Rurban Financial Corp. Reports 2009 Third Quarter Financial Results


DEFIANCE, Ohio, Oct. 28, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rurban Financial Corp. (Nasdaq:RBNF), a leading provider of full-service community banking, investment management, trust services and bank data and item processing, reported 2009 third quarter earnings of $160 thousand, or $0.03 per diluted share, compared to the $1.43 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, reported in the 2008 third quarter, and the $1.00 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, for the 2009 second quarter. For the 2009 third quarter, a loan loss provision of $898 thousand was taken to address problem credits. In addition, pre-tax charges associated with the planned spin-off of RDSI Banking Systems, Rurban's data and item processing subsidiary, included increased legal fees of $155 thousand, accelerated depreciation of the ITI software used at RDSI of $360 thousand, and expenses incurred at RDSI for the ramp-up conversion of clients to the Single Source(tm) system totaling $335 thousand. The details explaining the planned spin-off were included in our prior Press Release dated October 22, 2009.

For the first nine months of 2009, consolidated earnings were $2.3 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, compared to $3.9 million, or $0.79 per diluted share, recorded for the first nine months of 2008. The year-to-date earnings have been impacted by an increased provision for loan loss reserve of $1.3 million compared to the 2008 provision, $300 thousand in special FDIC insurance assessments, $411 thousand in legal fees associated with the contemplated RDSI spin-off and the related merger of RDSI with new Core Banking Systems, $360 thousand in additional accelerated depreciation at RDSI and expenses incurred at RDSI to ramp-up for converting client banks to the Single Source(tm) system totaling $335 thousand. Offsetting these cost were gains from the sale of securities of $477 thousand recorded in the second quarter 2009.

Kenneth A. Joyce, President and CEO of Rurban Financial Corp., stated, "While the banking industry remains difficult, we are excited about our future as we are making progress in executing our strategic plan to keep our companies competitive and on the cutting edge of technology. A key part of this strategic direction is our intended spin-off of RDSI Banking Systems from the Holding Company. We believe this action will increase RDSI's long-term valuation. Although we faced many challenges over the last several months in executing this strategy, we have, and will continue to incur, additional expenses associated with the spin-off, and we believe that taking a more aggressive approach with our strategic plan is the right direction to bring value to our shareholders."

The State Bank and Trust Company, the Banking Segment, reported earnings of $712 thousand in the third quarter of 2009 compared to $1.2 million in the third quarter of 2008. This decline was primarily driven by the additional $752 thousand of loan loss reserves taken this quarter, compared to the previous year quarter.

RDSI earnings were $8 thousand during the third quarter 2009, down from the $664 thousand earned in the year-ago quarter, and $608 thousand reported for the second quarter 2009. This decline in earnings is due to the pre-tax $695 thousand of expenses associated with the proposed spin-off and the acquisition by RDSI of its own intellectual property through a strategic partnership with New Core Banking Systems versus its previous use of third party processing software.

As a background to the spin-off, RDSI announced in April, 2009 that it had entered into a strategic partnership with New Core Holdings, Inc. d/b/a New Core Banking Systems, to be the exclusive provider of New Core's Single Source(tm) banking application to the banking industry. As part of this partnership, RDSI and New Core Banking Systems entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger that provides for the merger of RDSI and New Core Banking Systems. A prerequisite to this merger would be the spin-off of RDSI from Rurban, resulting in RDSI becoming a separate independent public company. As detailed in our Press Release dated October 22, 2009, we are moving forward in connection with the planned spin-off and we currently anticipate that the spin-off would be completed in the first quarter of 2010, subject to the satisfaction of a number of conditions. It is expected that the merger between RDSI and New Core Banking Systems will be completed immediately following the contemplated spin-off.

