FIRST FINANCIAL HOLDINGS, INC.
FIRST FINANCIAL HOLDINGS, INC. ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER EARNINGS
AND DECLARES CASH DIVIDEND
CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA, April 25, 2013 – First Financial Holdings, Inc. (“First Financial,” NASDAQ: FFCH), the holding company for First Federal Bank (“First Federal”), announced today net income available to common shareholders of $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared with $6.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2012 and $770 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2012. Diluted net income per common share was $0.26 for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, compared with $0.41 for the prior quarter and $0.05 for the same quarter last year.
“This quarter marked the most notable announcement in our company’s 78 years,” said R. Wayne Hall, president and chief executive officer of First Financial and First Federal. “We are excited about building a premier regional bank in the Southeast through our merger with SCBT. This partnership benefits our customers, shareholders, and employees. The market continues to react favorably to the combination as evidenced by the continued enhancement to shareholder value since our announcement. We have begun the process to seek required approvals from shareholders and regulators and have commenced to collaborate on integration plans so that we can leverage the best practices of both companies.”
Significant Development for the Quarter
On February 19, 2013, First Financial entered into a merger agreement with SCBT Financial Corporation (“SCBT”). Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the agreement, First Financial plans to merge with and into SCBT with SCBT continuing as the surviving corporation after the merger and First Federal will merge with and into SCBT’s bank subsidiary. The merger is expected to close in the third quarter of 2013, subject to customary closing conditions.
Under the terms of the agreement, SCBT will add five First Financial board members to the combined company’s board. Robert J. Hill, Jr., president and chief executive officer of SCBT, will continue to serve as chief executive officer of the combined company and R. Wayne Hall will be named president of the combined company.
Quarterly Results of Operations
First Financial reported net income of $5.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared with $7.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2012 and $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012.
Net interest income
Net interest margin, on a fully tax-equivalent basis, was 4.51% for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, compared with 4.69% for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 and 3.84% for the quarter ended March 31, 2012. Net interest margin adjusted for the cash received and the incremental loan accretion on the former Cape Fear Bank (“Cape Fear”) loan pool was 3.99% for the March 31, 2013 quarter, a 16 basis point decrease from the December 31, 2012 quarter. The net interest margin for the prior quarter was positively impacted by 8 basis points due to the full resolution and collection of certain nonperforming loans and by 7 basis points due to accelerated accretion on called investment securities. The decrease in net interest margin was also a result of a shift in the mix of earning assets from loans to lower yielding investment securities and overnight funds. The increase over the same quarter last year was principally caused by the accretion and amortization of purchase accounting adjustments resulting from the acquisition of certain Plantation Federal Savings Bank (“Plantation”) assets and liabilities from the FDIC in April 2012. In addition, improved performance on a Cape Fear loan pool, a lower cost of funds as maturing time deposits have been replaced with core deposits and the continued funding mix shift from borrowings, as well as higher yields on investments due to accelerated accretion on called investment securities have positively impacted net interest margin as compared with the same quarter of the prior year.
Net interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 was $33.1 million, a decrease of $2.0 million or 5.6% from the prior quarter and an increase of $4.9 million or 17.3% over the same quarter last year. The decrease from the prior quarter was primarily due to a $16.8 million decline in average earning assets and the reduction in net interest margin. The increase over the same quarter last year was primarily the effect of the improved performance of a Cape Fear loan pool as well as higher levels of average earning assets from the Plantation acquisition and Liberty Savings Bank (“Liberty”) branch purchase in April 2012.
