Material Changes vs. Prior Period
- Profitability: Net income attributable to common stockholders increased significantly compared to the prior year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the company reported a net income of $1.94 million, compared to a net loss of $1.96 million for the same period in 2009.
- Interest Income: Total interest income decreased by 12% in the third quarter compared to 2009, largely due to a one-time $1.3 million interest income recognition in Q3 2009 related to a resolved commercial loan contingency. Average yields on earning assets declined 87 basis points year-over-year.
- Provision for Loan Losses: The provision for loan/lease losses decreased substantially to $1.43 million in Q3 2010 from $3.53 million in Q3 2009. For the nine-month period, the provision was $4.41 million, a reduction of $8.35 million compared to 2009.
- Asset Quality: Nonperforming assets increased to $59.4 million (3.29% of total assets) from $32.6 million in September 2009. However, the allowance for loan losses to gross loans ratio decreased to 1.67% from 1.82% in the prior year.
- Capital Structure: In June 2010, the company issued $25.0 million of Series E Non-Cumulative Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock, exchanging all outstanding Series B and Series C preferred stock and raising $4.1 million in new cash capital.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
- Market Conditions: Management notes continued weak loan demand in their markets, leading to a shift in asset mix toward investment securities to maintain liquidity. The loan portfolio declined 4% year-over-year.
- Regulatory Risk: The company highlights the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (signed July 2010) as a significant risk factor. Compliance may curtail revenue opportunities, increase operating costs, and require higher capital/liquidity levels, though the precise financial impact remains uncertain.
- Asset Quality Strategy: Despite an increase in nonperforming assets, management states that specific reserves are adequate due to strong collateral positions on commercial credits. The company continues to focus on improving portfolio quality.
- Dividends: The company declared common stock dividends of $0.04 per share for the nine-month period. Management intends to consider semi-annual common stock dividends.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Nonperforming Assets Trend: Verify the trajectory of nonperforming assets, which rose 47% year-over-year to $59.4 million, and assess the adequacy of the 1.67% allowance coverage ratio.
- Loan Demand Sustainability: Confirm if the 4% decline in the loan portfolio is a temporary market condition or a structural shift affecting future growth.
- Regulatory Capital Impact: Monitor the specific capital requirements imposed by the Dodd-Frank Act and the company's ability to maintain "well-capitalized" status under new rules.
- Preferred Stock Conversion: Review the terms of the Series E Preferred Stock (convertible at $12.15/share) and potential dilution to common shareholders.
- Interest Rate Sensitivity: Evaluate the company's interest rate risk exposure, noting the 53 basis point decline in net interest margin year-over-year.
