FRESNO, CA--(Marketwire - Apr 18, 2012) - The Board of Directors of Central Valley Community Bancorp (Company) (
During the first quarter of 2012, the Company's total assets decreased 1.69%, total liabilities decreased 2.37% and shareholders' equity increased 3.02% compared to the balances at December 31, 2011. Return on average equity (ROE) for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 was 6.19%, compared to 6.41% for the quarter ended March 31, 2011. The decrease in ROE reflects an increase in capital from an increase in other comprehensive income and an increase in retained earnings which were greater than the increase in net income. Return on average assets (ROA) was 0.82% for both of the quarters ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2012, the Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $400,000, compared to $100,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2011. During the quarter ended March 31, 2012, the Company recorded $1,511,000 in net loan charge-offs, compared to $95,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2011. The net charge-off ratio, which reflects net charge-offs to average loans, was 1.46% for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, compared to 0.09% for the same period in 2011. The Company also recorded OREO related expenses of $63,000 during 2012 compared to $9,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2011.
At March 31, 2012, the allowance for credit losses stood at $10,285,000, compared to $11,396,000 at December 31, 2011, a net decrease of $1,111,000. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total loans was 2.52% at March 31, 2012, and 2.67% at December 31, 2011. The Company believes the allowance for credit losses is adequate to provide for probable losses inherent within the loan portfolio at March 31, 2012.
Total non-performing assets were $12,395,000, or 1.48% of total assets as of March 31, 2012 compared to $14,434,000 or 1.70% of total assets as of December 31, 2011. Total non-performing assets as of March 31, 2011 were $15,846,000 or 2.07% of total assets.

The Company's net interest margin (fully tax equivalent basis) was 4.37% for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, compared to 4.67% for the quarter ended March 31, 2011. The decrease in net interest margin in the period-to-period comparison resulted primarily from a decrease in the yield on the Company's investment portfolio partially offset by a decrease in the Company's cost of funds. For the quarter ended March 31, 2012, the effective yield on total earning assets decreased 48 basis points to 4.66% compared to 5.14% for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, while the cost of total interest-bearing liabilities decreased 24 basis points to 0.43% compared to 0.67% for the quarter ended March 31, 2011. The amount of the Company's average investment securities, including interest-earning deposits in other banks and Federal funds sold, increased 26.70% while the effective yield on average investment securities decreased to 3.07% for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, compared to 3.45% for the quarter ended March 31, 2011. The decrease in yield in the Company's investment securities during 2012 resulted primarily from the purchase of lower yielding investment securities. Average loans, which generally yield higher rates than investment securities, decreased 3.18%, from $426,234,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 to $412,680,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2012. The effective yield on average loans decreased to 6.10% from 6.40% between March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2012. The cost of total deposits decreased 18 basis points to 0.27% for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, compared to 0.45% for the quarter ended March 31, 2011. Net interest income before the provision for credit losses for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 was $7,666,000, compared to $7,598,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, an increase of $68,000 or 0.89%. Net interest income increased as a result of an increase in average earning assets combined with these yield changes, offset by an increase in interest-bearing liabilities.
Total average assets for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 were $835,548,000 compared to $770,729,000, for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, an increase of $64,819,000 or 8.41%. Total average loans were $412,680,000 for 2012, compared to $426,234,000 for 2011, representing a decrease of $13,554,000 or 3.18%. Total average investments, including deposits in other banks and Federal funds sold, increased to $346,950,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, from $273,827,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, representing an increase of $73,123,000 or 26.70%. Total average deposits increased $55,067,000 or 8.48% to $704,519,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, compared to $649,452,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2011. Average interest-bearing deposits increased $22,524,000, or 4.73%, and average non-interest bearing demand deposits increased $32,543,000, or 18.81%, for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2011. The Company's ratio of average non-interest bearing deposits to total deposits was 29.18% for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, compared to 26.64% for the quarter ended March 31, 2011.
Non-interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 was $1,658,000, compared to $1,748,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2011. The $90,000 decrease resulted primarily from a decrease in gain on sale of other real estate owned of $547,000 during 2012, partially offset by a $363,000 increase in net realized gains on sales and calls of investment securities, a $71,000 increase in loan placement fees, and a $31,000 decrease in net impairment loss recognized in earnings.
Non-interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 decreased $235,000, or 3.29%, to $6,918,000 compared to $7,153,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, primarily due to decreases in occupancy and equipment expenses of $53,000, advertising fees of $44,000, legal fees of $65,000, and regulatory assessments of $133,000, partially offset by increases in salaries and employee benefits of $51,000.
The Company recorded an income tax expense of $293,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, compared to $505,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2011. The effective tax rate for 2012 was 14.61% compared to 24.13% for the quarter ended March 31, 2011.
"The first quarter of 2012 shows consistency in earnings with recent quarters and continued improvement in asset quality. One large credit with a large specific reserve was moved from non-accrual status to OREO and has since been sold and is in escrow," stated Daniel J. Doyle, President and CEO of Central Valley Community Bancorp and Central Valley Community Bank.
"This first quarter of the year is also consistent with our historical trends of loan and deposit reductions compared to the fourth quarter due to the cash flow cycle of agricultural customers and payment of taxes. While there are some signs of modest economic improvement in our markets, interest income is still negatively impacted due to weak loan demand and aggressive pricing and terms by large financial institutions in term lending products. Combined with low yields on securities, and despite our low cost of funds and deposit growth, we continue to see net interest margin constraints on growth which impacts our normal levels of net income," concluded Doyle.
