On July 20, 2018, the Board of Directors of Cadence declared a 20% increase in the quarterly cash dividend to $0.15 per share of common stock, representing an annualized dividend of $0.60 per share.

“We are very pleased to report to you another consecutive quarter of strong organic growth and record earnings for second quarter of 2018,” stated Paul B. Murphy, Jr., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Cadence Bancorporation. “Our performance for the first half of the year has exceeded expectations with annualized, double digit growth in the balance sheet and earnings trending favorably. We have been fortunate to operate in attractive markets with extraordinary bankers, focused on doing a great job for clients and driving our financial results. We were excited to announce our merger with State Bank in May and are well underway in the integration planning to ensure a successful combination. I believe this strategically compelling deal, combining two great companies, will add to our attractive story in the future.”

• Loans were $9.0 billion as of June 30, 2018, an increase of $328.8 million, or 3.8%, as compared to $8.6 billion at March 31, 2018, and an increase of $1.3 billion, or 16.3%, as compared to $7.7 billion at June 30, 2017.
• Core deposits (total deposits excluding brokered) were $8.7 billion as of June 30, 2018, up $451.1 million, or 5.5%, from March 31, 2018, and up $1.5 billion, or 20.8%, from June 30, 2017.
• Total revenue for the second quarter of 2018 was $120.1 million, up 3.4% from the linked quarter and up 13.9% from the same period in 2017 driven by strong loan, core deposit, and spread income growth due to a favorably positioned, asset-sensitive balance sheet benefiting from rising short-term rates.
• Our fully tax-equivalent net interest margin (“NIM”) for the second quarter of 2018 was 3.66%, an increase from 3.64% for the first quarter of 2018 and a decrease from 3.71% for the second quarter of 2017, reflecting our asset sensitivity. Our NIM excluding recovery accretion for acquired-impaired loans was 3.64% for the second quarter of 2018, up 2 bp from 3.62% in the first quarter of 2018 and up 13 bp from 3.51% in the second quarter of 2017.
• The efficiency ratio(1) for the second quarter of 2018 was 52.0%, an improvement from both linked and prior quarter efficiency ratios of 53.4% and 53.3%, respectively. The improvement in the efficiency ratio reflects ongoing focus on managing expenses and expanding revenue. Second quarter 2018 revenues increased $4.0 million over first quarter 2018 and $14.7 million over second quarter 2017. The second quarter of 2018 included non-routine revenues and expenses, including a $4.9 million pre-tax gain on the sale of the assets of our insurance company, $1.8 million net loss on sales of securities, $1.2 million of secondary offering expenses, $0.8 million of acquisition related costs and $1.1 million of expenses related to the sale of the assets of our insurance company. Excluding these non-routine revenues and expenses, the adjusted efficiency ratio(1) was 50.7% for the second quarter of 2018. This compares to an adjusted efficiency ratio of 50.2% and 53.1% for the first quarter of 2018 and second quarter of 2017, respectively. See Table 8 – Non-Routine Income/Expense for more information related to non-routine items.
• Total nonperforming assets declined 21.9% during the second quarter 2018, a decrease of $15.9 million to $56.8 million, or 0.6% of total loans, OREO and other NPAs. Total nonperforming assets have dropped $84.6 million, or 59.8%, from $141.4 million, or 1.8% of total loans, OREO and other NPAs, as of June 30, 2017.

Balance Sheet:

Cadence continued its solid growth during the quarter with total assets reaching $11.3 billion as of June 30, 2018, an increase of $306.1 million, or 2.8%, from March 31, 2018, and an increase of $1.5 billion, or 15.2%, from June 30, 2017.

Loans at June 30, 2018 were $9.0 billion, an increase of $328.8 million, or 3.8%, from March 31, 2018, and an increase of $1.3 billion, or 16.3%, from June 30, 2017. Average loans for the second quarter of 2018 were $8.8 billion, an increase of $404.9 million, or 4.8%, from first quarter of 2018, and an increase of $1.2 billion, or 15.7%, from second quarter of 2017. Increases in loans reflect continued demand primarily in our specialized and general C&I portfolios compared to linked quarter and in our specialized, general C&I and residential portfolios compared to prior year.

Total deposits at June 30, 2018 were $9.3 billion, an increase of $282.1 million, or 3.1%, from March 31, 2018, and an increase of $1.4 billion, or 17.7%, from June 30, 2017. Average total deposits for the second quarter of 2018 were $9.1 billion, an increase of $123.0 million, or 1.4%, from first quarter of 2018, and an increase of $1.2 billion, or 15.0%, from second quarter of 2017.

• Deposit increases reflect growth in core deposits, specifically with success in expanding commercial deposit relationships and treasury management services.
• Noninterest bearing deposits as a percent of total deposits were 22.9%, compared to 22.6% at March 31, 2018 and 23.4% at June 30, 2017.
• The year-over-year core deposit growth supported a $93.8 million reduction in brokered deposits since June 30, 2017. As of June 30, 2018, brokered deposits totaled $649.3 million, or 7.0% of total deposits, down from 9.0% of total deposits at March 31, 2018 and down from 9.4% of total deposits at June 30, 2017, respectively.

