Sun Bancorp, Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2009 Results


VINELAND, N.J., July 20, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sun Bancorp, Inc. (Nasdaq:SNBC) reported today a net loss available to common shareholders of $8.8 million, or $0.38 net loss per diluted share, for the second quarter ended June 30, 2009, compared to net income of $2.3 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2008.

For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company reported a net loss available to common shareholders of $9.6 million, or $0.42 net loss per diluted share, compared to net income of $6.5 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, in the prior year period.

The second quarter results include the following one-time items:



 * On April 8, 2009, the Company completed the repurchase of all 
   89,310 shares of preferred stock issued under the U.S. Treasury's 
   Capital Purchase Program (CPP) of the Troubled Assets Relief 
   Program (TARP). As a result of the repayment, the Company 
   recognized a $4.0 million acceleration of the accretion of original 
   issuance discount (OID) and deferred issuance costs, in addition to 
   the second quarter preferred dividend earned through the date of 
   repurchase of $87,000, for a combined $4.1 million, or $0.18 per 
   diluted share, charge to earnings available to common shareholders 
   for the second quarter. The impact upon net income for the six 
   months ended June 30, 2009 of the preferred dividends and accretion 
   of the OID and deferred issuance costs was $5.4 million, or $0.23 
   per diluted share. 
 * On May 22, 2009, the FDIC adopted a final rule imposing a 5 basis 
   point special assessment based upon each insured depository 
   institution's assets minus Tier 1 capital as of June 30, 2009. The 
   Company recognized a charge of approximately $1.6 million, or $0.04 
   per diluted share, in the second quarter for this special 
   assessment. The special assessment is payable on September 30, 
   2009.  
 * The Company recognized a pre-tax impairment charge during the 
   quarter of $4.6 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, due to further 
   deterioration of underlying collateral on a pooled trust preferred 
   security.  This security, which had an original cost basis of $7.0 
   million, had been previously written down $515,000 in accordance 
   with the Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position on the 
   recognition and presentation of other-than-temporary impairments, 
   which the Company previously adopted in the first quarter of 2009. 

Selected core operating highlights reflecting favorable performance in the second quarter include:



 * Second quarter net interest income of $24.3 million (tax-equivalent 
   basis) compared favorably to $22.3 million for the linked first
   quarter 2009. The second quarter net interest margin increased to 
   3.01% compared to 2.74% for the linked first quarter 2009. Net 
   interest income for the second quarter a year ago was $25.0 million 
   and the net interest margin was 3.30%.
 * The average cost of interest-bearing deposits for the second 
   quarter of 1.95% decreased 24 basis points over the linked first 
   quarter 2009.  The yield on average loans of 4.83% for the second 
   quarter increased 11 basis points over the linked first quarter 
   2009.
 * Total non-performing assets remained relatively low compared to 
   industry trends at $74.1 million, or 2.70% of total loans and 
   real estate owned, at June 30, 2009, compared to $64.3 million, 
   or 2.34%, at March 31, 2009, and $34.1 million, or 1.29%, at June
   30, 2008.

"The combined costs of completing our TARP repayment, funding the FDIC's special deposit insurance assessment, and the further write down of the trust preferred security in our investment portfolio accounted for about $10.3 million pre-tax, or $0.34 per diluted share, and essentially offset the income that we did produce," said Thomas X. Geisel, president and chief executive officer.

"This unprecedented operating environment and the effects of the one-time charges we encountered can't obscure the fact that our credit quality, in terms of our level of non-performers as a percentage of total loans, remains favorable compared to industry trends."

"Furthermore, we have created positive momentum gathering and pricing core deposits, and originating and renewing loans across the portfolios, with an intense focus on profitability, as evidenced by the improvement in our linked-quarter net interest margin," Geisel said.

Other key financial highlights include:



