EVANSVILLE, Ind., April 30, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Integra Bank Corporation (Nasdaq:IBNK) today reported financial results for the first quarter of 2009.
The net loss available to common shareholders for the first quarter of 2009 was $28.5 million, or $1.37 per diluted share. The provision for loan losses was $31.4 million, down from $38.2 million during the fourth quarter of 2008, while net-charge-offs totaled $17.3 million, or 2.86% of total loans on an annualized basis. The high level of provision was due to continued weakness in the residential construction loan portfolio. The net interest margin for the first quarter of 2009 was 2.39%.
In February 2009, the U.S. Department of Treasury invested $83.6 million in the Company in the form of senior preferred stock and a related warrant to purchase common stock on the standard terms and conditions of the TARP Capital Purchase Program. The senior preferred stock bears a five percent dividend for each of the first five years of the investment and nine percent thereafter. The shares are callable by the Company at par at any time subject to prior consultation with the Company's federal banking regulator. The Treasury Department also received a warrant to purchase 7,418,876 shares of common stock at $1.69 per share for a ten year period.
"Our first quarter results reflect continued deterioration in our residential construction portfolios and our concurrent actions to build our loan loss reserve, which is now 3.24% of total loans," stated Mike Vea, Chairman, President and CEO. "We are starting to see some positive signs with lower delinquencies and an increase in pending residential unit sales. While not robust, it is an indication that the housing sector may be approaching bottom. Our levels of non-performing loans in the next few quarters will be largely dependent upon the housing sector and our regional economy. We continue to monitor and manage our real estate exposure closely, given the current economic environment. Our consumer and business banking areas continue to perform well," Vea added.
The net loss for the first quarter of 2009 includes $0.4 million of preferred stock dividends and discount accretion related to the Treasury warrant. It also includes a $4.7 million non-tax deductible mark to market adjustment for the warrant that reduced earnings. The warrant was reflected as a liability because it was not fully exercisable at the time of issuance. In April 2009, the Company's shareholders approved an increase in the authorized shares of common stock and the issuance of the common stock upon exercise of the warrant, at which point the Company began accounting for the warrant as equity. This reclassification improved the Company's capital ratios in April 2009, but did not affect those of Integra Bank N.A. The net loss also included a $5.0 million valuation allowance against the Company's deferred tax asset.
The allowance to total loans increased 65 basis points during the first quarter of 2009, to 3.24% at March 31, 2009, while the allowance to non-performing loans decreased from 43% to 42%. Non-performing loans increased to $189.2 million, or 7.80% of total loans, compared to $150.9 million, or 6.06% of total loans at December 31, 2008. The increase in non-performing loans came primarily within residential construction and development loans, which comprise approximately 67% of total non-performing loans. Other real estate owned increased $0.5 million during the first quarter of 2009, bringing total non-performing assets to $209.1 million at March 31, 2009.
Net interest income was $17.5 million for the first quarter of 2009, compared to $21.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2008, while the net interest margin was 2.39%, compared to 2.86% for the fourth quarter of 2008. A 51 basis point decline in liability costs during the first quarter was outpaced by an 81 basis point decline in earning asset yields. The decline in earning asset yields was driven by the increase in non-accrual loans, actions taken to improve liquidity, and the impact of the yield curve.
Total assets increased $198.4 million during the first quarter of 2009, driven by an increase in cash and due from banks of $291.4 million. The increase in short-term liquid funds was funded by the $83.6 million Treasury Department investment, an increase in time deposits of $128.3 million, increases in low cost deposits, which include non-interest checking, NOW and savings deposits of $72.9 million and decreases in loans and securities totaling $84.8 million. The increase in short-term liquid funds improved liquidity, but had a negative impact on the net interest margin. During the quarter, Integra Bank issued a $50 million, 2.625% senior unsecured note due in 2012 on a pooled basis as part of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation's Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program.
Commercial loan average balances increased $3.5 million in the first quarter of 2009, or 0.8% on an annualized basis. This included growth in commercial real estate of $10.8 million, or 3.4% annualized, and a decline in commercial and industrial of $7.3 million, or 5.5% annualized. The growth in commercial real estate came primarily from fundings of previously committed construction loans.
Non-interest income was $5.5 million for the first quarter of 2009, compared to $5.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2008 and included $2.5 million of branch sale gains, other-than-temporary securities impairment of $1.2 million and the $4.7 million non-tax deductible mark to market adjustment for the Treasury warrant that reduced non-interest income. The fourth quarter of 2008 included other-than-temporary securities impairment of $4.3 million. Deposit service charges, which are typically lower during the first quarter of each year, declined $1.0 million from the fourth quarter of 2008 and $0.3 million from the first quarter of 2008.
Non-interest expense for the first quarter of 2009 was $29.5 million, compared to $99.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2008, which included $74.8 million of goodwill impairment. Loan and other real estate owned expenses increased $4.4 million from the fourth quarter of 2008.
The income tax benefit for the first quarter of 2009 was $9.8 million. The tax benefit was a result of the net loss, the impact of low income housing tax credits and tax free loan, municipal security and bank-owned life insurance income, partially offset by a $5.0 million federal and state income tax valuation allowance.
Integra Bank's ratios remain above the regulatory minimum for well capitalized status.
On April 9, 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued three Final Staff Positions (FSPs) that provide additional application guidance and enhance disclosures regarding fair value measurements and impairments of securities. Integra did not elect to early adopt these standards and will adopt them during the second quarter of 2009.
