“Strong loan production across our multifamily, small balance commercial
real estate, and C&I lending businesses and record quarterly fee income
resulted in a 27% year-over-year increase in earnings per share and a
17% increase in book value per share,” explained Greg Garrabrants,
President and CEO of BofI. “Despite ongoing investments across our
organization, we maintained a strong efficiency ratio of 32.4% and a
22.8% return on average common stockholders’ equity this quarter.”
“We continue to deploy excess capital with the acquisition of a
specialty software and services business from Epiq in April. While we
did not acquire any deposits in this transaction, the addition of
proprietary software and the trustee and fiduciary services team
provides incremental fee income and enhances our commercial deposit
franchise going forward,” stated Mr. Garrabrants.
“We completed another successful tax season with our long-term partner,
H&R Block,” stated Andy Micheletti, Executive Vice President and Chief
Financial Officer of BofI. “This was the first tax season that the Bank
was the exclusive originator of H&R Block-branded Refund Advance loans.
Our exclusivity and growth in Refund Advance loans led to an increased
net interest margin of 4.77% for the quarter ended March 31, 2018
compared to 4.24% last year. ”
“Overall credit quality remains strong, as evidenced by two basis point
of net charge-offs on average loans and only 39 basis points of
non-performing assets to total assets at the end of this quarter,”
stated Mr. Micheletti. “The increase in our loan loss provision this
quarter was driven almost entirely by reserves for Refund Advance loans.
The majority of Refund Advance loans have been repaid and credit losses
are tracking in line with our expectations.”
For the nine months ended March 31, 2018, net income was a record $115.3
million, an increase of 12.8% over net income of $102.2 million for the
nine months ended March 31, 2017. Earnings attributable to BofI’s common
stockholders were $115.1 million or $1.78 per diluted share for the nine
months ended March 31, 2018, an increase of 13.4% from $102.0 million or
$1.57 per diluted share for the nine months ended March 31, 2017.
Earnings for the quarter and for the nine months ended March 31, 2018
were primarily related to increased net interest income from loan growth
and revenues related to seasonal H&R Block-branded products.

-
Total assets reached $9,982.3 million, up $1,282.3 million or 14.7%
compared to March 31, 2017

Third Quarter Fiscal 2018 Income Statement Summary
During the quarter ended March 31, 2018, BofI earned $51.3 million or
$0.80 per diluted share compared to $41.0 million, or $0.63 per diluted
share for the quarter ended March 31, 2017. Net interest income
increased $28.1 million or 31.8% for the quarter ended March 31, 2018
compared to March 31, 2017, due to $1,438.5 million growth in
average-earning assets, interest income from Refund Advance loans and
higher interest rates.
The loan and lease loss provision was $16.9 million for the quarter
ended March 31, 2018 compared to $4.9 million for the quarter ended
March 31, 2017. The increase in the provision is primarily the result of
additional provision for Refund Advance loans consistent with increased
originations in the loan product and overall portfolio loan growth.
For the third quarter ended March 31, 2018, non-interest income was
$23.5 million compared to $23.2 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2017. The $0.4 million increase year over year was the result
of a $1.7 million increase in mortgage banking income, $0.2 million
increase in gain on sale – other income, a $0.1 million reduction of
unrealized loss on securities, partially offset by a $0.8 million
decrease in prepayment penalty fee income, a $0.4 million decrease in
realized gain (loss) on securities and net decreased banking service
fees and other income of $0.4 million.
Non-interest expense or operating costs increased $10.0 million to $45.4
million for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 from $35.4 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2017. The increase was mainly a result of
an increase in salaries and related expense of $4.6 million as a result
of staffing increases to support growth in lending and information
technology infrastructure development. Other operating expense increases
include an increase in advertising and promotional of $2.2 million and
an increase of $1.5 million in other and general expense. The increases
in the other operating costs are primarily to support loan and deposit
growth, as well as data processing, software and marketing initiatives.
Balance Sheet Summary
BofI’s total assets increased $1,480.6 million, or 17.4%, to $9,982.3
million, as of March 31, 2018, up from $8,501.7 million at June 30,
2017. The increase in total assets was primarily due to an increase in
cash of $847.5 million and loan portfolio growth of $690.2 million on a
net basis, primarily from portfolio loan originations of $4,561.2
million less principal repayments and other adjustments of $3,871.0
million. Investment securities decreased $99.6 million primarily due to
sales and principal repayments. Total liabilities increased by $1,393.2
million, or 18.2%, to $9,060.7 million at March 31, 2018, up from
$7,667.4 million at June 30, 2017. The increase in total liabilities
resulted primarily from growth in deposits of $1,064.3 million and an
increase in FHLB borrowings of $328.0 million. Stockholders’ equity
increased by $87.4 million, or 10.5%, to $921.7 million at March 31,
2018 from $834.2 million at June 30, 2017. The increase was primarily
the result of $115.3 million in net income, $9.2 million of vesting and
issuance of RSUs and stock-based compensation expense, partially offset
by $35.2 million in stock repurchases and $0.2 million of dividends
declared on preferred stock.
The Bank’s Tier 1 core capital to adjusted average assets ratio was
9.40% at March 31, 2018.
