BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Jul 31, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- NXTY | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Nexity Financial Corporation (NASDAQ: NXTY):

Second Quarter 2008 Summary:

-- Raised $10 million in trust preferred securities to strengthen capital ratios which remain well capitalized: Total Risk-Based Capital 10.53%, Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital 9.23%, Leverage Ratio 8.40%

-- Net loss of $0.35 in the quarter

-- Proactively identifying and managing problem credits: charged off $2.9 million in the second quarter and increased nonperforming assets $30.3 million bringing nonperforming assets to 4.87% of total assets

-- Strengthened loan loss reserve to 1.62% of net loans at June 30, 2008 versus 1.36% at March 31, 2008

-- Total loans of $729.0 million, up 15.9% from last year and 45.2% annualized from the 1st Quarter

-- Improved liquidity position with total deposit growth of $107.5 million or 77.1% annualized from the 1st Quarter to $668.6 million

-- Strong noninterest income growth during the second quarter of 2008 of 378.4% compared with the second quarter of 2007

Nexity Financial Corporation (NASDAQ: NXTY | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating) today reported a second quarter net loss of $2.75 million, or ($0.35) per diluted share compared with net income of $1.14 million, or $0.13 per diluted share for the same period in 2007 and $679,470, or $0.08 per diluted share for the first quarter in 2008. The decrease in earnings was primarily related to a higher provision for loan losses related to an increased level of nonperforming loans and net charge-offs. Net interest income was up from the first quarter and noninterest income continues to be strong. Noninterest income was up $2,227,344 or 378.4% from the same quarter in 2007 primarily due to significantly increased revenue from our investment division.

During the second quarter of 2008, we issued $10.0 million in trust preferred securities to strengthen our capital position during this challenging banking environment. The total risk-based capital, tier 1 risk-based capital, and leverage ratios at June 30, 2008 were 10.53%, 9.23%, and 8.40%, respectively, compared with 10.93%, 9.94%, and 8.72%, respectively, at June 30, 2007. Each of these ratios is above the "well capitalized" regulatory minimums of 10%, 6%, and 5%, respectively.

We are aggressively addressing our problem credits and have established a special asset management initiative spear-headed by a seasoned professional. Individual and unique strategies are being developed to maximize our recovery efforts for each credit relationship. As previously stated we believe the middle part of this year, specifically the second and third quarters of 2008, will prove to be difficult from a charge-off and non-performing asset standpoint. These anticipated results are disappointing but not unexpected given the extreme difficulties being experienced in the markets and geographies we serve.

Loan growth was outstanding during the quarter as we grew $74.1 million or 45.2% annualized from March 31, 2008. This was the most favorable loan growth quarter in our history. Loan demand has improved because community banks are selling more loans to improve their liquidity and manage their capital levels. These loans included owner occupied commercial real estate projects with excellent credit quality characteristics as well as income producing properties; we also experienced a higher level of loans made directly to banks and bank holding companies.

"The current difficult economic environment is producing increased demand from our community bank customers for help with their liquidity and capital needs," said Greg Lee, Chairman and CEO of Nexity Financial Corporation. "This translates into an opportunity for Nexity to selectively grow its loan portfolio in higher quality credits such as owner occupied and income producing properties, as well as loans made directly to banks and bank holding companies. We are committed to continuing to assist our community bank customers during these difficult times in our industry by providing superior correspondent banking services and helping them manage their liquidity and capital."

Return on average assets and return on average equity were (1.08%) and (15.92%), respectively, for the second quarter of 2008 compared with 0.29% and 3.95% during the first quarter in 2008 and 0.51% and 6.91% for the second quarter of 2007.

For the six months ended June 30, 2008, net loss was $2.15 million or ($0.27) per diluted share compared to net income of $2.71 million or $0.31 per diluted share during the same period in 2007. Return on average assets and return on average equity were (0.43%) and (6.01%), respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared with 0.63% and 8.25% for the same period in 2007.

Total assets grew to $1.10 billion at June 30, 2008, up $173.8 million or 18.8% from the $923.3 million reported at June 30, 2007. Total loans were $729.0 million at June 30, 2008, up $100.0 million or 15.9% from the $629.0 million reported at June 30, 2007. Total deposits were $668.6 million at June 30, 2008, down $24.5 million or 3.35% from the $693.1 million reported at June 30, 2007 but were up $107.5 million or 76.8% annualized from March 31, 2008.

