SOUTHERN PINES, N.C., July 30, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- First Bancorp (NASDAQ: FBNC), the parent company of First Bank, announced today net income available to common shareholders of $6.4 million, or $0.32 per diluted common share, for the three months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of 19.7% compared to the $5.4 million, or $0.27 per diluted common share, recorded in the second quarter of 2013. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company recorded net income available to common shareholders of $11.9 million, or $0.59 per diluted common share, an increase of 44.5% compared to the $8.2 million, or $0.41 per diluted common share, for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The higher earnings were primarily the result of lower provisions for loan losses.
Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
Net interest income for the second quarter of 2014 amounted to $33.8 million, a 5.0% decrease from the $35.6 million recorded in the second quarter of 2013. Net interest income for the first six months of 2014 amounted to $69.3 million, a 2.7% increase from the $67.5 million recorded in the comparable period of 2013.
The Company's net interest margin (tax-equivalent net interest income divided by average earning assets) in the second quarter of 2014 was 4.65% compared to 5.10% for the second quarter of 2013. For the six month period ended June 30, 2014, the Company's net interest margin was 4.89% compared to 4.90% for the same period in 2013. The 4.65% net interest margin for the second quarter of 2014 was a 48 basis point decrease from the 5.13% margin realized in the first quarter of 2014. The lower margin realized in the second quarter of 2014 was primarily due to a lower amount of discount accretion on loans purchased in failed-bank acquisitions and lower average asset yields – see additional discussion below. As shown in the accompanying tables, loan discount accretion amounted to $4.9 million in the second quarter of 2014, $6.4 million in the first quarter of 2014, and $6.6 million in the second quarter of 2013. For the first six months of 2014, loan discount accretion amounted to $11.3 million compared to $10.3 million for the first six months of 2013.
Excluding the effects of discount accretion on purchased loans, the Company's net interest margin amounted to 3.99% for the second quarter of 2014, 4.22% for the first quarter of 2014, and 4.17% for the second quarter of 2013. The lower margin realized during the second quarter of 2014 was due primarily to lower loan yields and a higher mix of the Company's earning assets being maintained in highly liquid accounts that earn relatively little interest. See the Financial Summary for a table that presents the impact of loan discount accretion, as well as other purchase accounting adjustments affecting net interest income. Also see the Financial Summary for a reconciliation of the Company's net interest margin to the net interest margin excluding loan discount accretion, and other information regarding this ratio.
The Company's cost of funds has steadily declined from 0.41% in the second quarter of 2013 to 0.30% in the second quarter of 2014, which has had a positive impact on the Company's net interest margin.
Provision for Loan Losses and Asset Quality
The Company recorded total provisions for loan losses of $3.7 million in the second quarter of 2014 compared to $5.6 million for the second quarter of 2013. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company recorded total provisions for loan losses of $7.2 million compared to $16.7 million for the same period of 2013. As discussed below, the decrease in 2014 was primarily the result of decreased provision for loan losses on non-covered loans recorded in 2014 – see explanation of the terms "non-covered" and "covered" in the section below entitled "Note Regarding Components of Earnings."
The provision for loan losses on non-covered loans amounted to $1.2 million in the second quarter of 2014 compared to $4.0 million in the second quarter of 2013. For the first six months of 2014, the provision for loan losses on non-covered loans amounted to $4.5 million compared to $9.8 million for the same period of 2013. The lower provisions recorded in 2014 have been a result of low loan growth and stable asset quality trends.
The provision for loan losses on covered loans amounted to $2.5 million in the second quarter of 2014 compared to $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2013. The higher provision in 2014 is primarily the result of several large loans that experienced losses during the quarter. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the provision for loan losses on covered loans amounted to $2.7 million compared to $6.9 million for the same period of 2013. The decrease in 2014 was primarily due to lower levels of covered nonperforming loans during the period, stabilization in the underlying collateral values of nonperforming loans, and a $1.9 million recovery that the Company realized in the first quarter of 2014.
Total non-covered nonperforming assets have remained relatively unchanged over the past year, amounting to $84.1 million at June 30, 2014 (2.73% of total non-covered assets), $82.2 million at March 31, 2014 and $79.1 million at June 30, 2013 (2.66% of total non-covered assets).
Total covered nonperforming assets have steadily declined in the past year, amounting to $39.1 million at June 30, 2014 compared to $58.9 million at March 31, 2014 and $89.1 million at June 30, 2013. Over the past twelve months, the Company has resolved a significant amount of covered loans and has experienced strong property sales along the North Carolina coast, which is where most of the Company's covered assets are located.
