UNITED COMMUNITY BANKS, INC. REPORTS
NET OPERATING LOSS FOR THIRD QUARTER 2009
● | Capital significantly strengthened by $222.5 million public common offering |
● | Provision for loan losses of $95.0 million exceeded charge-offs by $4.5 million |
● | Allowance-to-loans ratio of 2.80 percent, up from 2.64 percent last quarter |
● | Margin improvement of 11 basis points this quarter to 3.39 percent, up 69 basis points year-to-date |
● | Non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $25.0 million, or $.50 per diluted share |
BLAIRSVILLE, GA – October 23, 2009 – United Community Banks, Inc. (NASDAQ: UCBI) today reported a net operating loss of $43.7 million, or 93 cents per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2009. These results reflect elevated credit costs, including a $95 million provision for loan losses. Net operating loss does not include a $25 million non-cash charge for impairment of goodwill. Including this non-recurring charge, the net loss for the quarter was $68.7 million, or $1.43 per diluted share.
Net operating loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $98.8 million, or $2.17 per diluted share, and did not reflect $95 million of non-cash charges for goodwill impairment in the first and third quarters. Also not included were $2.9 million in severance costs in the first quarter and the $11.4 million gain on the Southern Community Bank acquisition in the second quarter, all of which are considered non-recurring items and therefore excluded from operating earnings. Including these non-recurring items, the net loss for the first nine months of 2009 was $188.5 million, or $4.01 per diluted share.

“We continue our strategy of aggressively disposing of problem credits,” stated Jimmy Tallent, president and chief executive officer. “At the same time, we are sharply focused on offensive strategies to drive shareholder value long-term by increasing core earnings through margin expansion, expense reductions and core deposit growth. This has been accomplished each quarter throughout 2009.”
Total loans were $5.4 billion at quarter-end, down $150 million from the second quarter and $467 million from the third quarter of 2008, reflecting continued reductions in exposure to the residential construction market and the overall weak business environment. As of September 30, 2009, residential construction loans were $1.2 billion, or 22 percent of total loans, a decrease of $411 million from a year ago and $130 million from the second quarter of 2009. “Partially offsetting the decline in total loans was our growth in Atlanta,” stated Tallent. “I am very pleased with our progress in restructuring the Atlanta region, where we have closed $180 million in small business and commercial loans in the first nine months of 2009.”
Taxable equivalent net interest revenue of $63.0 million reflected an increase of $2.1 million from last quarter, $4.2 million from a year ago, and an increase of $11.1 million from the fourth quarter of 2008. The taxable equivalent net interest margin was 3.39 percent compared with 3.28 percent for the second quarter of 2009, 3.17 percent for the third quarter of 2008, and 2.70 percent for the fourth quarter of 2008.
“The 11 basis point improvement in our net interest margin this quarter reflects our ongoing efforts to improve loan and deposit pricing,” stated Tallent. “We continued to maintain our loan pricing strategy with higher credit spreads while lowering pricing on new and renewed time deposits. During the third quarter, over $400 million of time deposits matured that were part of a 15-month special program completed in the second quarter of 2008. We retained about half of these deposits with a rate reduction of over 225 basis points. We will continue to actively pursue lowering deposit rates to improve our margin while balancing liquidity needs with our goal of maximizing earnings.”

“Excluding public funds and the deposits obtained through the acquisition, core transaction deposits increased $71 million this quarter and have grown $200 million year-to-date, or 13 percent on an annualized basis,” Tallent said. “This growth reflects the success of our United Express program for customer referrals and cross-selling. Year-to-date we opened 9,776 net new deposit accounts. During the third quarter alone, we have added 17, 785 new services.”
The third quarter provision for loan losses was $95.0 million compared with $60.0 million for the second quarter of 2009. Net charge-offs for the third quarter were $90.5 million compared with $58.3 million for the second quarter of 2009. At quarter-end, non-performing assets totaled $415.0 million compared with $392.6 million at June 30, 2009. The ratio of non-performing assets to total assets at the end of the third and second quarters was 4.91 percent and 4.63 percent, respectively. The allowance for loan losses to total loans was 2.80 percent and 2.64 percent, respectively.
“Credit quality continues to be our primary area of focus, particularly in the residential construction portfolio,” Tallent said. “While we have seen a rise in all categories of non-performing assets, the inflow is still driven by continued weakness in the housing and construction markets. The good news is that the residential construction problem credits in the Atlanta region are starting to decline on a linked-quarter basis. We have seen some negative migration in the commercial real estate categories, but the amounts are still within reasonable levels in light of current economic conditions. Though we could see more negative migration in commercial loans, we are cautiously optimistic because the portfolio is diversified, cash flow sources are varied, and a large percentage of the loans are owner-occupied.”
Operating fee revenue of $15.7 million reflected a $2.6 million increase from last quarter and a year ago. Operating fee revenue excludes the $11.4 million gain on the Southern Community Bank acquisition recorded last quarter. Consulting fees of $2.3 million were up $555,000 from last year due to an increase in demand for assistance with regulatory compliance matters. Mortgage loan fees of $1.8 million were up $422,000 from a year ago due to a high level of refinancing activity. Net securities gains of $1.1 million were up $1.0 million compared to the third quarter of 2008.

Operating expenses for the third quarter of 2009 were $53.6 million, a decrease of $3.4 million from last year. The decrease was primarily due to lower foreclosed property costs of $2.2 million and lower salary and benefit costs of $2.7 million. The decrease in salary and benefit costs were primarily due to the reduction in work force of 174 staff year-to-date and lower bonus incentives, which were offset partially by the 54 staff added last quarter through the acquisition. Additionally, several expense categories benefited this quarter from cost reductions including communications, advertising and printing costs. Partially offsetting the benefit of these lower costs were the rate increase for FDIC insurance premiums of $1.3 million and higher professional and legal fees related to the credit cycle.
The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2009 was 28 percent, compared to 35 percent for the third quarter of 2008. The lower effective tax rate in the third quarter of 2009 was due to the goodwill impairment charge for which no tax benefit is recognized. Excluding the goodwill impairment charge, the effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2009 was 38 percent. The projected effective tax rate for the balance of 2009 is 38 percent.
At September 30, 2009, the company’s regulatory capital ratios were as follows: Tier I Risk-Based Capital of 12.7 percent; Leverage of 9.5 percent; and Total Risk-Based of 15.3 percent. Also, the quarter-end tangible equity-to-assets ratio was 9.6 percent, the tangible common equity-to-assets ratio was 7.4 percent and the tangible common equity to risk weighted assets was 10.3 percent. The third quarter capital ratios reflect the successful common stock offering that closed on September 30, 2009. United issued 44,505,000 shares of common stock at a price of $5.00 per share and the net proceeds increased capital by $210.9 million.
“The additional capital significantly strengthens our balance sheet, allowing us to continue to aggressively deal with problem credits,” stated Tallent. “Even more important, it positions us to take advantage of once-in-a-lifetime opportunities to grow our business through organic growth, FDIC assisted transactions and customer dislocation within our markets. All of our strategies support our goal of building long-term shareholder value. While there is a lot of work yet to be done, we have the strongest sense of urgency to return United to the higher levels of profitability that it has achieved for decades.”
