Smithtown Bancorp Announces First Quarter Results
Marketwire
May 02, 2010
SMITHTOWN, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 05/03/10 -- Smithtown Bancorp (NASDAQ: SMTB) today announced a loss of $13.8 million for the first quarter of 2010, or $0.93 per fully diluted share. The loss includes a valuation allowance in the amount of $4.1 million against the Company's deferred tax asset at 3/31/10.
For the first quarter, Bank of Smithtown made provisions for loan losses of $25 million. This figure compares to fourth quarter provisions of $38 million. Net charge offs for the first quarter were $12.3 million, or 0.59% of average loans. Although these net charge offs remain elevated, they were down from the level of net charge offs for the fourth quarter, which was $22.6 million. The allowance for loan losses was $51.2 million at March 31, 2010, or 2.53% of total loans.
The Bank resolved seven problem real estate loans with a total principal amount of $45.1 million during the quarter. In the course of these resolutions, the Bank recovered $39.1 million of principal and charged off $6.0 million, representing a loss rate of approximately 13.3%. These resolutions, however, were more than offset by the movement of some loans previously identified at 12/31/09 as "impaired" into the "nonperforming" category, as well as some new nonperforming loans. Impaired loans, which include all nonperforming loans, were $218.8 million at March 31, 2010, compared to $212.5 million at December 31, 2009. Nonperforming loans ended the quarter at $203.6 million, or 10.05% of total loans and loans 30-89 days past due totaled $52.9 million, or 2.61% of total loans. At December 31, 2009, nonperforming loans were $130.2 million, or 6.23%, of total loans and loans 30-89 days past due were $20.8 million, or .99% of total loans. Total loans (including loans held for sale) at March 31st were $2.041 billion, a decrease of $65.9 million from the previous year-end. More detailed information about the Bank's asset quality and nonperforming loans can be found on the investor page of the Bank's website at www.bankofsmithtown.com.
One of the primary focuses for the Bank to date in 2010 has been to meet the requirements of the Consent Agreement. The Bank submitted to the FDIC and New York State Banking Department a revised lending policy, a revised independent loan review policy and program, a plan for systematically reducing and monitoring its CRE loan concentration, a plan to reduce assets classified by the regulators as "Doubtful" and "Substandard," and a comprehensive budget.
Plans to meet the capital requirements of the Consent Agreement so far this year have focused upon shrinking the balance sheet, which the Bank has been able to do as assets at March 31 were $2.43 billion, down 7% from $2.63 billion at year-end 2009. As previously stated, loans were decreased by $65.9 million during the first quarter. On the liability side of the balance sheet, deposits were decreased by $202.4 million, including $126.0 million of certificates of deposit. Our efforts (through pricing and other means) to retain multiple service customers and let go single service CD customers have been successful. Sixty-six percent (66%) of retained CDs belonged to multiple service customers. We have maintained our usual high percentage of core deposits as a percentage of total deposits, which increased slightly to 76.2%. In the 10 new branches opened during 2009, 73% of the new money brought in during the first quarter was from multiple service customers, and 65% of those customers have a low cost checking account. Furthermore, as a result of these strategies and shifts in market interest rates, the weighted average rate on renewing certificates of deposits was reduced by 160 basis points. Finally, with respect to efforts to shrink the balance sheet, as deposit reductions outpaced loan decreases, investment securities were reduced by $176.9 million.
At March 31, 2010, the Company's Tier 1 Leverage capital ratio was 6.00%, Tier 1 Capital to Total Assets was 6.19%, Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital ratio was 7.90% and the Total Risk-Based Capital ratio was 10.06%. The Bank's Tier 1 Leverage ratio was 5.90%, Tier 1 Capital to Total Assets was 6.08%, Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital ratio was 7.86% and the Total Risk-Based Capital ratio was 10.06%. All of these capital ratios are below the targets set forth in the Consent Agreement.
Commenting upon the first quarter results, the Company's Chairman & Chief Executive Officer, Brad Rock, said: "While we are pleased that we were able to resolve $45 million of problem credits at a 13% loss rate and that provisions and charge offs were reduced, we are disappointed that nonperformers nonetheless increased and that we had a loss for the quarter.
"It appears that although a case by case resolution of problem credits brings the best price for each loan, it is also a slow process that, when combined with migration of new loans to the nonperforming category, may not allow us to reach our capital requirements as quickly as we had hoped.
"Should the Bank be unable to meet the required ratios by the end of the second quarter of 2010, the consent agreement requires immediate notification to the FDIC and Banking Department and provides a 60-day cure period to either meet the ratios or to submit a written plan describing the primary means and timing by which the Bank shall meet or exceed the minimum requirements, as well as a contingency plan for the sale or merger of the Bank in the event the primary sources of capital are not available. Accordingly, we have decided to expand the alternatives we are exploring to include selling one or more packages of nonperforming loans, selling one or more packages of performing loans, raising capital if necessary, or some 'hybrid' combination of the foregoing strategies."
Mr. Rock continued: "As I stated in our 2009 year-end earnings release, 'it is always difficult to predict the future, especially in these difficult and uncertain economic times.' Retail vacancies and office vacancies remain high, and commercial and residential rents and the number of home purchases remain low. As a result, our efforts to reduce impaired loans could progress slowly, absent one or more sales in bulk. Earnings will continue to be negatively impacted by historically high loan loss provisions and charge offs, and the valuation allowance for our deferred tax asset will continue to be re-evaluated each quarter. Cash dividends will remain suspended and the Company has decided to defer interest payments on its trust preferred securities.
"On the branch side, however," Mr. Rock continued, "our agreement with the FDIC and the Banking Department, and working through our problem loans, has not impaired our ability to serve our valued retail customers. Our branch network and core deposit franchise remain strong and are positioned for future growth once we meet the terms of the Consent Agreement. Our development of new branches is progressing and our deposits continue to carry FDIC insurance up to the maximum limits allowed. In addition to our deposit base being covered by the traditional FDIC insurance, the Bank also has insurance on the entire amount of all noninterest bearing checking accounts through our participation in the FDIC's Transaction Account Guarantee Program, which we have decided to continue via the most recently available extension through December 31, 2010."
With approximately $2.4 billion in assets and 29 branches, Bank of Smithtown is the largest independent commercial bank headquartered on Long Island. Founded in 1910, Bank of Smithtown is nearing its 100th anniversary as a community bank. The stock of its parent holding company, Smithtown Bancorp, is traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol "SMTB."
