Pending acquisition
During November the Company entered into a definitive agreement to purchase Valrico Bancorp, Inc. (“VBI”) and it’s wholly owned subsidiary Valrico State Bank for a combination of cash and stock. Each VBI shareholder of record will have an option to elect payment in stock, cash or a combination of stock and cash, but in no event will more than 1,333,741 CSFL common shares (70%) nor less than 1,238,475 CSFL common shares (65%) be issued in the aggregate. VBI shareholders electing CSFL stock consideration will be entitled to receive 5.25 shares of CSFL common stock for each share of VBI common stock exchanged. Those electing cash consideration will be entitled to receive $105.06 for each share of VBI common stock exchanged. VBI is a one bank holding company operating through its subsidiary, Valrico State Bank (the “Bank”). The Bank opened for business in 1989 and operates through four banking locations in Hillsborough County, Florida. At September 30, 2006, VBI reported total consolidated assets of approximately $152,000,000. The transaction is expected to close in April 2007, subject to regulatory approval and approval by VBI shareholders. The Company intends to operate the Bank as a separate wholly owned subsidiary, similar to the Company’s other subsidiary banks.
Branch activity
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Company had 30 banking locations, four of which are
referred to as “freedom offices,” which are small offices located inside gated retirement communities in central Florida. The office is usually located in a small room or area of the community’s “club house,” and caters to the needs of that particular community. Two of the four are very successful. The other two have not performed as well. Consequently, those two locations were closed during October 2006. Those two offices combined had total deposits of less than $1,500,000, which were transferred to another branch office. During the current quarter, the Company expensed approximately $30,000 for disposal of fixed assets related to closing the two locations.
Also during October, the Company opened a newly constructed branch office in Polk County (south of Lakeland, Florida) as well as a second new branch office in Polk County in a temporary facility on U.S. Highway 27 near Interstate 4. Construction has begun on a permanent facility, which is expected to be completed late in 2007.
Another branch office is nearing completion of construction in Osceola County (St. Cloud, Florida area) which is expected to be completed and opened during the first quarter of 2007. Several other site locations have been purchased or are in the process of being purchased for future branches in 2007 and 2008.
Dividend
On January 9, 2007, the board of directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.035 per share payable on March 30, 2007 to all shareholders of record as of March 15, 2007.
Financial highlights
At December 31, 2006 total loans were $657,963,000, which represents a 27% increase compared to December 31, 2005. Exclusive of the $53,336,000 of loans acquired through the March 31, 2006 acquisition of CenterState Bank Mid Florida (“Mid FL”), organic loan growth during the year was approximately $87,969,000, or 17%.
At December 31, 2006 total deposits were $892,806,000, which represents a 24% increase compared to December 31, 2005. Exclusive of the $78,302,000 deposits acquired through the Mid FL acquisition, organic deposit growth during the year was approximately $97,167,000, or 14%.
The net interest margin (“NIM”) for the current quarter was 4.07% compared to 4.10% for the comparable quarter in 2005, and 4.13% for the previous quarter. After six consecutive quarters of margin expansion, the Company experienced its second quarter of margin compression (6 basis points each of the last two quarters). This is consistent with what appears to be occurring in the industry as a result of the changing yield curve and shift in deposit mix. Management believes that as local market competition placed upward pressure on time deposit rates, customers tended to shift deposits from low cost deposits to higher cost time deposit products. To address this, management has initiated incentive and other marketing plans focusing on checking account and other non time deposit account growth. These initiatives have resulted in increases in incentive compensation expense and marketing expense (see quarterly condensed consolidated non interest expense table included in this release).
Annualized return on average assets was 0.84% for the current quarter compared to 0.87% for the same quarter last year. Presented below are condensed consolidated balance sheets, condensed consolidated average balance sheets, and selected financial ratios for the periods indicated.
