State Bancorp, Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2009 Results


JERICHO, N.Y., Oct. 15, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- State Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") (Nasdaq:STBC), parent company of State Bank of Long Island (the "Bank"), today reported net income of $1.9 million, or $0.10 per diluted common share, for the third quarter of 2009 compared with net income of $2.0 million, or $0.14 per diluted common share, a year ago. The 2.4% decline in 2009 third quarter earnings was primarily attributable to a $1.2 million increase in total operating expenses, primarily due to a $1.0 million charge to write down the carrying value of loans held for sale to their estimated fair value, and a $345 thousand increase in FDIC insurance costs. These charges were offset, in part, by a reduction in the provision for loan and lease losses of $700 thousand and a $495 thousand increase in net security gains in the third quarter of 2009. Earnings per diluted common share in 2009 are also negatively impacted by quarterly dividends paid on preferred stock issued under the United States Department of the Treasury (the "Treasury") Capital Purchase Program ("CPP"). For the nine month period ending September 30, 2009, the Company recorded a net loss of $2.1 million, or $0.25 per diluted common share, compared with net income of $6.0 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008.

Performance Highlights

* Net Interest Margin: Net interest margin was 4.06% in the third quarter of 2009 versus 4.12% in the third quarter of 2008 and 3.88% in the second quarter of 2009. The reduction in net interest margin in the third quarter of 2009 versus 2008 resulted from several factors, most notably reduced asset yields due to lower interest rates, increased non-performing assets and accelerated cash flows on investment securities in 2009;

* Capital Strength: The Company's Tier I leverage capital ratio was 9.25% at September 30, 2009 versus 8.05% at September 30, 2008, 9.38% at December 31, 2008 and 8.98% at June 30, 2009. The Company's tangible common equity ratio (non-GAAP financial measure) was 7.17% at September 30, 2009 versus 7.02% at September 30, 2008, 6.91% at December 31, 2008 and 6.75% at June 30, 2009. As previously disclosed, the Company issued $37 million in preferred stock and a warrant under the Treasury CPP in December 2008;

* Loan and Lease Loss Provision: The provision for loan and lease losses decreased by $700 thousand in the third quarter of 2009 versus the third quarter of 2008 and decreased by $500 thousand versus the second quarter of 2009;

* Asset Quality: Non-accrual loans and leases totaled $35 million (including $9 million of loans held for sale which have been written down to their estimated fair value) or 3.1% of loans and leases outstanding at September 30, 2009 versus $14 million (including $1 million of loans held for sale) or 1.3% of loans and leases outstanding at September 30, 2008 and $35 million (including $12 million of loans held for sale) or 3.1% of loans and leases outstanding at June 30, 2009. Net loan and lease charge-offs of $1.6 million were recorded in the third quarter of 2009 versus $6.4 million in the third quarter of 2008 and $1.4 million in the second quarter of 2009. The allowance for loan and lease losses totaled $29 million or 2.7% of total loans and leases (excluding loans held for sale) at September 30, 2009 versus $15 million or 1.3% of total loans and leases (excluding loans held for sale) at September 30, 2008 and $28 million or 2.5% of total loans and leases (excluding loans held for sale) at June 30, 2009;

* Operating Efficiency: Total operating expenses for the third quarter of 2009 increased by 11.6% to $11.3 million from the $10.2 million reported in the third quarter of 2008. The Company's third quarter operating efficiency ratio increased to 66.6% in 2009 from 60.2% in the comparable 2008 period. Excluding the $1.0 million write down of loans held for sale recorded during the third quarter of 2009, the Company's operating efficiency ratio would have been 60.7% (non-GAAP financial measure). The Company's efficiency ratio was 70.9% in the second quarter of 2009;

* Loans and Leases: Loans and leases outstanding increased by 1% to $1.1 billion at September 30, 2009 versus September 30, 2008 and declined by 1% versus June 30, 2009;

* Core Deposits: Core deposits totaled $899 million at September 30, 2009 versus $807 million at September 30, 2008 and $958 million at June 30, 2009. The growth in core deposits versus the comparable 2008 date reflects the Company's ongoing acquisition of attractive new business clients and the expansion of many existing business client relationships. The reduction in core deposits at September 30, 2009 versus June 30, 2009 reflects the normal seasonality of the Company's municipal deposits. Core deposits represented 69% of total deposits for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, 60% of total deposits for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 and 67% for the quarter ended June 30, 2009. Demand deposits increased by 11% to $363 million at September 30, 2009 versus $327 million at the comparable 2008 date and increased by 6% from $342 million at June 30, 2009;

* Performance Ratios: Return on average assets and return on average stockholders' equity were 0.47% and 5.13%, respectively, in the third quarter of 2009 and 0.50% and 6.95%, respectively, in the comparable 2008 period.

