United Community Banks, Inc. Reports Net Operating Loss for First Quarter 2010
BLAIRSVILLE, GA, Apr 22, 2010 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX News Network) -- United Community Banks, Inc. (NASDAQ: UCBI)
-- Non-performing assets of $417 million at quarter-end, but $317 million after transaction with private equity firm in April -- Provision for loan losses of $75 million, charge-offs of $56.7 million -- Allowance-to-loans ratio of 3.48 percent, up from 3.02 percent in previous quarter -- Margin improves to 3.49 percent, up 41 basis points from one year ago -- Sold consulting services business -- Capital ratios remain strong
United Community Banks, Inc. (NASDAQ: UCBI) today reported a net operating loss from continuing operations of $34.5 million, or 39 cents per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2010.
"The first quarter was difficult in terms of credit, as we had anticipated," stated Jimmy Tallent, president and chief executive officer. "We were not able to dispose of foreclosed properties at the same pace as in previous quarters, in large part due to the harshest winter weather our markets have seen in many years. However, our sale of $100 million in illiquid non-performing assets by the end of April will prove to be beneficial. The sale, which includes approximately $72 million of non-performing loans and $28 million of foreclosed properties, shows our determination to find innovative ways to move through this credit cycle and into recovery more quickly."
Total loans were $5.0 billion at quarter-end, down $159 million from the end of the fourth quarter and $641 million from a year earlier. As of March 31, 2010, residential construction loans were $960 million, or 19 percent of total loans, down $90 million for the quarter and down $470 million from a year ago. New lending during the quarter of $57 million, primarily commercial loans in metropolitan Atlanta, offset some of this decline. Annualized loan growth of 4 percent is consistent with that of 2009.
Taxable equivalent net interest revenue of $61.3 million for the first quarter reflected an increase of $3.9 million compared to the first quarter of 2009. The taxable equivalent net interest margin was 3.49 percent, up 41 basis points from a year ago and up 9 basis points from the fourth quarter of 2009. "Our ongoing strategies of building margin while maintaining liquidity are continuing to be effective," Tallent said.
"We had our fifth consecutive quarter of core transaction deposit growth, with an increase of $53 million from the prior quarter or 9 percent on an annualized basis," Tallent continued. "We believe much of this growth is related to disruption in the banking industry, and the favorable perception of United as a strong bank with strong service. We are emphasizing these positive attributes in our marketing programs."
The first quarter 2010 provision for loan losses decreased to $75 million from $90 million in the fourth quarter of 2009. Net charge-offs also decreased, to $56.7 million, compared to $84.6 million in the fourth quarter. Non-performing assets increased to $417 million at quarter-end from $385 million at year-end. The ratio of non-performing assets to total assets at the end of the first quarter of 2010 and fourth quarter of 2009 was 5.32 percent and 4.81 percent, respectively. Including the planned sale of $100 million of non-performing assets, the pro forma quarter-end ratio of non-performing assets to total assets is 4.05 percent.
"The sale of these non-performing assets, which we announced on April 1, is a very unique and positive transaction for United and its shareholders," stated Tallent. "It eliminates $100 million of our more illiquid non-performing assets while avoiding any additional charge-offs and credit costs associated with them. This is particularly attractive due to the lack of investor interest we have seen in larger tracts of land outside of our metro Atlanta markets. The transaction reduces non-performing assets by about 25 percent while attaining their highest current economic value and preserving our capital position. This transaction will help us move through the credit cycle and into recovery sooner."
Operating fee revenue, all periods presented, excludes consulting services revenue because United's consulting services subsidiary, Brintech, was sold on March 31. "Brintech has been part of United Community Banks for 10 years," Tallent said. "At this time our focus is best placed on returning the company to profitability through our core businesses. Consulting requires scale to grow, and we found an acquirer that is a good fit and allows most of Brintech's employees to continue in their roles."
The results of United's operations for all periods presented in the attached schedules have been restated to show earnings from continuing operations, which excludes Brintech's fee revenue and operating expenses. Also, the net income or loss from the discontinued operations is reported as a separate line in the income statement.
Operating fee revenue for United was $11.7 million for the first quarter of 2010, compared to $11.8 million a year ago. Service charges and fees of $7.4 million were up $413,000, due primarily to new accounts and more ATM and debit card transactions. Mortgage loan fees were down $1.2 million, to $1.5 million, due to lower refinancing activity. Other fee revenue increased $1.0 million to $2.1 million, due primarily to the ineffectiveness of cash flow hedges on a certain portion of the company's prime-based loans that resulted in an acceleration of $520,000 of deferred gains and higher earnings of $320,000 on bank-owned life insurance assets.
Due to higher foreclosed property costs, operating expenses increased by $3.0 million, from $51.8 million in the first quarter of 2009 to $54.8 million in the first quarter of 2010. Operating expenses for the first quarter of 2009, as noted in the financial highlights, exclude a $70 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge and $2.9 million in severance costs. Foreclosed property costs for the first quarter of 2010 were $10.8 million as compared to $4.3 million in the first quarter of 2009 and $14.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2009. Foreclosed property costs in the first quarter included $2.7 million for maintenance, property taxes and other related costs. In addition, write-downs relating to the sale of properties totaled $3.5 million and write-downs to help expedite future sales of other foreclosed properties totaled $4.6 million. Salary and benefit costs totaled $24.4 million, a decrease of $3.0 million from last year due primarily to the 10 percent reduction in workforce implemented at the end of the first quarter of 2009.
The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2010 was 40 percent, compared to 45 percent in the fourth quarter of 2009 and 14 percent in the first quarter of 2009. The fourth quarter 2009 tax benefit included the favorable settlement of a several-year state tax audit dispute for which the company was fully reserved due to the uncertainty of the tax position. The first quarter 2009 effective rate was lower due to the goodwill impairment charge which was not a taxable event and therefore did not result in the recognition of a tax benefit. The effective tax rate for 2010 is expected to be 40 percent, slightly higher than the effective tax rate for the full year 2009.
As of March 31, 2010, United Community Banks' regulatory capital ratios were as follows: Tier I Risk-Based Capital of 11.7 percent; Leverage of 8.1 percent; and Total Risk-Based Capital of 14.4 percent. The quarterly average Tangible Equity-to-Assets Ratio was 9.4 percent and the Tangible Common Equity-to-Assets Ratio was 7.1 percent.
"The quarter was eventful and productive, and one that I would like to think sets the tone for the balance of 2010," concluded Tallent. "Moving $100 million of non-performing assets out of the bank doesn't put all of our challenges behind us, but it is a significant milestone and a giant leap in the right direction. We have said for some time now that we would not rest until United returns to its accustomed profitability. That commitment continues and, while we aren't there yet, we have made significant progress."
