Business Editors - New York – (Business Wire – January 17, 2012)
Intervest Bancshares Corporation (NASDAQ-GS: IBCA), parent company of Intervest National Bank, today reported its 2011 fourth quarter and full year financial results. Financial highlights for the quarter follow.
| | • | | Net earnings for the fourth quarter of 2011 (“Q4-11”) increased to $2.7 million, or $0.13 per diluted common share, from $0.4 million, or $0.02 per share, for the fourth quarter of 2010 (“Q4-10”). |
| | • | | Earnings before deducting provisions for loan and real estate losses, real estate expenses, income taxes and preferred dividend requirements amounted to $7.8 million in Q4-11, compared to $6.6 million in Q4-10. |
| | • | | Provisions for loan and real estate losses decreased to $1.4 million in Q4-11, from $4.7 million in Q4-10. The allowance for loan losses amounted to $30.4 million at December 31, 2011 and represented 2.61% of total outstanding loans. |
| | • | | Net interest and dividend income was $10.6 million in Q4-11, compared to $10.4 million in Q4-10. The net interest margin improved to 2.22% in Q4-11, from 2.06% in Q4-10. |
| | • | | Noninterest expenses decreased to $3.8 million in Q4-11, from $4.9 million in Q4-10. The Company’s efficiency ratio, which is a measure of its ability to control expenses as a percentage of its revenues, continues to be strong and was 32% in Q4-11, compared to 42% in Q4-10. |
| | • | | Nonaccrual loans and real estate owned (REO) totaled $86 million at December 31, 2011, compared to $87 million at September 30, 2011 and $80 million at December 31, 2010. Nonaccrual loans include certain restructured loans (TDRs) that are current and performing in accordance with their renegotiated terms, but are classified nonaccrual based on regulatory guidance. At December 31, 2011, such loans totaled $46 million and were yielding 5.08%, compared to $37 million yielding 4.71% at September 30, 2011 and $21 million yielding 2.98% at December 31, 2010. |
| | • | | Intervest National Bank’s regulatory capital ratios continue to be well above its minimum requirements. At December 31, 2011, its actual ratios were as follows: Tier One Leverage - 11.21%; Tier One Risk-Based - 16.06%; and Total Risk-Based Capital - 17.33%, compared to its minimum requirements of 9%, 10% and 12%, respectively. The Bank’s Tier 1 capital amounted to $218 million and was $43 million in excess of the required minimum for its leverage ratio. |
| | • | | Book value per common share increased to $8.07 at December 31, 2011, from $7.61 at December 31, 2010. |
Net earnings for Q4-11 increased by $2.3 million over Q4-10 due to the following: a $3.3 million decrease in the total provision for loan and real estate losses (resulting from fewer credit rating downgrades on loans and writedowns of REO); a $1.1 million decrease in noninterest expenses (reflecting decreases of $0.9 million in FDIC premiums, $0.2 million in data processing costs and $0.2 million in professional fees, partially offset by a $0.2 million increase in salaries and benefits); and a $0.2 million increase in net interest and dividend income (as described below). The total of these items was partially offset by a $2.0 million increase in income tax expense (due to higher pre-tax income) and a $0.3 million increase in real estate expenses. The effective income tax rate was 46% in Q4-11 and Q4-10.
The increase in net interest and dividend income over Q4-10 reflected a 16 basis point improvement in the net interest margin, largely offset by a planned decrease in the Bank’s assets and liabilities as well as decreased lending opportunities due to current economic conditions. In Q4-11, total average interest-earning assets decreased by $108 million from Q4-10, reflecting a $166 million decrease in loans, partially offset by a $61 million increase in security investments. At the same time, average deposits and borrowed funds decreased by $119 million and $12 million, respectively, while average stockholders’ equity increased by $15 million. The decrease in assets positively impacted the Bank’s regulatory capital ratios.
The higher net interest margin was attributable to lower rates paid on deposit accounts and the repayment of maturing higher-cost brokered CDs and FHLB borrowings, largely offset by the decrease in loans. Overall, the average cost of funds decreased by 41 basis points to 2.62% in Q4-11, from 3.03% in Q4-10, while the yield on average earning assets decreased at a slower pace by 26 basis points to 4.63% in Q4-11, from 4.89% in Q4-10, due to payoffs of higher yielding loans and calls of U.S. government agency security investments due to declining interest rates, coupled with the re-investment of a large portion of these cash inflows into securities at lower market interest rates.