Provision for loan losses
After determining what First Financial believes is an adequate allowance for loan losses based on the estimated risk inherent in the loan portfolio, the provision for loan losses is calculated based on the net effect of the change in the allowance for loan losses and net charge-offs. The provision for loan losses was $6.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, which included $1.3 million due to recognizing impairment on certain Plantation loan pools which have lower cash flows than originally projected. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 310-30, First Financial evaluates the projected cash flows of its acquired loans that were identified as nonperforming at the time of acquisition on a quarterly basis. The ASC 310-30 evaluation is made on all acquired loans, including those loans covered by loss share agreements with the FDIC (“acquired covered”). As of March 31, 2013, a net impairment of $4.6 million was projected on certain loan pools, primarily due to several large losses which occurred during the current quarter, and was recorded as an increase to the allowance for loan losses. A portion of the higher loss estimate was related to acquired covered loans and was recorded as an adjustment to the FDIC indemnification asset, which reduced the provision for loan losses. Excluding the impact from the ASC 310-30 review, the provision for loan losses for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 was $4.7 million, an increase of $552 thousand or 13.3% over the linked quarter and a decrease of $2.0 million or 30.1% from the same quarter last year. The increase over the linked quarter was principally due to relative changes in the historical loss rates for each quarter. The decrease from the same quarter last year was related to the continued improvement in historical loss trends and general stabilization of credit metrics through March 31, 2013.
Noninterest income
Noninterest income totaled $15.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, a decrease of $336 thousand or 2.1% from the prior quarter and an increase of $2.7 million or 20.1% over the same quarter last year. Noninterest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 included a $1.3 million release on the FDIC true-up liability, which was recorded in conjunction with the ASC 310-30 quarterly evaluation discussed above as the higher projected losses will reduce the amount that First Federal might have to potentially remit to the FDIC based on the initial purchase bid. The decrease from the linked quarter was primarily the result of lower service charges on deposits ($637 thousand) and mortgage and other loan income ($1.6 million), partially offset by the FDIC true-up liability release. Service charges on deposits decreased principally the result of seasonal declines in transaction volumes due to customers holding higher average deposit balances after receiving income tax refunds. The decrease in mortgage and other loan income was due in large part to lower gains on residential mortgage loans sold into the secondary market as volumes declined and spreads narrowed.
The increase in noninterest income over the same quarter last year was primarily the result of higher mortgage and other loan income ($1.0 million), bank owned life insurance ($373 thousand) and the FDIC true-up liability discussed above. The increase in mortgage and other loan income was due in large part to more favorable hedge adjustments on both the mortgage servicing rights and the mortgage pipeline hedges in the current quarter due to the continued low interest rate environment and the addition of correspondent lenders. The increase in bank owned life insurance was the result of purchasing these policies during the second half of 2012.
Noninterest expense
Noninterest expense totaled $35.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, essentially unchanged from the prior quarter and an increase of $6.4 million or 22.3% over the same quarter last year. While noninterest expenses were essentially unchanged from the prior quarter, increases in other real estate owned (“OREO”) ($906 thousand) and other smaller variances were offset by decreases in other loan expense ($911 thousand) and other expense ($1.2 million). The increase in OREO was the result of final purchase accounting adjustments recorded in the linked quarter on the acquired Plantation OREO as well as higher write-downs on other OREO properties in the current quarter. The decrease in other loan expense was due to higher foreclosure-related expenses in the linked quarter as well as the timing and amount of reimbursements from the FDIC in the current quarter. The decrease in other expense was principally the result of two operations-related losses recorded in the linked quarter.
In addition to the impact of the Plantation and Liberty transactions and the FDIC indemnification impairment, the increase in noninterest expense over the same quarter of the prior year was related to higher OREO expenses ($394 thousand), and professional services ($605 thousand), partially offset by lower FDIC insurance and regulatory fees ($463 thousand). OREO expenses increased primarily as the result of lower gains recognized on sold properties. The increase in professional fees was the result of merger-related expenses during the current quarter. The decrease in FDIC insurance and regulatory fees was the result of lower regulatory fees as a result of becoming a Federal Reserve member bank.
Income Taxes
The income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2013 totaled $2.6 million, a decrease of $1.3 million or 32.9% from the linked quarter and a decrease of $1.6 million or 38.0% from the same quarter last year. The quarter ended March 31, 2012 included a tax expense of $2.1 million for the state deferred tax asset write-off related to a difference in applicable South Carolina tax laws for banks versus thrifts upon First Federal’s conversion to a state-chartered commercial bank. In addition, the variances from both prior periods were the result of the change in pre-tax income. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was 33.36%, compared with 33.39% and 70.92% for the quarters ended December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012, respectively. The decreases in the effective tax rate were principally due to higher tax-exempt income resulting from purchasing bank owned life insurance during the second half of 2012 and the write-off of the state deferred tax asset in the first quarter of 2012.
