Material Changes vs. Prior Period
- Profitability Improvement: Net income increased 61.8% to $41.24 million, driven by a $19.29 million increase in net interest income and a $11.89 million decrease in the provision for loan and lease losses.
- Net Interest Income: Increased to $147.50 million (up 15.04%) due to a significant decline in funding costs. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities dropped 54 basis points to 1.56%, while the yield on earning assets remained relatively stable at 4.85%.
- Asset Quality: Nonperforming assets decreased 12.2% to $88.71 million. Net charge-offs declined to $20.57 million from $22.64 million in 2009. The reserve for loan and lease losses was $86.87 million, representing 2.83% of total loans.
- Capital Structure: Shareholders' equity decreased by approximately $84 million primarily due to the redemption of $111 million in preferred stock issued under the Treasury's Capital Purchase Program (TARP) in December 2010. The company remains "well capitalized" under regulatory guidelines.
- Loan Portfolio Mix: Aircraft financing remained the largest segment at $614.36 million. Auto, light truck, and environmental equipment financing grew 13.37% to $396.50 million, while medium and heavy-duty truck financing declined 20.40% due to fleet downsizing by customers.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
- TARP Exit: The company successfully redeemed all TARP preferred stock in December 2010, removing dividend restrictions and returning to full control of its capital structure, though a warrant to purchase common stock remains outstanding.
- Credit Risks: Management highlighted continued concerns regarding the aircraft portfolio due to plummeting aircraft values and the commercial real estate portfolio due to large losses on specific projects. However, the auto and light truck portfolio remained a source of strength with low delinquencies.
- Regulatory Environment: The company is subject to the Dodd-Frank Act, which may increase compliance costs and alter deposit insurance assessments. FDIC insurance premiums are expected to remain elevated.
- Liquidity: The company maintains strong liquidity with over $500 million in available borrowing capacity and a core deposit base representing 70.53% of average assets. A potential liquidity exposure of approximately $600 million exists regarding Indiana public fund deposits if new collateralization laws are enacted.
- Strategic Shifts: The company exited its wholesale residential mortgage lending operation in 2010 to reduce compliance risks and focus on direct origination.
Key Facts for Investor Verification
- TARP Redemption: Verify the impact of the $111 million preferred stock redemption on future earnings and the status of the remaining Treasury warrant.
- Aircraft Portfolio Exposure: Assess the adequacy of the reserve for the aircraft portfolio ($29.81 million) given the noted decline in used jet prices and borrower financial difficulties.
- Commercial Real Estate Losses: Review the specific details of the "large losses" on two significant commercial real estate projects mentioned in the credit experience section.
- FDIC Assessment Costs: Monitor future FDIC assessment rate changes under the Dodd-Frank Act and the Amended Restoration Plan.
- Indiana Public Fund Collateral: Track legislative developments regarding the Indiana Board for Depositories' potential requirement for collateral on public fund deposits.
