Robert Zapp, President & CEO stated, “We continue to build upon a solid year of financial performance and we are pleased with our latest results. We are closely monitoring the current economic environment, which remains unstable, but are confident in the work we have done and strategies we have in place to navigate through a prolonged recovery.  Decreasing our provision expense as we experience lower levels of non-performing loans and losses helped push earnings higher, as well as a reduction in costs associated with deposit insurance and the Bank’s partial repayment of TARP.   We believe our continued gain in market share through core deposit growth and our expansion plans to open two new branch locations in the coming months, strengthens our prospects going forward.”

Driving the increase in earnings in the third quarter of 2011 was a $950,000 (27%) decrease in the provision for loan losses as compared to the third quarter of 2010.  The increase in net income available to common shareholders was also attributable to a 49% reduction in preferred stock dividends and amortization expense. The decrease in the provision for loan losses reflected improving credit metrics as compared to September of 2010, while the reduction of preferred stock dividends and amortization expense reflects the December 2010 repurchase of $17 million of the outstanding $34 million of the Company’s Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), previously issued to the U.S. Department of the Treasury as part of the TARP CPP program.

 
 

 

Net interest income increased $484,000, or 4% in the third quarter of 2011, as compared to the same period in 2010.  Contributing to the increase in net interest income was the growth in average earning assets, which increased $101 million, or 7% on average from the third quarter of 2010.  The net interest margin, on a tax equivalent basis, decreased 14 basis points from 3.97% in the third quarter of 2010 to 3.83% in the third quarter of 2011.  Contributing to the decrease in the net interest margin was the mix of the growth in earning assets.  Of the $101 million in growth, $90 million or 89% of the growth was attributed to the Bank’s securities portfolio, which generally have lower yields than loans.
 
The provision for loan losses decreased by $950,000 (27%)  in the third quarter of 2011, as compared to the same period in 2010.  Contributing to this decrease were lower levels of non-performing loans and charge-offs as compared to September 2010.   The Company’s non-performing loans as a percentage of total loans were 1.43% as of September 30, 2011, as compared to 1.69% as of September 30, 2010, while annualized net charge-offs to average loans decreased from 1.02% in the third quarter of 2010 to .86% in the third quarter of 2011.  The Company recorded $2,425,000 in net charge-offs in the third quarter of 2011 as compared to $2,867,000 in the third quarter of 2010.  On a sequential basis, the provision for loan losses of $2,550,000 in the third quarter of 2011 was $450,000 lower than the provision in the second quarter of 2011, while non-performing loans decreased from $16.4 million (1.46% of total loans) at June 30, 2011 to $16.0 million (1.43% of total loans) at September 30, 2011.  Net charge-offs on a sequential basis decreased from $2,871,000 (1.03% of loans) in the second quarter of 2011 to $2,425,000 (.86% of loans) in the third quarter of 2011.  The allowance for loan losses (ALL) increased $778,000 or 5% from September 2010, and $573,000 from December 31, 2010.  As a result of the added allowance, the ALL has increased from 1.53% of loans at the end of the third quarter of 2010 to 1.60% of loans at the end of the third quarter of 2011.   The adequacy of the ALL is analyzed quarterly and adjusted as necessary to maintain appropriate reserves for probable incurred losses in the Bank’s loan portfolio.
 
Non-interest income decreased 6% ($330,000) in the third quarter of 2011, as compared to the same period in 2010, while non-interest expense remained unchanged ($2,000) from the same period last year.  Contributing to the decrease in non-interest income was a $338,000 or 32% decrease in the gains on sale of real estate loans.  These gains were driven by a sharp drop in interest rates in the third quarter of 2010, which prompted increased demand for home mortgage loan refinancing.   On a sequential basis, the gains on the sale of real estate loans increased $475,000 or 208% from the second quarter of 2011; this increase was also driven by a drop in interest rates.  Non-interest expense included a $241,000 (5%) increase in salaries and employee benefits expense, offset by $235,000 (47%) lower cost for FDIC insurance expense.  The decrease in FDIC insurance was the result of recent changes in the methodology used by the FDIC to determine federal deposit insurance assessments.
 
Total assets were $1.624 billion at the end of the third quarter of 2011, which was $114 million or 8% higher than the same date a year ago.  Total loans decreased $2 million while investments in securities increased $99 million (41%) from September of 2010.   The increased investments in securities were funded by an increase in deposits of $98 million, or 8%, and an increase in shareholders’ equity of $23 million, or 16%.  The growth in equity was a result of increased earnings as described above and the net increase in capital from the Company’s December 2010 common stock offering, less the Series A Preferred Stock repurchase.
