Third Quarter 2013 Net Loss Available to Common Shareholders of $168,000

Porter Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: PBIB), parent company of PBI Bank, with 18 full-service banking offices in Kentucky, today reported unaudited results for the third quarter of 2013.

The Company reported that the net loss attributable to common shareholders declined substantially to $168,000, or ($0.01) per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2013 compared with a net loss of $26.9 million, or ($2.29) per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2012. Net loss attributable to common shareholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $2.4 million, or ($0.20) per diluted common share, compared with net loss attributable to common shareholders of $26.4 million, or ($2.25) per diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The significant reduction in net loss since last year reflected our focus on asset quality remediation, regulatory capital restoration, and lowering the risk profile of the Company.

Third Quarter 2013 Financial Performance Highlights

  • Balance Sheet Reduction - We have successfully reduced the size of our balance sheet in accordance with our capital plan. Average assets were $1.056 billion in the third quarter of 2013 compared with $1.105 billion in the second quarter of 2013 and $1.326 billion in the third quarter of 2012. This reduction was accomplished primarily by reducing our commercial real estate and construction and development loans within our loan portfolio and through the redemption of higher cost certificates of deposit accounts.
  • Net Interest Income – Net interest income declined to $7.8 million for the third quarter of 2013 compared with $8.4 million in the second quarter of 2013 and $10.1 million in the third quarter of 2012 as our average loans declined to $756.1 million for the third quarter of 2013 compared with $806.9 million in the second quarter of 2013 and $1.008 billion in the third quarter of 2012. Our net interest margin declined to 3.14% in the third quarter of 2013 compared with 3.24% in the second quarter of 2013 and 3.23% in the third quarter of 2012.
  • Non-interest Income – Non-interest income decreased $981,000 to $1.2 million in the third quarter of 2013 compared with $2.1 million in the second quarter of 2013 and decreased $554,000 compared with $1.7 million in the third quarter of 2012. The quarter over quarter decline from June 2013 to September 2013 is attributable primarily to a $679,000 reduction in the gain on sales of securities, a $230,000 reduction in income from bank owned life insurance and a $176,000 decline in other real estate owned income.
  • Provision for Loan Losses - Provision for loan losses expense declined to $250,000 for the third quarter of 2013 and $700,000 for the first nine months of 2013 compared with $25.5 million for the third quarter of 2012 and $33.3 million for the first nine months of 2012. The significant reduction in provision for loan losses is being driven by the substantial shrinkage of the loan portfolio, declining historical loss rates, and a reduction in loans migrating downward in risk grade classification. Our reserve for loans evaluated collectively for impairment was 4.66% at September 30, 2013, compared with 4.56% at June 30, 2013 and 5.06% at September 30, 2012.
  • Non-performing Assets - Non-performing assets, which include loans past due 90 days and still accruing, loans on nonaccrual, and other real estate owned, decreased on a dollar level basis to $148.8 million, or 14.33% of total assets at September 30, 2013, compared with $159.3 million, or 14.86% of total assets, at June 30, 2013. Non-performing loans and other real estate owned still remain at higher than normal levels and continue to impact negatively the Bank’s earnings performance.

Non-performing loans decreased to $106.9 million, or 14.56% of total loans, at September 30, 2013, compared with $112.3 million, or 14.49% of total loans, at June 30, 2013. However, net charge-offs increased from $2.3 million in the second quarter of 2013 to $6.1 million in the third quarter of 2013. Net charge-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 decreased to $25.6 million from $31.8 million for the same period in 2012.

Total past due and nonaccrual loans increased approximately $687,000 to $124.5 million at September 30, 2013 from $123.8 million at June 30, 2013.

Foreclosed properties at September 30, 2013 decreased to $41.9 million compared with $47.0 million at June 30, 2013, and $48.8 million at September 30, 2012. The Company acquired $3.0 million in other real estate owned and sold $8.0 million in other real estate owned during the third quarter of 2013. Fair value write-downs arising from new appraisals or lower marketing prices totaled $300,000 in the third quarter of 2013 compared with $4.3 million in the third quarter of 2012 and $977,000 in the second quarter of 2013.

  • Non-interest Expense – Non-interest expense decreased $3.3 million to $8.5 million for the third quarter of 2013 compared with $11.8 million for the second quarter of 2013 and decreased $5.7 million compared with $14.2 million for the third quarter of 2012. The significant reduction in non-interest expense was attributable primarily to lower loan collection expenses and lower other real estate owned expenses.
  • Capital – Our net loss available to common shareholders of $168,000 for the third quarter of 2013 was much improved compared to our net loss available to common shareholders of $1.7 million in the second quarter of 2013. In connection with the recent rise in long-term interest rates, our stockholders’ equity was negatively impacted from June 30, 2013 to September 30, 2013 by an increase in the net unrealized loss in our available for sale securities portfolio from $1.1 million at June 30, 2013, to $2.8 million at September 30, 2013.

At September 30, 2013, PBI Bank’s Tier 1 leverage ratio was 6.40% compared with 6.08% at June 30, 2013, and its Total risk-based capital ratio was 11.04% at September 30, 2013 compared with 10.60% at June 30, 2013, which are below the minimums of 9.0% and 12.0% required by the Bank’s Consent Order. At September 30, 2013, Porter Bancorp’s leverage ratio was 5.15% compared with 4.91% at June 30, 2013, and its Total risk-based capital ratio was 10.78% compared with 10.46% at June 30, 2013.

We are continuing our efforts to strengthen our capital levels and comply with the Consent Order. Management and the Board of Directors are evaluating appropriate strategies for increasing the Company’s capital in order to meet the capital requirements of our Consent Order. These include, among other things, a possible public offering or private placement of common stock to new and existing shareholders. As previously announced, we have engaged a financial advisor to assist our Board in this evaluation.
