VINELAND, N.J., July 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Sun Bancorp, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNBC) reported today a net loss available to common shareholders of $81.2 million, or $3.46 loss per diluted share, for the second quarter ended June 30, 2010, compared to a net loss available to common shareholders of $8.8 million, or $0.38 loss per diluted share, for the second quarter ended June 30, 2009. Included in the second quarter 2010 is a goodwill impairment charge of $89.7 million, or $3.24 per share. This non-cash charge had no effect on the Company's or the Bank's cash balances, liquidity, or regulatory capital ratios.

The following are additional key items which affected the results for the second quarter 2010 as compared to the second quarter 2009:

Loan loss provision of $14.0 million, or $0.35 per share, as compared to $6.9 million, or $0.18 per share, for the comparable prior year period.

Goodwill impairment of $89.7 million. Goodwill at June 30, 2010 is $38.2 million, as compared to the linked quarter of $127.9 million.

$2.0 million fair value credit adjustment on customer derivatives.

$1.1 million of personnel related expenses.

An increase in the net interest margin to 3.62% from 3.56% in the first quarter.

The second quarter 2009 included total charges of $10.3 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, as a result of the preferred shares issued and subsequently repurchased under the Troubled Asset Relief Program ("TARP"), the FDIC 5 basis point special assessment, as well as other-than-temporary impairment ("OTTI") charges.

For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company reported a net loss available to common shareholders of $81.9 million, or $3.50 loss per diluted share, as compared to a net loss available to common shareholders of $9.6 million, or $0.42 loss per diluted share for the comparable prior year period. The six months ended June 30, 2010 includes the goodwill impairment charge of $89.7 million, or $3.24 per diluted share. In addition, the 2009 comparable period included total charges of $11.8 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, as a result of the preferred shares issued and subsequently repurchased under the TARP, the FDIC 5 basis point special assessment, as well as OTTI charges.

"As reported earlier and as a key part to the Company's strategic growth plan, we signed investment agreements with private equity funds affiliated with WL Ross and Company, the Bank's founding Brown Family shareholders, and others, to invest $100 million in the Company," remarked Thomas X. Geisel, president and chief executive officer of Sun Bancorp. "The capital allows us not only to absorb the expected impact of this still difficult credit environment but it also allows us the opportunity to look at various strategies to strengthen our balance sheet and grow our business."

"The successful focus to diversify our lending businesses, increase core deposits, loan yields and margin have all continued to trend favorably this quarter. We know we have a strong core business that continues to show brightness through the clouds of the current economy," remarked Geisel.

The following is an overview of the core financial highlights for the quarter:

Total assets were $3.51 billion at June 30, 2010, as compared to $3.53 billion at March 31, 2010 and $3.58 billion at December 31, 2009.

Total loans before allowance for loan losses were $2.75 billion at June 30, 2010, an increase from $2.70 billion at March 31, 2010 and $2.72 billion at December 31, 2009. Commercial loans, on average, were essentially level with the linked first quarter 2010, while residential mortgages increased on average 1.5%, offset by a decrease on home equity loans of 1.5%. Commercial loan demand in the second quarter was tepid although activity increased towards the latter half of the quarter. Commercial line utilization rates remain below historical averages.

The provision for loan losses was $14.0 million for the second quarter 2010, increasing the allowance for loan losses to 2.69% of outstanding loans at June 30, 2010, as compared to the allowance for loan losses to outstanding loans of 2.35% at March 31, 2010 and 1.62% at June 30, 2009. Net charge-offs during the second quarter were $3.5 million, or 0.1% of average loans, as compared to $6.3 million, or 0.23% of average loans for the linked quarter and $2.0 million, or 0.07% of average loans outstanding for the comparable prior year quarter. Higher reserve balances reflect a migration of loans to higher risk categories and continued pressure on collateral values. The Company remains committed to its strategy of prudently and promptly addressing problem credits.

