First Bancorp Reports First Quarter Results


TROY, N.C. – First Bancorp (NASDAQ - FBNC), the parent company of First Bank, announced today first quarter net income available to common shareholders of $5.3 million compared to $3.4 million reported in the first quarter of 2010.  Earnings per diluted common share were $0.32 in the first quarter of 2011 compared to $0.20 in the first quarter of 2010.

 In the first quarter of 2011, the Company realized a $10.2 million bargain purchase gain related to the acquisition of The Bank of Asheville (see below).  This gain resulted from the difference between the purchase price and the acquisition-date fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities.  The after-tax impact of this gain was $6.2 million, or $0.37 per diluted common share.

Acquisition of The Bank of Asheville

On January 21, 2011, First Bank entered into a loss share purchase and assumption agreement with the FDIC to purchase substantially all of the assets and liabilities of The Bank of Asheville, which had been closed earlier that day.  The Bank of Asheville operated through five branches in Asheville, North Carolina, and had total assets of $198 million, including $161 million in loans and $192 million in deposits.

First Bank received a $23.9 million discount on the assets acquired and paid no deposit premium, which resulted in a receipt of cash from the FDIC of $29.9 million.  Based on preliminary estimates of fair value (including the cash received from the FDIC), First Bank recorded total assets of $208.6 million, including $102 million in loans, and liabilities of $198.4 million, including $193 million in deposits.  The $10.2 million difference between the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed was recorded as a gain.  The fair value estimates and resulting gain are preliminary and are subject to change for a period of one year as information relative to closing date fair values becomes available.

Substantially all of the loans and foreclosed real estate purchased are covered by loss share agreements between the FDIC and First Bank, which affords First Bank significant loss protection.  Under the loss share agreements, the FDIC will cover 80% of loan and foreclosed real estate losses.  The Company has recorded an estimated receivable from the FDIC related to this transaction in the amount of $42.2 million, which represents the FDIC’s portion of the losses that are expected to be incurred and reimbursed to the Company.

The operating results of First Bancorp for the period ended March 31, 2011 include the results of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities for the period subsequent to the acquisition date of January 21, 2011.

Note Regarding Components of Earnings

In addition to the gain related to The Bank of Asheville acquisition, the Company’s results of operation are significantly affected by the accounting for a FDIC-assisted failed bank acquisition completed in 2009.  In the discussion below, the term “covered” is used to describe assets included as part of FDIC loss share agreements, which generally result in the FDIC reimbursing the Company for 80% of losses incurred.

For covered loans that deteriorate in terms of repayment expectations, the Company records immediate allowances through the provision for loan losses.  For covered loans that experience favorable changes in credit quality compared to what was expected at the acquisition date, the Company records positive adjustments to interest income over the life of the respective loan.  For foreclosed properties that are sold at gains or losses or that are written down to lower values, the Company records the gains/losses within noninterest income.

The adjustments discussed above are recorded within the income statement line items noted without consideration of the FDIC loss share agreements.  Because favorable changes in covered assets result in lower expected FDIC claims, and unfavorable changes in covered assets result in higher expected FDIC claims, the FDIC indemnification asset is adjusted to reflect those expectations.  The net increase or decrease in the indemnification asset is reflected within noninterest income.

The adjustments noted above can result in volatility within individual income statement line items.  Because of the FDIC loss share agreements and the associated indemnification asset, pretax income resulting from amounts recorded as provisions for loan losses, interest income, and losses from foreclosed properties is generally only impacted by 20% due to the corresponding adjustments made to the indemnification asset.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income for the first quarter of 2011 amounted to $32.3 million, a 3.6% increase over the first quarter of 2010.  This increase was due to a higher net interest margin, which was partially offset by a lower level of average earning assets.

The Company’s net interest margin (tax-equivalent net interest income divided by average earnings assets) in the first quarter of 2011 was 4.62%, a 46 basis point increase from the 4.16% margin realized in the first quarter of 2010.  The higher margin in 2011 was primarily a result of lower funding costs.  The Company has been able to lower rates on all categories of interest bearing deposits, including maturing time deposits that were originated in periods of higher interest rates.  Also, the Company has experienced declines in higher cost deposit categories.

The 4.62% net interest margin realized in the first quarter of 2011 was a 17 basis point decrease from the 4.79% margin realized in the fourth quarter of 2010.  The decline was primarily a result of less accretion of the loan discount on loans assumed in the Company’s June 2009 failed-bank acquisition.  See page 4 of the Financial Summary for a table that presents the impact of all purchase accounting adjustments.

Provision for Loan Losses and Asset Quality

The Company’s provision for loan losses amounted to $11.3 million in the first quarter of 2011 compared to $7.6 million in the first quarter of 2010.  The 2011 provision for loan losses was comprised of $7.5 million related to non-covered loans and $3.8 million related to covered loans, whereas in the comparable period of 2010, the entire $7.6 million provision for loan losses related to non-covered loans.  As previously discussed, the provision for loan losses related to covered loans was offset by an 80% increase to the FDIC indemnification asset, which increased noninterest income.

