Virginia Commerce Bancorp, Inc. Reports Third Quarter Results

October 27, 2009 6:00 AM EDT

ARLINGTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Virginia Commerce Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") (Nasdaq: VCBI), parent company of Virginia Commerce Bank (the "Bank"), today reported a net loss of $31.1 million, or $1.17 per diluted common share, for the third quarter of 2009, compared with earnings of $2.7 million, or $0.10 per diluted common share, for the same period in 2008. The third quarter loss was primarily due to $49.0 million in provisions for loan losses versus $8.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008, and a $9.1 million loss on other real estate owned. Total non-performing assets and loans 90+ days past due decreased $16.1 million from June 30, 2009, and net-charge-offs of $17.9 million were taken during the quarter. With this increase in provisions, the allowance for loan losses rose from 1.72% of total loans as of June 30, 2009, to 3.15% as of September 30, 2009.

Peter A. Converse, Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are pleased to report ongoing progress in reducing non-performing assets and loans 90+ days past due, as the total has declined for two consecutive quarters from $162.1 million as of March 31, 2009, to $123.5 million this quarter-end. For the current quarter, non-accrual loans decreased $20.9 million and loans 90+ days past due decreased $3.3 million, while other real estate owned increased by $8.2 million. Management remains cautiously optimistic that asset quality will continue to improve."

Converse continued, "Improving credit metrics undoubtedly are being achieved at the expense of increased loan loss reserve provisioning and charge-offs, as we remain focused on aggressive problem loan resolution. In analyzing the level of our reserves relative to existing problem credits, peer group coverage ratios and the uncertain pace of economic recovery, we determined that increasing reserves with a provision of $49 million was warranted. While that provision significantly impacted earnings, it more than doubled our non-performing loan coverage ratio to 80.5 %, which we feel provides adequate cushion. It should not be interpreted, however, as an indication of heightened concern by management about large, imminent losses or increasing deterioration in the loan portfolio. Rather, management felt it was a prudent risk management measure that positions our Bank in line with current industry and peer standards."

"Despite the substantive costs of working out problem loans, we are encouraged by the strength of our core operating earnings, which have increased over the last two quarters from $9.6 million in the first quarter to $12.0 million this quarter. We expect that these earnings will remain in the $10-12 million range for the foreseeable future and consider them indicative of our bottom line potential once we get beyond our credit issues. Contributing to core earnings performance has been a rising net interest margin, which increased sequentially from 3.35% to 3.52%. The improving margin in turn has benefited from continued improvement in our deposit mix. Certificates of deposit as a percent of total deposits have declined further, from a high of 67.2% at year-end 2008, to 49.9% this quarter, as we enjoy greater success in generating lower cost deposits. Core earnings also continue to benefit from vigilant cost containment, exclusive of collection costs."

Converse concluded, "The loss this quarter is disappointing to say the least. However, it has enabled us to raise the allowance for loan losses to a level that provides prudent coverage of the risk in our non-performing loans and overall portfolio, thereby positioning us for a quicker return to profitability. While absorbing losses year-to-date in addressing problem loans and building reserves, the Company has remained well-capitalized with the Tier 1 capital ratio at 11.53% and the total qualifying capital ratio at 12.78% as of September 30."

SUMMARY REVIEW OF FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

Net (Loss) Income

For the three months ended September 30, 2009, the Company recorded a net operating loss of $29.9 million. After an effective dividend of $1.2 million to the U.S. Treasury on preferred stock, the Company reported a net loss to common stockholders of $31.1 million, or $1.17 per diluted common share, compared to earnings of $2.7 million, or $0.10 per diluted common share, in the third quarter of 2008. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company reported a net loss to common stockholders of $40.8 million compared to earnings of $11.7 million for the same period in 2008. Earnings for both the three and nine-month periods were significantly impacted by loan loss provisions of $49.0 million and $80.8 million, respectively, taken in consideration of the level of non-performing assets and $47.2 million in net charge-offs in 2009. Earnings were also impacted by a $9.1 million loss on other real estate owned.

Before taxes, loan loss provisions and losses on other real estate owned, core operating earnings for the three months ended September 30, 2009, of $12.0 million were down slightly compared to $12.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008. However, on a sequential basis, core operating earnings were up $1.6 million compared to $10.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, and are up $2.4 million compared to core operating earnings of $9.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. This positive trend is due to continued strong operating expense controls and improvement in the net interest margin.

