Wilmington Trust Announces 2009 Third Quarter Results

WILMINGTON, Del., Oct 23, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- WL | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Wilmington Trust Corporation (NYSE:WL) reported a loss of $5.9 million, or $0.15 per diluted common share, for the third quarter of 2009. Earnings for the quarter were offset by $38.1 million of losses on securities in the company's investment portfolio. On an after-tax basis, these securities losses reduced net income by approximately $23.6 million and earnings by approximately $0.34 per diluted common share.

"The Corporate Client Services business recorded impressive revenue growth, the provision for loan losses declined, the net interest margin improved, and there were numerous other positive developments during the third quarter," said Ted T. Cecala, Wilmington Trust chairman and chief executive officer. "Unfortunately, recessionary pressures reduced the value of some of our investment securities and triggered accounting rules that require us to write them down."

The company's capital position remained strong. All regulatory capital ratios improved from their 2009 second quarter levels, and all continued to exceed the amounts required by the Federal Reserve Board to be considered well capitalized, both including and excluding the $330 million in Capital Purchase Program funds the company received in December 2008 in exchange for issuing shares of Wilmington Trust Series A preferred stock to the U.S. Department of the Treasury.

Positive aspects of third quarter results included:

-- Growth in Corporate Client Services (CCS) revenue, which rose to $43.9 million. This was 28% higher than for the year-ago third quarter, and 6% higher than for the trailing (2009 second) quarter. The year-over-year growth was due mainly to the large retirement services acquisitions completed in 2008. The trailing quarter increase was due mainly to growing demand for default and bankruptcy administration services and successor loan agency services. CCS is providing successor trustee or other services for most of the largest bankruptcies filed over the past 12 months, including the General Motors bankruptcy.

-- A trailing-quarter decline in the provision for loan losses. The provision was $38.7 million, which was 28% lower than for the 2009 second quarter. Credit quality is discussed in more detail elsewhere in this release.

-- A higher net interest margin. The margin rose to 3.23%, which was 7 basis points higher than for the trailing quarter, as core and non-core funding costs decreased.

-- A $96.7 million trailing-quarter increase in core deposits, on average, which rose to $6.70 billion. The increase in core deposits reduced the need for non-core funding, which contributed to the decrease in funding costs.

-- Disciplined expense management. Noninterest expenses were slightly lower than for the trailing quarter, and 3% higher than for the year-ago third quarter. Two items accounted for most of the year-over-year increase: -- Retirement services subadvisor expense. The year-ago third quarter did not reflect the retirement services acquisition completed in the 2008 fourth quarter.

-- Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) premium expense. In 2009, the FDIC instituted an industry-wide premium increase and changed its methodology for calculating premiums. These two actions added approximately $2.7 million to the company's quarterly insurance expense.

Total loan balances for the 2009 third quarter were $9.08 billion, on average. Loan balances were affected by:

-- Muted demand for new loans, due to continued economic uncertainty in the mid-Atlantic region, where the company's Regional Banking activities are focused.

-- Declines in indirect consumer loans over the past four quarters.

-- The sale of $129.0 million of seasoned residential mortgage loans at the end of the 2009 second quarter.

Commercial loan balances for the 2009 third quarter were $6.69 billion, on average. Within the commercial portfolio, commercial mortgage balances rose on a trailing quarter and year-over-year basis. Commercial construction balances were slightly higher than for the year-ago third quarter, but lower than for the trailing quarter. Balances of other types of commercial, financial, and agricultural loans were lower than for the trailing quarter and the year-ago third quarter.

The increase in commercial mortgage balances reflected changes in the credit markets that have minimized the competitive advantages formerly held by specialty commercial mortgage lenders. Wilmington Trust extends commercial mortgage loans to middle-market business owners (privately held and family-owned businesses with up to $250 million of annual sales) within the mid-Atlantic region. In general, the company does not extend credit for high-rise office building projects.

More than half of commercial mortgage loans at September 30, 2009, were for owner-occupied properties. Approximately 18% were for community shopping centers. The rest were for a variety of other types of commercial and industrial properties. Approximately 57% of commercial mortgage loans were for properties in Delaware, with the majority in the state's northern-most county.

Revenue from the advisory businesses -- CCS, Wealth Advisory Services (WAS), and the affiliate money managers -- totaled $92.4 million (after amortization), which exceeded net interest income (before the provision for loan losses) by $12.4 million.

WAS business development remained solid in the third quarter, but WAS revenue declined, mainly due to:

-- Client preference for cash management and fixed income investments. Although equity markets improved during the third quarter, most WAS clients opted for investments with less volatility. This dampened revenue because, in general, the company's pricing is lower for cash management and fixed income investment services than for other types of investment management services.

-- The decline in mutual fund yields due to the low market interest rate environment. Because these yields are so low, the company has waived its management fees. These waivers reduced WAS revenue for the 2009 third quarter by approximately $3 million.

Credit quality

Approximately 87% of total loans outstanding at September 30, 2009, were to clients in Delaware, southeastern Pennsylvania, and Maryland, where the economic downturn has not been as severe as in some other parts of the United States. According to the October 2009 Business Outlook Survey published by the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, trends suggest economic declines in the region have moderated.

