NORFOLK, Va., May 16, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hampton Roads Bankshares, Inc. (the "Company") (Nasdaq:HMPRD), the holding company of Bank of Hampton Roads and Shore Bank, today announced financial results for the first quarter of 2011. The Company reported a net loss to common shareholders of $31.7 million for the quarter, compared to a net loss to common shareholders of $40.5 million for the first quarter of 2010. In addition, the Company reported a decline of $46.1 million in nonperforming assets during the quarter, marking the second straight quarterly decline in nonperforming assets.
"We are pleased with the continuing decline in our nonperforming assets," said John A. B. "Andy" Davies, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer. "Our strategic focus remains on exiting the problem assets on our balance sheet while returning the Company to profitability."
As of March 31, 2011, total assets were $2.7 billion, down from $2.9 billion at both December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2010. During the quarter, loans outstanding continued to decline as a result of limited origination activity and resolutions and charge-offs of nonperforming loans. Gross loans ended the quarter at $1.8 billion, compared to $2.0 billion and $2.4 billion at December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2010, respectively. Specifically, construction lending declined over $80 million during the quarter, or nearly 17%, to $395 million at March 31, 2011. Total deposits declined during the first quarter of 2011 to $2.3 billion from $2.4 billion at December 31, 2010 and $2.6 billion at March 31, 2010 as the Company continued to reduce its excess cash position and reduce its reliance on wholesale funding.
As of March 31, 2011, the Company exceeded regulatory capital minimums and Bank of Hampton Roads and Shore Bank were both considered "well-capitalized" under the risk-based capital standards. As of March 31, 2011, the Company's total risk-based capital ratio was 10.73%.
During the quarter, nonperforming assets declined from $315.4 million at December 31, 2010 to $269.3 million at March 31, 2011. Nonperforming assets represented 9.9% of total assets at March 31, 2011, down from 10.9% of total assets at December 31, 2010.
Net interest income for the first quarter of 2011 was $18.2 million, compared to $18.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2010 and $21.9 million for the prior year quarter. Declines in the Company's loan portfolio reduced interest income for the quarter compared to prior quarters, offset somewhat by reductions in both deposit balances and associated deposit costs. The provision for loan losses was $21.3 million for the quarter, compared to $27.9 million and $45.6 million for the quarters ended December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2010, respectively.
Noninterest income improved slightly from $1.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2010 to $2.1 million in the first quarter of 2011 as lower impairments on foreclosed assets offset continued low levels of mortgage banking revenue. Noninterest income in the prior year quarter was $5.6 million, reflecting the low level of foreclosed assets on the balance sheet at that time. Noninterest expense increased during the quarter, from $26.9 million to $30.7 million due primarily to a one time adjustment to FDIC insurance costs of $5.4 million, increased costs related to managing nonperforming assets and continuing high legal expenses.
As previously disclosed, on April 27, 2011, the Company conducted a one for twenty five reverse stock split. All share and per share data for the periods presented have been adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split.
Separately, the Company today requested the withdrawal of its $100 million shelf registration statement filed in October of 2009. The Company has determined that the registration is no longer contemplated as part of its capital plan.
