue to be recorded in the third quarter of 2018 for the BYBK merger. The company expects to achieve operating costs savings as a result of the acquisitions which are not reflected in the pro forma amounts below:

At June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we had 120 and 56 investment securities, respectively, in an unrealized loss position for 12 months or more and 75 and 56 securities, respectively, in an unrealized loss position for less than 12 months.  We consider all unrealized losses on securities as of June 30, 2018 to be temporary losses because we will redeem each security at face value at or prior to maturity. We have the ability and intent to hold these securities until recovery or maturity. As of June 30, 2018, we do not have the intent to sell any of the securities classified as available for sale and believe that it is more likely than not that we will not have to sell any such securities before a recovery of cost. In most cases, market interest rate fluctuations cause a temporary impairment in value. We expect the fair value to recover as the investments approach their maturity date or re-pricing date or if market yields for these investments decline. We do not believe that credit quality caused the impairment in any of these securities. Because we believe these impairments are temporary, we have not realized any loss in our consolidated statement of income.

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2018, we received $57.0 million in proceeds from sales, maturities or calls of and principal pay-downs on investment securities. The net proceeds of these transactions were used to reduce our Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (“FHLB”) borrowings and fund loan growth. We acquired a total of $55.8 million of investment securities as a result of the BYBK merger. The securities sold included $51.7 million of securities that we acquired in the BYBK merger and sold immediately after the closing of the merger, resulting in no gain or loss on such sales. During the three months ended June 30, 2017, we received $19.3 million in proceeds from sales, maturities or calls of and principal pay-downs on investment securities and realized gains of $148 thousand and realized losses of $129 thousand for a net gain of $20 thousand. The net proceeds of these transactions were used to purchase new investment securities.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2018, we received $63.2 million in proceeds from sales, maturities or calls of and principal pay-downs on investment securities. As with the three month period, the securities sold included $51.7 million of securities that we acquired in the BYBK merger and sold immediately after the closing of the merger, resulting in no gain or loss on such sales. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we received $27.7 million in proceeds from sales, maturities or calls of and principal pay-downs on investment securities and realized gains of $164 thousand and realized losses of $129 thousand for total realized net gain of $35 thousand. The net proceeds of these transactions were used to re-balance the investment portfolio, which resulted in an overall slightly higher yield on our security investments.

Contractual maturities and pledged securities at June 30, 2018 are shown below. Actual maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without prepayment penalties. We classify mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) based on maturity date. However, we receive payments on a monthly basis.

(1) As a result of the acquisitions of Maryland Bankcorp, Inc. (“Maryland Bankcorp”), the parent company of Maryland Bank & Trust Company, N.A. (“MB&T”), in April 2011, WSB Holdings Inc., the parent company of The Washington Savings Bank (“WSB”), in May 2013, Regal Bancorp, Inc. (“Regal”), the parent company of Regal Bank & Trust (“Regal Bank”), in December 2015, DCB Bancshares, Inc. (“DCB”), the parent company of Damascus Community Bank (“Damascus”), in July 2017 and BYBK, the parent company of Bay Bank, in April 2018, we have segmented the portfolio into two components, “Legacy” loans originated by Old Line Bank and “Acquired” loans acquired from MB&T, WSB, Regal Bank, Damascus and Bay Bank.

 

Credit Policies and Administration

 

We have adopted a comprehensive lending policy, which includes stringent underwriting standards for all types of loans. We have designed our underwriting standards to promote a complete banking relationship rather than a transactional relationship. Our lending staff follows pricing guidelines established periodically by our management team. In an effort to manage risk, prior to funding, the loan committee, consisting of four non-employee members of the board of directors and four executive officers, must approve by majority vote all credit decisions in excess of a lending officer’s lending authority. Management believes that we employ experienced lending officers, secure appropriate collateral and carefully monitor the financial condition of our borrowers and the concentrations of loans in the portfolio.

 

17

In addition to the internal business processes employed in the credit administration area, Old Line Bank retains an outside independent firm to review the loan portfolio. This firm performs a detailed annual review and an interim update. We use the results of the firm’s report to validate our internal ratings and we review the commentary on specific loans and on our loan administration activities in order to improve our operations.

 

Commercial Real Estate Loans

 

We finance commercial real estate for our clients, for owner occupied and investment properties, hospitality and land acquisition and development. Commercial real estate loans totaled $1.5 billion and $1.1 billion at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. This lending has involved loans secured by owner-occupied commercial buildings for office, storage and warehouse space, as well as non-owner occupied commercial buildings. Our underwriting criteria for commercial real estate loans include maximum loan-to-value ratios, debt coverage ratios, secondary sources of repayments, guarantor requirements, net worth requirements and quality of cash flows. Loans secured by commercial real estate may be large in size and may involve a greater degree of risk than one-to-four family residential mortgage loans. Payments on such loans are often dependent on successful operation or management of the properties. We will generally finance owner occupied commercial real estate that does not exceed loan to value of 80% and investor real estate at a maximum loan to value of 75%.

 

Commercial real estate lending entails significant risks. Risks inherent in managing our commercial real estate portfolio relate to sudden or gradual drops in property values as well as changes in the economic climate that may detrimentally impact the borrower’s ability to repay. We monitor the financial condition and operating performance of the borrower through a review of annual tax returns and updated financial statements. In addition, we meet with the borrower and/or perform site visits as required.

 

At June 30, 2018, we had approximately $169.1 million of commercial real estate loans outstanding to the hospitality industry. An individual review of these loans indicates that they generally have a low loan to value, more than acceptable existing or projected cash flow, are to experienced operators and are generally dispersed throughout the region.

 

Residential Real Estate Loans

 

We offer a variety of consumer oriented residential real estate loans including home equity lines of credit, home improvement loans and first or second mortgages on owner occupied and investment properties. Our residential loan portfolio amounted to $496.6 million and $310.7 million at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. Although most of these loans are in our market area, the diversity of the individual loans in the portfolio reduces our potential risk. Usually, we secure our residential real estate loans with a security interest in the borrower’s primary or secondary residence with a loan to value not exceeding 85%. Our initial underwriting includes an analysis of the borrower’s debt/income ratio which generally may not exceed 43%, collateral value, length of employment and prior credit history. A credit score of 640 is required. We do not originate any subprime residential real estate loans.

 

This segment of our portfolio also consists of funds advanced for construction of custom single family residences homes (where the home buyer is the borrower) and financing to builders for the construction of pre-sold homes and multi-family housing. These loans generally have short durations, meaning maturities typically of twelve months or less. Old Line Bank limits its construction lending risk through adherence to established underwriting procedures. These loans generally have short durations, meaning maturities typically of twelve months or less. Residential houses, multi-family dwellings and commercial buildings under construction and the underlying land for which the loan was obtained secure the construction loans. The vast majority of these loans are concentrated in our market area.

18

Construction lending also entails significant risk. These risks generally involve larger loan balances concentrated with single borrowers with funds advanced upon the security of the land or the project under construction. An appraisal of the property estimates the value of the project “as is and as if” completed. An appraisal of the property estimates the value of the project prior to completion of construction. Thus, initial funds are advanced based on the current value of the property with the remaining construction funds advanced under a budget sufficient to successfully complete the project within the “as completed” loan to value. To further mitigate the risks, we generally limit loan amounts to 80% or less of appraised values and obtain first lien positions on the property.

 

We generally only offer real estate construction financing only to experienced builders, commercial entities or individuals who have demonstrated the ability to obtain a permanent loan “take-out” (conversion to a permanent mortgage upon completion of the project). We also perform a complete analysis of the borrower and the project under construction. This analysis includes a review of the cost to construct, the borrower’s ability to obtain a permanent “take-out” the cash flow available to support the debt payments and construction costs in excess of loan proceeds, and the value of the collateral. During construction, we advance funds on these loans on a percentage of completion basis. We inspect each project as needed prior to advancing funds during the term of the construction loan. We may provide permanent financing on the same projects for which we have provided the construction financing.

 

We also offer fixed rate home improvement loans. Our home equity and home improvement loan portfolio gives us a diverse client base. Although most of these loans are in our market area, the diversity of the individual loans in the portfolio reduces our potential risk. Usually, we secure our home equity loans and lines of credit with a security interest in the borrower’s primary or secondary residence.

 

Under our loan approval policy, all residential real estate loans approved must comply with federal regulations. Generally, we will make residential mortgage loans in amounts up to the limits established by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac for secondary market resale purposes. Currently this amount for single-family residential loans currently varies from $453,100 up to a maximum of $679,650 for certain high-cost designated areas. We also make residential mortgage loans up to limits established by the Federal Housing Administration, which currently is $679,650. The Washington, D.C. and Baltimore areas are both considered high-cost designated areas. We will, however, make loans in excess of these amounts if we believe that we can sell the loans in the secondary market or that the loans should be held in our portfolio. For loans we originate for sale in the secondary market, we typically require a credit score of 620 or higher, with some exceptions provided we receive an approval recommendation from FannieMae, FreddieMac or the Federal Housing Administration’s automated underwriting approval system.  Loans sold in the secondary market are sold to investors on a servicing released basis and recorded as loans as held for sale.  The premium is recorded in income on marketable loans in non-interest income, net of commissions paid to the loan officers.

 

Commercial and Industrial Lending

 

Our commercial and industrial lending consists of lines of credit, revolving credit facilities, accounts receivable financing, term loans, equipment loans, Small Business Administration loans, standby letters of credit and unsecured loans. We originate commercial loans for any business purpose including the financing of leasehold improvements and equipment, the carrying of accounts receivable, general working capital, and acquisition activities. We have a diverse client base and we do not have a concentration of these types of loans in any specific industry segment. We generally secure commercial business loans with accounts receivable, equipment, deeds of trust and other collateral such as marketable securities, cash value of life insurance and time deposits at Old Line Bank.

 

Commercial business loans have a higher degree of risk than residential mortgage loans because the availability of funds for repayment generally depends on the success of the business. They may also involve high average balances, increased difficulty monitoring and a high risk of default. To help manage this risk, we typically limit these loans to proven businesses and we generally obtain appropriate collateral and personal guarantees from the borrower’s principal owners and monitor the financial condition of the business. For loans in excess of $250,000, monitoring generally includes a review of the borrower’s annual tax returns and updated financial statements.

19

Consumer Installment Lending

 

We offer various types of secured and unsecured consumer loans. We make consumer loans for personal, family or household purposes as a convenience to our customer base. Consumer loans, however, are not a focus of our lending activities. The underwriting standards for consumer loans include a determination of the applicant’s payment history on other debts and an assessment of his or her ability to meet existing obligations and payments on the proposed loan. As a general guideline, a consumer’s total debt service should not exceed 40% of his or her gross income.

 

Our consumer loan portfolio, includes indirect loans, which consists primarily of auto and RV loans. These loans are financed through dealers and the dealers receive a percentage of the finance charge, which varies depending on the terms of each loan. We use the same underwriting standards in originating these indirect loans as we do for consumer loans generally.

 

Consumer loans may present greater credit risk than residential mortgage loans because many consumer loans are unsecured or rapidly depreciating assets secure these loans. Repossessed collateral for a defaulted consumer loan may not provide an adequate source of repayment of the outstanding loan balance because of the greater likelihood of damage, loss or depreciation. Consumer loan collections depend on the borrower’s continuing financial stability. If a borrower suffers personal financial difficulties, the consumer may not repay the loan. Also, various federal and state laws, including bankruptcy and insolvency laws, may limit the amount we can recover on such loans.

 

Concentrations of Credit

 

Most of our lending activity occurs within the state of Maryland within the suburban Washington, D.C. and Baltimore market areas in Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Baltimore City, Calvert, Carroll, Charles, Frederick, Harford, Howard, Montgomery, Prince George’s and St. Mary’s Counties. The majority of our loan portfolio consists of commercial real estate loans and residential real estate loans.