Commenting on the third quarter 2009 financial performance, President and CEO Thomas M. O'Brien stated that, "Third quarter 2009 results produced many of the same positive trends that the Company has experienced in recent periods. Of particular comfort is the continued strength of our quarterly net interest margin at 4.06%. In the face of loan quality pressures and the lowest interest rates in memory, the Company's margins have consistently provided a steady source of net interest income. Non-performing assets, while still uncomfortably high, have begun to stabilize in absolute terms at $35 million, essentially unchanged from June 30. Notwithstanding these encouraging trends, economic conditions in the metropolitan New York region continue to be fragile and the resulting pressure on real estate values remains a source of concern and elevated risk. In addition, unemployment levels remain high and have yet to stabilize. We continue to take an aggressive posture towards exiting higher risk legacy credit exposures and forthrightly managing credit risk under very difficult and uncertain market conditions. I believe that the decisive actions that we have taken to date, while undoubtedly painful at times, have helped position the Company to better withstand the likely second and third derivative aftershocks of the economic collapse of 2008. We will continue to aggressively confront these conditions and regularly explore multiple avenues to expedite the process of appropriately exiting troubled loans.

"Loan market pricing and credit terms continue to be more rational and consequently, loan portfolios should begin to exhibit gradual improvement once employment stabilizes and the overhang of weak credit begins to diminish. Unfortunately, pressures from weak credit will likely continue to inhibit banking sector profitability until such time as non-performing loans are disposed of in a manner that allows underlying fundamentals to produce sustainable earnings. The adage that time is money probably most accurately describes the pressure that weakened credit brings to bank income statements. Consequently, it is our belief that speedy disposition of problem assets is generally the best remedy.

"While the avalanche of difficult news in the banking industry has dominated the headlines, I believe that there will be significant opportunity ahead for those banks properly prepared to exit the recession. The opportunity will include the ability to gain market share both organically and through franchise acquisition. While I believe there is certainly more pain to be experienced in bank credit portfolios, the multiple opportunities that will become available for well positioned banks have almost never appeared so intriguing. It is our goal during this weak economic period to continue to take those actions we believe prudent in the short term so as to keep the Company in ready position to exploit market conditions when long-term economic growth returns."

Earnings Summary for the Quarter Ended September 30, 2009

The Company recorded net income of $1.9 million during the third quarter of 2009 versus net income of $2.0 million in the comparable 2008 period. Net interest income increased by $201 thousand or 1.3% to $15.6 million in the third quarter of 2009 versus 2008. This improvement was due to a $36 million increase in average interest-earning assets in 2009, principally loans. The Company's third quarter net interest margin contracted by six basis points to 4.06% in 2009 versus 2008. The Company's third quarter 2009 average earning-asset yield declined by 73 basis points to a weighted average yield of 5.09% from 5.82% in 2008. The lower earning-asset yield resulted principally from a 70 basis point reduction in the average yield on loans and leases to 5.45% due in part to the increase in non-accrual loans recorded in 2009. Total loans increased by $12 million or 1% to $1.1 billion at September 30, 2009 versus September 30, 2008 largely due to net growth of $23 million in the Company's commercial loan and mortgage portfolio. The securities portfolio increased by $3 million at September 30, 2009 versus September 30, 2008. The average yield on the Company's securities portfolio decreased by 72 basis points to 4.24% in the third quarter of 2009 versus 2008. The securities portfolio had an unrealized mark to market gain of $11 million at September 30, 2009 and a weighted average life of three years.

Partially offsetting the decreased average earning-asset yield was a 79 basis point reduction in the Company's average cost of interest-bearing liabilities in the third quarter of 2009 to 1.43% versus 2.22% for the same period in 2008. The lower cost of funds resulted from a $92 million or 11% increase in core deposits (average cost of 48 basis points) coupled with the lower prevailing rate environment in the third quarter of 2009 versus the comparable 2008 period. The Company experienced a $27 million decline in total deposits at September 30, 2009 versus September 30, 2008. This decrease was due to a $119 million reduction in time deposits, principally short-term Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service ("CDARS") balances, partially offset by core deposit growth. In March 2009 the Company issued $29 million in senior unsecured debt due in 2012 and guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") under the FDIC's Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program ("TLGP"). This issuance allowed the Company to reduce its use of other temporary borrowings and improve its liquidity position. Federal funds purchased and other temporary borrowings declined by $42 million at September 30, 2009 versus September 30, 2008.

