The company, which has branches in central Alabama, had a loan loss provision of $11.1 million for the quarter.
"BancTrust's first-quarter loss reflected continued softness in the economy and its impact on real estate-based loans in our coastal markets, which accounted for the majority of our losses," W. Bibb Lamar Jr., CEO and president, said in a news release.
"We remain highly focused on addressing our non-performing loans and foreclosed real estate, and improving our credit quality."
