StellarOne Corporation Reports Third Quarter Results
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., Oct. 28, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- StellarOne Corporation (Nasdaq:STEL) (StellarOne) today reported a third quarter 2009 net loss of $7.7 million and a net loss available to common shareholders, which deducts from net loss the dividends and discount accretion on preferred stock, of $8.1 million, or $0.36 per diluted common share. Those results compare to net income of $2.0 million, or diluted earnings per share of $0.09 during the same period in the prior year, and a net loss to common shareholders of $785 thousand or $0.03 per diluted common share recognized for the second quarter of this year.
Highlights for the quarter include:
* Continuing earnings impact from credit losses. As pre-announced on October 9, 2009, the results for the third quarter of 2009 were impacted by a provision for loan losses totaling $20.1 million for the period, which compares to a provision for loan losses of $6.5 million during the second quarter of 2009 and $6.0 million for the same quarter in the prior year. Risk rating downgrades, increasing historical loss experience, the economic climate and other environmental factors necessitated the additional allowances. * Improvement in pre-tax pre-provision earnings sequentially. Pre-tax pre-provision earnings amounted to $7.0 million for the quarter, an increase of $1.3 million or 22.7% compared to second quarter of this year, and a decrease of $1.8 million or 20.2% compared to the same period prior year. * Reduction in non-performing assets and relatively stable levels excluding the benefit of charge-offs taken during the quarter; improved allowance for loan loss coverage for both performing (1.85%) and non-performing (67.0%) loans receivable. * Tax equivalent revenues of $30.3 million for the quarter, essentially flat with $30.4 million recorded in the second quarter of this year, and down from $32.5 million for the same quarter in the prior year. Margin compression abated during the quarter on the strength of liability re-pricing. * Efficiency improvement marked by stable revenues and reduced overhead as compared to second quarter. * A continuance of strong levels of capital and liquidity, with a tangible common equity ratio of 9.35%, and tier 1 risk-based and total risk-based capital ratios of 13.14% and 14.40%, respectively, at September 30, 2009.
Nonperforming Asset Levels Decline But Credit Losses Increase
StellarOne's ratio of non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets decreased to 2.27% as of September 30, 2009, compared to 2.60% as of June 30, 2009 and increased when compared to 1.62% at September 30, 2008. Non-performing assets totaled $67.7 million at September 30, 2009, compared to $79.6 million at June 30, 2009. Annualized net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans receivable amounted to 2.47% for the third quarter of 2009, compared to 1.20% for the second quarter of this year and 0.44% for the same quarter in the prior year. Net charge-offs for the third quarter totaled $13.9 million and were up $7.0 million compared to the $6.9 million recognized during the second quarter of this year and up $11.4 million compared to $2.5 million during the same quarter of last year.
The primary concentration of credit issues within the portfolio continues to be the residential development and construction loan segment of our portfolio, with emphasis on a concentration at Smith Mountain Lake, Virginia (SML). Of the total nonaccrual loans of $61.3 million at September 30, 2009, approximately $33.2 million are residential development and construction loans, of which approximately $21.5 million are SML related.
StellarOne recorded a provision for loan losses of $20.1 million for the third quarter of 2009, an increase of $13.6 million compared to the second quarter of this year, and $6 million for the same period in the prior year. The third quarter provision compares to net charge-offs of $13.9 million for the quarter, resulting in an allowance as a percentage of total loans of 1.85% or up 29 basis points when compared to 1.56% for June 30, 2009. The allowance represents 67.0% of non-performing loans at September 30, 2009, compared to 47.8% of non-performing loans at June 30, 2009.
Noninterest Income Contracts on Mortgage Banking Revenue Decrease
On an operating basis, which excludes gains and losses from sales of assets, total non-interest income amounted to $7.7 million for the third quarter of 2009, a decrease of $550 thousand or 6.6% from $8.3 million for the second quarter of this year, and an increase of $660 thousand or 9.31% from $7.1 million for the same period in the prior year. Mortgage banking revenue totaled $1.8 million for the third quarter, a decrease of $300 thousand or 14.4% compared to $2.1 million for the second quarter of this year, and an increase of $1.2 million or over 100% compared to the third quarter of the prior year. The elevated level of secondary mortgage originations reflects the continuing favorable interest rate environment. Retail banking fee income amounted to $4.3 million for the third quarter, an increase of $216 thousand or 5.3% compared to $4.1 million for the second quarter of this year, largely a result of more NSF charge activity and a higher realization rate associated with these fees. Wealth management rev enues from trust and brokerage fees for the third quarter were $1.1 million or essentially flat compared to $989 thousand in the second quarter of this year. Revenues from this line of business remain suppressed due to lower market valuations for assets under management. Revenues from other miscellaneous income sources for the third quarter were $201 thousand, down $579 thousand or 74.2% compared to $780 thousand for the second quarter of this year. This variance related principally to seasonal insurance related revenues recorded in the second quarter and losses on pass-through investments accounted for under the equity method.
