Heritage Commerce Corp Reports Financial Results for Second Quarter 2010

San Jose, CA – July 22, 2010 – Heritage Commerce Corp (Nasdaq: HTBK), the holding company for Heritage Bank of Commerce, announced its financial results for the second quarter and six months June 30, 2010.

"During the second quarter of 2010, we successfully executed several actions that strengthen our balance sheet, position us for a return to profitability more quickly, permit us to capitalize on the economic recovery in the Bay area and  take advantage of opportunities to grow our franchise," said Walter Kaczmarek, President and Chief Executive Officer. “First, we raised $75 million of new equity capital to strengthen our capital and liquidity position, mitigate risk from a continued downturn in the economy, and provide additional capital to take advantage of opportunities that may be created by disruption in the market. Second, we identified $31.0 million of problem real estate related loans that the Company intends to sell in the third quarter.  The transfer to held-for-sale resulted in $13.9 million of charge-offs in the second quarter of 2010.  This action strengthens our balance sheet and positions our loan portfolio for increased profitability. In addition, the reduction in problem loans will help free up our loan officers to focus on growing our business.”

Mr. Kaczmarek continued, “due to the continued downturn in the economy and the amount by which the Company’s book value exceeded the market value per common share, we determined that our $43.2 million of goodwill was fully impaired.  This one-time non-cash charge had no effect on the Company's or the Bank's cash balances, liquidity, or regulatory capital ratios. Also, after an analysis of both the positive and negative evidence regarding the realization of the deferred tax asset, we recorded a $3.7 million partial valuation allowance on the Company’s deferred tax asset."

As a result of the aforementioned actions, the Company had a net loss allocable to common shareholders of $55.1 million, or $(4.66) per diluted common share for the quarter ended June 30, 2010.  On a net operating basis that excludes the non-cash goodwill impairment, the Company had a net operating loss allocable to common shareholders of $11.9 million, or $(1.01) per diluted common share for the quarter ended June 30, 2010.

The Company had a net loss allocable to common shareholders of $59.8 million, or $(5.06) per diluted common share, for the six months ended June 30, 2010.  On a net operating basis that excludes the non-cash goodwill impairment, the Company had a net operating loss allocable to common shareholders of $16.6 million, or $(1.41) per diluted common share for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Significant Second Quarter Events

$75 Million Capital Raise

As previously announced, the Company completed the closing of a private placement totaling $75 million of convertible preferred stock on June 21, 2010.  Net proceeds from the offering were approximately $70 million after the payment of a placement agent fee and other professional costs and expenses.

As a result of our private placement, all of the regulatory capital ratios for both the Company, on a consolidated basis, and Heritage Bank of Commerce, substantially exceed the regulatory well-capitalized guidelines at June 30, 2010.  The following table summarizes the capital ratios for the periods indicated:

	End of Period:			Well-Capitalized

Leverage ratio	11.68%	10.07%	9.71%	5.00%

Problem Loans Transferred to Loans Held-for-Sale

During the second quarter of 2010, we strategically identified $31.0 million of problem loans that the Company intends to sell.  These loans were written down by $13.9 million, to reflect the estimated sale proceeds, resulting in a net balance of $17.1 million which was transferred into the loans held-for-sale portfolio.  “We intend to sell these loans in the third quarter of 2010 to reduce problem loans, enhance balance sheet strength, and enhance profitability,” Mr. Kaczmarek noted.  The following table shows the detail of the problem loans transferred to the loans held-for-sale portfolio at June 30, 2010:

Goodwill

At June 30, 2010, based on management’s analysis, with the assistance of an independent valuation firm, the Company determined it was appropriate to write-off the entire $43.2 million of goodwill related to the acquisition of Diablo Valley Bank in June 2007.  This was due to the continued deteriorating economic conditions and the length of time and amount by which the Company’s book value exceeded market value per share.  This goodwill impairment was a non-cash charge that had no effect on the Company’s and the Bank’s cash balances, liquidity, or tangible equity capital.  Similarly, since goodwill is excluded when calculating regulatory capital, the Company’s and the Bank’s regulatory capital ratios were not affected by the non-cash charge.

Valuation Allowance for Deferred Tax Asset

The Company recorded a $5.9 million income tax benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2010, which included $3.7 million additional income tax expense to establish a partial deferred tax valuation allowance. At June 30, 2010, the Company determined a partial valuation allowance was necessary, primarily because of the cumulative loss in the most recent three-year period principally caused by the loan loss provisions recorded during the three-year period.  Management is required to re-evaluate the deferred tax asset and the related valuation allowance quarterly.