The following chart and narrative reflect the combined results of Rurban across both of its business segments, banking and data / item processing:



 CONSOLIDATED - THIRD QUARTER RESULTS

 (Dollars in thousands except per share data)

 Earnings:                                  3Q 2009  2Q 2009  3Q 2008
 ---------                                  -------  -------  -------
 Net interest income                        $ 5,337  $ 5,361  $ 4,448
 Non-interest income                          7,076    7,897    6,989
 Revenue                                     12,413   13,258   11,437
 Provision for loan losses                      898      799      146
 Non-interest expense                        11,454   11,108    9,279
 Net income                                     160    1,003    1,424
 Diluted EPS                                $  0.03  $  0.20  $  0.29

Net interest income increased to $5.3 million for the quarter, compared to $4.5 million for the third quarter of 2008. This 20.0 percent increase is due primarily to the acquisition of the five banking centers in Williams County, coupled with a 22 basis point improvement in State Bank's net interest margin for the year-over-year period. The net interest margin continued, for the second consecutive quarter, to be above 4 percent. By implementing an aggressive asset liability process, the Company has positioned the balance sheet to be asset-sensitive, which should provide for additional margin improvement, as rates will most likely increase in the future. Loan growth totaled $7.2 million, or 6.5 percent on an annualized basis for the third quarter of 2009.

Non-interest income totaled $7.1 million for the third quarter of 2009, compared to $7.0 million for the 2008 third quarter. Mortgage banking revenue increased gain-on-sale of loans to $722 thousand for the 2009 third quarter from the $133 thousand for the 2008 third quarter. Offsetting this increase was a decline in Trust fees of $136 thousand due to the decline in the equity market valuations and a decrease in Data Processing revenue of $141 thousand. During the third quarter of 2008, the company recorded $223 thousand in gain-on-sale of assets from the sale of the real estate of a closed branch office.

Non-interest expense for the 2009 third quarter totaled $11.5 million compared to $9.3 million for the third quarter of 2008, for an increase of $2.2 million. Approximately $429 thousand is attributable to the core operating expenses related to the December 2008 acquisition of National Bank of Montpelier and its Williams County banking centers. Also contributing to the increase, was the aforementioned increase in legal fees associated with the planned spin-off of RDSI of $155 thousand, accelerated depreciation of the ITI software used at RDSI of $360 thousand, and expenses incurred at RDSI for ramp-up for converting clients to the Single Source(tm) system totaling $335 thousand. Mortgage banking expenses increased by $545 thousand for the third quarter 2009 compared to the third quarter 2008.

CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET

Total assets were $673.7 million on September 30, 2009, up $88.7 million from 12 months ago primarily due to the National Bank of Montpelier acquisition, and up $12.2 million from the 2009 second quarter. Loans were $448.4 million at September 30, 2009, up $48.5 million from the 2008 third quarter and up $7.2 million compared to last quarter. Total deposits were $492.3 million at September 30, 2009, up $85.8 million from September 30, 2008 and up $19.3 million from second quarter of 2009. Total available-for-sale securities increased by $1.6 million, up to $111.6 million at September 30, 2009 compared to the second quarter balance of $110.0 million. Total shareholders' equity increased to $64.7 million at September 30, 2009, compared to $60.1 million for the year-ago quarter, and increased from the $63.4 million for the second quarter 2009.

BANK OPERATING RESULTS

The Banking Segment earnings for the third quarter of 2009 were $712 thousand, compared to $1.2 million for the third quarter of 2008, and $1.1 million for the second quarter of 2009.

Mr. Joyce commented, "While State Bank continues to stabilize its asset quality, the outlook for the industry as a whole continues to indicate a struggle with many challenges to overcome. Unfortunately, there is no 'quick cure' for this economic climate, and it will take into 2010 to recover, assuming that there is an accompanying economic recovery. We are hopeful, but we need to remain realistic and cautious. The future level of non-performers will be largely dependent on the recovery of the economy in general."

Total loans were $448.4 million at September 30, 2009 up from $399.9 million from the year-ago quarter and up from the $441.2 million reported in the second quarter of 2009. Loan growth continues despite the very difficult economic environment, primarily driven by a decline in lending by regional banks. It is expected that loan growth will be slower, as overall loan requests have slowed in the past 90 days, which will probably result in minimal loan growth for the next six months.

Total deposits at September 30, 2009 were $492.3 million, compared to $473.0 million at June 30, 2009 and $406.5 million for the year-ago quarter. The cost of deposits dropped to 1.28 percent for the third quarter 2009, compared to the year-ago quarter cost of 2.19 percent. State Bank continued to manage toward a better deposit mix of core transaction deposits (DDA, NOW, SAV & MMA), which accounted for 54.4 percent of total deposits for the third quarter of 2009, compared with 49.5 percent for the year-ago quarter. Core transaction growth for the quarter totaled $14.5 million. This growth is coming from business customers and individual households who are building cash balances. Despite lower offering rates, customers continued their flight to the safety of FDIC insurance and continued to place funds into trusted banking centers.

