ATLANTA, July 16, 2009 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- LION | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Fidelity Southern Corporation ("Fidelity" or "the Company") (Nasdaq: LION), holding company for Fidelity Bank (the "Bank"), reported a net loss of $2.8 million for the second quarter of 2009 compared to a net loss of $902 thousand for the second quarter of 2008 and a net loss of $3.4 million for the first quarter of 2009. Basic and diluted loss per share for the second quarter of 2009 were $.37 compared to a loss per share of $.09 for the second quarter of 2008 and a loss per share of $.43 for the first quarter in 2009. Net loss for the first six months of 2009 was $6.2 million compared to net income of $208 thousand for the same period in 2008. Basic and diluted loss per share for the first six months of 2009 were $.80 compared to income per share of $.02 for the same period in 2008.

Chairman James B. Miller, Jr. said, "Credit quality, past dues, and charge-offs in our consumer lending portfolio have improved over the six-month period since December 31, 2008. Based on the improving credit quality of our consumer lending portfolio, we believe the worst of the recession is behind us. The continued sale of distressed property in the Atlanta market has caused appraised values to continue to decline, although at a slower rate than previously. In this environment, we have had to continue to increase reserves against construction loans. The Jacksonville market, contrasted to Atlanta, appears to have stabilized. Based on the recent sales we have experienced, it also appears that the Atlanta market is very near stabilization. The commercial real estate market does appear to be weakening more rapidly. However, we have limited non-owner occupied commercial real estate."

CAPITAL

Fidelity reported a total risk based capital ratio for the Bank of 12.49% at June 30, 2009, compared to 10.35% at June 30, 2008, reflecting the $48.2 million TARP investment from the U.S. Treasury in December 2008. The Leverage Capital ratio at the Bank was 8.77% at June 30, 2009, compared to 7.96% at June 30, 2008. Both ratios exceeded required regulatory minimums for well capitalized institutions.

LIQUIDITY

The Company's net liquid asset ratio, defined as federal funds sold, investments maturing within 30 days, unpledged securities, available unsecured federal funds lines of credit, FHLB borrowing capacity and available brokered certificates of deposit divided by total assets increased from 6.2% at June 30, 2008 and 13.1% at December 31, 2008 to 15.3% at June 30, 2009.

ALLOWANCE AND PROVISION

Fidelity reported an increase in the allowance for loan losses to $36.7 million or 2.79% of total loans at June 30, 2009, from $22.5 million at June 30, 2008, and $33.7 million at year-end 2008.

The provision for loan losses for the second quarter of 2009 was $7.2 million compared to $5.9 million for the same period in 2008, due to increased charge-offs in the construction and consumer loan portfolios during the second quarter of 2009 as compared to the second quarter of 2008. The provision for loan losses for the first six months of 2009 was $16.8 million compared to $10.5 million for the same period in 2008. Total net charge-offs decreased to $6.0 million in the second quarter of 2009 from $7.8 million in the first quarter of 2009, but were higher than the $2.4 million for the second quarter of 2008. Year to date, net charge-offs increased $9.3 million for the first six months of 2009 to $13.8 million compared to $4.5 million for the same period in 2008. The ratio of net charge-offs to average loans outstanding was 2.08% for the first six months of 2009 compared to .63% for the same period in 2008. However, the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans also increased from 1.56% at June 30, 2008, and 2.43% at December 31, 2008, to 2.79% at June 30, 2009.

NONPERFORMING ASSETS

Nonperforming loans, repossessions and other real estate ("ORE") totaled $118.1 million at the end of the second quarter of 2009, a decrease of $5.4 million from March 31, 2009.

Nonperforming residential construction and development loans at June 30, 2009, included 179 houses and 613 lots and land totaling approximately $79.7 million. During the quarter approximately $6.6 million of nonperforming construction loans were paid down by our customers while approximately $6.4 million in construction loans were moved to nonperforming.

During the second quarter, $2.9 million of ORE assets were sold while $11.5 million were added to ORE. ORE consists of 65 houses, representing 51% of the total ORE balance, 208 lots and three commercial properties. ORE increased to $25.0 million at June 30, 2009, from $16.5 million at March 31, 2009 and $15.1 million at December 31, 2008.

REAL ESTATE

New residential construction loan advances made during the quarter totaled $4.2 million, while the payoffs of construction loans totaled $17.2 million. Residential construction and A&D loans totaled $193.7 million at June 30, 2009, which was down 9.6% from $214.2 million at March 31, 2009. There were 466 houses and 1,765 lots financed at June 30, 2009, compared to 651 houses and 2,024 lots at June 30, 2008.

