Financial performance
| Metric | Q2 2013 | Q2 2012 | Six months 2013 | Six months 2012 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Net income | $1.319 | $1.014 | $2.637 | $1.986 |
| Diluted EPS | $0.27 | $0.21 | $0.54 | $0.41 |
| Net interest income (GAAP) | $5.350 | $5.268 | $10.642 | $10.143 |
| Provision for loan losses | $0.200 | $0.200 | $0.499 | $0.650 |
| Noninterest income | $3.820 | $3.208 | $7.387 | $6.789 |
| Noninterest expense | $7.080 | $6.871 | $13.750 | $13.547 |
- Net income increased approximately 30% for Q2 and 33% for the first half. Management attributed improvement to higher revenue, including mortgage banking, and lower loan-loss provisions year to date.
- Net interest margin was 3.86% in Q2 versus 3.81% a year earlier, and 3.86% for the first half versus 3.70%. Management reported lower earning-asset yields, partly offset by higher earning assets.
- Mortgage originations were $81.9 million in Q2 versus $79.9 million a year earlier; gains on mortgage loan sales and originated mortgage servicing rights were $1.45 million versus $1.40 million. The filing also cites mortgage-servicing impairment recaptures as a contributor to mortgage revenue.
- RDSI continued to face client losses: it recorded a $10,000 Q2 loss versus a $54,000 loss a year earlier; first-half income was $15,000 versus $301,000.
Financial position, cash flow and capital
- Total assets were $631.5 million, down $6.7 million (1.1%) from year-end. Net loans were $457.0 million; gross loans, net of unearned income, were $464.0 million, up $0.6 million.
- Deposits were $511.4 million, down $15.6 million. Time deposits fell $18.0 million in the first half. Notes payable, FHLB advances and repurchase agreements totaled $40.5 million, up from $33.0 million at year-end; trust preferred securities added $20.6 million of debt.
- Equity was $54.4 million, or 8.61% of assets, versus 8.35% at year-end. State Bank’s total risk-based capital ratio was 12.4%, above the 10.0% well-capitalized threshold; the company reported both it and State Bank as well capitalized.
- Cash and due from banks declined to $10.8 million from $19.1 million. First-half operating cash flow was negative $1.0 million, investing cash flow positive $1.1 million, and financing cash flow negative $8.4 million. Cash declined $8.4 million during the period.
- Reported liquid assets were $116.8 million, down from $124.0 million. Management said liquidity was sufficient; additional sources included approximately $11.1 million of FHLB borrowing capacity, $33.9 million of unpledged securities and $11.5 million in unused federal funds lines.
Credit quality, changes and unusual items
- Nonaccrual loans were $4.4 million, down from $5.3 million at year-end; total past-due loans were $3.0 million. Nonperforming assets were $7.6 million, or 1.20% of assets, versus $8.9 million, or 1.40%, a year earlier.
- The allowance for loan losses was $7.0 million, 1.51% of total loans and 124.2% of nonperforming loans. First-half net charge-offs were $0.30 million versus $0.56 million in the prior-year period.
- First-half comprehensive income was $1.3 million, reflecting a $1.3 million after-tax other-comprehensive loss on available-for-sale securities. Rising interest rates increased portfolio unrealized losses: $753,000 at June 30 versus $35,000 at year-end. Management considered the declines temporary and reported no other-than-temporary impairment.
- Four residential real-estate troubled debt restructurings totaling $194,000 defaulted after modification during the prior 12 months. New TDR modifications were $26,000 in the first half, compared with $274,000 in the prior-year period.
Outlook, risks and other disclosures
The filing provides no specific earnings or revenue guidance. Management’s forward-looking statements are subject to interest-rate, competitive, regulatory and legislative risks. The company identifies interest-rate risk as its primary market risk; its economic-value-of-equity analysis showed a 7.61% decrease under a 100-basis-point rate decline and increases under rising-rate scenarios. Management said market risk had not materially changed from the 2012 Form 10-K. Dodd-Frank implementation and related compliance requirements may increase costs or constrain operations. Management reported disclosure controls were effective and no material change in internal control; it said ordinary-course legal matters were not expected to have a material adverse effect. No material changes to previously disclosed risk factors were reported.
Important facts for investors to verify
- The MD&A says Q2 fully taxable-equivalent net interest income was $5.45 million versus $5.36 million and describes the increase as $0.92 million; those stated amounts imply an increase of about $0.09 million. Check the original filing for this apparent inconsistency.
- Track deposit outflows, especially time deposits, and the increased use of FHLB advances and other borrowings.
- Monitor interest-rate effects on securities values, net interest margin and mortgage servicing rights, as well as the credit quality and allowance adequacy of the loan portfolio.
- Assess whether mortgage banking revenue remains sustainable and whether RDSI client losses continue.
