Frontier Financial Corporation (NASDAQ: FTBK) today announced
results for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. For the three months
ended March 31, 2009, the Corporation reported a net loss of $33.8
million, or ($0.72) per diluted share, compared to a net loss of
$89.5 million, or ($1.90) per diluted share for the three months
ended December 31, 2008, and net income of $15.5 million, or $0.33
per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2008.
Contributing to the first quarter 2009 net loss was a $58.0 million
provision for loan losses. During the fourth quarter of 2008, the
Corporation recognized a $77.1 million non-cash goodwill impairment
charge and a $44.4 million provision for loan losses.
The first quarter 2009 results reflect continued pressure from
an uncertain economy and the negative impact on the local housing
market. The ratio of nonperforming assets has increased to 16.25%
of total assets at March 31, 2009, up from 10.87% at December 31,
2008, and 0.97% a year ago. Because of this continued pressure, the
provision for loan losses was $58.0 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2009, compared to $44.4 million for the three
months ended December 31, 2008, and $9.0 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2008. Net charge-offs for the three months
ended March 31, 2009, totaled $59.5 million, compared to $39.2
million and $3.0 million for the three months ended December 31,
2008 and March 31, 2008, respectively.
Despite these challenging times, the Board of Directors and
management continue to take important steps to strengthen the
Corporation. Management has been diligently working to reduce the
concentration in real estate construction and land development
loans, and on a linked quarter basis, successfully reduced these
portfolios by $147.4 million, or 9.6%. In addition, undisbursed
loan commitments related to these portfolios decreased $75.0
million, or 41.9%, for the same period resulting in a reduction of
total commitments for real estate construction and land development
of $222.4 million in the quarter. At March 31, 2009, deposits
totaled $3.35 billion, an increase of $78.5 million, or 2.4%,
compared to December 31, 2008.
As part of our ongoing strategy to reduce noninterest expense,
the Board of Directors voted to suspend the Corporation's matching
of employee 401(k) plan contributions, effective May 1, 2009. This
cost saving measure is expected to reduce noninterest expense by
approximately $1.7 million annually.
Patrick M. Fahey, Chairman and CEO of Frontier Financial
Corporation, said, "While the economy in general and the housing
market in particular remain our primary issue, we are seeing
increasing signs of improvement. There was virtually no activity in
sales of finished homes in other real estate or the portfolio at
the beginning of the quarter. Purchase and sale agreements and
closed sales have been slowly gaining momentum with some new
activity daily. While it will still take time and continued
improvement, we are pleased to see encouraging signs.
"We have continued an aggressive approach to recognition of
problem loans, and have been even more conservative this quarter by
charging off the specific reserves in the allowance, with the added
benefit of an income tax deduction and an enhancement of total risk
weighted capital."
As previously announced, on March 20, 2009, Frontier Bank
("Bank"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Frontier Financial
Corporation, entered into a Stipulation and Consent to the Issuance
of an Order to Cease and Desist ("Consent Agreement") with the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") and the Washington
Department of Financial Institutions ("DFI") resulting from a June
30, 2008 examination. The Corporation and the Bank are actively
engaged in responding to the concerns raised in the FDIC order, and
we believe we have already addressed many of the regulators'
requirements.
Liquidity
We continue to closely monitor and manage our liquidity
position, understanding that this is of critical importance in the
current economic environment. Attracting and retaining customer
deposits remains our primary source of liquidity. Total deposits
increased $78.5 million on a linked quarter basis and $190.5
million year-over-year.
In an effort to increase on-balance sheet liquidity, we have
focused on reducing our balance sheet, in particular, the real
estate loan portfolio. For the first quarter of 2009, total loans
decreased $119.2 million, compared to the fourth quarter of 2008,
and $57.4 million compared to the first quarter of 2008.
Additionally, we have increased our federal funds sold balances on
a linked quarter and year-over-year basis.
Capital
Management constantly monitors the level of capital,
considering, among other things, our present and anticipated needs,
current market conditions and other relevant factors, which may
necessitate changes in the level of capital. We are currently
taking steps to strengthen our capital position. We continue to
look at adding capital through a private equity investment and have
engaged an investment banking firm to help facilitate this process.
At March 31, 2009, our total risk-based capital and Tier 1 leverage
capital ratios were 10.4% and 7.6%, respectively, and continue to
be above the established minimum regulatory capital levels. Our
tangible common equity ratio was 7.7% at March 31, 2009.