 

Non-Accrual and Past Due Loans

 

We consider loans past due if the borrower has not paid the required principal and interest payments when due under the original or modified terms of the promissory note and place a loan on non-accrual status when the payment of principal or interest has become 90 days past due. When we classify a loan as non-accrual, we no longer accrue interest on such loan and we reverse any interest previously accrued but not collected. We will generally restore a non-accrual loan to accrual status when the borrower brings delinquent principal and interest payments current and we expect to collect future monthly principal and interest payments. We recognize interest on non-accrual legacy loans only when received. We originally recorded purchased, credit-impaired loans at fair value upon acquisition, and an accretable yield is established and recognized as interest income on purchased loans to the extent subsequent cash flows support the estimated accretable yield. Purchased, credit-impaired loans that perform consistently with the accretable yield expectations are not reported as non-accrual or nonperforming. However, purchased, credit-impaired loans that do not continue to perform according to accretable yield expectations are considered impaired, and presented as non-accrual and nonperforming. Currently, management expects to fully collect the carrying value of acquired, credit-impaired loans.

We consider all nonperforming loans and troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) to be impaired. We do not recognize interest income on nonperforming loans during the time period that the loans are nonperforming. We only recognize interest income on nonperforming loans when we receive payment in full for all amounts due of all contractually required principle and interest, and the loan is current with its contractual terms. The tables below present our impaired loans at and for the periods ended June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

We consider a loan a TDR when we conclude that both of the following conditions exist: the restructuring constitutes a concession and the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties. Restructured loans at June 30, 2018 consisted of seven loans for an aggregate of $2.4 million compared to seven loans for an aggregate of $2.7 million at December 31, 2017.

 

23

The following table includes the recorded investment in and number of modifications of TDRs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017. We report the recorded investment in loans prior to a modification and also the recorded investment in the loans after the loans were restructured. Reductions in the recorded investment are primarily due to the partial charge-off of the principal balance prior to the modification. We had no loans that were modified as a TDR that defaulted within three months of the modification date during the three or six month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.

For our acquisition of Bay Bank on April 13, 2018, we recorded all loans acquired at the estimated fair value on their purchase date with no carryover of the related allowance for loan losses. On the acquisition date, we segregated the loan portfolio into two loan pools, performing and non-performing.

24

We had an independent third party determine the net discounted value of cash flows on 1,991 performing loans totaling $520.5 million. The valuation took into consideration the loans’ underlying characteristics including account types, remaining terms, annual interest rates, interest types, past delinquencies, timing of principal and interest payments, current market rates, loan-to-value ratios, loss exposures, and remaining balances. These performing loans were segregated into pools based on loan and payment type and, in some cases, risk grade. The effect of this fair valuation process was a net discount of $8.3 million at acquisition.

 

We also individually evaluated 132 impaired loans totaling $13.5 million to determine their fair value as of the April 13, 2018 measurement date. In determining the fair value for each individually evaluated impaired loan, we considered a number of factors including the remaining life of the acquired loans, estimated prepayments, estimated loss ratios, estimated value of the underlying collateral and net present value of cash flows we expect to receive, among others.

 

We established a credit related non-accretable difference of $3.2 million relating to these purchased credit impaired loans, reflected in the recorded fair value.

 

We have re-classified $21.7 million (net of fair value marks) of our acquired loans to available for sale. These loans consist primarily of purchase credit impaired loans that we are currently working to market with brokers. We expect settlement on these loans to occur in the third quarter of 2018.

 

The following table outlines the contractually required payments receivable, cash flows we expect to receive, non-accretable credit adjustment and the accretable yield for all of Bay Bank’s impaired loans as of the acquisition date, April 13, 2018.

 

    Purchased
Credit
Impaired
Contractually required principal at acquisition   $ 14,766  
Contractual cash flows not expected to be colledted (non-accretable difference)     (3,201 )
Expected cash flows at acquisition-Total     11,565  

 

Credit Quality Indicators

 

We review the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses at least quarterly. We base the evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses upon loan categories. We categorize loans as residential real estate loans, commercial real estate loans, commercial loans and consumer loans. We further divide commercial real estate loans by owner occupied, investment, hospitality and land acquisition and development. We also divide residential real estate by owner occupied, investment, land acquisition and development and junior liens. All categories are divided by risk rating and loss factors and weighed by risk rating to determine estimated loss amounts. We evaluate delinquent loans and loans for which management has knowledge about possible credit problems of the borrower or knowledge of problems with collateral separately and assign loss amounts based upon the evaluation.

 

We determine loss ratios for all loans based upon a review of the three year loss ratio for the category and qualitative factors.

 

We charge off loans that management has identified as losses. We consider suggestions from our external loan review firm and bank examiners when determining which loans to charge off. We automatically charge off consumer loan accounts based on regulatory requirements. We partially charge off real estate loans that are collateral dependent based on the value of the collateral.

25

If a loan that was previously rated a pass performing loan, from our acquisitions, deteriorates subsequent to the acquisition, the subject loan will be assessed for risk and, if necessary, evaluated for impairment. If the risk assessment rating is adversely changed and the loan is determined to not be impaired, the loan will be placed in a migration category and the credit mark established for the loan will be compared to the general reserve allocation that would be applied using the current allowance for loan losses formula for General Reserves. If the credit mark exceeds the allowance for loan losses formula for General Reserves, there will be no change to the allowance for loan losses. If the credit mark is less than the current allowance for loan losses formula for General Reserves, the allowance for loan losses will be increased by the amount of the shortfall by a provision recorded in the income statement. If the loan is deemed impaired, the loan will be subject to evaluation for loss exposure and a specific reserve. If the estimate of loss exposure exceeds the credit mark, the allowance for loan losses will be increased by the amount of the excess loss exposure through a provision. If the credit mark exceeds the estimate of loss exposure there will be no change to the allowance for loan losses. If a loan from the acquired loan portfolio is carrying a specific credit mark and a current evaluation determines that there has been an increase in loss exposure, the allowance for loan losses will be increased by the amount of the current loss exposure in excess of the credit mark.

5. OTHER REAL ESTATE OWNED

 

At June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the fair value of other real estate owned was $2.4 million and $2.0 million, respectively. As a result of the acquisitions of Maryland Bankcorp, WSB Holdings, Regal and BYBK, we have segmented the other real estate owned (“OREO”) into two components, real estate obtained as a result of loans originated by Old Line Bank (legacy) and other real estate acquired from MB&T, WSB, Regal Bank and Bay Bank or obtained as a result of loans originated by MB&T, WSB, Regal Bank and Bay Bank (acquired); we did not acquire any OREO properties in the DCB acquisition. We are currently aggressively either marketing these properties for sale or improving them in preparation for sale.

The following outlines the transactions in OREO during the period.

Residential Foreclosures and Repossessed Assets  — Once all potential alternatives for reinstatement are exhausted, past due loans collateralized by residential real estate are referred for foreclosure proceedings in accordance with local requirements of the applicable jurisdiction. Once possession of the property collateralizing the loan is obtained, the repossessed property will be recorded within other assets either as OREO or, where management has both the intent and ability to recover its losses through a government guarantee, as a foreclosure claim receivable. At June 30, 2018, residential foreclosures classified as OREO totaled $1.7 million. We had four loans for an aggregate of $308 thousand secured by residential real estate in process of foreclosure at June 30, 2018 compared to one loan for $277 thousand at December 31, 2017.

 

6. EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

 

We determine basic earnings per common share by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding giving retroactive effect to stock dividends.

 

We calculate diluted earnings per common share by including the average dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding during the period. Dilutive common equivalent shares consist of stock options, calculated using the treasury stock method.

Dilutive average number of shares     16,464,580       11,165,814       14,620,030       11,152,901  

 

7. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, we recorded stock-based compensation expense of $280,750 and $146,918, respectively.  For the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, we recorded stock-based compensation expense of $569,310 and $262,031, respectively. At June 30, 2018, there was $1.6 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options and restricted stock awards that we expect to realize over the next 2.2 years. As of June 30, 2018, there were 212,005 shares remaining available for future issuance under the 2010 equity incentive plan. The officers exercised 53,021 options during the six month period ended June 30, 2018 compared to 14,300 options exercised during the six month period ended June 30, 2017.

 

For purposes of determining estimated fair value of stock options, we have computed the estimated fair value of all stock-based compensation using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and, for stock options granted prior to June 30, 2018, have applied the assumptions set forth in Old Line Bancshares’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.  Restricted stock awards are valued at the current stock price on the date of the award. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, there were 50,000 stock options granted compared to no stock options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2017.  The weighted average grant date fair value of the 2018 stock options is $8.90 and was computed using the Black-Scholes option pricing model under similar assumptions.

31

During the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, we granted 19,443 and 24,415 restricted common stock awards, respectively. The weighted average grant date fair value of these restricted stock awards is $32.00 at June 30, 2018. There were no restricted shares forfeited during the six month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.

 

8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

 

The fair value of an asset or liability is the price that participants would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability, or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The price in the principal (or most advantageous) market used to measure the fair value of the asset or liability shall not be adjusted for transaction costs. An orderly transaction is a transaction that assumes exposure to the market for a period prior to the measurement date to allow for marketing activities that are usual and customary for transactions involving such assets and liabilities; it is not a forced transaction. Market participants are buyers and sellers in the principal market that are (i) independent, (ii) knowledgeable, (iii) able to transact and (iv) willing to transact.

 

The fair value hierarchy established by accounting standards defines three input levels for fair value measurement. The applicable standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: Level 1 is based on quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets. Level 2 is based on significant observable inputs other than Level 1 prices. Level 3 is based on significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the assumption that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. We evaluate fair value measurement inputs on an ongoing basis in order to determine if there is a change of sufficient significance to warrant a transfer between levels. There were no transfers between levels during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 or the year ended December 31, 2017.

 

At June 30, 2018, we hold, as part of our investment portfolio, available for sale securities reported at fair value consisting of municipal securities, U.S. government sponsored entities, corporate bonds, and mortgage-backed securities. The fair value of the majority of these securities is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including matrix pricing and broker-quote based applications. Inputs include benchmark yields, reported trades, issuer spreads, prepayments speeds and other relevant items. These are inputs used by a third-party pricing service used by us.

 

To validate the appropriateness of the valuations provided by the third party, we regularly update the understanding of the inputs used and compare valuations to an additional third party source. We classify all our investment securities available for sale in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, with the exception of treasury securities that fall into Level 1 and our corporate bonds, which fall into Level 3.

Our valuation methodologies may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. While management believes our methodologies are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value. Furthermore, we have not comprehensively revalued the fair value amounts since the presentation dates, and therefore, estimates of fair value after the balance sheet date may differ significantly from the above presented amounts.

 

The fair value of the majority of the securities in significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including matrix pricing and broker-quote based applications. Inputs include benchmark yields, reported trades, issuer spreads, prepayments speeds and other relevant items. These are inputs used by a third-party pricing service used by us.

 

The following table provides a reconciliation of changes in fair value included in assets measured in the Consolidated Balance Sheet using inputs classified as level 3 in the fair value for the period indicated:

 

(in thousands)   Level 3
Investment available-for-sale        
Balance as of January 1, 2018   $ 14,658  
Realized and unrealized gains (losses)

Included in other comprehensive income     39  
Purchases, issuances, sales and settlements     3,500  
Transfers into or out of level 3      
Balance at June 30, 2018   $ 18,197

The fair value calculated may not be indicative of net realized value or reflective of future fair values.

 

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

 

We may be required, from time to time, to measure certain assets at fair value on a non-recurring basis in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. These include assets that are measured at the lower of cost or market that were recognized at fair value below cost at the end of the period. Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 are included in the tables below.

 

We also measure certain non-financial assets such as OREO, TDRs, and repossessed or foreclosed property at fair value on a non-recurring basis. Generally, we estimate the fair value of these items using Level 2 inputs based on observable market data or Level 3 inputs based on discounting criteria.

As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we estimated the fair value of impaired assets using Level 3 inputs to be $10.1 million and $8.2 million, respectively. We determined these Level 3 inputs based on appraisal evaluations, offers to purchase and/or appraisals that we obtained from an outside third party during the preceding twelve months less costs to sell. Discounts have predominantly been in the range of 0% to 50%. As a result of the acquisitions of Maryland Bankcorp, WSB Holdings, Regal and BYBK, we have segmented the OREO into two components, real estate obtained as a result of loans originated by Old Line Bank (legacy) and other real estate acquired from MB&T, WSB, Regal Bank and Bay Bank or obtained as a result of loans originated by MB&T, WSB, Regal Bank and Bay Bank (acquired).