These conditions produced mixed credit quality metrics. Compared to the 2009 second quarter, the provision for loan losses as well as net charge-offs and the net charge-off ratio were lower, while nonperforming assets and loans past due 90 days or more were higher.

The provision for loan losses was $38.7 million, which was 28% lower than the $54.0 million recorded for the 2009 second quarter. The reserve for loan losses was $201.8 million, up 9% from $184.9 million at June 30, 2009. The higher reserve reflected additional downgrades in the internal risk rating analysis, plus the increases in nonperforming assets and loans past due 90 days or more.

At September 30, 2009, the loan loss reserve ratio was 2.24%, and the nonperforming asset ratio was 4.39%. The reserve ratio differs from the nonperforming asset ratio because an asset's nonperformance does not automatically lead to a partial or total loss.

The amount of the reserve reflects management's estimates of probable losses. Those estimates are based on a combination of past loss experience, qualitative adjustments to capture current trends, and actual collateral measurements. The process management uses to calculate the reserve follows specific regulatory requirements and accounting rules.

"We prefer to work with borrowers to resolve repayment problems instead of automatically charging off unpaid amounts. Consequently, loans may remain on nonaccruing status for longer periods," Mr. Cecala said. "Compared to many other banks, our nonperforming asset levels are typically higher, but our net charge-offs are typically lower. We believe the net charge-off ratio is the most meaningful measure of credit quality, and we believe our loan loss reserve is adequate."

Net charge-offs for the 2009 third quarter were $21.8 million, which was 40% less than the $36.2 million recorded for the 2009 second quarter. The net charge-off ratio was 0.24% of total loans outstanding. This was 15 basis points lower than the 0.39% recorded for the 2009 second quarter. On an annualized basis, the net charge-off ratio decreased to 0.96%. This was 60 basis points lower than for the 2009 second quarter, when the annualized net charge-off ratio was 1.56%.

Nonperforming assets totaled $397.5 million, which was $67.2 million higher than at the end of the 2009 second quarter. Commercial construction loans for residential projects in Delaware and Pennsylvania accounted for two-thirds, or $45.4 million, of this increase.

Loans past due 90 days or more were $38.7 million, which was $12.0 million higher than at the end of the 2009 second quarter. Commercial mortgage and consumer loans accounted for nearly all of this increase.

The financial statement section of this release contains additional disclosures about credit quality.

Investment securities portfolio

Investment securities balances totaled $608.7 million at September 30, 2009, down 15% from the end of the 2009 second quarter. The change in balances was due primarily to:

-- Maturities of mortgage-backed, U.S. Treasury, and other government agency securities.

-- Write-downs on securities that were determined to be other-than-temporarily impaired (OTTI) under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

In the 2009 third quarter, the company recorded $38.1 million of securities losses and $1.5 million of securities gains.

Almost all of the securities losses in the 2009 third quarter were associated with pooled trust-preferred securities (TruPS), which consist of securities issued by banks, insurance companies, and other financial institutions. The inability of some of the underlying issuers to meet associated cash flow obligations, plus lack of trading activity, continued to reduce the value of these TruPS and render them OTTI.

In the 2009 third quarter, 23 of the 38 pooled TruPS in the portfolio were OTTI, and the corresponding write-down was $55.0 million. Of that amount, $35.6 million was credit-related and recorded as a loss. The remaining non-credit-related reduction in value of $19.4 million was recorded in other comprehensive income, which reduced common stockholders' equity by $12.4 million on an after-tax basis.

At September 30, 2009, the amortized cost of the pooled TruPS portfolio was $149.0 million; its estimated fair value was $51.7 million; and its carrying value was $56.3 million. The $92.7 million difference between the amortized cost of the pooled TruPS and their carrying value, which represents the non-credit-related portion of their impairment, is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income.

In addition to the pooled TruPS, there are 9 single-issue TruPS in the company's portfolio. The single-issue TruPS are from money center and large regional banks. None of the single-issue TruPS were OTTI at September 30, 2009.

Operating results

On an operating basis, the company was profitable for the third quarter of 2009. Operating net income was $17.8 million, and operating earnings were $0.19 per diluted common share. Except for the securities losses, the dynamics that affected operating results for the 2009 third quarter were the same as the factors that affected reported results.

Operating results do not conform with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Management believes these non-GAAP measures:

-- Provide a more relevant and comparative basis on which to measure ongoing business activities and evaluate the company's performance.

-- Help investors and analysts develop more meaningful and accurate analyses of trends in the company's core business operations.

Some limitations are inherent in presenting operating results. While management believes these disclosures help investors understand the dynamics of the company, these disclosures may not offer relevant comparisons to the operating results of other companies. Other companies might use different measures and/or calculate them differently.

Management compensates for these limitations by providing a detailed reconciliation between GAAP reported results and non-GAAP operating results. The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed as supplemental information and not as a substitute for financial results determined in accordance with GAAP.
