Financial Performance
2007 versus 2006
Return on average shareholders’ equity. For the second quarter and first half of 2007, the Company’s return on average shareholders’ equity (“ROAE”) was 9.9% compared to 13.4% and 13.1%, respectively, for the same periods in 2006. The decrease in ROAE was primarily due to the issuance of approximately 3.0 million shares of Community Bancorp common stock, or $94.7 million, in October 2006 as part of the acquisition of Valley Bancorp. The acquisition of Valley Bancorp combined with the acquisition of Community Bank of Arizona, which was a cash transaction, resulted in approximately $96.2 million and $4.4 million of average goodwill and core deposit intangibles (assets that produce no measurable income) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively.
Excluding goodwill and core deposit intangibles, the Company’s return on average tangible shareholders’ equity increased to 21.6% and 21.9% for the second quarter and first half of 2007, respectively, as compared to 16.9% and 16.7% in the same periods in 2006.
Diluted earnings per share grew to $0.54 and $1.06, respectively, compared to $0.50 and $0.96 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively. The moderate growth in the Company’s diluted earnings per share reflects the issuance of approximately 3.0 million shares in the fourth quarter 2006 as part of the acquisition of Valley Bancorp.
Return on average assets.Return on average assets (“ROAA”) decreased to 1.4% for the second quarter and first half of 2007 compared to 1.5% for the same periods in 2006. The decrease in ROAA was due to the $100.6 million increase in average goodwill and core deposit intangibles resulting from the Company’s 2006 acquisitions. These assets produce no measurable income, but significantly increased the Company’s average assets in the second quarter and first half of 2007 compared to the same periods in 2006.
Operating efficiency.The Company’s efficiency ratio increased to 51.2% and 51.3% for the second quarter and first half of 2007 compared to 51.1% and 50.0% for the same periods in 2006. The increases in the efficiency ratio, during a period of increased operational costs due to branch expansion in Nevada and Arizona, was anticipated as the Company has not yet fully realized all cost efficiencies anticipated from the 2006 acquisitions.
“We are encouraged by the 2007 second quarter and first half of the year results. Profitability, organic loan growth, and the quality of the loan portfolio remained strong. Annualized loan growth of 21%, a reduction in non-performing loans, and improving profits for the second quarter 2007 indicates our strategies are effective. We continue to see improvements and the effect of synergies from our acquisitions during the first half of the year and anticipate additional improvements as we move through the balance of the year. Year over year growth in all categories appear to indicate that we are moving forward in the right direction.
The markets in which we operate continue to provide opportunities for growth because of their strong economies. While Nevada and Arizona housing markets are experiencing a decrease in residential permitting and residential home sales on year over year growth basis, we believe that the overall economic matrices appear stronger in both of our primary markets and provide continual growth potential. Fortunately, we have little exposure in the residential home market and therefore have not been impacted to any degree with the slow down and credit issues affecting this market segment. Our core business of banking and commercial real estate construction lending remain strong and provide potential for future growth.
We continue to be excited about 2007 and the potential for organic growth in the markets in which we operate, as we continue our branch expansion and more fully integrate the 2006 acquisitions into the Company over the balance of the year,” said Edward M. Jamison, President and Chief Executive Officer.
Income Statement Results
2007 versus 2006
The Company continued to organically grow its loan portfolio and deposit base during the second quarter and first half of 2007. As a result of this organic growth and the impact of the 2006 acquisitions, interest income, interest expense and the resulting net interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 increased substantially from the same periods in 2006. The 2006 acquisitions of Community Bank of Arizona (September 2006) and Valley Bancorp (October 2006) resulted in the addition of $367.6 million of gross loans (at acquisition) and a corresponding increase in deposits of $376.0 million (at acquisition).
“The organic loan growth for the second quarter and first half of 2007 are an indication of the Company’s ability to grow and at the same time maintain a high quality loan portfolio. Each of the markets we serve have experienced highs and lows in various segments of their real estate markets during the past 18 months. Our organic growth and credit discipline have demonstrated a consistency of quality underwriting and well managed growth during changing economic circumstances. We are very pleased that we have been able to deliver high quality organic growth” states Lawrence Scott, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating officer.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, interest and dividend income increased to $32.4 million and $63.3 million, respectively, compared to $19.2 million and $35.9 million for the same periods in 2006. The primary driver of these increases was the increase in average loans outstanding due to both organic and acquisition related loan growth. Also impacting interest income was loan yields for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 which increased to 9.38% and 9.34%, respectively, compared to 9.14% and 8.97%, respectively, for the same periods in 2006. The increase in the loan yields in 2007 as compared to 2006 was due primarily to upward re-pricing of the Company’s rate sensitive loans.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, interest expense increased to $14.6 million and $28.0 million, respectively, compared to the $6.9 million and $12.3 million for the same periods in 2006. The primary cause of these increases was the increase in average interest-bearing liabilities due to both organic and acquisition related growth. Also impacting the increase in average interest bearing-liabilities was the issuance of $51.5 million in trust preferred debt in the third quarter of 2006. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased to 4.87% and 4.75%, respectively, compared to 3.99% and 3.82%, respectively, reflecting continued competitive pricing pressures on deposits, changes in market rates and usage of other instruments (e.g., trust preferred debt, wholesale deposits and other borrowings) to fund the Company’s growth.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company’s net interest margin was 4.93% and 4.98%, respectively, compared to 5.42% and 5.48%, respectively, in the same period in 2006. The decrease in net interest margin was primarily attributable to continued upward pricing pressures for deposits and other funding liabilities over the first half of 2007 in a stable prime rate environment.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, net interest income before provision for loan losses increased 44.0% and 49.5%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2006, as interest earned on higher loan volumes and increased yields outweighed the effect of increased funding liabilities and higher cost of funds. Impacting net interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 was the addition of gross loans and deposits from the 2006 acquisition as well as the issuance of trust preferred debt in 2006.
