Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2019
Net Interest Income
For the three months ended June 30, 2019, net interest income before provision for loan losses was $71.4 million and net interest margin was 4.00% compared to $72.9 million and 4.17%, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The $1.5 million decrease in net interest income was primarily due to a $1.0 million increase in interest expense on transaction and savings deposits and a $1.4 million increase in interest expense on certificates and time deposits, and was partially offset by a $1.0 million increase in interest income on loans. Net interest margin decreased 17 basis points from the three months ended March 31, 2019 primarily due to an increase in the average rate paid on interest-bearing demand and savings deposits and certificate and other time deposits during the three months ended June 30, 2019. As a result, the average cost of interest-bearing deposits increased to 1.79% for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from 1.62% for the three months ended March 31, 2019.
Net interest income before provision for loan losses increased by $43.5 million from $27.9 million to $71.4 million and net interest margin decreased by 9 basis points from 4.09% to 4.00% for the three months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018. The increase in net interest income before provision for loan losses was primarily driven by higher loan balances and yields resulting from loans acquired from Green and organic loan growth during the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018. For the three months ended June 30, 2019, average loan balance increased by $3.4 billion compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018, which resulted in a $61.3 million increase in interest income. This was partially offset by an increase in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities, which resulted in a $15.1 million increase in interest on deposit accounts. Net interest margin decreased 9 basis points from the three months ended June 30, 2018 primarily due to an increase in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018. As a result, the average cost of interest-bearing deposits increased to 1.79% for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from 1.39% for the three months ended June 30, 2018.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was $6.0 million, a decrease of $2.5 million, or 28.9%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to a $1.3 million decrease in the gain on sale of Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loans, a $434 thousand decrease in the value of investments in community development-oriented private equity funds used for Community Reinvestment Act (“CRA”) purposes, a $352 thousand decrease in prepayment fees and a $370 thousand decrease in derivative income earned during the three months ended June 30, 2019. This was partially offset by a $255 thousand increase in loan fees during the three months ended June 30, 2019.
Compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018, noninterest income for the three months ended June 30, 2019 grew by $3.7 million, or 163.5%. The increase was primarily due to a $2.6 million increase in service charges and fees on acquired deposit accounts resulting from our acquisition of Green deposit accounts and the associated income from these accounts, a $1.7 million increase in loan fees and a $671 thousand increase in the gain on sale of SBA loans during the three months ended June 30, 2019. This was partially offset by a $642 thousand loss on securities sold and a $434 thousand decrease in the value of CRA investments discussed in the paragraph above during the three months ended June 30, 2019.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense was $39.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $67.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, a decrease of $27.1 million, or 40.4%. The decrease was primarily driven by a $25.4 million decrease in merger and acquisition expenses related to our acquisition of Green, which were recorded in the first quarter of 2019. Merger and acquisition expenses recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2019 were primarily related to data processing expenses as a result of our system conversion and severance payments following our acquisition of Green.
Compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018, noninterest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2019 increased by $23.7 million, or 146.7%. The increase was primarily driven by a $9.8 million increase in salaries and employee benefits due to the addition of new Green employees, a $4.7 million increase in merger and acquisition expenses paid in connection with our acquisition of Green, and a $1.9 million, $1.9 million and $1.6 million increase in occupancy and equipment, amortization of intangibles and data processing and software expenses, respectively, related to our acquisition of Green.
Financial Condition
Total loans were $5.9 billion at June 30, 2019, an increase of $153.5 million, or 2.7%, compared to March 31, 2019. The increase was the result of the continued execution and success of our loan growth strategy.

