Frontier Financial Corporation (NASDAQ: FTBK) today announced results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009. For the three months ended June 30, 2009, the Corporation reported a net loss of $50.0 million, or ($1.06) per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $33.8 million, or ($0.72) per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2009, and net income of $2.1 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2008. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Corporation reported a net loss of $83.8 million, or ($1.78) per diluted share, compared to net income of $17.6 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, for the same period a year ago.

The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, reflect continued pressure from an uncertain economy and the negative impact on the local housing market. The ratio of nonperforming assets has increased to 20.53% of total assets at June 30, 2009, up from 16.25% at March 31, 2009, and 2.97% a year ago. Because of this continued pressure, the provision for loan losses was $77.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $58.0 million and $24.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2008, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the provision for loan losses totaled $135.0 million, compared to $33.5 million for the same period in 2008. Net charge-offs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, totaled $90.2 million and $149.8 million, respectively, compared to $6.5 million and $9.5 million, respectively, for the same periods a year ago.

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 has successfully reduced these portfolios by $916.0 million, or 37.1%, from June 30, 2008 to June 30, 2009, including undisbursed loan commitments, as defined by the FDIC.

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. This is in addition to other previously announced expense reduction measures; including reductions to executive compensation, salary freezes and the elimination of performance bonuses and discretionary profit sharing contributions to the 401(K) Plan for the year ended December 31, 2008.

On June 11, 2009, we announced a workforce reduction of approximately six percent of the workforce, effective immediately. The action was taken as the result of an ongoing review of Bank operations to identify ways to operate more efficiently and continue to adjust the Bank's structure to reflect current economic conditions. The reductions occurred at all levels and in all parts of the Corporation. The departing employees received severance pay based on their years of service. This reduction resulted in a $360 thousand pre-tax charge in the second quarter of 2009 and is expected to provide an annual pre-tax cost savings of approximately $2.5 million.

Subsequent to June 30, 2009, the decision was made to close our downtown Poulsbo branch as a result of our continuing efforts to reduce noninterest expense. We currently have another Poulsbo branch that is within 0.8 miles of the branch being closed, and therefore, we do not expect our customers to be adversely affected by the closure. This branch closure had no material effect on our consolidated financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2009.

Patrick M. Fahey, Chairman and CEO of Frontier Financial Corporation, said, "While economic conditions remain difficult, we have made progress in a number of areas as noted in this report. I am pleased with the efforts of our staff to maintain and build customer relationships, to control expenses and resolve problem loans. While we have reduced the concentration in acquisition, construction and development loans significantly from a year ago, this continues to be our primary challenge, despite signs of recovery in the housing markets."

As noted in our March 25, 2009, Form 8-K filing, Frontier Bank ("Bank") entered into a Stipulation and Consent to the Issuance of an Order to Cease and Desist ("FDIC Order") on March 20, 2009 with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") and the Washington Department of Financial Institutions, Division of Banks ("DFI") resulting from a June 30, 2008 examination. In addition, on July 2, 2009, Frontier Financial Corporation entered into an agreement with the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco ("FRB") resulting from the same examination. The Corporation and the Bank have been actively engaged in responding to the concerns raised in the FDIC Order and FRB Agreement, and we believe we have already addressed all of the regulators' requirements, with the exception of increasing Tier 1 capital, in which efforts are currently underway.

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. Noninterest bearing deposits increased $9.4 million, or 2.4%, from December 31, 2008 to June 30, 2009, and $15.6 million, or 4.0%, from a year ago.

In an effort to increase on-balance sheet liquidity, we have been focused on restructuring our balance sheet, and in particular, reducing the loan portfolio. For the first six months of 2009, total loans decreased $362.5 million, or 9.6%, compared to December 31, 2008. Year-over-year, total loans decreased $391.1 million, or 10.3%. Additionally, we have increased our federal funds sold balances to $289.9 million at June 30, 2009, an increase of $172.1 million from December 31, 2008, and $271.6 million from a year ago.