Asset Quality and Provisions For Loan Losses

Provisions for loan losses were $49.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009, compared to $8.3 million in the same period in 2008, as non-performing assets and loans 90+ days past due increased from $85.3 million at September 30, 2008, to $123.5 million at September 30, 2009. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, provisions totaled $80.8 million compared to $16.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, with 2009 year-to-date net charge-offs of $47.2 million compared to $5.7 million in 2008. As a result, the coverage of loan loss reserves to non-performing loans rose from 35.0% at June 30, 2009, to 80.5% as of this quarter-end, and the allowance for loan losses increased from 1.72% of total loans to 3.15%. The significant quarterly increase in reserves is not an indication of heightened concern or expectations of further credit deterioration. Rather, it is an attempt to increase the coverage ratio on a one-time basis relative to the current level of non-performing loans and in recognition of continued economic uncertainty in regard to the commercial real estate market. Progress with respect to management's commitment to aggressive problem loan resolution continues, as total non-performing assets and loans 90+ days past due declined by $16.1 million during the quarter from $139.6 million, or 5.17% of total assets, to $123.5 million, or 4.52% of total assets. Non-accrual loans decreased by $20.9 million, loans 90+ days past due decreased by $3.3 million and other real estate owned (foreclosed properties) increased by $8.2 million. Although loans past due 30 to 89 days increased $11.6 million during the quarter to $30.9 million, they remain significantly lower from their peak level of $55.7 million at March 31, 2009. Approximately 28% of loans past due 30 to 89 days relate to a single non-farm, non-residential credit.

Non-performing loans continue to be concentrated in residential and commercial construction and land development loans in outer sub-markets hardest hit by the residential downturn and commercial and consumer credits experiencing the after shocks in sub-contracting businesses and workforce employment. Overall, as of September 30, 2009, $48.7 million, or 56.0%, of non-performing loans represented acquisition, development and construction loans, $19.1 million, or 21.9%, represented non-farm, non-residential loans, $9.9 million, or 11.4%, represented commercial and industrial loans and $9.1 million, or 10.5%, represented loans on one-to-four family residential properties.

Charge-offs of $17.9 million for the quarter were up $1 million sequentially and primarily related to the write-down to current fair market value of acquisition, development and construction loans of $4.9 million and commercial and industrial loans of $12.2 million. The acquisition, development and construction loan write-down was in anticipation of pending sale contracts and/or foreclosures over the next quarter. The commercial and industrial loan write-down was attributed primarily to an $8.4 million charge-off relating to participation in a rapidly deteriorating shared national credit engaged in the development of continuing care retirement communities and a $3.6 million charge-off relating to the auction of heavy construction equipment financed for a site development contractor and the subsequent restructuring of related loans.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the third quarter of $23.4 million was up $1.5 million, or 6.8% over the same quarter last year, due to overall balance sheet growth, and an increase in the net interest margin from 3.38% in the third quarter of 2008 to 3.52% for the current three-month period. Year-to-date net interest income of $66.2 million was up 6.6%, compared to $62.1 million for the same period in 2008. On a sequential basis, net interest income increased $1.4 million as the net interest margin rose seventeen basis points from 3.35% in the second quarter of 2009, primarily due to a twenty-two basis point drop in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities as the yield on earning assets remained unchanged. This drop in the cost of funds is due to significant reductions in the level of time deposits, increased levels of demand deposits and increased levels of lower rate interest-bearing transaction accounts.

Year-over-year, the net interest margin was unchanged at 3.34%, as yields on loans are down 86 basis points due to reductions in the prime rate and increases in the level of non-performing loans, while the cost of interest-bearing liabilities are down 89 basis points due to the changes noted above in the funding mix. With market rates expected to remain mostly unchanged through the remainder of 2009, Management anticipates the fourth quarter margin to average from 3.50% to 3.60%.

Non-Interest Income

For the three months ended September 30, 2009, non-interest income reflects a loss of $7.6 million compared to $1.6 million in income in the same period of 2008 due to a $9.1 million loss on other real estate owned and a $280 thousand impairment loss on securities. The $9.1 million OREO loss resulted from carrying value write-downs of four land development assets, based on pending sales contracts/offers due to settle this fourth quarter or the first quarter of next year. These losses are consistent with management's commitment to aggressive disposition of OREO, rather than land banking assets with uncertain future upside potential. Excluding these losses, non-interest income rose $195 thousand quarter-over-quarter with the majority of the increase in fees and net gains on mortgage loans held-for-sale. Results were similar on a year-over-year basis with non-interest income increasing $742 thousand, excluding the $9.1 million loss on other real estate owned and $418 thousand in impairment losses on securities, due again to higher levels of fees and net gains on mortgage loans held-for-sale.

