Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $3.9 million compared to $29.0 million for the same period in 2008. Net loss applicable to common shareholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $5.4 million, or $0.07 per diluted common share which included total preferred dividends of $9.3 million, or $0.12 per diluted common share compared to net income of $29.0 million or $0.39 per diluted common share for the same period in 2008.
"Our third quarter results were disappointing as the current economic environment led to an increased provision for loan losses and elevated charge-offs," commented J. Downey Bridgwater, Sterling's Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer. "During the third quarter of 2009, we charged off nonperforming loan amounts totaling $15.9 million against the related specific reserves. Additionally, the elevated charge-offs and our views about economic uncertainties have led to an increased provision for credit losses."
Average deposits increased $79.0 million to $4.0 billion at September 30, 2009, up 2.0% on a linked-quarter basis and up $397 million or 10.9% compared to September 30, 2008. This deposit growth has further strengthened the Company's balance sheet by improving the average loan to deposit ratio to 85.9% for the third quarter of 2009 down from 102% for the same quarter in 2008.
Average total loans decreased $168 million or 4.6% on a linked-quarter basis to $3.5 billion at September 30, 2009 and decreased $239 million since September 30, 2008. The decline in loan growth during the third quarter was primarily due to principal reductions in energy and construction and development loans.
At September 30, 2009, nonperforming assets were $119 million or 2.44% of total assets compared to $123 million or 2.50% at June 30, 2009. The decrease in nonperforming loans was primarily due to net charge-offs of $23.8 million recorded in the third quarter of 2009.
At September 30, 2009, the total allowance for credit losses was $57.9 million or 1.72% of period-end total loans, up from $54.2 million or 1.53% of period-end total loans linked-quarter. The allowance for credit losses has two components, a component based upon probable but unidentified losses inherent in the loan portfolio and a component based upon individual review of nonperforming or impaired loans. During the third quarter of 2009, management charged-off $15.9 million of nonperforming loans against the related specific reserves. These loans were considered collateral dependent and as such have been written-down to the underlying collateral value with no remaining associated allowance.
Net charge-offs for the third quarter of 2009 were $23.8 million or 2.71% of average total loans, compared to $15.1 million or 1.67% of average total loans, for the second quarter of 2009. Net charge-offs for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 were $40.9 million or 1.51% of average total loans, up from $10.9 million or 0.40%, for the same period in 2008. The primary increase in net charge-offs during 2009 was due to the $15.9 million of charge-offs related to collateral-based nonperforming loans and a $9.6 million charge-off related to Semgroup (a previously disclosed nonperforming energy loan relationship) which had previously been provided for in our allowance for loan losses.
Tax-equivalent net interest income for the third quarter of 2009 was $48.3 million, down $710 thousand linked-quarter. Tax-equivalent net interest margin was 4.20% for the third quarter of 2009, down 13 basis points from 4.33% for the second quarter of 2009.
Noninterest income for the third quarter of 2009 decreased $1.4 million on a linked-quarter basis and decreased $688 thousand compared to the same period in 2008. This decrease was due to the hedge ineffectiveness recorded in noninterest income during the second quarter of 2009.
Total noninterest expense decreased $3.9 million for the third quarter of 2009 as compared with the second quarter of 2009 and increased $1.1 million compared to the same period in 2008. Salaries and benefits decreased $3.1 million on a linked-quarter basis and $687 thousand compared to the third quarter in 2008, as a result of our expense reduction initiative during 2009. FDIC insurance premiums decreased $2.3 million for the third quarter of 2009 compared to the second quarter of 2009 and increased $1.2 million compared to the third quarter of 2008. The Company recorded a special FDIC assessment of $2.3 million during the second quarter of 2009.
As of September 30, 2009, Sterling had total assets of $4.9 billion, total loans of $3.4 billion and total deposits of $4.0 billion. Shareholders' equity of $564 million at September 30, 2009 was 11.57% of total assets. Book value per common share at period-end was $6.90.

FOOTNOTES TO EARNINGS RELEASE
(1) Earnings per share in each quarter is computed individually using the
weighted-average number of shares outstanding during that quarter
while earnings per share for the full period is computed using the
weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the year. Thus,
the sum for all quarters does not necessarily equal the full period
earnings per share.
(2) Interim periods annualized.
(3) Taxable-equivalent basis assuming a 35% tax rate.
(4) The efficiency ratio is calculated by dividing noninterest expense
less acquisition costs, hurricane related costs and a one-time
severance charge by tax equivalent basis net interest income plus
noninterest income less net gain (loss) on investment securities.