 

The following presents the carrying amount, fair value, and placement in the fair value hierarchy of Old Line Bancshares’ financial instruments not recorded at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.  For short term financial assets such as cash and cash equivalents, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value due to the relatively short time between the origination of the instrument and its expected realization.  For non-marketable equity securities the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value as these securities can only be redeemed or sold at their par value and only to the respective issuing government-supported institution or to another member institution.  For net loans receivable, an exit price notion is used consistent with ASC Topic 820 - Fair Value Measurement . Prior to adoption, loans were calculated using an entry price notion. For financial liabilities such as noninterest-bearing demand, interest bearing demand, and savings deposits, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value due to these products having no stated maturity.

9. SHORT TERM BORROWINGS

 

Short term borrowings consist of promissory notes or overnight repurchase agreements sold to Old Line Bank’s customers, federal funds purchased and advances from the FHLB). At June 30, 2018, we had $275.0 million outstanding in short term FHLB borrowings, compared to $155.0 million at December 31, 2017. At June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we had no unsecured promissory notes and $39.7 million and $37.6 million, respectively, in secured promissory notes.

 

Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase

 

To support the $39.7 million in repurchase agreements at June 30, 2018, we have provided collateral in the form of investment securities. At June 30, 2018 we have pledged $64.6 million in U.S. government agency securities and mortgage-backed securities to customers who require collateral for overnight repurchase agreements and deposits. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are stated at the amount of cash received in connection with the transaction. As a result, there is no offsetting or netting of the investment securities assets with the repurchase agreement liabilities. We monitor collateral levels on a continuous basis. We may be required to provide additional collateral based on the fair value of the underlying securities in the event the collateral fair value falls below stipulated levels. We closely monitor the collateral levels to ensure adequate levels are maintained. Securities pledged as collateral under repurchase agreements are maintained with our safekeeping agents. We have the right to sell or re-pledge the investment securities. For government entity repurchase agreements, the collateral is held by Old Line Bank in a segregated custodial account under a tri-party agreement. The repurchase agreements totaling $39.7 million mature daily and will remain fully collateralized until the account has been closed or terminated.

 

10. LONG TERM BORROWINGS

 

Long term borrowings consist of $35 million in aggregate principal amount of Old Line Bancshares 5.625% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2026 (the “Notes”). The Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture and a supplemental indenture, each dated as of August 15, 2016, between Old Line Bancshares and U.S. Bank National Association as Trustee. The Notes are unsecured subordinated obligations of Old Line Bancshares and rank equally with all other unsecured subordinated indebtedness currently outstanding or issued in the future. The Notes are subordinated in right of payment of all senior indebtedness. The fair value of the Notes is $34.1 million.

 

Also included in long term borrowings are trust preferred subordinated debentures totaling $4.1 million (net of $2.6 million fair value adjustment) at June 30, 2018 acquired in the Regal acquisition. The trust preferred subordinated debentures consists of two trusts – Trust 1 in the amount of $4.0 million (fair value adjustment of $1.4 million) maturing on March 17, 2034 and Trust 2 in the amount of $2.5 million (fair value adjustment $1.2 million) maturing on December 14, 2035.

Overview

 

Old Line Bancshares was incorporated under the laws of the State of Maryland on April 11, 2003 to serve as the holding company of Old Line Bank.

 

On April 1, 2011, we acquired Maryland Bankcorp, Inc. (“Maryland Bankcorp”), the parent company of Maryland Bank & Trust Company, N.A (“MB&T”), on May 10, 2013, we acquired WSB Holdings, Inc. (“WSB Holdings”), the parent company of The Washington Savings Bank, F.S.B. (“WSB”), on December 4, 2015, we acquired Regal Bancorp, Inc. (“Regal”), the parent company of Regal Bank & Trust (“Regal Bank”), on July 28, 2017, we acquired DCB Bancshares, Inc. (“DCB”), the parent company of Damascus Community Bank (“Damascus”), and on April 13, 2018, we acquired Bay Bancorp, Inc. (“BYBK”), the parent company of Bay Bank, FSB. This acquisition brought our assets to approximately $2.8 billion and we now operate 39 full service branches serving 11 Maryland counties and Baltimore City.

 

Summary of Recent Performance and Other Activities

 

Net income available to common stockholders decreased $1.2 million, or 31.33%, to $2.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018, compared to $4.0 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2017. Earnings were $0.17 per basic and diluted common share for the three months ended June 30, 2018, compared to $0.36 per basic and diluted common share for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The decrease in net income for the second quarter of 2018 as compared to the same 2017 period is primarily the result of an increase of $11.1 million in non-interest expense, offsetting the increases of $9.1 million in net interest income and $1.2 million in non-interest income. Net income included $7.1 million ($6.2 million net of taxes) in merger-related expenses (or $0.38 per basic and $0.37 per diluted common share) in connection with the Company’s acquisition of BYBK in April 2018. Excluding the merger-related expenses, adjusted operating earnings, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, would have been $8.9 million or $0.55 per basic and $0.54 per diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2018.

 

Net income available to common stockholders was $8.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to $7.9 million for the same period last year, an increase of $848 thousand, or 10.67%. Earnings were $0.61 per basic and $0.60 per diluted common share for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to $0.73 per basic and $0.71 per diluted common share for the same period last year. The increase in net income is primarily the result of increases of $12.6 million, or 44.26%, in net interest income and $1.1 million in non-interest income, partially offset by a $12.6 million increase in non-interest expenses. Included in net income for the 2018 period was $7.1 million ($6.2 million net of taxes, or $0.43 per basic and $0.42 per diluted common share) for merger-related expenses associated with the acquisition of BYBK. Excluding the merger-related expenses, adjusted operating earnings (which is a non-GAAP measure) for the six month period ended June 30, 2018 would have been $15.0 million or $1.04 per basic and $1.02 per diluted share.

 

37

The following highlights contain additional financial data and events that have occurred during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2018:

Excluding the merger-related expenses (non-GAAP financial measure), ROAA and ROAE would have been 1.28% and 10.25%, respectively, for the second quarter of 2018.

 

ROAA and ROAE were 0.72% and 6.27%, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to ROAA and ROAE of 0.91% and 9.50%, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2017. Excluding the merger-related expenses (non-GAAP financial measure), ROAA and ROAE would have been 1.23% and 10.67%, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

 

Our efficiency ratio stood at 79.55% and 69.76%, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to 61.11% and 60.32%, respectively, for the same periods last year. Exclusive of the merger-related expenses, the adjusted efficiency ratio (a non-GAAP financial measure) was 52.67% and 54.26%, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to 61.11% and 60.32% for the same periods of 2017.

 

Total assets increased $827.8 million, or 39.31%, since December 31, 2017.

 

Total deposits grew by $554.8 million, or 33.56%, since December 31, 2017. The BYBK acquisition provided approximately $541.4 million in deposits while new organic deposits were approximately $13.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

 

We ended the second quarter of 2018 with a book value of $20.86 per common share and a tangible book value of $14.32 per common share compared to $16.61 and $14.10, respectively, at December 31, 2017.

 

We maintained appropriate levels of liquidity and by all regulatory measures remained “well capitalized.”

Recent Acquisitions

 

Bay Bancorp, Inc . On April 13, 2018, Old Line Bancshares acquired BYBK, the parent company of Bay Bank. The aggregate merger consideration was approximately $143.6 million based on the closing sales price of Old Line Bancshares’ common stock on April 13, 2018.

 

In connection with the merger, Bay Bank merged with and into Old Line Bank, with Old Line Bank the surviving bank.

 

At April 12, 2018, BYBK had consolidated assets of approximately $662.5 million. This merger added 11 banking locations located in BYBK’s primary market areas of Baltimore City and Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Howard and Harford Counties in Maryland.

 

39

The acquired assets and assumed liabilities of BYBK were measured at estimated fair value. Management made significant estimates and exercised significant judgment in accounting for the acquisition of BYBK. Management judgmentally assigned risk ratings to loans based on appraisals and estimated collateral values, expected cash flows, prepayment speeds and estimated loss factors to measure fair value for loans. Management used quoted or current market prices to determine the fair value of BYBK’ investment securities.

 

DCB Bancshares, Inc . On July 28, 2017, Old Line Bancshares acquired DCB, the parent company of Damascus. The aggregate merger consideration was approximately $40.9 million based on the closing sales price of Old Line Bancshares’ common stock on July 28, 2017.

 

In connection with the merger, Damascus merged with and into Old Line Bank, with Old Line Bank the surviving bank.

 

At July 28, 2017, DCB had consolidated assets of approximately $311 million. This merger added six banking locations located in Montgomery, Frederick and Carroll Counties in Maryland.

 

The acquired assets and assumed liabilities of DCB were measured at estimated fair value. Management made significant estimates and exercised significant judgment in accounting for the acquisition of DCB. Management judgmentally assigned risk ratings to loans based on appraisals and estimated collateral values, expected cash flows, prepayment speeds and estimated loss factors to measure fair value for loans. Management used quoted or current market prices to determine the fair value of Damascus’ investment securities.

 

Strategic Plan

 

We have based our strategic plan on the premise of enhancing stockholder value and growth through branching and operating profits. Our short term goals include continuing our strong pattern of organic loan and deposit growth, enhancing and maintaining credit quality, collecting payments on non-accrual and past due loans, profitably disposing of certain acquired loans and other real estate owned (“OREO”), maintaining an attractive branch network, expanding fee income, generating extensions of core banking services, and using technology to maximize stockholder value. During the past few years, we have expanded by acquisition into Baltimore, Carroll, Howard, Harford and Frederick Counties and Baltimore City, Maryland, organically and through acquisitions in Montgomery and Anne Arundel Counties, Maryland, and organically in Prince George’s County, Maryland.

 

We use the Internet and technology to augment our growth plans. Currently, we offer our customers image technology, Internet banking with online account access and bill pay service and mobile banking. We provide selected commercial customers the ability to remotely capture their deposits and electronically transmit them to us. We will continue to evaluate cost effective ways that technology can enhance our management capabilities, products and services.

 

We may continue to take advantage of strategic opportunities presented to us via mergers occurring in our marketplace. For example, we may purchase branches that other banks close or lease branch space from other banks or hire additional loan officers. We also continually evaluate and consider opportunities with financial services companies or institutions with which we may become a strategic partner, merge or acquire such as we have done with Maryland Bankcorp, WSB Holdings, Regal, DCB and BYBK. We believe that, going forward, the BYBK acquisition will generate increased earnings and increased returns for our stockholders, including the former stockholders of BYBK.

 

Although the current interest rate climate continues to present challenges for our industry, we have worked diligently towards our goal of becoming the premier community bank in Maryland. While we are uncertain about the continued pace of economic growth or the impact of the current political environment, recent tariffs imposed on imports into the United States, and the growing national debt, we remain cautiously optimistic that we have identified any problem assets, that our remaining borrowers will stay current on their loans and that we can continue to grow our balance sheet and earnings.

Although the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve Board”) has been slowly increasing the federal funds rate since December 2015, interest rates are still at historically low levels, and if the economy remains stable, we believe that we can continue to grow total loans during the remainder of 2018 even with the additional expected incremental increases in the federal funds rate, which will increase market interest rates, and that we can continue to grow total deposits during the remainder of 2018 even with interest rates that are, and are expected to remain during 2018, low by historical levels. As a result of this expected growth, we expect that net interest income will continue to increase during the remainder of 2018, although there can be no guarantee that this will be the case.

 

We also expect that salaries and benefits expenses and occupancy and equipment expenses will continue to be higher in 2018 and going forward generally than they were in 2017 as a result of including the expenses related to the former Damascus and Bay Bank employees and the staff associated with our branch in Riverdale, Maryland, that opened in June 2017, as well as the occupancy costs associated with the new Damascus, Bay Bank and Riverdale branches; such expenses may increase even further if we selectively take the opportunity to add more business development talent. We will continue to look for opportunities to reduce expenses as we did with the closing of three branches in 2016 and the July 2018 closure of two legacy Old Line Bank branches that were consolidated with former Bay Bank locations within close proximity. We believe with our existing branches, our lending staff, our corporate infrastructure and our solid balance sheet and strong capital position, we can continue to focus our efforts on improving earnings per share and enhancing stockholder value.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Critical accounting policies are those that involve significant judgments and assessments by management, and which could potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. As discussed in Old Line Bancshares’ Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, we consider our critical accounting policies to be the allowance for loan losses, other-than-temporary impairment of investment securities, goodwill and other intangible assets, income taxes, business combinations and accounting for acquired loans. There have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies during the three months ended June 30, 2018.

