Capital City Bank Group, Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2009 Results

TALLAHASSEE, Fla., Oct. 20, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Capital City Bank Group, Inc. (Nasdaq:CCBG) today reported a net loss of $1.5 million ($0.08 per diluted share) for the third quarter of 2009 compared to net income of $0.8 million ($0.04 per diluted share) for the second quarter of 2009 and $4.8 million ($0.29 per diluted share) for the third quarter of 2008. We reported a net loss of $0.1 million ($0.00 per diluted share) for the first nine months of 2009, compared to net income of $16.9 million ($0.99 per diluted share) for the same period of 2008.

The loss reported for the third quarter of 2009 reflects a loan loss provision of $12.3 million ($0.45 per diluted share) versus $8.4 million ($0.30 per diluted share) in the second quarter of 2009 and $10.4 million ($0.37 per diluted share) in the third quarter of 2008. Earnings for the third quarter of 2008 also included a $6.25 million gain ($0.22 per diluted share) from the sale of a portion of the bank's merchant services portfolio.

Year-to-date 2009 performance reflects a loan loss provision of $29.2 million ($1.05 per diluted share) and a special FDIC assessment of approximately $1.2 million ($0.04 per diluted share) recorded in the second quarter. Year-to-date earnings for 2008 reflect a loan loss provision of $20.0 million ($0.72 per diluted share), a $6.25 million gain ($0.22 per diluted share) from the sale of the bank's merchant services portfolio, and Visa related transactions totaling $3.5 million pre-tax ($0.13 per diluted share).

"In a continuing tough economic environment we have been effectively managing problem assets and moving many of them through the resolution phases. Of equal priority is maintaining our focus on growing the business, as evidenced by strong growth in the commercial mortgage and home equity portfolios and continuing increases in core deposits, all coming as a result of our consistent execution of relationship-based community banking," said William G. Smith, Jr., Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer.

"We again set aside a substantial loan loss provision during the third quarter, which was clearly the main factor impacting our financial performance. The movement of a significant number of problem assets from the loan portfolio into the other real estate owned category indicates encouraging progress as we continue to move toward resolution and ultimate disposal of nonaccrual loans. Nonaccrual loans totaled $91.9 million at the end of the third quarter, a net decrease of $19.2 million from the prior linked quarter, reflective of a further slowdown in gross additions to non-accruing status and an increase in the migration of nonaccrual loans to the other real estate category, or to satisfactory restructuring.

"On the growth side of the business, we continue to capitalize and build on the key underlying value of our franchise with successful deposit-gathering. While public funds declined seasonally, as expected, we have enjoyed good core deposit growth in 2009 and our absolutely free checking products continue to be successful as both balances and the number of accounts consistently are growing quarter over quarter.

"Certificates of deposit balances are up as rate pressures from higher paying institutions have eased in most of our markets. The growth in money market accounts compared to the linked quarter reflects a successful test of a deposit promotion in our Macon, GA market, which we plan to expand during the fourth quarter to other markets," said Smith.

The Return on Average Assets was -0.24% and the Return on Average Equity was -2.15% for the third quarter of 2009. These metrics were 0.12% and 1.12% for the second quarter of 2009 and 0.76% and 6.43% for the third quarter of 2008, respectively.

For the first nine months of 2009, the Return on Average Assets was 0.00% and the Return on Average Equity was -0.03% compared to 0.87% and 7.53%, respectively, for the same period of 2008.

Discussion of Financial Condition

Average earning assets were $2.157 billion for the third quarter of 2009, a decrease of $17.9 million, or 0.8% from the second quarter of 2009, and an increase of $6.5 million, or 0.3% from the fourth quarter of 2008. The decrease from the second quarter is primarily attributable to a $7.4 million and $9.2 million decrease in the investment and loan portfolios, respectively. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2008, the increase in earning assets primarily reflects growth in the loan portfolio, partially offset by a reduction in investment securities and short-term investments. The current quarter decrease in the loan portfolio was offset by an increase in other real estate owned as we continue to move forward with the resolution of nonaccrual loans. The loan portfolio would have experienced a slight increase when compared to the prior quarter when adjusting for the nonaccrual loans transferred to other real estate owned, representing the fifth consecutive quarter of growth in the core loan portfolio. Loan growth remains strong in the commercial mortgage and home equity portfolios. Growth in these portfolios continued due to the efforts of our bankers to reach clients who are interested in moving or expanding their banking relationships.