A provision for loan losses of $486,000 was recorded for the second quarter of 2007 compared to $625,000 for the second quarter of 2006 and $968,000 for the first half of 2007 and compared to $1.6 million for the first half of 2006. The allowance for loan losses was $16.0 million, or 1.17% of total loans, as of June 30, 2007 compared to $15.0 million, or 1.19% of total loans, at December 31, 2006.
“An in-depth analysis of the Company’s loan portfolio indicates our allowance for loan losses is adequate based on the low levels of non-performing loans as well as overall classified assets and delinquencies. We experienced a reduction in the overall dollar amount of impaired loans during the second quarter of 2007 and a reduction year to date as well. Based on our review of the portfolio and with an anticipation of continued economic growth we may see further improvement,” states Don Bigger, Executive Vice President and Chief Credit Administrator.
Non-interest income increased 69.6%, or $412,000, to $1.0 million for the second quarter of 2007 compared to $592,000 for the second quarter of 2006 and increased 64.8%, or $736,000, to $1.9 million for the first half of 2007 compared to $1.1 million for the first half of 2006. While the Company continued to experience organic growth throughout 2006 and the first half of 2007, the increase in non-interest income was due primarily to the 2006 acquisitions (e.g., acquisition of additional customer accounts from which customer service fees are earned) and the increase in gain on sale of loans that included a gain of approximately $163,000 related to the sale of the Company’s credit card portfolio during the second quarter of 2007.
As a result of the acquisitions of Community Bank of Arizona and Valley Bancorp, the Company increased its branch network by six and added approximately eighty full-time equivalent employees. In addition to this expansion through acquisitions, the Company added three new branches (and closed one branch) during the quarter ended June 30, 2007. This expansion of facilities and human resources was the primary driver to the Company’s increased non-interest expense and increased efficiency ratio for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to the same periods in 2006. Cost associated with the opening of the new branches amounted to approximately $225,000 for the first half of 2007.
Balance Sheet Management
Total assets increased by 5.9% to $1.7 billion as of June 30, 2007, from $1.6 billion as of December 31, 2006. The increase in total assets was driven primarily by a $113.2 million increase in gross loans off set in part by reductions in cash and cash equivalents and securities available for sale of $9.8 million and $14.3 million, respectively, from December 31, 2006 to June 30, 2007. Asset growth during the first half of 2007 was funded primarily through increases in deposits of $50.3 million and Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings of $32.1 million.
Gross loans increased to $1.37 billion, an increase of $68.5 million, or 5.3%, from March 31, 2007 and $113.2 million, or 9.0%, from December 31, 2006. Credit quality remained strong with non-performing loans at $1.3 million, or 0.10% of gross loans, at June 30 and March 31, 2007. Compared to June 30, 2006 when non-performing loans were $1.7 million, or 0.21% of gross loans, non-performing loans at June 30, 2007 have decreased $374,000 or 11 basis points of gross loans.
As of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, gross loans represented 82.2% and 79.8%, respectively, of total assets. The Company’s lending activities consist primarily of commercial and industrial, commercial real estate and construction and land development. For the first half of 2007 the largest increase in the loan portfolio was real estate – construction and land development, which increased 15.5%, indicating a continued demand for this product in the Company’s primary markets. As of June 30, 2007, real estate – construction and land development represented 58.0% of the Company’s gross loans. The Company’s gross loan portfolio as of June 30, 2007 consisted of commercial and industrial loans—11.6% and real estate—88.0%. None of the Company’s loan portfolio involves sub-prime lending or 1st trust deed residential real estate mortgages.
Total deposits increased by $50.3 million, or 4.3% to $1.23 billion as of June 30, 2007, from $1.18 billion as of December 31, 2006. The increase in deposits is directly attributed to an increase in interest bearing demand deposits and time deposits, driven, in part, by the Company’s participation in several wholesale deposit programs.
Capital Ratios
Our capital ratios continue to be above the well-capitalized guidelines established by bank regulatory agencies.
Business Strategy
“With our continued expansion in Southern Nevada and the Phoenix, Arizona markets (two new branches added in first half of 2007 and another planned to open in the next sixty days) and the integration of Valley Bank’s branch network, we are now taking advantage of our increased size and market reach. We believe that the Southern Nevada and Phoenix markets provide opportunities for continued organic growth in both loans and deposits. Both of these markets are dynamic economies with population growth and an increasing employment base that provide the economic drivers to benefit our banks and enhance the value to our shareholders. We continue to seek organic growth and expansion by acquisition as part of our overall strategic plan. Our 2007 first half results indicate our strategies are working and that the full synergies of the acquisition and continued strong organic growth will provide a solid return. We are committed to increasing ROAE and ROAA, improving our efficiency ratio and deliver to our shareholders improved earnings,” said Edward M. Jamison.
