CARY, N.C., Oct. 24, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Crescent Financial Corporation (Nasdaq:CRFN), parent company of Crescent State Bank headquartered in Cary, North Carolina, announced an unaudited net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2011, before adjusting for the effective dividend on preferred stock, of ($3,004,000) compared with ($1,884,000) for the three month period ended September 30, 2010. After adjusting for dividends and accretion on preferred stock of $442,000 and $423,000, respectively for each period, the net loss attributable to common shareholders for the current period was ($3,446,000) or ($0.36) per share compared to ($2,307,000) or ($0.24) per share for the prior year period. For reasons discussed below, the Company did not recognize any income tax benefit from the pre-tax loss during the current period. On a comparative pre-tax basis, the loss before the effective dividend on preferred stock was $453,000 less for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 than the ($3,458,000) reported for the quarter ended September 30, 2010. The improvement was attributable to the net impact of a higher net interest margin, smaller loan loss provision, 10% increase in noninterest income and was partially offset by a 2% increase in noninterest expenses.
Also announced today was that Piedmont Community Bank Holdings, Inc. ("Piedmont") received regulatory approval to invest $75.0 million in the Company and therefore will acquire a majority interest.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income for the three-month period ended September 30, 2011 declined by $55,000 or less than 1% and was $6.8 million for both three-month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. The yield on average earning assets decreased by 40 basis points from 5.45% to 5.05%, of which approximately 28 basis points was due to foregone interest income on nonperforming loans. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities declined by 53 basis points from 2.63% in the prior year period to 2.10% for the quarter ended September 30, 2011. The tax equivalent net interest margin increased to 3.17% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2011 compared to 3.08% for the prior period due to a higher interest rate spread and a slight increase in the percentage of average earning assets to average interest bearing liabilities.
Net interest income for the current three-month period increased by $411,000 or 7% when compared to $6.3 million for the second quarter of 2011 as a result of higher yields on earning assets and a lower cost of interest-bearing liabilities. The yield on earning assets increased by 8 basis points from 4.97%, the cost of interest-bearing liabilities declined by 14 basis points from 2.24% and the net interest margin increased by 22 basis points from 2.95%. The increase in the yield on earning assets was due in part to the recognition of interest income on two large loans transferred from nonaccrual to performing status. The decline in the Company's cost of funds was driven by lower deposit rates primarily in the interest-bearing demand category.
Provision for Loan Losses and Asset Quality
The provision for loan losses was $4.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 compared to $4.9 million recorded for the third quarter of 2010. The provision is dictated by management's assessment of the appropriate level of the loan loss reserve given qualitative factors driven by economic conditions and quantitative factors such as the level of historical charge-offs and specific reserves determined through the analysis of impaired loans. Annualized net charge-offs were 2.64% for the current quarter, 2.62% for the second quarter of 2011 and 2.96% for the third quarter of 2010. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total gross outstanding loans was 3.67% at September 30, 2011, 3.51% at June 30, 2011 and 2.60% at September, 2010.
Nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans held for investment was 7.00% at September 30, 2011 compared to 6.14% at June 30, 2011 and 4.42% at September 30, 2010. Total nonperforming assets, which include nonaccrual loans, loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing, other real estate owned and repossessed loan collateral, as a percentage of total assets at September 30, 2011 was 6.20% compared with 5.61% at June 30, 2011 and 4.71% at September 30, 2010. The loan loss reserve coverage ratio, which is the reserve as a percentage of nonperforming loans, was 52.42% at September 30, 2011, 57.07% at June 30, 2011 and 58.86% at September 30, 2010. The reduction in the loan loss reserve coverage ratio is due in part to the increase in nonaccrual loans and the partial charge-offs on collateral dependent loans.
The level of non-performing assets increased during the third quarter of 2011 due to the deterioration of several construction land development and commercial and industrial relationships originated primarily in our Triangle and Wilmington regions. Management continues to caution that future results will be dependent on reducing the number of loans migrating into a problem status. The Company will continue to devote resources to managing problem credits and adequately providing for future loan losses.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income increased by $129,000 or 10% to $1.4 million for the current period compared to $1.3 million for the period ended September 30, 2010. The increase is attributed to gains on the sale of investment securities of $236,000 less a $48,000 impairment write-down on an marketable equity investment. Brokerage referral revenue increased by $17,000 and service charges and other customer service related fees increased by $6,000. Due to the deferral of dividend payments on our preferred stock, the fair value fluctuations on the interest rate hedge related to those cash flows are now required to be recognized through earnings and during the third quarter of 2011 we recorded a $41,000 loss on an interest rate swap. Dividends from nonmarketable equity investments declined by $11,000 and revenue from mortgage related activities fell by $3,000.
