CARV Carver Bancorp Inc New

Carver Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") (Nasdaq:CARV), the holding company for Carver Federal Savings Bank ("Carver" or the "Bank"), today announced financial results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 ("fiscal 2012").

The Company reported a net loss of $7.1 million or a loss per share of $1.93 for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, compared to a net loss of $5.5 million or a loss per share of $33.15, for the prior year period. The Company reported a net loss of $23.4 million, or loss per share of $14.26, for fiscal 2012 compared to a net loss of $39.5 million, or loss per share of $242.25, for fiscal 2011.

"Carver continues to make progress on improving the performance and quality of our loan portfolio. While there is more work to be done, we are pleased to report that non-performing assets decreased by 35% to $86.4 million since the June 2011 peak of $133.5 million (including an 8% reduction in non-performing assets during the quarter)," said Chairman and CEO Deborah C. Wright. "Notably, delinquencies in the 30-89 day period declined 61% this quarter compared to the prior year period, decreasing to $22.4 million from $57.8 million."

Ms. Wright continued: "As a result of our previously reported $55 million capital raise, Carver's capital level continues to exceed regulatory requirements, with a Tier 1 leverage capital ratio of 9.83% versus the required 9.00%, and a total risk-based capital ratio of 16.94% versus the required 13.00%."

"While compression of the net interest margin continue this quarter, we have reduced Carver's cost of fund by prepaying $40 million in higher-cost borrowings. Our higher level of cash and cash equivalents position Carver to grow earning assets, which have declined significantly during this cycle. We are focused on rebuilding Carver's loan portfolio, though this process will take time given the challenging lending and economic environment. We are also working to increase fee income, principally through 'Carver Community Cash,' our well received product line designed to serve the unbanked," noted Ms. Wright.

Income Statement Highlights

Fourth Quarter Results

The Company reported a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2012 of $7.1 million compared to a net loss of $5.5 million for the prior year period. The primary drivers of the current quarter loss are charge offs taken on loans transferred to held for sale during the period and lower interest income on loans.

Net Interest Income

Interest income decreased $2.3 million, or 26.8%, to $6.4 million in the fourth quarter, compared to the prior year quarter, the variance primarily attributed to a $130.2 million or 19.1% decrease in the average balance of interest earning assets. The average yield on mortgage-backed securities fell 60 basis points to 2.42% from 3.02% during the quarter, as higher yielding securities experienced early payoffs and were replaced with lower yielding securities. The average yield on loans fell 39 basis points to 5.01% from 5.40%. The decline in average loan balances was the direct result of management's continuing efforts to reduce the level of non-performing real estate loans through transfer to loans held-for-sale ("HFS") and ultimately disposition through sales. The reduction in real estate loans will continue over the next several quarters until troubled debt restructures are complete and the Company rebuilds its loan production capacity.

Interest expense increased $0.4 million, or 19.0%, to $2.5 million for the fourth quarter, compared to $2.1 million for the prior year quarter. The increase is attributed to prepayment fees incurred as the Company made the strategic decision to prepay $30 million of repurchase agreements and $10 million of fixed rate borrowings. The average yield on interest earning liabilities fell 6 basis points to 1.35% at March 31, 2012, primarily due to management's decision to lower rates on deposits.

Provision for Loan Losses

The Company recorded a $4.1 million provision for loan losses for the fourth quarter compared to $6.8 million for the prior year quarter. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, net charge-offs of $4.6 million were recognized during the period compared to $5.0 million in the prior period. The charge-offs in the quarter were primarily related to loans moved to HFS.

Non-interest Income

Non-interest income decreased $0.3 million, or 21.1%, to $1.2 million for the fourth quarter, compared to $1.5 million for the prior year quarter, primarily due to $0.6 million of New Market Tax Credit (NMTC) fees and a gain on loan sales of $0.1 million, offset by $1.0 million of held for sale valuation adjustments incurred in the current period.