Ken Joyce stated, "In an effort to improve the profitability of the Banking Segment, we will consolidate our Lima Banking Centers on January 8, 2010. The Elida Road Banking Center will be consolidated into the Market Street location. Existing customers are currently making the transition to the Market Street location."

ASSET QUALITY

The Provision for Loan Losses was $898 thousand in the third quarter of 2009, compared to $799 thousand for the linked-quarter and $146 thousand for the third quarter of 2008. Loans identified in past quarters as non-performers have shown further credit deterioration, requiring the application of additional loan loss provisions. For the first nine months of 2009 charge-offs totaled $1.28 million, or 0.38 percent of average loans. The following chart and narrative summarizes the asset quality picture:



 (Dollars in thousands except percent data)

 ASSET QUALITY                              3Q 2009  2Q 2009  3Q 2008
 -------------                              -------  -------  -------
 Net charge-offs                            $   837  $   275  $   336
 Net charge-offs to avg loans (Annualized)     0.73%    0.25%    0.33%
 Non-performing loans                       $ 9,646  $10,173  $ 4,659
 OREO + OAO                                 $ 1,748  $ 1,346  $ 1,611
 Non-performing assets (NPA's)              $11,394  $11,519  $ 6,270
 NPA / Total assets                            1.69%    1.74%    1.07%
 Allowance for loan losses                  $ 5,934  $ 5,873  $ 4,057
 Allowance for loan losses / Loans             1.32%    1.33%    1.01%

Non-performing assets (loans + OREO + OAO=NPA) were $11.4 million, or 1.69 percent, of total assets at September 30, 2009, an increase of $5.1 million from the year-ago quarter. Total non-performing assets decreased by $125 thousand over the previous quarter's balances, moving down slightly to 1.69 percent of assets, versus 1.74 percent for the second quarter. In addition to the above mentioned non-performers, management continues to be very proactive in reaching out to customers to restructure loans. Total restructured loan balances were $6.9 million for the third quarter, compared to $7.0 million reported last quarter. There were no new credits that were added to the restructured loan categories during the quarter. All loans that were restructured are currently paying under the new terms, however, these set of assets pose a higher risk of further credit deterioration.

The Bank continues to have minimal exposure in real estate development loans, which appears to be the category having the most risk in the current economy. The Bank's total outstanding balance of loans within this category is $2.6 million. Most of these loans are currently non-performing, although it is believed, all of them have been adequately reserved. Delinquencies have been improving over the last eight months and are at 2.05 percent at quarter-end, which is considerably better than national averages.

RDSI OPERATING RESULTS

RDSI, the Data and Item Processing Segment, reported 2009 third quarter net income of $8 thousand, compared to $664 thousand reported for the prior-year third quarter. Mr. Joyce commented, "RDSI has started the transition to becoming a stand-alone public company. Going forward, we expect a loss for this Company as we transition throughout 2010. The cost to spin-off the company, along with running two separate software systems through 2010, will carry a higher level of operating expenses for this company. Revenues were down slightly for the third quarter, and we expect this trend to continue through 2010. With this said, we are working hard to be the service provider of choice for our banking customers as we migrate over to New Core's Single Source(tm) system." Total revenue for the third quarter of 2009 was $5.2 million, down from the $5.3 million reported for the third quarter of 2008.

As of September 2009, RDSI clients totaled 116 banking organizations. RDSI provided Data Processing services to 75 clients and Item Processing services to a total of 91 clients.

Operating expenses were $5.2 million for the third quarter of 2009, up $859 thousand, or 20.1 percent, from the third quarter of 2008. The increase was largely due to the aforementioned accelerated depreciation of $360 thousand and expenses incurred to ramp-up for converting client banks to the Single Source(tm) system totaling $335 thousand.

Mr. Joyce concluded, "These are exciting times for RDSI. RDSI has always been a contributor to Rurban's overall performance and we are confident in its success in integrating banks onto the Single Source(tm) banking application. We expect RDSI to continue its trend of being a top technology provider long into the future. I encourage our investors to review the October 22, 2009 Press Release that provides additional details relative to the contemplated spin-off."
