TENNESSEE COMMERCE BANCORP REPORTS

THIRD QUARTER 2011 RESULTS

 

FRANKLIN, Tenn. — (November 1, 2011) — Tennessee Commerce Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: TNCC), the bank holding company of Tennessee Commerce Bank (the “Bank”), today reported financial results for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  The Company reported a net loss of $120.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 or $9.83 per diluted common share.

 

The net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was primarily driven by a $92.6 million charge to provision expense during the third quarter.  The increased provision expense is in large part due to preliminary loan losses of $76.3 million combined with $12.1 million of specific reserves on classified loans identified by examiners from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC” and the Tennessee Department of Financial Institutions during their regulatory joint examination started on September 26, 2011, and which is still in progress.  The provision charges made in the third quarter relate to events that occurred in the second quarter.  As a result, we will be restating our second quarter results and amending our second quarter form 10-Q and Bank Call Report to reflect these charges and until such restatement is complete, such second quarter financial statements should not be relied upon.

 

Total assets decreased $262.3 million or 18.0% compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2011.  The decrease in assets was mainly attributable to decreases of $215.6 million or 17.5% in loans, $33.7 million in securities available-for-sale, $16.1 million or 52.6% in repossessed assets offset by increases in cash and cash equivalents of $10.7 million or 51.4% and $12.9 million or 81.7% in other real estate owned.

 

Total deposits decreased $149.8 million or 11.5% compared to the fourth quarter of 2010.  The decrease in deposits was mainly due to savings accounts which decreased $143.3 million or 46.05% while non-interest bearing accounts increased $16.3 million or 63.8%.

 

As it relates to the debt previously contracted transaction on two banks that we disclosed last quarter, we initially disclosed the valuations from both banks to be $30 million as of March 31, 2011.  Since then credit quality at both banks has deteriorated and another independent third party valuation resulted in a lower valuation of $7.8 million as of September 9, 2011 for 100% of both banks. The Bank currently has a 46.0% interest in Farmers Bancorp, Inc., the parent of Farmers Bank of Lynchburg and a 27.1% interest in Commerce Bancshares, Inc. the parent of Peoples State Bank of Commerce.

 

As previously disclosed and as a result of the Bank entering into a written agreement with the FDIC during the second quarter, the Bank has to achieve and maintain a tier 1 leverage capital ratio of 8.50%, a tier 1 risk based capital ratio of 10.00% and a total risk based capital ratio of 11.50% by no later than December 31, 2011.  As a result of the reported net loss through the nine months ended September 30, 2011 the Bank has a tier 1 leverage ratio of 0.95%, a tier 1 risk based capital ratio of 1.17% and a total risk based capital ratio of 2.34%.  The holding company had a tier 1 leverage ratio of 0.42%, a tier 1 risk based capital ratio of 0.52% and a total risk based capital ratio of 1.04%.  For purposes of the Prompt Corrective Action “PCA” provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (the “FDIA”), the Bank will be classified as critically undercapitalized upon the filing of the September 30, 2011 Call Report.  Critically undercapitalized is the lowest category under the PCA spectrum resulting in mandatory actions by the regulators and mandatory restrictions on the Bank’s operations. Under the FDIA, depository institutions that are “critically undercapitalized” can be placed into conservatorship or receivership within 90 days of becoming critically undercapitalized, unless they raise sufficient capital, merge with another financial institution, or the FDIC determines and documents that “other action” would better achieve the purposes of the PCA capital requirements (12 U.S.C. § 1831o).

 

The Bank remains a member of the FDIC, and deposits at the Bank remain insured by the FDIC up to the legal maximum insurance limit – currently $250,000 per depositor, per deposit category.  Our customer service staff can help depositors with any questions about the mechanics of FDIC deposit insurance.

 

Due to the results of the third quarter, the Corporation is retaining Macquarie Capital (U.S.A.) Inc. to assist in evaluating all possible strategic alternatives. FIG Partners will also participate with Macquarie Capital in assisting in the Company’s strategic transactions. The management team of Tennessee Commerce Bancorp, Inc. will host a conference call today at 1:00 PM CT to discuss the results for the quarter.
