COLUMBIA BANKING SYSTEM ANNOUNCES
THIRD QUARTER 2009 RESULTS AND DECLARES CASH DIVIDEND
Business Fundamentals Remain Strong; Company is Very Well Capitalized,
With Strong Liquidity and Excellent Core Deposit Base
TACOMA, Washington, October 29, 2009 -- Columbia Banking System, Inc. (NASDAQ: COLB) (“Columbia”) today announced third quarter 2009 results reflecting a net loss applicable to common shareholders of $2.6 million, compared with a net loss of $8.8 million for the third quarter of 2008. On a diluted earnings per common share basis, the net loss was $0.11, compared with a loss of $0.49 per share a year earlier. The loss for the quarter reflected a provision for loan losses of $16.5 million due to the continued decline in real estate values, principally relating to residential land, lots and lot development loans.
“While we continue to be challenged by the ongoing decline of real estate values, our fundamental strength provides the foundation to move forward with strategies that are improving our franchise,” said Melanie Dressel, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We raised $120 million in capital through a public offering, which validated the success and strength of our company. We are maintaining our aggressive focus on managing our credit issues, and are continuing to work toward improving earnings and increasing market share in the areas we serve. To that end, we have brought on board talented bankers in our new and existing market areas, who, along with our current experienced bankers, help us attract new customers and take advantage of disruptions in the market.”
The net loss applicable to common shareholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $8.8 million, compared with earnings of $4.2 million for the first nine months of 2008. On a diluted per common share basis, the net loss was $0.45, compared with income of $0.23 a year earlier.
Ms. Dressel continued, “In spite of the challenges inherent in the banking industry today, we believe our business model places us in a strong position, particularly as the economy improves.
The following factors reinforce our confidence in the future:
õ We remain very well capitalized, with a total risk-based capital ratio of 19.06% at September 30, 2009, or about $224 million above the threshold set by banking regulations to be considered well capitalized, which is the highest rating. Our capital ratio was 14.61% at the end of the second quarter 2009, and was 14.47% at the end of the first quarter 2009
õ Our historically stable net interest margin was at 4.34%, unchanged from September 30, 2008.
õ We have an exceptional core deposit level of 83% of our total deposits, reflecting the strength of the relationships we have built with our customers, and are an important factor in the relatively stable net interest margin we have maintained.
õ Our diverse loan portfolio has helped us avoid concentration of risk in any one segment. Only 6% of the total portfolio are loans in the residential real estate construction area, which continues to be a challenging segment in the Pacific Northwest. Approximately 37% of our total portfolio is in commercial business loans.
õ Columbia’s liquidity ratio of approximately 50% for the quarter translates into over $1.5 billion of available funding for our general operations and to meet the loan and deposit needs of our customers.
ð We continue to look to our future growth by hiring experienced teams of bankers who give us access to new clients and markets, and by adding retail locations that make strategic sense for us.
ð We are proud to have received another award designating Columbia Bank as a great place to work. In August, we received a “Washington’s Best Workplaces 2009” award from the Puget Sound Business Journal
Capital Raise
In August 2009, Columbia raised $120 million in capital through a public offering of 9,775,000 common shares, including 1,275,000 shares pursuant to the underwriters’ over-allotment option, at a price of $12.25 per share. The net proceeds to the company after deducting underwriting expenses were approximately $113.8 million. As a result of the completion of a qualifying offering prior to December 31, 2009, the number of shares of common stock subject to the warrant issued to the United States Treasury in connection with Columbia’s participation in the Capital Purchase Program has been reduced by 50%, from 796,046 to 398,023. Ms. Dressel commented, “We were extremely pleased with the result of our public offering, which was a real testament to the strength of our company. This additional capital, when added to our already strong capital levels, gives us the flexibility to respond quickly and effectively to business opportunities as they arise.”
