Rurban Financial Corp. Announces 2010 Fourth Quarter and Full-Year Results
DEFIANCE, OH — January 26, 2011 — Rurban Financial Corp. (NASDAQ: RBNF) (“Rurban” or the “Company”), a diversified financial services company providing full-service community banking, wealth management, and data/item processing services, reported a fourth quarter 2010 net loss of $853,000, or ($0.18) per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $1.88 million, or ($0.39) per diluted share, for the 2009 fourth quarter. For the 2010 full year, the Company reported a net loss of $9.88 million, or ($2.03) per diluted share, compared to net income of $382,500, or $0.07 per diluted share, for the 2009 full year.
Financial results for both 2010 and 2009 include certain non-recurring items at Rurban’s banking subsidiary, The State Bank and Trust Company (“State Bank” or the “Bank”), and Rurban's data and item processing subsidiary, Rurbanc Data Services, Inc. dba RDSI Banking Systems ("RDSI"). Non-recurring charges at RDSI relate primarily to the previously planned spin-off from Rurban and the proposed merger with New Core Holdings, Inc. ("New Core"). The proposed transaction was first announced in the second quarter of 2009, and the Company announced in the second quarter of 2010 that the planned spin-off and merger could not be successfully completed. Impairments and write-offs of software, hardware, and development costs related to these transactions were a total of $10.0 million for 2010 ($6.5 million after-tax), and for the 2009 fourth quarter and full year, $0.78 million and $1.23 million, respectively, ($0.51 million and $0.80 million after-tax).
Non-recurring items reported by State Bank include $0.45 million of pretax gains ($0.30 million after-tax) on the sale of securities in 2010, and for the 2009 fourth quarter and full year, $0.48 million and $0.96 million, respectively, of pretax gains ($0.31 million and $0.65 million after-tax) and an industry-wide FDIC special assessment of $0.3 million ($0.2 million after tax) in the second quarter of 2009.
The following table provides segment information for Rurban on a quarterly basis and identifies the non-recurring charges reported for each quarter. Excluding those one-time charges provides useful information relating to Rurban’s operating performance.

