Southern Community Financial Corporation (NASDAQ: SCMF) (NASDAQ:
SCMFO), the holding company for Southern Community Bank and Trust,
today reported second quarter 2009 results.
Financial Highlights
-- Net loss of $3.3 million or $0.20 per share
-- Net interest margin for second quarter 2009 increased four basis
points to 3.05% from 3.01% in first quarter 2009
-- Provision for loan losses of $6.0 million, an increase of $2.0
million, compared to $4.0 million in first quarter 2009
-- Net charge-offs were 1.85% of average loans, up from 1.09% in the
first quarter
-- Allowance for loan losses of $19.4 million or 1.55% of loans at June
30, 2009 compared to $19.3 million or 1.49% of loans at March 31, 2009.
Allowance coverage of nonperforming loans increased to 109% at June 30,
2009 compared to 95% at March 31, 2009.
-- Nonperforming loans decreased to $17.9 million or 1.43% of loans at
June 30, 2009 from $20.3 million or 1.56% of loans at March 31, 2009
-- Nonperforming assets increased to $35.7 million or 2.07% of total
assets at June 30, 2009 from $31.0 million or 1.73% of total assets at
March 31, 2009
-- Non-interest income increased $182 thousand or 6% on a linked quarter
basis, excluding $1.0 million Lehman write-off and $500 thousand gain on
sale of investment securities in second quarter and $404 thousand write-off
of our equity investment in Silverton Bank in the first quarter
Net loss after preferred dividends amounted to $3.3 million or
$0.20 per diluted common share in the second quarter of 2009 and
included an increased provision for loan losses ($6.0 million), a
$1.0 million write-off of collateral held by Lehman Brothers as the
counterparty in certain derivative contracts and $1.1 million
sequential increase in FDIC insurance premiums.
"The increases in our provision for loan losses and net
charge-offs for the second quarter were a direct result of our
aggressive efforts to work through and effectively resolve troubled
assets," said F. Scott Bauer, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
"This quarter's charge-off activity continues to be primarily
related to our residential construction and development loans which
remain adversely impacted by the persistently slow market for newly
constructed homes. We are encouraged by the recent trends in our
loan delinquencies, which have decreased over the past five months.
As a result our nonperforming loans have decreased to $17.9
million, or 1.43% of loans, at June 30, 2009 compared with $20.3
million, or 1.56% of loans, at March 31, 2009. As expected, our
second quarter results were impacted by this increased provision
for loan losses and the expenses associated with managing our loan
portfolio and foreclosed properties."
"Despite the difficult credit cycle Southern Community's core
bank continues to operate well. The company-wide focus on deposit
gathering and pricing discipline on loans contributed to the net
interest margin expansion of four basis points to 3.05%. For
example, we successfully increased lower cost non-interest bearing
deposits by 5% over the first quarter, and reduced higher cost CD
balances by 9% during the same time period."
"During the second half of 2009, we believe there will be more
opportunities to decrease our cost of funds, improve our net
interest margin and increase overall profitability. While loan
demand remains slow in this weakened economy, we believe that it is
likely to increase in the second half of 2009 based on recent
trends we are seeing across our markets. Southern Community remains
strong in terms of capital and liquidity and is well positioned to
weather this economic storm. Our Board and management team are
dedicated to working through these challenges and to capitalizing
on the outstanding opportunities that lie ahead."
Asset Quality
Nonperforming loans decreased to $17.9 million, or 1.43% of
total loans, at June 30, 2009 from $20.3 million, or 1.56% of total
loans, at March 31, 2009. Second quarter net charge-offs of $5.9
million, or 1.85% of average loans on an annualized basis,
increased from $3.5 million, or 1.09% of average loans annualized,
in the first quarter 2009. Nonperforming assets increased to $35.7
million, or 2.07% of total assets, at June 30, 2009 from $31.0
million, or 1.73% of total assets, at March 31, 2009 due to the
influx of foreclosed assets during the quarter. Nonperforming
loans, nonperforming assets and net charge-off activity continue to
be predominantly related to residential construction and
development lending as 72% of nonperforming loans, 76% of
nonperforming assets and 70% of net charge-offs originated from
this segment of the loan portfolio.
