Net income on a non-GAAP basis, excluding certain nonrecurring items, was $6.8 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2018 compared to net income on a non-GAAP basis, excluding certain nonrecurring items, of $6.1 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2018 and net income on a non-GAAP basis, excluding certain nonrecurring items, of $3.9 million, or $0.16 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2017 (see page 15 for a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP measures).

For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, net income was $18.8 million, or $0.75 per diluted share, compared to net income of $15.2 million, or $0.62 per diluted share for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Net income on a non-GAAP basis, excluding certain nonrecurring items, was $18.9 million, or $0.75 per diluted share, for the first nine months of 2018 compared to net income on a non-GAAP basis, excluding certain nonrecurring items, of $9.8 million, or $0.40 per diluted share for the first nine months of 2017 (see page 16 for a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP measures).

On September 20, 2018, Blue Hills Bancorp announced its entry into a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger with Independent Bank Corp. ("Independent"), pursuant to which Blue Hills Bancorp will merge into Independent ("Merger"). Completion of the transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including receipt of regulatory approvals and the approvals of Blue Hills Bancorp's and Independent's shareholders. The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2019.

Commenting on the Company's results, William Parent, President and Chief Executive Officer of Blue Hills Bancorp, said, "Our results for the third quarter and first nine months of the year continue to reflect strong contributions across all business lines. Growth in customer deposits from our retail banking group allowed us to reduce the level of wholesale funding, while deposit-related fee categories were at record quarterly levels. Mortgage banking revenues continued to make a significant contribution to earnings despite lower overall market volumes as in-house originations totaled $375 million for the first nine months of the year. On the commercial lending side, commercial business and real estate loans grew 5% and 4%, respectively, from the end of the second quarter and are up 17% and 14%, respectively, from a year ago. I want to thank all of our employees who continue to contribute to the ongoing improvement in our financial performance. We are excited by our recently announced merger with Independent Bank Corp. and look forward to the closing of that transaction in the first half of 2019."

BALANCE SHEET

Compared to June 30, 2018, total assets grew $41 million, or 2%, to $2.8 billion at September 30, 2018. The increase was mainly driven by a $45 million, or 2%, increase in loans to $2.3 billion at September 30, 2018. By category, the growth was due to a $29 million, or 4% increase in commercial real estate loans, an $18 million, or 2%, increase in residential mortgage loans, and a $14 million, or 5%, increase in commercial business loans. These increases were partially offset by a $13 million, or 15%, decline in construction loans as well as smaller declines in home equity and consumer loans.

Compared to September 30, 2017, total assets increased $237 million, or 9%. Loans drove the growth in total assets from September 30, 2017, increasing $219 million, or 10%. By category, the increase from September 30, 2017 was due to residential mortgage loans, which were up $102 million, or 11%; commercial real estate loans, which were up $102 million, or 14%; and commercial business loans, which were up $42 million, or 17%. Residential mortgage originations were $136 million in the third quarter of 2018 compared to $152 million in the third quarter of 2017 while commercial loans (real estate and non-real estate combined) added to the balance sheet were $90 million in the third quarter of 2018 compared to $64 million in the third quarter of 2017.

Compared to June 30, 2018, deposits grew $54 million, or 3%, to $2.2 billion at September 30, 2018. The growth from the end of the second quarter was driven by a $40 million, or 11%, increase in NOW and demand accounts as well as a $37 million, or 7%, increase in certificates of deposit. These increases were partially offset by small declines in regular savings, money market deposits and total brokered deposits. The growth in deposits allowed for a reduction in borrowings as short-term borrowings declined $12 million, or 11%, to $98 million at September 30, 2018 and long-term borrowings dropped $10 million, or 11%, to $80 million at September 30, 2018.

Compared to September 30, 2017, deposits grew $180 million, or 9%, and included growth in consumer, small business, and commercial segments. By category, the growth mainly came from certificates of deposit, which were up $142 million, or 34%. In addition, total brokered deposits were up $83 million, or 30%, and NOW and demand deposits increased $39 million, or 10%. These increases were partially offset by a $46 million, or 7%, decline in money market deposits and a $38 million, or 16%, decline in regular savings deposits. Short-term borrowings increased $78 million from a year ago while long-term debt declined $30 million.

Stockholders’ equity was $403 million at September 30, 2018 compared to $400 million at June 30, 2018 and $399 million at September 30, 2017. The increases in both periods mainly reflect net income and share based compensation, partially offset by the payment of dividends.

NET INTEREST AND DIVIDEND INCOME

Reported net interest and dividend income was $19.5 million in the third quarter of 2018, up $480,000, or 3%, from the second quarter of 2018 and up $2.5 million, or 15%, from the third quarter of 2017. Reported net interest margin was 2.92% in the third quarter of 2018, down from 2.98% in the second quarter of 2018, but up from 2.77% in the third quarter of 2017.

Net interest and dividend income on a fully taxable equivalent basis (FTE), a Non-GAAP measure, was also $19.5 million in the third quarter of 2018, up $481,000, or 3%, from $19.0 million in the second quarter of 2018, and up $2.5 million, or 15%, from $17.0 million in the third quarter of 2017. Net interest margin on a fully taxable equivalent basis (FTE), a Non-GAAP measure, was 2.93% in the third quarter of 2018 compared to 2.99% in the second quarter of 2018 and 2.78% in the third quarter of 2017. Purchase accounting accretion added $74,000, $171,000, and $103,000 to net interest and dividend income in the third quarter of 2018, second quarter of 2018, and third quarter of 2017, respectively. Purchase accounting accretion also added 2 basis points to net interest margin in the third quarter of 2018 and third quarter of 2017 and 3 basis points to net interest margin in the second quarter of 2018. In addition, net interest income in the second quarter of 2018 included $285,000 of fees related to loans that were paid off, which added 4 basis points to net interest margin in that quarter.

