First Financial Bankshares
Annual Report 2016

Plain-text annual report

650 EMPLOYEES 2200 TOTAL HOURS On Columbus Day, October 10, 2016, more than 650 First Financial associates took part in a company-wide volunteer initiative: the First Financial Day of Service. In 27 locations across the Lone Star state, we volunteered to serve at a variety of worthy nonprofit groups and organizations. From preparing and delivering meals to cleaning, painting and landscaping, First Financial associates pulled together to make it a day dedicated to serving others. What’s more, we also paid visits to veterans, the homebound and residents of assisted living facilities in our communities. The Day of Service was both a productive and rewarding day for all involved. We are so grateful for the opportunity to give back to the Texas communities where we proudly work and live as we do throughout the year. 27 BANK LOCATIONS 23 COMMUNITY Partners Served A LETTER TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS. We have always believed that we are only as good as the communities we serve; therefore, one of our continuing goals has been to serve as a catalyst for improving the quality of life and economic status of the communities in our marketplaces. One way we pursued that goal in 2016 was by designating the Columbus Day bank holiday (October 10, 2016) as a voluntary Day of Service for our company. Under the direction of a group of young leaders here at the Company, our Service Improvement Team planned, organized and executed a one-day event in which we partnered with local nonprofit organizations to provide assistance to the senior population in 27 locations across the First Financial footprint. Projects included meal preparation and delivery, landscaping, painting, visits to homebound individuals, collection of food and provision of continued education about the Bank’s program to prevent financial exploitation. We are so proud that more than 650 of our employees across the state chose to use their bank holiday to assist local nonprofits in our senior communities. It proved to be a truly outstanding Day of Service, filled not only with hard work and accomplishment but also with much fun and spirited team building. FINANCIAL RESULTS We are pleased that our earnings increased for the 30th consecutive year, despite continued low interest rates and commodity prices. However, we are not pleased with our 2016 earnings performance, and truly think that we should have done better. We are now diligently working on the areas where we fell short – growing loans, improving our interest rate margin, increasing fee income, controlling expenses and reducing loan losses – as well as actively looking for strategic acquisitions to better utilize our strong capital position and improve earnings. Net income for 2016 grew 4.4 percent to $104.8 million from $100.4 million in 2015. Basic earnings per share rose to $1.59 from $1.55. Net interest income, our largest source of revenue, increased 4.3 percent to $226.8 million from $217.5 million a year earlier. The persistence of extremely low interest rates continued to put pressure on our net interest margin, a key profitability metric that expresses net interest income as a percentage of average interest-earning assets. Our net interest margin for 2016 decreased to 4.08 percent from 4.12 percent in 2015, but it was still a very respectable result and placed us in the 92nd percentile of our peer banks. The provision for loan losses increased 5.4 percent to $10.2 million from $9.7 million in 2015. The increase was due primarily to one problem loan on which we realized a $4.3 million loss. However, credit metrics improved during the year, so that by December 31, 2016, nonperforming assets as a percentage of loans and foreclosed assets had decreased to 0.86 percent from 0.89 percent at year-end 2015. Classified loans totaled $127.8 million at December 31, 2016, down from $149.4 million a year earlier. Our oil and gas industry exposure declined throughout the year, falling to 2.3 percent of total loans at the end of 2016 from 2.9 percent at the end of 2015. Although credit metrics in the oil and gas portfolio have improved with the increase in oil and gas prices, we continue to see some weakness in this sector. Noninterest income grew 15.9 percent to $85.1 million from $73.4 million, while noninterest expense rose 10.9 percent to $165.8 million from $149.5 million. We again outperformed our peer group of banks on several key financial metrics. Our return on average assets was 1.59 percent compared with 1.00 percent for our peers. Return on average equity was 12.36 percent versus our peers’ 9.12 percent. And our efficiency ratio, which expresses expenses as a proportion of revenues, was also much better—49.22 percent as opposed to our peers’ 62.77 percent. Our balance sheet grew, but at a slower pace than in 2015. Consolidated assets expanded 2.2 percent to $6.81 billion from $6.67 billion at the end of 2015. Loans grew 1.0 percent to $3.38 billion from $3.35 billion. Deposits increased 5.6 percent to $5.48 billion from $5.19 billion. Shareholders’ equity at year-end was $837.9 million, up 4.1 percent from $805.0 million. Lower oil and gas prices continued to impact not only our bank subsidiary, but also our First Financial Trust & Asset Management subsidiary. The trust division saw its fees from the oil and gas sector drop $296,000 during 2016, after having dropped even more during 2015. However, the division’s total fee income for 2016 grew by $384,000, or 2.0 percent, to $19.6 million. The increase was due to solid growth in the market and book values of the assets managed. Total trust assets under management at year-end reached a book value of $3.37 billion, a 10.1 percent increase from $3.06 billion a year earlier. The market value of the portfolio grew 13.5 percent to $4.37 billion from $3.85 billion in 2015. Net income after tax for the trust company totaled $7.2 million in 2016, down 3.5 percent from $7.4 million in 2015. REAL ESTATE ACTIVITIES In June of 2016, we opened our four-story building in Fort Worth at the intersection of Forest Park Boulevard and Rosedale Street. This location just west of downtown houses the bank branch and the mortgage and trust offices, and gives our customers easy access from Texas Highway 121 and Interstate 30. In August, we opened a new facility in Cisco at 2006 Conrad Hilton Boulevard, and in September, we opened one in Odessa at 3555 Billy Hext Road. All of these facilities are state-of-the-art and provide our customers with the latest in banking services. We continued our strategy of selling our large older facilities, which no longer meet the needs of today’s banking customers. Our practice has been to sell some of the buildings at below-market prices to local municipalities that need extra space. This is a win- win transaction because the municipalities get the square footage they need at a very reasonable cost, while we realize tax benefits from gifting a percentage of the buildings’ value. We then construct smaller, modern buildings that better meet our customers’ needs and are much more cost-efficient to maintain. We plan to continue implementing this strategy during 2017. In March 2016, we sold our Weatherford downtown location to Parker County. The management team and the other employees at this location have moved to a newly expanded and remodeled College Park facility at 101 College Park Drive. In San Angelo, we contracted to sell our large downtown facility to the city on May 1, 2017, demolished the drive-in location a block away, and are building the new facility on that corner at Concho Avenue and Koenigham Street. This building, which has been designed to be the entrance to San Angelo’s Historic District, will open April 30th of this year. In December 2016, we sold our Orange facility to the city of Orange, and we are now designing an ultramodern building a block away, which we expect to occupy in early 2018. Also last year, we purchased the old Citibank location at 5257 Buffalo Gap in Abilene, and we are remodeling that building to move our branch and mortgage operations from the leased building at 4400 Buffalo Gap Road. The new location will provide 21st- century banking and better access for our mortgage and banking customers. We will keep our drive-in facility open at 4400 Buffalo Gap Road so that our customers in south Abilene will have drive-in locations on both sides of this very busy street. MANAGEMENT ENHANCEMENTS One of the many things I am most proud of in this company is the cadre of young bankers who are ready to move up into positions of more responsibility. During 2016, we continued the strategy of moving our young professionals into management positions to acknowledge their accomplishments, utilize their vitality and strengths and secure management succession. In January 2016, Trent Swearengin was promoted to President of our Stephenville Region after having served as President of our Eastland Division for the previous four years. Trent has been with the Company since 2001, serving in a number of positions through those years. At the same time, David Bailey, our senior lender in Eastland who has been with the Company for 12 years, became President of our Eastland Division. In September of 2016, Jeff Casey was promoted to Executive Vice President and Chief Digital Officer of our technology company, First Technology Services, Inc. Jeff has been with the Bank for more than nine years and has held numerous positions in the technology company. His promotion reflects the utilization of his expertise to advance our Internet and mobile technologies. That same month, Mike Boyd, CEO and Chairman of First Financial Bank, San Angelo Region, named Chris Evatt as the new President of the Region. Chris has been with the Bank for more than 16 years and has held numerous lending positions in Stephenville and Abilene. Monica Houston was named Executive Vice President of Retail Banking and Training in December. Monica began her banking career 22 years ago as a teller with the Bank, and since then has held positions in retail, lending, technology and training. Most recently, in January 2017, Jay Gibbs, Chairman and CEO of First Financial Bank, Weatherford Region, announced the promotion of Justin Hooper to President of the Region, where he was previously senior lender. Justin has been with the Company more than 14 years; he started as a loan review officer and has held several lending positions through those years. We are very excited about our younger group of bankers moving up the ladder, and we are confident that all of these promotions have added depth and experience to our overall management team. LOOKING AHEAD Although 2016 was one of the most challenging years that we have experienced in a while, the