Revenue
Revenue (net interest income plus noninterest income) was $36.3 million for the third quarter of 2009, up 95% from $18.6 million one year ago. The significant increase was primarily due to the $18.5 million impairment charge in the third quarter 2008 related to the decline in the fair value of an investment in preferred stock issued by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”) and the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”). Excluding the impairment charge, revenue for the third quarter 2009 was down 2% from third quarter 2008, primarily due to the impact of nonperforming loans, and decreases in loan balances and line of credit usage.
Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $106.7 million, an increase of 8% from $98.7 million for the same period in 2008. Excluding the 2008 non-recurring items consisting of the impairment charge, redemption of Visa and MasterCard shares and gain on the sale of investment securities, revenue for the first nine months of 2009 was down 6% from the first nine months of 2008.
At September 30, 2009, Columbia’s total assets were $3.17 billion, compared with $3.10 billion at December 31, 2008. Total loans were $2.06 billion at September 30, 2009, down from $2.23 billion at year-end 2008. Total securities increased $118 million to $658.2 million at September 30, 2009 as a result of management’s asset/liability strategies. Total deposits were $2.44 billion at September 30, 2009, compared with $2.38 billion at December 31, 2008, and $2.35 billion at June 30, 2009. Core deposits, defined as demand, savings, money market accounts and certificates of deposit under $100,000, totaled $2.03 billion at September 30, 2009, comprising 83% of total deposits.
Ms. Dressel noted, “We have been successful in achieving a lower cost deposit mix, as we continue to focus on core deposits and developing our customerrelationships though our community banking model. The decrease in our total loans reflects the soft market and the resulting lower demand, as well as payoffs in theconstruction loan portfolio. The decrease in our commercial business loans is primarily a result of loan pay-downs and a decrease in line of credit usage.”
Third Quarter 2009 Operating Results
Net Interest Income
Net interest income for the third quarter of 2009 was relatively stable at $29.1 million, a decrease of $475,000, or 2%, from $29.6 million for the third quarter 2008, primarily due to a decrease in earning assets from the prior year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, net interest income decreased 5% to $85.6 million from $90.2 million a year earlier.
Columbia’s net interest margin was 4.34% for the third quarter 2009, unchanged from 4.34% for the third quarter of 2008, and down from 4.38% in the second quarter 2009. On a quarterly basis, the net interest margin was 4.26% for the first quarter of 2009, and 4.39% for the fourth quarter of 2008. Interest reversals impacting the net interest margin for the third quarter 2009 were $569,000, representing approximately 8 basis points.
Average interest-earning assets decreased 2% to $2.78 billion in the third quarter of 2009, from $2.83 billion in the third quarter of 2008. The yield on average interest-earning assets decreased 85 basis points to 5.28% in the third quarter of 2009, from 6.13% in the third quarter of 2008. Average interest-bearing liabilities decreased to $2.02 billion from $2.26 billion last year. The cost of average interest-bearing liabilities decreased 95 basis points to 1.29% in the third quarter of 2009, compared with 2.24% in
the third quarter of 2008. Ms. Dressel noted, “These results reflect the rapid decline in interest rates during 2008. The prime rate was 5.00% at the end of the third quarter 2008, compared to the current rate of 3.25%.”
During the first nine months of 2009, Columbia’s net interest margin decreased to 4.34% from 4.37% a year earlier. Average interest-earning assets decreased to $2.75 billion in the first nine months of 2009 from $2.88 billion in the 2008 period. The yield on average interest-earning assets decreased 107 basis points to 5.39% in the first nine months of 2009, from 6.46% in 2008. Average interest-bearing liabilities were $2.08 billion compared to $2.31 billion for the first nine months of 2008. The cost of average interest-bearing liabilities decreased 120 basis points to 1.40% in the first nine months of 2009, compared with 2.60% for the 2008 period. Interest reversals impacting the net interest margin for the first nine months of 2009 were $1.9 million, representing approximately 9 basis points.