Noninterest Income
Total noninterest income for the three months ended June 30, 2014 was $5.0 million compared to $4.5 million for the comparable period of 2013. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, noninterest income amounted to $5.3 million compared to $11.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013.
Core noninterest income for the second quarter of 2014 was $7.8 million, an increase of 8.6% over the $7.2 million reported for the second quarter of 2013. For the first six months of 2014, core noninterest income amounted to $15.3 million, an 11.9% increase from the $13.7 million recorded in the comparable period of 2013. Core noninterest income includes i) service charges on deposit accounts, ii) other service charges, commissions, and fees, iii) fees from presold mortgages, iv) commissions from financial product sales, and v) bank-owned life insurance income. The primary factors that resulted in the increases in core noninterest income in 2014 were higher service charges on deposit accounts and higher debit and credit card interchange fees. Service charges on deposit accounts have increased primarily as a result of the December 2013 introduction of a new deposit product line-up that simplified the Company's product offering and also altered the fee structure of many accounts. The increase in debit and credit card interchange fees is due to growth in the number and usage of debit and credit cards.
Noncore components of noninterest income resulted in net losses of $2.9 million in the second quarter of 2014 compared to net losses of $2.7 million in the second quarter of 2013. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded net losses of $10.0 million and $2.1 million, respectively, related to the noncore components of noninterest income. The largest variances related to foreclosed property gains/losses and indemnification asset income (expense) – see discussion below.
The Company experienced losses on non-covered foreclosed properties of $0.6 million and $0.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, compared to gains of $0.8 million and $1.5 million for the same periods of 2013. In the second quarter of 2014, the Company had a significant write-down associated with one property and incurred losses on the sale of several of its least desirable properties. In 2013, the Company experienced several large gains related to the sale of properties along the North Carolina coast that recovered in value.
Losses on covered foreclosed properties were $1.2 million and $3.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, compared to losses of $0.5 million and $5.1 million for the same periods of 2013. Losses on covered foreclosed properties have generally declined over the past several years as a result of stabilization in property values and declining numbers of properties held by the Company. In the second quarter of 2014, the Company sold many of its least desirable covered foreclosed properties at amounts that resulted in losses.
Indemnification asset income (expense) is recorded to reflect additional (decreased) amounts expected to be received from the FDIC during the period related to covered assets. The three primary items that result in recording indemnification asset income (expense) are 1) income from loan discount accretion, which results in indemnification expense, 2) provisions for loan losses on covered loans, which result in indemnification income and 3) foreclosed property losses on covered assets, which also result in indemnification income. In the second quarter of 2014, the Company recorded $1.6 million in indemnification asset expense compared to $3.4 million in indemnification asset expense in the second quarter of 2013. The variance was because in the second quarter of 2014, higher amounts of loan and foreclosed property losses resulted in more indemnification income compared to the second quarter of 2013, which lessened the indemnification expense associated with loan discount accretion income to a greater degree. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, indemnification asset expense amounted to $6.5 million compared to indemnification asset income of $1.5 million for the same period of 2013. The variance was primarily caused by higher amounts of covered losses experienced in 2013 that resulted in the recording of indemnification income. See additional discussion related to this matter in the section below entitled "Note Regarding Components of Earnings."
During the second quarter of 2014, the Company realized $0.8 million in securities gains.
Noninterest Expenses
Noninterest expenses amounted to $24.8 million in the second quarter of 2014 compared to $25.8 million recorded in the second quarter of 2013. Noninterest expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2014 amounted to $48.3 million compared to $49.0 million recorded in the first half of 2013. The decreases in 2014 were due primarily to the Company accruing $1.6 million in severance expenses in the second quarter of 2013 (included in "other operating expenses" in the accompanying tables).
Balance Sheet and Capital
Total assets at June 30, 2014 amounted to $3.3 billion, a 0.6% increase from a year earlier. Total loans at June 30, 2014 amounted to $2.4 billion, a 0.1% increase from a year earlier, and total deposits amounted to $2.8 billion at June 30, 2014, a 2.3% decrease from a year earlier.
Non-covered loans increased 3.1% from June 30, 2013 to June 30, 2014. Since January 1, 2014, growth in non-covered loans has slowed, with the progressive decline in covered loans outpacing non-covered loan growth. Strong competition in the marketplace for high quality loans has contributed to the low growth.
The lower amount of deposits at June 30, 2014 compared to June 30, 2013 was primarily due to declines in retail time deposits (called "other time deposits" and "other time deposits > $100,000" in the accompanying tables), with increases in checking accounts offsetting a large portion of the decline. Retail time deposits are generally one of the Company's most expensive funding sources, and thus the shift from this category benefited the Company's overall cost of funds.
