Southern Community Financial Corporation (NASDAQ: SCMF) (NASDAQ:
SCMFO), the holding company for Southern Community Bank and Trust,
today reported third quarter 2009 results.
Financial Highlights
-- Net loss after preferred dividends was $1.1 million or $0.06 per share
-- Net interest margin for third quarter 2009 increased 25 basis points
to 3.30% from 3.05% in second quarter 2009.
-- Provision for loan losses of $6.0 million consistent with second
quarter provision level
-- Net charge-offs were $4.6 million or 1.45% of average loans
(annualized), down from $5.9 million or 1.85% of average loans (annualized)
in the second quarter.
-- Allowance for loan losses increased to $20.8 million or 1.67% of loans
at September 30, 2009, compared to $19.4 million or 1.55% of loans at June
30, 2009. Allowance coverage of nonperforming loans decreased to 92% at
September 30, 2009 compared to 109% at June 30, 2009.
-- Nonperforming loans increased to $22.7 million or 1.82% of loans at
September 30, 2009 from $17.9 million or 1.43% of loans at June 30, 2009
-- Nonperforming assets increased to $40.8 million or 2.36% of total
assets at September 30, 2009 from $35.7 million or 2.07% of total assets
at June 30, 2009
Net loss after preferred dividends amounted to $1.1 million or
$0.06 per diluted common share in the third quarter of 2009 and
included a $6.0 million provision for loan losses, 25 basis point
improvement in net interest margin, and an 8% reduction in
non-interest expenses on a linked quarter basis.
"As anticipated, our third quarter continued to reflect
improvement in our core earnings and net interest margin. The level
of loan loss provisioning was the direct result of our proactive
efforts in recognizing loan loss exposure," said F. Scott Bauer,
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Two residential construction
and development loans totaling $4.4 million were the primary reason
for the increase in nonperforming loans. The level of nonperforming
loans and nonperforming assets at quarter-end continued to be
predominantly related to the residential construction and
development portfolio. While nonperforming loans increased, our
delinquencies have been declining. We remain committed to working
through our troubled assets quickly and efficiently, and this
remains our top priority."
"During the third quarter, we continued to improve our net
interest margin. Through our active liability management process,
we successfully shifted our deposit mix towards lower cost
transaction accounts. Our demand, NOW, savings and money market
deposits increased $75.4 million compared to the second quarter,
and now comprise 50% of our total deposits, up from 46%; while time
deposits decreased $34.8 million to 50% of total deposits, down
from 54% during the same time period. The improvement in our
deposit mix was directly related to our calling efforts and
promotional campaigns focused on transaction accounts and money
market accounts. We were successful in attracting new deposit
balances from customers of large regional banks across our markets.
Due to our deposit acquisition efforts and repricing opportunities
we expect further improvement in our funding costs and net interest
margin during the remainder of 2009."
"We also initiated several expense reduction measures during the
third quarter which lowered our personnel expenses by approximately
4% on a sequential basis. These measures included a reduction in
executive salaries, company-wide salary freeze and a reduction in
the employer 401(k) match. We will continue to evaluate our
non-interest expenses for additional opportunities to reduce costs
and anticipate implementing additional cost saving measures during
the remainder of 2009."
"Lastly, Southern Community remains well capitalized and liquid.
This will enable us to take advantage of the attractive
opportunities that are currently available in this economic
environment."
Asset Quality
Nonperforming loans increased to $22.7 million, or 1.82% of
total loans, at September 30, 2009 from $17.9 million, or 1.43% of
total loans, at June 30, 2009. Third quarter net charge-offs of
$4.6 million, or 1.45% of average loans on an annualized basis,
decreased from $5.9 million, or 1.85% of average loans annualized,
in the second quarter 2009. Nonperforming assets increased to $40.8
million, or 2.36% of total assets, at September 30, 2009 from $35.7
million, or 2.07% of total assets, at June 30, 2009 due primarily
to the $4.8 million increase in nonaccrual loans during the
quarter. Nonperforming loans, nonperforming assets and net
charge-off activity continue to be predominantly related to
residential construction and development lending as 82% of
nonperforming loans, 89% of nonperforming assets and 62% of net
charge-offs originated from this segment of the loan portfolio.
The provision for loan losses for the third quarter of $6.0
million matched the level of the second quarter 2009 provision;
however, it increased $4.6 million compared to the $1.4 million
provision for the third quarter 2008.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income of $13.3 million for the third quarter 2009
increased by 6% compared with $12.6 million in the second quarter
2009 and increased 12% over the $11.9 million in the third quarter
2008. The net interest margin of 3.30% for the third quarter 2009
increased 25 basis points from 3.05% for the second quarter 2009
and increased 42 basis points from 2.88% in the third quarter 2008.
