The South Financial Group Reports Second Quarter Results
GREENVILLE, SC – July 20, 2010 – The South Financial Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: TSFG) today reported a second quarter 2010 net loss available to common shareholders of $314.9 million, or $(1.46) per diluted share. Included in second quarter 2010 results is a non-operating, non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $214.1 million, or $(0.99) per diluted share, representing the write-off of remaining goodwill amounts attributable to TSFG’s Carolinas Banking segment and insurance operations. The net loss available to common shareholders, excluding the goodwill impairment charge, of $100.8 million, or $(0.47) per diluted share, compares to a net loss available to common shareholders of $85.8 million, or $(0.40) per diluted share, for first quarter 2010. Reconciliations of GAAP-reported results to operating results are provided in the attached financial highlights.
“Our second quarter results are in line with our previous forecasts, with credit costs remaining elevated as expected given the continuing economic cycle,” said H. Lynn Harton, President and CEO of The South Financial Group. “Our previously announced merger with TD Bank is progressing well through the various approval processes and we currently anticipate the transaction closing in September, subject to shareholder and regulatory approval,” added Harton.
Key points for second quarter included:
| - | GAAP results include net gains on sales of securities and a non-cash goodwill impairment charge |
| · | TSFG sold $255 million of available-for-sale securities during the second quarter and is in the process of liquidating a significant portion of the remaining investment portfolio to enhance capital and liquidity subsequent to June 30, 2010; these actions resulted in a net gain of $10.5 million during the second quarter |
| · | A $214.1 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge related to the write-off of the remaining goodwill amounts attributable to the Carolinas Banking segment and insurance operations based on the implied valuation of TSFG using the proposed merger consideration; this non-operating, non-cash charge did not significantly impact our operations, liquidity or regulatory capital |
| - | Based on capital ratios at June 30, 2010, Carolina First Bank is considered “adequately capitalized” under applicable regulatory definitions |
| · | At June 30, 2010, TSFG’s preliminary Tier 1 capital ratio, Total risk-based capital ratio and Leverage ratio were 8.52%, 10.24% and 6.11%, respectively, and Carolina First Bank’s preliminary regulatory capital ratios were 8.24%, 9.85%, and 5.90%, respectively (compared to the “adequately capitalized” requirements of 4.00%, 8.00% and 4.00%, respectively) |
| · | Tangible common equity ratio declined to 2.33% from 2.90% at March 31, 2010 |
| · | Tangible common book value per common share was $1.25 at June 30, 2010, down from $1.64 at March 31, 2010 |
| · | The proposed merger is expected to provide TSFG with the additional capital required by our previously disclosed regulatory orders, which require capital levels in excess of the regulatory “well-capitalized” thresholds |
| - | Credit costs continue to stabilize in our Florida markets while the Carolinas continue to show deterioration primarily related to on-going residential construction stress |
| · | Nonperforming loans increased to $460.6 million from $374.2 million in first quarter 2010 |
| · | Net charge-offs were consistent with expectations, increasing to $93.7 million from $87.8 million in the prior quarter |
| · | Florida-related commercial nonperforming loans declined modestly, reflecting the fifth consecutive quarterly decline while net charge-offs improved for the third consecutive quarter; however, nonperforming loans and net charge-offs in the Carolinas increased from last quarter, reflecting the continued deterioration in TSFG’s coastal South Carolina and western North Carolina residential construction portfolios |
| · | The provision for credit losses of $113.9 million was in line with management expectations and exceeded net charge-offs by $20.2 million, increasing the allowance for credit losses to 5.23% of loans held for investment compared to 4.75% in first quarter 2010 |
| · | Potential problem loans decreased to $885.8 million from $944.3 million at March 31, 2010 |
| · | Loan sales continued to decline from 2009 levels and further declined from $55 million in first quarter 2010 to $22 million during second quarter 2010 |
| · | Nonaccrual inflows were $229 million for second quarter 2010, compared to $110 million for first quarter 2010 |
| · | Following is a summary of quarterly trends in nonperforming loans and net charge-offs: |
| | Nonperforming Loans | | Net Charge-Offs |
| | 2Q 2010 | 1Q 2010 | 4Q 2009 | | 2Q 2010 | 1Q 2010 | 4Q 2009 |
| Commercial | | | | | | | |
| South Carolina | $ 170.1 | $ 108.9 | $120.0 | | $ 31.6 | $ 19.5 | $ 43.1 |
| North Carolina | 106.9 | 79.7 | 84.9 | | 31.7 | 13.0 | 18.0 |
| Florida | 147.4 | 148.2 | 156.7 | | 19.7 | 44.3 | 61.8 |
| Consumer | 4.5 | 6.1 | 7.2 | | 5.3 | 6.3 | 9.1 |
| Lot Loans | 11.3 | 9.3 | 9.1 | | 3.5 | 2.9 | 5.1 |
| Mortgage | 20.4 | 22.0 | 21.1 | | 1.9 | 1.6 | 5.8 |
| Total | $ 460.6 | $ 374.2 | $ 399.0 | | $ 93.7 | $ 87.8 | $ 142.9 |
“Credit quality continues to reflect the ongoing stress in the residential construction sector and movement from Florida into coastal South Carolina and western North Carolina. The retail portfolios reflect ongoing economic stabilization but improvement remains subdued,” stated Rob Edwards, Chief Credit Officer.