Noninterest income
Total noninterest income for the third quarter 2009 was $7.2 million, compared to a loss of $11.0 million a year earlier. The increase was primarily due to the $18.5 million impairment charge in the third quarter 2008 related to the decline in the fair value of an investment in preferred stock issued by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”) and the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”). Excluding the impact of the impairment charge, noninterest income was down 5% from September 30, 2008. This reduction was due to a combination of reduced volumes of merchant services activity and decreases in other income items. Other income was down approximately 20% from September 30, 2008 primarily due to reduced fees from mortgage banking activity, as well as reduced income from the customer interest rate swap program.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, noninterest income was $21.2 million, an increase of $12.6 million, or 149%, from the 2008 period. The increase was primarily due to the impairment charge in the third quarter 2008 noted above. Excluding the impact of the impairment charge, noninterest income declined 22% from the same period in 2008. Proceeds from the redemption of Visa and MasterCard shares for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 declined $3 million from the same period in 2008, and other income for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 declined $1.3 million, or 30% from the same period in 2008 partially due to the receipt of life insurance proceeds of $612,000
received in the prior year, as well as reduced fees from mortgage banking activity and less participation in the customer interest rate swap program.
Noninterest expense
Noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2009 was $23.1 million, a decrease of $245,000 or 1%, from $23.4 million a year earlier. Decreases in compensation and benefits, advertising and promotion and other expenses resulting from the continued focus on expense control were offset by higher regulatory premiums and additional costs of operating other real estate owned. Regulatory premiums increased $642,000, or 111%, from the third quarter of 2008, resulting from increased FDIC assessment rates. Other real estate owned balances increased to $18.1 million at September 30, 2009, compared to $1.3 million for the same period in 2008, contributing to a $314,000 increase in cost of operating from September 30, 2008.
Total noninterest expense for the first nine months of 2009 was $71.6 million, an increase of $1.3 million, or 2%, from $70.3 million a year earlier. Decreases of 5% in compensation and employee benefits, and 7% in occupancy expenses were again significantly offset by legal and professional fees and FDIC regulatory premium expenses. Legal and professional fees were $2.8 million for the first nine months of 2009, compared to $1.5 million for the first nine months of 2008. FDIC regulatory premium expenses were $4.7 million for the first nine months of 2009, compared to $1.4 million for the same period one year ago.
Asset Quality
Nonperforming assets as of September 30, 2009 were $148.8 million, compared to $109.6 million at December 31, 2009, $136.1 million at June 30, 2009 and $78.2 million at September 30, 2008. Residential construction assets continue to be the weakest part of the loan portfolio, encompassing the largest component of nonperforming assets and the largest contributor to charge-offs.
Residential construction nonperforming assets increased $9.3 million to $81.3 million during the period, primarily due to two King County relationships which were placed on nonaccrual status during the quarter. One is a $6.9 million lot development loan; we are pursuing a troubled debt restructure with the
borrower and have set aside a specific reserve of $2.3 million pending the final outcome of the restructure. The other relationship comprises a combination of vertical construction and lot loans which total $8.2 million. We have set aside specific reserves of $2.4 million for this relationship.
At September 30, 2009, nonaccrual 1-4 family residential construction loans totaled $65.5 million, down $4.1 million from December 31, 2008 and relatively unchanged from June 30, 2009. Nonaccrual 1-4 family residential construction loans accounted for 50% of the 1-4 family residential construction loan portfolio.
Commercial real estate assets account for another $48.0 million, or 32%, of nonperforming assets. Broken out by property type, the commercial real estate nonperforming assets include: condominiums at $13.8 million; commercial office-warehouse facilities of approximately $10.3 million; retail properties of approximately $8.1 million; and office properties of about $4.0 million, with a variety of other property types accounting for the balance of $11.8 million. Commercial real estate nonperforming assets were essentially unchanged for the quarter.
Nonaccrual commercial real estate loans were $26.7 million, up $20.9 million from December 31, 2009 and up $2.4 million from June 30, 2009. Nonaccrual commercial real estate loans represent approximately 3.1% of total commercial real estate loans at September 30, 2009, 2.8% at June 30, 2009 and 0.7% at December 31, 2008.