 

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2018 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2017.

 

Net Interest Income. Net interest income is the difference between income on interest earning assets and the cost of funds supporting those assets. Earning assets are comprised primarily of loans, investments, interest bearing deposits and federal funds sold. Cost of funds consists of interest paid on interest bearing deposits and other borrowings. Non-interest bearing deposits and capital are also funding sources. Changes in the volume and mix of earning assets and funding sources along with changes in associated interest rates determine changes in net interest income.

 

Net interest income before the provision for loan losses for the three months ended June 30, 2018 increased $9.1 million, or 63.54%, to $23.3 million from $14.3 million for the same period in 2017. As outlined in detail in the Rate/Volume Variance Analysis, this increase was the result of an increase in total interest income, resulting from an increase in the average balance of and, to a much lesser extent, the average yield on, our loans, partially offset by an increase in interest expense resulting from increases in the average rate on and, to a lesser extent, the average balance of, our interest bearing liabilities, all as discussed further below. We continue to adjust the mix and volume of interest earning assets and liabilities on the balance sheet to maintain a relatively strong net interest margin.

 

Total interest income increased $11.1 million, or 65.18%, to $28.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to $17.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2017, primarily as a result of a $10.7 million increase in interest and fees on loans. The increase in interest and fees on loans is primarily the result of an $821.6 million increase in the average balance of our loans, driven primarily by an increase in the average balance of our mortgage loans, for the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the same period last year, as a result of both the loans we acquired in the BYBK acquisition and organic loan growth. An increase in the average yield on the loan portfolio to 4.72% for the three months ended June 30, 2018 from 4.47% during the three months ended June 30, 2017, due to higher yields on new commercial and consumer loans, also contributed to the increase in interest and fees on loans. The fair value accretion/amortization on acquired loans affects interest income, primarily due to payoffs on such acquired loans. Payoffs during the three months ended June 30, 2018 contributed an 18 basis point increase in interest income, compared to eight basis points for the three months ended June 30, 2017.

 

41

In addition, interest income on our securities portfolio increased $431 thousand or 33.49% for the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the same period last year as a result of an increase in the average balance of and, to a lesser extent, the average yield on, our investment securities. The average balance of our investment portfolio increased $22.6 million, or 10.59%, for the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2017, primarily due to increases in the average balance of our municipal and U.S. government agency securities and our corporate bonds, partially offset by a decrease in our MBS. The average yield on the investment portfolio increased to 3.19% for the three months ended June 30, 2018 from 2.88% during the three months ended June 30, 2017, primarily due to higher yields on our MBS and other investment securities, partially offset by decreases in the average yield on our municipal securities and corporate bonds.

 

Total interest expense increased $2.1 million, or 73.52%, to $4.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2018 from $2.8 million for the same period in 2017, as a result of increases in the average rate paid on and, to a lesser extent, the average balance of, our interest bearing liabilities. The average interest rate paid on all interest bearing liabilities increased to 1.08% during the three months ended June 30, 2018, from 0.90% during the three months ended June 30, 2017, due to higher rates paid on both our deposits, primarily our time deposits as well as our money market and NOW accounts, and our borrowings, primarily our FHLB borrowings. The increase in the average rate paid on our deposits and FHLB borrowings is the result of us paying slightly higher rates as a result of recent Federal Reserve Board rate increases.

 

The average balance of our interest bearing liabilities increased $558.8 million, or 44.64%, to $1.8 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2018 from $1.3 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2017, as a result of increases of $511.4 million, or 50.60%, in our average interest bearing deposits and $47.4 million, or 19.65%, in our average borrowings quarter over quarter. The increase in our average interest bearing deposits is due to the deposits acquired in the BYBK and DCB mergers and, to a lesser extent, organic deposit growth. The increase in our average borrowings is primarily due to the use of short term FHLB advances to fund new loan originations.

 

Non-interest bearing deposits allow us to fund growth in interest earning assets at minimal cost. Average non-interest bearing deposits increased $258.1 million to $615.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018, compared to $357.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, primarily as a result of the deposits we acquired in the BYBK and DCB mergers.

 

Our net interest margin increased to 3.80% for the three months ended June 30, 2018 from 3.60% for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The net interest margin increased due to an improvement in the yield on average interest earning assets, which increased 30 basis points from 4.28% for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 to 4.58% for the quarter ended June 30, 2018, as well as an increase in non-interest bearing deposits as a source of funding, partially offset by increases in the amount of interest expense and in the average rate paid on our interest bearing liabilities, which increased 18 basis points during the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the same period last year. The net interest margin during the 2018 period was also affected by the amount of accretion on acquired loans. Accretion increased due to a higher amount of early payoffs on acquired loans with credit marks during the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the same period of 2017. The fair value accretion/amortization is recorded on pay-downs recognized during the period, which contributed 18 basis points for the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to eight basis points for the three months ended June 30, 2017. A reduction in the tax equivalent yield as a result of the tax rate change that was enacted in December 2017 in accordance with the Tax Cut and Jobs Act also had a negative impact on the net interest margin during the period. The change in the tax rate contributed to a reduction of seven basis points for the three months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to the three month period ended June 30, 2017. 

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, we continued to successfully collect payments on acquired loans that we had recorded at fair value at the acquisition date, which resulted in a positive impact in interest income. Total accretion increased by $828 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2018, compared to the same period last year. The payments received were a direct result of our efforts to negotiate payments, sell notes or foreclose on and sell collateral after the acquisition date.

 

The accretion positively impacted the yield on loans and increased the net interest margin during these periods as follows:

Management believes providing this information on a FTE basis provides investors with a more accurate picture of our net interest spread and net interest income and we believe it to be the preferred industry measurement of these calculations. See “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures.”

 

Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was $532 thousand, an increase of $253 thousand, or 90.83%, compared to $279 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2017. This increase was due to organic growth in our loan portfolio.

 

Management identified additional probable losses in the loan portfolio and recorded $104 thousand in charge-offs during the three month period ended June 30, 2018, compared to no charge-offs for the three months ended June 30, 2017. We recognized recoveries of $19 thousand during the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to recoveries of $23 thousand during the same period in 2017.

 

The allowance for loan losses to gross loans held for investment was 0.29% and 0.35%, and the allowance for loan losses to non-accrual loans was 262.92% and 335.51%, at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. The decrease in the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of gross loans held for investment was primarily the result of growth in the acquired loan portfolio. The decrease in the allowance for loan losses to non-accrual loans is primarily the result of the increase in our acquired non-accrual loans.

Non-interest Income . Non-interest income totaled $3.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018, an increase of $1.2 million, or 59.75%, from the corresponding period of 2017 amount of $2.0 million.

Total non-interest income   $ 3,188,051     $ 1,995,619     $ 1,192,432       59.75 %

 

Non-interest income increased during the 2018 period primarily as a result of income of $674 thousand from our new point of sale (“POS”) sponsorship program, as well as increases in other fees and commissions, ATM income, service charges and earnings on bank owned life insurance, partially offset by decreases in income on marketable loans and gain on sale of loans.

 

As a result of the BYBK acquisition, the Bank became a member of the POS network sponsorship program, which allows our customers to access several processing and settlement networks; when our customers use one of these networks, the Bank receives a transaction fee from the network.

 

The increase in other fees and commissions is primarily the result of a one-time bonus on our annuity plan and an increase in other loan fees.

 

The increase in ATM income is the result of increased income on bank debit cards due to the higher deposit base, and the increase in service charges is due to the increase in Bank customers, in each case primarily as a result of the DCB and BYBK acquisitions.

 

The increase in earnings on bank owned life insurance is due to the increase in the balance as a result of the DCB and BYBK acquisitions.

 

Income on marketable loans consists of gain on the sale of residential mortgage loans originated for sale and any fees we receive in connection with such sales. Income on marketable loans decreased $215 thousand during the three months ended June 30, 2018, compared to the same period last year due to a decrease in gains recorded on the sale of residential mortgage loans primarily as a result of a decrease in the volume of mortgage loans sold in the secondary market. The residential mortgage division originated and sold loans aggregating $28.7 million for sale in the secondary market during the second quarter of 2018 compared to $31.1 million for the same period last year.

 

45

The $94 thousand in gain on sale of loans (other than residential mortgage loans held for sale) during the three month period ended June 30, 2017 was due to the sale of one Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loan during the period, whereas we did not sell any portfolio loans during the 2018 period.

 

Non-interest Expense. Non-interest expense increased $11.1 million, or 112.27%, for the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2017.

 

The following table outlines the amounts of and changes in non-interest expenses for the periods.

 

    Three months ended June 30,        
    2018   2017   $ Change   % Change
Salaries and benefits   $ 7,201,335     $ 5,050,635     $ 2,150,700       42.58 %
Occupancy and equipment     2,242,641       1,655,270       587,371       35.48  
Data processing     702,182       361,546       340,636       94.22  
FDIC insurance and State of Maryland assessments     320,326       256,513       63,813       24.88

Network services     95,607       164,232       (68,625 )     (41.79 )
Telephone     252,482       186,159       66,323       35.63  
Other operating     2,333,694       1,886,405       447,289       23.71  
Total non-interest expenses   $ 21,077,406     $ 9,929,451     $ 11,147,955       112.27 %

 

Non-interest expenses increased quarter over quarter primarily as a result of the $7.1 million of merger and integration expenses that we incurred during the 2018 period due to the recent BYBK acquisition compared to no merger and integration expenses during the same period last year, as well as increases in salaries and benefits, occupancy and equipment, core deposit premium amortization, data processing, telephone and other operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the same period of 2017.

 

The increases in salaries and benefits and occupancy and equipment expenses are primarily due to the additional staff and new branches, respectively, that we acquired in the DCB and BYBK mergers.

 

Core deposit premium amortization increased as a result of the higher premiums resulting from the deposits we acquired in the DCB and BYBK acquisitions .

 

The increase in data processing expenses resulted from additional customer transactions due to growth, a larger customer base on which a fee is assessed, and new and enhanced products that increased our payments to our core processer.

 

Telephone and other operating expenses (which includes, for example, office supplies, software expense, marketing and advertising expenses) increased as a result of the additional branches and staff resulting from the BYBK and DCB mergers.

 

Income Taxes. We had income tax expense of $2.2 million (44.22% of pre-tax income) for the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to income tax expense of $2.1 million (34.28% of pre-tax income) for the same period in 2017. The effective tax rate increased for the 2018 period primarily as a result of the non-deductible merger expenses we incurred during 2018, which offset the decrease in the federal corporate tax income rate from 35% in 2017 to 21% during 2018, which was enacted as part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

 

Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2018 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2017.

 

Net interest income before provision for loan losses for the six months ended June 30, 2018 increased $12.6 million, or 44.26%, to $41.0 million from $28.4 million for the same period in 2017. As outlined in detail in the Rate/Volume Variance Analysis, this increase was the result of an increase in total interest income, resulting primarily from an increase in the average balance of our loans, partially offset by an increase in interest expense resulting from an increase in the average rate on and, to a lesser extent, the average balance of, our interest bearing liabilities, all as discussed further below.

 

46

Total interest income increased $15.8 million, or 46.91%, to $49.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to $33.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017, primarily as a result of a $15.0 million increase in interest and fees on loans. The increase in interest and fees on loans is primarily the result of a $581.3 million increase in the average balance of our loans during the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017, as a result of the loans acquired in the BYBK and DCB acquisitions as well as strong organic loan growth. In addition, the average yield on the loan portfolio increased to 4.71% for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from 4.53% during the six months ended June 30, 2017 due to higher yields on new commercial and consumer loans, although this had much less of an impact on the total increase in interest income than did the increase in the average balance of our loans. The fair value accretion/amortization on acquired loans affects interest income, primarily due to payoffs on such acquired loans. Payoffs during the six months ended June 30, 2018 contributed a 13 basis point increase in interest income, as compared to seven basis points for the six months ended June 30, 2017.

