Charlotte, NC — January 19, 2011 — Park Sterling Corporation (NASDAQ: PSTB), the holding company for Park Sterling Bank, today released unaudited results of operations and other financial information for the three months and year ended December 31, 2010. Highlights for the quarter and for the year include:

Average earning assets grew 16% compared to the third quarter of 2010, and 36% compared to the fourth quarter of 2009

Provision for loan losses increased $2.1 million to $8.2 million compared to the third quarter of 2010 related to the effects of extended economic weakness on the loan portfolio
 
   
Net charge-offs increased $7.0 million compared to the third quarter of 2010 to $9.0 million
 
   
Capital levels remain strong as tangible common equity as a percentage of tangible assets decreased slightly to 28.75% from 29.06% in the third quarter of 2010
 
   
Net loss of $4.5 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $3.7 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2010 and net income of $118,000, or $0.02 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2009
Full Year Highlights:
   
Successfully completed public offering generating $140.2 million in net proceeds, positioning Park Sterling well to take advantage of consolidation opportunities in the Carolinas and Virginia
 
   
Expanded management team and reconstituted board of directors
 
   
Implemented new operating strategy whereby Park Sterling seeks to reach a consolidated asset size between $8 billion and $10 billion over the next several years through acquisitions and organic growth
 
   
Refined loan loss allowance methodology resulting in more comprehensive analysis of potential loan losses
 
   
Net loss of $7.9 million, or $0.58 per diluted share, compared to net income of $577,000, or $0.12 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2009
“During the fourth quarter of 2010, we continued reviewing our loan portfolio, with a particular emphasis on our higher risk (lower internal grade) exposures in light of the continued economic downturn that persists across North Carolina and shifting borrower behaviors,” said Jim Cherry, Chief Executive Officer. “This process intensified in the fourth quarter. As a result of this extensive review, we prudently added $28.8 million to our nonperforming loans, and charged off $9.0 million. This was a purposeful exercise that positions us to better pursue our strategy of acquiring regional and community banks in the Carolinas and Virginia as well as growing organically. Out of the $42.1 million in nonperforming loans, approximately $23.0 million continue to pay according to agreed upon terms. We believe that our actions were appropriate in the face of the current economic environment. As we saw last quarter, the shift in customer behavior and capacity, whereby borrowers who were once strong with solid liquidity and equity are now becoming increasingly stressed, has expanded as the downturn continues.

 

 


 

Even with this increase in nonperforming loans and charge-offs in the fourth quarter, we are executing on our growth strategy. We started 2011 by bringing on Emory Ware, a banker with 25 years of operating experience in South Carolina, as our South Carolina Market President to lead our expansion into the Charleston, Greenville/Spartanburg, and Columbia, South Carolina markets. We also continue to have an active pipeline of potential partner banks in all three of our target markets, and are confident in our ability to achieve our objectives.”
Fourth Quarter 2010 Financial Highlights
Asset Quality
Nonperforming loans increased to $42.1 million, or 10.53% of total loans, compared to $13.4 million, or 3.36% of total loans, as of September 30, 2010. Nonperforming assets totaled $43.4 million, or 7.04% of total assets, up from $14.8 million, or 2.34% of total assets, as of September 30, 2010.
The provision for loan losses increased $2.1 million, to $8.2 million, compared to the third quarter of 2010. The increase in the provision for loan losses directly resulted from the effects of extended economic weakness on the loan portfolio, which included an increase in both net charge-offs and nonperforming loans. Net charge-offs increased to $9.0 million, or 8.97% of average loans on an annualized basis, compared to $2.0 million, or 1.98% of average loans (annualized) in the prior quarter. The allowance for loan losses was $12.4 million, or 3.11% of total loans, a decrease of $800,000 from $13.2 million, or 3.31% of total loans, at September 30, 2010. The allowance represented 29.50% of nonperforming loans (including restructured loans) at December 31, 2010, down from 98.46% at September 30, 2010. The decrease in the allowance resulted primarily from net charge-offs on previously identified impaired loans with specific reserves.
Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
Compared to both the third quarter of 2010 and the fourth quarter of 2009, net interest income increased 7% to $3.9 million from $3.6 million, primarily due to an increased level of average earning assets. On a sequential basis, average earning assets rose 16% which more than offset a 22 basis point decrease in the net interest margin (tax equivalent), to 2.52%. The increase in average earning assets was due to a $73.6 million increase in taxable investment securities through utilization of net proceeds from the common stock offering. The decrease in the net interest margin primarily resulted from interest reversals on nonaccrual loans, which accounted for 21 basis points of net interest margin. Compared to the prior year period, average earning assets increased 36%, as taxable investment securities increased $96.9 million, which more than offset a 68 basis point decrease in the net interest margin (tax equivalent). The decrease in the net interest margin was due to the increase in investment securities which were lower yielding assets. Interest reversals on nonaccrual loans also impacted the net interest margin on a year-over-year basis, which accounted for eight basis points of the net interest margin decrease.

