MBT Financial Corp. Announces Third Quarter 2009 Results

MONROE, Mich., October 22, 2009 – MBT Financial Corp., (Nasdaq: MBTF), the parent company of Monroe Bank & Trust, reported a third quarter 2009 net loss of $1.6 million, or $0.10 per share, compared to the profit of $324,000, or $0.02 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2008. The year to date loss for 2009 is $8.3 million, or $0.52 per share compared to a profit of $4.7 million, or $0.29 per diluted share in the first three quarters of 2008.

The third quarter results include $5.3 million in gains on securities sold, a $4.5 million charge to record the other than temporary impairment of pooled trust preferred CDO investments, a $0.9 million write off of a defaulted investment security, and losses on the sales and write downs of other real estate owned totaled $1.9 million. In addition, the third quarter provision for loan losses was $5.7 million, an increase of $1.6 million compared to the third quarter of 2008.

The Net Interest Income for the third quarter of 2009 was $10.5 million, a decrease of $570,000, or 5.1% compared to the same period in 2008. The Net Interest Margin was unchanged at 3.24%, but the amount of average earning assets decreased $67.4 million, or 4.8%. Earning assets decreased due to a reduction of $80.7 million, or 8.2% in average loans, as economic conditions significantly decreased loan demand.

Non interest income, excluding securities gains, losses, and impairment charges decreased from $3.9 million in the third quarter of 2008 to $3.7 million in the third quarter of 2009. This was mainly due to a decrease of $151,000 in Wealth Management fee income, which was adversely impacted by the declines in market values of assets under management.

Non Interest expenses increased $25,000, or 0.2% as the bank continues to focus on controlling expenses. Losses and expenses of foreclosed real estate properties decreased $327,000, or 12.3% compared to last year while the cost of FDIC insurance increased $402,000, or 177.9%. Compared to last quarter, salaries and benefits declined by 5.1%, and overall non interest expenses net of credit related charges and the FDIC assessment declined by 3.0%.
 
Total assets of the bank decreased $62.5 million compared to September 30, 2008 due to the previously mentioned decrease in loan demand. The company’s capital position decreased from 8.0% of assets to 7.64%, which remains above regulatory minimums to be considered “well capitalized”. In addition, the company believes its liquidity position has improved, as cash and investments now total 30.3% of assets compared to 27.3% a year ago.

H. Douglas Chaffin, President and CEO, commented, “Although the national economy is beginning to show signs of recovering from the worst recession since the great depression, we expect the recession to continue into 2010 for the state of Michigan. The high level of unemployment and the unprecedented decline in real estate values had a negative impact on our asset quality and earnings. On October 8, 2009, we conducted an auction of foreclosed real estate properties. This was our second auction this year, and we were again successful in removing some non performing assets from our balance sheet. Although the auction was in the fourth quarter, we wrote down the values of the properties sold in the third quarter, recognizing a loss of $489,000. The sales are expected to close in the fourth quarter, which will result in an additional decrease of $1.4 million in Other Real Estate Owned, and a monthly decrease of nearly $10,000 in insurance, property taxes, and maintenance expenses for these properties. Our provision for loan losses and other credit related expenses remain elevated due to the current economic conditions, and the FDIC has significantly raised our deposit insurance assessment to rebuild their fund. In spite of these challenges, changes in our balance sheet structure allowed us to maintain our capital ratio at a level that exceeds the regulatory “well capitalized” minimum. Due to the losses recorded in the last few quarters, and the uncertainty of our economic and regulatory environments, our Board decided in August to take action to preserve capital by suspending the quarterly dividend to shareholders.”
 

 
Mr. Chaffin concluded, “Real estate values and unemployment rates in our market have shown signs of stabilizing recently. However, we anticipate any recovery in our local market to be lengthy. As a result, our Board is currently considering various options that might be available to raise additional capital. We will seek to continue to maintain our strong capital, liquidity, and allowance for loan losses. Our community banking model is needed more than ever in our markets, and we believe that we are well positioned for the eventual economic recovery.”
