DETAILED FINANCIALS

ServisFirst Bancshares, Inc. reported net income of $14.5 million and net income available to common stockholders of $14.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2015, compared to net income of $11.6 million and net income available to common stockholders of $11.5 million for the same quarter in 2014.  Basic and diluted earnings per common share were $0.56 and $0.54, respectively, for the second quarter of 2015, compared to $0.49 and $0.46, respectively, for the second quarter of 2014.

Return on average assets was 1.31% and return on average equity was 14.06% for the second quarter of 2015, compared to 1.28% and 15.03%, respectively, for the second quarter of 2014.

Net interest income was $40.2 million for the second quarter of 2015, compared to $37.0 million for the first quarter of 2015 and $32.0 million for the second quarter of 2014.  The net interest margin in the second quarter of 2015 was 3.88%, an 8 basis point increase from the first quarter of 2015 and 14 basis point increase from the second quarter of 2014.  The increase in net interest income on a linked quarter basis is attributable to a $239.2 million increase in average loans outstanding, a $94.7 million increase in non-interest-bearing deposits and a $21.4 million increase in average stockholders' equity, all resulting in a positive mix change in our balance sheet.  The average yield on loans increased 4 basis points to 4.51% on a linked quarter basis.

Average loans for the second quarter of 2015 were $3.74 billion, an increase of $239.2 million, or 7%, over average loans of $3.50 billion for the first quarter of 2015, and an increase of $747.3 million, or 25%, over average loans of $2.99 billion for the second quarter of 2014.

Average total deposits for the second quarter of 2015 were $3.66 billion, an increase of $191.4 million, or 6%, over average total deposits of $3.47 billion for the first quarter of 2015, and an increase of $601.6 million, or 20%, over average total deposits of $3.06 billion for the second quarter of 2014.

Non-performing assets to total assets were 0.38% for the second quarter of 2015, a decrease of two basis points compared to 0.40% for the first quarter of 2015 and a decrease of fifteen basis points compared to 0.53% for the second quarter of 2014.  Net credit charge-offs to average loans  were 0.15%, a seven basis point increase compared to 0.08% for the first quarter of 2015 and a one basis point decrease compared to 0.16% for the second quarter of 2014.  We recorded a $4.1 million provision for loan losses in the second quarter of 2015 compared to $2.4 million in the first quarter of 2015 and $2.4 million in the second quarter of 2014.  The $1.7 million increase in loan loss provision in the second quarter is primarily attributable to loan growth combined with new impairment and charge-off of two large commercial loans.  The allowance for loan loss as a percentage of total loans remained unchanged at 1.04% for June 30, 2015 and March 31, 2015 and decreased four basis points compared to 1.08% at June 30, 2014.  In management's opinion, the allowance is adequate and was determined by consistent application of ServisFirst Bank's methodology for calculating its allowance for loan losses.

Non-interest income increased $567,000 during the second quarter of 2015, or 19%, compared to the second quarter of 2014.  Deposit service charges increased by $219,000, or 21%, resulting from higher balances and an increase in the number of accounts and transactions.  Increases in the cash surrender value of our life insurance contracts resulted from added investments in contracts during the third quarter of 2014.

Non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2015 increased $2.8 million, or 18%, to $18.2 million from $15.4 million in the second quarter of 2014, and decreased $0.5 million, or 3%, on a linked quarter basis.  Salary and benefit expense for the second quarter of 2015 increased $1.3 million, or 15%, to $10.4 million from $9.1 million in the second quarter of 2014, and increased $1.4 million, or 16%, on a linked quarter basis.  Salary and benefit expenses for the second quarter of 2014 included non-routine expense of $1.8 million resulting from the accelerated vesting of stock options previously granted to members of our advisory boards in our markets.  Excluding this non-routine expense, salary and benefit expenses increased $3.1 million, or 42%.  This increase is primarily the result of the Metro Bank employees coming on board in February 2015 and employee hires in our newer markets.  Merger expenses during the first quarter of 2015 related to our acquisition of Metro Bancshares were $2.1 million.  Other operating expense for the second quarter of 2015 increased $1.0 million, or 29%, to $4.6 million from $3.6 million in the second of 2014.  This was primarily the result of increased loan origination expenses, increased federal reserve bank charges from our correspondent bank clearing activities, and amortization of the core deposit intangible asset resulting from the Metro Bancshares acquisition.

GAAP Reconciliation and Management Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We recorded expenses of $2.1 million for the first quarter of 2015 related to the acquisition of Metro Bancshares, Inc. and the merger of Metro Bank with and into the Bank, and recorded an expense of $500,000 resulting from the initial funding of reserves for unfunded loan commitments for the first quarter of 2015, consistent with guidance provided in the Federal Reserve Bank's Inter-agency Policy Statement SR 06-17.  We recorded non-routine expenses of $2.5 million during the first half of 2014 resulting from a correction of our accounting for vested stock options and acceleration of vesting for unvested stock options previously granted to members of our advisory boards in our markets.  This change in accounting treatment is a non-cash item and did not impact our operating activities or cash from operations.  Core financial measures included in this press release are "core net income," "core net income available to common stockholders," "core diluted earnings per share," "core return on average assets" and "core return on average common stockholders' equity."  Each of these five core financial measures excludes the impact of the non-routine expenses attributable to merger expenses, the initial funding of reserves for unfunded loan commitments, the correction of our accounting for vested stock options and the acceleration of vesting of unvested stock options, and are all considered non-GAAP financial measures.  Other non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release are "tangible common stockholders' equity," "total tangible assets," "tangible book value per share," and "tangible common equity to total tangible assets."  All non-GAAP financial measures are more fully explained below.

"Core net income" is defined as net income, adjusted by the net effect of the non-routine expense.

"Core net income available to common stockholders" is defined as net income available to common stockholders, adjusted by the net effect of the non-routine expense.

"Core diluted earnings per share" is defined as net income available to common stockholders, adjusted by the net effect of the non-routine expense, divided by weighted average diluted shares outstanding.

"Core return on average assets" is defined as net income, adjusted by the net effect of the non-routine expense, divided by average total assets.

"Core return of average common stockholders' equity" is defined as net income, adjusted by the net effect of the non-routine expense, divided by average common stockholders' equity.

"Tangible common stockholders' equity" is defined as common stockholders' equity, adjusted by the total of goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets.

"Total tangible assets" is defined as total assets, adjusted by the total of goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets.

"Tangible book value per share" is defined as tangible common stockholders' equity divided by the number of common shares outstanding.

"Tangible common equity to total tangible assets" is defined as tangible common equity divided by total tangible assets.

We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to management and investors that is supplementary to our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows computed in accordance with GAAP; however, we acknowledge that these non-GAAP financial measures have a number of limitations.  As such, you should not view these disclosures as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP, and they are not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP financial measures that other companies, including those in our industry, use.  The following reconciliation table provides a more detailed analysis of the non-GAAP financial measures for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and six month comparative periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 included in this press release.  Dollars are in thousands, except share and per share data.
