Southern Community Financial Corporation (NASDAQ: SCMF) (NASDAQ:
SCMFO), the holding company for Southern Community Bank and Trust,
reported net income of $1.63 million for the third quarter of 2008,
compared with $600 thousand in second quarter of 2008 and $1.72
million in the third quarter of 2007. Diluted earnings per share
were $0.09 for the third quarter 2008 compared with $0.03 in second
quarter and $0.10 in third quarter 2007. The Board of Directors
declared a quarterly dividend of $0.04 per share which is
consistent with the previous dividend.
Net income was impacted by a loss on derivatives of $437
thousand on an after-tax basis ($641 thousand on a pre-tax basis),
resulting from the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers, the counterparty
for certain derivative contracts. Excluding this loss, diluted
earnings per share amounted to $0.12. On a pre-tax basis, $440
thousand was a nonrecurring loss on the derivative position, which
impacted non-interest income, and $201 thousand in interest income
was lost from the termination of certain derivative contracts.
Asset Quality
During the third quarter of 2008, nonperforming loans decreased
to $12.0 million (or 0.91% of total loans) from $12.8 million (or
1.00% of total loans). Nonperforming assets increased slightly to
$15.1 million (or 0.84% of total assets) from $14.2 million (or
0.80% of total assets) at June 30, 2008. Net charge-offs totaled
$920 thousand during the third quarter, or 0.28% of average loans
on an annualized basis, a modest increase compared to $884 thousand
(or 0.28% of average loans, annualized) in second quarter 2008.
Nonperforming loans, nonperforming assets and net charge-offs
activity continue to be predominantly related to residential
construction and development lending as 85% of nonperforming loans,
86% of nonperforming assets and 80% of net charge-offs originated
from this segment of the loan portfolio. The provision for loan
losses of $1.35 million for the third quarter decreased $2.18
million compared to the second quarter 2008 and increased $775
thousand compared to the third quarter 2007. The allowance for loan
losses at September 30, 2008 of $17.9 million represented 1.35% of
total loans and 1.49 times nonperforming loans compared with 1.36%
of loans and 1.37 times nonperforming loans at June 30, 2008.
"We continued to make progress in working with our customers to
resolve problem credits during the third quarter," said F. Scott
Bauer, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "While the economic
environment remains challenging, we expect our nonperforming assets
to increase slightly, yet remain manageable in the fourth quarter.
Reserves as a percentage of total loans are expected to remain at
current levels. Our executive management team continues to monitor
problem credits weekly. Our loan officers include individuals with
decades of experience in the construction industry, affording us a
unique perspective in working through the risks associated with
this segment of the loan portfolio.
While managing the challenges of the current credit environment
remains our top priority, we are also focused on profitable growth.
We expect to benefit from opportunities caused by recent market
disruption through the acquisition of new long-term customer
relationships from other banks. Loan and deposit pricing across our
markets is becoming more rational, which should help to offset the
effect of the most recent round of rate cuts on our net interest
margin during the fourth quarter of 2008. We are focused on core
deposit growth.
We remain well capitalized with good liquidity. We believe the
allowance for loan losses is adequate for losses inherent in the
loan portfolio at September 30, 2008. We are planning to
participate in the Treasury's Capital Purchase Program to provide
us with sufficient capital to take advantage of current and future
market opportunities."
Financial Performance
Net interest income of $11.9 million for the third quarter 2008
increased by 1% compared with $11.8 million in the second quarter
2008, and 8% over the $11.0 million in the third quarter 2007. Net
interest margin of 2.88% for the third quarter 2008 decreased 11
basis point from 2.99% compared with the linked quarter and
declined 28 basis points from 3.16% for the third quarter 2007.
Growth in net interest income was impacted by the $201 thousand
lost benefit from the terminated derivative contracts and an $80
thousand decrease in our quarterly dividend on Federal Home Loan
Bank stock compared with the second quarter. These factors combined
had an impact on net interest margin of nine basis points.
Non-interest income of $2.1 million during the third quarter
decreased by $1.0 million or 33% compared with the second quarter
2008 primarily due to the $440 thousand nonrecurring loss on
certain terminated derivative contracts compared with a $330
thousand gain on derivative activity during second quarter 2008.
Also affecting non-interest income was a $139 thousand decrease in
mortgage banking income and a $50 thousand decrease in wealth
management income on a sequential basis, both attributable to lower
transaction volumes. On a year-over-year basis, non-interest income
decreased by $469 thousand or 18%.
Non-interest expenses of $10.2 million for the third quarter
2008 decreased $468 thousand or 4% annualized on a linked quarter
basis and $145 thousand or 1% year over year. As an annualized
percentage of average assets, the expense load represented 2.27% of
average assets for the third quarter 2008, decreasing from 2.47%
for the second quarter 2008 and 2.69% for the third quarter
2007.
As of September 30, 2008, total assets amounted to $1.80
billion, representing an increase of $249.1 million, or 16%
year-over-year driven by strong loan growth. On a linked quarter
basis, asset growth slowed to $26.1 million or 1%. The loan
portfolio grew by $38.3 million or 3% sequentially during the third
quarter and $134.9 million or 11% for the first nine months of
2008. Total deposits stood at $1.3 billion at September 30, 2008,
an increase of $229.3 million or 22% year-over-year and an increase
of $45.6 million or 4% over the June 30, 2008 level.
At September 30, 2008, stockholders' equity of $142.8 million
represented 7.9% of total assets. Stockholders' equity increased
$948 thousand or 1% from $141.9 million at June 30, 2008 as a
result of a $1.6 million in earnings less $695 thousand in cash
dividends paid. Regulatory capital ratios remain in excess of the
"well capitalized" threshold.
