Access National Corporation Announces Earnings for the Third Quarter of 2010

RESTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--October 20, 2010--Access National Corporation (NASDAQ: ANCX), holding company for Access National Bank, reported third quarter net income of $2.4 million compared to $2.2 million recorded in the third quarter of 2009. This represents the company’s 41st consecutive quarterly profit. Earnings per diluted share were $0.23 for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, compared to $0.21 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2009. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 totaled $5.3 million or $0.50 per diluted share, compared to net income of $7.6 million or $0.73 per diluted share for the first nine months of 2009. The decrease in earnings is primarily due to a 68.3% decrease in net income from mortgage banking activities that was partially offset by a 136.0% increase in net income from the banking segment.

Loans held for investment totaled $478.3 million at September 30, 2010 compared to $486.6 million at December 31, 2009 as economic conditions continue to impact loan demand. The Bank was recognized as the #1 ranked small business lender by dollar volume among all banks in the Washington Metropolitan Area District, according to the United States Small Business Administration (SBA) for the government fiscal year ended Sept. 30, 2010. In 2009, the bank was the #1 SBA lender among community banks in the district, which includes Northern Virginia and suburban Maryland. The outlook for SBA Loans got brighter when the Small Business Jobs Act was signed into law September 27, 2010. Among other things, the Act provides for larger SBA loans of up to $5 million from $2 million and relaxed the definition of small business to include the lower middle market business segment that is so dominant in the bank’s market area.

Investment securities have increased $104.9 million subsequent to December 31, 2009 as a result of deposit growth and low loan demand. All of the securities purchased this year were government agencies.

Total deposits have grown by $140.3 million from $466.6 million at December 31, 2009 to $606.9 million at September 30, 2010. Noninterest-bearing deposit balances increased 25.3% or $17.7 million during the nine month period as the bank continues to grow its portfolio of local operating businesses with core operating accounts.

Income before taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 from the banking segment totaled $6.5 million, up from $3.0 million for the same period in 2009. Income before taxes from the mortgage segment decreased $7.3 million from $10.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 to $3.3 million for the same period in 2010.

Return on average assets for the first nine months of 2010 annualized was 0.95% compared to 1.39% for the same period in 2009. Return on average equity annualized was 10.12% for the first nine months of 2010 compared to 15.92% in the prior year. Book value per common share was $6.95 at September 30, 2010, an increase of 10.5% compared to $6.29 at September 30, 2009.

Assets totaled $804.8 million at September 30, 2010 compared to $695.2 million at September 30, 2009. The increase in total assets is due to the increase in deposits.

Non-performing assets (NPAs) totaled approximately $10.2 million or 1.27% of assets at September 30, 2010 down from $12.1 million or 1.53% of assets at June 30, 2010. NPAs are comprised of non-accrual loans totaling $7.0 million and other real estate owned of $3.2 million. The allowance for loan losses totaled 2.07% of total loans held for investment as of September 30, 2010 compared to 2.03% for the second quarter of 2010 and coverage of the allowance to NPAs increased to 95.06% from 77.35% at June 30, 2010.

Access National Corporation and its subsidiary bank continue to exceed standards of being “Well Capitalized” as defined under banking regulations. The ratio of total equity to total assets at September 30, 2010 was 9.03% compared to 9.49% at September 30, 2009.
