EASTON, Md., April 26, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Shore Bancshares, Inc. (NASDAQ: SHBI) reported a net loss of $1.1 million or $(0.13) per diluted common share for the first quarter of 2011, compared to net income of $850 thousand or $0.10 per diluted common share for the fourth quarter of 2010, and a net loss of $1.6 million or $(0.19) per diluted common share for the first quarter of 2010. The first quarter of 2011 included a provision for credit losses of $6.4 million, which was $2.0 million higher than the provision for the fourth quarter of 2010 and $1.2 million lower than the provision for the first quarter of 2010.

“We are not yet seeing meaningful improvement in general economic conditions across our Delmarva markets. The values of both commercial and residential real estate remain well below historical levels. As is the case with every banking organization operating in the market, real estate comprises a substantial portion of the underlying collateral for the loan portfolios, so declining property values are largely driving credit quality and our ongoing higher provisioning for possible credit losses,” said W. Moorhead Vermilye, chief executive officer. “Thus, the $6.4 million provision for the first quarter was the main factor affecting our disappointing financial performance. We are moving as aggressively as possible to resolve and work out of troubled credits and to eventually dispose of them, as evidenced by the recent quarterly trend in net chargeoffs. We remain confident that our reserve coverage of problem loans is adequate, and we believe our solid capital position should enable us to patiently outlast this cycle to resume our track record of consistent growth and profitability.”

The Company’s return on average assets for the first quarter of 2011 was (0.39)%, compared to 0.30% and (0.55)% for the quarters ended December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2010, respectively. The return on average stockholders’ equity was (3.59)% for the first quarter of 2011, compared to 2.73% for the fourth quarter of 2010 and (4.95)% for the first quarter of 2010.

Total assets were $1.131 billion at March 31, 2011, compared to $1.130 billion at the end of 2010. Total loans decreased 1.2% to $884.7 million and total deposits increased slightly to $986.5 million, when compared to December 31, 2010. Total stockholders’ equity decreased 1.3% from the end of 2010.

Review of Quarterly Financial Results

Net interest income was $9.9 million for the first quarter of 2011, compared to $10.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2010 and $10.4 million for the first quarter of 2010. A decline in the yields earned on average earning assets was primarily the reason for the decrease in net interest income when compared to the fourth quarter of 2010. The decrease in net interest income when compared to the first quarter of 2010 was primarily due to a decrease in the balances of and yields earned on average earning assets. The Company’s net interest margin was 3.79% for the first quarter of 2011, a decrease of 30 basis points (bp) when compared to the fourth quarter of 2010 and a decrease of 16 bp when compared to the first quarter of 2010.

As previously mentioned, the provision for credit losses was $6.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The comparable amounts were $4.4 million and $7.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2010, respectively. The ratio of the allowance for credit losses to period-end loans increased to 1.97% at March 31, 2011, compared to 1.59% at December 31, 2010 and 1.41% at March 31, 2010. Management believes that the provision for credit losses and the resulting allowance were adequate at March 31, 2011.

The level of provision for credit losses in the first quarter of 2011 was primarily in response to the overall increase in nonperforming assets. In addition, loan charge-offs remain at historically high levels and overall economic conditions have not improved. Net charge-offs were $3.1 million for the first quarter of 2011, compared to $3.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2010 and $5.7 million for the first quarter of 2010. The ratio of quarter-to-date annualized net charge-offs to average loans was 1.44% for the first quarter of 2011, compared to 1.46% for the fourth quarter of 2010 and 2.54% for the first quarter of 2010. The ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets was 4.73% at March 31, 2011. The comparable nonperforming asset ratio was 3.53% at December 31, 2010 and 2.87% at March 31, 2010.

Total noninterest income for the first quarter of 2011 increased $447 thousand when compared to the fourth quarter of 2010 but declined $487 thousand when compared to the first quarter of 2010. The increase when compared to the fourth quarter of 2010 was primarily a result of an increase in insurance agency commissions of $394 thousand due to contingency payments which are typically received in the first quarter of each year and are based on the prior year’s performance. The decline in noninterest income during the first quarter of 2011 when compared to the first quarter of 2010 was primarily due to a decline in insurance agency commissions of $379 thousand, resulting from lower contingency payments.

Total noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2011 increased $809 thousand when compared to the fourth quarter of 2010. Other employee benefits increased $260 thousand mainly due to higher payroll taxes, data processing increased $231 thousand primarily due to charges relating to the merger of The Felton Bank into CNB, and other noninterest expenses increased $158 thousand mainly due to higher expenses related to collection and other real estate owned activities when compared to the fourth quarter of 2010.

Total noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2011 decreased $430 when compared to the first quarter of 2010. Salaries and wages decreased $244 thousand mainly due to lower bonus and stock-based compensation expense, employee benefits decreased $128 thousand primarily due to lower profit sharing expense, and other noninterest expenses decreased $136 thousand mainly due to lower expenses related to other real estate owned activities. Partially offsetting these decreases when compared to the first quarter of 2010 was a $220 thousand increase in data processing mainly due to the charges relating to the merger of The Felton Bank into CNB.