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. Emphasis has also been placed on shifting higher risk weighted assets into lower risk weighted categories for the purpose of calculating capital ratios. At June 30, 2009, our total risk-based capital and Tier 1 leverage capital ratios were 9.42% and 6.74%, respectively, and continue to be above the established minimum regulatory capital levels. Our tangible common equity ratio was 6.74% at June 30, 2009.

Review of Financial Condition

Loans

At June 30, 2009, total loans, including loans held for resale, were $3.42 billion, compared to $3.78 billion at December 31, 2008, and $3.81 billion at June 30, 2008.

The decreases in total loans at June 30, 2009, compared to the year ended 2008 and a year ago, 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 six months of 2009 totaled $77.7 million, compared to $583.7 million for the same period in 2008.

Management continues to recognize loan quality deterioration on a timely basis and aggressively address work out strategies. Net charge-offs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, totaled $90.2 million and $149.8 million, respectively, compared to $6.5 million and $9.5 million, respectively, for the same periods a year ago. 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 $98.6 million, or 2.89%, of total loans outstanding at June 30, 2009, compared to $112.6 million, or 2.98%, at December 31, 2008, and $78.7 million, or 2.07%, at June 30, 2008. The allowance for loan losses, including the reclassified allocation for undisbursed loans of $1.3 million, would amount to a total allowance of $99.9 million, or 2.92%, of total loans outstanding at June 30, 2009.

Results of Operations

Net interest income

Net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2009, was $21.4 million, compared to $23.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, and $44.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008. Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2009, totaled $45.2 million, compared to $92.3 million for the same period a year ago.

Net interest income decreased $2.3 million, or 9.7%, for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared to the linked quarter. For the period, changes in average earning assets and interest bearing liabilities increased net interest income by $347 thousand whereas changes in interest rates decreased net interest income by $2.6 million. For the second quarter of 2009, average earning assets decreased $213.7 million, or 5.1%, and average interest bearing liabilities decreased $175.0 million, or 5.0%. The average quarterly yield on earning assets decreased 29 basis points to 4.66% for the second quarter 2009, compared to 4.95% for the first quarter 2009. The average cost of funds decreased 18 basis points for the same period.

For the three months ended June 30, 2009, net interest income decreased $23.5 million, or 52.2%, compared to the same period a year ago. For the period, changes in average earning assets and interest bearing liabilities decreased net interest income by $5.8 million and changes in interest rates decreased net interest income by $17.7 million. For the quarter ended June 30, 2009, average net earning assets (earning assets less interest bearing liabilities) totaled $631.4 million, compared to $698.4 million a year ago, a decrease of $67.0 million, or 9.6%. The average yield on earning assets was 4.66% for the second quarter 2009, down 282 points from 7.48% for the second quarter 2008. The average cost on interest bearing liabilities was down 52 basis points for the period.

For the six months ended June 30, 2009, net interest income decreased $47.1 million, or 51.0%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008. For the period, average earning assets increased $190.9 million, resulting in an additional $1.7 million of interest income. Average interest bearing liabilities increased $234.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to the same period a year ago, resulting in $10.1 million of additional interest expense. Therefore, changes in average earning assets and interest bearing liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to the same period a year, negatively impacted net interest income by $8.4 million. Changes in interest rates reduced net interest income by $38.7 million for the same period. Year-over-year, the average yield on earning assets and average cost of funds decreased 303 basis points and 64 basis points, respectively.

The annualized tax equivalent net interest margin was 2.21% for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared to 4.63% for the three months ended June 30, 2008, a decrease of 242 basis points. For the three months ended June 30, 2009, the reversal of $5.4 million of interest accruals lowered the tax equivalent net interest margin by approximately 55 basis points. The remainder of the decrease in net interest margin can be attributed to the increase in total nonaccruing loans, lower loan fees as a result of reduced loan originations and a reduction of average outstanding loan balances.

The annualized tax equivalent net interest margin was 2.26% for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to 4.82% for the six months ended June 30, 2008, a decrease of 256 basis points. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the reversal of $11.7 million of interest income on nonaccrual loans lowered the tax equivalent net interest margin by approximately 58 basis points. The year-over-year decrease in the tax equivalent net interest margin can also be attributed to the increase in total nonaccruing loans, as well as, decreases in interest rates by the Federal Reserve, and the resulting repricing of variable rate loans at lower rates. At June 30, 2009, the Federal Funds rate was 0.25%, down 175 basis points from 2.00% at June 30, 2008. In addition, loan originations for the six months ended June 30, 2009 decreased 86.7%, compared to the same period a year ago, resulting in lower loan fees.