Non-interest Expense

Non-interest expense increased $0.2 million to $8.2 million compared to $8.0 million in the prior year quarter. The increase is primarily due to charge offs of escrow and carrying costs on loans HFS of $1 million, which were offset by $0.3 million in lower FDIC insurance premiums, $0.2 million in lower expenses on fixed assets and occupancy charges and a $0.2 million decrease in consulting fees, in the current period.

Income Taxes

The income tax benefit was $34 thousand for the fourth quarter compared to a $1.3 million expense for the prior year period.

Fiscal Year 2012 Results

The Company reported a net loss for fiscal 2012 of $23.4 million compared to a net loss of $39.5 million for the prior year period. The lower net loss is primarily the result of $16.3 million in provision for loan losses in the current period, which is $10.8 million less than the provision recorded in the prior year period, and the full valuation allowance taken against the deferred tax asset in the prior year period.

Net Interest Income

Interest income decreased $8.3 million to $27.9 million compared to $36.2 million in the prior year period. The decrease is primarily due to the drop in yields on interest bearing assets and the decrease in the average balance of interest earning assets, $5.7 million of the decrease in interest income was due to lower average balances and $2.6 million was due to lower yields. The average yield on mortgaged-backed securities fell 94 basis points to 2.70% from 3.64%. The average yield on loans fell 45 basis points to 4.93% from 5.38%. The current low interest rate environment, combined with the reduction in interest earning assets, continues to negatively impact interest income.

Interest expense decreased $1.4 million, or 14.8%, to $8.1 million compared to $9.5 million in the prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to a decline in deposit interest expense of $1.5 million. Borrowing expense increased during the fiscal year as the Company incurred prepayment fees following the early termination of $40 million in borrowings. The average yield on interest bearing liabilities fell 4 basis points to 1.43% at March 31, 2012 primarily due to management's decision to lower rates on certain deposits products. Termination of high coupon borrowings and lower deposit rates are expected to result in funding costs over the next several quarters.

Provision for Loan Losses

The Company recorded a $16.3 million provision for loan losses for the fiscal year, compared to $27.1 million for the prior year period. For the period ended March 31, 2012, net charge-offs were $19.7 million compared to $16.0 million for the prior year period, as the Company continues to execute our strategy to resolve troubled loans.

Non-interest Income

Non-interest income decreased $3.7 million, or 50.2%, to $3.7 million compared to $7.3 million for the prior year period. The decline is primarily due to $1.9 million of non-recurring fees that were earned on New Market Tax Credit (NMTC) transactions and a $0.8 million gain on sale of securities in the prior period. In addition the current period recognized a valuation adjustment on loans held-for-sale ("HFS") of $1.0 million.

Non-interest Expense

Non-interest expense remained essentially flat to prior fiscal year at $30.9 million. Increased charge offs of $ 1.4 million, the majority of which were related to escrow on loans HFS, were primarily offset by a $0.4 million reduction in federal deposit insurance premiums and an $0.8 million reduction consulting expenses.

Income Taxes

The income tax benefit was $1.0 million for the fiscal year compared to an expense of $15.7 million for the prior year period. The income tax benefit is primarily due to net operating loss carrybacks following management's reevaluating of its tax position. Tax expense in the prior year period resulted from the full reserve taken on the Company's deferred tax asset.

Financial Condition Highlights

At March 31, 2012, total assets decreased $68.0 million, or 9.6%, to $641.2 million, compared to $709.2 million at March 31, 2011. Total loans receivable decreased $167.4 million, investment securities increased $24.9 million and premises and equipment decreased by $1.5 million. These decreases were partially offset by cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash, which increased $54.0 million, loans held for sale increased by $20.4 million and the allowance for loan losses decreased by $3.3 million.

Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash increased $54.0 million, to $98.1 million at March 31, 2012, compared to $44.1 million at March 31, 2011. This increase was primarily driven by the capital raise inflow of $55 million, loan payoff and sales proceeds of $145.5 million, and an increase in money market deposits of $35 million. These inflows were offset by the repayment of institutional deposits of $95.5 million, early termination of borrowings of $40 million, investment purchases of $30 million and loan originations of $21.3 million.

