State Bancorp, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2009 Results


JERICHO, N.Y., April 15, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- State Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") (Nasdaq:STBC), parent company of State Bank of Long Island (the "Bank"), today reported a net loss of $5.1 million, or $0.39 per diluted common share, for the first quarter of 2009 compared with earnings of $3.0 million, or $0.21 per diluted common share, a year ago. The 2009 first quarter loss was primarily attributable to an increase of $8.4 million in the provision for loan and lease losses versus 2008 and a $4.0 million non-cash write-down of a Trust Preferred Collateralized Debt Obligation ("CDO") security previously classified as other than temporarily impaired ("OTTI"). A reduction in operating expenses of $1.0 million partially offsets the higher provision and OTTI charges.

Commenting on the first quarter 2009 results, President and CEO Thomas M. O'Brien stated, "Our first quarter financial performance reflects the continued effects of a weakened loan portfolio. This quarter saw a further increase in non-performing loans, primarily residential construction loans, as has been the case over the course of the past several quarters. While these loans were already on our Watch List, the continued financial toll is not insignificant. We made some fundamental risk acceptance judgments in this segment of our loan portfolio most notably in the period 2004 through early 2007 that have proven in hindsight to present us with aggressive risk profiles. Consequently, both the performance and loss content of these loans remain markedly sub-par. Fortunately, it is a finite portfolio and we will work our way through it. Unfortunately, these risks continue to weigh on our Company's broader financial performance. We are working diligently and forthrightly on remediating these problem assets.

"The absolute level of loan loss provisions remains a frustration and continues to mask the significant improvements we have made in the Company's operating fundamentals. It is unfortunate that we must confront these conditions and our stockholders have every right to be equally frustrated with these outcomes. As reported in prior periods, management significantly bolstered both our credit oversight and underwriting standards. We remain clearly focused on reaching an expedited resolution to these problem loans. I believe the remedial actions we have already taken, coupled with our continuing ability to access debt liquidation markets, are a source of some comfort in our efforts to effectively address these weaknesses. In the first quarter, we wrote down two loan relationships aggregating $10 million in principal balance and transferred the net balance of $7.4 million to loans held for sale. Both of these loans are expected to be sold in the current quarter.

"Although our elevated credit costs have and will most likely continue to command a great deal of our attention, we have made significant strides forward in a number of vitally important areas of our Company. We have devoted considerable effort to enhancing the fundamentals of our business including building increased operating efficiencies, strengthening client relationships and positioning our franchise for long term profitable growth.

"Our operating efficiency ratio continues to exhibit improvement as a result of our now well-established expense management discipline. We continue to extend loans to new and existing credit-worthy clients, partly supported through deployment of capital funds received through the Company's participation in the U.S. Treasury's Capital Purchase Program. The year over year increase in loan balances of $111 million exceeded normal portfolio run off and seasonal pay downs and more than offset the $64 million reduction in outstanding credit resulting from the sale of our former leasing subsidiary's assets in June 2008. Consequently our loan portfolio reflected net growth of $40 million or 3.8% for the first quarter of 2009 compared with the same quarter last year.

"We have been building momentum in our new business development efforts through heightened marketing and focused business calling activities in selected markets, resulting in a deepening of relationships with existing clients and a growing number of attractive customers being added to our client roster. Our total deposits grew to $1.3 billion, an increase of 2.6% over the same quarter of last year.

"Our solid business strategy, entrepreneurial culture and consistent visibility in the market continue to attract highly experienced commercial banking professionals to our Company. We are fortunate to have assembled an energized team of dedicated professionals across our firm who embrace our mission, growth aspirations and our unwavering commitment to distinguish State Bank as the financial company of choice in our target markets.

"Our capital base, at $149 million, remains solid as reflected in a leverage ratio of 9.10% and a tangible common equity ratio of 6.99%.

"While I remain concerned that credit costs will continue to be elevated for the balance of 2009, I believe we have identified the appropriate measures to address this reality. Although this is a difficult time, we are confident that we will manage through it. In my opinion, smart managements are those who are focused in laser-like fashion on cleansing their balance sheets of problematic assets. I believe the markets will eventually appreciate and reward aggressive loss recognition and corporate transparency. While weak earnings are always a cause for concern, I am convinced that it remains a secondary consideration to this aggressive cleansing process.

