LOS ANGELES, April 21, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Wilshire Bancorp, Inc. ("Wilshire" or the "Company") (Nasdaq:WIBC), the holding company for Wilshire State Bank, today reported that net income in the first quarter of 2009 was $3.1 million or $0.07 per diluted common share, compared to $5.1 million or $0.17 per diluted common share in the fourth quarter 2008, and $7.1 million or $0.24 per diluted common share in the first quarter of 2008. Wilshire increased its provision for losses on loans and loan commitments to address the increase in non-performing loans and deterioration of economic conditions. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to gross loans increased to 1.65% at March 31, 2009, as compared to 1.43% at December 31, 2008.
"As the credit environment further deteriorates and the financial crisis continues to unfold, we expect that 2009 will be a challenging year," stated Ms. Joanne Kim, President and CEO. "However, we have prudently made provision for losses on loans and loan commitments of $6.7 million in the current quarter as a measure to address the challenge. We continue to focus on our strategic goal of strengthening our capital and balance sheet positions as we work through these difficult times."
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS:
* Total deposits increased at an annualized rate of 20% to $1.91 billion at March 31, 2009, compared to $1.81 billion in 4Q08. * Allowance for loan losses to gross loans ratio increased to 1.65% from 1.43% in 4Q08. * Provision for losses on loans and loan commitments increased to $6.7 million, from $5.9 million in 4Q08. * Net interest margin decreased to 3.33% from 3.73% in 4Q08. * Capital position remained strong, with a total risk based capital ratio of 16.7% and a ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets of 7.3%, compared to 17.1% and 7.7%, respectively, in 4Q08.
CREDIT QUALITY
Based on the Company's reserve methodology, which takes into account, among other factors the level and trends of classified, past due and nonaccrual loans, general market conditions and portfolio concentrations, Wilshire prudently increased the allowance for loan losses to $34.2 million or 1.65% of gross loans. This compares to $29.4 million or 1.43% of gross loans at December 31, 2008, and $22.1 million or 1.17% of gross loans at March 31, 2008. Wilshire recorded $6.7 million of provision for losses on loans and loan commitments, compared to $5.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2008 and $1.4 million in the first quarter of 2008.
Nonperforming loans increased to $29.7 million, or 1.43% of gross loans at March 31, 2009, from $15.6 million, or 0.76% of gross loans at December 31, 2008, and $12.0 million, or 0.64% of gross loans, at March 31, 2008. Non-performing loans at March 31, 2009 consisted of $22.5 million of commercial real estate loans and $6.0 million of commercial and industrial loans. This compares to $9.1 million of commercial real estate loans and $6.1 million of commercial and industrial loans at December 31, 2008.
The increase of $14.2 million in nonperforming loans, compared to December 31, 2008, is mainly attributable to two borrowing relationship:
* $8.4 million loans secured by land in Las Vegas, Nevada. The borrower filed chapter 11 bankruptcy due to the death of the main shareholder of the borrowing entity. The updated appraisal indicated a loan-to-value ratio of 47%. * $4.3 million loan secured by land in Malibu, California. Based on an updated appraisal report, the value of collateral is $8.2 million.
The Company performed an impairment analysis for all nonaccrual loans, and recorded specific reserves for impaired loans in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan. Wilshire increased specific reserves for impaired loans by $2.9 million during the quarter. The increase in the specific reserve is mainly related to one commercial loan of $7.3 million to a borrower in the wholesale distribution business. The loan is current, but the recent appraisal of the underlying collateral reflected a decrease in value, and the Company accordingly allocated a $2.1 million specific reserve.
Gross loan charge-offs decreased to $2.4 million during the quarter, compared to $2.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2008 and $1.1 million in the first quarter 2008. $1.6 million or 68% of total charge offs for the first quarter 2009 consisted of commercial and industrial loans and $672,000 or 28% consisted of commercial real estate loans. Net quarterly charge offs (non-annualized) to average gross loans decreased to 0.11% from 0.12% at December 31, 2008.
Wilshire's real estate owned and repossessed assets were $6.3 million at March 31, 2009, compared to $2.7 million at December 31, 2008 and $154,000 at March 31, 2008. The increase was due mainly to eight SBA loans, totaling $5 million, which were converted into other real estate owned (OREO) during the current quarter. As of March 31, 2009, OREO consisted of 14 properties, totaling $6.3 million. Most of these OREO properties are in escrows and are scheduled to close during the second quarter 2009, with an expected gain.
CAPITAL POSITION
Wilshire's capital ratios remain strong and continue to exceed the "well capitalized" guidelines established by regulatory agencies. The leverage ratio was 12.79% at March 31, 2009, as compared to 13.25% at December 31, 2008, and 10.24% at March 31, 2008. The total risk-based capital ratio was 16.69% at March 31, 2009, as compared to 17.09% at December 31, 2008, and 14.37% at March 31, 2008. Tangible common equity per common share was $6.47 at March 31, 2009, up from $6.38 and $5.70 at December 31, 2008 and March 31, 2008, respectively.
BALANCE SHEET
Total loans increased 10% to $2.07 billion at March 31, 2009, from $1.88 billion a year earlier. Commercial real estate loans comprised 81% of the loan portfolio at March 31, 2009. Commercial and industrial loans accounted for 18% of total loans and consumer loans made up 1% of total loans as of March 31, 2009.
