Capital Bank Corporation Earnings Per Share Up 25% YTD
RALEIGH, N.C. - October 18, 2005 - Capital Bank Corporation (Nasdaq: CBKN), the
parent company of Capital Bank, today reported that its third quarter 2005 net
income was $1.7 million compared to $1.6 million for the third quarter of 2004.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, net income was $4.9 million
compared to $3.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, a 25%
increase. Fully diluted earnings per share was $.25 for the third quarter of
2005, $.01 increase over the third quarter of 2004. For the nine months ended
September 30, 2005 and 2004, fully diluted earnings per share were $.71 and
$.57, respectively. Total assets on September 30, 2005 were $927.0 million
compared to $882.3 million at the end of 2004.
"We are pleased with our continued earnings and asset growth for the third
quarter, as it signifies that our concentrated efforts around core deposit
growth and improving our deposit mix are paying off," said B. Grant Yarber,
President and Chief Executive Officer. "As asset quality, net interest margin,
and core deposits trend positively along with the funding of increased loan
commitments, we anticipate continued optimism about the future success of
Capital Bank."
Net interest income increased by approximately $740,000 during the third quarter
of 2005 compared to the third quarter of 2004. Net interest income totaled
approximately $7.4 million during the third quarter, representing a net interest
margin of 3.57% on a tax equivalent basis. The Company's net interest margin, on
a tax equivalent basis, remained relatively constant during the third quarter
despite market pressures leading to industry wide margin compression. The
Company continues to concentrate on increasing its margin through core deposit
growth and competitive loan pricing.
The provision for loan losses for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 was
$(28,000) compared to $268,000 for the third quarter of 2004, due to improvement
in the overall quality of the Company's commercial loan portfolio. Annualized
net charge-offs for the third quarter of 2005 were 0.07% of average loans
compared to 0.09% and 0.06% for the second and first quarters of 2005,
respectively. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans at
September 30, 2005 was 1.52%. The provision for loan losses for the nine months
ended September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004 were $(434,000) and $681,000,
respectively.

Non-interest income for the third quarter of 2005 was $1.8 million compared to
$2.3 million in the third quarter of 2004. For the nine months ended September
30, 2005, non-interest income was $4.7 million compared to $5.4 million for the
first nine months of 2004. The decreases in the current periods in 2005 when
compared to the same periods of 2004, are primarily due to the combined effect
of the sale of the Company's Northern Region branches and the sale of a portion
of the Company's mortgage loan portfolio, which together provided increased
non-interest income of approximately $776,000.
Non-interest expense in the third quarter of 2005 was $6.6 million compared to
$6.5 million in the second quarter of 2005. Increases were primarily
attributable to additional marketing expenses and directors' fees.
Total deposits increased by $13.2 million during the third quarter, reaching
approximately $703.2 million on September 30, 2005. Core deposits increased $9.2
million during the third quarter. Consistent with our effort to continue
improvement in the net interest margin, certain time deposits maturing during
the quarter were not retained as they matured.
Loans outstanding during the quarter decreased by $2.3 million from June 30,
2005 balances due to payments on outstanding loans. Loan balances are
anticipated to rise during the last quarter of 2005 due to robust new loan
demand and a significant increase in unfunded commitments. The Company continues
to be well capitalized under regulatory capital guidelines.

$927 million in total assets, offers a broad range of financial services.