"We continue to be very cautious in our view of current market conditions and deliberate in the execution of our business plan. I remain convinced that the strategic actions taken to date have been vitally needed and timely as they have resulted in substantial improvement in many operating areas of the Bank. Operating costs are down substantially and our net interest margin at over 4.00% remains healthy. Our capital levels are very strong as is our liquidity. We are well positioned to participate in future economic growth."

Earnings Summary for the Quarter Ended March 31, 2009

The Company recorded a net loss of $5.1 million during the first quarter of 2009 versus earnings of $3.0 million in the comparable 2008 period. Despite a three basis point improvement in the Company's net interest margin to 4.03%, net interest income decreased by $281 thousand or 1.8% to $15.3 million in the first quarter of 2009 versus 2008. This decline resulted from a $30 million reduction in average interest-earning assets in the first quarter of 2009 versus the comparable 2008 period. Partially offsetting the impact of the reduction in earning assets was an improved balance sheet mix from investment securities into higher yielding loans coupled with a 157 basis point decrease in the Company's average cost of interest-bearing liabilities in the first quarter of 2009. The reduction in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities in 2009 resulted from an increase in core deposits coupled with a lower prevailing rate environment in the first quarter of 2009 versus the comparable 2008 period. The Company experienced a $33 million increase in total deposits at March 31, 2009 versus March 31, 2008. This increase, together with the issuance of $29 million in senior unsecured debt due 2012 guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") under the FDIC's Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program ("TLGP") in March 2009, allowed the Company to reduce its reliance on other temporary borrowings in 2009. Federal funds purchased and other temporary borrowings are down $123 million versus March 31, 2008.

The reduction in the Company's 2009 cost of funds was partly offset by a 128 basis point decrease in the Company's earning asset yield to a weighted average rate of 5.21% in the first quarter of 2009. The lower asset yield resulted principally from a 192 basis point reduction in the yield on loans and leases. Gross loans and leases increased by $49 million or 5% to $1.1 billion at March 31, 2009 due to growth of $111 million in the commercial and industrial and commercial mortgage portfolios which more than offset the reduction in outstanding credit resulting from the June 2008 sale of approximately $64 million in leases of the Company's former equipment leasing subsidiary. The securities portfolio decreased by $56 million at March 31, 2009 versus the comparable 2008 period. The average yield on the Company's securities portfolio increased by two basis points to 5.00% in the first quarter of 2009 versus 2008.

The provision for loan and lease losses was $10.0 million in the first quarter of 2009, representing an increase of $8.4 million versus the comparable 2008 period. The increase in the Company's first quarter 2009 provision for loan and lease losses was due to growth in non-accrual loans and leases during the period ended March 31, 2009.

First quarter 2009 total operating expenses were reduced by $968 thousand or 8.7% to $10.2 million compared to the first quarter of 2008. Total operating expenses decreased primarily due to reductions in salaries and other employee benefits of $632 thousand, legal expenses of $1.1 million and other operating expenses of $343 thousand. These reductions were partially offset by increases in audit and assessment expenses of $956 thousand and occupancy costs of $124 thousand.

The decrease in salaries and other employee benefits is primarily the result of an 8% year-over-year reduction in full-time equivalent headcount and a reduction in compensation costs, principally resulting from our past strategic actions to exit non-core businesses. The $1.1 million reduction in legal expenses is due to the outside counsel fees incurred related to the previously disclosed purported shareholder derivative suit settled during the third quarter of 2008. Audit and assessment expenses increased by $956 thousand due to higher FDIC assessment premiums in 2009 combined with the impact of a one-time assessment credit recorded in 2008. Other operating expenses declined principally due to a decrease of $135 thousand related to costs incurred by former subsidiaries of the Company that were closed or sold in 2008. These reductions were offset slightly by an increase in occupancy costs of $124 thousand in the first quarter of 2009 versus 2008 due to higher real estate taxes and depreciation expenses. The Company recorded a $2.5 million income tax benefit in the first quarter of 2009 versus income tax expense of $1.3 million in the comparable period a year ago.

