DCB FINANCIAL CORP ANNOUNCES
SECOND QUARTER RESULTS
SECOND QUARTER RESULTS
LEWIS CENTER, Ohio, August 9, 2011 DCB Financial Corp, (OTC Bulletin Board DCBF), parent
holding company of The Delaware County Bank & Trust Company, Lewis Center, Ohio (the Bank)
announced a net loss of $1.856 million versus a loss of $2.028 million for the same period in 2010.
The reduced loss compared to the second quarter 2010 is mainly attributed to a reduction in
provision expense for problem credits offset by reduced net interest income and a one-time
restructuring charge related to an employee reduction-in-force (RIF) and branch closures.
During the second quarter, the Board of Directors approved a restructuring plan that consisted of a
RIF, branch closures and a realignment of branch personnel. These changes should result in an
annual cost reduction of approximately $1.0 million, while aligning the resources of the Company to
the overall size of its balance sheet. Chief Financial Officer John A. Ustaszewski noted, As weve
reduced the overall size of the balance sheet, we put together plans to reduce the staffing to
support it, and, attempted to align the number of branches to total deposits so that we can be as
efficient as possible.
Management is still working diligently to get The Bank back to a sustained profitability, noted
Tom Whitney, Interim President and Chief Executive Officer. These initiatives are another step
towards doing just that. Mr. Whitney added, Our shareholders and customers have been very
supportive of our plans. Under the circumstances they understand that certain decisions need to be
made in order to keep The Bank moving in the right direction. Though we are disappointed in our
quarterly results, there is no question we are getting closer to our goals. These decisions have
not been easy, but they are necessary.
Tim Kirtley, Interim COO and Chief Credit Officer offered, During the quarter we recorded
additional provision to address three large commercial loans that are in the workout process. Two
are commercial real estate loans, and the other is related to a hotel loan. Weve continued to
focus on our provisioning needs, and feel that the steps we have taken over the past four quarters
are getting us closer to that end. We will continue to be diligent in analyzing all of our problem
relationships to ensure we are getting these credit issues behind us.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income of $4.488 million decreased from the $5.362 million reported for the three
months ended June 30, 2010. This change is mainly due to the reduction in earning assets on the
balance sheet. Year over year, average year-to-date assets at The Bank decreased from $666.627
million to $579.099 million, a reduction of $87.528 or 13.1%. The decline can be attributed to the
lack of quality loan opportunities in the Companys footprint due to the current economic
environment, it is also attributed to various initiatives designed to reduce the overall size of
the balance sheet in order to improve capital ratios while deleveraging the balance sheet. The
asset decline has been utilized to fund reduction in CDARS deposit balances, and the reduction in
advances outstanding with the FHLB.
Net interest margin was 3.38% for the second quarter 2011, compared to 3.57% for the second quarter
2010. The decline in margin is attributed to the increased levels of cash held compared to last
year, and due to the declining yields on interest earning assets. The run-off in various loan
portfolios, particularly commercial real estate, has also contributed to the overall increase in
low yielding cash balances.
Lower loan origination volume and the reduced balance sheet funding requirements have allowed
management to focus on tactically addressing the structure of deposits. Low cost or no cost
transactional and savings account balances have seen slight increases as the Bank focuses on core
deposits. The Bank continues to re-price deposits on a year-to-year comparison, which helped
maintain low overall deposit funding costs. The Bank has also reduced its reliance on large time
deposits, particularly in the public fund sector, as the need for these funds has diminished with
the increased retail deposit focus. Though funding costs are low, its unlikely that further
reductions in deposit costs can be achieved. However, the Corporation has been able to reduce its
overall long-term borrowings through the FHLB by replacing those advances with customer deposits.
Tactically, the Corporation is de-leveraging the balance sheet through reductions in large time
deposits and FHLB advances.
Noninterest Income
Total noninterest income was $1.745 million and $1.793 million for the second quarter 2011 and 2010
respectively. This slight decline is mainly attributed to the reduction in gains on securities and
reduction in gain on loan sales from the second quarter 2010 compared to the second quarter 2011.
Though most noninterest income categories were stable, the economic environment has not allowed the
Corporation to achieve expected growth in certain revenue categories. For example, secondary market
mortgage loan origination fees are down for the current year, and are failing to keep pace with
last years production. Management expects that loans originated for sale will continue to remain
at a pace below last year. Additionally, because of changing retail banking regulations, Management
expects reduced revenue and higher compliance costs associated with consumer banking activity.
