Royal Bancshares of Pennsylvania, Inc. Announces Financial Results for the First Quarter of 2012
NARBERTH, PA--(Marketwire - May 15, 2012) - Royal Bancshares of Pennsylvania, Inc. (NASDAQ: RBPAA) ("Royal"), parent company of Royal Bank America, today announced its consolidated financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2012.
For the three-month period ended March 31, 2012, net loss attributable to Royal was $869 thousand or 10 cents per basic and diluted common share, as compared to a net loss of $1.5 million, or 15 cents per basic and diluted common share for the three-month period ended March 31, 2011. The year-over-year decrease in losses was primarily due to a $2.0 million reduction in the provision for loan and lease losses. This was partially offset by the company's portion ($960 thousand) of a $1.6 million legal contingency accrual related to the company's tax lien subsidiaries.
Robert R. Tabas, Chairman and CEO, noted, "Net income for the first quarter, excluding legal contingency reserve, was positive $91 thousand, reversing a 14 quarter trend. Combined with the continued decrease in non-performing assets, further strengthening of our capital ratios and a transformational succession plan already in motion, the beginning of 2012 has provided us with reason for optimism.

Management succession plan takes shape
On April 11, 2012, the company announced the retirement from day-to-day management of Royal CEO Robert R. Tabas by the end of 2012. Mr. Tabas will remain as Chairman of the Board of Directors. This will mark the first time since 1980 that a member of the Tabas family will not occupy an executive management position in the daily operation of the bank.
Tabas noted, "Having weathered the economic turmoil of the past few years, our company is healthier today than it has been in some time. Our Board of Directors and I believe that the time is right to pursue a new CEO with transformational leadership skills as we continue to evolve our bank."
As previously disclosed, two subsidiaries of Royal Bank America, Crusader Servicing Corporation (CSC) and Royal Tax Lien Services (RTLS), were advised in 2009 that they were subjects, but not targets, of an investigation by the Department of Justice involving tax lien auctions in New Jersey. Based on recent developments, including discussions with the DOJ and in light of the guilty plea entered in February 2012 by the former President of CSC and RTLS to one count of bid rigging, Royal believes that the outcome of the investigation will result in fines and penalties being assessed against both CSC and RTLS, and has accrued $1.6 million for the period ended March 31, 2012 (of which $960,000 represents the Company's 60% share) as a reasonable estimate relating to this matter. The investigation does not involve the operations of Royal Bank America.
Tabas commented, "We believe this reserve is a prudent step and we continue to cooperate in the ongoing investigation."

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The press release contains certain financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). These measures are "Net Income attributable to Royal Bancshares excluding Loss Contingency Accrual and Basic and diluted loss per share excluding the net effect of the loss contigency accrual."
This non-GAAP disclosure has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company's results as reported under GAAP, nor is it necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. Our management uses these non-GAAP measures in its analysis of our performance because it believes these measures are material and will be used as a measure of our performance by investors.
