"Encore Bancshares is in a strong capital position with high levels of liquidity. While I am very disappointed with the charge-off of a large loan at year end, I am satisfied that our business fundamentals remain strong driven by margin expansion, significant noninterest income from our wealth management and insurance agency, and expense controls," said James S. D'Agostino, Jr., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Given forecasts of job losses and declining economic activity, we added to our capital by participating in the Capital Purchase Program under the Troubled Asset Relief Program and strengthened our balance sheet by building our loan loss reserve to 2.06% of loans.
"As the U.S. economy rapidly deteriorated, we commenced a rigorous review of our loan portfolio. We have used both internal and several new external resources for this effort that included evaluating our consumer real estate loans. The results of this process were considered in our determination of the adequacy of our allowance for loan losses at year end. At the same time, our team continues to provide superior service to our clients, increase core deposits, make sound loans, attract assets to manage, and maintain expense control, which provides us momentum for the future. When the economy eventually recovers, I believe we will be able to achieve our goal of 1% return on assets," said Mr. D'Agostino.
Results
For the three months ended December 31, 2008, the net loss was $10.0 million, or $1.02 per diluted share, compared with net earnings of $1.7 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, for the same period of 2007. Results for the fourth quarter of 2008 include a $2.5 million, or 26.6%, improvement in net interest income. Offsetting this improvement was a $17.5 million increase in the provision for loan losses, which includes a $6.0 million charge-off of a loan to a high net worth professional and a $10.5 million addition to the allowance for loan losses. The fourth quarter results also include a $2.0 million non-cash impairment charge on a security held as part of our Community Reinvestment Act compliance program.
For the year ended December 31, 2008, the net loss was $8.1 million, or $0.83 per diluted share, compared with net earnings of $7.4 million, or $0.79 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2007. Net interest income increased by $10.1 million, but was offset by higher credit costs and a reduction in mortgage banking income.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2008 was $11.9 million, an increase of $2.5 million, or 26.6%, compared with the fourth quarter of 2007. The net interest margin improved by 46 basis points to 3.31%. For the full year ended December 31, 2008, net interest income was $44.3 million, an increase of $10.1 million, or 29.6%, compared with the same period of 2007. The net interest margin expanded 44 basis points to 3.18%. The improvements in both periods were due primarily to improvements in asset mix. For the fourth quarter, the ratio of loans to earning assets rose from 80.9% in 2007 to 84.1% in 2008, which represents the results of our continuing strategy of replacing low-yielding securities with higher yielding loans. On a linked quarter basis (compared with immediately preceding quarter), net interest income rose $334,000, or 2.9%, and the net interest margin decreased 3 basis points. The decrease in the margin was due primarily to the 1.75% decline in the prime rate on our variable rate loans. I n this extraordinary environment, deposit rates have not fallen as quickly as the prime rate and certificates of deposit reprice more slowly.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income was $3.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2008, a decrease of $2.8 million, or 44.4%, compared with the same period of 2007. The decrease was due primarily to a $2.0 million pre-tax impairment charge of an investment acquired in connection with our Community Reinvestment Act requirements. This investment is the only one of its type in our portfolio and the value was written down to $16,000. Excluding the impairment charge, noninterest income was $5.5 million, a decrease of $797,000, or 12.7%, compared with the same period of 2007. The decrease was due primarily to lower asset management fees, as assets under management declined 19.3% due to the recent disruption in the financial markets. Noninterest income for the full year ended December 31, 2008 was $22.3 million, a decrease of $8.7 million, or 28.0%, compared with the full year ended December 31, 2007. The decrease was due primarily to the aforementioned impairment charge and a decrease in mortgage banking income.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense was $12.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2008, essentially unchanged compared with the same period of 2007. Increases to noninterest expense were primarily in occupancy and the reserve for unfunded loan commitments, which were offset by lower compensation expense. The increase in occupancy expense was due to a few one time items, such as the vacating of several lease locations in Florida as part of our expense reduction efforts. These leases were for loan production offices that were closed in the third quarter of 2008. Noninterest expense was $50.4 million for the full year ended December 31, 2008, a decrease of $246,000, or 0.5%, compared with the full year ended December 31, 2007. Professional fees were higher in 2008 due primarily to an arbitration matter that was resolved and the full year's effect of costs related to being a public company. These costs were offset by lower compensation expense, primarily incentive compensation, and reduced outside data processing expense due to l ower negotiated pricing.