Nonperforming asset levels have remained fairly stable over each of the past three quarter ends.  Non-covered nonperforming assets were between $116-$118 million over that period, or approximately 4.1% of total non covered assets.  Covered nonperforming assets have amounted to between $168-$181 million over that same period, with the $169 million at March 31, 2011 being impacted by the nonperforming assets assumed in The Bank of Asheville acquisition.  The Company’s outlook for nonperforming assets is consistent with the recent trend, with the Company not expecting material improvement, nor deterioration, in the near future.

Noninterest Income

Total noninterest income was $14.2 million in the first quarter of 2011 compared to $5.7 million for the first quarter of 2010.  The increase in 2011 was primarily caused by the previously discussed $10.2 million bargain purchase gain recorded in the acquisition of The Bank of Asheville.  Other significant factors affecting 2011 noninterest income were – 1) $4.9 million of write-downs of covered foreclosed properties, 2) $1.4 million of write-downs on non-covered foreclosed properties, and 3) $5.0 million of indemnification asset income due to increased amounts expected from the FDIC related to the provision for loan losses on covered loans and the write-downs of covered foreclosed properties recorded in 2011.

For the three month period ended March 31, 2011, service charges on deposits were $3.0 million compared to $3.5 million for the same period in 2010.  The decline was primarily due to lower overdraft fees, which began declining in the second half of 2010 as result of fewer instances of customers overdrawing their accounts.  This was partially a result of new regulations that took effect in the third quarter of 2010 that limit the Company’s ability to charge overdraft fees.

Noninterest Expenses

Noninterest expenses amounted to $25.0 million in the first quarter of 2011, a 12.4% increase from the $22.3 million recorded in the same period of 2010.  Operating expenses related to The Bank of Asheville acquisition were $1.0 million in 2011, and additionally, the Company recorded $0.4 million in merger expenses related to this transaction.  For each of three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded approximately $0.6 million in expense related to separate frauds.

Other significant factors playing a role in the increased expenses were – 1) $0.6 million in higher employee medical claims incurred by the Company’s self-funded health plan, and 2) collection expenses on non-covered assets, which amounted to $0.8 million in 2011 compared to $0.4 million for the comparable period in 2010.

Balance Sheet and Capital

Total assets at March 31, 2011 amounted to $3.4 billion, a 0.3% increase from a year earlier.  Total loans at March 31, 2011 amounted to $2.5 billion, a 4.6% decrease from a year earlier, and total deposits amounted to $2.8 billion at March 31, 2011, a 0.9% decrease from a year earlier.

 Excluding acquisition growth, the Company continues to experience general declines in loans and deposits, which began with the onset of the recession.  Although the Company originates and renews a significant amount of loans each month, normal paydowns of loans and loan foreclosures have been exceeding new loan growth.  Overall, loan demand remains weak in most of the Company’s market areas.  The declining loan balances have provided the Company with the liquidity to allow less reliance on high cost deposits, which has improved funding costs.

The Company remains well-capitalized by all regulatory standards with a Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio of 16.76% compared to the 10.00% minimum to be considered well-capitalized.  The Company’s tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio was 6.42% at March 31, 2011, an increase of 11 basis points from a year earlier.

The Company continues to maintain $65 million in preferred stock that was issued to the US Treasury in January 2009 under the Capital Purchase Program (TARP).  The Company has applied to participate in the Treasury’s Small Business Lending Fund (SBLF), which would result in the repayment of its TARP funding by the simultaneous issuance of a similar amount of preferred stock under the terms of the SBLF.  Participation in the SBLF could result in the dividend rate on the preferred stock being reduced from 5% to as low as 1% if certain loan growth targets are met.  In the event it is accepted, the Company has developed a business plan to grow the types of loans targeted by the SBLF.

Comments of the President and Other Business Matters

Jerry L. Ocheltree, President and CEO of First Bancorp, commented on today’s report, “Although we were saddened by the failure of The Bank of Asheville and the concern that its closure caused to its customers and employees, we believe that First Bank was a great fit to assume the closed branches and continue its tradition of community bank service.  We are working hard to prove ourselves to our new customers and consider it a privilege to be of service.”

Mr. Ocheltree continued, “With solid fundamentals, including a strong net interest margin, low overhead expense and high capital levels, we continue to be in a great position to grow and to achieve high levels of profits when the economy improves.”

Mr. Ocheltree noted the following corporate developments:

 
·
The conversion of The Bank of Asheville’s computer systems to First Bank is scheduled to occur over Memorial Day weekend at the end of May.

 
·
On February 23, 2011, the Company announced a quarterly cash dividend of $0.08 per share payable on April 25, 2011 to shareholders of record on March 31, 2011.  This is the same dividend rate as the Company declared in the first quarter of 2010.


First Bancorp is a bank holding company headquartered in Troy, North Carolina with total assets of approximately $3.4 billion.  Its principal activity is the ownership and operation of First Bank, a state-chartered community bank that now operates 97 branches, with 82 branches operating in North Carolina, 9 branches in South Carolina (Cheraw, Dillon, Florence, Latta, Jefferson, and Little River), and 6 branches in Virginia (Abingdon, Christiansburg, Dublin, Fort Chiswell, Radford, and Wytheville), where First Bank does business as First Bank of Virginia.
