The Bancorp, Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter 2010 Financial Results

Wilmington, Delaware – January 26, 2011 - The Bancorp, Inc. ("Bancorp") (NASDAQ: TBBK), a financial holding company, today reported results for the quarter ended December 31, 2010.

Financial Highlights

-  
Fourth quarter 2010 diluted earnings per share of $0.08, as compared to diluted loss per share of $0.04 in the fourth quarter 2009.

-  
Net income increased to $2.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2010 from $33,000 in fourth quarter 2009, before preferred stock dividends and accretion (TARP repaid March 10, 2010).

-  
Non-interest income, excluding security gains and losses, increased to $5.4 million, representing a 64% increase over fourth quarter 2009.

-  
Net interest income increased by 8% to $18.2 million over fourth quarter 2009.

-  
Total non-performing loans and loans 90 days past due and accruing interest declined to 1.08% of total loans at December 31, 2010, compared to 1.66% at the prior year end.

-  
Average loans for the fourth quarter totaled $1.6 billion, an increase of $85 million or 6% over fourth quarter 2009.

-  
Average deposits for the fourth quarter totaled $2.1 billion, an increase of $524 million or 32% over fourth quarter 2009, while transaction accounts grew to 99% of total average deposits. The average cost of funds between those respective periods decreased to 0.61% from 0.86%.

Betsy Z. Cohen, Bancorp’s Chief Executive Officer, said, “We are pleased to report meaningful increases in non-interest income and net interest income. Although the provision for loan and lease losses remained elevated during the quarter; operating earnings, excluding the provision, amounted to $7.2 million compared to $5.8 million in fourth quarter 2009. Additionally, improvement in several key asset quality indicators is reflected in the decrease in total non-performing assets and loans over 90 days past due still accruing. Those categories totaled $19.6 million at December 31, 2010, compared to $25.7 million at the prior year end, or a decrease of 24%, while the allowance for loan losses to total loans increased to 1.49% from 1.26% over that period.  In a weak economy, we grew our average quarterly loans by 6%, and have begun closing Small Business Administration loans. We also have developed new relationships to market our security backed lines of credit and are optimistic about growth in that area.  We continue to grow prepaid relationships with our pipeline of prepaid customers.”

Financial Results

Bancorp reported net income available to common shareholders for the three months ended December 31, 2010 of $2.0 million or $0.08 diluted earnings per share, on 26,181,354 weighted average shares, compared to a net loss available to common shareholders of $932,000 or a diluted loss per share of $0.04, based on 26,181,291 weighted average shares, for the three months ended December 31, 2009.  Core operating earnings as shown below, a non-GAAP measure, increased to $7.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010 as compared to $5.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2009.  The following is a reconciliation of core operating earnings to GAAP net income available to common shareholders (for the three month periods):

As a supplement to GAAP, Bancorp has provided this non-GAAP performance result. The Bancorp believes that this non-GAAP financial measure is useful because it allows investors to assess its operating performance, specifically its overall earnings capacity.  Other companies may calculate core earnings differently.  Although this non-GAAP financial measure is intended to enhance investors’ understanding of Bancorp’s business and performance, it should not be considered, and is not intended to be, a substitute for GAAP.