Highlights of the fourth quarter include:
| · | Both volume and profit margin of mortgage originations contributed to a record fourth quarter and year. Originations were $90.5 million and $235 million, respectively, for the fourth quarter and 12-months of 2010, generating $1.10 million in fourth quarter gains from mortgage loan sales, and $2.86 million for the year. This compares favorably to the $222 million of mortgages originated in 2009, which generated gains on sale of $1.57 million. |
| · | RDSI continues to reduce its operating expenses in line with its declining revenue stream. All external data processing clients have already completed their de-conversions, and revenues appear to have stabilized at $1.5 million per quarter, representing a $6 million revenue base for the upcoming year. Rurban/State Bank remains as RDSI’s only Data Processing client, while remaining item processing clients not tied to data processing services have stabilized. With monthly operating expenses edging below $1 million, it is currently expected that RDSI should reach a break-even level of operation early in 2011. |
| · | Non-performing assets increased modestly during the most recent quarter when a $2.4 million credit moved to non-performing status; however, problem assets still declined by $6.5 million, or 32 percent, over the course of the past 12 months. |
| · | The cost savings implemented at year-end 2009 have been reducing State Bank’s operating expenses during the course of 2010; salary and benefits expense for 2010 was $12.1 million, lower by $3.3 million compared to 2009. |
| · | Capital ratios all remain in excess of “well-capitalized” regulatory thresholds for State Bank, and Holding Company ratios have improved after $10 million of charges were taken by RDSI in the second quarter of 2010. |
Mark A. Klein, President and Chief Executive Officer of Rurban Financial Corp., commented, “There are many who were pleased to see 2010 come to an end, and I must be counted as one of those. For most, the pain has been caused by the relentlessly depressing impact of the Great Recession which has dragged on for several years now, wreaking havoc in the banking industry, among others, in terms of loan losses, tightening of credit standards to long-time customers who have become friends as well, and the pain of downsizing your operations and having to choose who will stay and who will go. Rurban escaped most of those recession-related trials through prudent lending practices learned in previous credit cycles.
“State Bank has experienced a higher level of nonperforming assets over the past few years, but nothing that was unmanageable. At two percent of total assets, the resolution of our non-performing portfolio has been progressing smoothly. We hit a road bump this quarter when a large CRE loan moved to non-performing status. We have been proactive this past year, charging off problem loans consistently and aggressively so as not to become bogged down by administrative issues.
“Our mandate is to make loans,” continued Klein, “and we’ve located our lenders where the lending action is. First of all, we are assisting qualified borrowers to own their own homes. Rates are still reasonable as are housing prices, and our lenders are doing a terrific job. We originated $235 million of residential mortgages this past year, and sold them at a gain of $2.9 million. Secondly, we’ve added to our Columbus lending team over the past year. The Columbus market continues to drive our loan volumes, but Northwest Ohio is doing a great job as well. In other loan categories besides residential real estate, we seem to be holding our own. We don’t see much opportunity for growth at the present time, but we have been selective on pricing and credit quality, and until we see both, we will take a pass. As the economy gets stronger in our markets, we are well positioned to book our share of the upside.
“RDSI has been the source of this past year’s anguish and teeth-gnashing. We have labored mightily to reduce RDSI’s expenses to keep pace with the revenues we lost from the de-conversion of data processing customers. We don’t have all of the answers yet, but we believe we have RDSI under reasonable control, with a major new item processing customer on board, and new products under development.
“We’ve entered 2011 with a new management team excited about Rurban’s prospects for the upcoming year. Our bank is on course, and there is nothing but upside on the horizon for RDSI. As I commented earlier, I wouldn’t want to repeat 2010. But on the other hand, we’ve learned some valuable lessons that have prepared us for a stronger future.”
Consolidated Revenue
Total consolidated revenue, consisting of net interest income and non-interest income, was $41.2 million for 2010, a decline of $9.4 million, or 18.6 percent, from the $50.6 million generated during 2009. The entire shortfall can be attributed to the $9.1 million decline in RDSI’s data services revenue. Net interest income was $20.0 million, down $1.0 million, or 4.9 percent, from the $21.0 million earned in the prior-year period, due to a modest 12 basis point decline in the net interest margin, to 3.67 percent, combined with a one percent decline in the level of earning assets year over year. For 2010, State Bank accounted for 81 percent of 2010 consolidated revenue compared to 66 percent in 2009. By the fourth quarter of 2010, State Bank’s revenue contribution increased to 93 percent of the consolidated amount, entirely due to declining trends at RDSI. Fourth quarter 2010 revenue was $9.7 million, down $2.7 million, or 22.0 percent, from the year-ago quarter. The $3.0 million decline in RDSI’s data services revenue more than offset improvement in State Bank’s non-interest income.
State Bank Revenue
State Bank reported total operating revenue, net of securities gains, of $32.8 million for 2010, virtually unchanged from the $32.6 million reported for the prior year. For the fourth quarter of 2010, total operating revenue was $9.06 million compared to $8.27 million for the year-ago quarter and $8.4 million for the linked quarter.

For the 2010 fiscal year, State Bank reported $21.9 million of net interest income, excluding $1.91 million of interest paid at the parent on $20 million of trust preferred securities and $6.0 million of borrowings by RDSI. This compares to $22.8 million of net interest income reported by State Bank for 2009, excluding $1.75 million parent and subsidiary interest expense. The $0.9 million, or 4.0 percent, decline in 2010 net interest income resulted from a $0.55 million, or one percent, decline in average earning assets combined with an eight basis point compression in the net interest margin, to 3.92 percent, primarily due to sharply lower yields from a higher level of cash and investment securities.
For the fourth quarter of 2010, net interest income was $5.55 million, down $0.20 million, or 3.5 percent, from the year-ago quarter, but higher than the 2010 third quarter by $0.22 million. Both margin and volume of earning assets have improved over 2010 third quarter results; the fourth quarter net interest margin of 3.87 percent and average earnings assets of $563.3 million were ten basis points and $8.9 million higher, respectively, compared to the linked quarter.
Excluding from consolidated operations only RDSI’s net data services income of $9.7 million in 2010 and $18.9 million in 2009, State Bank’s non-interest income from operations was $10.9 million for 2010 compared to $9.81 million for the prior year, up 11.6 percent. Excluding net data service fees of $1.1 million and $4.1 million from fourth quarter consolidated non-interest income demonstrates State Bank’s positive trends more clearly; 2010 fourth quarter non-interest income was $3.5 million, 39 percent higher than the year-ago quarter and 13.3 percent above the linked quarter. State Bank experienced moderate growth in trust income year-over-year, but gains have been largely offset by declining customer service fees.
The most important area of State Bank revenue growth has been mortgage banking activity. State Bank originated a record level of mortgages for the fourth quarter and full year: $90.5 million and $235 million, respectively, generating $1.10 million and $2.86 million of gains in the fourth quarter and 12-month periods of 2010, on mortgages sold into the secondary market. Since servicing is retained on all loans originated by State Bank, the mortgage servicing portfolio has enjoyed strong growth over the past twelve months, up $120 million, or 58 percent, since year-end 2009. As a result, loan servicing fees have also demonstrated substantial growth over the past year, up 40 percent to $607,000 in 2010 compared to $443,000 in 2009.