Total non-performing assets were $127.0 million, or 4.62% of total loans and real estate owned, as compared to $89.8 million at March 31, 2010, or 3.32% of total loans and real estate owned and $105.4 million at December 31, 2009, or 3.86% of total loans and real estate owned. The increase in non-performing assets was concentrated in a small number of relationships. The allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans was 59.87% at June 30, 2010, as compared to 73.53% at March 31, 2010 and 62.56% at December 31, 2009. ·

Total deposits were $2.96 billion at June 30, 2010, which increased 1.3% and 1.8% over March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. Average deposits increased $38.5 million, or 1.3% over the linked quarter as average interest-bearing demand deposits increased 1.3%, or $15.8 million, offset by a decrease in average certificates of deposit of $10.5 million, or 1.1%. In addition, average non-interest-bearing deposits increased $30.2 million, or 6.8% over the linked quarter. The Company continues to be successful in replacing higher-yielding term deposits with lower-cost transaction accounts.

The second quarter net interest margin was 3.62%, as compared to the linked quarter of 3.56% and 3.01% for the comparable prior year quarter. The yield on average loans was 4.84% for the second quarter 2010, an increase of five basis points over the linked quarter and one basis point over the comparable prior year quarter. The cost of interest-bearing deposits of 1.16% for the second quarter continues to decrease over prior periods as it decreased seven basis points from 1.23% for the linked quarter and 79 basis points from the comparable prior year quarter. The interest rate spread also increased to 3.39% for the second quarter 2010, as compared to 3.35% for the linked quarter and 2.68% for the comparable prior year quarter. Normalized for non-accrual interest reversals during the period, the Company's net interest margin was 3.74% for the second quarter 2010, as compared to 3.61% for the linked quarter, continuing a positive trend of improvement over the last several quarters.

Total operating non-interest income for the quarter of $4.4 million decreased $1.2 million, or 21.9%, over the linked quarter and $1.9 million, or 29.8% over the comparable prior year quarter. The decrease over the linked first quarter and prior year quarter was primarily attributable to a $2.0 million fair value credit adjustment on the Company's derivative portfolio primarily as a result of the deterioration in credit components of two impaired commercial relationships for which the Company engaged in derivative transactions.

Total operating non-interest expense for the quarter of $28.0 million, increased $1.9 million or 7.3% over linked quarter but was relatively flat with the comparable prior year quarter. The increase over the linked quarter was attributable to increases in personnel expenses of $1.5 million and problem loan costs of $638,000. Personnel expenses increased primarily as a result of $471,000 in severance related to its PRIDE efficiency initiative and $454,000 related to the restructuring of change in control plans. One-time death benefits of $171,000 were also incurred due to the death of an executive officer. The additional expenses related to problem loan costs were as a result of property management fees and construction related costs related to two specific commercial properties held as collateral as well as higher legal expenses.

Sun recently completed an evaluation of goodwill. Having completed this analysis, the Company has determined that $89.7 million of goodwill associated with previous acquisitions was impaired, and this charge is reflected in second quarter results. Such a charge is non-cash in nature and does not affect Sun's liquidity, tangible equity or regulatory capital ratios. Sun will evaluate its remaining goodwill again in the fourth quarter as part of its established annual review process. Goodwill at June 30, 2010 is $38.2 million, as compared to linked quarter of $127.9 million.

The income tax benefit is a result of the pre-tax loss in combination with the relatively large levels of tax-free income earned on tax-exempt securities and BOLI policies.

The Company's ratio of tangible equity to tangible assets was 6.43% at June 30, 2010, as compared to 6.34% at March 31, 2010 and 6.24% at December 31, 2009. At June 30, 2010, the Company's total risk-based capital ratio is estimated to be 11.08%, Tier 1 capital ratio is estimated to be 9.81%, and the leverage capital ratio is estimated to be 8.60%, subject to regulatory filings.
