Pinnacle Bancshares Announces Results for Third Quarter

November 6, 2009 6:12 PM EST

JASPER, Ala.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Robert B. Nolen, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer of Pinnacle Bancshares, Inc. (OTCBB: PCLB), today announced Pinnacle's third quarter results of operations.

Mr. Nolen stated: "We are pleased with the results for the third quarter which showed an increase in net income of 35%. For the three months ended September 30, 2009, net income was $453,000, compared with net income of $335,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009. Net interest income before the provision for loan losses increased 9% or $159,000 which was the principal reason for the increase in net income."

For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, net loss was $(114,000), compared with net income of $916,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. Net interest income before the provision for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $5,619,000, compared with $5,129,000 in the same period last year.

The net interest margin was 3.93% and 3.80% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively, compared to 3.43% and 3.31% for the three and six months ended September 30, 2008, respectively.

Mr. Nolen also stated: "While we are pleased with our results for the third quarter and are optimistic about the prospect for improvements in the future, we continue to have significant concerns for weakening commercial real estate markets and the overall economy. The provision for loan losses increased from $226,000 and $727,000 in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively, to $281,000 and $2,552,000 in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively. The increase in the provision is primarily related to three credits totaling approximately $6,000,000, which relate to participations in commercial real estate loans. Although each of these loans is currently performing, our management determined that weaknesses in these credits, due principally to significant declines in real estate values, supported a decision to establish these additional reserves."

At September 30, 2009, the Company's allowance for loan losses as a percent of total loans was 2.84%, compared to 1.21% at September 30, 2008 and 1.19% at December 31, 2008. At September 30, 2009, the Company's allowance for loan losses as a percent of nonperforming loans was 624.24%, compared to 909.04% at September 30, 2008 and 971.18% at December 31, 2008. Based on current real estate valuations, Pinnacle believes its allowance for loan losses is adequate. If economic conditions do not improve, additional charge-offs and further significant increases in the allowance may be necessary.

Net charge-offs were $491,000 and $779,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively, compared to $143,000 and $825,000 in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively. Non-performing loans were .45% of loans at September 30, 2009, compared to .13% at September 30, 2008 and .12% at December 31, 2008. Non-performing assets were 0.59% of total assets at September 30, 2009, compared to 1.66% as of September 30, 2008 and 1.20% as of December 31, 2008.

At September 30, 2009, total stockholders' equity and book value per share were $20,851,000 and $16.42 per share, respectively, compared to $20,572,000 and $15.35 per share, respectively, at December 31, 2008. Total assets at September 30, 2009, were $217,053,000, compared to total assets at December 31, 2008, of $225,783,000. Pinnacle's strong equity to assets ratio was 9.61% at September 30, 2009.

Mr. Nolen reminded investors that, although Pinnacle remains well capitalized and has been able to avoid liquidity issues, Pinnacle is operating in a challenging and uncertain economic environment. Financial institutions have been, and continue to be, affected by significant declines in economic conditions and constrained financial markets. Pinnacle retains direct exposure to the residential and commercial real estate markets.

The Company believes declines in economic conditions and financial stresses on borrowers as a result of the uncertain economic environment, including job losses, could have an adverse affect on Pinnacle's borrowers or their customers, which could adversely affect Pinnacle's financial condition and results of operations. In addition, deterioration in local economic conditions in Pinnacle's markets could drive losses beyond those which are provided for in the allowance for loan losses and result in a number of adverse consequences, including increases in loan delinquencies; increases in nonperforming assets; decreases in demand for Pinnacle's products and services, which could affect Pinnacle's liquidity position; and decreases in the value of the collateral securing Pinnacle's loans, which could reduce customers' borrowing power.

Mr. Nolen also observed that on September 29, 2009, the FDIC Board of Directors adopted a notice of proposed rulemaking and request for comment which would require insured depository institutions to repay their quarterly risk-based assessments for the fourth quarter of 2009 and full years 2010 through 2012 on December 29, 2009. This action was taken in connection with the adoption of an Amended Restoration Plan to meet immediate liquidity needs and return the Deposit Insurance Fund to its federally mandated level, without imposing additional special assessments. Further, the prepayment of assessments does not prevent the FDIC from changing assessment rates or revising the risk-based assessment system in future periods.

Pinnacle is generally unable to control the amount of premiums that it is required to pay for FDIC insurance. If there are additional bank or financial institution failures, Pinnacle may be required to pay even higher FDIC premiums than the recently increased levels. Additionally, the FDIC may make material changes to the calculation of the prepaid assessment from the current proposal. Any future changes in the calculation or assessment of FDIC insurance premiums may have a material adverse effect on Pinnacle's results of operations, financial condition and ability to continue to pay dividends on its common shares.

Information contained in this press release, other than historical information, may be considered forward-looking in nature and is subject to various risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or expected.