Net mortgage banking income, consisting of net servicing revenue and gains on the sale of residential mortgages, was $4.70 million for 2010, up $1.34 million, or 39.7 percent, from 2009. Net servicing revenue, after amortization and impairment expenses, was $1.84 million in 2010, an increase of 2.9 percent above the $1.79 million reported for 2009; the majority of servicing revenue – in excess of 72 percent -- was earned in the 2010 fourth quarter from Mortgage Servicing Rights (MSRs) service fees and the recapture of $0.66 million of impairment fees. During the earlier part of 2010, declining interest rates impacted the valuation of the Bank’s mortgage servicing rights; the situation was sharply reversed in the 2010 fourth quarter, when the fair value of State Bank’s MSRs jumped by 56 percent above its $2.0 million valuation in the third quarter of 2010. State Bank more than recaptured the entire year’s impairment expense, ending 2010 with a gain of $85,000 compared to a gain of $15,000 for 2009.
For 2010, $2.86 million, or 61 percent, of net mortgage banking income was derived from gains on the sale of mortgages originated by State Bank; this compares with $1.58 million, or 47 percent, from 2009 gains on sale. While mortgage sales of $226 million in 2010 were only 7.9 percent higher than in 2009, the spread achieved was substantially greater in 2010: 1.26 percent versus 0.75 percent in 2009. In addition to mortgages, State Bank also sold $1.38 million and $3.83 million, respectively, of SBA and FSA loans in 2010, reporting gains of $307,000 in 2010 compared to $142,000 in 2009.
RDSI Revenue
Revenue derived from data services provided by RDSI was $10.5 million in 2010, a decline of 46.3 percent from the prior year. Of this total, Rurban/State Bank accounted for $1.22 million of RDSI revenue in 2010. It is anticipated that RDSI will continue to provide data services to Rurban/State Bank going forward. For the most recent quarter, RDSI generated $1.5 million of revenues, of which Rurban/State Bank accounted for $0.4 million.

The previously reported loss of data processing customers at RDSI contributed directly to the decline in total data services revenue, which consists of fee income from both data and item processing services. Over the past twelve months, RDSI’s data processing client base has shrunk from 68 customers to only one still utilizing the ITI core processing system at year-end 2010: Rurban/State Bank.
Since many of the data processing clients were multiple users of RDSI services, revenue from Network Services and Payment Solutions has also been impacted, but to a lesser extent; RDSI's DCM division, operating as Payment Solutions, continues to provide item processing services to a separate and stable customer base without ties to data processing. While item processing clients have decreased from 89 to 44 over the past twelve months, virtually all were data processing as well as item processing clients, and their need for data processing services governed their departures. Although revenue from Payment Solutions declined by 23 percent over the course of the past year, revenues have recently stabilized at approximately $1.5 million per quarter. Rurban plans to continue Item Processing and Network Services as stand-alone RDSI offerings while Rurban and RDSI evaluate their options with respect to re-entering the data processing market.
Loan Loss Provision
The fourth quarter provision for loan losses was $1.8 million compared to $0.9 million and $3.5 million, respectively, for the linked and year-ago quarters. During 2010, Rurban provided a total of $11.8 million to the loan loss reserve, of which RDSI contributed $3.0 million in the second quarter related to a software development loan made by RDSI. As of December 31, 2010, the allowance for loan losses stood at $6.7 million, or 1.54 percent of total loans, compared to 1.47 percent of total loans for the linked quarter and 1.50 percent for the year-ago third quarter.
Consolidated Non-interest Expense
Non-interest expense for 2010 was $46.4 million compared to $45.1 million in 2009. Excluding non-recurring costs of $6.66 million in 2010 and $1.08 million in 2009 relating to the previously planned spinoff of RDSI and merger with New Core, and State Bank’s $0.3 million share of the industry-wide FDIC special assessment in 2009, operating expenses were $39.7 million in 2010, a decline of $4.0 million, or 9.2 percent, from 2009. Non-interest expense for the fourth quarter of 2010 was $9.22 million compared to $12.1 million reported for the year-ago quarter. Excluding several charges from the 2009 fourth quarter aggregating $0.67 million related to the previously planned spin-off of RDSI and merger with New Core, 2010 fourth quarter operating expense was lower by $2.2 million, or 19.3 percent, than for the year-earlier fourth quarter.
Consolidated Balance Sheet
Total assets at December 31, 2010 were $666.5 million, down $6.5 million, or 1.0 percent, over year-end 2009 levels; assets were lower by $14.7 million, or 2.2 percent, compared to the previous quarter. Surplus liquidity from loan pay downs earlier in the year was initially held short-term in cash and cash equivalents; during the fourth quarter, Rurban reduced its cash holdings by $30 million, investing in higher-yielding marketable securities and reducing higher- cost time deposits as they matured. Rurban ended the year with securities higher by $28 million, and loans down $33 million from year-end 2009.
Total loans, net of unearned income, were $436.6 million as of December 31, 2010, down 7.1 percent from year-end 2009, but virtually unchanged from the linked quarter. Over the course of the past twelve months, the composition of State Bank’s loan portfolio has been remarkably stable and also lower in real estate risk than most community banks.

