Monroe Bancorp Reports Earnings of $1,975,000, or $0.317 Per Fully Diluted Share for 2009

BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Jan. 28, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Monroe Bancorp (the “Company”) (Nasdaq:MROE),  the independent Bloomington-based holding company for Monroe Bank (the “Bank”), reported net income of $1,975,000 or $0.317 per diluted common share for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to $3,979,000 or $0.639 per diluted common share for the year ended December 31, 2008. This represents a 50.4 percent decrease in both net income and in diluted earnings per share.

As discussed in more detail below, net income was significantly impacted by asset quality related issues, most notably a $2,970,000, or 33.4 percent increase in the provision for loan losses from $8,880,000 in 2008 to $11,850,000 in 2009.

Return on average shareholders’ equity for 2009 was 3.49 percent, compared to 7.11 percent for the year ended December 31, 2008. Return on average assets for the year ended December 31, 2009 was 0.24 percent, compared to 0.50 percent for the year ended December 31, 2008.

“We are very disappointed by the degree to which problem loans, and our need to add to the provision for credit losses, affected our 2009 results. While we see some signs of the strengthening of real estate values in the markets we serve, the overall market remains depressed and we concluded that the elevated provision was warranted.  You can be confident that we are working hard to address asset quality issues that have been a drain on our earnings,” said Mark D. Bradford, President and Chief Executive Officer of Monroe Bancorp and Monroe Bank. 

Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2009 was $617,000 or $0.099 per diluted common share, compared to a net loss of $209,000 or $0.034 per diluted common share for the fourth quarter of 2008 and net income of $710,000 or $0.114 per diluted common share for the third quarter of 2009. The provision for loan losses was $4,850,000 for the fourth quarter of 2009 compared to $4,150,000 for the same period of 2008.

Financial Performance

Net interest income before the provision for loan losses increased 1.0 percent to $23,837,000 for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to $23,601,000 for 2008. The tax equivalent net interest margin declined during 2009, decreasing from 3.30 percent for the year ended December 31, 2008, to 3.15 percent for 2009.  See the table titled “Reconciliation of GAAP Net Interest Margin to Non-GAAP Net Interest Margin on a Tax-Equivalent Basis” for a reconcilement of GAAP net interest margin to Non-GAAP net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis.

A significant factor contributing to the decline in the Company’s net interest margin was the year over year increase in non-accruing loans and other real estate owned (OREO). The average combined balance of non-accruing loans and OREO was $18,413,000 during 2009 compared to $12,229,000 for 2008. Also contributing to the decline in net interest margin was the Company’s decision to maintain a higher level of liquidity during 2009. The Company maintained an average balance of $27,388,000 in Fed Funds sold (funds invested overnight with correspondent banks) during 2009 compared to $8,754,000 during 2008. The average yield on Fed Funds sold for the year was 0.14 percent. The Company maintained an elevated Fed Funds position in 2009 due to uncertainties in the banking industry but anticipates a positive impact when the position is lowered as financial market conditions stabilize.

Noninterest income totaled $11,983,000 for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to $10,033,000 in 2008. Excluding the effect of the Company’s deferred compensation plan, noninterest income totaled $11,666,000 for 2009 compared to $10,832,000 during 2008. The $834,000 or 7.7 percent increase was driven by a $1,195,000 increase in gains from the sale of available for sale securities from the Company’s investment portfolio. See the table titled “Reconciliation of GAAP Noninterest Income & Expense to Noninterest Income & Expense Without the Financial Impact of the Deferred Compensation Plan” for a reconcilement of GAAP noninterest income and expense to noninterest income and expense without the financial impact of the deferred compensation plan.

Excluding gains from the sale of securities, the Company’s three largest sources of fee income were (1) deposit related fees ($3,477,000 in 2009, an 8.4 percent decrease from 2008 due to reduced customer overdraft activity), (2) trust fees ($2,313,000 in 2009, a 3.1 percent decrease from 2008 caused by a market driven decrease  in asset values under management) and (3) income from the sale of residential mortgages ($1,364,000 in 2009, a 94.0 percent increase over 2008 due to increased mortgage origination volume).  

“Having a number of sources of significant fee income is an important part of our business strategy and is particularly important during years like 2009 when there is stress on the Company’s net interest income activities,” said Mr. Bradford. 

Total noninterest expense increased 5.8 percent to $21,930,000 for the year ended December 31, 2009, as compared to $20,732,000 for 2008. Noninterest expense, excluding the effect of the Company’s deferred compensation plan, was $21,553,000 for 2009, compared to $21,425,000 for 2008. The $128,000, or 0.6 percent increase is the result of increases in FDIC assessment expenses (year over year increase of $1,004,000 or 208.7 percent). Excluding the FDIC expense increase, all other noninterest expense categories declined by a combined $876,000 or 4.2 percent. Staff reductions and reduced incentive plans contributed to a year over year decline in salaries and wages of $499,000 or 5.7 percent.