Total securities increased $24.9 million, or 35.0%, to $96.2 million at March 31, 2012, compared to $71.2 million at March 31, 2011. This change reflects an increase of $31.6 million in available-for-sale securities and a $6.6 million decrease in held-to-maturity securities as the Company diversified its investment portfolio.

Total loans receivable decreased $167.4 million, or 28.9%, to $412.9 million at March 31, 2012, compared to $580.3 million at March 31, 2011, $110.2 million of principal repayments and loan payoffs across all loan classifications contributed to the majority of the decrease, with the largest impact from Commercial Real Estate, Construction and Business loans. Additionally $63.6 million of loans were transferred from held for investment to HFS. Principle charge offs for the fiscal year totaled $16.9 million. Decreases were partially offset by loan originations and advances of $23.1 million.

HFS loans increased $20.4 million. The Company has taken aggressive steps to increase troubled loan resolution. During the period the portfolio experienced a net increase of $52.8 million (net of charge offs), which was offset by $32.4 million of sales and paydowns.

Total liabilities decreased $96.9 million, or 14.2%, to $584.6 million at March 31, 2012, compared to $681.5 million at March 31, 2011.

Deposits decreased $28.1 million, or 5.0%, to $532.6 million at March 31, 2012, compared to $560.7 million at March 31, 2011. Reductions in institutional deposits impacted certificates of deposit and non interest bearing checking account balances. These declines were offset by growth in money market accounts following a promotional campaign held in the last quarter.

Advances from the Federal Home Loan bank of New York (FHLB-NY) and other borrowed money decreased $69.2 million, or 61.4%, to $43.4 million at March 31, 2012, compared to $112.6 million at March 31, 2011; $40 million of the decrease is a direct result of management's decision to prepay borrowings and a repurchase agreement before maturity. The remaining $30 million is attributed to scheduled maturities during the year.

Total equity increased $28.9 million, or 104.3%, to $56.6 million at March 31, 2012, compared to $27.7 million at March 31, 2011. The key component of this increase was a $55 million capital raise closed on June 29, 2011 as previously reported in a

Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 29, 2011. The increase in equity from the capital raise was partially offset by expenses of approximately $3.6 million related to the capital raise and the net loss for the fiscal year of $23.4 million.

Asset Quality

At March 31, 2012, non-performing assets totaled $86.4 million, or 13.5% of total assets, compared to $93.9 million or 14.0% of total assets at December 31, 2011. Non-performing assets at March 31, 2012 were comprised of $31.5 million of loans 90 days or more past due and non-accruing, $21.0 million of loans classified as a troubled debt restructuring, $2.1 million of loans that are either performing or less than 90 days past due and have been deemed to be impaired, $2.2 million of Real Estate Owned (REO), and $29.6 million of loans classified as HFS.

The allowance for loan losses was $19.8 million at March 31, 2012, which represents a ratio of the allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans of 36.3% compared to 29.46% at December 31, 2011. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans was 4.8% at March 31, 2012 compared to 4.45% at December 31, 2011.

(1) Non-accrual status denotes any loan where the delinquency exceeds 90 days past due and in the opinion of management the collection of additional interest and/or principal is doubtful. Payments received on a non-accrual loan are either applied to the outstanding principal balance or recorded as interest income, depending on assessment of the ability to collect on the loan.
(2)  Other non-performing assets generally represent loans that the Bank is in the process of selling and has designated held for sale or property acquired by the Bank in settlement of loans less costs to sell (i.e., through foreclosure, repossession or as an in-substance foreclosure). These assets are recorded at the lower of their cost or fair value.
(3)  Troubled debt restructured loans performing in accordance with their modified terms for less than six months and those not performing in accordance with their modified terms are considered non-accrual and are included in the non-accrual category in the table above. At March 31, 2012 there were $3.5 million TDR loans that had performed in accordance with their modified terms for a period of at least six months. These loans are generally considered performing loans and are not presented in the table above.
