VALLEY FINANCIAL CORPORATION REVISES 2009 FOURTH QUARTER LOAN LOSS PROVISION
ROANOKE, VIRGINIA (March 12, 2010) -- Valley Financial Corporation (NASDAQ Capital Market-VYFC) today announced that it revised its fourth quarter loan loss provision to $5.3 million from the previously announced $2.6 million. After the revision, the Company’s total allowance for loan losses stood at $14.6 million and 2.56% of total loans, as compared to $14.6 million and 2.54% of total loans previously announced. The Company increased its loan loss provision for general reserves by a total of $2.7 million; $1.2 million as a result of the impact from additional charge-offs totaling $2.7 million of previously recognized collateral impairments in its residential and commercial real estate categories and $1.5 million as the result of a new environmental factor to account for concentration risk for its large borrower relationships. These revisions are in response to the more conservative approach regulators are taking towards loan loss reserves in this difficult economic environment.
As a result of the revisions, the Company’s ratio of non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets decreased to 4.36% as compared to 5.10% previously reported. This compares to 1.48% reported at December 31, 2008. Net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans receivable for the year ended December 31, 2009 was 1.41% compared to 0.94% previously reported and 0.12% for last year. Net charge-offs for the year ended December 31, 2009 totaled $8.2 million as compared to $614,000 for 2008.
Ellis L. Gutshall, President and CEO commented, “The current economic environment has severely impacted businesses and financial institutions throughout the country. While today’s environment continues to require stringent measures, we are confident in our ability to navigate through the effects of this difficult economic environment. Pre-provision earnings remain strong, core deposits continue to experience double-digit annualized growth rates and our capital levels remain well above the levels deemed well-capitalized by the regulatory agencies.”
Capital Levels Remain Strong
Valley Financial Corporation’s capital levels remain well above the regulatory well-capitalized ratios. Tier 1 risk-based and total risk-based capital ratios were 11.74% and 13.01%, respectively, at December 31, 2009. Capital levels decreased compared to 13.11% and 14.36%, respectively, at December 31, 2008.
Impact on Earnings
Net loss for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 totaled $5.7 million compared to net income of $1.7 million a year earlier. After deducting the dividends and discount accretion on preferred stock, net loss available to common shareholders for the year ending December 31, 2009 amounted to $6.6 million or $1.42 per share compared to net income available to common shareholders of $1.6 million and $0.35 per share for the twelve months ended December 31, 2008. Return on average total assets was (0.81%) for the year and return on average shareholder’s equity was (10.03%), compared with 0.27% and 3.87% respectively for the same period last year.
Net loss for the three-month period ending December 31, 2009 was $2.7 million compared to a net loss of $0.5 million for the same period last year. After deducting the dividends and discount accretion on preferred stock, the net loss available to common shareholders for the three-month period ending December 31, 2009 amounted to $3.0 million or $0.63 per share compared to $0.5 million or $0.11 per share for the three-month period ending December 31, 2008.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This report refers to the overhead efficiency ratio, which is computed by dividing non-interest expense by the sum of net interest income on a tax equivalent basis and non-interest income excluding gains or losses on securities, fixed assets and foreclosed assets. This is a non-GAAP financial measure that we believe provides investors with important information regarding our
operational efficiency. Comparison of our efficiency ratio with those of other companies may not be possible, because other companies may calculate the efficiency ratio differently. Such information is not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP) and should not be construed as such. Management believes such financial information is meaningful to the reader in understanding operating performance, but cautions that such information not be viewed as a substitute for GAAP. Valley Financial Corporation, in referring to its net income, is referring to income under GAAP.
The reconciliation of tax-equivalent net interest income, which is not a measurement under GAAP, to net interest income, is reflected in the table below.
