TROY, N.C., July 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- First Bancorp (Nasdaq: FBNC), the parent company of First Bank, announced today net income available to common shareholders of $2.9 million, or $0.17 per diluted common share, for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and $6.3 million, or $0.38 per diluted common share, for the six months ended June 30, 2010.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company reported earnings of $43.5 million, or $2.61 per diluted common share, and $46.6 million, or $2.80 per diluted common share, respectively.

In the second quarter of 2009, the Company realized a $67.9 million gain related to the acquisition of Cooperative Bank in Wilmington, North Carolina.  This gain resulted from the difference between the purchase price and the acquisition-date fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities.  The after-tax impact of this gain was $41.1 million, or $2.46 per diluted common share.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income for the second quarter of 2010 amounted to $31.5 million, a 34.5% increase over the second quarter of 2009.  Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2010 amounted to $62.7 million, a 37.7% increase over the comparable period of 2009.  The increase in net interest income was due to balance sheet growth realized from the Cooperative Bank acquisition and a higher net interest margin.

The Company's net interest margin (tax-equivalent net interest income divided by average earnings assets) in the second quarter of 2010 was 4.35%, a 19 basis point increase from the 4.16% realized in the first quarter of 2010, and a 61 basis point increase from the 3.74% margin realized in the second quarter of 2009.  The primary reason for the increase in the net interest margin is that the Company has been able to lower rates on maturing time deposits that were originated in periods of higher interest rates.

The Company's net interest income has also been impacted by certain purchase accounting adjustments related to the June 2009 acquisition of Cooperative Bank and to a lesser degree the 2008 acquisition of Great Pee Dee Bancorp.  See page 5 of the Financial Summary for a table that presents the impact of the purchase accounting adjustments.

Provision for Loan Losses and Asset Quality

The Company's provision for loan losses amounted to $8.0 million in the second quarter of 2010 compared to $7.6 million in the first quarter of 2010 and $3.9 million in the second quarter of 2009.  The higher provision for loan losses is a result of higher levels of classified and nonperforming assets and the impact of declining real estate values on the Company's collateral dependent real estate loans.

The increases in the provisions for loan losses are primarily attributable to the Company's "non-covered" loan portfolio, which excludes loans assumed from Cooperative Bank that are subject to loss share agreements with the FDIC.  The Company does not expect to record any significant loan loss provisions in the foreseeable future related to the loan portfolio acquired from Cooperative Bank because these loans were written down to estimated fair market value in connection with recording the acquisition.

The Company's non-covered nonperforming assets amounted to $108 million at June 30, 2010, compared to $101 million at March 31, 2010 and $53 million at June 30, 2009.   At June 30, 2010, the ratio of non-covered nonperforming assets to total non-covered assets was 3.89%, compared to 3.58% at March 31, 2010, and 1.82% at June 30, 2009.  

The Company's ratio of annualized net charge-offs to average non-covered loans was 1.05% for the second quarter of 2010 compared to 1.01% in the first quarter of 2010 and 0.49% in the second quarter of 2009.

The Company's nonperforming assets that are covered by FDIC loss share agreements amounted to $187 million at June 30, 2010, compared to $185 million at March 31, 2010 and $91 million at June 30, 2009.  The Company continues to submit reimbursement claims to the FDIC on a regular basis.

Noninterest Income

Total noninterest income was $4.5 million in the second quarter of 2010 and $10.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010.  This compares to noninterest income of $72.8 million for the second quarter of 2009 and $77.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009.  Each of the periods in 2009 include a $67.9 million gain related to the June 2009 acquisition of Cooperative Bank.  Most other categories of noninterest income increased as a result of the larger customer base that resulted from the Cooperative Bank acquisition.  

In the second quarter of 2010, the Company recorded $1.2 million in write-downs (net of FDIC reimbursable amounts) on foreclosed properties covered by FDIC loss sharing agreements, which is included in "Other gains (losses)" in the accompanying schedules.   The write-downs were necessary as a result of updated appraisals obtained on these properties during the quarter.