The provision for loan and lease losses was $3.0 million in the third quarter of 2009, representing a decrease of $700 thousand versus the comparable 2008 period.

Total non-interest income increased by $496 thousand in the third quarter of 2009 versus 2008 as the result of a $520 thousand gain recorded on the liquidation of a Trust Preferred Collateralized Debt Obligation ("CDO") that had been previously classified as other than temporarily impaired ("OTTI"). During the fourth quarter of 2008 and the first quarter of 2009, the Company wrote this security down by $9.2 million to its estimated market value. In the third quarter, the Company also recorded a $221 thousand gain on the sale of its claim against an affiliate of Lehman Brothers in connection with a loss recorded during the third quarter of 2008 related to three interest rate swap positions.

Third quarter 2009 total operating expenses increased by $1.2 million or 11.6% to $11.3 million compared to the third quarter of 2008. This increase was primarily due to an increase of $965 thousand in credit and collection expenses, which included a $1.0 million charge to write down the carrying value of loans held for sale to their estimated fair value. Salaries and employee benefits expenses increased by $294 thousand (5.2%) primarily as the result of additions to staff in 2009. Legal expenses increased by $384 thousand in 2009 due to an expense credit recorded last year resulting from the settlement of the purported shareholder derivative lawsuit in the third quarter of 2008. FDIC and NYS assessment costs increased as the result of a higher FDIC insurance rate in 2009 coupled with fees associated with the Treasury Transaction Account Guarantee Program which was not in existence in the third quarter of 2008. Partially offsetting the foregoing expense increases were reductions in marketing expenses (down $150 thousand) and other operating expenses (down $634 thousand) in the third quarter of 2009. The decline in other operating expenses was due primarily to the $584 thousand write-off of the Company's interest rate swap transactions with an affiliate of Lehman Brothers during the third quarter of 2008.

Earnings Summary for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009

The Company recorded a net loss of $2.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared to net income of $6.0 million for the comparable 2008 period. The decrease in net income resulted from several factors, most notably an increase in the provision for loan and lease losses of $6.3 million and reductions in net interest income and noninterest income of $1.1 million and $3.6 million, respectively. Total operating expenses increased by $521 thousand for the first nine months of 2009 versus 2008.

The increased provision for loan and lease losses for the first nine months of 2009 versus the comparable 2008 period was due to several factors, including an increase in non-accrual loans and leases, and internal risk rating downgrades of several commercial loan relationships. The decrease in net interest income was due to a 15 basis point narrowing of the Company's net interest margin to 3.99% for the first nine months of 2009 versus 4.14% for the comparable 2008 period.

The decline in noninterest income for the first nine months of 2009 resulted principally from an increase in net security losses of $2.9 million due to a previously disclosed $4.0 million 2009 non-cash OTTI charge on a Trust Preferred CDO. During the third quarter of 2009, the Company liquidated this security at a gain of $520 thousand versus its carrying value. Income from bank owned life insurance ("BOLI") declined by $239 thousand for the first nine months of 2009 versus the comparable 2008 period due to a lower rate of return on BOLI assets. Other operating income decreased by $563 thousand in 2009, due to reductions in sweep program fees coupled with losses recorded on certain customer interest rate swaps in 2009.

Total operating expenses increased by $521 thousand or 1.6% to $33.0 million for the first nine months of 2009, primarily due to a $2.4 million increase in FDIC and NYS assessment expenses in 2009 resulting from higher FDIC insurance premiums, growth in deposits, additional deposit insurance programs and the FDIC special assessment of $730 thousand recorded in the second quarter of 2009; an increase in credit and collection expenses resulting from the previously noted $1.0 million write-down of loans held for sale to their estimated fair value; and a $313 thousand increase in marketing and advertising expenses in 2009. Largely offsetting these increases were a reduction in legal expenses of $2.0 million related to the shareholder derivative lawsuit settled in 2008 and a $1.1 million decline in other operating expenses, largely the result of the previously noted Lehman Brothers swap write-off recorded in 2008. The Company recorded a $914 thousand income tax benefit in the first nine months of 2009 versus a $2.6 million income tax expense in the comparable period a year ago.

