  • Loan loss provisions were reduced by $1.89 million, or 49.61%, from the third quarter of 2010.
  • Tangible book value per common share increased to $11.25, up $1.22, or 12.16%, from December 31, 2010.
  • The Company's efficiency ratio of 56.84% for the third quarter of 2011 was an improvement over the ratios reported in the second quarter of 2011 of 59.03% and the third quarter of 2010 of 58.92%.
  • During the third quarter of 2011, the Company repurchased 48,310 shares.
  • The Company significantly exceeds regulatory "well-capitalized" targets with a total risk-based capital ratio of 17.91%, Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 16.65%, and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 11.24% at September 30, 2011.

Net Interest Income

Tax-equivalent net interest margin for the third quarter of 2011 was 3.77% compared to 3.87% in the comparable quarter of 2010.  Net interest income was $17.73 million for the third quarter of 2011, a decrease of $863 thousand, or 4.64%, from the third quarter of 2010.  Total interest income was $23.05 million for the third quarter of 2011, a decrease of $2.79 million, or 10.80%, from the third quarter of 2010.  The decrease in interest income reflects continued slow loan demand and the Company's conservative deployment of excess cash to manage its long-term risk profile.  The yield on loans was 5.79% for the third quarter of 2011, a decrease from 6.07% in the same period of the prior year, while average loans decreased $25.60 million between the comparable periods to $1.38 billion as loan demand remains low.  The Company continued to maintain a high level of liquidity with average overnight liquidity of $140.29 million during the third quarter of 2011.

Total interest expense for the third quarter of 2011 was $5.32 million, a decrease of $1.93 million, or 26.60%, from the third quarter of 2010.  Third quarter 2011 deposit costs decreased $1.87 million compared to the third quarter of 2010, which was primarily due to a decrease in the average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits of 47 basis points to 0.88%.  Third quarter 2011 borrowing costs decreased $53 thousand compared to the third quarter of 2010, while the average borrowings balance decreased $41.75 million between the comparable periods due to the redemption of various wholesale borrowings.  The cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 35 basis points to 1.27% during the third quarter of 2011 compared to same quarter of the prior year. Average interest-bearing liabilities decreased $117.58 million, or 6.62% for the third quarter of 2011 compared with the third quarter of 2010, which included a decrease of $26.34 million in Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") borrowings and other long-term debt.

Provision

The provision for loan losses for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2011, totaled $1.92 million and $6.61 million, respectively, which compares favorably to the provision for loan losses for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2010, of $3.81 million and $11.07 million, respectively. The third quarter of 2011 marks the fifth consecutive quarter of provision decreases when compared to the prior year's comparable quarter.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income for the third quarter of 2011 decreased $2.87 million, or 26.26%, compared to the third quarter of 2010 largely due to a reduction in realized gains on the investment securities portfolio. During the third quarter of 2011, wealth management income totaled $868 thousand, a decrease of $41 thousand, or 4.51%, from the third quarter of 2010.  The Trust and Wealth Management Divisions reported $829 million in assets under management at September 30, 2011.  Service charges on deposit accounts totaled $3.40 million for the third quarter of 2011, a decrease of $53 thousand, or 1.53%, from the third quarter of 2010.  Insurance commissions were $1.52 million for the third quarter of 2011, a decrease of $140 thousand, or 8.42%, from the comparable quarter of 2010. Net gains on the sales of securities decreased $2.40 million, or 93.08%, in the third quarter of 2011 compared to the same period of the prior year. Included in noninterest income are net gains of $67 thousand on the sale of two insurance agencies that occurred during the third quarter of 2011. The Company has the potential to recognize $650 thousand in additional gain over time as earn-out payments are received.

Noninterest Expenses

Noninterest expenses for the third quarter of 2011 decreased $1.37 million, or 7.85%, compared to the third quarter of 2010.  Salaries and employee benefits decreased $344 thousand, or 3.93%, in the third quarter of 2011 compared to the same period in the prior year.  Occupancy, furniture, and equipment expense for the third quarter of 2011 decreased $161 thousand, or 6.44%, compared to the third quarter of 2010. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") deposit insurance premiums decreased $370 thousand, or 51.53% in the third quarter of 2011, compared to the third quarter of 2010, primarily due to the FDIC's change in assessment methodology for deposit insurance to one based on tangible assets.  Other operating expenses were $4.72 million for the third quarter of 2011, a decrease of $484 thousand, or 9.31%, from the third quarter of 2010.  Included in other operating expenses are expenses and losses associated with other real estate that amounted to $675 thousand in the third quarter of 2011, compared to $1.76 million in the second quarter of 2011 and $801 thousand in the third quarter of 2010. 

Credit Quality

The Company's loan quality measures at September 30, 2011, continue to compare favorably to the industry.  Total loan delinquencies of 30 days or more, including non-accrual loans, as a percent of total loans were 2.30% at September 30, 2011, compared to 2.62% at December 31, 2010.  This compares favorably to the most recent Federal Reserve report of the Company's peer group of bank holding companies with total assets between $1 and $3 billion, which reports peer total loan delinquencies of 4.10%.  The ratio of the allowance for loan losses as a percent of loans held for investment was 1.92% at September 30, 2011, compared to 1.91% at December 31, 2010.

Total non-performing assets, which include unseasoned loan restructurings and other real estate owned, were 1.34% of total assets at September 30, 2011, and non-performing loans as a percentage of loans held for investment were 1.73%.  These levels are much better by comparison with those in the Federal Reserve peer group which were last reported at 3.21% for total non-performing assets to total assets and 3.43% for non-performing loans to total loans.  Included in non-performing assets are $964 thousand of unseasoned loan restructurings at September 30, 2011.

Annualized net charge-offs were 0.57% of average loans held for investment for the third quarter of 2011. This represents a decrease of 33 basis points from 0.90% for the second quarter of 2011 and continues a general downward trend in net charge-offs.

Balance Sheet

Consolidated assets were $2.22 billion at September 30, 2011.  Total stockholders' equity was $304.12 million at September 30, 2011, resulting in a book value per common share, on an as-converted basis, of $15.86, compared to total stockholders' equity of $269.88 million and a book value per common share of $15.11 at December 31, 2010.  During the third quarter of 2011, the Company paid a $0.10 per share dividend on common shares.

Non-GAAP Presentations

The Company prepares its financial statements under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or "GAAP."  However, this press release also refers to certain non-GAAP financial measures that we believe, when considered together with GAAP financial measures, provide investors with important information regarding our operational performance.  An analysis of any non-GAAP financial measure should be used in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP.

Core earnings are a non-GAAP financial measure that reflect net income excluding non-recurring income and expense items, taxes, loan loss provisions, losses on other real estate owned, as well as gains, losses, impairment losses on securities, and goodwill impairments from net income.  These excluded items are difficult to predict and we believe that core earnings provide the Company and investors with a valuable tool to evaluate the Company's financial results.

The adjusted efficiency ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure that is computed by dividing core non-interest expense by the sum of net interest income on a tax equivalent basis and core non-interest income.  We believe that this measure provides investors with important information about our operating efficiency.  Comparison of our adjusted efficiency ratio with those of other companies may not be possible because other companies may calculate the adjusted efficiency ratio differently.

Tangible book value per share is a non-GAAP financial measure that is defined as stockholders' equity less goodwill and other intangible assets, divided by as-converted common shares outstanding.
