    Tangible book value per common share increased to $10.48, up $0.45, or 4.49%, from December 31, 2010.
 
    The ratio of non-performing assets to total assets was 111 basis points, an improvement of 21 basis points from year-end 2010.
 
    The Company significantly exceeds regulatory “well-capitalized” targets with a total risk-based capital ratio of 15.81%, Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 14.55%, and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 9.66% at March 31, 2011.
Net Interest Income
Tax-equivalent net interest margin for the first quarter of 2011 was 3.96% compared to 4.02% from the comparable quarter of 2010. Net interest income was $18.28 million for the first quarter of 2011. Total interest income was $24.59 million for the first quarter of 2011, a decrease of $2.02 million, or 7.60% from the first quarter of 2010. The yield on loans decreased to 6.01% for the first quarter of 2011 from 6.22% in the same period of the prior year, while average loans decreased $13.14 million between the comparable periods to $1.38 billion. The Company continued to maintain a high level of liquidity with average overnight liquidity of $108.18 million during the first quarter of 2011.
First quarter 2011 interest expense was $6.32 million, a decrease of $1.68 million, or 20.99%, from the first quarter of 2010. First quarter 2011 deposit costs decreased $1.62 million compared to the first quarter of 2010, which was primarily due to a decrease in the average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits of 44 basis points to 1.11%. Compared to the first quarter of 2010, interest costs on borrowings decreased $56 thousand to $2.44 million for the first quarter of 2011, while the average balance decreased $23.86 million from the comparable period due to the redemption of various wholesale borrowings. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 34 basis points during the first quarter of 2011 compared to the first quarter of 2010. Average interest-bearing liabilities decreased $46.41 million, or 2.60% for the first quarter of 2011 compared with the first quarter of 2010, which included a decrease of $20.56 million in Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) borrowings and other long-term debt.

 


 

Noninterest Income
During the first quarter of 2011, wealth management revenues increased $9 thousand, or 1.02%, to $894 thousand from the first quarter of 2010. The Wealth Management Division reported $893 million in assets under management at March 31, 2011. Service charges on deposit accounts were $3.03 million for the first quarter of 2011, an increase of $39 thousand, or 1.30%, from the first quarter of 2010. Insurance commissions were $1.94 million for the first quarter of 2011, a decrease of $258 thousand, or 11.72%, from the previous year. The decrease in insurance commissions reflects the effects of the recent recession, as well as the soft insurance market.
Noninterest Expenses
Noninterest expenses for the first quarter of 2011 increased $1.99 million, or 12.39%, compared to the first quarter of 2010. The increase was primarily due to salaries and employee benefits which increased $1.16 million, or 14.56%, in the first quarter of 2011 compared to the same period in the prior year. The Company has increased staffing levels in credit administration, marketing, and compliance due to increasing regulatory burdens. The Company has also experienced a significant increase in health insurance costs in recent quarters. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) deposit insurance premiums increased $177 thousand, or 25.25% in the first quarter of 2011, compared to the first quarter of 2010. During the first quarter of 2011, the Company prepaid a $25.00 million FHLB advance, and the expense associated with that prepayment was $471 thousand. Other operating expenses were $4.76 million, an increase of $231 thousand, or 5.10%, from the first quarter of 2010. Increases in consulting and service fees and debit card costs of $401 thousand and $181 thousand, respectively, were offset by a decrease in other real estate expenses of $355 thousand.
Credit Quality
The Company’s loan quality measures at March 31, 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 2.23% at March 31, 2011. 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 indicates peer total loan delinquencies of 4.55%. The ratio of allowance for loan losses as a percent of loans held for investment was 1.93% at March 31, 2011, compared to 1.91% at December 31, 2010, and 1.89% at September 30, 2010.
Total non-performing assets, which include unseasoned loan restructurings and other real estate owned, were 1.11% of total assets at March 31, 2011, and non-performing loans as a percentage of loans held for investment were 1.40%. These levels are much better by comparison with those in the Federal Reserve peer group, which were last reported as total non-performing assets to total assets of 3.30% and non-performing loans to total loans of 3.57%. Included in non-performing assets are $1.51 million of unseasoned loan restructurings at March 31, 2011.
Balance Sheet
Consolidated assets were $2.24 billion at March 31, 2011. Total stockholders’ equity was $277.85 million at March 31, 2011, resulting in a book value per common share outstanding of $15.53, compared to total stockholders’ equity of $261.16 million and a book value per common share of $14.69 at March 31, 2010. During the first quarter of 2011, the Company paid a $0.10 per share dividend on common shares. 2011 marks the Company’s 26th consecutive year of paying cash dividends to shareholders.

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 reflects 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 is a non-GAAP financial measure that is defined as stockholders’ equity less goodwill and other intangible assets.