At the end of the third quarter, nonperforming assets (including nonaccrual loans, restructured loans, and other real estate owned) totaled $144.4 million, a net increase of $.7 million, or 1% from the second quarter and $36.5 million, or 34% from the fourth quarter of 2008. Nonaccrual loans totaled $91.9 million at the end of the third quarter, a net decrease of $19.2 million from the prior linked quarter and $5.0 million from year-end 2008, reflective of a further slowdown in gross additions to non-accruing status and an increase in the migration of nonaccrual loans to the other real estate owned category. Quarter over quarter, other real estate owned properties increased $13.7 million and restructured loans increased by $6.2 million. Nonperforming assets represented 7.25% of loans and other real estate at the end of the third quarter compared to 7.19% at the prior quarter-end and 5.48% at year-end 2008.

Average total deposits were $1.950 billion for the third quarter, a decrease of $21.0 million, or 1.1%, from the second quarter and an increase of $4.3 million, or 0.2%, from the fourth quarter of 2008. On a linked quarter basis, the decrease in deposits reflects a decline in public funds attributable to seasonal run-off and the decision not to match competitors' rates. Core deposits continued to grow during the quarter and partially offset the public funds decline. The core deposit growth occurred primarily in the money market accounts and certificates of deposit. Additionally, our absolutely free checking product continues to be successful as both balances and the number of accounts continue to post growth quarter over quarter. Certificates of deposit balances have grown as rate pressures from higher paying institutions have eased in most of our markets. The growth in money market accounts compared to the linked quarter reflects a successful test of a deposit promotion in our Macon market, which we plan to expand during the fourth quarter to other markets.

Compared to year-end 2008, the increase in average deposits reflects higher core deposits and public funds. Core deposits have increased as discussed above and, while an influx of public funds was experienced late in the first quarter of 2009, there has been an easing in these balances, which began in late April. Additionally, money market balances declined during the first half of 2009, but experienced a partial offset in the third quarter as balances have increased slightly as discussed above. We continue to pursue prudent pricing discipline and to manage the mix of our deposits. Therefore, we are not attempting to compete with higher rate paying competitors for these deposits.

We maintained an average net overnight funds (deposits with banks plus Fed funds sold less Fed funds purchased) purchased position of $53.5 million during the third quarter of 2009 compared to an average net overnight funds purchased position of $49.8 million in the second quarter and an average overnight funds purchased position of $3.2 million at year-end 2008. The unfavorable variance in funds purchased position compared to the linked quarter is attributable to a decrease in deposits partially offset by a slight reduction in the loan and investment portfolios. The unfavorable variance from the fourth quarter of 2008 reflects growth in the loan portfolio, partially offset by growth in deposits and a decline in investment securities.

Equity capital was $268.4 million as of September 30, 2009, compared to $272.7 million as of June 30, 2009 and $278.8 million as of December 31, 2008. Our leverage ratio was 10.96%, 11.07%, and 11.51%, respectively, for the comparable periods. Further, our risk-adjusted capital ratio of 14.12% at September 30, 2009 exceeds the 8.0% minimum requirement and the 10% threshold to be designated as "well-capitalized" under the risk-based regulatory guidelines. At September 30, 2009, our tangible common equity ratio was 7.43%, compared to 7.47% at June 30, 2009 and 7.76% at December 31, 2008. During the first quarter 2009, we repurchased approximately 146,000 shares of our common stock at a weighted average stock price of $10.65; no shares were repurchased during the second and third quarters.

Discussion of Operating Results

Tax equivalent net interest income for the third quarter of 2009 was $27.1 million compared to $27.7 million for the second quarter of 2009 and $27.8 million for the third quarter of 2008. For the first nine months of 2009, tax equivalent net interest income totaled $82.4 million compared to $83.0 million in 2008.

The decrease in the net interest income on a linked quarter basis was partially due to the downward repricing of earning assets and a slight (3 basis points) increase in the costs of funds. One additional calendar day in the third quarter and a lower level of foregone interest on nonaccrual loans helped to offset the decline. The loan portfolio balance declined during the quarter and also continued to reprice lower without the offsetting benefit in funding costs. Compared to the linked quarter, the costs of funds increased primarily in interest bearing non-maturity deposits, reflecting a money market promotion launched during the third quarter.

