Southern Community Financial Reports
Third Quarter Profit

Winston-Salem, NC – (PR Newswire) 10/20/2011 – Southern Community Financial Corporation (NASDAQ: SCMF) (NASDAQ: SCMFO), announced today that it earned $138 thousand in the third quarter of 2011, equating to $0.01 per common share.  This is its second consecutive quarterly profit since the onset of the financial crisis in fourth quarter of 2008.

The Company’s third quarter results compare to a net income available to common shareholders of $511 thousand for the second quarter of 2011 and a net loss available to common shareholders of $8.6 million a year ago.  Net income per diluted share of $0.01 in the third quarter improved significantly from a net loss per diluted share of $0.51 for the third quarter 2010.  Net income available to common shareholders in the second quarter 2011 was $0.03 per diluted share.

Most credit issues have stabilized through the first nine months of 2011, with only a slight increase in nonperforming loans from the second quarter.  Of particular note, says bank management, are the marked improvements and positive trends in asset quality they have seen since September 30, 2010.

Chairman and CEO F. Scott Bauer credits the employees and management team for Southern Community Bank’s ability to navigate through a difficult financial crisis and recession while continuing to make progress in a still tentative and uncertain economic climate.

 “While the last three years have been challenging, the positive trends we are experiencing now are reflective of the hard work and dedication of our employees,” said Chairman and CEO F. Scott Bauer.  “Our core business has remained strong.  Today, local deposits represent more than 70% of our funding, the highest since Southern Community started fifteen years ago.  We sincerely thank our customers and shareholders for their support.”

While making significant inroads in eliminating problem loans from its balance sheet, management has seen its capital – the measure of a company’s strength – jump to $98.3 million from $92.3 million in nine months, while exceeding all required regulatory capital levels.  Demand deposits – the measure of customer confidence in the bank – increased by $10.1 million, or 8%.

“Our reputation for providing excellent service has never diminished.  We will have substantial opportunity for growth in the future driven by industry consolidation and changes in our competition,” Bauer said.  “Our Board and management team will continue to work through this tough economic environment and prepare for the opportunities ahead.”

For the first nine months of 2011, the Company reported net income available to common shareholders of $161 thousand as the Company stabilized its asset quality and continued to effectively manage expenses downward on a linked quarter and year-over-year basis.

Asset Quality

Nonperforming loans increased $5.7 million to $72.5 million, or 7.30% of total loans, at September 30, 2011 from $66.8 million, or 6.42% of total loans, at June 30, 2011 primarily due to a $10.2 million relationship being restructured and placed on a nonaccrual status during the quarter.  On a year-over-year basis, nonperforming loans were down $26.3 million, or 27%.  Loans delinquent 30-89 days sequentially increased by $253 thousand to $4.5 million at September 30, 2011; however, delinquencies showed significant improvement over the September 30, 2010 level of $8.9 million.  Foreclosed assets decreased $3.9 million, or 17%, on a linked quarter basis as $6.0 million in sales of properties and writedowns of $315 thousand offset the new foreclosed asset additions during the third quarter of 2011.  Despite a $1.7 million, or 2%, increase on a linked quarter basis, nonperforming assets showed significant improvement of $26.5 million or 22% year-over-year, decreasing to $91.6 million or 5.92% of total assets from $118.1 million or 7.10% of total assets at September 30, 2010.

The provision for loan losses of $4.0 million in the third quarter of 2011 increased $250 thousand from $3.7 million in the second quarter of 2011.  The allowance for loan losses (ALLL) decreased $1.1 million to $26.4 million, or 2.66% of total loans, from $27.5 million, or 2.65% of total loans, at June 30, 2011.  This decrease in ALLL was in part the result of the $47.7 million decrease in total loans outstanding at comparative quarter-ends.  Net charge-offs increased sequentially to $5.1 million, or 1.98% of average loans on an annualized basis, from $3.9 million, or 1.46% of average loans on an annualized basis, for the second quarter of 2011; however, compared with the third quarter of 2010, net charge-offs have declined from 3.78% of average loans on an annualized basis.  For the nine months year-to-date in 2011 compared with the prior year-to-date period, net charge-offs have declined to 1.88% from 2.98% of average loans on an annualized basis.  While the overall ALLL level decreased by $1.1 million during the third quarter of 2011 primarily as a result of a $59.7 million decrease in loans collectively evaluated for impairment, the specific allowance for impaired loans decreased by $183 thousand to $2.1 million on a linked quarter basis despite the sequential increase of $12.0 million in the volume of impaired loans individually evaluated for impairment.

