TROY, N.C., Oct. 24, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- First Bancorp (NASDAQ: FBNC), the parent company of First Bank, announced today net income available to common shareholders of $3.7 million, or $0.22 per diluted common share, for the three months ended September 30, 2012, compared to a net loss of $0.7 million, or ($0.04) per diluted common share, recorded in the third quarter of 2011. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company reported net income available to common shareholders of $0.3 million, or $0.01 per diluted common share, compared to net income of $7.3 million, or $0.43 per diluted common share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.
The results for the third quarter of 2011 were negatively impacted by $2.5 million in accelerated accretion of the discount remaining on preferred stock that was redeemed that quarter. Also impacting comparability from 2011 to 2012 was a $10.2 million bargain purchase gain related to the January 2011 acquisition of The Bank of Asheville in Asheville, North Carolina.
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 below, 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 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.
Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
Net interest income for the third quarter of 2012 amounted to $34.5 million, a 2.9% increase from the $33.5 million recorded in the third quarter of 2011. Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 amounted to $99.5 million, a 0.8% decrease from the $100.3 million recorded in the comparable period of 2011.
The Company's net interest margin (tax-equivalent net interest income divided by average earning assets) in the third quarter of 2012 was 4.86%, a seven basis point increase compared to the 4.79% margin realized in the third quarter of 2011 and an 18 basis point increase from the 4.68% margin realized in the second quarter of 2012. The higher margins were primarily a result of higher amounts of discount accretion on loans purchased in failed bank acquisitions recognized during the respective periods, as well as lower overall funding costs. Excluding the discount accretion on purchase loans, the Company's net interest margin was 4.22% for the third quarter of 2012 compared to the same 4.22% in the second quarter of 2012 and 4.31% in the third quarter of 2011. See the Financial Summary for a table that presents the impact of the loan discount accretion, as well as other purchase accounting adjustments. Also see the Financial Summary for a reconciliation of the Company's net interest margin to the net interest margin excluding the loan discount accretion, and the note thereto that explains why this ratio is presented and caution regarding the use of this non-GAAP performance measure. The Company's cost of funds has steadily declined from 0.78% in the third quarter of 2011 to 0.57% in the third quarter of 2012.
For the nine month period ended September 30, 2012, the Company's net interest margin was 4.71% compared to 4.77% for the same period in 2011. The lower margin was primarily due to lower loan yields, as well as the mix of the Company's earning assets being more concentrated in lower yielding short-term investments in 2012 compared to a larger concentration of higher yielding loans and securities in 2011.
Provision for Loan Losses and Asset Quality
The Company recorded total provisions for loan losses of $7.1 million in the third quarter of 2012 compared to $9.1 million for the third quarter of 2011. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company recorded total provisions for loan losses of $35.1 million compared to $31.4 million for the comparable period of 2011.
The provision for loan losses on non-covered loans amounted to $6.0 million in the third quarter of 2012 compared to $6.4 million in the third quarter of 2011. The decline in provision was primarily due to stabilization in the Company's assessment of the losses associated with its nonperforming non-covered loans. For the first nine months of 2012, provision for loan losses on non-covered loans amounted to $29.7 million compared to $21.6 million for the same period of 2011. The higher provision for loan losses was primarily a result of an internal review of non-covered loans that occurred in the first quarter of 2012 that applied more conservative assumptions to estimate the probable losses associated with some of the Company's nonperforming loan relationships, which the Company believes may lead to a more timely resolution of the related credits.
The Company's provisions for loan losses for covered loans amounted to $1.1 million and $2.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $5.4 million and $9.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The lower provisions in 2012 were also due to stabilization in the Company's assessment of the losses associated with its nonperforming covered loans. The majority of the provisions for loan losses on covered loans in 2011 and 2012 relate to loans assumed in the Company's June 2009 acquisition of Cooperative Bank. As previously discussed, the provision for loan losses related to covered loans is offset by an 80% increase to the FDIC indemnification asset, which increases noninterest income.
Total non-covered nonperforming assets amounted to $146 million at September 30, 2012 (4.93% of non-covered total assets) an increase of $27 million from the $119 million recorded at September 30, 2011. Within nonperforming assets, nonaccrual loans declined by $6 million over that time period and foreclosed real estate increased by approximately that same amount. The cause for the increase in non-covered nonperforming assets was an increase in troubled debt restructurings (TDRs), which increased by $27 million. TDRs are accruing loans that the Company has granted concessions to as a result of the borrower's financial difficulties. As part of a routine regulatory exam that concluded in the third quarter of 2012, the Company reclassified approximately $12 million of performing loans to TDR status in the second quarter of 2012 and another $18 million in the third quarter of 2012. Of the $38.5 million of TDRs at September 30, 2012, approximately $37.1 million were current or past due less than thirty days. Other than reclassifying these loans to a nonperforming asset category for disclosure purposes, the reclassifications did not impact the Company's financial statements.