The net deferred tax asset, after the partial valuation allowance, at June 30, 2010 was $24.6 million. The remaining deferred tax asset was supported by available tax planning strategies and projected future taxable income.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company’s operational performance and to enhance investors’ overall understanding of such financial performance.  These non-GAAP measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes only for understanding the Company’s operating results and should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).  Please refer to the table at the end of this release for a presentation of performance ratios in accordance with GAAP and a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measurement.  The discussion in this release on net loss, loss per share, performance ratios and comparisons to prior periods will be based on net operating loss, which does not include the charge for the impairment of goodwill, as shown in the following table.

Mr. Kaczmarek said, “We have made significant progress in the second quarter by improving operations with an expanded net interest margin, lower operating expenses and higher noninterest income.  While the non-routine items for impairment of goodwill and loans held-for-sale in the second quarter of 2010 took a significant toll on the bottom line, on a go-forward basis, these items will strengthen the balance sheet and provide a foundation for improved profitability.”

Operating Results

The Company’s net interest margin was 3.88% for the second quarter of 2010, a 33 basis point improvement compared to the second quarter of 2009 and a 7 basis point improvement compared to the first quarter of 2010. The 7 basis point increase in the net interest margin in the second quarter of 2010 compared to the first quarter of 2010 was primarily due to lower deposit and borrowing costs.  Net interest income was $11.4 million in the second quarter of 2010, compared to $11.7 million for the second quarter of 2009, and $11.4 million for the first quarter of 2010.

The Company recorded an $18.6 million provision for loan losses in the second quarter of 2010, compared to $10.7 million in the second quarter of 2009, and $5.1 million in the first quarter of 2010.  The Company had a provision for loan losses of $23.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and $21.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009.

Noninterest income was $1.9 million for the second quarter of 2010, compared to $1.6 million for the second quarter of 2009 and $1.7 million for the first quarter of 2010.  In the first six months of 2010, noninterest income was $3.6 million, compared to $3.2 million in the first six months a year ago.  The increase in the first six months of 2010 was primarily due to a $277,000 gain on sale of loans, compared to no gain on sale of loans in the first six months of 2009.

Noninterest expense, excluding the $43.2 million impairment of goodwill, decreased to $11.4 million for the second quarter of 2010, compared to $12.1 million in the second quarter of 2009 and $12.2 million in the first quarter of 2010.  In the first six months of 2010, noninterest expense excluding the $43.2 million impairment of goodwill was $23.6 million, compared to $23.4 million in the first six months a year ago.  Salaries and employee benefits were $5.5 million in the second quarter of 2010, compared to $5.6 million in the second quarter of 2009, and $5.9 million in the first quarter of 2010.  Professional fees were $1.1 million in the second quarter of 2010, compared to $1.2 million in the second quarter of 2009, and $1.3 million in the first quarter of 2010.  FDIC deposit insurance premiums were $1.0 million in the second quarter of 2010, compared to $1.2 million in the second quarter of 2009 and first quarter of 2010.  OREO related expenses were $69,000 in the second quarter of 2010, compared to $107,000 in the second quarter of 2009, and $418,000 in the first quarter of 2010.

The income tax benefit for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 was $5.8 million, which included a $3.7 million of additional income tax expense to establish a partial valuation allowance on the Company’s net deferred tax asset. The income tax benefit was $4.1 million in the second quarter a year ago, and $120,000 in the first quarter of 2010.  In the first six months of 2010, the income tax benefit was $5.9 million, compared to $9.2 million in the first six months a year ago. The negative effective income tax rates are due to the loss before income taxes. The difference in the effective tax rate compared to the combined federal and state statutory tax rate of 42% is primarily the result of the Company’s investment in life insurance policies whose earnings are not subject to taxes, and tax credits related to investments in low income housing limited partnerships.

The efficiency ratio, excluding the $43.2 million impairment of goodwill, was 85.46% in the second quarter of 2010, compared to 90.90% in the second quarter of 2009 and 93.45% in the first quarter of 2010.  The efficiency ratio decreased in the second quarter of 2010 primarily due to a higher gain sale of SBA loans and lower noninterest expenses.
