BLUEFIELD, Va., Jul 23, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- FCBC | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- First Community Bancshares, Inc. (NASDAQ:FCBC) (www.fcbinc.com) today reported net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 of $3.47 million. Net income available to common shareholders for the second quarter was $2.89 million, or $0.23 per diluted common share. Return on average assets for the second quarter was 0.53% and return on average common equity was 6.05%.

Commenting on second quarter results, Chief Executive Officer John M. Mendez said, "Despite continued challenges in financial markets and weak economic conditions we produced solid core operating results for the second quarter. On the strength of our core operations, we were able to absorb the current elevated credit costs for the quarter, non-cash impairment charges stemming from the weakened operations of others in the industry and $988 thousand in special assessments by the FDIC." The non-cash impairment charges and the FDIC special assessment had the effect of decreasing second quarter earnings by approximately $0.15 per diluted share.

Net Interest Income

Tax-equivalent net interest margin for the second quarter of 2009 was 3.62%. Net interest income was $16.32 million, a decrease of $304 thousand, or 1.83%, from second quarter 2008. Interest income was $26.19 million, a decrease of $1.24 million, or 4.53%, from second quarter 2008. The decrease was due primarily to decreases in loan and securities yields reflecting a decrease of 200 basis points in the prime lending rate to 3.25% in the second quarter of 2009 from 5.25% in the second quarter of 2008. The yield on loans dropped to 6.19% from 6.78% while average loans increased $88.77 million to $1.27 billion from second quarter 2008, reflective of the Coddle Creek acquisition. Yields on loans have dropped as a direct result of the precipitous declines in market rates of interest.

The Company also maintained an average federal funds sold position of $58 million through the second quarter. This increased liquidity position had a profound negative impact on net interest margin.

Second quarter interest expense decreased $940 thousand, or 8.70%, from 2008. Second quarter deposit costs decreased $42 thousand compared to the second quarter of 2008, while the average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits decreased 47 basis points to 2.08%. Compared to the second quarter of 2008, interest costs on borrowings decreased $898 thousand to $2.79 million, while the average balance decreased $118.73 million due to the redemption of various wholesale debt issues and the Company's relatively liquid balance sheet. The second quarter cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 42 basis points compared to the second quarter of 2008. Average interest bearing liabilities increased $120.56 million, or 7.53%, compared with second quarter 2008, and included a decrease of $56.56 million in FHLB borrowings.

Non-interest Income

Wealth management revenues increased $35 thousand, or 3.19%, as investment advisory revenue increased $113 thousand. At June 30, 2009, the Wealth Management Division reported $811 million in assets under management. Service charges on deposit accounts were $3.49 million for the second quarter of 2009, an increase of $28 thousand, or 0.81%, from the second quarter of 2008. Insurance commissions were $1.64 million for the second quarter of 2009, an increase of $493 thousand, or 43.02%, from the same period in 2008. These revenues reflect GreenPoint's acquisitions of Carr & Hyde Insurance in December 2008 and REL Insurance in July 2008.

The Company recognized approximately $2.08 million in net credit-related impairment charges on investment securities during the second quarter. Approximately $1.67 million of the charge is attributable to credit-related impairments in two pooled trust preferred holdings. In addition, the Company enhanced and increased the default and deferral assumptions used this quarter. The impairment charges resulted from increasing levels of underlying defaults and deferrals. The remaining $406 thousand was due to impairment recognized on certain equity securities.

Non-interest Expenses

Excluding penalties on debt prepayment, non-interest expenses for the second quarter of 2009 increased $1.30 million, or 8.78%, from the second quarter of 2008. Salaries and employee benefits decreased $175 thousand, or 2.31%, from the second quarter of 2008. Branches from the November 2008 acquisition of Coddle Creek Financial accounted for an increase in salaries and employee benefits of approximately $291 thousand and GreenPoint acquisitions accounted for an increase of approximately $360 thousand. The remainder of the Company showed an overall decrease of $826 thousand, a result of increased efficiency initiatives.

Occupancy and furniture and equipment expenses increased due to the Coddle Creek acquisition, new branches, and the addition of operating expenses at GreenPoint, as it acquired new agencies throughout 2008. During the second quarter the Company accrued approximately $988 thousand for the special FDIC assessment. Other non-interest expenses increased $141 thousand, or 2.97%, compared to the second quarter of 2008. The second quarter efficiency ratio was 58.62% compared to 57.55% in the second quarter of 2008.

The acquisition of Coddle Creek was completed in November, and integration is largely complete. The Company continues to be on track to realize its projected pre-tax cost savings of approximately $1.65 million, or 42%, in 2009.

Credit Quality

The Company's loan quality measures at June 30, 2009 continue to compare favorably to the Company's peers and the industry. Total loan delinquencies, including non-accrual loans, as a percent of total loans were 1.35% at June 30, 2009, compared with 1.59% at March 31, 2009 and 1.97% at December 31, 2008. The ratio of allowance for loan losses as a percent of loans held for investment was 1.31% at June 30, 2009, compared with 1.30% at March 31, 2009 and 1.23% at December 31, 2008. Non-performing assets increased slightly to $15.26 million at June 30, 2009, from $13.74 million at March 31, 2009 and $14.09 million at December 31, 2008. Non-performing loans as a percentage of loans held for investment were 0.92% compared with 0.83% at March 31, 2009 and 0.98% at December 31, 2008.

Mr. Mendez added, "We are pleased that our loan portfolio continues to perform well in the face of a prolonged recessionary economy. This is a tribute to our credit processes and the markets which we serve." Net charge-offs for the second quarter of 2009 were $2.43 million, and the Company made a provision for loan losses of $2.55 million in the second quarter of 2009 compared with $937 thousand in the second quarter of 2008. Mr. Mendez continued, "Despite elevated net charge-offs for the quarter, we are pleased with the overall level of asset quality measures, particularly our controlled level of non-performing assets at 69 basis points, which is well below the industry average."

Balance Sheet

Since year-end 2008, consolidated assets have increased $69.87 million to $2.20 billion at June 30, 2009 driven by an increase in deposits of $43.60 million and $61.67 million in new capital from the June 2009 equity offering. Total stockholders' equity for the Company was $283.58 million, resulting in a book value per common share outstanding of $14.32 at June 30, 2009, compared to $220.34 million and $15.46 per common share at December 31, 2008. Earlier this month the board of directors announced a $0.10 per share dividend on common shares. 2009 is the Company's 24th consecutive year of dividends to common shareholders.

TARP Repayment

On July 8, 2009 First Community repaid all of the $41.50 million in funds to the United States Treasury obtained under the Capital Purchase Program commonly referred to as TARP. First Community was one of the first companies to be offered funds from the Treasury Department and is now among the first banks to repay the government's investment. The Company expects to recognize a deemed dividend of approximately $972 thousand associated with the discount in the third quarter of 2009 which will decrease net income available to common shareholders by the same amount.

TriStone Merger

The TriStone Community Bank merger is progressing towards a third quarter closing. All regulatory approvals have been received and the shareholder meeting will be held July 30, 2009. The transaction is expected to add approximately $152 million in assets and an excellent team of bankers in the Winston-Salem, North Carolina market.
