STELLARONE REPORTS SECOND QUARTER EARNINGS UP 29.4% TO $6.3 MILLION OR $0.28 PER DILUTED SHARE
 
Charlottesville, VA July 25, 2013 –StellarOne Corporation (NASDAQ: STEL) (“StellarOne”), today reported second quarter 2013 net income of $6.3 million, or $0.28 net income per diluted common share. This represents a 29.4% increase over net income of $4.9 million or $0.21 per diluted common share recognized during the same quarter in the prior year, and represents a 6.9% increase over net income of $5.9 million or $0.26 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2013.

For the six months ended June 30, 2013, earnings were $12.2 million or $0.53 per diluted common share, up 17.8% compared to $10.4 million or $0.45 per diluted common share in 2012.

On June 10, 2013 StellarOne announced that it will merge with Union First Market Bankshares Corporation (NASDAQ: UBSH, or “Union”), creating the largest community banking institution in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Under the terms of the agreement, Union will acquire StellarOne, with common shareholders of StellarOne receiving 0.9739 shares of Union common stock for each share of StellarOne. The transaction is subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals, and is expected to close on or around January 1, 2014.

“The quarter marked a significant event in our company’s history with the announced merger with Union. This merger represents a tremendous opportunity to create Virginia’s next great bank which will benefit our customers, shareholders and employees” said O. R. Barham, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer.  “While not indicative of future performance, the market has reacted favorably to the combination as evidenced by our stock’s performance since our announcement. We have begun the process to seek required approvals from shareholders and regulators and have commenced to collaborate on integration plans.”

"Our second quarter results are indicative of our commitment to continue our positive momentum as we begin to focus on integrating our fine companies. The quarterly results note improving profitability metrics and asset quality levels, loan growth coupled with strong wealth management and mortgage revenues allowed for a relatively stable net interest margin and resulting revenue growth over both the previous quarter and same quarter last year."
 
Second quarter financial performance highlights included:
  • Earning were impacted by $871 thousand in merger related expenses for the quarter associated with the announced merger with Union.
  • Operating earnings for the quarter, excluding the impact of such merger costs, were $7.2 million or $0.32 per diluted share and the ROA and ROE associated with the operating earnings were 0.97% and 6.83% or up from 0.67% and 4.67% when compared to the second quarter of 2012, respectively.
  • Revenue growth improved, with net revenues totaling $32.8 million, up $765 thousand or 2.4% as compared to $32.0 million for second quarter last year.
  • Pre-tax, pre-provision earning were $9.5 million, up $720 thousand or 8.2% over the $8.8 million recognized for the second quarter last year.
  • Total loans increased 7.2% compared to the second quarter of 2012 and 1.9% compared to the first quarter of 2013 due primarily to organic loan growth in the Construction and Commercial Real Estate portfolios.
  • Nonperforming asset levels improved to $30.2 million, a decrease of $12.3 million or 29.0% from 2012, lowering the ratio of non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets to 1.0% as of June 30, 2013, compared to 1.43% as of June 30, 2012.
  • Annualized net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans receivable amounted to 0.24% for the second quarter of 2013, down from 0.28% for the first quarter of 2013 and down from 0.56% for same quarter last year.
Net Interest Margin Contracts Slightly

The net interest margin was 3.73% for the second quarter of 2013, compared to 3.78% for the first quarter of 2013 and 3.84% for the second quarter of 2012.  The average yield on earning assets for the current quarter decreased 10 basis points to 4.27% on a sequential basis.  Loan and investment yields contracted 15 basis points and 3 basis points, respectively, on a sequential basis.  Loan yields contracted due to re-pricing within the current portfolio and reduced yields on new production.  Investment yields contracted due to lower yields realized on the recent investment activity in the current low rate environment.  Continued reductions in deposit costs are reflected by the 6 basis point improvement in the cost of interest bearing liabilities noted sequentially, moving from 0.72% during the first quarter of 2013 to 0.66% during the second quarter of 2013.  Revenue associated with net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis remained stable at $25.0 million for the second quarter of 2013, compared to $24.9 million for the second quarter last year and $24.9 million in the first quarter of 2013.

