United Community Banks, Inc. Reports Net Operating Loss for Second Quarter 2010
BLAIRSVILLE, GA, Jul 23, 2010 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX News Network) -- United Community Banks, Inc. (NASDAQ: UCBI)
-- Completed sale of $103 million of nonperforming assets that resulted in a non-cash charge of $45.3 million -- Nonperforming assets decline 17 percent from last quarter -- Provision for loan losses was $61.5 million, down $13.5 million from last quarter -- Allowance-to-loans ratio increases to 3.57 percent -- Margin improves 11 basis points to 3.60 percent
United Community Banks, Inc. (NASDAQ: UCBI) today reported a net operating loss from continuing operations of $59.5 million, or 66 cents per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2010. The second quarter operating loss included a non-cash charge of $45.3 million, or $30.0 million after-tax, resulting from the transaction with Fletcher International ("Fletcher") to dispose of nonperforming assets. The charge increased the net loss for the quarter by 32 cents per diluted share.
United's net operating losses from continuing operations for the first six months of 2010 and 2009 were $94.0 million, or $1.05 per diluted share, and $55.3 million, or $1.24 per diluted share, respectively. In the attached schedules, the results of operations for all periods presented have been restated to show earnings from continuing operations, which excludes Brintech's fee revenue and operating expenses during the periods it was owned by United and the gain from the sale. The net income or loss from Brintech's discontinued operations is reported as a separate line in the consolidated statement of income. Also, the net operating loss from continuing operations for the first six months of 2009 excludes a $70 million non-cash charge for impairment of goodwill and $1.8 million in severance costs, net of taxes, relating to a reduction in work force, both of which were incurred during the first quarter and the $7.1 million gain, net of taxes, on the acquisition of Southern Community Bank in the second quarter. These charges and gains were considered non-recurring items and therefore were excluded from operating earnings. Including these non-recurring items, United's net loss for the first six months of 2010 and 2009 was $92.8 million, or $1.04 per diluted share, and $119.8 million, or $2.57 per diluted share, respectively.
"We made steady progress during the second quarter," stated Jimmy Tallent, president and chief executive officer. "We completed the sale of $103 million of our most illiquid non-performing loans and foreclosed properties with the granting of a warrant and an option to purchase capital. This transaction was a giant step forward in clearing our books of the more difficult problem assets while at the same time preserving capital. We still see credit challenges ahead of us and elevated levels of charge-offs through the balance of 2010. We are pursuing every opportunity to resolve them in the best interests of our shareholders and return to profitability in early 2011."
Total loans were $4.9 billion at quarter-end, down $119 million from the end of the first quarter and $640 million from a year earlier. As of quarter-end, residential construction loans were $820 million, or 17 percent of total loans, down $140 million from the prior quarter-end and down $495 million from a year ago. This decline was net of new lending during the quarter that totaled $101 million, primarily commercial and small business loans in metropolitan Atlanta and north Georgia.
Taxable equivalent net interest revenue of $61.6 million was $745,000 higher than the second quarter of 2009. The net interest margin was 3.60 percent for the second quarter 2010, up 32 basis points from a year ago and up 11 basis points from the first quarter. "By staying focused on deposit and loan pricing, we've been able to steadily increase our net interest margin and hold net interest revenue above $60 million despite continuing attrition in the loan portfolio," Tallent said.
"We had our sixth consecutive quarter of core transaction deposit growth, with an increase of $94 million from the first quarter, or 16 percent, on an annualized basis," Tallent continued. "That compares to core deposit growth of $53 million for the first quarter of 2010 and $224 million from a year ago. We believe 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, which are always valuable and especially so during difficult times in our industry. We believe this message is being heard and responded to with our successful core deposit program."
The second quarter 2010 provision for loan losses decreased to $61.5 million from $75 million in the first quarter. Net charge-offs were up $4.7 million from first quarter 2010 and $3.0 million from the second quarter of 2009. Non-performing assets decreased to $348 million at quarter-end from $417 million at March 31, 2010, the lowest level since the first quarter of 2009. The ratios of non-performing assets to total assets at the end of the second and first quarters of 2010 were 4.55 percent and 5.32 percent, respectively. The decrease in non-performing assets and improvement in the ratio of non-performing assets to total assets reflected the sale of $103 million of nonperforming assets early in the second quarter.
The transaction with Fletcher resulted in an after-tax charge of $30.0 million, or $45.3 million pre-tax, primarily due to the recognition of the value of warrant and the option to purchase convertible preferred stock that were granted as part of the sale of the non-performing assets. United recorded the equity instruments at a fair value of $39.8 million that resulted in an increase to capital surplus within shareholders' equity, which more than offset the $30 million after-tax charge to expenses.
"Even though this transaction resulted in a higher net loss for the quarter, the importance of the strategic objective achieved was very significant," stated Tallent. "We likely would have carried these illiquid nonperforming assets for many quarters and incurred considerable foreclosure and carrying costs."
Operating fee revenue was $11.6 million for the second quarter of 2010, compared to $11.3 million a year ago. Service charges and fees of $8.0 million were up $436,000, due primarily to new accounts and an increase in ATM and debit card transactions. Mortgage loan fees of $1.6 million were down $1.2 million due to lower refinancing activities. Other fee revenue increased $262,000 to $1.4 million, due primarily to the gain recognized on ineffectiveness of terminated cash flow hedges on a certain portion of United's prime-based loans.
Second quarter operating expenses of $58.3 million, excluding the $45.3 million charge for the sale the non-performing assets, increased $4.6 million compared to last year. Foreclosed property costs more than doubled to $14.5 million compared to $5.7 million in the second quarter of 2009. Foreclosed property costs in the second quarter of 2010 included $3.3 million for maintenance, property taxes and other related costs, compared to $2.5 million last year. In addition, write-downs relating to the sale of properties totaled $5.1 million and write-downs of other foreclosed properties totaled $6.1 million, both to help expedite sales of foreclosed properties. Salary and benefit costs totaled $23.6 million, a decrease of $2.7 million from last year due primarily to the 10 percent reduction in workforce in 2009.
"We continued to focus on reducing expenses, and most controllable costs were flat or down compared to a year ago," commented Tallent. "Last year included the FDIC industry-wide assessment that cost us $3.8 million and a recovery in other expenses of $2.0 million for the reversal of bank owned life insurance surrender charges."
Excluding the tax effect of the charge from the transaction with Fletcher and a $1.3 million increase in the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, the effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2010 was 40 percent, which was consistent with the prior quarter. The effective tax rate for the remainder of 2010 is expected to be 40 percent, slightly higher than the effective tax rate for the full year 2009.
As of June 30, 2010, United's capital ratios were as follows: Tier I Risk Based Capital of 11.1 percent; Leverage of 7.7 percent; and, Total Risk Based Capital of 13.8 percent. The quarterly average tangible equity-to-assets ratio was 9.3 percent and the tangible common equity-to-assets ratio was 6.9 percent.
"We are not where we want to be yet and the economy continues to be stubborn, but we are making important progress," Tallent said. "Aside from the non-cash loss on the sale of nonperforming assets this quarter, our net operating loss from continuing operations has declined for three consecutive quarters. Residential construction loans, where most of the problems have been, have decreased from a high of 35 percent to 17 percent of total loans at quarter end. We have widened our net interest margin by growing core deposits for six consecutive quarters and obtaining more favorable loan and time deposit pricing. All the while, our customer satisfaction scores lead the industry."