Nonperforming commercial business loans increased $2.7 million during the third quarter. At September 30, 2009, nonperforming commercial business loans were $15 million, an increase of $12 million from December 31, 2009. This represents approximately 2% of total commercial business loans at September 30, 2009 up from 0.4% as of December 31, 2009 and 1.6% as of June 30, 2009.
Other Real Estate Owned was $18.1 million at September 30, 2009, up $15.3 million. from $2.9 million at December 31, 2008. OREO increased $9.8 million from June 30, 2009, consisting primarily of of 1-4 family residential construction assets. The net cost of operation of Other Real Estate Owned was $318,000 and $590,000 for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively, compared to $4,000 and $(19,000) for the same periods last year. Ms. Dressel commented, “As we have been discussing, OREO increased this quarter as we saw natural migration.”
For the quarter ended September 30, 2009, net loan charge-offs were approximately $13.7 million, compared to $16.4 million for the same period a year ago, and $16.4 million during the second quarter of 2009. Net charge-offs in the 1-4 family residential construction portfolio of $5.7 million for the quarter were centered in residential land and lot development loans. Commercial real estate charge offs of $2.4 million were primarily related to retail construction loans. The commercial business pool had charge-offs of approximately $4.9 million and were centered in loans related to the construction and real estate development industries. The balance, or approximately $700,000, was distributed across the rest of the loan portfolio.
Past due loans were $12.0 million, or 0.58% of total loans, as of September 30, 2009, down from $16.4 million, or 0.77%, of total loans as of June 30, 2009 and up from $10.4 million, or 0.46%, of total loans, at December 31, 2008.
Organizational Update
Ms. Dressel said, “We are taking advantage of strategic opportunities to fill in our geographic footprint, while continuing our expense reduction initiatives. Our long-awaited, full service branch in Renton opened in July. We have received regulatory approval for a branch location in Vancouver, Washington, which we expect to open in late fourth quarter 2009, and have applied for a new location in Portland, Oregon , which we anticipate opening during the first quarter of 2010.”
Ms. Dressel continued, “As noted earlier, our entire banking team is focused on increasing market share in every community we serve. With our capacity and willingness to lend, we have attracted excellent, experienced banking teams, most of whom were added in our Portland and Vancouver markets. Our complete complement of products and services, including a full spectrum of investment and wealth management capabilities and our status as a preferred SBA lender, position us very well to meet the needs of our business, retail and private banking customers.”.

Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements
This news release includes forward looking statements, which management believes are a benefit to shareholders. These forward looking statements describe management’s expectations regarding future events and developments such as future operating results, growth in loans and deposits, continued success of our style of banking and the strength of the local economy. The words “will,” “believe,” “expect,” “should,” and “anticipate” and words of similar construction are intended in part to help identify forward looking statements. Future events are difficult to predict, and the expectations described above are necessarily subject to risk and uncertainty that may cause actual results to differ materially and adversely. In addition to discussions about risks and uncertainties set forth from time to time in our filings with the SEC, factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by such forward looking statements include, among others, the following possibilities: (1) local and national economic conditions are less favorable than expected or have a more direct and pronounced effect on us than expected and adversely affect our ability to continue internal growth at historical rates and maintain the
quality of our earning assets; (2) a continued decline in the housing/real estate market; (3) changes in interest rates significantly reduce interest margins and negatively affect funding sources; (4) deterioration of credit quality that could, among other things, increase defaults and delinquency risks in the Banks’ loan portfolios (5) projected business increases following strategic expansion activities are lower than expected; (6) competitive pressure among financial institutions increases significantly; (7) legislation or regulatory requirements or changes adversely affect the businesses in which we are engaged; and (8) our ability to realize the efficiencies we expect to receive from our investments in personnel, acquisitions and infrastructure
