Westamerica Bancorporation Reports Third Quarter 2011 Earnings
SAN RAFAEL, Calif., Oct. 19, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Westamerica Bancorporation (Nasdaq:WABC), parent company of Westamerica Bank, today reported net income for the third quarter 2011 of $22.4 million and diluted earnings per common share ("EPS") of $0.79. Third quarter 2011 net income represents an annualized return on average shareholders' equity of 16.4 percent.
"We are pleased to be generating relatively high returns for our shareholders under current economic and operating conditions. With low interest rates and increasing government regulations, Westamerica is focused on managing our operating expenses. Our third quarter 2011 core operating expenses declined $800 thousand from the prior quarter due in part to reduced expenses for managing problem assets. We experienced continuing improvement in our credit quality with nonperforming assets declining 13 percent from June 30, 2011 to September 30, 2011, and the annualized rate of loan losses declining to 0.60 percent during the third quarter 2011," said Chairman, President, and CEO David Payne. "Westamerica's strong and reliable quarterly earnings were used to pay shareholders $10.3 million in dividends, retire $10 million in high-coupon trust-preferred debt, and repurchase and retire 316 thousand shares of common stock. Westamerica's capital levels remain robust with a total regulatory capital ratio of 15.6 percent at September 30, 2011," added Payne.
Net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis was $54.7 million for the third quarter 2011 compared to $56.7 million for the third quarter 2010. The change in net interest income is due to a reduction in the net interest margin. Yields on interest-earning assets have declined due to relatively low interest rates prevailing in the market. Economic conditions, deleveraging by businesses and individuals, and competitive pricing conditions have reduced loan volumes, placing greater reliance on lower-yielding investment securities. Rates on interest-bearing deposits and borrowings have declined to offset some of the decline in asset yields. The third quarter 2011 net interest margin on a fully taxable equivalent basis was 5.32 percent, compared to 5.54 percent for the third quarter 2010.
The provision for loan losses was $2.8 million for the third quarter 2011, unchanged from the prior quarter and third quarter 2010. Third quarter 2011 net loan losses totaled $2.9 million, or 0.60 percent (annualized) of average originated loans. The comparable net loan loss rate was 0.83 percent for both the prior quarter and third quarter 2010. At September 30, 2011, the $32.9 million reserve for loan losses represented 182 percent of nonperforming originated loans.
Noninterest income for the third quarter 2011 was $15.2 million compared to $15.3 million for the prior quarter and $15.1 million for the third quarter 2010.
Noninterest expense for the third quarter 2011 totaled $31.4 million, compared to $34.3 million in the second quarter 2011. Second quarter 2011 expenses included a $2.1 million settlement charge. Third quarter 2011 operating expenses for professional fees, foreclosed loan collateral, and personnel declined from second quarter 2011 levels.
Westamerica Bancorporation, through its wholly owned subsidiary Westamerica Bank, operates commercial banking and trust offices throughout Northern and Central California. At September 30, 2011, Westamerica Bancorporation's tangible common equity-to-asset ratio was 8.4 percent, Westamerica Bancorporation's total regulatory capital ratio was 15.6 percent, and Westamerica Bank's total regulatory capital ratio was 15.7 percent. At September 30, 2011, the Company's assets totaled $5.0 billion and loans outstanding totaled $2.6 billion.