The provision for loan losses of $6.0 million for the second
quarter increased $2.0 million compared to the $4.0 million first
quarter 2009 provision and increased $2.5 million compared to $3.5
million provision for second quarter 2008.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income of $12.6 million for the second quarter 2009
increased by 1% compared with $12.5 million in the first quarter
2009; however, it increased 7% over the $11.8 million in the second
quarter 2008. The net interest margin of 3.05% for the second
quarter 2009 increased four basis points from 3.01% for the first
quarter 2009 and increased seven basis points from 2.98% in the
second quarter 2008. The sequential increase in net interest income
resulted from the impact of deposits and borrowings repricing lower
to a greater extent than interest earning assets. This favorable
rate variance was partially offset by a decrease of $26.9 million
in average earning assets during the second quarter 2009 compared
with the first quarter 2009. Quarter end loan balances decreased
$46.3 million, or 4%, from March 31, 2009. This decrease in loans
was due to a slowdown in loan demand as some of our primary
customers are deleveraging and taking a more conservative stance
toward borrowing during these difficult economic times.
Non-interest Income
Non-interest income of $2.7 million during the second quarter
2009 increased by $86 thousand or 3% compared with the first
quarter 2009 primarily resulting from increases in mortgage banking
income from increased refinance activity, gains on sales of
investment securities and service charge income. These increases
were partially offset by the $1.0 million write-off of the value of
collateral held by Lehman as the counterparty for certain
derivative contracts terminated in the third quarter 2008 as well
as decreases in wealth management income on lower transaction
activity and decreases in SBIC income. Excluding the $1.0 million
Lehman write-off (as disclosed under "gain (loss) and net cash
settlement on economic hedges" in attached summary income
statement), a $500 thousand gain on the sale of investment
securities in the second quarter, and a $404 thousand write-off of
an equity investment in Silverton Bank in the first quarter,
non-interest income increased $182 thousand or 6% compared with the
first quarter.
Non-interest Expenses
Non-interest expenses of $13.8 million during the second quarter
2009 increased $2.7 million, or 24%, on a linked quarter basis,
excluding the goodwill impairment charge of $49.5 million taken in
the first quarter 2009, and increased $3.1 million or 29%
year-over-year. The sequential increase in non-interest expenses
was primarily due to $1.1 million increase in FDIC deposit
insurance (approximately $800 thousand of which was the FDIC
special assessment), $472 thousand in prepayment penalties on early
extinguishment of FHLB advances, $347 thousand in OREO writedowns,
$370 thousand increase in buyer incentives to purchasers of
bank-financed builder housing inventory and increases in
commissions on increased mortgage activity. Staffing for our new
Asheville location and associated expenses for marketing efforts
focused on deposit gathering also contributed.
Balance Sheet
As of June 30, 2009, total assets amounted to $1.73 billion,
representing a decrease of $45.0 million, or 3% year-over-year;
however, excluding the $49.5 million goodwill impairment charge
taken in the first quarter 2009, total assets increased $4.4
million or 0.3% year-over-year. On a linked quarter basis, total
assets decreased $63.1 million or 4%. As mentioned above, the loan
portfolio decreased by $46.3 million or 4% sequentially during the
second quarter 2009 due to a slowdown in loan demand. Total
deposits of $1.25 billion at June 30, 2009 increased $36.5 million
or 3% year-over-year. During the second quarter 2009, deposits
decreased $74.3 million or 6% compared with the March 31, 2009
level. Time deposits decreased $68.9 million in the second quarter
as a result of active liability management through pricing with an
emphasis on improving our funding mix and lowering our funding
cost.
At June 30, 2009, stockholders' equity of $133.7 million
represented 7.74% of total assets. Stockholders' equity decreased
$4.5 million or 3% from $138.2 million at March 31, 2009.
Regulatory capital ratios remain in excess of the "well
capitalized" threshold.
