PASO ROBLES, Calif., July 23, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Heritage Oaks Bancorp (Nasdaq:HEOP), the parent company of Heritage Oaks Bank, today reported earnings for the second quarter of 2008. After a $2.8 million provision for loan losses, Heritage Oaks earned $691,000, or $0.09 per diluted share for the second quarter, compared to $1.8 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2007. For the first six months of 2008, net income was $2.4 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, compared to $3.3 million, or $0.47 per diluted share, in the first six months of 2007. The earnings per share calculation is impacted by both the decrease in earnings for the quarter as well as the October 2007 acquisition of Business First National Bank of Santa Barbara, in which, Heritage Oaks Bank issued 850,213 shares, resulting in an 11.4% increase in the number of average diluted shares outstanding compared to the second quarter of 2007.
"The continued changes in the national economy affected the entire banking industry, as well as the local markets that we serve. While loan and core deposit growth remains strong year-over-year as well as over the previous quarter, we have not been immune to asset quality deterioration," stated Lawrence P. Ward, President and CEO. "We believe our actions to strengthen our allowance for loan losses and address credit quality issues immediately is prudent for our future success. Even with these aggressive steps to meet credit quality concerns, our second quarter and year-date-results show that we remain well positioned for growth in our attractive markets."
Second Quarter 2008 Highlights:
* Net income was $691,000, or $0.09 per diluted share. * Net interest income increased 32% to $9.6 million compared to the same quarter a year ago. * Revenues advanced 31% to $11.3 million compared to the same quarter a year ago. * Core deposits increased 33% over a year ago, and represent 73% of total deposits. * Gross loans grew 43% to $660 million compared to a year ago. * Net interest margin was 5.28%. * Second quarter provision for ALLL $2.8 million.
Asset Quality
"Management has and will continue to perform an extensive review of the loan portfolio in an effort to identify any problem credits. Additionally, we formed a special assets division in March, to oversee all problem credits," said Ward. "As a result, as of June 30, 2008, all non performing loans (NPLs) have been written down and are now being carried at their fair market value." Based on the current economic outlook, the Bank believes it has taken a very aggressive position with respect to the adequacy of the loan loss reserve. "The large provision during the second quarter was partly based on identified credits which have been accounted for as of June 30, as well as our desire to build our reserve based on these very uncertain economic times" said Ward.
Non-performing assets increased to $13.7 million, or 1.71% of total assets at June 30, 2008, compared to $1.5 million, or 0.20% of total assets, at the end of the previous quarter and $555,000, or 0.09% of total assets a year earlier. Heritage Oaks recorded a $2.8 million provision for loan losses in the second quarter of 2008, compared to a $240,000 provision for loan losses in the previous quarter and $170,000 in the second quarter a year ago. For the first six months of the year it added $3.0 million to its provision for loan losses compared to only $310,000 in the first six months of 2007. The loan loss reserve now represents 1.23% of total loans outstanding, up from 0.99% at the end of the first quarter, 2008.
During the second quarter of 2008, the Bank moved into OREO one credit of just under $200,000. The foreclosed property had previously been accounted for as a non performing loan and had been written down to its fair market value. No additional charge off was required at the time the property was moved into OREO. Another credit of $50,000 was written down to $29,000 at the time the Bank took possession of the property securing the loan. The Bank received a cash offer to sell the underlying property early in July and on July 21, the Bank closed on the sale and booked a net recovery of $15,000.
Loans on non-accrual status totaled $13.4 million at June 30, 2008 compared to $1.5 million at March 31, 2008. In May 2008, the Company reported in an 8-K filing with the SEC, an increase in non-accrual loans of approximately $11 million. All loans on non-accrual are carried at fair value pursuant to FASB 114. As of June 30, 2008, non-accruing loans consist of the following:
1. Nine loans in the approximate amount of $10.4 million to three borrowers all representing single family spec construction loans located in various coastal communities along the Central Coast. 2. Five loans in the approximate amount of $2.3 million all secured by commercial real estate and single family residences. 3. Eight loans in the approximate amount of $700,000 to five borrowers that are collateralized by various business assets and personal collateral.
Credit quality is consistently monitored and Management has implemented additional precautionary actions that include but are not limited to pro-actively identifying credit weaknesses earlier in the collection cycle, increasing the oversight frequency of watch list credits and devoting additional internal resources to monitoring those credits.
The allowance for loan losses were $8.1 million, or 1.23% of total loans outstanding at June 30, 2008, compared to $6.3 million, or 0.99% of total loans outstanding at March 31, 2008, and $4.5 million, or 0.98% of total loans outstanding, at June 30, 2007. The Bank took a total provision for loan losses during the second quarter of 2008 in the amount of $2.8 million. $1.4 million of the increase over last year is attributable to the credit from the purchase of Business First. During the second quarter 2008, the Bank charged off a total of $1.023 million and recognized total recoveries in the amount of $72 thousand. Of the total dollars charged off during the second quarter of 2008, the Bank charged off two C&I loans in the amount of just under $500 thousand. The balance of the losses, approximately $530 thousand, was the result of obtaining new appraisals on spec construction loans that had been placed on non-accrual status.
Heritage Oaks Bank has no direct exposure to subprime mortgage lending and very little exposure for speculative construction for single family residences.
Balance Sheet
Loan growth was strong for the quarter, with the largest increase in commercial and industrial loans, which increased 16% at June 30, 2008, compared to March 31, 2008. "Throughout the second quarter, we have chosen not to originate single family spec construction loans, nor do we see this as a viable product for the foreseeable future. Additionally, the Bank continues to employ stringent lending standards, remaining very selective in the types of loans we choose to fund." Ward said.
