CAPE BANCORP, INC. REPORTS
FOURTH QUARTER and ANNUAL 2010 RESULTS
Cape May Court House, New Jersey, February 15, 2011 — Cape Bancorp, Inc. (“Cape Bancorp” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: “CBNJ”), the parent company of Cape Bank, announces its operating results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2010.
For the quarter ended December 31, 2010, Cape Bancorp reported net income of $862,000, or $.07 per share, compared to net income of $1.2 million, or $.10 per share for the quarter ended December 31, 2009. The loan loss provision for the fourth quarter of 2010 totaled $2.8 million compared to $785,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2009. During the fourth quarter of 2010, the Company recorded gains on the sales of securities of $523,000, compared to no gains recorded in the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2009. The fourth quarter of 2009 included an other-than-temporary-impairment (OTTI) charge of $292,000, compared to no such charge for the most recent quarter ended December 31, 2010. Loan related expenses were $515,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2010 compared to $1.1 million for the same period of 2009. Although the net interest margin increased 10 basis points from 3.57% for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 to 3.67% for the quarter ended December 31, 2010, net interest income was basically flat quarter over quarter.
Net income for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $4.0 million, or $.33 per share, compared to a net loss of $17.9 million, or $1.45 per share for the year ended December 31, 2009. The $21.9 million year over year increase in net income is primarily attributable to reductions in the following expenses: $5.7 million in the loan loss provision, $1.7 million in OTTI charges, $973,000 in salaries and employee benefits, and $462,000 of Federal Deposit Insurance premiums. In addition, the year ended December 31, 2009 included a one-time $12.0 million tax expense related to the establishment of a deferred tax asset valuation allowance. Net interest income increased $225,000, or 0.63%, to $35.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to $35.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 due, in part, to an increase in the net interest margin to 3.66% for the year ended December 31, 2010 from 3.54% for the year ended December 31, 2009.
At December 31, 2010, Cape Bancorp’s total assets decreased $11.8 million, or 1.1% to $1.061 billion from $1.073 billion at December 31, 2009.
The Company’s total net loans decreased to $772.3 million at December 31, 2010, from $789.5 million at December 31, 2009, a decrease of $17.2 million or 2.17%. This change is the net result of a decrease in commercial loans of $30.9 million, offset, in part, by growth in mortgage loans of $11.7 million and an increase in consumer loans of $1.3 million. The allowance for loan losses declined $773,000 from $13.3 million at December 31, 2009 to $12.5 million at December 31, 2010.
Delinquent loans increased $248,000 to $34.7 million, or 4.4% of total gross loans at December 31, 2010 from $34.4 million or 4.3% of total gross loans at December 31, 2009. At December 31, 2010, the Company had $43.5 million in non-performing loans or 5.54% of total gross loans, an increase of $10.3 million from $33.2 million, or 4.14% of total gross loans, at December 31, 2009. This increase results from the inclusion in non-performing loans of $11.8 million in troubled debt restructurings that were performing in accordance with their repayment terms at December 31, 2010.
At December 31, 2010, Cape Bancorp’s allowance for loan losses decreased to $12.5 million from $13.3 million at December 31, 2009, a decrease of $773,000 or 5.81%. The allowance for loan loss ratio decreased to 1.60% of gross loans at December 31, 2010 from 1.66% of gross loans at December 31, 2009. The allowance for loan losses to non-performing loan coverage ratio decreased to 28.84% at December 31, 2010 from 40.04% at December 31, 2009 primarily due to the classification of the $11.8 million in troubled debt restructurings as non-performing loans. Charge-offs for the year ended December 31, 2010 were $8.8 million compared to $11.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. Loan loss recoveries totaled $588,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to $568,000 for the year ended December 31, 2009.
Other real estate owned (OREO) decreased $1.5 million from $4.8 million at December 31, 2009 to $3.3 million at December 31, 2010, consisting at December 31, 2010 of eight commercial properties and three residential properties. During the quarter ended December 31, 2010, one commercial property was placed into OREO at a value of $83,000. In addition, one residential property and three commercial properties with carrying values of $46,000 and $800,000, respectively, were sold during the quarter ended December 31, 2010 with a recognized net gain of $16,000.
Cape Bancorp’s total investment securities portfolio increased $4.6 million, or 3.00%, to $157.4 million at December 31, 2010, from $152.8 million at December 31, 2009.
At December 31, 2010, Cape Bancorp’s total deposits increased $16.5 million, or 2.24% to $753.1 million from $736.6 million at December 31, 2009. The Company’s total borrowings decreased to $169.6 million at December 31, 2010 from $204.0 million at December 31, 2009, a decrease of $34.3 million, or 16.84%.
Cape Bancorp’s total equity increased to $132.1 million at December 31, 2010 from $126.5 million at December 31, 2009, an increase of $5.6 million or 4.43%. The increase in equity was primarily attributable to the net income of $4.0 million and a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax of $1.1 million. Cape Bank continued to maintain its well capitalized status for regulatory purposes.
Michael D. Devlin, President and Chief Executive Officer of Cape Bancorp and Cape Bank, provided the following statement:
“We were pleased by the Bank’s performance in 2010—a sharp reversal from the losses of the prior year. Other positive developments include a stabilizing national economy which we anticipate will continue in 2011. The local economy appears to show some signs of recovery and we expect to see modest improvement in loan demand throughout the year. Meanwhile, the core business of the bank is operating well, with a stable NIM and growth in low cost deposits.
“While troubled assets continue to be significant, we have established exit strategies which will be instrumental in their long term resolution. It is worth noting that management is forecasting a gradual, rather than dramatic decline in troubled assets throughout 2011. The allowance taken in 2009 on deferred tax assets is also a significant item and one that has management’s focus as we reassess the realizability of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance depending on sustained profitability.
“Management is optimistic about the prospects for Cape’s future with an improving local economy, a solid core business, and the potential for loan growth in 2011.”