Texas economy and our local economies stayed fairly consistent. The escalation of oil and gas prices certainly helped, but this sector continues to experience some weakness. We have several initiatives under way to grow loans and deposits, enhance income and decrease expenses so that we can continue to deliver solid results in the coming years. With the presidential election behind us, there seem to be more banks interested in putting themselves up for sale, and we are having a number of conversations with potential sellers. As we have in the past, we are proceeding strategically, searching diligently for well-managed banks at the right price that fit our culture and will bring long-term value to our company. “You First” is our tagline, because we strongly believe that putting our customers and stockholders first is the only way to properly do our job. There is no question that we work for you. Thank you for your business, your ownership and your continued support of this fine company. Thank you. F. Scott Dueser Chairman, President and CEO A Letter To Our Shareholders :: Page 5 THE 2017 WALTER JOHNSON AWARD JULIA JONES MATTHEWS 1918-2016 The Walter Johnson Award is bestowed upon a person who has contributed greatly and advanced our company to new heights for customers, shareholders and employees just as Walter Johnson did. The Award has been given only six times in the last 12 years and is being bestowed for the seventh time to the Matthews’ family in memory of Julia Jones Matthews. This is the first time we have ever selected someone who is not an employee; however, Judy was the epitome of a loyal customer, stockholder, tenant and friend who had a great interest in the Company and was instrumental in helping First Financial become one of the top banks in the country by improving the economy and quality of life in West Texas, sending us business and giving her support and encouragement. She was a lifelong customer from a family who has banked with us for generations. Although she never served on our Board of Directors, the family has had Board representation for more than 62 years. Many of our top customers, both nonprofit and for profit organizations, would not be in existence today if Judy had not helped them through the tough times and inspired them to succeed. Judy Matthews forever changed the landscape of West Texas. Over a lifetime of “anonymous” philanthropy, she rendered a tour de force for her hometown, quietly, exquisitely, selflessly. Her gracious spirit and her generous heart worked powerful and positive changes among legions throughout this community and beyond. She was the quintessence of the scriptural verse “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” And so it was. My fondest memories of Judy are the times when we would have lunch together at Cypress Street Station. I always had to be well prepared because that morning she had already read the Wall Street Journal, watched the latest news and was ready to ask questions to make sure I was on my toes. I was always eager to hear her stories about the history of Abilene, which helped me to understand our roots and the importance of being a catalyst for improvement. I personally believe that Judy had more influence on the betterment of Abilene than anyone in the history of the City. Julia Jones Matthews and Walter Johnson were close friends and contemporaries, and I know that he would be proud that we are bestowing this honor upon her and her family. We will miss her greatly, but she has left us with a great legacy that will be enjoyed for generations to come. F.

Brown First Financial Trust & Asset Management Company First Financial Trust & Asset Management Company again delivered favorable results in 2016. Total assets under management at year- end had a book value of $3.37 billion, a 10.3 percent increase from $3.06 billion at the end of 2015. The market value of the assets totaled $4.37 billion, a gain of 13.0 percent from $3.87 billion. Our revenues were impacted by the significant market drop in the first quarter as well as lower oil and gas prices, which resulted in a $296,000 reduction in oil and gas management fees. For the year, total fee income increased 2.0 percent to $19.6 million from $19.2 million in 2015, and net earnings after tax decreased 3.5 percent to $7.2 million from $7.5 million. The trust company’s investment performance remained strong. Our Core Domestic Equity portfolio led the way with a return of 14.5 percent, followed by our Equity Income portfolio with 12.9 percent and our Core Diversified portfolio with 12.5 percent. Our Taxable and Tax-Exempt Fixed-Income portfolios outpaced their respective benchmarks. We are excited to announce that we have contracted with FIS, the world’s largest global provider of financial technology solutions, and will be converting to a new accounting platform in 2017. This new platform will improve online access, statements and tax reporting for our customers and provide additional technology solutions to assist them with meeting their financial goals. $2,000 Trust Assets (in millions) 2012 $2,233 2013 2014 2015 2016 $2,465 $2,774 $3,060 $3,374 Trust Fees (in millions) 2012 2013 $0 2014 2015 $14.46 $16.32 $18.77 $19.25 $19.64 2016 Trust Net Income (in millions) 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 $5.183 $6.142 $7.109 $7.449 $7.190 SENIOR OFFICERS SENIOR OFFICERS (continued) Kirk W.