The decline from the third quarter of 2008 reflects the downward repricing of earning assets, higher foregone interest on nonaccrual loans, and lower loan fees. Partially offsetting the decline was the lower costs of funds. We responded aggressively to the federal funds rate reductions, which began in September 2007. This, coupled with a favorable shift in mix of deposits, has resulted in a significantly lower cost of funds year over year.

The net interest margin of 4.99% declined 12 basis points over the linked quarter, attributable to lower earning asset yields and a higher cost of funds. As compared to the third quarter of 2008, the margin experienced a decline of two basis points reflecting compression in earning asset yields, partially offset by aggressive deposit repricing.

The slight decrease in net interest income for the first nine months of 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008 resulted from lower earning assets yields, higher foregone interest and lower loan fees, partially offset by the lower cost of funds.

The provision for loan losses for the third quarter was $12.3 million compared to $8.4 million for the second quarter of 2009 and $10.4 million for the third quarter of 2008. The higher loan loss provision compared to the prior quarter was driven by an increase in impaired loan reserves for newly identified impaired loans, and to a lesser extent devaluation in real estate collateral securing impaired loans, primarily related to land development. Year-to-date, our loan loss provision was $29.2 million compared to $20.0 million for the same period of 2008 with the increase generally reflecting weakened economic conditions and real estate market stress, including declining property values, primarily vacant land. Net charge-offs in the third quarter totaled $8.7 million (1.76% of average loans) compared to $6.8 million (1.39% of average loans) in the second quarter of 2009 and $2.4 million (.50% of average loans) in the third quarter of 2008. For the nine-month period of 2009, our net charge-offs totaled $20.8 million (1.41% of average loans), compared to $7.5 million (.53% of average loans) for the same period in 2008. At quarter-end, the allowance for loan losses was 2.32% of outstanding loans (net of overdrafts) and provided coverage of 41% of nonperforming loans.

Noninterest income for the third quarter of 2009 totaled $14.3 million compared to $14.6 million in the second quarter of 2009 and $20.2 million for the third quarter of 2008. Compared to the linked quarter, the $0.3 million, or 2.3%, decline was due to lower mortgage banking fees ($239,000) and merchant fees ($270,000). The decline in mortgage banking fees is attributable to a decline in our residential real estate loan pipeline which spiked mid-year due to a pick-up in refinancing activity. The lower level of merchant fees reflects a seasonal decline in processing volume for the sole remaining merchant in our merchant services portfolio. Partially offsetting the aforementioned unfavorable variances was higher retail brokerage fees ($141,000) driven by an increase in account activity. Compared to the prior year quarter, the $5.9 million, or 29.2%, decline primarily reflects a one-time $6.25 million pre-tax gain from a sale of a portion of the bank's merchant services portfolio in 2008. For the first nine months of 2009, as compared to same period of 2008, noninterest income decreased $10.7 million, or 20.0%, due to the one-time $6.25 million pre-tax gain from the bank's merchant services portfolio sale, a $2.4 million pre-tax gain from the redemption of Visa shares realized in the first quarter of 2008, and an unfavorable variance in merchant fees of $2.9 million related to the aforementioned merchant services portfolio sale.

Noninterest expense totaled $31.6 million for the third quarter of 2009 compared to $32.9 million in the second quarter of 2009 and $29.9 million for the third quarter of 2008. Compared to the linked quarter, the $1.3 million, or 4.0%, favorable variance was due to lower compensation expense ($389,000) and FDIC insurance premium expense ($1.2 million). The lower compensation expense was due to lower pension expense and the lower FDIC insurance expense reflects the impact of the $1.2 million special assessment recorded in the second quarter. These favorable variances were partially offset by a higher level of other real estate owned expense ($300,000) and legal fees ($221,000), both attributable to increased collection and foreclosure activity. Compared to prior year quarter, the $1.7 million, or 5.7%, increase primarily reflects an increase in other real estate owned expense ($1.0 million) and legal expense ($517,000) also attributable to the increase in collection and foreclosure activity. For the first nine months of 2009, as compared to the same period of 2008, noninterest expense increased $6.3 million, or 7.0%, due to higher other real estate owned expense ($2.9 million), legal expense ($1.2 million), pension expense ($2.2 million), and FDIC insurance premium expense ($3.4 million), partially offset by lower expense for merchant fees ($2.5 million), intangible amortization ($1.3 million), and furniture/fixtures depreciation and maintenance ($632,000). The unfavorable variance was also impacted by the reversal of a portion ($1.1 million) of our Visa litigation accrual in the first quarter of 2008, which had the effect of reducing noninterest expense.