Asset Quality

Non-accrual loans and leases totaled $35 million or 3.1% of total loans and leases outstanding at September 30, 2009 versus $14 million or 1.3% of total loans and leases outstanding at September 30, 2008 and $35 million or 3.1% of total loans and leases outstanding at June 30, 2009. Non-accrual loans categorized as held for sale, previously written down to estimated fair value, amounted to $9 million at September 30, 2009, $1 million at September 30, 2008 and $12 million at June 30, 2009. The increase in non-accrual loans and leases at September 30, 2009 compared to September 30, 2008 resulted primarily from the addition of $26 million from seven relationships to non-accrual status. These relationships consisted of residential construction and commercial real estate credits totaling $20 million, and commercial and industrial loans totaling $6 million. These additions were reduced by charge-offs of non-accrual loans of $2 million and cash payments received of $5 million. Total non-accrual loans did not change materially from June 30, 2009 to September 30, 2009. The allowance for loan and lease losses as a percentage of non-accrual loans and leases, excluding non-accrual loans categorized as held for sale, amounted to 116% at September 30, 2009 versus 104% at September 30, 2008 and 122% at June 30, 2009. The Company held no other real estate owned at September 30, 2009, September 30, 2008 or June 30, 2009.

As of September 30, 2009, the Company's allowance for loan and lease losses amounted to $29 million or 2.7% of period-end loans and leases outstanding (excluding loans held for sale). The allowance as a percentage of loans and leases outstanding (excluding loans held for sale) was 1.3% at September 30, 2008 and 2.5% at June 30, 2009.

The Company recorded net loan and lease charge-offs of $1.6 million in the third quarter of 2009 versus net charge-offs of $6.4 million in the third quarter of 2008 and $1.4 million in the second quarter of 2009. As a percentage of average total loans and leases outstanding, these net amounts represented, on an annualized basis, 0.6% for the third quarter of 2009, 2.3% for the third quarter of 2008 and 0.5% for the second quarter of 2009.

Capital

Total stockholders' equity was $152 million at September 30, 2009 compared to $112 million at September 30, 2008 and $149 million at June 30, 2009. The increase versus 2008 is primarily a result of the issuance of $37 million in preferred stock and a warrant under the Treasury's CPP in December 2008. The Company issued to the Treasury 36,842 shares of 5% fixed rate cumulative perpetual preferred stock and a warrant to purchase 465,569 shares of common stock. This increase in capital has allowed the Company to reinforce its commitment to serve the credit needs of our clients and the communities in which we operate.

The Company has $20 million in outstanding trust preferred securities that qualify as Tier I capital. During 2009, the weighted average rate on the Company's trust preferred securities was 4.26% versus 6.29% for the comparable 2008 period. The Company also has $10 million of 8.25% subordinated notes outstanding which qualify in part as Tier II capital.

The Company's capital ratios exceeded all regulatory requirements at September 30, 2009. The Bank's Tier I leverage, Tier I risk-weighted and total risk-weighted capital ratios were 9.62%, 12.42% and 13.69%, respectively, at September 30, 2009. Each of these ratios exceeds the regulatory guidelines for a "well capitalized" institution, the highest regulatory capital category. Excluding the capital received through the CPP, the Bank would still be considered "well capitalized." The Company's tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio (non-GAAP financial measure) was 7.17% at September 30, 2009 versus 7.02% at September 30, 2008 and 6.75% at June 30, 2009.

The Company did not repurchase any of its common stock in 2009. Under the Board of Directors' existing authorization, up to 512,348 shares may be repurchased from time to time as conditions warrant. The Company does not presently anticipate repurchasing any of its shares in the immediate future.

 (1) Weighted daily average balance for period noted.         
 
 (2) At period end.
 
 (3) The ratio of tangible  common equity to tangible  assets,  or TCE
 ratio, is calculated by dividing total common stockholders  equity by
 total assets,  after reducing both amounts by intangible  assets. The
 TCE ratio is not required by GAAP or by  applicable  bank  regulatory
 requirements,  but is a metric used by  management  to  evaluate  the
 adequacy  of our  capital  levels.  Since  there is no  authoritative
 requirement  to  calculate  the  TCE  ratio,  our  TCE  ratio  is not
 necessarily  comparable to similar capital measures disclosed or used
 by other  companies  in the  financial  services  industry.  Tangible
 common equity and tangible assets are non-GAAP financial measures and
 should be  considered  in  addition  to, not as a  substitute  for or
 superior to, financial  measures  determined in accordance with GAAP.
 With respect to the calculation of the actual  unaudited TCE ratio as
 of September 30, 2009,  reconciliations  of tangible common equity to
 GAAP total common  stockholders' equity and tangible  assets to GAAP
 total assets are set forth below:
