BRITTON & KOONTZ CAPITAL REPORTS Q3 2011 FINANCIAL RESULTS
Natchez, Mississippi – The Board of Directors of Britton & Koontz Capital Corporation (Nasdaq: BKBK, "the Company") today reported net income/(loss) and earnings per share for the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2011.
The Company reported a net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2011 of $721 thousand, or ($.34) per diluted share, compared to net income of $681 thousand, or $.32 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2010. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2011, net income and diluted earnings per share were $84 thousand and $0.04, respectively, compared to $1.2 million and $0.58, respectively, for the same period in 2010. The loss for the three months ended September 30, 2011, is due primarily to a loan loss provision expense of approximately $3.4 million for the quarter, partially offset by a $1.3 million increase in gains on the sale of investment securities. Reduced earnings for the nine month period is due to the aforementioned $3.4 million provision expense in the 3rd quarter of 2011 and lower net interest income of $1.1 million, offset by $2.2 million in year-to-date gains on the sale of investment securities.
Net interest income for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011, decreased $412 thousand and $1.1 million, respectively, over the same period in 2010. The decline for both periods is primarily due to a shift in the mix of earning assets to lower yielding assets coupled with a loss of interest on specific non-accrual loans of approximately $225 thousand. The continued lower interest rate environment during 2011 provided limited reinvestment opportunity of cash flows back into the investment market and contributed to the $50.3 million increase in cash reserves at the Federal Reserve Bank at September 30, 2011, as compared to the balance at September 30, 2010. Interest rate spread and margin declined during both comparative periods as the yield on earning assets declined at a greater pace than cost of interest-bearing liabilities. Interest rate spread declined 41 and 35 basis points to 2.81% and 2.92% for the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2011, respectively. Interest rate margin declined 48 and 40 basis points to 3.12% and 3.25% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively.
Non-interest income increased $1.1 million for the 3rd quarter of 2011 compared to the 3rd quarter of 2010 primarily from the sale of investment securities. The Company sold approximately $16 million of investment securities in the 3rd quarter of 2011, recording a gain of $1.3 million. Additionally, the 3rd quarter of 2010 included $139 thousand on gains from the sales of other real estate compared to no gains on sales of other real estate in 2011. Non-interest income increased to $5.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, from $3.3 million during the same period in 2010. The increase is primarily due to a $2.2 million increase in gains on sales of investment securities in 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. In 2010, gains on sale of other real estate were $606 thousand. Non-interest expense decreased $426 thousand for the 3rd quarter of 2011 compared to the 3rd quarter of 2010, while the decline was $870 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010. Decreases in personnel costs and FDIC assessment expense as well as lower provision expense for loan and late fees associated with the loan portfolio contributed to the decline in non-interest expense for both the three and nine month periods.
Non-performing assets, which include non-accrual loans, loans delinquent 90 days or more, troubled debt restructurings and other real estate, increased to $16.2 million, or 4.35% of total assets, at September 30, 2011, from $11.3 million, or 3.01% of total assets at December 31, 2010. Net loan charge-offs of $1.0 million, or .50% of average loans, through the nine months ended September 30, 2011, decreased from $2.6 million, or 1.18% of average loans, during the same period in 2010. However, in spite of the improved charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2011, increased to $6.1 million, or 3.17% of total loans, from $2.4 million, or 1.15% of total loans, at December 31, 2010. The increase in the allowance reflects an increase in the loan loss provision primarily in the 3rd quarter of 2011.
The increase in non-performing assets is chiefly the result of the transfer of one commercial real estate related loan originated in the Company’s Baton Rouge, Louisiana office to non-accrual status during the 3rd quarter of 2011. The increased provision for loan losses is primarily attributable to estimated exposure on this credit, as well as the reassessment of a previously impaired loan and adjustments to historical loss and qualitative factors in the general reserve calculation to reflect current economic conditions in the Company’s markets. The Company determined to transfer the above-mentioned credit to non-accrual status based on current project financial information and internal adjustments to a prior appraisal. The Company also ordered an independent appraisal of the real estate collateral securing this credit, although the Company has not yet received the appraisal as of the date of this release. However, experience with recent independent appraisals reflects a significant downward valuation trend in keeping with the general negative economic environment.
The Company’s Regulatory Tier 1 Capital of $42 million, or approximately 18% of risk weighted assets, substantially exceeds the approximate $9 million, or 4%, minimum regulatory capital requirements.