Net Interest Income and Margin Stabilize
Net interest income, on a tax-equivalent basis, amounted to $22.7 million for the third quarter, which compares to $22.7 for second quarter of this year and $27.4 million for the same period in the prior year. The net interest margin was 3.30% for the third quarter, compared to 3.34% for the second quarter of this year. The average yield on earning assets decreased 18 basis points to 5.11% as compared to 5.29% for the second quarter of this year, which was substantially offset by improvement in the cost of interest bearing liabilities, which contracted 15 basis points from 2.31% during the second quarter to 2.16% during the third quarter of this year. The repricing sensitivity of interest bearing liabilities accelerated relative to interest earning assets during the third quarter as a higher percentage of the CD portfolio repriced. This repricing relationship is expected to continue during the fourth quarter as the net interest margin is anticipated to improve.
Noninterest Expense Decreases
Non-interest expense for the third quarter amounted to $22.7 million, or down $1.4 million or 5.8% when compared to the $24.1 million for the second quarter of this year and down $411 thousand or 1.8% when compared to the same quarter in the prior year. Excluding the increase in FDIC insurance, non-interest expense is down $909 thousand or 4.0% compared with the third quarter of last year. A special assessment from the FDIC totaling $1.3 million, which was paid in September 2009, was accrued during the second quarter and accounted for most of decrease as compared to the second quarter of this year. Exclusive of the special assessment, noninterest expense was relatively flat compared to the second quarter of this year. StellarOne's efficiency ratio was 74.77% for the third quarter of 2009, compared to 77.58% for the second quarter of 2009, reflecting the decrease in noninterest expense.
Capital Levels Remain Strong
StellarOne's capital level remains strong during the economic downturn. The period-end tangible common equity ratio was 9.35% at September 30, 2009 compared to 9.27% at June 30, 2009. Tier 1 risk-based and total risk-based capital ratios were 13.14% and 14.40%, respectively, at September 30, 2009 compared to 13.47% and 14.72% at June 30, 2009. Excluding the $30 million in preferred stock issued in connection with participation in the TARP program, StellarOne's tier 1 risk-based common ratio was 11.95% compared to 12.28% at June 30, 2009. Shareholder's equity, excluding the preferred stock, represented 11.90% of total assets at September 30, while book value per common share at September 30, 2009 was $15.66 per share. All risk-based capital ratios remain well above regulatory standards for well-capitalized banks.
Deposit Growth Enhances Strong Liquidity
Average loans for the third quarter of 2009 were $2.26 billion, remaining relatively flat when compared to $2.29 billion for the second quarter. Average securities were $344.2 million for the third quarter, up $17.0 million or 5.2% from $327.2 million for the second quarter of this year. Average deposits for the third quarter were $2.43 billion, up $21.2 million or 0.9% compared to $2.41 billion for the second quarter of this year. Average interest bearing deposits increased approximately $25.0 million while non-interest bearing deposits contracted approximately $3.8 million. Total average earning assets were $2.73 billion for the third quarter, or flat when compared to the second quarter of this year.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This report refers to the efficiency ratio, which is computed by dividing non-interest expense by the sum of net interest income on a tax equivalent basis and non-interest income excluding gains or losses on securities, fixed assets, and foreclosed assets. It also refers to operating earnings, which reflects net income and associated performance ratios adjusted for non-recurring expenses associated with mergers, asset gains and losses or expenses that are unusual in nature. Such information is not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP) and should not be construed as such. These are non-GAAP financial measures that we believe provide investors with important information regarding our operational efficiency. Comparison of our efficiency ratio or operating earnings with those of other companies may not be possible because other companies may calculate them differently. Pre-tax, pre-provision earnings, which adds back provision and tax expense to net income, is us ed to demonstrate a more representative comparison of operational performance without the volatility of credit quality that is typically present in times of economic stress. Management believes such financial information is meaningful to the reader in understanding operating performance but cautions that such information should not be viewed as a substitute for GAAP. StellarOne, in referring to its net income, is referring to income under GAAP.

StellarOne wishes to caution the reader that factors, such as those listed below, in some cases have affected and could affect StellarOne's actual results, causing actual results to differ materially from those in any forward-looking statement.