2


Total deposits were $6.2 billion at June 30, 2019, a decrease of $132.6 million, or 2.1%, compared to March 31, 2019. The decrease was primarily the result of a decrease of $198.7 million in certificates and other time deposits, which was partially offset by increases of $29.0 million and $37.0 million in interest-bearing accounts and noninterest-bearing demand deposits, respectively.
Asset Quality
Allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans held for investment, including mortgage warehouse, was 0.42%, 0.37% and 0.61% of total loans at June 30, 2019, March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018, respectively. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans for each of the three quarters ended was determined by evaluating the qualitative factors around the nature, volume and mix of the loan portfolio. The increase in the allowance for loan loss as a percentage of loans held for investment from March 31, 2019 was attributable to the continued execution and success of our organic growth strategy, and was partially offset by payoffs of acquired loans and an increase in specific reserves on certain non-performing loans. The decrease in the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans held for investment from June 30, 2018 was attributable to our acquisition of Green as acquired loans are recorded at fair value. Our allowance for loan losses and remaining purchase discount on acquired loans as a percentage of loans held for investment, including mortgage warehouse, was 1.77%, 1.82% and 1.29% of total loans at June 30, 2019, March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018, respectively. We recorded a provision for loan losses for the three months ended June 30, 2019 of $3.3 million compared to $5.0 million and $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018, respectively.
Nonperforming assets totaled $43.3 million, or 0.54%, of total assets at June 30, 2019 compared to $23.1 million, or 0.29%, of total assets at March 31, 2019 and $4.9 million, or 0.16%, of total assets at June 30, 2018. The increase of $20.1 million compared to March 31, 2019 was driven by a $10.4 million and $11.1 million increase in originated accruing loans 90 days or more past due and acquired accruing loans 90 days or more past due, respectively. The increase in nonperforming assets of $38.4 million compared to June 30, 2018 was due in part to the placement of a $7.8 million purchased credit impaired (“PCI”) loan on non-accrual status as a result of information the Company obtained that precluded the Company from reasonably estimating the timing and amount of future cash flows relating to this loan. Excluding this PCI loan compared to June 30, 2018, the increase of $30.8 million in nonperforming assets was primarily the result of an increase in nonperforming loans of $29.0 million and an increase in other real estate owned of $1.8 million.
Dividend Information

On July 22, 2019, Veritex’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.125 per share on its outstanding shares of common stock. The dividend will be paid on or after August 22, 2019 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 8, 2019.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Veritex’s management uses certain non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) financial measures to evaluate its operating performance and provide information that is important to investors. However, non-GAAP financial measures are supplemental and should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, Veritex’s reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Specifically, Veritex reviews and reports tangible book value, tangible book value per common share, tangible common equity to tangible assets, return on average tangible common equity, pre-tax, pre-provision operating earnings, pre-tax, pre-provision operating return on average assets, diluted operating earnings per share, operating return on average assets, operating return on average tangible common equity and operating efficiency ratio. Veritex has included in this earnings release information related to these non-GAAP financial measures for the applicable periods presented. Please refer to “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” after the financial highlights at the end of this earnings release for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures.
Business Combinations Measurement Period
The measurement period for the Company to determine the fair values of acquired identifiable assets and assumed liabilities for Green will end at the earlier of (i) twelve months from the date of the acquisition or (ii) as soon as the Company receives the information it was seeking about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date or learns that more information is not obtainable. Provisional estimates have been recorded for the Green acquisition as independent valuations have not been finalized. The Company does not expect any significant differences from estimated values upon completion of the valuations.

Forward-Looking Statements
This earnings release contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are based on various facts and derived utilizing assumptions, current expectations, estimates and projections and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements relating to the impact Veritex expects its recently completed acquisition of Green to have on its operations, financial condition and financial results and Veritex’s expectations about its ability to successfully integrate the combined businesses of Veritex and Green and the amount of cost savings and overall operational efficiencies Veritex expects to realize as a result of the recently completed acquisition of Green. The forward-looking statements in this earnings release also include statements about the expected payment date of Veritex’s quarterly cash dividend, Veritex’s future financial performance, business and growth strategy, projected plans and objectives, as well as other projections based on macroeconomic and industry trends, which are inherently unreliable due to the multiple factors that impact broader economic and industry trends, and any such variations may be material. Statements preceded by, followed by or that otherwise include the words “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “projects,” “estimates,” “plans” and similar expressions or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “should,” “would,” “may” and “could” are generally forward-looking in nature and not historical facts, although not all forward-looking statements include the foregoing words. Further, certain factors that could affect future results and cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the possibility that the businesses of Veritex and Green will not be integrated successfully, that the cost savings and any synergies from the acquisition may not be fully realized or may take longer to realize than expected, disruption from the acquisition making it more difficult to maintain relationships with employees, customers or other parties with whom Veritex has (or Green had) business relationships, diversion of management time on integration-related issues, the reaction to the acquisition by Veritex’s and Green’s customers, employees and counterparties and other factors, many of which are beyond the control of Veritex. We refer you to the “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” sections of Veritex’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 and any updates to those risk factors set forth in Veritex’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), which are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. If one or more events related to these or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or if Veritex’s underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect,

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(Unaudited)

We identify certain financial measures discussed in this earnings release as being “non-GAAP financial measures.” In accordance with SEC rules, we classify a financial measure as being a non-GAAP financial measure if that financial measure excludes or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding or including amounts, that are included or excluded, as the case may be, in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as in effect from time to time in the United States (“GAAP”), in our statements of income, balance sheets or statements of cash flows. Non-GAAP financial measures do not include operating and other statistical measures or ratios calculated using exclusively either one or both of (i) financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP and (ii) operating measures or other measures that are not non-GAAP financial measures.