Shareholders’ equity was $1.4 billion at June 30, 2018, an increase of $32.9 million from March 31, 2018, and an increase of $85.9 million from June 30, 2017.

• Tangible common shareholder’s equity(1) was $1.1 billion at June 30, 2018, an increase of $44.5 million from March 31, 2018, and an increase of $100.5 million from June 30, 2017. Tangible book value per share(1) increased $0.53, or 4.3%, to $12.85 per share for the second quarter of 2018, compared to $12.32 per share as of March 31, 2018, driven by strong earnings growth and goodwill recovery due to the sale of the assets of our insurance company.
• In June 2018, Cadence paid a $0.125 per common share dividend totaling $10.5 million.
• In November 2017, February 2018 and May 2018, Cadence completed secondary offerings whereby its controlling stockholder, Cadence Bancorp LLC, sold 10,925,000, 9,200,000 and 20,700,000 of Cadence Bancorporation shares, respectively, reducing its ownership in Cadence to 76.6%, 65.6% and 40.9%, respectively. All proceeds from these transactions were received by Cadence Bancorp LLC and did not impact Cadence Bancorporation’s equity or outstanding shares.

Asset Quality:

Credit quality metrics reflected continued improvement in the energy portfolio and general credit stability in the second quarter of 2018.

• Net-charge offs for the quarter ended June 30, 2018 were $2.2 million, compared to $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. Annualized net-charge offs as a percent of average loans for the quarter ended June 30, 2018 were 0.10%, compared to 0.06%, for the full year of 2017. Total second quarter 2018 charge-offs of $3.7 million and recoveries of $1.5 million were primarily due to two seasoned energy credits that have been in active resolution.
• NPAs totaled $56.8 million, or 0.6%, of total loans, OREO and other NPAs as of June 30, 2018, compared to $72.7 million, or 0.8%, as of March 31, 2018, and down from $141.4 million, or 1.8%, as of June 30, 2017.
• The allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) was $90.6 million, or 1.01% of total loans, as of June 30, 2018, as compared to $91.5 million, or 1.06% of total loans, as of March 31, 2018 and $93.2 million, or 1.21% of total loans, as of June 30, 2017. The year-over-year decline in the ACL as a percentage of total loans resulted primarily from the reduction in non-performing loans and related valuation reserves (largely from the energy portfolio) and improved environmental factors in the energy sector over the past year.

Total Revenue:

Total revenue for the second quarter of 2018 was $120.1 million, up 3.4% from the linked quarter and up 13.9% from the same period in 2017. The revenue increases were primarily a result of both strong loan growth during the period and meaningful increases in net interest margins.

Net interest income for the second quarter of 2018 was $95.4 million, an increase of $4.3 million, or 4.7%, from the first quarter of 2018 and an increase of $13.0 million, or 15.8%, from the same period in 2017, reflecting strong growth in our earning assets combined with increases in net interest margin.

• Our fully tax-equivalent net interest margin (“NIM”) for the second quarter of 2018 was 3.66% as compared to 3.64% for the first quarter of 2018 and 3.71% for the second quarter of 2017. The linked quarter increase in NIM is primarily a result of our asset sensitive balance sheet and earning asset yields increasing more significantly than our funding costs in the recent rising rate environment. Our NIM excluding recovery accretion for acquired-impaired loans was 3.64%, 3.62% and 3.51% for the second quarter of 2018, first quarter of 2018 and second quarter of 2017 respectively.
• Earning asset yields for the second quarter of 2018 were 4.75%, up 24 basis points from 4.51% in the first quarter of 2018, and up 30 basis points from 4.45% in the second quarter of 2017, driven by increases in loan yields.
  • Over 71% of our loan portfolio is floating rate and has benefited from the short-term rate increases during the periods.
  • Yield on loans, excluding acquired-impaired loans, increased meaningfully to 5.04% for the second quarter of 2018, as compared to 4.81% and 4.36% for the first quarter of 2018 and second quarter of 2017, respectively.
  • Total accretion for acquired-impaired loans was $5.6 million in the second quarter of 2018, essentially flat from the first quarter of 2018 and down $4.9 million from the second quarter of 2017. The year-over-year decline in accretion was due to recovery timing. Recovery accretion was $0.6 million, $0.4 million and $4.5 million for the second quarter of 2018, first quarter of 2018 and second quarter of 2017, respectively.
  • Total loan yields increased to 5.16% for the second quarter of 2018 versus 4.94% for the first quarter of 2018 and 4.74% for the second quarter of 2017.
• Total cost of funds for the second quarter of 2018 was 118 basis points versus 94 basis points in the linked quarter and 81 basis points in the second quarter of 2017.
  • Total cost of deposits for the second quarter of 2018 was 98 basis points versus 75 basis points in the linked quarter and 59 basis points in the second quarter of 2017, due primarily to rising interest rates as well as approximately $1.2 billion in our “Up CD” product that reset on April 1, 2018 based on the semi-annual reset schedule with the index rate increasing 50 basis points from the first quarter of 2018. This increase in Up CD rates accounted for 8 basis points of the quarterly increase in cost of deposits. Over $600 million of the Up CDs are scheduled to mature by year end 2018.