Review of Financial Condition
Loans
At March 31, 2009, total loans, including loans held for resale,
were $3.66 billion, compared to $3.78 billion at December 31, 2008,
and $3.72 billion at March 31, 2008.
The quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year decreases in total
loans is attributable to decreases in new loan originations, loan
pay downs and increased loan charge-offs. With few exceptions, we
have suspended the origination of new real estate construction,
land development and completed lot loans. New loan originations for
the first quarter of 2009 totaled $23.3 million, compared to $74.2
million for the fourth quarter 2008, and $287.1 million for the
first quarter of 2008.
Management continues to recognize loan quality deterioration on
a timely basis and aggressively address work out strategies. Net
charge-offs totaled $59.5 million for the three months ended March
31, 2009, compared to $39.2 million for the three months ended
December 31, 2008, and $3.0 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2008. Due to the increased net charge-offs, the
Corporation has adjusted its income tax provision to claim these
losses as current tax deductions.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The total allowance for loan losses was $111.5 million, or
3.05%, of total loans outstanding at March 31, 2009, compared to
$112.6 million, or 2.98%, at December 31, 2008, and $60.3 million,
or 1.62%, at March 31, 2008. The allowance for loan losses,
including the reclassified allocation for undisbursed loans of $1.6
million, would amount to a total allowance of $113.1 million, or
3.09%, of total loans outstanding at March 31, 2009.

Results of Operations
Net interest income
Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2009,
was $23.8 million, compared to $33.9 million for the three months
ended December 31, 2008, and $47.4 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2008.
On a linked quarter basis, net interest income decreased $10.1
million, or 29.8%. The decrease in net interest income is primarily
attributable to the reversal of $6.3 million of accrued interest
income on loans placed on nonaccrual status during the quarter and
the $94.2 million, or 2.5%, decrease in average loans outstanding.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2009, the average yield on loans
was 5.38%, down 80 basis points from 6.18% for the quarter ended
December 31, 2008.
For the three months ended March 31, 2009, net interest income
decreased $23.6 million, or 49.9%, compared to the same period a
year ago. Average outstanding balances decreased net interest
income by $2.7 million and changes in interest rates decreased net
interest income by $20.9 million. For the first quarter of 2009,
average earning assets increased $355.9 million, or 9.3%, and
average interest bearing liabilities increased $363.6 million, or
11.6%, compared to the first quarter of 2008. The average quarterly
yield on earning assets decreased 327 basis points to 4.95% for the
first quarter 2009, compared to 8.22% for the first quarter 2008.
The average cost on total interest bearing liabilities decreased 77
basis points to 3.10% for the first quarter 2009, compared to 3.87%
for the first quarter 2008.
Also contributing to the decrease in net interest income for the
quarter and year, was the change in mix of earning assets. For the
first quarter of 2009, federal funds sold accounted for 7.5% of
total earning assets, compared to 1.1% for the linked quarter and
0.3% for the prior year. Typically, federal funds sold are a lower
earning asset and currently yield a rate of 0.25%. As previously
mentioned, federal funds sold balances increased on a linked
quarter and year-over-year basis to improve liquidity and were
funded by growth in time deposits.
The annualized tax equivalent net interest margin was 2.31% for
the quarter ended March 31, 2009, compared to 3.42% for the quarter
ended December 31, 2008, and 5.01% for the quarter ended March 31,
2008. For the quarter ended March 31, 2009, the reversal of $6.3
million of interest accruals lowered the tax equivalent net
interest margin by approximately 61 basis points. The remainder of
the decrease in net interest margin, on a linked quarter basis, can
be attributed to lower loan fees as a result of reduced loan
originations, a reduction of average outstanding loan balances and
a change in the mix of the balance sheet.
The year-over-year 270 basis point decrease in the tax
equivalent net interest margin can be attributed to the decreases
in interest rates by the Federal Reserve, and the resulting
repricing of variable rate loans at lower rates. At March 31, 2009,
the Federal Funds rate was 0.25%, down 200 basis points from 2.25%
at March 31, 2008. In addition, loan originations decreased 91.9%
from the first quarter of 2008 to the first quarter of 2009,
resulting in lower loan fees.
Noninterest income
For the three months ended March 31, 2009, noninterest income
totaled $4.3 million, compared to $7.5 million for the three months
ended December 31, 2008, and $6.3 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2008.