Total covered nonperforming assets have generally declined over that same period, amounting to $114 million at September 30, 2012 compared to $158 million at September 30, 2011. Within this category, foreclosed real estate has declined from $105 million at September 30, 2011 to $58 million at September 30, 2012.
Noninterest Income
Total noninterest income for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was $2.8 million compared to $3.5 million for the comparable period of 2011. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company recorded noninterest income of $9.9 million and $22.8 million, respectively. The significant decrease in noninterest income for the nine month period comparison is primarily the result of the previously discussed $10.2 million bargain purchase gain recorded in the acquisition of The Bank of Asheville during the first quarter of 2011.
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. Core noninterest income for the third quarter of 2012 was $6.8 million, an increase of 14.9% over the $5.9 million reported for the third quarter of 2011. Core noninterest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 amounted to $18.9 million, an increase of 9.2% for the comparable period of 2011. These increases were primarily due to higher debit card usage and mortgage loan refinancing activity.
The Company continues to experience losses and write-downs on its foreclosed properties due to declining property values in its market area. For the third quarter of 2012, these losses amounted to $1.6 million for covered properties compared to $5.2 million in the third quarter of 2011. For each of the nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2012, losses on covered properties amounted to $12.7 million.
Losses on non-covered foreclosed properties amounted to $1.0 million for each of the third quarters of 2011 and 2012. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, losses on non-covered foreclosed properties amounted to $3.0 million compared to $2.5 million for the same period of 2011.
As previously discussed, indemnification asset income (expense) is recorded to reflect additional (decreased) amounts expected to be received from the FDIC due to covered loan and foreclosed property losses arising during the period. In the third quarter of 2012, higher loan discount accretion and relatively low levels of loan and foreclosed property losses on covered assets resulted in a net reduction in the indemnification asset, which resulted in $1.6 million of indemnification asset expense compared to $3.6 million in indemnification asset income recorded in the third quarter of 2011. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, indemnification asset income amounted to $6.1 million compared to $10.5 million for the same period of 2011.
The Company recorded $0.6 million in gains on sales of securities during the first nine months of 2012 compared to $0.1 million in the comparable period of 2011.
Noninterest Expenses
Noninterest expenses amounted to $23.7 million in the third quarter of 2012, a 1.3% decrease from the $24.0 million recorded in the third quarter of 2011. Noninterest expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 amounted to $71.5 million, a 0.6% decrease from the $71.9 million recorded in the first nine months of 2011. During 2012, the Company has emphasized cost control measures to enhance profitability.
Balance Sheet and Capital
Total assets at September 30, 2012 amounted to $3.3 billion, a 0.6% increase from a year earlier. Total loans at September 30, 2012 amounted to $2.4 billion, a 0.4% increase from a year earlier, and total deposits amounted to $2.8 billion at September 30, 2012, a 3.8% increase from a year earlier.
For the fifth consecutive quarter, the Company experienced growth in its non-covered loan portfolio, with non-covered loans increasing by $22 million during the three months ended September 30, 2012. At September 30, 2012, non-covered loans amounted to $2.1 billion, an increase of $78 million, or 3.8%, from a year earlier. The Company is actively pursuing lending opportunities.
The Company's level of non-interest bearing checking accounts amounted to $398.5 million at September 30, 2012, a 19.3% increase from a year earlier, while interest-bearing checking accounts amounted to $482.6 million, an increase of 28.0% from a year earlier. Contributing to the increase in interest-bearing checking accounts was a shift into this category from customer repurchase agreements as a result of the repeal of the prohibition on banks paying interest on commercial deposit accounts. The overall growth in checking and other transaction accounts has allowed the Company to reduce its reliance on higher cost time deposits.
The Company remains well-capitalized by all regulatory standards, with a Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio at September 30, 2012 of 16.26% compared to the 10.00% minimum to be considered well-capitalized. The Company's tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio was 6.46% at September 30, 2012, a decrease of 29 basis points from a year earlier.

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 September 30, 2012, the Company had a remaining loan discount balance of $85.9 million compared to $110.5 million at September 30, 2011. As the balances of the acquired loans 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. |