Balance Sheet
Total assets at March 31, 2013 were $3.2 billion, essentially unchanged from December 31, 2012 and an increase of $71.1 million or 2.3% over March 31, 2012. While total assets were essentially unchanged from December 31, 2012, decreases in total loans, loans held for sale the FDIC indemnification asset from December 31, 2012 were substantially offset by increases in interest-bearing deposits with banks and securities available for sale. The increase in total assets over March 31, 2012 was principally due to the Plantation and Liberty acquisitions, partially offset by a decrease in investment securities as part of repositioning the balance sheet during the second quarter of 2012.
Investment securities at March 31, 2013 totaled $348.7 million, an increase of $58.4 million or 20.1% over December 31, 2012 and a decrease of $151.6 million or 30.3% from March 31, 2012. The increase over December 31, 2012 was due to new security purchases, partially offset by normal principal reductions and cash flows from called securities. The decrease from March 31, 2012 was primarily the result of the sale of $203.6 million of mortgage-backed securities during the June 30, 2012 quarter as part of repositioning the balance sheet, partially offset by new security purchases since the repositioning.
Total loans at March 31, 2013 decreased $19.2 million or 0.8% from December 31, 2012 and increased $120.6 million or 5.1% over March 31, 2012. The decrease from December 31, 2012 was a result of reductions in the commercial and consumer loan categories due to several large payoffs and paydowns on commercial real estate and commercial land loans, higher loss claims on the Plantation portfolio, and normal cash flows. The decline in commercial loans is consistent with a strategy to reduce problem and criticized loan balances, both legacy as well as those in acquired portfolios. The increase in total loans over March 31, 2012 was primarily the result of the Plantation and Liberty acquisitions which occurred during the June 30, 2012 quarter, partially offset by normal loan portfolio activity.
First Federal’s credit quality metrics at March 31, 2013 reflect seasonal decreases normally experienced in the first calendar quarter of each year as well as improved performance over the same quarter last year. Delinquent loans at March 31, 2013 totaled $13.7 million, a decrease of $3.3 million or 19.6% from December 31, 2012 and a decrease of $905 thousand or 6.2% from March 31, 2012. The decrease from the prior quarter was driven by lower delinquent consumer loans due to normal seasonal fluctuations, partially offset by higher delinquent commercial loans, of which several larger loans are in the process of resolution. The decrease from the same quarter last year was primarily the result of continued collection efforts. Total delinquent loans at March 31, 2013 included $3.4 million in acquired covered loans, as compared with $1.6 million and $3.1 million at December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012, respectively.
Nonperforming assets at March 31, 2013 totaled $65.0 million, a decrease of $2.8 million or 4.2% from December 31, 2012 and a decrease of $6.7 million or 9.4% from March 31, 2012. The decreases were principally the result of OREO sales outpacing new foreclosures. Acquired covered nonperforming loans totaled $8.8 million at March 31, 2013, compared with $8.6 million and $15.6 million at December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012, respectively. Acquired covered OREO totaled $9.7 million at March 31, 2013, compared with $9.6 million and $11.4 million at December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012, respectively.
Net charge-offs for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 totaled $6.1 million, a decrease of $270 thousand or 4.3% from the prior quarter and a decrease of $3.4 million or 36.1% from the same quarter last year.
The allowance for loan losses was 1.92% of total loans at March 31, 2013, compared with 1.77% of total loans at December 31, 2012 and 2.16% of total loans at March 31, 2013. The increase in the allowance ratio over December 31, 2012 was due to establishing a $4.6 million reserve related to estimated higher losses on acquired Plantation loans based on the ASC 310-30 review discussed above. Of this amount, $3.3 million was related to acquired covered loans and was recorded as an increase to the FDIC indemnification asset. The increase was partially offset by the continued improvement in historical loss factors and stable credit metrics over the past twelve months. In addition, the change in the allowance ratio from March 31, 2012 was affected by acquiring loans in the Plantation and Liberty acquisitions that are carried at fair value and did not have an associated allowance at acquisition. The allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2013 was 2.08% of loans excluding acquired covered loans, and represented 1.2 times coverage of the non-covered nonperforming loans.
