United Security Bancshares, Inc. Reports Second Quarter Results
Reports Growth in Net Income to $904,000, or $0.15 per Diluted Share
THOMASVILLE, Ala.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--August 5, 2011--United Security Bancshares, Inc. (Nasdaq: USBI) today reported net income attributable to USBI of $904,000, or $0.15 per diluted share, for the second quarter ended June 30, 2011, compared with a net loss of $348,000, or ($0.06) per diluted share, for the same period of 2010.
United Security returned to profitability in the second quarter of 2011 and benefited from a significant reduction in the provision for loan losses compared with the linked first quarter of 2011 and the second quarter of 2010. The growth in net income since the second quarter of last year also resulted from an increase in net interest income and non-interest income, as well as higher net interest margin.
The Company expects near-term earnings to be affected by the continued weakness in its real estate loan portfolio related to a slowdown in real estate sales and lower real estate values that affect loan demand and collateral values.
Second Quarter Results
Net interest income increased 2.0% to $8.8 million in the second quarter of 2011, compared with $8.7 million in the second quarter of 2010. Net interest margin rose to 6.17% in the second quarter of 2011, a 44 basis point improvement from 5.73% in the second quarter of 2010.
Core earnings for the second quarter remained solid, with growth in net interest income and net interest margin compared with the second quarter of 2010. Net loans increased modestly from year-end 2010 and benefited from a slight increase in consumer loans, but loan demand remains weak across First United Security Bank’s markets due to the soft economy and its effect on real estate transactions and related loan activity.
Interest income totaled $10.6 million in the second quarter of 2011, compared with $11.2 million in the second quarter of 2010. The decrease in interest income was due primarily to lower interest rates and a 5.2% decrease in average earning assets.
Interest expense declined 29.7% to $1.8 million in the second quarter of 2011, compared with $2.5 million in the second quarter of 2010. The decrease resulted primarily from a decline in interest rates paid compared with the second quarter of 2010.
Provision for loan losses declined to $1.6 million in the second quarter of 2011, or 1.6% of annualized average loans, compared with $3.7 million, or 3.5% of annualized average loans, in the second quarter of 2010. Net charge-offs declined to $2.6 million in the second quarter of 2011, compared with $4.3 million in the second quarter of 2010. The decline in the provision for loan losses was due primarily to lower net charge-offs for the period and additions to the allowance for loan losses in previous periods.
The Bank remains focused on reducing the level of non-performing loans and other real estate (ORE) owned as key drivers to improving future profitability. ORE declined to $25.3 million at the end of the second quarter 2011 due to real estate sales and write-downs that more than offset new additions to ORE, and loans 90-days past due declined to $3.4 million. These improvements in loan quality metrics were offset partially by non-accrual loans increasing to $28.9 million at the end of the second quarter, up from $21.6 million at the end of the first quarter of 2011. The Company remains focused on moving non-performing loans through the collection or foreclosure process to minimize potential losses and to protect USBI’s capital base.
Total non-interest income rose 52.2% to $2.2 million in the second quarter of 2011, compared with $1.4 million in the second quarter of 2010. The increase in non-interest income was due primarily to growth in credit life insurance income and other income. Other income for the second quarter of 2011 included a $402,000 gain on security sales and a $258,000 reimbursement of attorney fees from a previous fidelity bond claim.
Total non-interest expense increased 12.6% to $8.2 million in the second quarter of 2011, compared with $7.2 million in the second quarter of 2010. Salary and benefit costs rose 6.2% to $3.9 million, other real estate expenses increased 8.3% to $571,000 and other expense was up 28.9% to $2.9 million, all compared with the second quarter of 2010.
United Security Bancshares and First United Security Bank continued to be rated as ‘well-capitalized,’ the highest regulatory rating, as of June 30, 2011. Total risk-based capital was 17.1% for the Company and for the Bank, compared with a regulatory requirement of 10.0% for a well-capitalized institution and a minimum regulatory requirement of 8.0%. Tier 1 risk-based capital was 15.8% for the Company and for the Bank, both measures significantly above the requirement of 6.0% for a well-capitalized institution and minimum regulatory requirement of 4.0%.
Six Months Results
For the first six months of 2011, net income attributable to USBI was $1.7 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, compared with $2.9 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, for the first six months of 2010.
For the six months ended June 30, 2011, net interest income increased 2.5% to $17.4 million, compared with $17.0 million for the same period of 2010. Net interest margin improved to 6.18% for the first six months of 2011 from 5.61% in the first six months of 2010.
Provision for loan losses was $2.9 million in the first six months of 2011, compared with $5.4 million in the first six months of 2010.
Non-interest income declined to $3.4 million for the first six months of 2011, compared with $7.0 million for the same period of 2010. The 2010 results included an insurance settlement of $4.2 million arising from the proceeds of the Company’s fidelity bond claim that was included in other income for the first six months of 2010.
Non-interest expense was up 7.7% to $15.6 million in the first six months of 2011, compared with $14.5 million in the first six months of 2010. The increase was due to higher salary, occupancy, impairment of ORE and other expenses, partially offset by lower furniture and equipment expense, and a lower loss on sale of ORE.
Shareholders’ equity was $77.9 million, or $12.96 per share, at June 30, 2011, compared with $74.5 million, or $12.40 per share, at December 31, 2010 and $83.2 million, or $13.84 per share, at June 30, 2010. United Security did not declare a cash dividend on its common stock for the second quarter of 2011.