 * Total assets were $3.561 billion at June 30, 2009, compared to 
   $3.425 billion at June 30, 2008, and $3.636 billion at March 31, 
   2009. 
 * Total loans before allowance for loan losses were $2.734 billion at 
   June 30, 2009, an increase of $96.6 million, or 3.7%, over total 
   loans at June 30, 2008. Total loans on a linked quarter basis are 
   essentially level. Commercial loans on average were essentially 
   level on a linked quarter basis, residential mortgages increased on 
   average 7.0% and home equity loans decreased on average 1.9%. 
 * The loan loss provision for the quarter of $6.95 million, or 0.25% 
   of average loans outstanding, compares to $6.5 million, or 0.25% of 
   average loans outstanding, for the comparable prior year period and 
   $4.0 million, or 0.15% of average loans outstanding, for the linked 
   first quarter 2009. The allowance for loan losses to total loans 
   was 1.62% at June 30, 2009 compared to 1.19% at June 30, 2008 and 
   1.44% at March 31, 2009. Total non-performing assets were $74.1 
   million at June 30, 2009, or 2.70% of total loans and real estate 
   owned, compared to $34.1 million, or 1.29%, at June 30, 2008 and 
   $64.3 million, or 2.34%, at March 31, 2009.  The allowance for loan 
   losses to non-performing loans was 69.82% at June 30, 2009, 
   compared to 97.30% at June 30, 2008 and 73.76% at March 31, 2009. 
   Net charge-offs for the quarter of $2.0 million, or 0.07% of 
   average loans outstanding, compared to $2.9 million, or 0.11% of 
   average loans outstanding, for the comparable prior year quarter 
   and $1.9 million, or 0.07% of average loans outstanding, for the 
   linked first quarter 2009.
 * Total deposits were $2.876 billion at June 30, 2009, an increase 
   of $93.3 million, or 3.4%, over total deposits at June 30, 2008 
   and a decrease of $54.6 million, or 1.9%, over the linked first
   quarter 2009. The decrease over the linked quarter is primarily 
   from certificates of deposits as the Company aggressively lowered 
   deposit interest rates while managing overall funding and 
   liquidity. The average cost of interest-bearing deposits for the 
   quarter of 1.95% decreased 24 basis points over the linked first
   quarter 2009. 
 * Net interest income (tax-equivalent basis) of $24.3 million for the 
   quarter compares to $25.0 million for the comparable prior year 
   period and $22.3 million for the linked first quarter 2009. The net 
   interest margin for the quarter increased to 3.01% compared to 
   2.74% for the linked first quarter 2009 and 3.30% for the 
   comparable prior year period. The margin increase over the linked 
   first quarter 2009 of 27 basis points reflects the Company's focus 
   on margin improvement initiatives on both sides of the balance 
   sheet. The interest rate spread over the linked first quarter 
   increased 35 basis points, with a yield increase of 10 basis points 
   on interest-earnings assets offset by a decrease in the cost of 
   interest-bearing liabilities of 25 basis points. Average interest-
   earning assets for the quarter of $3.2 billion decreased by 1.0% 
   over the linked first quarter 2009. The decreasing margin trend 
   through the linked first quarter 2009 was primarily attributable to 
   the reduction in market interest rates, which caused interest-
   earning assets to re-price downward faster than interest-bearing 
   liabilities. Additionally, as we have previously noted, the yield 
   on total loans has been negatively impacted as approximately 50% of 
   the total loan portfolio is variable rate indexed to LIBOR or prime 
   rate.
 * Total operating non-interest income for the quarter of $6.3 
   million, which excludes the impairment charge of $4.6 million, 
   decreased $1.5 million, or 19.4%, over the comparable prior year 
   period and increased $691,000, or 12.3%, over the linked first 
   quarter 2009. The decrease over the prior year period was primarily 
   attributable to a decrease in gain on derivative instruments of 
   $952,000 due to a planned decline in transaction volume, a reduction
   in service charges on deposit accounts, such as NSF and overdraft
   fees of $465,000, and a decrease in bank owned life insurance (BOLI)
   income of $211,000 due to lower yields earned on the separate 
   account policy. These decreases were offset with an increase in gain
   on sale of loans of $282,000, primarily related to mortgages sold in
   the secondary market. The increase over the linked first quarter
   2009 was primarily due to an increase in gain on sale of mortgage
   loans of $348,000 as a result of an increase in refinancing volume,
   an increase in investment products income of $234,000, and an 
   increase in service charges on deposit accounts of $52,000. 
 * Total operating non-interest expense for the quarter of $27.7
   million increased $4.7 million, or 20.7%, over the comparable prior
   year period and increased $3.8 million, or 16.1%, over the linked
   first quarter 2009.  The increase over the prior year period was
   primarily attributable to an increase in FDIC insurance of $2.4
   million, which includes the $1.6 million special assessment and
   $770,000 as a result of an increase in assessment rates, additional
   coverage under the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program (TLGP) and
   an overall increase in assessable deposits. Salaries and benefits
   increased $933,000 primarily due to the addition of several key
   management and business line staff, and increases in commissions
   and healthcare costs. In addition, cost of real estate owned
   increased $627,000, which was primarily due to the recognition of a
   $558,000 net gain on the sale of three properties during the second
   quarter of 2008 and advertising expense increased $387,000 due to
   the recent "Switch to Sun" campaign. The increase over the linked
   first quarter 2009 was also primarily attributable to an increase
   in FDIC insurance of $1.7 million, which includes the special
   assessment of $1.6 million. In addition, salaries and benefits
   increased $1.3 million due to the addition of several key
   management and business line staff and an increase in healthcare costs, 
   advertising expense increased $326,000 due to the recent "Switch to 
   Sun" campaign, and problem loan costs increased $297,000.
 * The income tax benefit is a result of the pre-tax loss in 
   combination with the relatively large levels of tax-free income 
   earned on tax-exempt securities and BOLI policies. 
 * The Company's ratio of tangible equity to tangible assets was 6.33% 
   at June 30, 2009 compared to 6.45% at June 30, 2008 and 6.11% and 
   March 31, 2009.