For 2011, net earnings were $9.5 million, or $0.45 per diluted common share, compared to a net loss of $55.0 million, or $4.95 per share, for 2010. The improvement was due to $108.6 million decrease in the total provision for loan and real estate losses; a $2.5 million decrease in real estate expenses; a $2.2 million increase in noninterest income (reflecting a $1.1 million increase in loan prepayment income and a $1.0 million decrease in security impairment writedowns); and a $3.2 million decrease in noninterest expenses (reflecting decreases of $1.7 million in FDIC premiums, $1.3 million in data processing costs and $0.7 million in professional fees, partially offset by a $0.5 million increase in salaries and benefits). The total of these items was partially offset by a $2.1 million decrease in net interest and dividend income and a $49.9 million increase in income tax expense (due to pre-tax income of $21 million in 2011 versus a pre-tax loss of $94 million in 2010). The net loss in 2010 was primarily driven by a bulk sale in May of nonperforming and underperforming assets as discussed in prior releases. The assets sold aggregated to $207 million and consisted of $192 million of loans and $15 million of REO. The assets were sold at a substantial discount to their net carrying values. As a result of this transaction, a $79 million combined provision for loan and real estate losses was recorded, which after taxes contributed approximately $44 million, or 80%, to the reported loss. At December 31, 2011, the Company had a deferred tax asset totaling $38.8 million, which included remaining unused NOL carryforwards of $34 million for Federal purposes and $66 million for state and local purposes. The NOLs, which arose from the bulk sale, are available to reduce taxes payable on future taxable income.
Total assets at December 31, 2011 decreased to $1.97 billion from $2.07 billion at December 31, 2010, primarily reflecting a decrease in loans, partially offset by an increase in security investments. Loans totaled $1.16 billion at December 31, 2011, a $174 million decrease from $1.34 billion at December 31, 2010. The decrease reflected $243 million of principal repayments, $9.6 million of chargeoffs and $4.4 million of transfers to REO, partially offset by $82 million of new loans. The loan portfolio is comprised of commercial and multifamily real estate loans, and the Company does not own or originate construction/development loans.
Nonaccrual loans and REO aggregated to $86 million, or 4.3% of total assets, at December 31, 2011, compared to $80 million, or 3.9%, at December 31, 2010. Nonaccrual loans totaled $57 million at December 31, 2011 and $53 million at December 31, 2010 and included $46 million (12 loans) and $21 million (6 loans) of TDRs that were current at each date, respectively. All the TDRs classified as nonaccrual have performed as agreed under their renegotiated terms and interest income is being recorded on a cash basis. During 2011, based on updated appraisals received on the underlying collateral properties, a portion of seven TDRs (or $5.8 million of principal) were charged off, although the borrowers remain obligated to pay all contractual principal due.
The allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2011 was $30.4 million, representing 2.61% of total net loans, compared to $34.8 million, or 2.61%, at December 31, 2010. The allowance included specific reserves for impaired loans (comprised of all nonaccrual loans as well as accruing TDRs) at each date totaling $8.0 million and $7.2 million, respectively.
Securities held to maturity increased by $86 million to $700 million at December 31, 2011 from $614 million at December 31, 2010. The growth in the portfolio was a function of decreased lending opportunities. At December 31, 2011, the portfolio, which represented 36% of total assets and comprised nearly all of U.S. government agency debt securities, had a weighted-average yield to earliest call date of 1.39% and a weighted-average remaining contractual maturity of 5 years. The Bank invests in U.S. government agency debt obligations to emphasize safety and liquidity, and does not own or invest in collateralized debt obligations, collateralized mortgage obligations or derivatives.
Deposits at December 31, 2011 decreased to $1.66 billion from $1.77 billion at December 31, 2010, primarily reflecting a $106 million decrease in CD accounts, of which $31 million were brokered. Borrowed funds and related interest payable at December 31, 2011 decreased to $79 million, from $85 million at December 31, 2010, due to the maturity and repayment of $8 million of FHLB borrowings, partially offset by a $2 million increase in accrued interest payable on trust preferred securities. Since February 2010, as required by our regulators and as permitted by the underlying documents, the Company has suspended the payment of interest on $55 million of trust preferred securities as well as the declaration and payment of TARP dividends on $25 million of preferred stock held by the U.S. Treasury. Stockholders’ equity increased to $198 million at December 31, 2011 from $186 million at December 31, 2010, primarily due to $11 million of net earnings before preferred dividend requirements.