 

A $785 thousand increase in interest earned on investment and other securities also contributed to the increase in total interest income. This increase was a result of increases in the average balances of our corporate bonds and municipal securities, partially offset by a decrease in the average balance of our MBS, and, to a lesser extent, an increase in the average yield on our investment securities. The average yield on our investment securities increased 30 basis points during the 2018 period compared to the same period of 2017 as a result of increases in the average rate on our MBS and our U.S. Treasury and agency and other equity securities, partially offset by decreases in the average yield on our municipal securities and corporate bonds.

 

Total interest expense increased $3.2 million, or 61.17%, to $8.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018 from $5.3 million for the same period in 2017, as a result of increases in the average rate paid on and, to a lesser extent, the average balance of, our interest bearing liabilities. The average interest rate paid on all interest bearing liabilities increased to 1.06% during the six months ended June 30, 2018 from 0.86% during the six months ended June 30, 2017, due primarily to higher interest rates paid on our borrowings, time deposits, and money market and NOW accounts. The fair value accretion recorded on acquired deposits also affects interest expense. The benefit from accretion on such deposits was one basis point for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to one basis point for the same period last year.

 

The average balance of our interest bearing liabilities increased $388.3 million, or 31.40%, to $1.6 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from $1.2 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2017, as a result of increases of $362.6 million, or 36.27%, in our average interest bearing deposits and $25.6 million, or 10.83%, in our average borrowings quarter over quarter. The increase in our average interest bearing deposits is primarily due to the BYBK and DCB acquisitions. The increase in our average borrowings is primarily due to the use of short-term FHLB advances to fund new loan originations.

 

As a result of the growth generated primarily from the recent DCB and BYBK acquisitions, and our branch network from the efforts of our commercial loan officers in working with loan clients to move their commercial deposits to Old Line Bank, average non-interest bearing deposits increased $190.0 million to $537.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to $347.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017.

 

Our net interest margin increased to 3.78% for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from 3.66% for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The net interest margin increased due to an improvement in the yield on average interest earning assets, which increased 23 basis points from 4.32% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 to 4.55% for the six months ended June 30, 2018, as well as an increase in non-interest bearing deposits as a source of funding, partially offset by the increases in the amount of interest expense and in the average rate paid on our interest bearing liabilities, which increased 20 basis points during the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the same period last year. The net interest margin during 2018 was also affected by the amount of accretion on acquired loans. Accretion increased due to a higher amount of early payoffs on acquired loans with credit marks during the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the same period of 2017. The fair value accretion/amortization is recorded on pay-downs recognized during the period, which contributed 13 basis points for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to eight basis points for the six months ended June 30, 2017.

 

47

During the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, we continued to successfully collect payments on acquired loans that we had recorded at fair value at the acquisition date, which resulted in a positive impact in interest income. Total accretion increased by $797 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the same period last year. The higher level of accretion on acquired loans was due to a higher level of early payoffs on acquired loans with credit marks and the higher level of acquired loans with accreting marks.

 

The accretion positively impacted the yield on loans and increased the net interest margin during these periods as follows:

 

    Six months ended June 30,
    2018   2017
        % Impact on       % Impact on
    Accretion   Net Interest   Accretion   Net Interest

Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $927 thousand, an increase of $208 thousand, or 28.88%, compared to $719 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2017. This increase is due to the organic growth in our loan portfolio.

 

Management identified additional probable losses in the loan portfolio and recorded $166 thousand in charge-offs for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to charge-offs of $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. We recognized recoveries of $23 thousand during the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to $29 thousand for the same period in 2017.

 

Non-interest Income . Non-interest income totaled $5.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, an increase of $1.1 million, or 29.42%, from the corresponding period of 2017 amount of $3.9 million.

Earnings on bank owned life insurance     753,992       563,456       190,536       33.82  
Gain on disposal of assets     14,366       112,594       (98,228 )     (87.24 )
Gain on sale of loans           94,714       (94,714 )     100.00  
Loss on sale of stock     (60,998 )           (60,998 )     100.00  
Rental income     397,494       310,455       87,039       28.04  
Income on marketable loans     930,351       1,357,577       (427,226 )     (31.47 )
Other fees and commissions     974,902       529,868       445,034       83.99  
Total non-interest income   $ 4,983,072     $ 3,850,353     $ 1,132,719       29.42 %

 

Non-interest income increased during the 2018 period primarily as a result of income of $674 thousand from our new POS sponsorship program, as well as increases in other fees and commissions, ATM income, earnings on bank owned life insurance and service charges, partially offset by decreases in income on marketable loans, gain on sale of loans and gain on disposal of assets.

 

The increase in other fees and commissions is primarily the result of a one-time bonus on our annuity plan and an increase in other loan fees.

 

The increase in ATM income is the result of increased income on bank debit cards due to the higher deposit base, and the increase in service charges is due to the increase in Bank customers, in each case primarily as a result of the DCB and BYBK acquisitions.

 

The increase in earnings on bank owned life insurance is due to the increase in the balance due to the DCB and BYBK mergers.

 

Income on marketable loans decreased $427 thousand during the six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to the same period last year due to a decrease in gains recorded on the sale of residential mortgage loans [primarily] as a result of a lower volume of loans sold in the secondary market. The residential mortgage division originated loans aggregating $48.9 million for sale in the secondary market during the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to $51.7 million for the same period last year.

 

The $95 thousand in gain on sale of loans (other than residential mortgage loans held for sale) during the six month period ended June 30, 2017, is due to the sale of one SBA loan during the period, whereas we did not sell any portfolio loans during the 2018 period.

 

The decrease in gain on disposal of assets is due to the sale during 2017 of our previously-owned location, the Accokeek branch, whereas we had no such sales during the 2018 period.

 

Non-interest Expense. Non-interest expense increased $12.6 million, or 64.78%, for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017.

51

The following table outlines the amounts of and changes in non-interest expenses for the periods.

 

    Six months ended June 30,        
    2018   2017   $ Change   % Change
Salaries and benefits   $ 12,686,785     $ 9,918,166     $ 2,768,619       27.91 %
Occupancy and equipment     4,223,042       3,308,683       914,359       27.64  
Data processing     1,311,821       718,194       593,627       82.66  
FDIC insurance and State of Maryland assessments     508,397       518,113       (9,716 )     (1.88 )
Merger and integration     7,121,802             7,121,802       100.00  
Core deposit premium amortization     853,049       379,258       473,791       124.93  
Gain on sale of other real estate owned     54,472       (17,689 )     72,161       (407.94 )
OREO expense     212,989       55,211       157,778       285.77  
Director fees     367,200       336,900       30,300       8.99  
Network services     174,812       303,839       (129,027 )     (42.47 )
Telephone     456,906       380,301       76,605       20.14  
Other operating     4,098,090       3,560,605       537,485       15.10  
Total non-interest expenses   $ 32,069,365     $ 19,461,581     $ 12,607,784       64.78 %

  

Non-interest expenses increased period over period primarily as a result the $7.1 million of merger and integration expenses that we incurred during the 2018 period in connection with the BYBK acquisition compared to no merger and integration expenses during the same period last year, as well as increases in salaries and benefits, occupancy and equipment, data processing, core deposit premium amortization, telephone and other operating expenses, partially offset by a decrease in network services, for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the same six month period of 2017.

 

The increases in salaries and benefits and occupancy and equipment expenses are primarily due to the additional staff and new branches, respectively, that we acquired in the DCB and BYBK mergers.

 

Core deposit amortization increased as a result of the higher premiums resulting from the deposits we acquired in the DCB and BYBK acquisitions .

 

Data processing expenses increased for the 2018 period as a result of additional customer transactions due to growth, a larger customer base on which a fee is assessed, and new and enhanced products that increased our payments to our core processer.

 

Telephone and other operating expenses increased as a result of the additional branches and staff we acquired in the BYBK and DCB mergers.

 

Income Taxes. We had income tax expense of $4.2 million (32.26% of pre-tax income) for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to income tax expense of $4.1 million (34.27% of pre-tax income) for the same period in 2016. The effective tax rate decreased for the 2018 period primarily as a result of the decrease in the federal corporate tax income rate from 35% to 21% enacted as part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, although the impact of the lower tax rate was partially offset by our incurring non-deductible merger expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2018.

 

Analysis of Financial Condition

 

Investment Securities. Our portfolio consists primarily of investment grade securities including U.S. Treasury securities, U.S. government agency securities, U.S. government sponsored entity securities, corporate bonds, securities issued by states, counties and municipalities, MBS, certain equity securities (recorded at cost), Federal Home Loan Bank stock, Maryland Financial Bank stock, and Atlantic Community Bankers Bank stock.

 

We have prudently managed our investment portfolio to maintain liquidity and safety. The portfolio provides a source of liquidity and collateral for borrowings, as well as a means of diversifying our earning asset portfolio. While we usually intend to hold the investment securities until maturity, currently we classify all of our investment securities as available for sale. This classification provides us the opportunity to divest of securities that may no longer meet our liquidity objectives. We account for investment securities at fair value and report the unrealized appreciation and depreciation as a separate component of stockholders’ equity, net of income tax effects. Although we may sell securities to reposition the portfolio, generally, we invest in securities for the yield they produce and not to profit from trading the securities. We continually evaluate our investment portfolio to ensure it is adequately diversified, provides sufficient cash flow and does not subject us to undue interest rate risk. There are no trading securities in our portfolio.

 

52

The investment securities at June 30, 2018 amounted to $209.9 million, a decrease of $8.4 million, or 3.85%, from the December 31, 2017 amount of $218.4 million. As outlined above, at June 30, 2018, all securities are classified as available for sale.

 

We acquired a total of $55.8 million of investment securities as a result of the BYBK merger. We sold approximately $51.7 million of securities of the $55.8 million in securities that we acquired immediately after the closing of the merger, resulting in no gain or loss on such sales.

 

The fair value of available for sale securities included net unrealized losses of $8.6 million at June 30, 2018 (reflected as $6.3 million net of taxes) compared to net unrealized losses of $3.9 million (reflected as $2.3 million net of taxes) at December 31, 2017. The decline in the value of the investment securities is due to the increase in market interest rates, which resulted in a decrease in bond values. We have evaluated securities with unrealized losses for an extended period of time and determined that all such losses are temporary because, at this point in time, we expect to hold them until maturity. We have no intent or plan to sell these securities, it is not likely that we will have to sell these securities and we have not identified any portion of the loss that is a result of credit deterioration in the issuer of the security. As the maturity date moves closer and/or interest rates decline, any unrealized losses in the portfolio will decline or dissipate.

 

Loan Portfolio. Net of allowance, unearned fees and origination costs, loans held for investment increased $651.5 million, or 38.40%, during the six months ended June 30, 2018, bringing the balance to $2.3 billion at June 30, 2018 compared to $1.7 billion at December 31, 2017. The loan growth during 2018 was due to the loans that we acquired from BYBK as well as organic growth resulting from the addition of several experienced loan officers to our team since June 30, 2017 and our enhanced presence in our market area. Commercial real estate loans increased by $346.0 million, residential real estate loans increased by $185.9 million, commercial and industrial loans increased by $120.3 million, and consumer loans decreased by $297 thousand from their respective balances at December 31, 2017 Excluding the loans acquired in the BYBK acquisition, net loans held for investment during the six month period increased by $188.5 million; the acquisition of the Bay loan portfolio accounted for approximately $507 million of the growth in net loans held for investment during the six month period ended June 30, 2018.

 

Most of our lending activity occurs within the state of Maryland in the suburban Washington, D.C. and Baltimore market areas in Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Baltimore County, Calvert, Carroll, Charles, Frederick, Harford, Howard, Montgomery, Prince George’s and St. Mary’s Counties. The majority of our loan portfolio consists of commercial real estate loans and residential real estate loans.

_______________________

(1) As a result of the acquisitions of Maryland Bankcorp, WSB Holdings, Regal Bancorp, DCB and Bay Bancorp, we have segmented the portfolio into two components, “Legacy” loans originated by Old Line Bank and “Acquired” loans acquired from MB&T, WSB, Regal Bank, Damascus and Bay Bank.