Net interest income was $5.3 million for the second quarter of 2008 up 5.6% annualized from the first quarter of 2008 and down 16.5% from the same period in 2007. The net interest margin was 2.20% compared with 2.35% in the first quarter of 2008 and 2.95% for the same period in 2007. The net interest margin was lower in 2008 primarily due to the declining interest rate environment, write-down of accrued interest on loans placed on nonaccrual status, and the level of loans that are on nonaccrual status. The write-down of accrued interest cost the net interest margin approximately 9 basis points during the second quarter versus 5 basis points during the first quarter. The cost to the net interest margin of carrying nonaccrual loans was approximately 18 basis points in the second quarter versus 9 basis points in the first quarter. While we have continued to reprice our maturing CDs lower, competitive pressures have kept these costs elevated compared to other money market rates like the federal funds rate.

Average interest-earning assets for the second quarter of 2008 increased 14.1% from last year and 36.5% annualized from the first quarter of 2008. Average earning assets were higher because of strong growth in loans outstanding. Average loans were up $74.1 million or 12.3% from last year and $41.9 million or 26.5% annualized from the first quarter of 2008.

The provision for loan losses during the second quarter of 2008 was $5,835,000 versus $900,000 for the first quarter of 2008 and $440,000 for the same period in 2007. The provision for loan losses was higher primarily because of net charge-offs and an increase in nonperforming loans. Net charge-offs for the second quarter of 2008 were $2,864,244 or 1.71% of average loans on an annualized basis versus a net recovery of $6,742 or 0.00% for the first quarter of 2008 and net charge-offs of $23,231 or 0.02% for the same period in 2007. Charge-offs were escalated in the second quarter primarily due to a $2.81 million charge-off on a loan to an individual investor secured by stock in a bank holding company located in Atlanta, Georgia.

Noninterest income for the second quarter of 2008 was $2,816,041, up $2.2 million or 378.4% from the $588,697 reported for the same period in 2007 and down $608,073 or 17.8% from the $3,424,114 reported for the first quarter of 2008. Noninterest income was up significantly from a year ago primarily because of an increase in income from the brokerage and investment services division. Income from this division reached an all-time high of $3.0 million during the first quarter of 2008 and was $2.3 million in the second quarter of 2008. Income from bank-owned life insurance, service charges on deposit accounts and other fee income associated with our clearing and cash management business with correspondent banks were also up substantially during the second quarter of 2008.

Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2008 was $7.26 million, which was up $333,410 or 4.8% from the $6.93 million reported for the first quarter of 2008 and up $2.3 million or 47.3% from the $4.93 million reported for the same period in 2007. Noninterest expense was higher than the first quarter primarily due to a $501,000 increase in the write-down of other real estate owned. Noninterest expense was higher in 2008 compared with 2007 primarily due to incentive pay increases related to the significant growth of investment division revenue and costs related to other real estate owned and the workout of nonperforming loans.

The efficiency ratio was 89.57% for the second quarter of 2008 which was up from the 80.17% reported for the first quarter of 2008 and the 71.21% reported for the same period in 2007. While noninterest revenues have grown significantly over the last few quarters, lower net interest income and higher overhead expense have had an adverse effect on the efficiency ratio. We expect the efficiency ratio to improve during the second half of 2008 as the net interest margin begins to improve and we control the growth of overhead expense.

Credit quality continues to be a challenge in the current credit environment. Nonperforming loans were $50.7 million or 6.95% of total loans at June 30, 2008 compared with $19.7 million or 3.01% of total loans at March 31, 2008. Nonperforming assets were $53.4 million or 4.87% of total assets at June 30, 2008 compared with $23.1 million or 2.32% of total assets at March 31, 2008, and $4.9 million or 0.53% of total assets at June 30, 2007. Nonperforming loans and assets were up from the first quarter of 2008 primarily due to the addition of three land loans totaling $12.3 million located in the Atlanta area and two condo projects totaling $21.4 million in Florida. While we believe we are well secured in each of these loans, due to the sharp decrease in real estate values in each of these market areas we established specific reserves for these loans totaling $1.5 million. During the second quarter we reassessed each of our impaired loans and increased our specific reserves associated with certain of these loans due to further declines in real estate values. The allowance for loan losses was 1.62% of total loans at June 30, 2008 compared with 1.36% at March 31, 2008.
