BOYERTOWN, Pa., Oct 29, 2009 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- NPBC | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- National Penn Bancshares, Inc. (Nasdaq: NPBC | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating) reported a net loss of $65.2 million for the third quarter 2009. This loss, after payment of dividends on preferred stock issued to the U.S. Treasury under its Capital Purchase Program, represents a loss of $0.65 per diluted common share. For the first nine months of 2009, National Penn's net loss attributable to common shareholders, after dividends on the preferred stock issued to the U.S. Treasury, amounted to $73.1 million, or a loss of $0.81 per diluted common share.

National Penn's management has decided to dispose of its collateralized debt obligation portfolio. This action has resulted in a charge to earnings in the amount of $84.7 million pre-tax, or $55.0 million after tax, in the third quarter, which is the largest contributing factor to National Penn's net loss for the quarter and year-to-date in 2009. Capital levels, as a result of this action, have been reduced by $18.0 million due to the previous fair value charges already reflected in capital. Upon the sale of a portion of these securities, National Penn expects to receive a cash refund of previously paid taxes, approximately $27.0 million.

Glenn E. Moyer, President and CEO, stated, "In addition to the difficult regional economic and operating environment, third quarter results were affected by a number of significant steps we believe will further reinforce National Penn's financial strength, but which negatively affected earnings in the short-run. National Penn's Board and executive management remain committed to taking proactive and decisive actions to address the challenges that National Penn, like others in our industry, continues to face. We believe our solid capital levels, the foundation of our financial strength, support these important strategies."

He continued, "With $627 million in tangible common equity, National Penn exceeds regulatory guidelines used to measure capital strength of financial institutions. Investor confidence in National Penn in the third quarter enabled us to raise $153 million in new common equity. Prior to that, we raised another $72 million in common equity through our dividend reinvestment program." Moyer also noted as a result of the capital raise, the company has received notification from the U.S. Treasury that during the fourth quarter its outstanding TARP-related warrants have been reduced by 50%, or 735,294 warrants.

National Penn's capital ratios at September 30, 2009 were as follows:

    --  Tangible common equity to tangible assets -- 6.85%.
    --  Total risk-based capital -- 13.72%, which is in excess of the regulatory
        well-capitalized minimum of 10%.
    --  Tier 1 risk-based capital --12.46%, which is in excess of the regulatory
        well-capitalized minimum of 6%.

    --  Tier 1 leverage ratio -- 9.00%, which is also in excess of the
        regulatory well-capitalized minimum of 5%.

From a regulatory capital standpoint, National Penn, and each of National Penn's banking subsidiaries, National Penn Bank and Christiana Bank & Trust Company, all continue to exceed the ratios required to be "well capitalized" under guidelines imposed by financial institution regulators.

National Penn's Board of Directors approved a fourth quarter cash dividend of one cent per share, payable on November 17, 2009 to shareholders of record on November 8, 2009. This compares to five cents per share paid in the third quarter 2009. In assessing the declaration and payment of a fourth quarter dividend, the Board determined that preservation of capital is a prudent response to the continuing adverse credit cycle and weak economy. Through this action, National Penn will retain approximately $20 million in common equity annually. The Board will continue to evaluate the cash dividend on a quarterly basis going forward, considering all of the relevant factors at that time.

National Penn continues to focus on asset quality in the current economic environment. The company increased its provision for loan losses for the third quarter to $52.0 million as compared to $37.5 million in the second quarter, resulting in an overall increase in the allowance for loan and lease losses to $125.5 million, which now represents 2.02% of loans, including loans held for sale, and 103.8% of non-performing assets. Non-performing assets and loans past due 90 days declined to $120.9 million at September 30, 2009, compared to $124.3 million at June 30, 2009, representing 1.24% of total assets.

Scott V. Fainor, Chief Operating Officer of National Penn, commented, "The action we announced today regarding our plan to dispose of our CDO portfolio and increasing our quarterly loan loss provision are among the proactive steps we have taken to reduce problem assets and mitigate credit risk. Our approach is consistent with industry trends, and with regulatory guidance and expectations. While our third quarter financial results reflect the immediate impact of these actions, we believe this approach will enable National Penn to continue to weather challenging economic conditions and actively participate in an economic recovery."

Core earnings of National Penn remain strong, as net interest margin increased during the third quarter 2009 to 3.31% from 3.19% in the second quarter 2009. Fee income categories are continuing to perform well, and expenses remain well controlled despite significantly increased charges for FDIC insurance. For the year-to-date in 2009, total loan outstandings are below year end 2008 by 1.8%. Originations of loans to new and existing customers so far in 2009 total $1.0 billion. However, growth in loan outstandings has been negated by faster repayments of loans from existing borrowers, sale of mortgage loans in the secondary market, refinancings and elevated levels of net loan charge-offs. Deposit growth for the first nine months of 2009 was $408.8 million, or an 8.5% annualized increase, which continues to reflect management's execution of its liability strategies and the confidence valued customers have in the overall strength of National Penn.

Statement Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

This release contains supplemental financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). National Penn's management uses these non-GAAP measures in its analysis of National Penn's performance. One such measure, annualized return on average tangible equity, excludes the average balance of acquisition-related goodwill and intangibles in determining average tangible shareholders' equity. Banking and financial institution regulators also exclude goodwill and intangibles from shareholders' equity when assessing the capital adequacy of a financial institution. The other such measure, core net income (or core earnings), excludes the effects of non-cash, after-tax unrealized gains and losses. Management believes the presentation of these financial measures excluding the impact of the specified items provides useful supplemental information that is essential to a proper understanding of the financial results of National Penn. In the case of annualized return on average tangible equity, it provides a method to assess management's success in utilizing the company's tangible capital. In the case of core net income (or core earnings), it provides a method to assess earnings performance excluding one-time items. This disclosure should not be viewed as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor is it necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.