 

Bank Owned Life Insurance (“BOLI”) . At June 30, 2018, we have invested $67.0 million in life insurance policies on our executive officers, other officers of Old Line Bank, retired officers of MB&T and former officers of WSB, Regal Bank, Damascus and Bay Bank. Bank owned life insurance increased $25.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018, primary due to $16.3 million of bank owned life insurance acquired in the BYBK acquisition and $8.5 million in new BOLI policies. The increase also includes interest earned on these policies. Gross earnings on BOLI were $754 thousand during the six months ended June 30, 2018, which earnings were partially offset by $123 thousand in expenses associated with the policies, for total net earnings of $631 thousand in 2018. We anticipate that the earnings on these policies will continue to help offset our employee benefit expenses as well as our obligations under our salary continuation agreements and supplemental life insurance agreements that we have entered into with our executive officers as well as that MB&T and WSB had entered into with their executive officers. There are no post-retirement death benefits associated with the BOLI policies owned by Old Line Bank prior to the acquisition of MB&T. We have accrued a $201 thousand liability associated with the post-retirement death benefits of the BOLI policies acquired from MB&T and there are no such benefits related to the BOLI policies acquired from WSB, Regal Bank, Damascus or BYBK.

 

Annuity Plan . Our annuity plan is an interest earning investment that we purchased to fund a new supplemental retirement plan and amendments to existing retirement plans that will provide lifetime payments to two of our executive officers; we entered into these new agreements as of May 7, 2018, as described in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2018. We invested $6.0 million during the fourth quarter of 2017 and the annuity plan was effective January 1, 2018. The annuity plan was valued at $6.3 million at June 30, 2018.

 

Deposits . Deposits increased $554.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018 to $2.2 billion, compared to $1.7 billion at December 31, 2017. The increase is comprised of a $151.5 million increase in our non-interest bearing deposits and a $403.3 million increase in our interest bearing deposits. These increases are due almost entirely to the deposits acquired from BYBK, which accounted for $541.4 million of the $554.8 million increase.

 

54

The following table outlines the changes in interest bearing deposits:

 

    June 30,   December 31,        
    2018   2017   $ Change   % Change
    (Dollars in thousands)
Certificates of deposit   $ 690,454     $ 530,027     $ 160,427       30.27 %
Interest bearing checking     685,200       538,102       147,098       27.34  
Savings     228,766       132,971       95,795       72.04  
Total   $ 1,604,420     $ 1,201,100     $ 403,320       33.58 %

 

We acquire brokered certificates of deposit and money market accounts through the Promontory Interfinancial Network (“Promontory”). Through this deposit matching network and its certificate of deposit account registry service (CDARS) and money market account service, we have the ability to offer our customers access to Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) insured deposit products in aggregate amounts exceeding current insurance limits. When we place funds through Promontory on behalf of a customer, we receive matching deposits through the network’s reciprocal deposit program. We can also place deposits through this network without receiving matching deposits. At June 30, 2018, we had $44.4 million in CDARS and $160.5 million in money market accounts through Promontory’s reciprocal deposit program compared to $49.2 million and $144.9 million, respectively, at December 31, 2017.

 

We do not currently have any brokered certificates of deposits other than CDARS. Old Line Bank did not obtain any brokered certificates of deposit during the six months ended June 30, 2018. We may, however, use brokered deposits in the future as an element of our funding strategy if and when required to maintain an acceptable loan to deposit ratio.

 

Borrowings. Short term borrowings consist of short term borrowings with the FHLB and short term promissory notes issued to Old Line Bank’s commercial customers as an enhancement to the basic non-interest bearing demand deposit account. This service electronically sweeps excess funds from the customer’s account into a short term promissory note with Old Line Bank. These obligations are payable on demand and are secured by investments. At June 30, 2018, we had $275.0 million outstanding in short term FHLB borrowings, compared to $155.0 million at December 31, 2017. At June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we had no unsecured promissory notes and $39.7 million and $37.6 million, respectively, in secured promissory notes.

 

Long term borrowings at June 30, 2018 consist primarily of the Notes in the amount of $35.0 million (fair value of $34.1 million) due in 2026. The initial interest rate on the Notes is 5.625% per annum from August 15, 2016 to August 14, 2021, payable semi-annually on each February 15 and August 15. Beginning August 15, 2021, the interest rate will reset quarterly to an interest rate per annum equal to the then current three-month LIBOR rate plus 450.2 basis points, payable quarterly on each February 15, May 15, August 15 and November 15 through maturity or early redemption. Also included in long term borrowings are trust preferred subordinated debentures totaling $4.1 million (net of $2.6 million fair value adjustment) we acquired in the Regal acquisition. The trust preferred subordinated debentures consists of two trusts – Trust 1 in the amount of $4.0 million (fair value adjustment of $1.4 million) with an interest rate of floating 90-day LIBOR plus 2.85%, maturing in 2034 and Trust 2 in the amount of $2.5 million (fair value adjustment $1.2 million) with an interest rate of floating 90-day LIBOR plus 1.60%, maturing in 2035.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources . Our overall asset/liability strategy takes into account our need to maintain adequate liquidity to fund asset growth and deposit runoff. Our management monitors the liquidity position daily in conjunction with regulatory guidelines. As further discussed below, we have credit lines, unsecured and secured, available from several correspondent banks totaling $75.0 million. Additionally, we may borrow funds from the FHLB and the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond. We can use these credit facilities in conjunction with the normal deposit strategies, which include pricing changes to increase deposits as necessary. We can also sell available for sale investment securities or pledge investment securities as collateral to create additional liquidity. From time to time we may sell or participate out loans to create additional liquidity as required. Additional sources of liquidity include funds held in time deposits and cash flow from the investment and loan portfolios.

 

Our immediate sources of liquidity are cash and due from banks, federal funds sold and deposits in other banks. On June 30, 2018, we had $61.7 million in cash and due from banks, $3.8 million in interest bearing accounts, and $928 thousand in federal funds sold. As of December 31, 2017, we had $33.6 million in cash and due from banks, $1.4 million in interest bearing accounts, and $257 thousand in federal funds sold.

55

Old Line Bank has sufficient liquidity to meet its loan commitments as well as fluctuations in deposits. We usually retain maturing certificates of deposit as we offer competitive rates on certificates of deposit. Management is not aware of any demands, trends, commitments, or events that would result in Old Line Bank’s inability to meet anticipated or unexpected liquidity needs.

 

We did not have any unusual liquidity requirements during the six months ended June 30, 2018. Although we plan for various liquidity scenarios, if turmoil in the financial markets occurs and our depositors lose confidence in us, we could experience liquidity issues.

 

Old Line Bancshares has available a $5.0 million unsecured line of credit at June 30, 2018. In addition, Old Line Bank has $70.0 million in available lines of credit at June 30, 2018, consisting of overnight federal funds of $65.0 million and repurchase agreements of $5.0 million from its correspondent banks. Old Line Bank has an additional secured line of credit from the FHLB of $388.0 million at June 30, 2018. As a condition of obtaining the line of credit from the FHLB, the FHLB requires that Old Line Bank purchase shares of capital stock in the FHLB. Prior to allowing Old Line Bank to borrow under the line of credit, the FHLB also requires that Old Line Bank provide collateral to support borrowings. Therefore, we have provided collateral to support up to $369.9 million in lendable collateral value for FHLB borrowings. We may increase availability by providing additional collateral. Additionally, we have overnight repurchase agreements sold to Old Line Bank’s customers and have provided collateral in the form of investment securities to support the $39.7 million in repurchase agreements.

 

In July 2013, the Federal Reserve Board and the FDIC adopted rules implementing Basel III. Under the rules, which became effective January 1, 2015, minimum requirements increased for both the quantity and quality of capital held by Old Line Bancshares and Old Line Bank. Among other things, the rules established a new minimum common equity Tier 1 capital for risk-weighted assets ratio of 4.5%, a minimum Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6.0%, a minimum total risk-based capital ratio requirement of 8.0% and a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4.0%. These capital requirements also included changes in the risk-weights of certain assets to better reflect credit risk and other risk exposures. Additionally, subject to a transition schedule, the rule limits a banking organization’s ability to make capital distributions, engage in share repurchases and pay certain discretionary bonus payments if the banking organization does not hold a “capital conservation buffer” consisting of 2.5% of common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets in addition to the amount necessary to meet its minimum risk-based capital requirements. Implementation of the capital conservation buffer began on January 1, 2016 at the 0.625% level and will increase ratably each subsequent January 1, until it reaches 2.5% on January 1, 2019. Old Line Bank has elected to permanently opt out of the inclusion of accumulated other comprehensive income in our capital calculations, as permitted by the regulations. This opt-out will reduce the impact of market volatility on our regulatory capital levels.

 

As of June 30, 2018, Old Line Bancshares’ capital levels remained characterized as “well-capitalized” under the rules.

 

Current regulations require subsidiaries of a financial institution to be separately capitalized and require investments in and extensions of credit to any subsidiary engaged in activities not permissible for a bank to be deducted in the computation of the institution’s regulatory capital. Regulatory capital and regulatory assets below also reflect increases of $8.6 million and $6.3 million, respectively, which represents unrealized losses (after-tax for capital additions and pre-tax for asset additions, respectively) on mortgage-backed securities and investment securities classified as available for sale. In addition, the risk-based capital reflects an increase of $6.7 million for the general loan loss reserve during the six months ended June 30, 2018.

 

As of June 30, 2018, Old Line Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to be considered well capitalized. There were no conditions or events since the end of the second quarter of 2018 that management believes have changed Old Line Bank’s classification as well capitalized.

56

The following table shows Old Line Bank’s regulatory capital ratios and the minimum capital ratios currently required by its banking regulator to be “well capitalized” at June 30, 2018.

 

 

 

            Minimum capital   To be well
    Actual   adequacy   capitalized
June 30, 2018   Amount   Ratio   Amount   Ratio   Amount   Ratio
    (Dollars in 000’s)
Common equity tier 1 (to risk-weighted assets)   $ 281,691       10.95 %   $ 115,762       4.5 %   $ 167,211       6.5 %
Total capital (to risk weighted assets)   $ 288,472       11.21 %   $ 205,798       8 %   $ 257,248       10 %
Tier 1 capital (to risk weighted assets)   $ 281,691       10.95 %   $ 154,349       6 %   $ 205,798       8 %

Our management believes that, under current regulations, and eliminating the assets of Old Line Bancshares, Old Line Bank remains well capitalized and will continue to meet its minimum capital requirements in the foreseeable future. However, events beyond our control, such as a shift in interest rates or an economic downturn in areas where we extend credit, could adversely affect future earnings and, consequently, our ability to meet minimum capital requirements in the future.

 

Asset Quality

 

Overview . Management performs reviews of all delinquent loans and foreclosed assets and directs relationship officers to work with customers to resolve potential credit issues in a timely manner. Management reports to the Bank’s Loan Committee weekly and requests its approval for loans that require such approval pursuant to our loan policies. Management also reports to the board of directors with respect to certain loan matters on a monthly basis. Such reports include, among other things, information on delinquent loans and foreclosed real estate. We have formal action plans on criticized assets and provide status reports on OREO on a quarterly basis. These action plans include our actions and plans to cure the delinquent status of the loans and to dispose of foreclosed properties. The Loan Committee consists of four executive officers and four non-employee members of the board of directors.

 

We classify any property acquired as a result of foreclosure on a mortgage loan as OREO and record it at the lower of the unpaid principal balance or fair value at the date of acquisition and subsequently carry the property at the lower of cost or net realizable value. We charge any required write down of the loan to its net realizable value against the allowance for loan losses at the time of foreclosure. We charge to expense any subsequent adjustments to net realizable value. Upon foreclosure, Old Line Bank generally requires an appraisal of the property and, thereafter, appraisals of the property generally on an annual basis and external inspections on at least a quarterly basis.

 

As required by ASC Topic 310- Receivables and ASC Topic 450- Contingencies , we measure all impaired loans, which consist of all modified loans (TDRs) and other loans for which collection of all contractual principal and interest is not probable, based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, or at the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. If the measure of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, we recognize impairment through a valuation allowance and corresponding provision for loan losses. Old Line Bank considers consumer loans as homogenous loans and thus does not apply the impairment test to these loans. We write off impaired loans when collection of the loan is doubtful.

 

Potential problem loans represent those loans with a well-defined weakness and where information about possible credit problems of a borrower has caused management to have serious doubts about the borrower’s ability to comply with present repayment terms. These loans do not meet the criteria for, and are therefore not included in, nonperforming assets. Management, however, classifies potential problem loans as either special mention, watch, or substandard. These loans were considered in determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and are closely and regularly monitored to protect our interests. Potential problem loans, which are not included in nonperforming assets, amounted to $34.5 million at June 30, 2018 compared to $28.9 million at December 31, 2017. At June 30, 2018, we had $15.7 million and $18.8 million, respectively, of potential problem loans attributable to our legacy and acquired loan portfolios, compared to $16.4 million and $12.5 million, respectively, at December 31, 2017.