On a linked quarter basis, noninterest income decreased $3.2
million, or 42.4%. Excluding nonrecurring items for both periods,
such as the gain on sale of securities and the gain on sale of
consumer credit cards, which is included in other noninterest
income, total noninterest income actually increased $301 thousand,
or 7.8%. For the quarter, gain on sale of secondary mortgage loans
increased $337 thousand, or 136.4%, and service charges increased
$155 thousand, or 12.0%.
During the fourth quarter 2008, we sold our interest in
Washington Banking Company for a pre-tax gain of $2.5 million and
certain agency securities for a pre-tax gain of $532 thousand.
During the first quarter of 2009, we sold two securities for a
nominal pre-tax gain of $47 thousand. Additionally, in the fourth
quarter of 2008, we recognized a $506 thousand gain related to the
sale of our consumer credit card portfolio to TCM Bank. Related to
this initial sale, an additional premium of $107 thousand was paid
and recognized during the first quarter of 2009. No additional
consumer credit cards, however, were sold during the first quarter
of 2009.
Noninterest income decreased $2.0 million, or 31.4%, for the
three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to the same period a
year ago. During the first quarter of 2009, we recognized a nominal
pre-tax gain of $47 thousand on the sale of two securities. In
comparison, we recognized a pre-tax gain of $2.0 million on the
sale of our interest in Skagit State Bank and a one-time pre-tax
gain of $274 thousand related to the required liquidation of our
stake in Visa, Inc., during the first quarter of 2008. Excluding
the gain on sale of securities for both periods, noninterest income
increased $296 thousand, or 7.4%, as a result of an increase in the
gain on sale of secondary mortgage loans and an increase in service
charges.
Noninterest expense
Noninterest expense totaled $23.3 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2009, compared to $94.9 million for the three
months ended December 31, 2008, and $21.5 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2008.
During the fourth quarter 2008, we recognized a $77.1 million
non-cash charge related to the full impairment of goodwill. In
addition, during the same quarter, we had a reversal of bonus and
profit sharing accruals of $2.9 million. Excluding this non-cash
impairment charge for goodwill and the reversal of bonus and profit
sharing accrual, noninterest expense increased $2.5 million, or
14.2%, for the first quarter of 2009 compared to the linked
quarter.
On a linked quarter basis, salaries and employee benefits
increased $3.0 million, or 32.2%. Excluding the fourth quarter
reversal of the bonus and profit sharing contribution, salaries and
employee benefits remained relatively flat. For the most part, we
have placed a moratorium on the hiring of new employees, and
therefore, do not expect any significant increases in salaries and
employee benefits for 2009. At March 31, 2009, full-time
equivalents totaled 781, compared to 799 at December 31, 2008, and
824 at March 31, 2008. Additionally, the decrease in loan
originations and deferred loan costs, increased salaries and
employee benefits by $1.0 million for the period.
Other noninterest expense totaled $7.7 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2009, compared to $5.7 million for the three
months ended December 31, 2008, an increase of $2.0 million, or
35.5%. The most significant increase related to increases in FDIC
insurance assessments which totaled $2.5 million. For the period,
we were also assessed an additional $363 thousand from the Public
Deposit Protection Commission for Frontier Bank's share of
uninsured public funds as a result of the fourth quarter 2008
failure of the Bank of Clark County located in Vancouver,
Washington. Additionally, foreclosure expense increased $178
thousand and collection expense increased $86 thousand, which
directly corresponds to the increase in nonperforming assets over
the period. Other noninterest expense, excluding the additional
FDIC assessments of $2.9 million, actually decreased $899 thousand,
or 15.8%, for the period as a result of our continued efforts to
decrease costs.
Total noninterest expense increased $1.8 million, or 8.1%, for
the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to the three months
ended March 31, 2008. For the same period, salaries and employee
benefits decreased $1.6 million, or 11.2%, while other noninterest
expense increased $3.3 million, or 74.7%. The decrease in salary
and employee benefits is primarily attributable to the elimination
of bonus and incentive pay, a reduction in executive compensation,
salary freezes and a moratorium on hiring. The increases in other
noninterest expense is attributable to the increases in FDIC
insurance premiums of $2.9 million, collection expense of $280
thousand and foreclosure expense of $395 thousand for the period.
Excluding the $2.9 million in additional FDIC insurance premiums,
total noninterest expense decreased $1.2 million year-over-year, as
a result of our cost reduction measures that commenced in the third
quarter of 2008.
Certain amounts in prior years' financial statements have been
reclassified to conform to the 2008 presentation. These
