Oak Ridge Financial Services Announces First Quarter 2011 Results

Oak Ridge, North Carolina, April 26, 2011 – Oak Ridge Financial Services, Inc. (Nasdaq:BKOR), parent company of Bank of Oak Ridge, headquartered in Oak Ridge, North Carolina, reported financial results for the first quarter of 2011.

Financial Highlights:

 

 

Quarterly net income of $193,000, compared to $639,000 in the same period in 2010. Contributing to the decrease were increases in provision for loan losses and noninterest expense, and a decrease in noninterest income. Positively contributing to net income in 2011 relative to 2010 were increases in net interest income and a reduction in income tax expense.

 

 

Quarterly net income available to common shareholders of $30,000, compared to $484,000 in the same period in 2010.

 

 

Allowance for loan losses of 1.74% of total loans as of March 31, 2011, compared to 1.71% as of December 31, 2010.

 

 

Noninterest income of $820,000, down 31.4% from noninterest income of $1.2 million for the same period in 2010. A primary factor contributing to the decrease in noninterest income was a gain on sale of securities in 2010 of $386,000 where there were no such gains in 2011. Excluding the gain on sale of securities in 2010, noninterest income increased 1.4% from 2010 to 2011.

 

 

Noninterest expense of $3.5 million, up 9.2% from noninterest expense of $3.2 million for the same period in 2010.

 

 

Total loans decreased 0.2% to $256.0 million from December 31, 2010 to March 31, 2011.

 

 

Noninterest bearing deposits increased 8.4% to $29.0 million from December 31, 2010 to March 31, 2011.

Narrative:

Oak Ridge Financial Services, Inc. announced net income for the three months ended March 31, 2011 of $193,000, compared to net income of $639,000 for the prior year period. After subtracting dividends and accretion on preferred stock, net income available for common shareholders was $30,000 and $484,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Net income per diluted share was $0.02 and $0.27 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Oak Ridge Financial Services President, Ron Black, in commenting on the results, noted, “Given the difficult economic environment, we are pleased that we were able to increase from 2010 to 2011 net interest income and noninterest income, after excluding 2010’s investment securities gain. Nonperforming assets were up from December 2010 to March 2011 as our region continues to experience the negative effects of the weak economy. We continue to devote substantial efforts in servicing and reducing these assets.”

Mr. Black further commented “Our primary areas of focus for the rest of 2011 will be continuing to service our loan and other real estate owned portfolios while growing net interest income and noninterest income while providing the best service possible to existing and potential clients. We plan to continue to support our local economy by taking deposits, making loans, and providing financial advice to help our clients navigate these difficult times. The community was supportive of our Bank in the first quarter of 2011 and we are very encouraged by the continuing growth we are seeing in both noninterest deposits and interest bearing checking deposits. Lastly, at March 31, 2011 we were well-capitalized with capital available for future profitable growth.”