The Company obtained $70 million in new borrowings in the first quarter of 2014 from a low cost funding source in order to offset declines in time deposit balances, and in anticipation of future loan growth. At June 30, 2014, borrowings totaled $116.4 million, compared to $46.4 million a year earlier.
The Company remains well-capitalized by all regulatory standards, with a Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio at June 30, 2014 of 17.14% compared to the 10.00% minimum to be considered well-capitalized. The Company's tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio was 7.57% at June 30, 2014, an increase of 64 basis points from a year earlier.
Expiration of Loss-Share Agreement with the FDIC
The Company's loss-sharing agreement with the FDIC related to non-single family loans and foreclosed properties that were assumed in a failed bank acquisition in 2009 expired on July 1, 2014. The Company will bear all future losses on these assets, however, at present, management does not expect such losses will be materially in excess of related loan loss allowances. The following presents information related to these assets as of or for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, which continue to be included within the "covered" line items in the accompanying tables. In the future, these assets will be included in the "non-covered" categories.

Comments of the President and Other Business Matters
Richard H. Moore, President and CEO of First Bancorp, commented on today's report, "Today's earnings report reflects another strong quarter for our company. I am optimistic that this momentum will continue. We thank our customers for your business, and we continue to work hard to earn that privilege."
The following is a list of business development and other miscellaneous matters affecting the Company:
- On June 16, 2014, the Company announced a quarterly cash dividend of $0.08 cents per share payable on July 25, 2014 to shareholders of record on June 30, 2014. This is the same dividend rate as the Company declared in the second quarter of 2013.
- On May 19, 2014, the Company opened a full-service branch in Fuquay-Varina, North Carolina. The new branch is located at 125 North Main Street.
- The Company is planning to construct a new branch facility at 4110 Bradham Drive, Jacksonville, North Carolina. Upon completion, the First Bank branch located on Western Boulevard will be closed and the accounts serviced at that branch will be reassigned to the new and improved branch. This is expected to occur in the first quarter of 2015 and is subject to regulatory approval.
Note Regarding Components of Earnings
The Company's results of operation are significantly affected by the on-going accounting for two FDIC-assisted failed bank acquisitions. In the discussion above, the term "covered" is used to describe assets included as part of FDIC loss share agreements, which generally result in the FDIC reimbursing the Company for 80% of losses incurred on those assets. The term "non-covered" refers to the Company's legacy assets, which are not included in any type of loss share arrangement.
For covered loans that deteriorate in terms of repayment expectations, the Company records immediate allowances through the provision for loan losses. For covered loans that experience favorable changes in credit quality compared to what was expected at the acquisition date, including loans that payoff, the Company records positive adjustments to interest income over the life of the respective loan – also referred to as loan discount accretion. For covered foreclosed properties that are sold at gains or losses or that are written down to lower values, the Company records the gains/losses within noninterest income.
The adjustments discussed above are recorded within the income statement line items noted without consideration of the FDIC loss share agreements. Because favorable changes in covered assets result in lower expected FDIC claims, and unfavorable changes in covered assets result in higher expected FDIC claims, the FDIC indemnification asset is adjusted to reflect those expectations. The net increase or decrease in the indemnification asset is reflected within noninterest income.
The adjustments noted above can result in volatility within individual income statement line items. Because of the FDIC loss share agreements and the associated indemnification asset, pretax income resulting from amounts recorded as provisions for loan losses on covered loans, discount accretion, and losses from covered foreclosed properties is generally only impacted by 20% of these amounts due to the corresponding adjustments made to the indemnification asset.

This amount reflects the tax benefit that the Company receives related to its tax-exempt loans and securities, which carry interest rates lower than similar taxable investments due to their tax-exempt status. This amount has been computed assuming a 39% tax rate and is reduced by the related nondeductible portion of interest expense. |

| Note: The measure "tax-equivalent net interest margin, excluding impact of loan discount accretion" is a non-GAAP performance measure. Management of the Company believes that it is useful to calculate and present the Company's net interest margin without the impact of loan discount accretion for the reasons explained in the remainder of this paragraph. Loan discount accretion is a non-cash interest income adjustment related to the Company's acquisition of two failed banks and represents the portion of the fair value discount that was initially recorded on the acquired loans that is being recognized into income over the lives of the loans. At June 30, 2014, the Company had a remaining loan discount balance of $25.8 million compared to $53.3 million at June 30, 2013. For the related loans that perform and pay-down over time, the loan discount will also be reduced, with a corresponding increase to interest income. Therefore management of the Company believes it is useful to also present this ratio to reflect the Company's net interest margin excluding this non-cash, temporary loan discount accretion adjustment to aid investors in comparing financial results between periods. The Company cautions that non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the Company's reported GAAP results. |