Net loans grew 3% over the prior quarter and 43% year-over year. Net loans were $650 million at June 30, 2008, compared to $454 million a year earlier, with the Business First acquisition accounting for approximately 27% of total net loan growth on a year over year basis. The loans added from Business First are primarily real estate loans, all of which have undergone a thorough due diligence by the Bank's internal credit department. During the quarter ended June 30, 2008, approximately $200 thousand of loans acquired from Business First were charged off. This represents only 0.02% of total assets. At June, 30, 2008, no loans acquired in the acquisition of Business First were on non-accrual status.
Total assets increased 36% to a record $800 million at June 30, 2008, compared to $590 million a year earlier.
"We are constantly looking for ways to expand our banking products in an effort to grow core deposits," said Ward. "During the second quarter we began offering a new electronic demand deposit interest bearing account and we introduced our successful variable interest rate money market account to our Santa Barbara market. We believe these new products, as well as the products we already have in place will help us grow core deposit to fund future loan growth."
Total deposits grew 30% to $635 million at June 30, 2008, compared to $489 million a year ago. The Business First acquisition accounted for 27% of total deposit growth on a year over year basis. Core deposits increased 33% to $462 million at June 30, 2008, compared to $347 million a year ago, and now represent 73% of total deposits. Time deposits of $100,000 or more increased significantly, largely due to the addition of $30 million of brokered certificates of deposit during the quarter, which were at an average rate of 3.33%. Heritage Oaks reduced its Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) borrowings by $5.0 million during the second quarter of 2008.
Operating Results
The net interest margin was 5.28% for the second quarter, compared to 5.33% during the preceding quarter and 5.56% for the second quarter a year ago. For the first six months of the year the net interest margin was 5.31%, compared to 5.61% for the first six months of 2007. "Our margin compressed compared to the preceding quarter, as we felt the full impact of the 200 basis point decrease in the Fed Funds rate by the Federal Reserve during the first three months of 2008," Ward said. "However, core deposit growth contributed to keeping our margin above peer levels."
Total revenues, consisting of net interest income before the provision for loan losses and non-interest income, climbed 31% to $11.3 million in the second quarter, from $8.6 million in the second quarter of 2007. For the first six months of the year total revenues increased 30% to $21.9 million, compared to $16.9 million in the first six months of 2007. Net interest income grew 32% to $9.6 million in the second quarter compared to $7.3 million in the second quarter a year ago. Year-to-date, net interest income increased 31% to $18.7 million compared to $14.3 million in the first half of 2007. Interest and fees on loans increased 15% for the second quarter compared to the second quarter a year ago while interest expense decreased 16% for the second quarter compared to the second quarter a year ago.
Noninterest income was up 26% for the quarter and 22% year-to-date, compared to the respective periods a year ago, largely due to the Visa IPO income of $275,000 in the second quarter, as well as a substantial increase in service charges on deposit accounts, which rose 22% during the quarter and 24% year-to-date, compared to the respective periods last year. Total noninterest income was $1.8 million for the second quarter compared to $1.4 million for the second quarter a year ago and year-to-date noninterest income was $3.2 million compared to $2.6 million for the same period a year ago.
Non interest expense decreased in the second quarter of 2008 compared to the preceding quarter, largely due to decreases in Salaries and Related as well as Other non interest expense. "During the second quarter we reorganized our executive team, eliminating one position which should result in improved efficiencies in the second half of the year." stated Ward. "Total non-interest expense was $7.5 million for the second quarter compared to $7.6 million in the previous quarter and $5.6 million in the second quarter a year ago. Year-to-date, total non-interest expense was $15.1 million compared to $11.3 million during the same period a year earlier.
"Even with the reduction of non interest expenses in the second quarter of 2008, the Bank did recognize over $200,000 in non recurring Salaries expenses as a result of the reorganization and about $125,000 non recurring Other non interest expenses. Non interest expenses for the second quarter 2008 are up when compared to the same reporting period a year ago, with a majority of the increase directly related to our larger organization due to the acquisition of Business First," said Ward.
Performance Measures and Capital Adequacy
At June 30, 2008, the acquisition of Business First accounts for the addition of nearly $150 million in assets along with $13.8 million in equity over that which was reported at June 30, 2007. As a result, return on average assets was 0.35% in the second quarter of 2008 compared to 1.25% in the second quarter of 2007. For the first half of the year, return on average assets was 0.62%, compared to 1.17% for the first half of 2007. Return on average equity was 3.84% for the second quarter compared to 13.84% in the second quarter a year ago, and 6.66% for the first half of the year, compared to 13.0% in the first half of 2007. The Business First acquisition is expected to be accretive to earnings per share by the end of 2008.
The efficiency ratio was 66.31% in the second quarter of 2008 compared to 72.17% in the previous quarter and 64.32% in the second quarter a year ago. For the first half of the year the efficiency ratio was 69.14% compared to 66.55% in the first half of 2007. The efficiency ratio measures operating expenses as a percent of revenues.
As a result of the acquisition of Business First, shareholders' equity increased 35% to $70.9 million at June 30, 2008, compared to $52.5 million a year ago. Book value per share was $9.19 at June 30, 2008, compared to $7.72 per share a year earlier and tangible book value per share was $7.23 at June 30, 2008, compared to $6.89 a year earlier.