Noninterest Expense
Total noninterest expense of $5.821 million increased $84 thousand, or 1.5%, for the three months
ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. The increase was the result of an
increase in salary and benefits expense due to the one-time charge of $255 thousand taken for the
RIF and branch closings. This expense is mainly for severance payments to affected employees. The
Corporation reduced staffing levels in the 4th quarter 2010 and is further reducing
staffing with the recent RIF and branch closure announcement. Current staff levels at quarter end
were approximately 172 FTE. This is down considerably from 195 FTEs in June 2010 and 186 in
December 2010. The additional changes are expected to result in the reduction of an additional 30
FTEs Management expects these changes to contribute approximately $1.000 million annually to the
bottom line. Though some benefit will be felt in the 3rd quarter 2011, the full effect
of the changes will likely be captured in the 4th quarter 2011 and into 2012, as branch
closures and personnel changes related to those closures will not occur until the fourth quarter
2011.
Analysis of Selected Financial Condition
The Corporations assets totaled $616.067 million at June 30, 2011, compared to $565.105 million at
December 31, 2010, an increase of $50.962 million. This is mainly due to a single large deposit
transaction that took place on the last day of the month, which was subsequently wired out of the
bank the following day. This transaction, which was related to public unit activity, artificially
inflated the balance sheet for a single day. Without that transaction, total assets would have been
approximately $566.000 million. Management continues to make efforts to reduce the overall size of
the balance sheet in order to support its capital ratios and focus on its core business.
Cash and cash equivalents were $114.120 million at the end of the second quarter, an increase of
$80.599 million from December 31, 2010. This is again mainly attributed to the large deposit
transaction that occurred on the last day of the calendar quarter as noted above. Overall, cash and
cash-like balances have increased during the first half of the year as loans have paid down, and
retail deposits have increased in reaction to various specials offered to customers. Management has
focused on re-directing this excess cash into investment securities and by reducing FHLB advances
in order to restructure balance sheet funding. The reduction of CDARS balances and FHLB advances
will likely continue through the remainder of the year.
Total securities increased from $70.910 million at December 31, 2010 to $72.131 million at June 30,
2011. Management is targeting certain levels of limited excess cash in order to increase yields by
investing in securities instead of holding lower earning cash balances. The increase in securities
also provides collateral for various borrowing opportunities with the Federal Reserve, FHLB and
various correspondent banks.
Total loans, excluding loans held for sale, decreased $29.600 million from $424.864 million at
December 31, 2010 to $395.264 million at June 30, 2011. The decline in outstanding loan balances
is mainly due to the lower volume of new originations due to the current economy, normal loan pay
downs, and the charge-off of non-performing loans. The Corporations loan originations are expected
to remain subdued through year-end as lending staff continues to focus internally on current
problem credits.
Total deposits increased $58.982 million from $465.076 million at December 31, 2010 to $524.058
million at June 30, 2011. This increase is mainly due to the noted large deposit that was received
on the last day of the quarter and wired out the next day. Without that transaction, the overall
deposit based still would have increased as retail deposit specials have attracted new money.
Additionally, the Corporation continues to reduce its overall reliance on large deposit
relationships by reducing CDARS to $64.212 million at June 30, 2011, compared to $134.185 million
at June 30, 2010.
On an as-needed basis, the Corporation has the ability to utilize a variety of alternative funding
sources in order to reduce funding costs or create improved funding structure. However, with its
stable deposit base and adequate cash balances, there has been less emphasis on the utilization of
borrowed funds. Total FHLB advances decreased $6.660 million, resulting in a balance of $51.842
million at June 30, 2011. Additional reliance on borrowings outside of normal deposit growth may
increase the Corporations overall cost of funds; however, Management intends to continue to reduce
its exposure to high cost FHLB advances.
Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses totaled $2.536 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011,
compared to $3.386 million for the same period in 2010. This decline from the previous years
quarter is mainly attributed to the reduced requirement for additional reserves based on the Banks
reserve methodology. In general, credit metrics have improved as problem loans are declining and
delinquencies are down. Other contributing factors include improved workout results and some
stabilization of housing prices and unemployment within the Banks market area. Unemployment in
Delaware County continues to remain one of the lowest in the State of Ohio. On a quarterly basis,
Management completes a rigorous loan quality review on its problem credits to determine if
additional reserves are needed for expected future credit losses. The allowance for loan losses was
$11.355 million, or 2.87% of total loans at June 30, 2011, compared to $12.247 million, or 2.88% of
total loans at December 31, 2010. Net charge-offs for the second quarter were $1.481 million and
totaled $4.103 million for the first half of 2011.
Non-accrual loans at June 30, 2011 were $17.490 million, an increase from December 31, 2010 of $923
thousand, as problems loans have stabilized in response to workout activities. The majority of
non-accrual balances are attributed to loans in the investment real estate sector that were not
generating sufficient cash flow to service the debt. Management continues to focus on workout
related activity to reduce non-accrual and performing, but substandard graded loans. Delinquent
loans over thirty days decreased to 3.64% of total loans at June 30, 2011 from 4.01% at December
31, 2010, and from 3.84% at March 31, 2010. Delinquent loans are mainly attributed to the real
estate investment and commercial portfolios.