On a linked quarter basis, non-interest income increased by $368,000 or 34%. Revenue from mortgage loan related activities increased by $216,000, gains on the sale of investment securities increased by $179,000 and revenue from service charges and customer service fees increased by $13,000. Primarily due to the loss on the interest rate swap, other miscellaneous noninterest income declined by $38,000.
Noninterest Expenses
Noninterest expenses increased by $117,000 or 2% to $6.8 million in the third quarter of 2011 compared to $6.7 million for the prior year period. The Company experienced a $180,000 increase in loan collection expenses compared to the three-month period ended September 30, 2010. Total loan collection expenses for the current quarter totaled $669,000 compared to $489,000 for the prior year period. The loan collection expenses were primarily related to foreclosed and repossessed loan collateral; $349,000 in acquisition and ongoing servicing costs, $307,000 in valuation write-downs less $17,000 in net gains on disposition. Legal and other professional fees increased by $159,000 primarily due to expenses related to the investment transaction with Piedmont. Data processing expenses increased by $59,000 due primarily to increased deposit account volumes and the demand for internet banking services from new commercial account relationships. Several areas of noninterest expense experienced declines over the comparative periods. FDIC deposit insurance decreased by $137,000 due to the new assessment structure, personnel expenses decreased by $83,000 and occupancy expenses are down by $30,000.
On a linked quarter basis, non-interest expenses declined by $1.1 million from $7.8 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2011. The decrease was primarily the result of a $978,000 decline in loan collection expenses from $1.6 million for the prior period. Valuation write-downs on existing real estate owned were $1.0 million during the second quarter of 2011.
Tax Provision
The Company did not record any tax benefit associated with the pre-tax loss for the three-month period ended September 30, 2011. At December 31, 2010, we determined that a portion of our deferred tax asset may not be realizable and established a valuation allowance of $2.1 million. Management evaluates the level of the valuation allowance quarterly taking into consideration credit quality trends, losses from operations and deviations from forecasted results. Over the first nine months of 2011, the valuation allowance has been increased by $5.4 million and totaled $7.5 million at September 30, 2011. There was no net income tax expense or benefit recognized for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 compared to an income tax benefit of $1.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2010.
Nine-Month Period
For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company reported a net loss, before adjusting for the effective dividend on preferred stock, of ($13,496,000) compared to ($5,351,000) for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. After adjusting for $1,306,000 and $1,264,000 in dividends and accretion on preferred stock for the two respective comparative periods, net loss attributable to common shareholders for the current period was ($14,802,000) or ($1.54) per share compared to net ($6,615,000) or ($0.69) per share for the prior year nine-month period. The current nine-month period results were impacted by a lower net interest margin, a 9% increase in noninterest expenses, a decrease in the recognition of an income tax benefit and was partially offset by lower loan loss provisions and a 3% increase in noninterest income.
Net interest income decreased by $2.7 million or 12% to $19.1 million from $21.8 million. The tax equivalent net interest margin for the current nine-month period contracted by 25 basis points from 3.23% to 2.98%. The provision for loan losses declined by $627,000 from $15.1 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 to $14.5 million for the current year period.
Non-interest income increased by $113,000 for the current nine-month period versus the same period in 2010. The increase is largely attributable to gains on the sale of investment securities of $526,000 less impairment write-downs on equity investments of $227,000. Components of noninterest income experiencing increases over the comparative period include brokerage referral revenue and customer deposit related service charges of $32,000 and $4,000, respectively. Areas experiencing decline include dividends on nonmarketable equity investments, earnings on cash value of bank owned life insurance and mortgage activity related revenue. Despite the low long-term mortgage rates, home valuations and credit concerns limited the volume of mortgage activity during the first half of 2011; however, as previously discussed, mortgage activity has increased during the most recent quarter.
Non-interest expenses increased by $1.7 million, or 9%, primarily in the categories of loan related expenses, legal and other professional fees, personnel, FDIC insurance and occupancy expenses. Through September 30, 2011, the Company has incurred approximately $719,000 in legal and consulting expenses related to the pending transaction with Piedmont. There was no tax benefit recorded for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011 compared to a $4.5 million benefit for the prior year comparative period.