Acquired Loans . Loans acquired in mergers are recorded at estimated fair value on their purchase date with no carryover of the related allowance for loan losses. Generally accepted accounting principles require that we record acquired loans at fair value, which includes a discount for loans with credit impairment. These loans are not performing according to their contractual terms and meet our definition of a nonperforming loan. The discounts that arise from recording these loans at fair value were due to credit quality. Although we do not accrue interest income at the contractual rate on these loans, we may accrete these discounts to interest income as a result of pre-payments that exceed our expectations or payment in full of amounts due. Purchased, credit-impaired loans that perform consistent with the accretable yield expectations are not reported as non-accrual or nonperforming.

 

We recorded at fair value all acquired loans from MB&T, WSB, Regal Bank, Damascus and Bay Bank. The fair value of the acquired loans includes expected loan losses, and as a result there was no allowance for loan losses recorded for acquired loans at the time of acquisition. Accordingly, the existence of the acquired loans reduces the ratios of the allowance for loan losses to total gross loans and the allowance for loan losses to non-accrual loans, and this measure is not directly comparable to prior periods. Similarly, net loan charge-offs are normally lower for acquired loans since we recorded these loans net of expected loan losses. Therefore, the ratio of net charge-offs during the period to average loans outstanding is reduced as a result of the existence of acquired loans, and the measures are not directly comparable to prior periods. Other institutions may not have acquired loans, and therefore there may be no direct comparability of these ratios between and among other institutions when compared in total.

 

Applicable accounting guidance requires that if we experience a decrease in the expected cash flows of a loan subsequent to its acquisition date, we establish an allowance for loan losses for such acquired loan with decreased cash flows. At June 30, 2018, there was $260 thousand of allowance reserved for potential loan losses on acquired loans compared to $182 thousand at December 31, 2017.

 

Nonperforming Assets . As of June 30, 2018, our nonperforming assets totaled $5.4 million and consisted of $2.6 million of nonaccrual loans, $539 thousand of loans past due 90 days and still accruing and OREO of $2.4 million.

_______________________

(1) Generally accepted accounting principles require that we record acquired loans at fair value, which includes a discount for loans with credit impairment. These loans are not performing according to their contractual terms and meet our definition of a non-performing loan. The discounts that arise from recording these loans at fair value were due to credit quality. Although we do not accrue interest income at the contractual rate on these loans, we may accrete these discounts to interest income as a result of pre-payments that exceed our cash flow expectations or payment in full of amounts due even though we classify them as 90 or more days past due.

 

Non-accrual legacy loans at June 30, 2018 increased $268 thousand from December 31, 2017, due to the addition of one commercial real estate land and acquisition and development loan.

 

Non-accrual acquired loans at June 30, 2018 increased $517 thousand from December 31, 2017 primarily due to the addition of one residential owner occupied real estate loan.

 

At June 30, 2018, there was no legacy OREO. We sold the $425 thousand of OREO that we had on December 31, 2017 during the quarter ended June 30, 2018.

 

Acquired OREO at June 30, 2018, increased $779 thousand from December 31, 2017, as a result of the BYBK acquisition, offsetting the sale of three OREO properties during the period.

 

Allowance for Loan Losses . We review the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses at least quarterly. Our review includes evaluation of impaired loans as required by ASC Topic 310- Receivables , and ASC Topic 450- Contingencies . Also incorporated in determining the adequacy of the allowance is guidance contained in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 102, Loan Loss Allowance Methodology and Documentation, the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council’s Policy Statement on Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses Methodologies and Documentation for Banks and Savings Institutions and the Interagency Policy Statement on the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses. We also continue to measure the credit impairment at each period end on all loans that have been classified as a TDR using the guidance in ASC 310-10-35.

 

We have risk management practices designed to ensure timely identification of changes in loan risk profiles. Undetected losses, however, inherently exist within the portfolio. Although we may allocate specific portions of the allowance for specific loans or other factors, the entire allowance is available for any loans that we should charge off. We will not create a specific valuation allowance unless we consider a loan impaired.

The ratios of the allowance for loan losses are as follows:

 

    June 30, 2018   December 31, 2017
Ratio of allowance for loan losses to:                
Total gross loans held for investment     0.29 %     0.35 %
Non-accrual loans     262.92 %     335.51 %
Net charge-offs to average loans     0.01 %     0.08 %

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we charged off $166 thousand in loans through the allowance for loan losses.

 

The allowance for loan losses represented 0.29% and 0.35% of gross loans held for investment at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively and 0.43% and 0.42% of legacy loans at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. We have no exposure to foreign countries or foreign borrowers. Based on our analysis and the satisfactory historical performance of the loan portfolio, we believe this allowance appropriately reflects the inherent risk of loss in our portfolio.

61

Overall, we continue to believe that the loan portfolio remains manageable in terms of charge-offs and nonperforming assets as a percentage of total loans. We remain diligent and aware of our credit costs and the impact that these can have on our financial institution, and we have taken proactive measures to identify problem loans, including in-house and independent review of larger transactions. Our policy for evaluating problem loans includes obtaining new certified real estate appraisals as needed. We continue to monitor and review frequently the overall asset quality within the loan portfolio.

 

C ontractual Obligations, Commitments, Contingent Liabilities, and Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

 

Old Line Bancshares is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business. These financial instruments primarily include commitments to extend credit, lines of credit and standby letters of credit. Old Line Bancshares uses these financial instruments to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate, and liquidity risk. These commitments do not represent unusual risks and management does not anticipate any losses that would have a material effect on Old Line Bancshares. Old Line Bancshares also has operating lease obligations.

 

Outstanding loan commitments and lines and letters of credit at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, are as follows:

 

    June 30, 2018   December 31, 2017
    (Dollars in thousands)
         
Commitments to extend credit and available credit lines:                
Commercial   $ 190,883     $ 132,246  
Real estate-undisbursed development and construction     188,583       132,855  
Consumer     84,175       41,151  
Total   $ 463,641     $ 306,252  
Standby letters of credit   $ 12,618     $ 12,362  

 

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Old Line Bancshares generally requires collateral to support financial instruments with credit risk on the same basis as it does for on balance sheet instruments. The collateral is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. Commitments generally have interest rates fixed at current market rates, expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Available credit lines represent the unused portion of lines of credit previously extended and available to the customer so long as there is no violation of any contractual condition. These lines generally have variable interest rates. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, and since it is unlikely that all customers will draw upon their lines of credit in full at any time, the total commitment amount or line of credit amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. We evaluate each customer’s credit worthiness on a case by case basis. We regularly reevaluate many of our commitments to extend credit. Because we conservatively underwrite these facilities at inception, we generally do not have to withdraw any commitments. We are not aware of any loss that we would incur by funding our commitments or lines of credit.

 

Commitments for real estate development and construction, which totaled $188.6 million, or 40.68% of the $463.6 million of outstanding commitments at June 30, 2018, are generally short term and turn over rapidly with principal repayment from permanent financing arrangements upon completion of construction or from sales of the properties financed.

 

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Our exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the customer is the contract amount of the commitment. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. In general, loan commitments, credit lines and letters of credit are made on the same terms, including with respect to collateral, as outstanding loans. We evaluate each customer’s credit worthiness and the collateral required on a case by case basis.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures

 

As the magnitude of the merger expenses distorts our operational results, we present in the GAAP reconciliation below and in the accompanying text certain performance measures excluding the effect of the merger expenses during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2018.

Non-GAAP financial measures included in this quarterly report should be read along with these tables providing a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to U.S. GAAP financial measures. The Company’s management believes that the non-GAAP financial measures provide additional useful information that allows readers to evaluate the ongoing performance of the Company and provide meaningful comparison to its peers. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be consider as an alternative to any measure of performance or financial condition as promulgated under U.S. GAAP, and investors should consider the Company’s performance and financial condition as reported under U.S. GAAP and all other relevant information when assessing the performance or financial condition of the Company. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and investors should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the results or financial condition as reported under U.S. GAAP.

 

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

 

Management has prepared the financial statements and related data presented herein in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars, without considering changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation.

 

Unlike industrial companies, virtually all the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a more significant impact on a financial institution’s performance than the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or in the same magnitude as the price of goods and services, and may frequently reflect government policy initiatives or economic factors not measured by a price index. As discussed above, we strive to manage our interest sensitive assets and liabilities in order to offset the effects of rate changes and inflation.

 

Information Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 

This report contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). We may also include forward-looking statements in other statements that we make. All statements that are not descriptions of historical facts are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements often use words such as “believe,” “expect,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “project,” “contemplate,” “anticipate,” “forecast,” “intend” or other words of similar meaning. You can also identify them by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts.

 

The forward-looking statements presented herein with respect to, among other things: (a) our objectives, expectations and intentions, including (i) that, going forward, the recent BYBK acquisition will generate increased earnings and increased returns for our stockholders, (ii) anticipated increases in certain non-interest expenses and that net interest income will continue to increase during the remainder of 2018, (iii) the amount of potential problem loans, (iv) our belief that we have identified any problem assets and that our borrowers will continue to remain current on their loans, (v) expected losses on and our intentions with respect to our investment securities, (vi) continued earnings on bank owned life insurance, (vii) expanding fee income and generating extensions of core banking services, (viii) hiring and acquisition possibilities, (ix) expected settlement on acquired loans available for sale in the third quarter of 2018, and (x) cash flows we expect to receive on impaired loans we acquired from Bay Bank; (b) sources of and sufficiency of liquidity; (c) the impact of outstanding off-balance sheet commitments; (d) the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses; (e) expected loan, deposit, balance sheet and earnings growth; (f)  expectations with respect to the impact of pending legal proceedings; (g) the anticipated impact of recent accounting pronouncements; (h) continuing to meet regulatory capital requirements; (i) improving earnings per share and stockholder value; and (j) financial and other goals and plans.

 

Old Line Bancshares bases these statements on our beliefs, assumptions and on information available to us as of the date of this filing, which involves risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties include, among others: our ability to retain key personnel; our ability to successfully implement our growth and expansion strategy; risk of loan losses; that the allowance for loan losses may not be sufficient; that changes in interest rates and monetary policy could adversely affect Old Line Bancshares; that changes in regulatory requirements and/or restrictive banking legislation may adversely affect Old Line Bancshares; that the market value of our investments could negatively impact stockholders’ equity; risks associated with our lending limit; expenses associated with operating as a public company; potential conflicts of interest associated with our interest in Pointer Ridge; deterioration in general economic conditions or a return to recessionary conditions; and changes in competitive, governmental, regulatory, technological and other factors that may affect us specifically or the banking industry generally; and other risks otherwise discussed in this report.

 

65

In addition, our statements with respect to the anticipated effects of the BYBK acquisition are subject to the following additional risks and uncertainties: BYBK’s business may not be integrated successfully with ours or such integration may be more difficult, time consuming or costly than expected; expected revenue synergies and cost savings from the Merger may not be fully realized or realized within the expected timeframe; revenues following the Merger may be lower than expected; and customer and employee relationships and business operations may be disrupted by the Merger.

 

For a more complete discussion of some of these risks and uncertainties referred to above, see “Risk Factors” in Old Line Bancshares’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

 

Old Line Bancshares’ actual results and the actual outcome of our expectations and strategies could differ materially from those anticipated or estimated because of these risks and uncertainties and you should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this filing, and Old Line Bancshares undertakes no obligation to update the forward-looking statements to reflect factual assumptions, circumstances or events that have changed after we have made the forward-looking statements.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

Market risk is the exposure to economic loss that arises from changes in the values of certain financial instruments. Various factors, including interest rates, foreign exchange rates, commodity prices, or equity prices, may cause these changes. We are subject to market risk primarily through the effect of changes in interest rates on our portfolio of assets and liabilities. Foreign exchange rates, commodity prices, or equity prices do not pose significant market risk to us. Due to the nature of our operations, only interest rate risk is significant to our consolidated results of operations or financial position. We have no material changes in our quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk as of June 30, 2018 from that presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

 

Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis and Interest Rate Risk Management

 

A principal objective of Old Line Bank’s asset/liability management policy is to minimize exposure to changes in interest rates by an ongoing review of the maturity and re-pricing of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities.