Non-Interest Income
Non-interest income increased $17,000 compared to the third quarter of 2010 and $29,000 compared to the fourth quarter of 2009. The growth in non-interest income compared to both prior periods was primarily related to a $14,000 gain on the disposition of assets.
Non-Interest Expense
Non-interest expense increased 19% compared to the third quarter of 2010, and 71% compared to the fourth quarter of 2009. The increase in expenses compared to both prior periods was primarily related to a $337,000 increase in salaries and employee benefits related to the management expansion and addition of new employees. Also included in non-interest expenses was $165,000 of due diligence-related expenses as well as $328,000 of non-cash stock option expense.
Balance Sheet and Capital
Total assets decreased $16.5 million, or 3%, compared to the third quarter of 2010, primarily due to a decrease in fed funds sold resulting from the release of $11.9 million of brokered CDs as well as a decrease in other time deposits. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2009, total assets grew $142.3 million, or 30%, resulting from increases in the investment portfolio and fed funds sold due to the completion of the Bank’s initial public offering during the third quarter of 2010.
Compared to the third quarter of 2010, total loans increased $2.2 million, or 1%, to $399.8 million, primarily due to modest growth in commercial real estate and commercial and industrial loans, partially offset by decreases in construction loans. Total loan balances increased $2.3 million, or 1%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2009, as growth in commercial real estate and commercial and industrial loans more than offset continued runoff in higher risk construction and development loans. Construction and development loans decreased 11% compared to the third quarter of 2010, and 24% compared to the fourth quarter of 2009.
Total deposits decreased $9.3 million, or 2%, compared to the third quarter of 2010. This decrease in deposits was primarily due to the release of $11.9 million of brokered CDs. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2009, total deposits increased $15.2 million, or 4%, resulting from a $12.2 million increase in demand deposits, a $19.6 million increase in money market deposits, and a $14.8 million increase in core CDs, partially offset by the release of $29.2 million in brokered CDs. Core deposits as a percentage of total deposits were 74%, compared to 72% in the third quarter of 2010 and 66% in the fourth quarter of 2009.
Stockholders’ equity decreased $6.7 million to $177.1 million compared to $183.8 million at September 30, 2010, primarily resulting from the fourth quarter 2010 net loss of $4.5 million. Stockholders’ equity increased $131.0 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2009 as a result of the August 2010 common stock offering. Tangible common equity as a percentage of tangible assets was 28.75%, a slight decrease from 29.06% at September 30, 2010, and an increase compared to 9.73% at December 31, 2009.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures
Tangible assets, tangible common equity, tangible book value and related ratios, as used throughout this release, are non-GAAP financial measures. “Tangible assets” equals period end total assets less intangible assets. “Tangible common equity” equals period end common shareholders’ equity less intangible assets. “Tangible book value per share” equals period end tangible common equity divided by period end common shares issued and outstanding. See the table below for the non-GAAP measures and corresponding reconciliations to GAAP financial measures.