Noninterest Expenses

Noninterest expenses amounted to $22.0 million in the second quarter of 2010, a 14.3% increase over the $19.2 million recorded in the same period of 2009.  Noninterest expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2010 amounted to $44.2 million, a 25.9% increase from the $35.1 million recorded in the first six months of 2009.  The increase is primarily attributable to incremental operating expenses associated with the Cooperative Bank acquisition that occurred late in the second quarter of 2009.  Included in other noninterest expenses for the second quarter of 2010 are approximately $0.7 million in costs associated with collection activities on loans and foreclosed properties covered by FDIC loss sharing agreements, compared to $1 million in the first quarter of 2010 and zero for the first six months of 2009.  During the first quarter of 2010, the Company was also impacted by a fraud loss of $0.6 million.

The Company's effective tax rate has declined from approximately 39% in 2009 to 36% in 2010 as a result of purchases of tax-exempt investment securities during 2010.

Balance Sheet and Capital

Total assets at June 30, 2010 amounted to $3.3 billion, a 6.0% decrease from a year earlier.  Total loans at June 30, 2010 amounted to $2.6 billion, a 7.8% decrease from a year earlier, and total deposits amounted to $2.8 billion at June 30, 2010, a 2.8% decrease from a year earlier.  

The Company continues to experience a general decline in loans, with loans decreasing approximately $98 million, or 3.7%, since December 31, 2009.  Although the Company originates and renews a significant amount of loans each month, normal paydowns of loans are exceeding new loan growth.  Overall, loan demand remains weak in most of the Company's market areas.

The Company's deposits declined by $138 million, or 4.7%, during the first six months of 2010.  This decrease was primarily a result of the loss of $117 million in relatively high-cost time deposits, including $73 million in internet time deposits, that matured and were not renewed during the first six months of 2010.  Brokered deposits remained at a low level at June 30, 2010, comprising just 3.3% of total deposits, with internet deposits comprising an additional 2.0%.  

The Company remains well-capitalized by all regulatory standards with a Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio of 16.43% compared to the 10.00% minimum to be considered well-capitalized.  The Company's tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio was 6.56% at June 30, 2010, an increase of 96 basis points from a year earlier.  The Company continues to have outstanding $65 million in preferred stock that was issued to the US Treasury in January 2009.  

Comments of the President and Other Business Matters

Jerry L. Ocheltree, President and CEO of First Bancorp, commented on today's report, "I am pleased to report another profitable quarter for the company.  Many of the underlying trends are positive as well, including a rising net interest margin, increased capital levels, and our lowest quarterly increase in nonperforming assets since the beginning of the recession.  Our strong position allows us to continue to lend money in the communities we serve."

Mr. Ocheltree noted the following other corporate developments:

  • First Bank is holding 75th anniversary celebrations throughout the branch network during August.  First Bank opened for business in Troy, North Carolina in 1935.
  • The Company opened a branch in Christiansburg, Virginia on May 24, 2010.  This branch is the Company's sixth in southwestern Virginia.
  • On May 26, 2010, the Company announced a quarterly cash dividend of $0.08 cents per share payable on July 23, 2010 to shareholders of record on June 30, 2010.  This is the same dividend rate as the Company declared in the second quarter of 2009.
  • During the second quarter of 2010, the Company's data processing subsidiary, Montgomery Data Services, was merged into First Bank.  Montgomery Data Services had ceased providing data processing services to banks other than First Bank earlier in the year, and the Company decided it no longer desired to offer these services to other banks.
  • There was no stock repurchase activity during 2010.

First Bancorp is a bank holding company headquartered in Troy, North Carolina with total assets of approximately $3.3 billion.  Its principal activity is the ownership and operation of First Bank, a state-chartered community bank that now operates 92 branches, with 77 branches operating in the central Piedmont and coastal regions of North Carolina, 9 branches in South Carolina (Cheraw, Dillon, Florence, Latta, Jefferson, and Little River), and 6 branches in Virginia (Abingdon, Christiansburg, Dublin, Fort Chiswell, Radford, and Wytheville), where First Bank does business as First Bank of Virginia.