 

The tables below present Old Line Bank’s interest rate sensitivity at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. Because certain categories of securities and loans are prepaid before their maturity date even without regard to interest rate fluctuations, we have made certain assumptions to calculate the expected maturity of securities and loans.

Exhibit 10.1

 

SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE

OLD LINE BANK

SALARY CONTINUATION AGREEMENT

 

WHEREAS, Old Line Bank, (the “ Bank ”) and James Cornelsen, (the “ Executive ”) previously entered into the Old Line Bank Salary Continuation Agreement, originally effective as of January 1 st , 2006 (the “ Agreement ” or “ Plan ”); and

WHEREAS, the Agreement is designed to provide retirement benefits to the Executive upon certain enumerated events, payable out of the Bank’s general assets; and

WHEREAS, the Bank and the Executive have agreed to amend the Agreement to provide additional benefits per this Amendment.

NOW, THEREFORE, effective May 7, 2018 (the “ Effective Date ”), the Bank and the Executive hereby amend the Agreement as follows:

 

  1. Annuity Contract and Other Investments . For purposes of satisfying its obligations to provide benefits under the Plan and this Amendment, the Bank has invested in a Flexible Premium Indexed Deferred Annuity Contract issued by _________________ Insurance Company, contract #________ (the “ Annuity Contract ”), and may invest in such other annuity contracts (a) as the Bank may purchase from time to time in accordance with the Plan, the income value of which the Bank intends to serve as the measure of the Plan benefit for Executive and (b) are identified by Policy number in writing by the Bank as an “Annuity Contract” under the Plan. However, nothing in this Section shall require the Bank to invest in any particular form of investment. The Bank is the sole owner of the Annuity Contract, and other such investments, and shall have the right to exercise all incidents of ownership, shall be the beneficiary of any death proceeds and shall at all times be entitled to the Annuity Contract’s cash surrender value. Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, the Bank shall have the right to sell or surrender any Annuity Contract without terminating the Plan and this Amendment, provided the Bank replaces the Annuity Contract with a comparable annuity policy or asset of comparable value, with a comparable lifetime withdrawal feature and comparable benefit value.  Without limitation, the Annuity Contract at all times shall be the exclusive property of the Bank and shall be subject to the claims of the Bank’s creditors.

 

1  

 

  1. Provision of Benefits for the Normal Retirement Benefit . In the event that benefits become payable under paragraph 2.1 of the Plan, the benefit amount shall be determined in accordance with the Plan and shall be paid in accordance with the terms of the Plan (the “ Original Retirement Benefit ”). A separate benefit amount shall be determined equal to the amount that is paid from the Annuity Contract designated under this Amendment through the cash withdrawal rider and shall commence at the same time as the Original Retirement Benefit, payable for the life of the Executive (the “ Lifetime Retirement Benefit ”). During the period that the Original Retirement Benefit amount is payable, the Original Retirement Benefit amount shall be offset by the Lifetime Retirement Benefit amount. In all respects other than the offset, the Original Retirement Benefit shall be paid in accordance with the terms of the Plan in a manner consistent therewith and with Section 409A of the Code. In addition, during the period that the Original Retirement Benefit amount is payable, the amount of the Lifetime Retirement Benefit that is equal to the Original Retirement Benefit shall be paid in accordance with the terms of the Original Retirement Benefit in a manner consistent the Plan and with Section 409A of the Code.

 

  1. Provision of Benefits for the Early Termination Benefit . In the event that benefits become payable under paragraph 2.2 of the Plan, the benefit amount shall be determined in accordance with the Plan and shall be paid in accordance with the terms of the Plan (the “ Original Early Termination Benefit ”). A separate benefit amount shall be determined equal to a portion of the amount that is paid from the Annuity Contract, as described below, designated under this Amendment through the cash withdrawal rider and shall commence at the same time as the Original Early Termination Benefit, payable for the life of the Executive (the “ Lifetime Early Termination Benefit ”). During the period that the Original Early Termination Benefit amount is payable, the Original Early Termination Benefit amount shall be offset by the Lifetime Early Termination Benefit amount. In all respects other than the offset, the Original Early Termination Benefit shall be paid in accordance with the terms of the Plan in a manner consistent therewith and with Section 409A of the Code. In addition, during the period that the Original Early Termination Benefit amount is payable, the amount of the Lifetime Early Termination Benefit that is equal to the Original Early Termination Benefit shall be paid in accordance with the terms of the Original Early Termination Benefit in a manner consistent the Plan and with Section 409A of the Code.
    1. The portion of the amount that is paid from the Annuity Contract is a percentage of the amount that is paid from the Annuity Contract through the Rider at Normal Retirement Age. This percentage is the ratio of the Account Balance on the Early Retirement Date to the projected Account Balance at Normal Retirement Age.

 

2

SALARY CONTINUATION PLAN AGREEMENT (2014)

 

WHEREAS, Old Line Bank, (the “ Bank ”) and Mark Semanie, (the “ Executive ”) previously entered into the Old Line Bank Salary Continuation Plan Agreement (2014), originally effective as of March 27, 2014 (the “ Agreement ” or “ Plan ”); and

WHEREAS, the Agreement is designed to provide retirement benefits to the Executive upon certain enumerated events, payable out of the Bank’s general assets; and

WHEREAS, the Bank and the Executive have agreed to amend the Agreement to provide additional benefits per this Amendment.

NOW, THEREFORE, effective May 7, 2018 (the “ Effective Date ”), the Bank and the Executive hereby amend the Agreement as follows:

 

  1. Annuity Contract and Other Investments . For purposes of satisfying its obligations to provide benefits under the Plan and this Amendment, the Bank has invested in a Flexible Premium Indexed Deferred Annuity Contract issued by _________________ Insurance Company, contract #________ (the “ Annuity Contract(s) ”), and may invest in such other annuity contracts (a) as the Bank may purchase from time to time in accordance with the Plan, the income value of which the Bank intends to serve as the measure of the Plan benefit for Executive and (b) are identified by Policy number in writing by the Bank as an “Annuity Contract” under the Plan. However, nothing in this Section shall require the Bank to invest in any particular form of investment. The Bank is the sole owner of the Annuity Contract, and other such investments, and shall have the right to exercise all incidents of ownership, shall be the beneficiary of any death proceeds and shall at all times be entitled to the Annuity Contract’s cash surrender value. Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, the Bank shall have the right to sell or surrender any Annuity Contract without terminating the Plan and this Amendment, provided the Bank replaces the Annuity Contract with a comparable annuity policy or asset of comparable value, with a comparable lifetime withdrawal feature and comparable benefit value.  Without limitation, the Annuity Contract at all times shall be the exclusive property of the Bank and shall be subject to the claims of the Bank’s creditors.

 

1  

 

  1. Provision of Benefits for the Normal Retirement Benefit . In the event that benefits become payable under paragraph 3.1 of the Plan, the benefit amount shall be determined in accordance with the Plan and shall be paid in accordance with the terms of the Plan (the “ Original Retirement Benefit ”). A separate benefit amount shall be determined equal to the amount that is paid from the Annuity Contract designated under this Amendment through the cash withdrawal rider and shall commence at the same time as the Original Retirement Benefit, payable to the Executive for the life of the Executive (the “ Lifetime Retirement Benefit ”). During the period that the Original Retirement Benefit amount is payable, the Original Retirement Benefit amount shall be offset by the Lifetime Retirement Benefit amount. In all respects other than the offset, the Original Retirement Benefit shall be paid in accordance with the terms of the Plan in a manner consistent therewith and with Section 409A of the Code. In addition, during the period that the Original Retirement Benefit amount is payable, the amount of the Lifetime Retirement Benefit that is equal to the Original Retirement Benefit shall be paid in accordance with the terms of the Original Retirement Benefit in a manner consistent the Plan and with Section 409A of the Code.

 

  1. Provision of Benefits for the Separation from Service Benefit . In the event that benefits become payable under paragraph 3.5 of the Plan, the benefit amount shall be determined in accordance with the Plan and shall be paid in accordance with the terms of the Plan (the “ Original Early Separation Benefit ”). A separate benefit amount shall be determined equal to a portion of the amount that is paid from the Annuity Contract, as described below, designated under this Amendment through the cash withdrawal rider and shall commence at the same time as the Original Early Separation Benefit, payable to the Executive for the life of the Executive (the “ Lifetime Early Separation Benefit ”). During the period that the Original Early Separation Benefit amount is payable, the Original Early Separation Benefit amount shall be offset by the Lifetime Early Separation Benefit amount. In all respects other than the offset, the Original Early Separation Benefit shall be paid in accordance with the terms of the Plan in a manner consistent therewith and with Section 409A of the Code. In addition, during the period that the Original Early Separation Benefit amount is payable, the amount of the Lifetime Early Separation Benefit that is equal to the Original Early Separation Benefit shall be paid in accordance with the terms of the Original Early Separation Benefit in a manner consistent the Plan and with Section 409A of the Code.
    1. The portion of the amount that is paid from the Annuity Contract is a percentage of the amount that is paid from the Annuity Contract through the Rider at Normal Retirement Age. This percentage is the ratio of the Account Balance on the Early Retirement Date to the projected Account Balance at Normal Retirement Age.

 

2  

 

  1. Provision of Benefits for Change in Control . In the event that benefits become payable under paragraph 3.6 of the Plan, the benefit amount shall be determined in accordance with the Plan and shall be paid in accordance with the terms of the Plan. Notwithstanding the preceding, if the Executive has previously elected a lump sum payment in lieu of receiving one hundred eighty (180) equal monthly installments in the case of a Separation from Service within 24 months following the Change in Control, the Bank shall transfer ownership of the Annuity Contracts to the Executive and this transfer of ownership shall be payment in kind and payment in full of the Executive’s Change in Control Benefit. In this event, the Executive shall become the sole owner of the Annuity Contracts and shall have the right to exercise all incidents of ownership, shall have the right to name the beneficiary of any death proceeds and shall at all times be entitled to the Annuity Contracts’ cash surrender value. This transfer of ownership of the Annuity Contracts shall occur at the time as provided in paragraph 3.6 of the Plan.

 

  1. Provision of Benefits for the Disability Benefit . In the event that benefits become payable under paragraph 3.4 of the Plan, the benefit amount shall be determined in accordance with the Plan and shall be paid in accordance with the terms of the Plan (the “ Original Disability Benefit ”). A separate benefit amount shall be determined equal to a portion of the amount that is paid from the Annuity Contract, as described below, designated under this Amendment through the cash withdrawal rider and shall commence at the same time as the Original Disability Benefit, payable to the Executive for the life of the Executive (the “ Lifetime Disability Benefit ”). During the period that the Original Disability Benefit amount is payable, the Original Disability Benefit amount shall be offset by the Lifetime Disability Benefit amount. In all respects other than the offset, the Original Disability Benefit shall be paid in accordance with the terms of the Plan in a manner consistent therewith and with Section 409A of the Code. In addition, during the period that the Original Disability Benefit amount is payable, the amount of the Lifetime Disability Benefit that is equal to the Original Disability Benefit shall be paid in accordance with the terms of the Original Disability Benefit in a manner consistent the Plan and with Section 409A of the Code.
    1. The portion of the amount that is paid from the Annuity Contract is a percentage of the amount that is paid from the Annuity Contract through the Rider at Normal Retirement Age. This percentage is the ratio of the Account Balance on the Early Retirement Date to the projected Account Balance at Normal Retirement Age.

  1. Right to Purchase Asset . In the event any governmental agency having jurisdiction over the Bank has declared the Bank to be troubled, critically undercapitalized, received a CAMELS rating of 5, willfully violating a Cease and Desist Order or operating in an unsafe or unsound manner, the Executive shall be given a first right to purchase the Annuity Contracts as defined in the Agreement. Such offer will be made to the Executive in writing within thirty (30) days of such declaration by the governmental agency and Executive will have until sixty (60) days from the date of the offer to complete the purchase, after which the offer will be withdrawn. In this case, the Executive will be allowed a subsequent right to purchase the Annuity Contracts at the next such declaration by a governmental agency, as herein described, and any subsequent declaration, in the same manner.