Noninterest income for the second quarter of 2018 was $24.7 million, a decrease of $0.3 million, or 1.2%, from the first quarter of 2018, and an increase of $1.7 million, or 7.3%, from the same period of 2017.

• Total service fees and revenue for the second quarter of 2018 were $21.4 million, a decrease of $2.5 million, or 10.5%, from the first quarter of 2018, and a decrease of $0.7 million, or 3.4%, from the same period of 2017. The second quarter of 2018 decrease compared to the linked quarter was driven by the decrease in insurance revenue due to the sale of the assets of our insurance company. Compared to the prior year’s quarter, decreases in trust services revenue, insurance revenue and mortgage banking revenue were partially offset by increases in credit-related fees and investment advisory revenue.
• Total other noninterest income for the second quarter of 2018 was $3.3 million, an increase of $2.2 million from the first quarter of 2018, and an increase of $2.4 million from the same period of 2017. The increase from linked quarter was largely a result of the $4.9 million pre-tax gain on sale of the assets of our insurance company, offset by a $1.8 million loss from the sale of certain securities within tax-exempt investment securities portfolio. See Table 8 – Non-Routine Income/Expense for more information related to non-routine items.

Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2018 was $62.4 million, an increase of $0.5 million, or 0.8%, from $61.9 million for the first quarter of 2018, and an increase of $6.3 million, or 11.2%, from $56.1 million during the same period in 2017. The linked quarter included an increase of $0.9 million in salaries and benefits, offset by decreases in consulting and professional fees and legal expenses. The increase in expenses from the prior year’s quarter was due to a $3.6 million growth in salaries and benefits driven by business growth and related incentives, $1.2 million in consulting and professional fees and other expenses related to the May 2018 secondary offering, $1.1 million in expenses related to the sale of the assets of our insurance company and $0.8 million in other expenses specific to acquisition related costs. Adjusted noninterest expenses(1) of $59.3 million for the second quarter of 2018 was up slightly from $58.3 million in the first quarter of 2018 and up 5.8% from the second quarter of 2017 total of $56.1 million. See Table 8 – Non-Routine Income/Expense for information related to non-routine items.

Our efficiency ratio(1) for the second quarter of 2018 was 52.0%, as compared to the first quarter of 2018 and second quarter of 2017 ratios of 53.4% and 53.3%, respectively. The improvement in the efficiency ratio reflects ongoing focus on managing expenses and expanding revenue. The second quarter of 2018 included non-routine revenues and expenses. Excluding these non-routine revenues and expenses, the adjusted efficiency ratio(1) was 50.7% for the second quarter of 2018. This compares to an adjusted efficiency ratio of 50.2% and 53.1% for the first quarter of 2018 and second quarter of 2017, respectively. See Table 8 – Non-Routine Income/Expense for more information related to non-routine items.

Taxes:

The effective tax rate for the quarter ended June 30, 2018 was 14.9% as compared to 22.0% in the first quarter of 2018 and 31.9% in the second quarter of 2017. The decreased rate in the second quarter of 2018 was due primarily to a one-time bad debt deduction related to the legacy loan portfolio. Our annualized effective tax rate for 2018 is currently expected to be approximately 21.1%.

Quarterly Dividend:

On July 20, 2018, the Board of Directors of Cadence declared a 20% increase in the quarterly cash dividend to the amount of $0.15 per share of common stock, representing an annualized dividend of $0.60 per share. The dividend will be paid on September 17, 2018 to holders of record of the Class A common stock on September 4, 2018.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Certain of the financial measures and ratios we present, including “efficiency ratio,” “adjusted efficiency ratio,” “adjusted noninterest expenses,” “adjusted operating revenue,” “tangible common equity ratio,” “tangible book value per share” and “return on average tangible common equity” and “pre-tax, pre-provision net earnings,” are supplemental measures that are not required by, or are not presented in accordance with, U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). We refer to these financial measures and ratios as “non-GAAP financial measures.” We consider the use of select non-GAAP financial measures and ratios to be useful for financial and operational decision making and useful in evaluating period-to-period comparisons. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by excluding certain expenditures or assets that we believe are not indicative of our primary business operating results or by presenting certain metrics on a fully taxable equivalent basis. We believe that management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our performance and when planning, forecasting, analyzing and comparing past, present and future periods.

These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP and you should not rely on non-GAAP financial measures alone as measures of our performance. The non-GAAP financial measures we present may differ from non-GAAP financial measures used by our peers or other companies. We compensate for these limitations by providing the equivalent GAAP measures whenever we present the non-GAAP financial measures and by including a reconciliation of the impact of the components adjusted for in the non-GAAP financial measure so that both measures and the individual components may be considered when analyzing our performance. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures is included at the end of the financial statement tables (Table 7).
