Notes Bankwell Financial Group CEO, Christopher R. Gruseke:

“Bankwell continued our exceptional financial performance into the second quarter of 2016. We recorded net income of $2.9 million, or $0.38 per share for the quarter. Organic loan growth continues to be strong, as our portfolio grew by $80 million, or 7%, in the second quarter. This represents a 28% annualized increase in assets, compared to 2015 year-end, as the Bank crossed another milestone surpassing $1.5 billion in assets. Our vigilant focus on expenses resulted in a stand-out efficiency ratio of 57.1% for the quarter, compared to 63.2% for the quarter ended June 30, 2015. We do expect personnel additions during the remainder of 2016 that will result in a more normalized efficiency ratio. Nevertheless, we expect significant improvement for the full year versus our 2015 efficiency ratio. The entire Bankwell team is to be applauded as their efforts generated a tangible book value per common share of $18.12 and a return on average tangible common equity of 8.74%. Further, Bankwell’s credit quality remains outstanding with non-performing assets at 0.27% of total assets.”

Mr. Gruseke added, “Delivering on our strategic commitment to enhance our deposit franchise, I am pleased to announce an important addition to the management team with the recent hiring of David Dineen to the newly created position of EVP, Head of Community Banking. David brings a wealth of banking experience and a strong understanding of local markets to Bankwell. I am confident that under his leadership Bankwell will further enhance its core funding capacity and strengthen our commitment to the customers and communities we serve.”

Earnings

Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 was $2.9 million, an increase of 27% compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2015. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $5.9 million, an increase of 42% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2015. Revenues (net interest income plus non-interest income) for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 were $12.7 million, an increase of 10% compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2015. Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2016 were $24.8 million, an increase of 12% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2015. Net interest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 was $11.9 million, an increase of 11% compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2015. Our strong net income, revenues and net interest income was fueled by continued earning asset growth.

Basic and diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 was $0.38, compared to $0.31 for the quarter ended June 30, 2015.

The Company continues to focus on expense control as indicated by our improving efficiency ratio. The Company’s efficiency ratio for the quarters ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015 were 57.1% and 63.2%, respectively. The Company’s efficiency ratio for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015 were 57.4% and 64.5%, respectively.

Noninterest Income and Expense

Noninterest income remained flat for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2015 and increased $73 thousand to $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2015. The increase in noninterest income was primarily driven by gains on the sale of foreclosed real estate, net gains on the sale of available for sale securities and increased service charges and fees, offset by a decrease in sales of loans.

Noninterest expense decreased $165 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2015 and decreased $55 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2015. The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in salaries and employee benefits. Salaries and employee benefits decreased $0.2 million or 5.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2015 and decreased $0.4 million or 4.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2015 as a result of an increase in open positions.

Financial Condition

Assets totaled $1.5 billion at June 30, 2016, an annualized increase of 28% compared to assets of $1.3 billion at December 31, 2015. This increase reflects strong organic loan growth. Total gross loans were $1.3 billion at June 30, 2016, an annualized increase of 23% compared to December 31, 2015. Commercial real estate loans have experienced the most significant growth, up by $87.5 million.

Deposits increased to $1.2 billion, an annualized increase of 26% over December 31, 2015, with core deposits (total deposits less time deposits) showing an annualized increase of 9% over December 31, 2015 to $636.9 million primarily reflecting increases in noninterest-bearing deposit, money market and NOW accounts.

Asset Quality

Asset quality remained exceptionally strong at June 30, 2016. Non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets was 0.27% at June 30, 2016, down from 0.38% at December 31, 2015. The allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2016 was $16.1 million, representing 1.34% of total loans, excluding acquired loans.

Capital

Shareholders’ equity totaled $137.1 million as of June 30, 2016, an increase of $5.4 million compared to December 31, 2015, primarily a result of net income for the six months ended June 30, 2016 of $5.9 million. As of June 30, 2016, the tangible common equity ratio and tangible book value per share were 8.85% and $18.12, respectively.

(1) Efficiency ratio is defined as noninterest expense, less merger and acquisition related expenses, other real estate owned expenses and amortization of intangible assets, divided by our operating revenue, which is equal to net interest income plus non-interest income excluding gains and losses on sales of securities and gains and losses on other real estate owned. In our judgment, the adjustments made to operating revenue allow investors and analysts to better assess our operating expenses in relation to our core operating revenue by removing the volatility that is associated with certain one-time items and other discrete items that are unrelated to our core business.
