Access National Reports 50% Increase in First Quarter Earnings, Increases Dividend

RESTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 24, 2012--Access National Corporation (NASDAQ: ANCX), parent company for Access National Bank, reported first quarter net income of $3.4 million, a 50.3% increase over the $2.3 million recorded in the first quarter of 2011. This represents the company’s 47th consecutive quarterly profit over its 12 year history. Net income per dilutive common share was $0.33, an increase of 50.0% over the $0.22 reported in the first quarter of 2011.

Based on record earnings, strong capital and favorable outlook, the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.06 per share, representing the fifth increase over the last six quarters for holders of record as of May 2, 2012 and payable May 25, 2012.

During the first quarter of 2012 the Company experienced continued growth in earnings attributable to both core earnings from the banking segment and record earnings from the mortgage banking segment. Net interest margin for the first quarter of 2012 was 3.91%, up from 3.77% in the fourth quarter of 2011 and 3.55% in the first quarter of 2011.

Return on average assets annualized was 1.66% for the first quarter of 2012 compared to 1.61% for the fourth quarter of 2011 and 1.20% for the first quarter of 2011. Return on average equity annualized was 16.03% for the first quarter of 2012 compared to 15.87% for the fourth quarter of 2011 and 12.53% for the first quarter of 2011.

Loans held for investment totaled $573.3 million, compared to $569.4 million at December 31, 2011 and $497.5 million at March 31, 2011.

Total assets amounted to $804.8 million compared to $809.8 million at December 31, 2011. The decrease in assets was primarily attributable to the payoff of a $30.0 million senior unsecured note that was issued under the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program and was substantially offset by the increase in deposits.

Total deposits increased $22.2 million from $645.0 million at December 31, 2011 to $667.2 million at March 31, 2012. Demand deposits increased $23.0 million to $136.9 million from $113.9 million at December 31, 2011. Savings and interest-bearing deposits increased $11.4 million from December 31, 2011 and time deposits decreased $12.2 million from December 31, 2011. The overall increase in deposits allowed the Company to decrease its borrowings which, coupled with other factors, contributed to the increase in net interest margin.

Non-performing assets (NPA) at March 31, 2012 totaled $5.4 million or 0.66% of total assets, down from $6.7 million and 0.83% of total assets at December 31, 2011. The allowance for loan losses totaled $11.9 million or 2.08% of total loans held for investment and 223.2% of NPA as of March 31, 2012.

Book value per common share increased 16% to $8.37 at March 31, 2012 compared to $7.21 as of the March 31, 2011. The company remains “Well Capitalized” under banking regulations and poised for measured and responsible growth as the total equity to assets ratio was 10.64% at March 31, 2012.