Segment Earnings
On a segment basis, our wealth management group showed net earnings of $1.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2008, essentially unchanged from the fourth quarter of 2007. Revenue in this segment was lower, due primarily to a 19.3% decrease in assets under management compared with the third quarter of 2008 as the financial markets experienced significant downward pressure in the third and fourth quarter. However, this lower revenue was offset by lower incentive compensation and other expense management initiatives. Our banking segment lost $11.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2008, compared with net earnings of $526,000 in the same period of 2007. Net interest income increased $2.5 million, but this improvement was more than offset by higher credit costs and a non-cash impairment charge on an investment security. Our insurance agency had net earnings of $90,000 in the fourth quarter of 2008, compared with $238,000 for the same period of 2007, with the decrease due primarily to a soft property and casualty market, resulting in lower commission income.
Loans
Period end loans were $1.2 billion at December 31, 2008, an increase of $121.1 million, or 11.0%, compared with December 31, 2007. We extended approximately $68.8 million in new credit during the fourth quarter to consumers, businesses and municipalities.
Deposits
Period end deposits were $1.1 billion at December 31, 2008, up $59.4 million, or 5.7%, compared with December 31, 2007, and up $62.3 million, or 6.0%, on a linked quarter basis. Noninterest-bearing deposits grew to $131.7 million at December 31, 2008, an increase of $25.3 million, or 23.8%, compared with December 31, 2007. Average deposits were $1.1 billion for the fourth quarter of 2008, an increase of $11.0 million, or 1.1%, compared with the same period of 2007. We remain focused on profitably growing deposits, which includes deepening existing customer relationships and developing new long-term relationships.
Credit Quality and Capital Ratios
The provision for loan losses was $18.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2008, an increase of $17.5 million compared with the same period of 2007. The increase in the provision reflected growth in the loan portfolio, the overall negative economic environment and higher net charge-offs during the quarter. The provision for loan losses included $10.5 million to increase the allowance for loan losses in light of weakening economic conditions and credit environment. Net charge-offs for the fourth quarter of 2008 were $8.2 million, or 2.69% of average total loans on an annualized basis, compared with $726,000, or 0.27% of average total loans for the fourth quarter of 2007. Net charge-offs included a $6.0 million charge-off of a loan to a high net worth professional. The allowance for loan losses was $25.1 million, or 2.06% of total loans at December 31, 2008 compared with $11.2 million, or 1.02% of total loans at December 31, 2007.
At December 31, 2008, nonperforming assets, including loans past due 90 days and still accruing, were $34.0 million, or 2.78% of total loans and investment in real estate, compared with $23.4 million, or 1.95% of total loans and investment in real estate at September 30, 2008, and $14.2 million, or 1.30% of total loans and investment in real estate at December 31, 2007. At December 31, 2008, nonaccrual loans were $30.5 million, compared with $21.1 million at September 30, 2008. Approximately half of this increase in nonaccrual loans related to loans to professionals and entrepreneurs in Houston. Most of the remaining increase related to commercial real estate loans, primarily in Florida. Loans 90 days past due or more and still accruing were $646,000, compared with $23,000 at September 30, 2008. The increase was due primarily to several residential construction loans in Houston. Investment in real estate was $2.8 million at December 31, 2008 compared with $2.2 million at September 30, 2008. The increase was due primarily to a residential loan in Florida.
As of December 31, 2008, our Tier 1 risk-based, total risked-based, and leverage capital ratios were 14.63%, 15.89% and 11.61%, respectively, and Encore Bank was considered "well capitalized" pursuant to regulatory capital definitions.
