TACOMA, WA, Jul 23, 2009 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- RPFG | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Rainier Pacific Financial Group, Inc. (the "Company") (NASDAQ: RPFG) announced today its second quarter results for the period ended June 30, 2009. The Company recognized a net loss of $3.7 million, or $0.62 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, compared to net income of $1.0 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, for the same period in 2008. The loss for the second quarter of 2009 was primarily attributable to a $4.0 million provision for loan losses; non-cash pre-tax other-than-temporary impairment ("OTTI") charges of $1.8 million relating to three of the Company's 15 investment holdings in pooled trust preferred collateralized debt obligation ("trust preferred CDO") securities, which are collateralized by trust preferred securities issued by over 500 banks and 39 insurance companies geographically dispersed across the United States; and $1.3 million in FDIC deposit insurance and assessment costs. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company recognized a net loss of $8.3 million, or $1.39 per diluted share, compared to net income of $2.5 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, for the same six month period in 2008.

Despite the net loss for the second quarter, the Company's total shareholders' equity increased by $2.7 million during the period to $41.9 million at June 30, 2009, compared to $39.2 million at March 31, 2009 and $75.5 million at June 30, 2008. The increase in shareholders' equity was primarily attributable to positive fair value adjustments recorded in the Company's portfolio of trust preferred CDO securities during the quarter ended June 30, 2009. The weighted average fair value of the 15 trust preferred CDO securities was approximately $0.33 per $1.00 of par value (representing an aggregate fair value of $36.3 million) at June 30, 2009, compared to $0.26 per $1.00 of par value (representing an aggregate fair value of $28.2 million) at March 31, 2009 and $0.75 per $1.00 of par value (representing an aggregate fair value of $81.6 million) at June 30, 2008. Accordingly, the Company's capital ratio (i.e., shareholders' equity divided by total assets) increased during the quarter to 5.11% at June 30, 2009, compared to 4.56% and 8.68% at March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2008, respectively. The tangible common equity-to-assets ratio increased to 4.75% at June 30, 2009, compared to 4.21% at March 31, 2009 and 8.30% at June 30, 2008. The Company's book value and tangible book value per share as of June 30, 2009 also increased to $6.98 and $6.49 per share, respectively.

The Company's trust preferred CDO securities are substantially illiquid, and their evaluation of impairment and the determination of fair value are highly complex and involve a comprehensive process including quantitative modeling and significant judgment. As of June 30, 2009, seven of the 15 trust preferred CDO securities with a par value of $34.1 million, held by the Company, were determined to involve OTTI, compared to six of the securities with a par value of $29.1 million that were determined to involve OTTI as of March 31, 2009. As part of the evaluation, management completed an analysis of projected cash flows for each trust preferred CDO security, which incorporates both known and projected defaults by the bank and insurance company issuers of the underlying debt obligations of the trust preferred securities that collateralize the trust preferred CDO securities, to determine each security's net present value. The net present values were calculated in a manner consistent with the methodology used in the March 31, 2009 evaluation. The net present value of each security was compared to the security's amortized cost in connection with determining if the security involved OTTI. Based on the Company's evaluation, two of the six trust preferred CDO securities previously determined to involve OTTI incurred $1.6 million in additional credit losses for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, with the four others experiencing no further credit loss. One additional trust preferred CDO security was determined to involve OTTI as of June 30, 2009 and resulted in the recognition of $218,000 in credit losses for the quarter ended June 30, 2009. The three securities determined to have incurred a credit loss during the quarter resulted in total non-cash pre-tax impairment charges of $1.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, compared to five securities that incurred $8.5 million in impairment charges for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. In addition to the credit losses recognized, the Company recorded the temporary change in the non-credit related factors of fair value for these three securities as an unrealized loss of $57.4 million (pre-tax), and a component of shareholders' equity (i.e., accumulated other comprehensive loss). To determine the fair value of the trust preferred CDO securities, the Company engaged an independent financial consulting firm to assist the Company's management in its quarterly evaluation of the fair value of these securities. Based upon management's quarterly evaluation, management determined the Company's trust preferred CDO securities had an aggregate fair value of $36.3 million, including the seven trust preferred CDO securities involving OTTI that had an aggregate fair value of $8.8 million at June 30, 2009.

The effects of the trust preferred CDO securities on the Company's earnings and capital position will continue to be influenced by external market conditions and other factors outside of the Company's control, including but not limited to; specific issuer credit deterioration, deferral and default rates of specific issuer financial institutions, failure or government seizure of the underlying financial institution or insurance company issuers, rating agency actions, regulatory actions, and the prices at which observable market transactions in these types of securities occur. While management closely monitors the performance of the trust preferred CDO securities and does not intend to sell these securities prior to their recovery in value, the current market environment significantly limits the Company's ability to mitigate its exposure to future OTTI conditions and valuation changes in these securities. Accordingly, if the previously described market conditions deteriorate further or other detrimental factors occur, it is likely that the Company would then determine that additional holdings of its trust preferred CDO securities portfolio involve OTTI, and such a determination would correspondingly have a further material adverse affect on the Company's earnings, shareholders' equity, and regulatory capital.