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense increased $1.7 million, or 14.8%, from $11.3 million in the third quarter of 2008, to $12.9 million, and was up $6.3 million, or 18.9%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, to $39.5 million. Compared to the second quarter of 2009, non-interest expense is down $664 thousand. The majority of the year-over-year increases were due to significantly higher FDIC insurance premiums, including a special one-time assessment of $1.2 million in the second quarter of 2009, as well as higher legal and professional services expenses associated with the resolution of non-performing loans and OREO. As a result of these increases in expenses, the efficiency ratio rose from 47.9% in the third quarter of 2008 to 52.1% in the current period. Sequentially, the ratio improved from 56.7%.

Loans

Over the past twelve months, loans, net of allowance for loan losses, decreased $78.5 million, or 3.5%, to $2.15 billion, as non-farm, non-residential real estate loans increased $67.2 million, or 6.7%, and one-to-four family residential loans increased $69.7 million, or 21.2%, while real estate construction loans fell by $155.8 million, or 26.2%, and commercial and industrial loans were down 10.3%. Since December 31, 2008, net loans are down $118.8 million, or 5.3%, with non-farm non-residential loans up $59.0 million, construction loans down $146.6 million, and one-to-four family residential loans for portfolio up $41.4 million. In addition, one-to-four family residential loans originated for sale totaled $30.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, and $156.3 million year-to-date, compared to $17.2 million and $61.5 million for the same periods in 2008. This contributed to the gain in non-interest income as noted earlier.

Year-to-date loan production has been negatively impacted by declining economic activity and demand in both the business and consumer sectors, a reallocation of personnel resources to problem loan identification and resolution and a strategic decision to moderate loan growth in the face of an uncertain economy and heightened risk factors. Going forward, lending efforts will be focused on building greater market share in commercial and industrial lending, especially in sectors forecast for growth, such as government contract lending and select service industries with strategic hiring, marketing campaigns and calling efforts.

Deposits

Year-over-year, deposits increased $79.0 million, or 3.7%, from $2.1 billion to $2.2 billion, with demand deposits increasing $21.9 million, or 10.6%, savings and interest-bearing demand deposits increasing by $354.9 million, or 166.1%, and time deposits falling $297.9 million, or 21.1%. Sequentially, deposits were up $43.3 million, or 2.0%, with demand deposits decreasing by $11.3 million, time deposits decreasing by $77.1 million, and savings and interest-bearing demand accounts growing $131.7 million. That increase was due primarily to success with the Company's MEGA Savings and MEGA Checking accounts. The declines in time deposits are reflective of lower loan volume and a strategy to reduce the Bank's historically heavy reliance on certificates of deposit as a funding source with deposit gathering efforts and cross-selling activities focused on demand deposits, savings and interest-bearing demand accounts. The proportionate share of time deposits to total deposits has declined from 67.2% at year-end 2008 to 49.9% as of September 30, 2009. It is expected that the percentage share of time deposits will further decline to 45.0% or less by year-end, including a planned reduction in brokered certificates of deposit from $60.1 million at September 30, 2009, to approximately $30 million.

Repurchase Agreements and Fed Funds Purchased

Repurchase agreements, the majority of which represent sweep funds of significant commercial demand deposit customers, and Fed funds purchased decreased $12.5 million, or 6.3%, year-over-year, to $185.5 million at September 30, 2009. Since December 31, 2008, this funding source is down $2.4 million.

Investment Securities

Investment securities increased $51.2 million, or 16.1%, from $317.9 million at September 30, 2008, to $369.1 million at September 30, 2009, and were up $48.2 million sequentially from the second quarter. The majority of the current period and year-over-year increase in securities was concentrated in U.S. Government agency debt obligations and mortgage-backed securities. The portfolio also contains four pooled trust preferred collateralized debt obligations totaling $8.9 million, for which the Bank performs a quarterly analysis for other than temporary impairment due to significantly depressed current market quotes. The analysis includes stress tests on the underlying collateral and cash flow estimates based on the current and projected future levels of deferrals and defaults within each pool. Based on the most recent analysis, the Bank recorded a total impairment loss of $280 thousand for the third quarter on two of the four pools.

Capital Levels and Stockholders' Equity

Stockholders' equity increased $37.6 million, or 21.1%, from $178.4 million at September 30, 2008, to $216.0 million at September 30, 2009, with the issuance of $71 million in preferred stock to the U.S. Treasury under the Treasury's Capital Purchase Program, and a net loss to common stockholders of $39.7 million over the twelve-month period. In connection with the issuance of the preferred stock, the Company also issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2.7 million shares of common stock to the Treasury. As a result of this overall increase in stockholders' equity, the Company's Tier 1 Capital ratio increased from 10.21% at September 30, 2008, to 11.53% as of September 30, 2009, and its total qualifying capital ratio increased from 11.59% to 12.78%. Sequentially, the Tier 1 ratio declined from 12.72% and the total qualifying ratio decreased from 13.97%.