Total residential and commercial construction and land loans decreased to $200.5 million or 15.3% of loans from $245.2 million or 17.7% of loans at December 31, 2008, and $289.9 million or 20.1% of loans at June 30, 2008, and as a percentage of capital decreased from 121% at March 31, 2009, to 104% at June 30, 2009. The regulatory guideline is a maximum of 100%.

All real estate loans, except for owner-occupied properties, as a percentage of capital decreased to 160% at June 30, 2009 from 172% at March 31, 2009. The regulatory guideline is a maximum of 300%.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income for the second quarter remained relatively stable when compared to the same period in 2008. While the net interest margin decreased 23 basis points to 2.72% in the second quarter of 2009 compared to 2.95% in the second quarter of 2008, the decrease was nearly offset by an increase in the average total interest earning assets of $132.4 million or 8.0%. Net interest income for the first six months of 2009 decreased $738 thousand or 3.10% over the same period in 2008. The net interest margin decreased 25 basis points to 2.70% in the first half of 2009 compared to 2.95% for the same period in 2008. The decreases are a result of lower margins from reductions in the prime rate, foregone interest due to an increase in nonperforming assets and the continued pressures on the cost of deposits in the Atlanta market. However, the net interest margin of 2.72% for the second quarter of 2009 improved slightly from 2.71% compared to the first quarter of 2009.

INTEREST INCOME

Total interest income for the second quarter of 2009 decreased $1.5 million or 5.6% compared to the same period in 2008. The decrease in interest income in the second quarter was the result of a decrease of 81 basis points in the yield on average interest-earning assets offset in part by the growth in average interest-earning assets for the second quarter 2009, which increased $132.4 million or 8.0%. Total interest income year to date through June 30, 2009 decreased $5.6 million or 10.4% compared to the same period in 2008. The decrease in interest income in 2009 was the result of a decrease of 102 basis points in the yield on average interest-earning assets offset in part by the growth in average interest-earning assets in 2009, which increased $101.1 million or 6.2%.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense for the second quarter 2009 decreased $1.4 million or 10.2% compared to the same period in 2008. The decrease in interest expense was attributable to an increase in average interest-bearing liabilities of $99.4 million more than offset by a 60 basis point decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities. Year to date in 2009, interest expense decreased $4.9 million or 16.3% compared to the same period in 2008. The decrease in interest expense was attributable to an increase in average interest-bearing liabilities of $62.5 million more than offset by a 79 basis point decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities.

The high deposit rates in the Atlanta market, driven by banks' necessity for liquidity, have eased. While Fidelity Bank's deposit rates are lower than most of the smaller banks, they are somewhat higher than the larger banks. If deposit rates stay consistent, Fidelity Bank's margin will improve over time as certificate of deposit interest rates reset in a lower rate environment.

NONINTEREST INCOME

Noninterest income increased $3.4 million and $4.5 million or 77.7% and 45.1% to $7.8 million and $14.6 million for the second quarter and year to date ended June 30, 2009, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2008. This increase in noninterest income was a result of higher mortgage banking activities as a result of the expansion of the mortgage division in 2009. Revenue from mortgage banking activities increased to $4.6 million and $8.3 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2009, respectively, compared to $125 thousand and $195 thousand for the same periods in 2008. The increase for the quarter was partially offset by lower indirect lending income, which decreased $459 thousand or 30.4% to $1.1 million, lower other operating income, and lower SBA lending activities. The increase for the six months ended June 2009 compared to the same period in 2008 was partially offset by lower securities gains, lower indirect lending activities, which decreased $901 thousand or 29.1% to $2.2 million, and lower other income. Both the SBA lending activity and indirect lending revenues were hindered by the lack of liquidity in the financial markets resulting in fewer sales which resulted in lower gains on sales, although both the SBA and indirect lending secondary markets are again functioning.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

Noninterest expense for the second quarter increased $5.0 million or 40.5% to $17.5 million compared to the same period in 2008. The increase is a result of higher salaries and employee benefits of $2.6 million or 40.6% to $9.0 million as the Bank increased the number of employees as a result of the expansion of the mortgage division, and higher other operating expense, which increased $2.0 million or 77.7% to $4.6 million due primarily to higher ORE expense and FDIC insurance premiums as a result of the second quarter of 2009 special assessment of $865 thousand. Noninterest expense for the first six months of 2009 increased $7.7 million or 32.2% to $31.5 million compared to the same period in 2008. The increase is a result of higher salaries and employee benefits which increased $3.6 million or 27.4% to $16.8 million as a result of the expansion of the mortgage division, and higher operating expense, which increased $3.6 million or 99.6% to $7.2 million due primarily to higher ORE expense and FDIC insurance premiums. Also, in the first half of 2008 the Company reversed a Visa litigation expense accrual of $567 thousand which did not reoccur in 2009.