| - | Excess cash reserves and securities provide a strong liquidity position but negatively impacted the net interest margin |
| · | Excess cash reserves and unpledged securities totaled $1.9 billion at June 30, 2010, compared to $2.2 billion at March 31, 2010 |
| · | Customer funding totaled $7.9 billion at June 30, 2010, compared to $8.1 billion at March 31, 2010 reflective of seasonal declines in public funds of approximately $160 million and continued pricing discipline on money market accounts, which declined $115 million; time deposits increased approximately $187 million |
| - | Operating results continue to be negatively impacted by credit-related and liquidity costs and reduced earning asset levels |
| · | Net interest income declined by $4.1 million during the quarter from lower outstanding loan balances while the net interest margin declined to 2.55% from 2.75% |
| · | Liquidity-related costs accounted for approximately 12 basis points of the margin decline while credit-related items accounted for 7 basis points of the margin decline |
| · | Operating noninterest income increased $5.0 million linked-quarter, from $21.5 million to $26.5 million as a result of higher BOLI income and lower credit valuation adjustments on customer swaps as well as increases in customer-related revenues |
| · | Operating noninterest expenses, excluding credit-related and regulatory costs, increased $1.8 million to $67.3 million reflecting the absence of certain employee benefit adjustments in first quarter 2010 |
| · | Included in first and second quarter operating noninterest expenses was $1.6 million and $1.4 million of expenses, respectively, related to the proposed merger and capital-raising activities |
| · | Credit-related and regulatory costs increased $6.7 million to $24.0 million from $17.3 million in first quarter 2010 |
“We continue to work on improving loan pricing while continuing to lower funding costs, which have been offset by our ongoing liquidity initiatives. We also continue to focus on maintaining core customer revenues while lowering our overall controllable expense base. As previously announced, we reduced FTEs to 2,066 at June 30, 2010 from 2,144 at March 31, 2010,” stated James R. Gordon, Chief Financial Officer.
Net Interest Income and Average Balance Sheet
Second quarter 2010 net interest income decreased $4.1 million to $69.5 million from $73.5 million in first quarter 2010 as a result of continued contraction in outstanding loan balances, increased liquidity and higher interest reversals from loans placed on nonaccrual status, partially offset by lower funding costs and one additional day as compared to the prior quarter.
The tax-equivalent net interest margin for second quarter 2010 decreased to 2.55%, down 20 basis points from 2.75% for first quarter 2010. The margin decline was primarily driven by TSFG’s ongoing liquidity positioning (approximately 12 basis points) and higher levels of nonperforming assets and nonaccrual interest reversals (approximately 7 basis points).
Second quarter 2010 average loans decreased $369.2 million, or 4.5% linked-quarter, to $7.9 billion, and period-end loans held for investment decreased $344.3 million. For internal management purposes, TSFG segregates its loan portfolio into core ($6.6 billion at period-end) and non-core ($1.0 billion at period-end) loans, principally based on its ability to establish or expand a banking relationship. During second quarter 2010, period-end core loans declined $215.7 million, or 3.2% linked-quarter, while non-core loans declined $128.6 million, or 11.0% linked-quarter ($1.6 billion since the beginning of 2009).
Second quarter 2010 average securities increased $157.7 million, or 7.4% linked-quarter, to $2.3 billion as excess cash was redeployed in short-term investments. Period-end securities declined $174.7 million to $2.1 billion, reflecting securities sales that occurred late in the second quarter. Subsequent to June 30, 2010, TSFG sold $1.2 billion of additional securities at an estimated realized gain of $35.6 million. All sales proceeds were reinvested in short-term, highly liquid securities.
Second quarter average core deposits (noninterest-bearing, interest checking, money market, and savings) decreased $209.1 million, or 4.6% linked-quarter, and period-end core deposits decreased $302.0 million. Second quarter 2010 average customer funding levels (defined as total deposits less brokered deposits plus customer sweep accounts) increased $174.0 million, or 2.2% linked-quarter, as increases in certificates of deposit, savings and demand deposits more than offset the decline in money market, interest checking and customer sweep accounts. Second quarter 2010 average wholesale borrowings, including brokered deposits and excluding customer sweep accounts, decreased $3.7 million, while period-end wholesale borrowings decreased $213.9 million.
Noninterest Income
Operating noninterest income for second quarter 2010 totaled $26.5 million, up $5.0 million from first quarter 2010. The increase was largely attributable to a $2.0 million increase in BOLI income, a $2.0 million decrease in credit valuation adjustments on customer swaps, as well as higher customer fee and mortgage income.
