Material Changes vs. Prior Period
- Profitability: Net income increased 9.3% to $33.39 million, driven by an 11.1% increase in net interest income and a one-time $11.49 million gain from the sale of Investment Advisor assets. These gains were partially offset by a 121% increase in the provision for loan losses and higher noninterest expenses.
- Asset Quality: Nonperforming assets more than doubled to $44.17 million (1.30% of loans/leases), up from $18.48 million in 2007. Impaired loans increased to $30.94 million. The reserve for loan losses increased to $79.78 million (2.42% of loans).
- Investment Portfolio: The company recorded $10.82 million in other-than-temporary impairment charges on preferred stock issued by Fannie Mae (FNMA) and Freddie Mac (FHLMC).
- Loan Portfolio Mix: Aircraft financing grew 7.7% and auto/light truck financing grew 15.9%. Conversely, medium and heavy-duty truck loans declined 19.0% due to client downsizing, and consumer loans dropped 10.2% due to economic slowdowns.
Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
- TARP Participation: The company is subject to restrictions on common stock dividends (capped at $0.16/share for three years) and executive compensation. The preferred stock carries a 5% dividend rate for the first five years, rising to 9% thereafter.
- Economic Outlook: Management expects further deterioration in the loan portfolio due to the economic downturn, rising unemployment, and volatility in capital markets. They anticipate increased FDIC insurance premiums in the future.
- Interest Rate Risk: The company is asset-sensitive; a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in rates would increase pre-tax earnings by $2.95 million annually, while a decrease would reduce earnings by $9.94 million.
- Legal Proceedings: The company is involved in various legal proceedings incidental to its business, but management does not expect a material adverse effect.
Investor Verification Checklist
- TARP Terms: Verify the specific covenants regarding dividend restrictions and the timeline for potential redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA).
- Asset Quality Trends: Monitor the trajectory of nonperforming assets and the adequacy of the loan loss reserve, particularly in the aircraft and construction equipment sectors which showed increased nonaccruals.
- Impairment Charges: Review the valuation of remaining FNMA and FHLMC preferred securities to assess the risk of further impairment charges.
- FDIC Assessments: Track the impact of increased FDIC assessment rates on future noninterest expenses.
- Dividend Policy: Confirm the sustainability of the $0.16 quarterly dividend given the new preferred stock dividend obligations and the TARP restrictions.