The FDIC indemnification asset at March 31, 2013 was $58.9 million, a decrease of $21.4 million or 26.6% from December 31, 2012 and an increase of $12.6 million or 27.3% over March 31, 2012. The decrease from December 31, 2012 was due to the receipt of $20.7 million in claims reimbursement from the FDIC during the quarter as well as recognizing a potential impairment of $3.8 million on the FDIC indemnification asset related to the Cape Fear acquired portfolio, partially offset by recognizing $3.3 million of potential additional claims to the FDIC related to the Plantation loss share agreement. The increase over March 31, 2012 was the result of establishing a $35.9 million indemnification asset during 2012 to recognize the loss share agreement associated with the Plantation transaction, the $3.3 million added to the FDIC indemnification asset this quarter, and normal accretion, partially offset by the claims reimbursement and amortization of the potential impairment.
Bank owned life insurance totaled $51.0 million at March 31, 2013, essentially unchanged from December 31, 2012 and an increase of $51.0 million over March 31, 2013. The increase was the result of establishing a bank owned life insurance program on certain corporate officers as part of a strategy to offset the costs of existing employee benefit plans.
Other assets totaled $74.8 million at March 31, 2013, a decrease of $2.4 million or 3.2% from December 31, 2012 and a decrease of $18.1 million or 19.5% from March 31, 2012. The decrease from December 31, 2012 was principally the result of a $2.0 million decline in OREO as sales of properties continue to outpace foreclosures, combined with miscellaneous reductions in other asset categories. The decrease from March 31, 2012 was principally due to current tax adjustments recorded and federal tax refunds received during 2012.
Core deposits, which include checking, savings, and money market accounts, totaled $1.7 billion at March 31, 2013, an increase of $53.2 million or 3.2% over December 31, 2012 and an increase of $390.7 million or 29.9% over March 31, 2012. The increases were primarily the result of the Plantation and Liberty transactions as well as the introduction of new retail deposit products and sales processes during 2012. Time deposits at March 31, 2013 totaled $903.4 million, a decrease of $48.1 million or 5.1% from December 31, 2012 and a decrease of $54.7 million or 5.7% from March 31, 2012. The decreases were due to a strategy to focus on core transaction accounts and to reduce high rate retail and wholesale time deposits as they matured.
Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) at March 31, 2013 totaled $233.0 million, unchanged from December 31, 2012 and a decrease of $300.0 million or 56.3% from March 31, 2012. The decrease from March 31, 2012 was primarily the effect of prepaying $125.0 million of long-term FHLB advances during the June 30, 2012 quarter as part of repositioning the balance sheet, as well as a shift in funding mix due to the organic growth of core deposits and the acquisition of low-cost deposits from Plantation and Liberty.
Shareholders’ equity at March 31, 2013 was $304.7 million, an increase of $5.0 million or 1.7% over December 31, 2012 and an increase of $26.6 million or 9.6% over March 31, 2012. The increases were due to the effect of net operating results. First Financial remained well capitalized at March 31, 2013 with total risk-based capital of 16.58%, Tier 1 risk-based capital of 15.30%, and Tier 1 leverage capital of 10.72%. The tangible common equity to tangible common assets ratio increased to 7.23% at March 31, 2013, compared with 7.07% at December 31, 2012 and 6.70% at March 31, 2012. First Federal’s regulatory capital ratios are in excess of “well-capitalized” minimums.

First Financial believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide additional information that is useful to investors in understanding its underlying performance, business, and performance trends and such measures help facilitate performance comparisons with others in the banking industry as well as period-to-period comparisons. Non-GAAP measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied, and are not audited. Readers should be aware of these limitations and should be cautious in their use of such measures. To mitigate these limitations, First Financial has procedures in place to ensure that these measures are calculated using the appropriate GAAP or regulatory components in their entirety and to ensure that its performance is properly reflected to facilitate consistent period-to-period comparisons. Although management believes the above non-GAAP financial measures enhance readers’ understanding of First Financial’s business and performance, these non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for GAAP basis financial measures.