Total noninterest income, including non-operating items, was $37.0 million for second quarter 2010, compared with $21.1 million for first quarter 2010.
Second quarter non-operating items include $11.5 million of gains on sales of available-for-sale securities, partially offset by $1.0 million of other-than-temporary impairment write-downs for securities in an unrealized loss position at June 30, 2010 for which a decision to sell was made prior to the end of the quarter, resulting in a net gain on sales of investment securities of $10.5 million for the quarter.
Non-operating noninterest income items for first quarter 2010 included a $0.4 million net loss on securities, primarily due to the write-down of certain equity investments.
Noninterest Expenses
Operating noninterest expenses totaled $91.3 million for second quarter 2010, an $8.5 million linked-quarter increase from $82.8 million for first quarter 2010, due to higher credit-related expenses, FDIC insurance premiums and personnel costs.
Excluding the impact of credit-related expenses and FDIC insurance premiums, all other operating noninterest expenses increased $1.8 million, or 2.8%, linked-quarter, driven by the absence of $2.1 million of accrual reversals related to the restructure of certain executive retirement plans during the first quarter. Full-time equivalent employees totaled 2,066 at June 30, 2010, down from 2,144 at March 31, 2010.
Credit-related noninterest expenses, which include loan collection and foreclosed asset expenses, gains or losses on nonmortgage loans held for sale, losses on other real estate owned, and FDIC insurance premiums increased $6.7 million linked-quarter, primarily from increases in OREO write-downs, a full quarter of higher FDIC insurance premiums and increases in loan collection costs.
Total noninterest expenses, including non-operating items, were $305.5 million for second quarter 2010, compared with $83.7 million for first quarter 2010.
Second quarter 2010 non-operating noninterest expense includes $214.1 million of non-cash goodwill impairment write-downs related to TSFG’s Carolinas Banking segment and insurance operations. The impairment charge was the result of TSFG’s annual goodwill impairment evaluation reflecting the valuation of the company implied by the merger agreement with TD Bank. First quarter 2010 non-operating noninterest expense items included $0.9 million of severance-related benefits associated with staff reduction initiatives implemented in March 2010.

At June 30, 2010, nonperforming loans held for investment totaled $460.6 million, an $86.4 million increase from $374.2 million at March 31, 2010, as stabilization in TSFG’s Florida markets was offset by deterioration in our coastal South Carolina and western North Carolina residential construction portfolios. Nonperforming asset balances also increased from first quarter 2010, increasing $89.7 million to $608.0 million at June 30, 2010. Nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets increased to 5.25% at June 30, 2010 from 4.17% at March 31, 2010. Sales of nonperforming assets were $38.7 million in second quarter 2010.
The provision for credit losses for second quarter 2010 totaled $113.9 million, compared with $95.1 million for first quarter 2010. The provision increased the overall allowance for credit losses to $400.7 million, or 5.23% of loans held for investment, up from $380.5 million, or 4.75% of loans held for investment, at March 31, 2010. The allowance coverage of nonperforming loans held for investment decreased to 0.86 times at June 30, 2010 from 1.00 times at March 31, 2010.
Net loan charge-offs in second quarter 2010 increased $5.9 million to $93.7 million, or 4.78% annualized, of average loans held for investment, from $87.8 million, or 4.32% annualized, for first quarter 2010. Commercial net charge-offs were the primary driver of the second quarter increase. Retail losses remained stable with first quarter net charge-offs of approximately $11 million.

Explanation of TSFG’s Use of Certain Unaudited Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains financial information determined by methods other than Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). The attached financial highlights provide reconciliations between GAAP net income (loss) and operating measures, which exclude gains or losses on certain items deemed not to reflect core operations and goodwill impairment charges. TSFG uses these non-GAAP measures in its analysis of TSFG’s performance and believes presentations of “operating” financial measures provide useful supplemental information, a clearer understanding of TSFG’s performance, and better reflect TSFG’s core operating activities. Management utilizes non-GAAP measures in the calculation of certain of TSFG’s ratios, in particular, to analyze on a consistent basis over time the performance of what it considers to be its core operations. TSFG believes the non-GAAP measures enhance investors’ understanding of TSFG’s business and performance. These measures are also useful in understanding performance trends and facilitate comparisons with the performance of other financial institutions. The limitations associated with operating measures and cash basis information are the risk that persons might disagree as to the appropriateness of items comprising these measures and that different companies might calculate these measures differently. Management compensates for these limitations by providing detailed reconciliations between GAAP and operating measures. These disclosures should not be considered an alternative to GAAP.

However, such statements necessarily involve risks and uncertainties and there are a number of factors – many of which are beyond TSFG’s control -- that could cause the actual conditions, events, or results to differ materially from those in such statements. For a discussion of certain factors that may cause such forward-looking statements to differ materially from TSFG’s actual results, please refer to TSFG’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

This news release contains forward-looking statements about TSFG and the proposed transaction between TSFG and TD.