Operating Noninterest Income Increases

On an operating basis, which excludes gains and losses from sales and impairments of securities and other assets, total non-interest income amounted to $7.8 million for the second quarter of 2013, up $397 thousand or 5.3% on a sequential basis compared to $7.4 million for the first quarter of 2013, and up $779 thousand or 11.0% compared to the second quarter last year. The sequential quarter increase in operating noninterest income stemmed largely from continued strong production volumes from our mortgage segment.  The majority of the increase for the same quarter compared to the prior year is related to increases in wealth management fee income, insurance income, retail banking fees and loan swap fee income.

Mortgage banking-related fees totaled $1.9 million for the second quarter of 2013, or up $92 thousand or 5.0% compared to $1.8 million for the first quarter of 2013 and up $546 thousand, or 39.5%, compared to $1.4 million in the same quarter in 2012.  Loans sold in the second quarter of 2013 totaled $76.6 million or down $2.4 million or 3.0% from the $79.0 million sold during the first quarter of 2013. The mortgage segment contributed after-tax earnings of $701 thousand for the current quarter, compared to $482 thousand last quarter, and $209 thousand for same quarter last year.

Losses on foreclosed assets were $244 thousand for the quarter, an increase of $25 thousand or 11.4% compared to $219 thousand for the same quarter in 2012.  Other operating income decreased $250 thousand during the quarter due to a contraction of revenues associated with commercial lending loan swap fee income.

Retail banking fee income totaled $3.5 million for the second quarter of 2013, an increase of $404 thousand or 13.2% sequentially and increased $190 thousand or 5.8% over the same quarter in 2012.  An increase in overdraft revenue led to the sequential and year over year increases while all other retail banking revenue streams remained stable when compared to both periods.

Wealth management revenues from trust and brokerage fees for the second quarter of 2013 were $1.39 million or up $161 thousand or 13.1% on a sequential quarter basis and up $207 thousand or 17.5% when compared to the second quarter of 2012. Revenue increases for both comparisons are a result of higher fee realizations and growth in assets. Fiduciary assets amounted to $539.7 million at June 30, 2013, compared to $456.6 million at December 31, 2013. After-tax earnings were $271 thousand for the quarter, compared to $135 thousand sequentially and $101 thousand for the same quarter last year.

Net Charge-Offs Decrease and Overall Asset Quality Improves

Non-performing assets totaled $30.2 million at June 30, 2013, down $7.7 million or 20.3% sequentially from $37.9 million at March 31, 2013 and down $12.3 million or 29.0% compared to $42.5 million at June 30, 2012.  The ratio of non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets dropped to 1.0% as of June 30, 2013, compared to 1.36% as of March 31, 2013 and was also down when compared to 1.43% at June 30, 2012.

Net charge-offs for the second quarter of 2013 totaled $1.3 million, decreased $175 thousand or 11.9% compared to the $1.5 million for the first quarter of 2013 and down $1.6 million or 54.8% when compared to $2.9 million for the second quarter of 2012.  Annualized net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans receivable amounted to 0.24% for the second quarter of 2013, down from 0.28% for the first quarter of 2013 and down from 0.56% for the second quarter of 2012.  StellarOne recorded a credit to the provision for loan losses of $385 thousand for the second quarter of 2013, a decrease of $1.1 million compared to the $700 thousand charged for the first quarter of 2013 and a decrease of $1.8 million compared to the second quarter of 2012.  The decreased provisioning throughout 2013 is reflective of the continued improvement in underlying credit quality metrics used in measuring the risk inherent in the loan portfolio.

The allowance as a percentage of non-performing loans was 104.7% at June 30, 2013, or higher than the 92.3% at March 31, 2013. The allowance for loan losses was $27.4 million at June 30, 2013, compared to $29.1 million at March 31, 2013. The allowance as a percentage of total loans was 1.25% at June 30, 2013, compared to 1.36% at March 31, 2013.

Foreclosed assets totaled $4.1 million at June 30, 2013, down $2.3 million or 35.9% compared to $6.4 million at March 31, 2013 and down $2.9 million or 41.6% compared to $7.0 million at June 30, 2012.

Included in the loan portfolio at June 30, 2013, are loans classified as troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) totaling $20.6 million or 0.94% of total loans.  TDRs were reduced sequentially by 10.7% or $2.4 million as compared to $23.0 million at March 31, 2013. At June 30, 2013, $18.5 million or 89.8% of total TDRs were performing under the modified terms.