The non-GAAP financial measures that we present in this earnings release should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable or other financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, the manner in which we calculate the non-GAAP financial measures that we present in this earnings release may differ from that of other companies reporting measures with similar names. You should understand how such other financial institutions calculate their financial measures that appear to be similar or have similar names to the non-GAAP financial measures we have discussed in this earnings release when comparing such non-GAAP financial measures.

Tangible Book Value Per Common Share. Tangible book value is a non-GAAP measure generally used by financial analysts and
investment bankers to evaluate financial institutions. We calculate: (a) tangible common equity as total stockholders’ equity less goodwill and core deposit intangibles, net of accumulated amortization; and (b) tangible book value per common share as tangible common equity (as described in clause (a)) divided by number of common shares outstanding. For tangible book value per common share, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is our book value per common share.

We believe that this measure is important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in changes from period to period in book value per common share exclusive of changes in core deposit intangibles. Goodwill and other intangible assets have the effect of increasing total book value while not increasing our tangible book value.

The following table reconciles, as of the dates set forth below, total stockholders’ equity to tangible common equity and presents our tangible book value per common share compared with our book value per common share:

Tangible Common Equity to Tangible Assets. Tangible common equity to tangible assets is a non-GAAP measure generally used by financial analysts and investment bankers to evaluate financial institutions. We calculate: (a) tangible common equity as total stockholders’ equity, less goodwill and core deposit intangibles, net of accumulated amortization; (b) tangible assets as total assets less goodwill and core deposit intangibles, net of accumulated amortization; and (c) tangible common equity to tangible assets as tangible common equity (as described in clause (a)) divided by tangible assets (as described in clause (b)). For common equity to tangible assets, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is total stockholders’ equity to total assets.

We believe that this measure is important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in the relative changes from period to period in common equity and total assets, in each case, exclusive of changes in core deposit intangibles. Goodwill and other intangible assets have the effect of increasing both total stockholders’ equity and assets while not increasing our tangible common equity or tangible assets.

Return on Average Tangible Common Equity. Return on average tangible common equity is a non-GAAP measure generally used by financial analysts and investment bankers to evaluate financial institutions. We calculate: (a) return as net income less the effect of core deposit intangibles as net income, plus amortization of core deposit intangibles, net of taxes; (b) average tangible common equity as total average stockholders’ equity less average goodwill and average core deposit intangibles, net of accumulated amortization; and (c) return (as described in clause (a)) divided by average tangible common equity (as described in clause (b)). For return on average tangible common equity, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is return on average equity.

We believe that this measure is important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in the return on common equity, exclusive of the impact of core deposit intangibles. Goodwill and core deposit intangibles have the effect of increasing total stockholders’ equity while not increasing our tangible common equity. This measure is particularly relevant to acquisitive institutions that may have higher balances in goodwill and core deposit intangibles than non-acquisitive institutions.

The following table reconciles, as of the dates set forth below, average tangible common equity to average common equity and net income available for common stockholders adjusted for amortization of core deposit intangibles, net of taxes to net income and presents our return on average tangible common equity:

Operating Earnings, Pre-tax, Pre-provision Operating Earnings and performance metrics calculated using Operating Earnings and Pre-tax, Pre-provision Operating Earnings, including Diluted Operating Earnings per Share, Operating Return on Average Assets, Pre-tax, Pre-Provision Operating Return on Average Assets, Operating Return on Average Tangible Common Equity and Operating Efficiency Ratio. Operating earnings and pre-tax, pre-provision operating earnings are non-GAAP measures used by management to evaluate the Company’s financial performance. We calculate (a) net operating earnings as net income plus loss on sale of securities available-for-sale, net, less gain on sale of disposed branch assets, plus lease exit costs, net, plus branch closure expenses, plus one-time issuance of shares to all employees, plus merger and acquisition expenses, less tax impact of adjustments, plus re-measurement of deferred tax assets as a result of the reduction in the corporate income tax rate under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, plus other merger and acquisition discrete tax items. We calculate (b) pre-tax, pre-provision operating earnings as operating earnings as described in clause (a) plus provision for income taxes, plus provision for loan losses. We calculate (c) diluted operating earnings per share as operating earnings as described in clause (a) divided by weighted average diluted shares outstanding. We calculate (d) operating return on average tangible common equity as operating earnings as described in clause (a) divided by total average tangible common equity (average stockholders' equity less average goodwill and average core deposit intangibles, net of accumulated amortization.) We calculate (e) operating efficiency ratio as non interest expense plus adjustments to operating non interest expense divided by (i) non interest income plus adjustments to operating non interest income plus (ii) net interest income.

We believe that these measures and the operating metrics calculated utilizing these measures are important to management and many investors in the marketplace who are interested in understanding the ongoing operating performance of the Company and provide meaningful comparisons to its peers.
