George M. Lee, Executive Vice Chairman, President and CEO of MetroCorp Bancshares, Inc. stated, “The Company’s 2011 performance was marked by consistent quarterly improvements in net income and credit quality.  Net income for the twelve months of 2011 was $9.4 million, a significant improvement over the net loss of $927,000 for the same period of 2010.  Net income improved steadily from $1.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2010, $2.1 million for the first quarter of 2011, and $2.4 million and $2.3 million for the second and third quarters of 2011 and completing the year with $2.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2011.  Likewise, nonperforming assets were reduced from $92.8 million at December 31, 2010 to $63.9 million at December 31, 2011.  Although the net reduction of $8.3 million in nonperforming assets between the third and fourth quarters of 2011 was meaningful, the overall reduction was partially offset by a $7.1 million addition to nonperforming assets as a result of a downgrade by the lead bank on a commercial real estate loan participation.
 
 
 

 

Other key financial metrics in terms of net interest margin and noninterest expense remained stable and management was encouraged with the Company’s overall performance for the year.  We begin the year 2012 with solid earnings, improved asset quality and an improved total risk-based capital ratio at 17.29%, which we believe will afford the Company the opportunity to develop a TARP repayment strategy.”

Interest income and expense
Net interest income for the three months ended December 31, 2011 was $13.6 million, a decrease of $488,000 or 3.5% compared with $14.1 million for the same period in 2010. Net interest income for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $54.0 million, a decrease of $3.0 million or 5.2% compared with $57.0 million for the same period in 2010.  The decrease for the three months and year ended December 31, 2011 was due primarily to a decline in average total loans and yields, partially offset by lower volume and cost of deposits.  On a linked-quarter basis, net interest income remained relatively stable compared with $13.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011.

The net interest margin for the three months ended December 31, 2011 was 3.87%, an increase of three basis points compared with 3.84% for the same period in 2010. The yield on average earning assets decreased 30 basis points, and the cost of average earning assets decreased 33 basis points for the same periods.  On a linked-quarter basis, the net interest margin for the three months ended December 31, 2011 increased four basis points compared with 3.83% for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The yield on average earning assets decreased four basis points, and the cost of average earning assets decreased eight basis points compared with the yields at September 30, 2011.

The net interest margin for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 was 3.83%. The yield on average earning assets decreased 42 basis points, and the cost of average earning assets decreased 42 basis points for the same periods.

Interest income for the three months ended December 31, 2011 was $16.5 million, down $1.8 million or 9.9% compared with $18.3 million for the same period in 2010, primarily due to lower loan volume and loan yield, partially offset by an increase in the volume of taxable securities and federal funds sold.  Average earning assets decreased $62.0 million or 4.3% to $1.39 billion for the fourth quarter of 2011, compared with $1.45 billion for the same period in 2010.  Average total loans decreased $101.6 million or 8.8% to $1.06 billion for the fourth quarter of 2011 compared with $1.16 billion for the fourth quarter of 2010.

Interest income for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $67.4 million, down $10.1 million or 12.9% compared with $77.5 million for the same period in 2010, primarily due to lower loan volume and loan yield, partially offset by an increase in the volume of taxable securities and federal funds sold.   Average earning assets decreased $77.4 million or 5.2% to $1.41 billion for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared with $1.49 billion the same period in 2010.  Average total loans decreased $139.3 million or 11.4% to $1.08 billion for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared with $1.22 billion for the same period in 2010.

Interest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2011 was $2.9 million, down $1.4 million or 31.4% compared with $4.3 million for the same period in 2010, primarily due to lower deposit volume and deposit cost and lower interest cost on the junior subordinated debentures. Average interest-bearing deposits were $995.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2011, a decrease of $80.4 million or 7.5% compared with $1.08 billion for the same period of 2010. The cost of interest-bearing deposits for the fourth quarter of 2011 was 0.93% compared with 1.28% for the fourth quarter of 2010.  Interest cost of junior subordinated debentures declined from 5.42% for the fourth quarter of 2010 to 3.59% for the fourth quarter of 2011 as a result of the unhedged portion of the debt converting from fixed rate to variable rate. Average other borrowings, excluding junior subordinated debentures, were $29.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2011, a decrease of $27.4 million or 48.5% compared with $56.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2010.  The cost of other borrowings for the fourth quarter of 2011 was 3.39% compared with 2.00% for the fourth quarter of 2010.

Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $13.4 million, down $7.0 million or 34.4% compared with $20.4 million for the same period in 2010, primarily due to lower deposit volume and lower cost of funds. Average interest-bearing deposits were $1.02 billion for the year ended December 31, 2011, a decrease of $117.3 million or 10.3% compared with $1.14 billion for the same period of 2010. The cost of interest-bearing deposits for the year ended December 31, 2011 was 1.08% compared with 1.52% for the same period of 2010. Interest cost of junior subordinated debentures declined from 5.67% for the year ended December 31, 2010 to 3.62% for the year ended December 31, 2011 as a result of the unhedged portion of the debt converting from fixed rate to variable rate. Average other borrowings, excluding junior subordinated debentures, were $41.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, a decrease of $6.0 million or 12.8% compared with $47.0 million for the same period of 2010.  The cost of other borrowings for the year ended December 31, 2011 was 2.56% compared with 2.31% for the same period of 2010.

Noninterest income and expense
Noninterest income for the three months ended December 31, 2011 was $2.2 million a decrease of $247,000 or 10.2% compared with $2.4 million for the same period in 2010. The decline for the three months ended December 31, 2011 was primarily due to a decrease in gains on securities transactions, partially offset by an increase in other noninterest income and a decline in securities impairments.

Noninterest income for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $7.2 million, a decrease of $349,000 or 4.6% compared with the same period in 2010. The decline for the year ended December 31, 2011 was primarily due to a decrease in gains on securities transactions and service fees, partially offset by a decline in securities impairments and an increase in other noninterest income.

Noninterest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2011 was $10.5 million, a decrease of $705,000 or 6.3% compared with $11.2 million for the same period in 2010.  The decrease was mainly the result of decreases in FDIC assessments, expenses related to ORE, and salaries and employee benefits.

Noninterest expense for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $43.7 million, a decrease of $4.6 million or 9.4% compared with $48.3 million for the same period in 2010.  The decrease was primarily the result of lower expenses related to ORE, a $2.0 million goodwill impairment charge that was recorded in the first quarter of 2010, and lower FDIC assessments, partially offset by an increase in other noninterest expense.  Other noninterest expense increased primarily as a result of a higher provision for unfunded commitments and increased loan administration expenses and online banking fees.
 
 
 

 

Salaries and employee benefits expense for the three months ended December 31, 2011 was $5.0 million, a decrease of $139,000 or 2.7% compared with $5.2 million for the same period in 2010. The decrease was primarily due to lower employee healthcare expenses.  Salaries and employee benefits expense for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $20.7 million, an increase of $133,000 or 0.6% compared with $20.6 million for the same period in 2010.  The increase was primarily due to higher salaries and higher bonus accrual, partially offset by a decrease in employee healthcare expenses.

On a linked-quarter basis, the provision for loan losses in the fourth quarter of 2011 increased $400,000 to $1.3 million compared with $875,000 for the third quarter of 2011, primarily as a result of higher charge-offs.

Net charge-offs for the three months ended December 31, 2011 were $2.9 million or 0.28% of total loans compared with net charge-offs of $3.4 million or 0.30% of total loans for the three months ended December 31, 2010.

Total nonperforming assets at December 31, 2011 were $63.9 million ($46.2 million from Texas and $17.7 million from California) compared with $92.8 million at December 31, 2010 ($74.5 million from Texas and $18.3 million from California), a decrease of $28.9 million or 31.2%. The ratio of total nonperforming assets to total assets decreased to 4.27% at December 31, 2011 from 5.95% at December 31, 2010.

On a linked-quarter basis, total nonperforming assets decreased by $8.3 million, which consisted of a $4.2 million decrease in Texas and a $4.1 million decrease in California. The decrease in nonperforming assets in Texas consisted primarily of declines of $4.5 million in ORE, partially offset by an increase of $1.2 million in nonaccrual loans. In Texas, nonaccrual loans increased primarily due to the addition of five loans totaling $8.9 million, partially offset by $5.2 million in note sales, $2.3 million in charge-offs, and payoffs and pay downs. The decrease in nonperforming assets in California primarily consisted of a decrease of $4.1 million in nonaccrual troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) resulting from the reclassification of a loan to performing status and a $316,000 reduction in ORE.
 
On a linked-quarter basis, ORE decreased by approximately $4.8 million compared with September 30, 2011, which included decreases of $4.5 million in Texas and $316,000 in California.  The decrease in Texas was primarily the result of the sale of six properties.  The $316,000 decrease in California resulted from write downs.

Approximately $42.0 million or 93.6% of nonaccrual loans and nonaccruing TDRs at December 31, 2011, are collateralized by real estate.  Management is closely monitoring the loan portfolio and actively working on problem loan resolutions but uncertain economic conditions could further impact the loan portfolio.