Operating Expenses Increase on Merger Costs

Noninterest expenses were $23.3 million for the second quarter of 2013, up sequentially by $483 thousand or 2.1% compared to $22.8 million in the first quarter of 2013, and down $45 thousand or 0.2% compared to second quarter of 2012.

The sequential quarter increase in noninterest expense was driven by $871 thousand in merger related costs associated with pending merger with Union. Excluding the non-recurring merger costs, operating expenses would have been $22.4 million, down $389 thousand or 1.7% sequentially, and down $826 thousand or 3.6% compared to same quarter last year. Compensation and benefits were $12.0 million for the second quarter of 2013, down sequentially by $444 thousand or 3.6% compared to $12.4 million in the first quarter of 2013, and down $843 thousand or 6.6% compared to second quarter of 2012. The decrease sequentially was attributable to a reduction in incentive costs and ongoing efficiency efforts. The decrease relative to 2012 was related to $824 thousand in severance costs incurred in second quarter 2012, along with ongoing efficiency initiatives.

The efficiency ratio was 66.81% for the second quarter of 2013, compared to 69.19% for the first quarter of 2013 and 70.74% for the same quarter in 2012.  The sequential quarter improvement reflects revenue growth for the quarter coupled with lower operating expenses.   The year over year decrease reflects similar trends, improved revenue and operating expenses, but also reflects the impact of severance costs on the second quarter 2012 efficiency ratio.

Effective Tax Rate

The provision for income taxes was $2.9 million for the second quarter of 2013 compared to $2.3 million for the first quarter of 2013, and $1.8 million for the same quarter last year. This produced an effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2013 of 31.6% compared to 27.6% for the prior quarter and 26.6% for same quarter last year. The increase in the tax rate as compared to sequential and prior year effective tax rates was due to the impact of $758 thousand in merger costs incurred during the quarter which are non-deductible for tax purposes.  For the first six months of 2013 the effective rate was 29.7%, compared to 27.2% for same period prior year.

Balance Sheet Trends

Period end loans increased $41.5 million sequentially or 1.94% compared to the first quarter of 2013, while average loans for the second quarter of 2013 were $2.16 billion, up $47.1 million or 2.23% compared to the first quarter of 2013.  Average securities were $487.7 million for the second quarter, down $23.6 million or 4.6% from $511.3 million for the second quarter of 2012. Average deposits for the second quarter of 2013 were $2.5 billion or essentially flat on a sequential quarter basis compared to the first quarter of 2013.  Average interest and noninterest bearing demand deposit accounts were $1.0 billion at June 30, 2013, an $18.8 million or 1.91% increase over March 31, 2013.  At June 30, 2013, total period end assets were $3.0 billion, compared to $3.0 billion at March 31, 2013. Period end cash and cash equivalents were $51.7 million at June 30, 2013, a decrease of $14.8 million or 22.3% compared to $66.5 million at March 31, 2013.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This report refers to the efficiency ratio, which is computed by calculating noninterest expense less amortization of intangibles and goodwill impairments and dividing this by the sum of net interest income on a tax equivalent basis and non-interest income excluding gains on securities and losses on foreclosed assets. The report also refers to operating earnings and noninterest income, which reflects both earnings and noninterest income adjusted for non-recurring expenses associated with asset gains and losses or expenses that are unusual in nature.  Comparison of our efficiency ratio and operating earnings with those of other companies may not be possible because other companies may calculate them differently.  Pre-tax, pre-provision earnings, which adjusts for tax equivalent items and adds back provision and tax expense to net income, is used to demonstrate a more representative comparison of operational performance without the volatility of credit quality that is typically present in times of economic stress. The tangible common equity ratio is used by management to assess the quality of capital and management believes that investors may find it useful in their analysis of the company. This capital measure is not necessarily comparable to similar capital measures that may be presented by other companies. Such information is not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and should not be construed as such. These are non-GAAP financial measures that management believes provide investors with important information regarding operational efficiency. Management believes such financial information is meaningful to the reader in understanding operating performance, but cautions that such information should not be viewed as a substitute for GAAP. StellarOne, in referring to its net income, is referring to income under GAAP.