 
 

 

Net Interest Income

Net interest income of $12.0 million in the third quarter of 2011 decreased $618 thousand, or 5%, compared to $12.6 million in the second quarter of 2011 as the average balance of interest earning assets declined $29.2 million, or 2%, on a linked quarter basis.  This decline in earning assets was driven by a $24.4 million sequential decrease in average loan balances, resulting from continued customer deleveraging, soft new loan demand and problem loan remediation.  The third quarter 2011 net interest margin of 3.29% declined by 14 basis points on a linked quarter basis as earning asset yields decreased by 20 basis points due to the impact of the shift in earning asset mix caused by the decrease in loan balances.

On a year-over-year basis, net interest income decreased $1.3 million, or 10%, and the net interest margin decreased by ten basis points from 3.39% in the third quarter of 2010.  This decrease in net interest income was due to a $113.7 million decrease in the average balance of earning assets and the six basis point reduction in net interest spread attributable to the shift in the mix of earning assets as $82.3 million of the $196.0 million decrease in average loans was reinvested from loans to lower yielding investments and overnight funds.  The impact of the earning asset mix shift was partially offset by the favorable impact of the cost of deposits repricing downward.

Non-interest Income

Non-interest income decreased by $334 thousand, or 9%, to $3.2 million during the third quarter of 2011 compared with the second quarter of 2011.  The sequential decrease in non-interest income was attributable primarily to $451 thousand decrease in Small Business Investment Company (SBIC) income, $128 thousand decrease in service charge income and a $96 thousand decrease in investment brokerage fee income.  These linked quarter decreases were partially offset by primarily a $216 thousand increase in gains on sales of investment securities and a $52 thousand increase in mortgage banking income.

Compared to the third quarter of 2010, non-interest income increased by $140 thousand, or 5%.  The comparative quarter increase was primarily related to a $716 thousand increase in gains on investment security sales and a $592 thousand increase in the fair value of derivatives.  These comparative quarter increases were partially offset by a $454 thousand decrease in SBIC income, a $408 thousand decrease in mortgage banking income, a $200 thousand decrease in investment brokerage fee income and a $187 thousand decrease in service charge income.

Non-interest Expenses

Non-interest expenses of $10.4 million during the third quarter of 2011 decreased $830 thousand, or 7%, on a linked quarter basis.  The sequential reduction in non-interest expenses was attributable primarily to a $318 thousand decrease in professional services, $218 thousand decrease in advertising, $161 thousand decrease in real estate appraisal expenses, $105 thousand decrease in foreclosure related expenses, $86 thousand decrease in personnel expenses, $41 thousand decrease in FDIC insurance premiums and $32 thousand decrease in occupancy expenses.  Offsetting a portion of these sequential decreases was a $137 thousand decrease in gains on sales of foreclosed assets.

 
 

 

Compared to the third quarter of 2010, non-interest expenses decreased $559 thousand or 5%.  This year-over-year decrease was due primarily to a $551 thousand decrease in salaries and employee benefits, a $206 thousand decrease in professional services, a $92 thousand decrease in real estate appraisal expenses and a $77 thousand decrease in advertising.  These were partially offset primarily by a year-over-year increase of $330 thousand in FDIC insurance premiums.

Balance Sheet

As of September 30, 2011, total assets amounted to $1.55 billion, representing a decrease of $16.0 million, or 1%, compared to June 30, 2011.  Total assets decreased $116.8 million, or 7%, on a year-over-year basis.  The loan portfolio, excluding loans held for sale, decreased by $51.8 million, or 5%, sequentially, and decreased by $197.2 million, or 17%, since September 30, 2010 due to loan remediation activities and weak loan demand resulting from the prolonged economic downturn.  Total deposits of $1.23 billion at September 30, 2011 decreased $18.7 million, or 2%, sequentially primarily due to the $18.2 million outflow of brokered deposits.  While interest bearing deposits decreased $28.8 million on a linked quarter basis, demand deposits increased by $10.1 million, or 8%.

At September 30, 2011, stockholders’ equity of $98.3 million represented 6.36% of total assets.  Stockholders’ equity increased $3.5 million, or 4%, on a linked quarter basis due to net income (before preferred dividends) of $777 thousand and an increase in unrealized gains on available for sale investment securities of $2.8 million.  The regulatory capital ratios for the Bank at September 30, 2011 were in excess of required levels.  During the third quarter, the Bank’s Tier 1 leverage ratio and total risk-based capital ratio increased to 8.76% and 13.35%, respectively, at September 30, 2011 from 8.48% and 12.87%, respectively, at June 30, 2011.