The largest loan category, commercial real estate (“CRE”), accounted for 35 percent of total loans, or $153 million at December 31, 2010, nearly the same level as twelve months earlier. Along with $16 million of construction and development loans (“C&D”), these two categories of higher risk real estate loans together account for under 40 percent of total loans. State Bank’s portfolio of 1-4 family residential real estate loans currently stands at $105 million, or 24 percent of total loans; this segment declined by approximately 14 percent since year-end 2009, as State Bank ramped up its sales into the secondary markets.
Total deposits as of December 31, 2010 were $515.7 million, up $24.5 million, or 5.0 percent, since 2009 year-end. Virtually all of the growth -- $23.8 million – occurred in transactional accounts; noninterest-bearing demand deposits grew $5.5 million and NOW accounts grew $18.2 million. These surplus deposits were applied to pay down $18 million of higher cost borrowings.
Asset Quality – Non-Performing Assets
Rurban’s asset quality has improved substantially since year-end 2009; nonaccrual loans declined $6.2 million since December 31, 2009.

By virtue of its aggressive asset resolution strategies, Rurban has managed to maintain foreclosed real estate at a modest level, $1.5 million at year-end. Over the past twelve months, Rurban charged off $8.32 million of non-performing loans, and currently maintains an allowance for potential loan losses of $6.7 million. The loan loss reserve provides 55 percent coverage of problem loans compared to 38 percent coverage at the prior year-end. Delinquent loans in the 30-89 day category have averaged under $3 million throughout 2010.

This news release contains forward-looking statements that are provided to assist in the understanding of anticipated future financial performance. Forward-looking statements provide current expectations or forecasts of future events and are not guarantees of future performance. Examples of forward-looking statements include: (a) projections of income or expense, earnings per share, the payments or non-payments of dividends, capital structure, potential goodwill impairment and other financial items; (b) statements of plans and objectives of Rurban or our management or Board of Directors, including those relating to products or services; and (c) statements of assumptions underlying such statements. Words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “plans,” “intends,” “expects,” “projects,” “estimates,” “should,” “may,” “would be,” “will allow,” “will likely result,” “will continue,” “will remain,” or other similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, but are not the exclusive means of identifying those statements.
Forward-looking statements are based on management’s expectations and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. Risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in our forward-looking statements include, without limitation: adverse changes in local and national economic conditions, as well as fiscal and monetary policies, which could adversely affect our earnings as our borrowers’ ability to repay loans and the value of the collateral securing our loans declines; continued deterioration in the residential loan market, especially in our local markets; deterioration in credit quality and resulting increases in our loan losses, which would adversely affect our earnings and financial condition; changes in interest rates could reduce our interest margins; changes in the competitive environment for loans, deposits and other financial services; risks and losses resulting from the loss of data processing customers and wind-down of RDSI’s relationship with New Core Holdings, Inc.; and potential adverse impacts on our business and earnings as a result of changes in banking regulations or other regulatory or legislative requirements affecting bank holding companies, including the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010. You should refer to our periodic and current reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for additional information concerning other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in our forward-looking statements.
Undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. Except as may be required by law, Rurban undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect unanticipated events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made.