Asset Quality

Non-accrual loans and leases totaled $28 million or 2.54% of loans and leases outstanding at March 31, 2009 versus $12 million or 1.12% of loans and leases outstanding at March 31, 2008 and $16 million or 1.43% of loans and leases outstanding at December 31, 2008. The increase in non-accrual loans and leases at March 31, 2009 compared to March 31, 2008 resulted primarily from two residential construction loan relationships totaling $14 million, two commercial real estate relationships totaling $5 million which had each previously been written down to fair value and transferred to loans held for sale in December 2008 and one commercial real estate relationship totaling $3 million. These additions were reduced by charge-offs of non-accrual loans of $4 million and payments received of $4 million during 2008. The increase in non-accrual loans at March 31, 2009 compared with December 31, 2008 was primarily due to the addition of one of the aforementioned residential construction loans totaling $6 million, one of the aforementioned loans held for sale in the amount of $3 million and the commercial real estate relationship totaling $3 million to non-accrual status in the first quarter of 2009. The allowance as a percentage of non-accrual loans and leases amounted to 91% at March 31, 2009 versus 137% at March 31, 2008 and 116% at December 31, 2008. The decline in the reserve coverage ratio at March 31, 2009 compared to March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2008 was due to the increase in non-accrual loans and leases as previously noted. The Company held no other real estate owned at March 31, 2009, March 31, 2008 or December 31, 2008.

As of March 31, 2009, the Company's allowance for loan and lease losses amounted to $26 million or 2.31% of period-end loans and leases outstanding. The allowance as a percentage of loans and leases outstanding was 1.53% at March 31, 2008 and 1.66% at December 31, 2008. The increase in the allowance as a percentage of the total loan and lease portfolio at March 31, 2009 compared to March 31, 2008 was due to an increase in the provision for loan and lease losses resulting from the higher level of non-accrual loans and leases.

The Company recorded net loan and lease charge-offs of $2.8 million in the first quarter of 2009 versus net recoveries of $100 thousand in the first quarter of 2008 and net charge-offs of $2.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2008. As a percentage of average total loans and leases outstanding, these net amounts represented, on an annualized basis, 1.01% for the first quarter of 2009, (0.04)% for the first quarter of 2008 and 1.04% for the fourth quarter of 2008. Net charge-offs for the first quarter of 2009 and the fourth quarter of 2008 primarily include write-downs of loans that were transferred to loans held for sale.

The Company wrote down a $10 million par value CDO security purchased in February 2004 to $4.8 million in the fourth quarter 2008. In reaching its determination, management engaged an independent outside consultant to conduct a detailed credit and cash flow analysis of the securities underlying the CDO structure. The first quarter 2009 independent review of this bond indicated that there was further weakness in the underlying collateral of this CDO. The review indicated that it was likely that the full principal amount might not be repaid. Therefore, management decided that the appropriate course of action would be to write this bond down to its identifiable market level of 8.25% of par. This resulted in an additional non-cash OTTI charge of $4 million. The net book value of this asset is now $825 thousand on the $10 million par value. While the ultimate cash flow on this investment remains uncertain, the Company believes that its remaining exposure is immaterial no matter how it performs. Currently, the bond continues to pay all of its contractual interest when due.

Capital

Total stockholders' equity was $149 million at March 31, 2009 compared to $116 million at March 31, 2008. The increase is primarily a result of the issuance of $37 million in preferred stock and a warrant under the Treasury's CPP on December 5, 2008. The Company issued to the Treasury 36,842 shares of 5% fixed rate cumulative perpetual preferred stock and a warrant to purchase 465,569 shares of common stock. This increase in capital has allowed the Company to reinforce its commitment to serve the credit needs of our clients and the communities in which we operate.

The Company has $20 million in outstanding trust preferred securities that qualify as Tier I capital. During 2009, the weighted average rate on the Company's trust preferred securities was 4.82% versus 6.88% a year ago. The Company also has $10 million of 8.25% subordinated notes outstanding which qualify as Tier II capital.

The Company's capital ratios exceeded all regulatory requirements at March 31, 2009. The Bank's Tier I leverage, Tier I risk-weighted and total risk-weighted capital ratios were 9.32%, 11.79% and 13.05%, respectively, at March 31, 2009. Each of these ratios significantly exceeds the regulatory guidelines for a "well capitalized" institution, the highest regulatory capital category. Excluding the capital received through the CPP, the Bank would still be considered "well capitalized." The Company's tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio was 6.99% at March 31, 2009 versus 7.06% at March 31, 2008 and 6.91% at December 31, 2008.

The Company did not repurchase any of its common stock in 2009. Under the Board of Directors' existing authorization, an additional 512,348 shares may be repurchased from time to time as conditions warrant. The Company does not presently anticipate repurchasing any of its shares in the immediate future.
