Randy Ferrell, President and CEO said, "The first quarter of 2013 was highlighted by lower levels of net loan charge-offs, reduced provision for loan loss and decreased noninterest expense; all positive trends for the bank. Although improvement in asset quality was better this quarter compared with the two previous quarters, we still have work ahead to reduce our problem assets to a better level."
The bank continues to work through the two problem loans in the hospitality sector, which currently comprise over 65 percent of the nonperforming loan balance. One of these loans was paid down by an additional $440,000 in the first quarter 2013, with the remaining balance of $3.56 million scheduled to be repaid during the quarter ending June 30, 2013.
Net interest margin was 3.59% and 3.89% for the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The decline in margin from the first quarter of 2012 was due primarily to a decrease in average loan balances in addition to lower interest rates earned on loans. The lower loan rates were due in large part to the problem loans put on nonaccrual status during the second half of 2012. Net interest income for the first quarter of 2013 decreased $552,000 or 10.2% when compared with the same period in 2012. The average yield on earning assets declined 45 basis points to 4.24% while cost of funds decreased 17 basis points to 0.78% from the first quarter 2012.
Ferrell said, "Given the historically low interest rate environment, our loan and investment portfolios have adjusted downward to rate movements to a greater extent than our deposit base."
The provision for loan losses was $167,000 in the first quarter of 2013 compared with $500,000 in the prior year quarter. Net charge-offs totaled $337,000 for the current quarter and included $25,000 of recoveries, compared with $351,000 of net charge-offs in the prior year quarter and included $6,000 of recoveries. Allowance for loan losses was $6.1 million or 1.35% of total loans at March 31, 2013 compared with $6.9 million or 1.50% at March 31, 2012. The ratio of net charge-offs to average loans outstanding for the first quarter of 2013 was 0.07% compared with 0.08% for 2012.
Nonperforming assets were $11.9 million or 1.99% of total assets at March 31, 2013, compared with $12.4 million or 2.06% of total assets at December 31, 2012 and $6.9 million or 1.16% of total assets at March 31, 2012. Included in nonperforming assets at March 31, 2013 were $10.4 million of nonperforming loans, $1.4 million of other real estate owned and $79,000 of nonperforming corporate bond investments. Of the $10.4 million in nonperforming loans, $6.79 million comprised of two nonperforming hospitality loans in the portfolio. Other real estate owned ("OREO") decreased to $1.4 million at March 31, 2013 compared with $1.8 million at March 31, 2012. The ratio of nonperforming loans to total loans at the period's end was 2.31% compared with 2.36% at December 31, 2012 and 1.06% for the same period in 2012.
Noninterest income, excluding securities gains and losses, decreased $42,000 or 2.8% to $1.44 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 compared with $1.48 million from the prior year's first quarter. Service charges on deposit accounts decreased $108,000 or 15.61% to $584,000 for the first quarter 2013 compared with $692,000 for the same quarter of 2012. The decrease was partially offset by an increase of $51,000 in brokerage income during the first quarter of 2013 compared with the first quarter of 2012.
Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2013 decreased $269,000 or 5.3% to $4.8 million compared with $5.1 million for the same period in 2012. The decrease was driven by a $308,000 or 11.4% decline in salaries and employee benefits expense primarily due to the reduction in the incentive pay accrual for the first quarter of 2013. Legal and consulting expenses increased by $48,000 or 18.7% largely attributable to an increase in legal fees related to the impaired hospitality loans.
Total assets increased slightly to $596.8 million at March 31, 2013 compared with $594.2 million at March 31, 2012. Total loans, net decreased to $443.6 million at March 31, 2013 compared with $450.3 million at March 31, 2012. Total deposits were $509.6 million at March 31, 2013 compared with $511.2 million at March 31, 2012. Transaction deposits (Demand and NOW) grew $15.6 million to $268.9 million compared with $253.3 million in the first quarter of 2012. Transaction accounts now represent 52.8% of total deposits.
At March 31, 2013, the Company's leverage ratio was 9.09%, compared with 8.90% at March 31, 2012. The Company's tier 1 and total risk-based ratios were 12.42% and 13.67%, respectively, at March 31, 2013 and 12.10% and 13.35% at March 31, 2012. The minimum capital ratios to be considered "Well Capitalized" by the Federal Reserve are 5% for the leverage ratio, 6% for the tier 1 risk-based ratio, and 10% for the total risk-based ratio.