The sequential increase in net interest income resulted from the
impact of deposits and borrowings repricing lower to a greater
extent than interest earning assets. This favorable rate variance
was partially offset by a decrease of $51.4 million in average
earning assets during the third quarter 2009 compared with the
second quarter 2009. Quarter end loan balances decreased $3.0
million from June 30, 2009. This decrease in loans was due to a
continued slowdown in loan demand as some of our primary customers
are deleveraging and taking a more conservative stance toward
borrowing during these difficult economic times.
Non-interest Income
Non-interest income of $4.2 million during the third quarter
2009 increased by $1.6 million or 60% compared with the second
quarter 2009 primarily resulting from the net increase in gains
related to derivative activity discussed below and a $235 thousand
increase in gains on sales of investment securities. In addition,
we experienced an increase in wealth management income of $147
thousand on higher transaction activity, a $214 thousand increase
in SBIC income and an increase of $45 thousand in service charges
on deposits which were partially offset by a reduction of $248
thousand in mortgage banking income due to lower production and
loan sales volumes during the third quarter. During the third
quarter 2009, as it relates to derivative activity, we recovered
$408 thousand from the sale and assignment of our creditor claims
in the Lehman bankruptcy to a third party. During the second
quarter 2009, we recorded a $1.0 million write-off in the value of
collateral held by Lehman as the counterparty for certain
derivative contracts terminated in the third quarter 2008.
Non-interest Expenses
Non-interest expenses of $12.6 million during the third quarter
2009 decreased $1.1 million or 8% on a linked quarter basis and
increased $2.4 million or 24% year-over-year. The sequential
decrease in non-interest expenses was primarily due to $517
thousand net reduction in FDIC deposit insurance costs, $472
thousand in prepayment penalties on FHLB advances extinguished in
the second quarter, $207 thousand decrease in personnel expenses
(including a reduction in the employer 401(k) match initiated
during the third quarter, a company-wide salary freeze and lower
mortgage commissions) and a $169 thousand decrease in marketing
expenses. Partially offsetting these expense reductions were
increases in credit quality/asset resolution costs, including a $69
thousand increase in losses on sales of foreclosed properties, a
$264 thousand increase in expenses for acquiring, holding and
maintaining foreclosed properties (including foreclosed asset
writedowns) and a $47 thousand increase in legal expenses primarily
related to problem loan workouts. Of the $517 thousand net
reduction in FDIC deposit insurance, there was an $800 thousand
decrease related to the special assessment accrued in the second
quarter which was partially offset by a $283 thousand increase in
our quarterly FDIC deposit insurance premium for the third quarter
2009. The year-over-year increase of $2.4 million was primarily due
to $604 thousand increase in FDIC deposit insurance costs, $640
thousand increase in expenses for acquiring, holding and
maintaining foreclosed properties (including foreclosed asset
writedowns), $480 thousand in buyer incentives to purchasers of
bank financed builder housing inventory and $100 thousand increase
in legal expenses, mostly related to problem loan resolutions.
Balance Sheet
As of September 30, 2009, total assets amounted to $1.73
billion, representing a decrease of $72.5 million or 4%
year-over-year; however, excluding the $49.5 million goodwill
impairment charge taken in the first quarter 2009, total assets
decreased only $23.0 million or 1% year-over-year. On a linked
quarter basis, total assets decreased $1.4 million or less than 1%.
As mentioned above, the loan portfolio decreased by $3.0 million or
less than 1% sequentially during the third quarter 2009 and
decreased by $66.6 million or 5%, since December 31, 2008 due to a
slowdown in loan demand. Total deposits of $1.29 billion at
September 30, 2009 increased $31.5 million or 2% year-over-year.
During the third quarter 2009, deposits increased $40.6 million or
3% compared with the June 30, 2009 level. Time deposits decreased
$34.8 million in the third quarter, while money market, savings and
NOW deposits increased $72.5 million as a result of active
liability management through pricing with an emphasis on improving
our funding mix and lowering our funding cost.
At September 30, 2009, stockholders' equity of $134.1 million
represented 7.77% of total assets. Stockholders' equity increased
$363 thousand or less than 1% from $133.7 million at June 30, 2009
primarily due to an increase in unrealized appreciation in our
available-for-sale investment portfolio during the third quarter.
Regulatory capital ratios remain in excess of the "well
capitalized" threshold.