Asset Quality

Nonperforming assets and 90-day past due loans totaled $25,424,000 (3.17 percent of total assets) at December 31, 2009 compared to $21,622,000 (2.62 percent of total assets) at September 30, 2009 and $18,780,000 (2.29 percent of total assets) at December 31, 2008.

Net charge-offs for the fourth quarter of 2009 totaled $2,775,000 or 1.89 percent of total loans compared to $1,979,000 (1.30 percent of total loans) for the third quarter of 2009 and $2,375,000 (1.50 percent of total loans) for the fourth quarter of 2008.

The Bank employs an internal system called the “Watch List” to bring attention to credits with varying degrees of concern over the prospects of complete repayment, including both principal and all interest.   These concerns may be objectively based on the borrower’s financial and payment performance or on subjective concerns that Bank management has with the markets and conditions that the borrower operates within.  Loans on this list include:

  • Loans with well defined weaknesses where the prospect of complete repayment of principal and interest is remote and loans placed on non-accrual where specific reserves and charge-offs are applied as needed, and
     
  • Loans with potential weaknesses (whether borrower specific or due to market/economic considerations) that need to be resolved in order to avoid jeopardizing the complete repayment of principal and interest and the loan is subjected to additional scrutiny and assessment and internal documentation.

Loans on the Watch List tend to be more dependent on collateral if the borrower’s repayment capacity is diminished and the Bank devotes additional attention to revaluing the collateral as appropriate in assessing the probability of loss.

“While I am pleased that the watch list has stabilized over the past four quarters, I remain disappointed with the Company’s overall level of problem assets and the impact that they are having on our income. Problem asset resolution remains our number one priority,” said Mr. Bradford. 

Financial Condition

Total assets at December 31, 2009 were $802,451,000, a decrease of 2.1 percent from $819,799,000 at December 31, 2008. The decline in total assets was largely driven by a $45,726,000 decline in total loans, which was partially offset by increases in Fed Funds sold, cash and interest-earning deposits.  Total loans, including loans held for sale, totaled $587,365,000 on December 31, 2009, a 7.2 percent decrease from total loans on December 31, 2008, which were $633,091,000.

Total deposits at December 31, 2009 were $634,254,000 compared to $665,179,000 at December 31, 2008, a decrease of $30,925,000 or 4.6 percent.

Other Company News

Additional steps were taken to increase the Company’s capital during 2009. On July 17, 2009, Monroe Bancorp raised $13 million of Tier 2 capital through the issuance of subordinated debentures. The net proceeds from the offering provided additional capital to Monroe Bank which better positions the Company to continue as a well capitalized institution during the current economic downturn and pursue lending and growth opportunities as the economy improves.

The Company will hold its Annual Meeting of Shareholders at 10 a.m., Thursday, April 29, 2010 at the Bloomington/Monroe County Convention Center in downtown Bloomington, Indiana.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information 

To supplement the Company's consolidated condensed financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, the Company has used the following non-GAAP measures of reporting:

(1) The net interest margin is reported on a tax equivalent basis. The tax equivalent adjustment to net interest income recognizes the income tax savings when comparing taxable and tax-exempt assets and assumes a marginal income tax rate of 34 percent. Management believes that it is a standard practice in the banking industry to present net interest margin and net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis. Therefore, management believes these measures provide useful information to investors by allowing them to make peer comparisons. A table entitled “Reconciliation of GAAP Net Interest Margin to Non-GAAP Net Interest Margin on a Tax-Equivalent Basis,” included at the end of the attached financial summary, reconciles the non-GAAP financial measure “net interest income (tax-equivalent)” with net interest income calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.  The table also reconciles the non-GAAP financial measure “net interest margin (tax-equivalent)” with net interest margin calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

(2) Noninterest income and noninterest expense are reported without the effect of income and expenses related to securities held in a rabbi trust for the deferred compensation plan. A table entitled “Reconciliation of GAAP Noninterest Income & Expense to Noninterest Income & Expense Without the Financial Impact of the Deferred Compensation Plan”, included at the end of the attached financial summary, details all the items included in noninterest income and expense associated with the deferred compensation plan / rabbi trust and reconciles the GAAP numbers to the non-GAAP numbers. The activity in the rabbi trust has no effect on the Company’s net income, therefore, management believes a more accurate comparison of current and prior year noninterest income and noninterest expense can be made if items related to the rabbi trust are removed.

The Company believes these adjustments are appropriate to enhance an overall understanding of the Company's past financial performance and also its prospects for the future. These adjustments to the Company’s GAAP results are made with the intent of providing both management and investors a more complete understanding of the underlying operational results and trends and the Company's marketplace performance. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the numbers prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.
