Integra Bank Corporation Reports First Quarter 2010 Results


EVANSVILLE, Ind., May 5, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Integra Bank Corporation (Nasdaq:IBNK) today reported financial results for the first quarter of 2010.

The net loss available to common shareholders for the first quarter of 2010 was $53.9 million, or $2.61 per diluted share, compared to $96.1 million, or $4.64 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2009. The provision for loan losses was $52.7 million, up $22.2 million from $30.5 million during the fourth quarter of 2009, while net charge-offs totaled $39.4 million, or 7.67% of total loans on an annualized basis, an $18.2 million increase from $21.2 million, or 3.86% of total loans annualized for the fourth quarter of 2009. The net interest margin was 2.40% for both the first quarter of 2010 and the fourth quarter of 2009.

"Our first quarter results reflect continued weakness in commercial real estate, which was reflected in our large provision and net charge-offs as well as a change in our non-performing asset disposition strategy that will result in quicker disposition of those assets as opportunities arise. We will take advantage of opportunities to sell, exchange for other assets or accept discounted payoffs where appropriate, particularly in situations where we believe it would take several quarters for values to recover. Our efforts continue to be focused around reducing our level of non-performing assets, improving our capital and liquidity and increasing the operating income of our core community banking franchise," stated Mike Alley, Chairman and CEO. "Since we announced our results for 2009 approximately two months ago, we have announced two branch and loan sales in addition to the three pending multi-branch/loan transactions we announced earlier. These pending branch sale transactions are a key component of our plan to increase regulatory capital," Alley added. 

The net loss for the first quarter of 2010 stems mainly from the provision for credit losses. The net loss for the fourth quarter of 2009 included an increase in the tax valuation allowance of $75.6 million, a $5.3 million deposit premium and a $1.5 million write-down of the two banking facilities that were retained in a branch sale. Non-performing assets increased $11.6 million during the first quarter of 2010 to $258.5 million at March 31, 2010. 

Integra Bank N.A. ("Integra Bank") has agreed to sell its offices located in Mayfield and Cadiz, Kentucky, along with a group of commercial loans to FNB Bank, Inc. ("FNB") of Mayfield, Kentucky.  The Company expects these transactions will close in the third quarter of 2010 and improve Integra Bank's tier 1 and total risk based capital ratios by approximately 75 basis points, while increasing its tier 1 leverage ratio by approximately 50 basis points. The transactions are also expected to increase the Company's tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio by approximately 25 basis points.

Integra Bank has agreed to sell its Maysville and Mt. Olivet, Kentucky and Ripley and Aberdeen, Ohio banking offices to Citizens Deposit Bank and Trust ("Citizens"), of Vanceburg, Kentucky, as well as a group of commercial loans. The Company expects these transactions to also close in the third quarter of 2010 and that they will improve Integra Bank's tier 1 and total risk based capital ratios by approximately 55 basis points, while increasing its tier 1 leverage ratio by approximately 30 basis points. The transactions are also expected to increase the Company's tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio by approximately 15 basis points.

Integra Bank has also agreed to sell thirteen banking centers along with groups of commercial loans in three previously disclosed transactions with United Community Bank ("United"), The Cecilian Bank ("Cecilian"), and First Security Bank ("First Security"). These transactions are expected to close in June or July of 2010 and are expected to include approximately $265.0 million in loans and $287.6 million in deposits, while generating deposit premiums less loan discounts of approximately $12.4 million. These three transactions are expected to improve Integra Bank's tier 1 and total risk based capital ratios by approximately 210 basis points, while increasing its tier 1 leverage ratio by approximately 130 basis points. The transactions are also expected to increase the Company's tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio by approximately 70 basis points. 

The closing of the branch sale to First Security, FNB and Citizens is dependent on their ability to raise additional capital to obtain approval by their primary regulators. The other two transactions are not dependent on the acquirers' ability to raise additional capital and have received regulatory approval. Therefore, the loans, premises and equipment for these two other transactions are classified as held for sale at March 31, 2010.

The allowance to total loans increased 96 basis points during the first quarter of 2010, to 5.35% at March 31, 2010, and the allowance to non-performing loans increased from 41% to 46%. Non-performing loans increased $7.2 million to $222.1 million, or 11.66% of total loans, compared to $214.9 million, or 10.6% of total loans at December 31, 2009. The increase in non-performing loans was due to additional loans being classified as non-performing, partially offset by an increase in net charge-offs of $18.2 million.

Net interest income was $14.9 million for the first quarter of 2010, compared to $15.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2009, while the net interest margin remained at 2.40%. The yield on earning assets declined 1 basis point during the first quarter of 2010, while liability costs declined by 6 basis points. 

Commercial loan average balances decreased $66.7 million in the first quarter of 2010, or 16.6% on an annualized basis. Commercial and industrial loan average balances decreased $19.5 million, from the fourth quarter of 2009, partially as a result of the loan and branch sales to The Bank of Kentucky late in the fourth quarter. There was also a decline in construction and land development loans of $48.1 million. Low cost deposit average balances decreased $44.1 million during the first quarter of 2010 to $1.0 billion. The decrease was primarily due to The Bank of Kentucky transactions which included the sale of $35.9 million in low cost deposits in December 2009.   

Non-interest income was $7.6 million for the first quarter of 2010, compared to $13.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2009. The difference was largely due to the fourth quarter of 2009 $5.3 million deposit premium from The Bank of Kentucky transaction. The first quarter also included a decrease of $1.1 million in deposit service charges and an other-than-temporary impairment charge on two trust preferred securities of $0.2 million.

Non-interest expense was $22.5 million for the first quarter of 2010, compared to $23.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2009. During the fourth quarter of 2009, building impairment charges of $1.6 million were taken to reflect the fair value of three properties that were held for sale.

The Company established an addition to its deferred income tax valuation reserve of $19.0 million for the tax benefit generated during the first quarter of 2010 that resulted from its reported loss.

Integra Bank's total risk-based capital ratio was 8.00%, a decrease of 205 basis points from December 31, 2009, which classifies Integra Bank as adequately capitalized for regulatory purposes at March 31, 2010. The Company was considered undercapitalized for the Tier 1 leverage ratio under regulatory guidelines. The decrease resulted from the impact of the quarter's net loss. Integra Bank's tier 1 risk-based capital ratio decreased 205 basis points to 6.71% and its tier 1 leverage ratio decreased 139 basis points to 4.91%. In August 2009, Integra Bank agreed with the OCC to develop a plan to increase the bank's tier one capital level to at least 8%, and its risk-based capital to at least 11.5%. The OCC continues to reevaluate Integra Bank's progress towards the higher capital ratios.