The Company's net interest margin was 2.73% for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, compared to 2.85% and 3.13% for the quarters ended March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2008, respectively. The yield on the Company's interest-earning assets decreased to 5.54% for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, compared to 5.90% and 6.32% for the quarters ended March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2008, respectively. The Company's cost of interest-bearing liabilities also decreased to 2.86% for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, compared to 3.09% and 3.51% for the quarters ended March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2008, respectively. The decline in asset yields for the second quarter of 2009 related primarily to the loss of relatively higher loan yields that were being earned on the VISA credit card portfolio that was sold in February 2009, the increased level of non-performing assets, the higher level of low-rate interest-bearing deposits currently being maintained by the Company to provide a sufficient level of liquidity, and the general decline in market interest rates. The decline in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities relates primarily to reductions in the rates of interest paid on retail customer deposits during the quarter.

Upon completing its quarterly evaluation of the allowance for loan losses, including consideration given to the increased level of classified loans that are predominately single-family land development and construction loans, the Company increased its provisions for loan losses to $4.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, compared to provisions for loan losses of $2.3 million and $550,000 for the quarters ended March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2008, respectively. This increased provision resulted in an allowance for loan losses of $11.7 million, or 1.90% of total loans, at June 30, 2009; compared to $8.5 million, or 1.32% of total loans, at March 31, 2009; and $8.3 million, or 1.25% of total loans, at June 30, 2008.

Non-interest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 was $2.8 million, or $240,000 more than the $2.6 million for the same period in 2008. This increase was primarily attributable to a $424,000 increase in gains generated on the sale of $29.5 million in single-family mortgage loans during the quarter ended June 30, 2009, compared to the sale of $22.9 million during the same period in 2008.

Non-interest expenses were $7.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, compared to $6.9 million incurred during the same period in 2008. The increase was primarily attributable to $1.3 million of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") deposit insurance premiums and regulatory assessments, compared to $65,000 for the same quarter a year ago. This increase was partially offset by a $401,000 decrease in compensation and benefits costs that is primarily a result of a reduction of 10 full-time equivalent employees, the elimination of equity-based compensation for executive officers and board members, and lower employee incentive and retirement compensation.

Total loans were $615.8 million at June 30, 2009, compared to $640.3 million at March 31, 2009 and $672.3 million at December 31, 2008. The decrease in the loan portfolio resulted primarily from the Company's focus on lowering its asset base by reducing new loan originations for its portfolio, the shrinkage of the land development and construction loan portfolio, and the amortization of the consumer loan portfolio, as well as the sale of single-family mortgage loans and certain multi-family loans sold at par value during the quarter ended June 30, 2009. For the quarter ended June 30, 2009, the yield on loans was 6.07%, compared to 6.26% and 6.80% for the quarters ended March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2008, respectively. Total loan originations were $36.4 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2009, compared to $53.3 million and $66.3 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2008, respectively. At June 30, 2009, the loan portfolio consisted of 41.3% commercial real estate loans, 23.0% multi-family real estate loans, 10.9% land development and real estate construction loans, 8.5% one- to four-family real estate loans, 7.5% commercial business loans, 6.2% home equity loans, and 2.6% consumer loans (excluding home equity loans).

During the three months ended June 30, 2009, the Company sold $29.5 million of fixed-rate single-family residential loans and $4.1 million of multi-family residential loans, compared to $22.9 million in single-family loan sales during the same period in 2008. At June 30, 2009, the portfolio of loans serviced for others increased to $179.9 million, compared to $163.7 million and $127.8 million at March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2008, respectively.

Net loan charge-offs were $737,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, compared to $7.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 and $258,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2008, and are primarily related to real estate construction loans. During the quarter, non-performing assets (inclusive of loans, other real estate owned, and other repossessed assets) increased to $39.9 million, or 4.85% of total assets, at June 30, 2009; compared to $25.4 million, or 2.96% of total assets, at March 31, 2009; and $14.3 million, or 1.65% of total assets, at June 30, 2008. The ratio of loans more than 30 days delinquent as a percentage of total loans also increased to 5.49% at June 30, 2009, compared to 3.13% and 1.07% at March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2008, respectively. As of June 30, 2009, non-performing assets totaled $39.9 million, of which $37.3 million, or 93.5%, were concentrated in five residential builder relationships. The $37.3 million in non-performing assets to these builders was comprised of $27.0 million in real estate construction loans (of which $26.2 million are land development loans on properties located in the Pierce and South King Counties), $2.3 million in commercial business loans, and $8.0 million in real estate owned (located in Pierce and North Thurston Counties).

