Capital Pacific Bancorp Announces Earnings for Fourth Quarter and Full Year of 2008

PORTLAND, OR, Jan 22, 2009 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) -- CPBO | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Capital Pacific Bancorp (OTCBB: CPBO | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating) reported net income of $114,000 or earnings of $0.07 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2008, compared to a net loss of $855,000 and $0.55 loss per diluted share in the fourth quarter last year. For the year 2008, net income was $1,256,000, or earnings of $0.74 per diluted share, compared to a net loss in 2007 of $486,000, or $0.31 loss per diluted share. Net income for 2008 was positively impacted by a pre-tax $1.3 million recovery related to a $2.0 million loan that was charged off in 2007. Excluding the recovery, net income for 2008 would have been $447,000, or earnings of $0.26 per share.

"We are pleased to have remained profitable in 2008, particularly given that 2008 has been a tumultuous year for many in the financial sector, both locally and at the national level," said Mark Stevenson, CEO of Capital Pacific Bancorp.

Loans and reserve for loan losses

As of December 31, 2008, loans totaled $135.3 million, an increase of $5.1 million when compared to the third quarter of 2008 and up $6.7 million for the year. Loan growth remains lower than prior reporting periods, reflecting the decline in the local economy.

"We continue to reduce the underlying credit risk in our loan portfolio, by increasing sector diversity and collateral, and reducing our exposure to residential development loans," said Stevenson. "Overall, residential development loans are less than 5% of total loans."

The Company's reserve for loan losses remained unchanged from the third quarter of 2008 at $2.9 million and equals 2.17% of total loans. Management considers the Company's reserve for loan losses to be appropriate given prevailing economic conditions.

The following table provides information about the Company's reserve for loan losses:

Quarter- Quarter- Year- Year- to-date to-date to-date to-date December December December December 31, 31, 31, 31, 2008 2007 2008 2007 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Reserve for loan losses, beginning of period $2,917,000 $2,313,000 $2,403,000 $1,280,000 Provision for (recovery of) loan losses 463,000 2,103,000 (40,000) 3,189,000 Loan charge-offs (687,000) (2,039,000) (739,000) (2,108,000) Loan recoveries 236,000 26,000 1,305,000 42,000 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Reserve for loan losses, end of period $2,929,000 $2,402,000 $2,929,000 $2,402,000

Non-performing assets

At December 31, 2008, non-performing assets were $2.6 million, or 1.86% of total assets, and 12.7% of total capital. There were no loans past due 90 days or more. Non-performing assets include both non-performing loans and other real estate owned.

At December 31, 2008, the company had one non-performing loan of $970,000 for a residential development in Vancouver, Washington. This loan is believed to be adequately secured by the underlying collateral based upon a discounted appraisal. The Company is moving toward foreclosure on this property.

At December 31, 2008, the Company had $1.7 million in other real estate owned representing two properties. One property is a commercial building valued at $350,000 which is expected to sell in early 2009. The Company also owns land in southern Oregon valued at $1.3 million. The disposition of this property is expected as soon as market conditions improve.

Capital adequacy

On December 23, 2008, the Company issued $4 million in preferred stock as part of the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Capital Purchase Program (TCPP). TCPP is designed to attract broad participation by banking institutions to help stabilize the financial system and increase lending for the benefit of the U.S. economy.

"Our intent is to use the funds to support continued growth while maintaining healthy capital ratios during this difficult economic cycle," said Stevenson. "As a local community bank, we are very supportive of opportunities to deploy new capital on behalf of Oregonians and our local businesses."

The company continues to be classified as well-capitalized by regulatory standards. The Company's total risk-based capital ratio is 15.8% at December 31, 2008. To be considered well-capitalized, a company must have total risked-based capital equal to 10.0% of risk-weighted assets.

Deposits

Average client deposits of $89.6 million are virtually unchanged when compared to the last several reporting periods; client deposits totaled $90.1 million at quarter-end. The Company has posted solid growth in new clients, and overall account retention is strong. However, new deposit growth has been offset by fluctuations in client accounts driven by client-specific circumstances and other economic factors. Client deposits are defined as total deposits excluding brokered or nationally sourced deposits.

Net interest margin

The net interest margin was 4.69% in the fourth quarter of 2008, down 5 basis points from the previous quarter and down 33 basis points compared to the same quarter last year. The net interest margin in the fourth quarter of 2008 included approximately $20,000 in pre-payment penalties. Excluding the pre-payment penalties, the interest margin was 4.63%.

Other financial highlights

-- Income associated with the sale of loans in the fourth quarter of 2008 totaled $16,000 compared to $102,000 for the previous quarter, and $112,000 in the same quarter last year. The Company anticipates that income associated with the sale of loans will be much lower than in previous periods due to significant declines in investor interest in government- guaranteed and commercial real estate loans. -- Non-interest expense in the fourth quarter of 2008 totaled $1.2 million, down slightly when compared to the prior quarter and the same quarter last year. For the year, non-interest expense increased to $5.5 million in 2008 from $5.0 million in 2007, an increase of 11%. The increase was due to growth in compensation and professional fees. The Company has since reduced its workforce and expects to severely limit the growth in non- interest expenses in 2009.