Balance Sheet
Crescent Financial Corporation reported unaudited total assets at September 30, 2011 of $916.0 million. Total assets have declined since December 31, 2010 by approximately 6% or $57.1 million. Of the total decrease, total gross loans held for investment declined by $60.8 million or 9% from $676.8 million at December 31, 2009 to $616.0 million at September 30, 2011. Approximately $28.8 million of the decline is attributed to transferring loans to foreclosed or repossessed assets, charge-offs related to those accounts and loan sales. The remaining $32.0 million of the decline resulted from payments and payoffs of approximately $70.1 million, net of $38.1 million in new loans. Other significant movement in asset categories include a $35.0 million increase in investment securities available for sale and a $18.8 million decrease in interest-bearing cash and Fed funds sold.
Total deposits are $686.2 million at September 30, 2011 and have declined by $38.2 million since December 31, 2010 reflecting a diminished need of funds due to tepid loan demand. Time deposits declined by $38.4 million and was comprised of a $39.0 million decrease in brokered deposits and a $590,000 increase in retail time deposits. Time deposits represent 49% of total deposits at September 30, 2011 compared to 52% at December 31, 2010. Total non-time deposits grew by $171,000 during the first nine months of 2011, but the mix of non-time deposits between interest and noninterest-bearing deposit type shifted favorably. Noninterest-bearing demand deposits have increased by $8.7 million since December 31, 2010 from $62.0 million to $70.7 million while interest-bearing deposit types have declined by $8.5 million from $285.5 million to $277.0 million. Interest-bearing demand accounts have increased by $4.2 million primarily in the area of attorney trust accounts, money market accounts increased by $1.9 million and savings accounts have declined by $14.6 million. The decline in savings products is attributable to individuals and businesses relying more heavily on their savings to fund purchases as opposed to credit facilities.
Total borrowings have declined by $7.0 million since December 31, 2010. Total stockholders' equity was $67.0 million at September 30, 2011 compared to $79.0 million at year end 2010. The net decrease was primarily related to the net loss for the year and an increase in other comprehensive income. The total risk-based capital ratios at both the Company and Crescent State Bank remain strong and are 11.71% and 11.42%, respectively, at September 30, 2011.
Mike Carlton, President and CEO, stated, "The economy continues to present challenges for our customers, which in turn has a direct impact on our operating performance. During the third quarter, we continued to be diligent in identifying credits that portray collateral and cash flow weaknesses as a result of the current economic conditions. As such, the level of loan loss provision and charge offs has negatively impacted our earnings. However, after two consecutive quarters of negative pre-tax, pre-provision earnings, due primarily to reducing interest expense on deposits and noninterest expenses, the pre-tax, pre-provision earnings were positive for the current quarter. The recapitalization of the Company by Piedmont will provide additional strength to the balance sheet and a solid banking platform from which to execute their strategy to create a premier mid-size community bank."

Transaction with Piedmont
On February 23, 2011, Crescent Financial Corporation, Crescent State Bank and Piedmont entered into an investment agreement (the "Agreement") providing for the issuance of 18,750,000 shares of Crescent common stock at $4.00 per share for a total investment of $75.0 million. Piedmont has also agreed, subject to certain conditions, to commence a tender offer to purchase up to 6,442,105 shares of the Company's outstanding common stock at a price of $4.75 per share. This represents approximately two-thirds of the shares of the Company's common stock currently outstanding, and assuming all such shares were tendered, would result in Piedmont owning, when combined with the $75.0 million investment in newly issued shares, approximately 89% of the Company's outstanding common stock. The Agreement requires that the Company reincorporate as a Delaware corporation immediately prior to closing. The reincorporation will be effected through a merger of the Company with and into a newly formed Delaware corporation.
Consummation of the transaction is subject to receipt of all required regulatory approvals, which includes the approval of the Federal Reserve Bank, and the approval of the sale of common stock to Piedmont and the Delaware reincorporation by the Company's common and preferred shareholders. All regulatory approvals were obtained on October 21, 2011 and both common and preferred shareholders of Crescent approved these transactions on June 7, 2011.
This release is neither an offer to purchase nor a solicitation of an offer to sell securities. Piedmont will file a tender offer statement on Schedule TO with the SEC. Crescent stockholders are strongly advised to read the tender offer statement (including the offer to purchase, letter of transmittal and related tender offer documents) and the related solicitation/recommendation statement on Schedule 14D-9 that will be filed by Crescent with the SEC because they will contain important information about the proposed transaction.