Also contributing to the decrease in the annualized tax equivalent net interest margin for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to the same periods in 2008, was the change in mix of earning assets. As previously mentioned, in an effort to increase on-balance sheet liquidity, we have increased federal funds sold balances. For the second quarter of 2009, average federal funds sold accounted for approximately 6.1% of total earning assets, compared to 0.05% for the second quarter of 2008. For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, average federal funds sold accounted for approximately 6.8% and 0.2% of total earning assets, respectively. Typically, federal funds sold are a lower earning asset and currently yield a rate of 0.25%.

Noninterest income

For the three months ended June 30, 2009, noninterest income totaled $3.6 million, compared to $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, and $4.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, noninterest income totaled $7.9 million, compared to $10.5 million for the same period a year ago.

Noninterest income decreased $732 thousand, or 16.9%, for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared to the linked quarter, and $608 thousand, or 14.5%, compared to the same period a year ago. For both periods, the decrease in noninterest income is primarily attributable to the net loss on other real estate owned and the decrease in other noninterest income. During the second quarter 2009, we recognized a net loss of $451 thousand related to other real estate owned, as the result of a $3.8 million valuation adjustment, partially offset by a $3.3 million gain on sale of other real estate owned. The valuation adjustment was the result of declines in the market value of these properties subsequent to foreclosure. The linked quarter and year-over-year decreases in other noninterest income are primarily attributable to decreases in insurance and financial service fees and annuity commissions generated by our Trust department.

For the six months ended June 30, 2009, noninterest income decreased $2.6 million, or 24.7%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008. The decrease in noninterest income for the period is primarily attributable to the $2.6 million decrease in gain (loss) on sale of securities. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, we recognized a $102 thousand loss on sale of securities, compared to a $2.5 million gain on sale of securities for the six months ended June 30, 2008. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, we sold our stock in Skagit State Bank for a gain of $2.0 million and recorded a one-time gain of $274 thousand related to the required liquidation of a portion of our stake of VISA, Inc., which went public in March 2008.

Noninterest expense

For the three months ended June 30, 2009, total noninterest expense was $25.4 million, compared to $23.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, and $21.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, total noninterest expense was $48.7 million, compared to $43.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008.

For the three months ended June 30, 2009, noninterest expense increased $2.1 million, or 9.0%, compared to the linked quarter. Other noninterest expense totaled $10.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $7.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, an increase of $2.6 million, or 33.1%. The most significant increase related to the $1.9 million special FDIC insurance assessment to be paid in the third quarter of 2009. In addition, foreclosure expense increased $387 thousand, collection expense increased $337 thousand and legal fees increased $159 thousand. The increases in these expenses are directly related to the increase in nonperforming assets during the period.

For the three months ended June 30, 2009, noninterest expense increased $3.9 million, or 17.9%, compared to the same period a year ago. For the same period, other noninterest expense increased $4.9 million, or 91.5%. The increase in other noninterest expense for the period was primarily attributable to the $4.8 million increase in FDIC insurance assessments and the one-time 5 basis point special assessment to be paid in the third quarter of 2009.

For the six months ended June 30, 2009, noninterest expense increased $5.6 million, or 13.0%. For the period, salaries and employee benefits decreased $1.9 million, or 7.3%, primarily as the result of the elimination of bonus and incentive pay, a reduction in executive compensation, a moratorium on hiring and a reduction in force. At June 30, 2009, full time equivalents ("FTE") employees totaled 714, down from 813 at June 30, 2008. In addition, the Board of Directors voted to suspend the Corporation's matching of employee 401(K) Plan contributions, effective May 1, 2009.

The increase in other noninterest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2009, over the same period in 2008, is primarily attributable to an increase in FDIC insurance assessments and the one-time special assessment of 5 basis points to be paid in the third quarter of 2009.