The improvement in net interest and dividend income (FTE) in both comparisons was helped by loan growth. Average loans increased $92 million, or 4%, from the second quarter of 2018 and were up $206 million, or 10%, from the third quarter of 2017. In both comparisons, the increase was driven by higher levels of commercial real estate loans, residential mortgages, and commercial business loans, partially offset by declines in construction, home equity and consumer loans.

The improvement in net interest margin (FTE) from the third quarter of 2017 was mainly due to higher floating rate loan yields related to the interest rate increases announced by the Federal Reserve Bank. There have been eight rate increases announced by the Fed since December 2015 totaling 200 basis points. The Company has maintained and continues to maintain an asset sensitive interest rate risk position, which has generally resulted in earning asset yields increasing at a faster pace than interest bearing liability costs. In the third quarter of 2018, however, the increase to net interest income from repricing floating rate loans tied to LIBOR was much lower than in the second quarter and this, along with higher funding costs, a lower contribution from purchase accounting accretion, and the absence of the aforementioned fees related to loans that were paid off contributed to the linked quarter decline in net interest margin (FTE).

NONINTEREST INCOME

Noninterest income was $3.9 million in the third quarter of 2018, up $223,000, or 6%, from the second quarter of 2018. The increase reflects higher loan level derivative income, which was up $901,000 from the second quarter due to a higher volume of new commercial loan customer back-to-back interest rate swap contracts. The amount of revenue in the loan level derivative income category can be volatile since it is a function of the amount of commercial loans that customers opt to convert from floating to fixed rate via interest rate swaps in any given quarter. In addition, the Company also had increases of $51,000, or 12%, in deposit account fees and $17,000, or 4%, in interchange and ATM fees reflecting higher transaction volumes and pricing changes. Both categories posted record quarterly highs in the third quarter. Partially offsetting these improvements was a $61,000 unrealized loss on equity securities in the third quarter compared to an unrealized gain of $452,000 recorded in the second quarter, a $197,000, or 23%, drop in miscellaneous income due mainly to lower commercial loan fees and lower income on Small Business Investment Community ("SBIC") investments, and a $59,000, or 6%, decline in mortgage banking income.

Compared to the third quarter of 2017, noninterest income increased $1.0 million, or 36%, mainly due to an $888,000 increase in loan level derivative income. Also contributing to the increase were higher levels of deposit account fees, interchange and ATM fees, and miscellaneous income. Partially offsetting the increases were a $172,000, or 15%, decline in mortgage banking income and a $61,000 unrealized loss on equity securities recognized in the third quarter of 2018.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

Noninterest expense was $15.5 million in the third quarter of 2018, up $1.8 million, or 13%, from the second quarter of 2018 and up $2.2 million, or 16%, from the third quarter of 2017. The third quarter of 2018 included $1.3 million of charges related to the pending merger with Independent Bank Corp. as well as a $720,000 charge for a supplemental executive retirement agreement as previously disclosed in the Company's second quarter 2018 report on Form 10-Q as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Excluding these two items, noninterest expense was $13.5 million in the third quarter of 2018, down $209,000, or 2%, from the second quarter of 2018 and up $127,000, or 1%, from the third quarter of 2017. The linked quarter decline was mainly due to a $148,000, or 33%, drop in professional fees due to lower legal and consulting fees and a $110,000, or 1%, decline in salaries and benefits expense, excluding the aforementioned charge for a supplemental executive retirement agreement. Compared to the third quarter of 2017, salaries and benefits expense increased $175,000, or 2%, excluding the aforementioned charge for a supplemental executive retirement agreement.

INCOME TAXES

The effective income tax rate was 27.4% in the third quarter of 2018 compared to 26.8% in the second quarter of 2018 and 37.9% in the third quarter of 2017. The lower effective tax rates in 2018 are mainly due to the Tax Act, which was enacted on December 22, 2017 and provided for a reduction in the federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018.

ASSET QUALITY

The provision for loan losses reflects management’s assessment of risks inherent in the loan portfolio. The provision for loan losses was a credit of $182,000 in the third quarter of 2018 compared to provisions of $101,000 in the second quarter of 2018 and $242,000 in the third quarter of 2017. The level of the provision in all three quarters reflects the Company's continued migration from the use of historical loss rates based on national FDIC data to loss rates based on the Company's own experience.

The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was 0.86% at September 30, 2018 compared to 0.89% at June 30, 2018 and 0.97% at September 30, 2017. The Company had net loan charge-offs of $23,000 in the third quarter of 2018 compared to net loan charge-offs of $161,000 in the second quarter of 2018 and net loan recoveries of $89,000 in the third quarter of 2017.

Nonperforming assets were $15.4 million at September 30, 2018 compared to $13.9 million at June 30, 2018 and $11.5 million at September 30, 2017. The linked quarter growth in nonperforming assets reflects increases in nonperforming commercial real estate loans and residential mortgages, partially offset by a decline in nonperforming home equity loans. Nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets were 0.55% at September 30, 2018 compared to 0.51% at June 30, 2018 and 0.45% at September 30, 2017.