Total deposits were $489.0 million at June 30, 2009, compared to $508.6 million at March 31, 2009 and $463.7 million at June 30, 2008, as the Bank continued to reduce its portfolio of brokered deposits to $31.0 million, or 6.3% of total deposits at June 30, 2009 from $70.8 million, or 13.9% of total deposits at March 31, 2009. Total retail deposits increased by $20.2 million to $458.0 million at June 30, 2009 from $437.8 million at March 31, 2009. Core deposits (comprised of checking, savings, money market, and individual retirement accounts) also increased to $272.1 million, or 55.6% of total deposits at June 30, 2009, compared to $268.7 million, or 52.8% of total deposits at March 31, 2009. For the quarter ended June 30, 2009, the average cost of interest-bearing deposits decreased to 1.84%, compared to 2.24% for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 and 2.84% for the quarter ended June 30, 2008. The decline in the cost of interest-bearing deposits related primarily to lower market interest rates and the increase in core deposits, which are usually less costly than certificates of deposit.

The investment securities portfolio at June 30, 2009 (excluding $13.7 million in Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle stock holdings recorded at cost) totaled $65.4 million, compared to $60.8 million at March 31, 2009 and $132.0 million at June 30, 2008. The investment securities portfolio contains $36.3 million of trust preferred CDO securities recorded at their fair value (representing $108.4 million in par value, less $14.7 million in accumulated pre-tax OTTI credit losses charged against earnings and $57.4 million in pre-tax non-credit related losses recognized in the accumulated other comprehensive loss component of shareholders' equity), $19.8 million of mortgage-backed securities, and $9.4 million of municipal bonds recorded at amortized cost.

Given that the investment ratings of all of the trust preferred CDO securities declined over the past eight months to highly speculative, the Company's subsidiary, Rainier Pacific Bank (the "Bank") is required to maintain higher levels of regulatory risk-based capital for the portfolio of trust preferred CDO securities because of the greater perceived risk of default by the underlying bank and insurance company issuers. Therefore, the Bank is required to apply a higher "risk weighting formula" to these securities in calculating its regulatory capital ratios. That formula calls for increasing the Bank's risk-weighted assets for these securities to $418.2 million, well above the $108.4 million in par value held by the Company, in calculating the Bank's regulatory capital ratios, thereby diluting such ratios. Upon applying the higher level of risk-weighted assets to the Bank's regulatory capital ratios, the calculated ratios are as follows at June 30, 2009: a Tier I leverage ratio of 7.94% (compared to a "well capitalized" threshold of 5.00%); a Tier I risk-based capital ratio of 6.30% (compared to a "well capitalized" threshold of 6.00%); and a total risk-based capital ratio of 7.43% (compared to a "well capitalized" threshold of 10.00% and an "adequately capitalized" threshold of 8.00%). Accordingly, with a total risk-based capital ratio of 7.43%, the Bank is categorized as "under capitalized" as calculated under the regulatory capital standards, and both the Bank and the Company are subject to a higher level of regulatory oversight and supervision. Undercapitalized banks may not accept, renew, or rollover brokered deposits or solicit deposits yielding more than 75 basis points over prevailing rates in either the Bank's market area or the area where deposits are solicited. In addition, as a result of being undercapitalized, the Bank is subject to certain regulatory restrictions. These restrictions include, among others, that the Bank generally may not make any capital distributions; must submit an acceptable capital restoration plan to the FDIC; may not increase its average total assets during a calendar quarter in excess of its average total assets during the preceding calendar quarter unless any increase in total assets is consistent with the capital restoration plan approved by the FDIC and the Bank's ratio of tangible equity to total assets increases during the calendar quarter at a rate sufficient to enable the Bank to become adequately capitalized within a reasonable time; and may not acquire a business, establish or acquire a branch office, or engage in a new line of business without regulatory approval. In light of the current challenging operating environment, the Company and Bank continue to work closely with its federal and state banking regulators to improve asset quality and capital adequacy, while maintaining sufficient liquidity.

"The operating environment remains very challenging, with continued weakness in the local residential construction market placing continued pressure on the Bank's land development and construction loan portfolio, while the broader economic recession continues to take a toll on the financial services industry nationwide. As a result, we experienced deterioration in the Bank's residential construction and land development loan portfolio and recorded further credit losses on the trust preferred CDO securities holdings during the second quarter. We are hopeful that the operating environment will gradually improve; however, we anticipate the improvement to be slow during the next few quarters. We are pleased with the stability of the Bank's core business operations during these difficult times and will continue to focus on improving Rainier Pacific's profitability and capital ratios during the balance of the year," said John A. Hall, President and CEO.

(1) Includes loans held-for-sale.
(2) The Company may classify selected loans as non-accrual although the
    contractual payments on the loans are not past due, based upon other
    factors or characteristics known to the Company relating to the loan or
    the borrower. Therefore, the amount of loans reported as "90 days or
    more past due or non-accrual loans" may exceed the amount of loans
    reported as "greater than 30 days delinquent."
(3) Excludes one trust preferred CDO security in an amount of $2.9 million
    (amortized cost) as of June 30, 2009 that is being treated by the
    Company as "non-accrual." Due to the rights granted to the issuers of
    the debt collateralizing the security, that allow the issuers to
    contractually defer interest payments for up to 20 consecutive
    quarters, the security is not deemed to be "non-performing" under its
    original terms.