Total assets increased to $2.61 billion at March 31, 2009, up 7% from $2.45 billion at December 31, 2008 and up 16% from $2.26 billion a year earlier. Total deposits increased to $1.91 billion at March 31, 2009, up 5% from $1.81 billion at December 31, 2008 and from $1.73 billion from a year earlier. "We continue to experience stiff competition in our markets for core deposits," said Mr. Alex Ko, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. "However, our dedicated efforts in our 'Yes 2009' marketing campaign has helped us improve our core deposit account balances compared to December 31, 2008," he added. Non-interest-bearing demand deposits increased 7% to $298.0 million, as compared to $277.5 million at December 31, 2008. Non-time deposits and time deposits both increased 5% to $738.6 million and $1.17 billion, respectively, at March 31, 2009, as compared to $706.2 million and $1.11 billion at December 31, 2008.
A majority of loan growth during the first quarter of 2009 was funded by the increase in customer deposits. Wilshire also took advantage of the increased FHLB borrowing capacity and its low interest cost as a secondary financing source. FHLB capacity and borrowing increased to $687.6 million and $340.0 million, respectively, at March 31, 2009, compared to $560.1 million and $260.0 million as of December 31, 2008.
At March 31, 2009, the investment portfolio allocation was 89% United States government agency securities (which are either guaranteed by the U.S. government or considered risk-free), 9% municipal securities, and 2% corporate securities. Of the 11% of the portfolio that was not comprised of government securities, 74% carries the top rating of "Aaa/AAA," while the remaining 26% carries an intermediate "Investment Grade" rating of at least "Baa1/BBB+" or above. The investment portfolio does not contain any government sponsored enterprises (GSE) preferred securities, or any distressed corporate securities that required other-than-temporary-impairment charges during the first quarter of 2009.
NET INTEREST MARGIN
Due to a combined 175 basis point reduction in a series of federal funds rate cuts during the fourth quarter of 2008, the weighted average loan yield decreased 74 basis points to 5.95% in the first quarter of 2009 from 6.69% in the fourth quarter of 2008, while the weighted average yield of interest-earning assets decreased 77 basis points to 5.66% in the first quarter of 2009 from 6.43% in the preceding quarter. Likewise, weighted average deposit cost decreased 31 basis points to 2.87% in the first quarter of 2009 from 3.18% in the fourth quarter of 2008, and weighted average cost of interest-bearing liabilities in the first quarter of 2009 decreased 40 basis points to 2.79% from 3.19% in the preceding quarter. As a result, net interest margin compressed 40 basis points to 3.33% in the first quarter of 2009 from 3.73% in the fourth quarter of 2008.
The decrease in average loan yield compared to the prior quarter resulted primarily from a reduction in interest income from variable or floating rate loans, which absorbed only a partial impact of the 175 basis point reduction in the federal funds rate during the fourth quarter of 2008, but the reduction had full impact for those loans during the first quarter of 2009. As of March 31, 2009, 49% of the loan portfolio consisted of floating rate loans.
Net interest income reversal on nonaccrual loans was $674,000 in the first quarter of 2009, as compared to $18,000 in the preceding quarter. Net interest income reversal in the first quarter of 2009 negatively impacted the net interest margin by 12 basis points. If the $674,000 and $18,000 net interest income reversals had not occurred, the net interest margin would have been 3.45% and 3.73% for the first quarter of 2009 and the fourth quarter of 2008, respectively.
The decrease in average deposit cost during the first quarter of 2009 was primarily because of the average cost on time deposits of $100,000 or more declined to 2.86% in the first quarter of 2009 from 3.17% in the prior quarter. In addition, the average cost of money market accounts declined to 2.57% in the first quarter of 2009, compared to 3.06% in the prior quarter. "While we continue to use FHLB advances as a cost effective alternative to our funding needs, our primary goal is to continue to fund loan growth with low-cost core deposits," said Mr. Ko.
INCOME STATEMENT AND PERFORMANCE METRICS
In the first quarter of 2009, interest income was down 12% and interest expense was down 25% from the same quarter a year earlier. Net interest income, at $19.7 million in the first quarter of 2009, was essentially unchanged from the year-earlier quarter.
Total noninterest income decreased 27% to $3.7 million in the first quarter of 2009 from $5.2 million in the same quarter a year earlier. The substantial decrease in noninterest income was primarily due to the absence of gain on SBA loan sales and an $832,000 one-time loss on a single loan sale during the first quarter of 2009, as compared to a gain of $864,000 on SBA loan sales in the year-earlier quarter. The decrease in gain on sale of loans was partially offset by a 5% growth in service charges on deposits. Service charges on deposits increased to $2.9 million in the first quarter of 2009 from $2.7 million in the same quarter a year earlier.
SBA loan production levels decreased 72% to $6.3 million in the first quarter of 2009 from $22.3 million in the first quarter a year earlier, reflecting the overall weaker economic environment and stricter underwriting standards. The average sales premium of SBA 7(a) guaranteed loans, however, was increased slightly during the first quarter of 2009. Nonetheless, the Company still considered the premium low, resulting in the decision not to sell SBA loans in the first quarter of 2009.
"During the first quarter of 2009 we continued to contain noninterest expenses, even while continuing the planned expansion of our branch network into the East Coast market," said Mr. Ko. "Salary and employee expense was the largest noninterest expense item, and we managed to reduce it by 11% to $6.2 million in the first quarter of 2009, as compared to $7.0 million in the first quarter of 2008. Consistent with the decrease in noninterest income, our noninterest expenses also decreased by 2% to $12.0 million from $12.2 million in the first quarter a year earlier. Our efficiency ratio increased only slightly to 51.22% in the first quarter of 2009 from 49.10% in the year-earlier first quarter."
Primarily due to additional investments in low income housing partnerships, Wilshire's effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2009 decreased to 35.1% from 39.3% in the prior quarter and 37.5% in the first quarter a year of 2008.
