Central Valley Community Bancorp Reports Earnings Results for the Quarter and Six Months Ended June 30, 2012

(firmenpresse) - FRESNO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 07/18/12 -- The Board of Directors of Central Valley Community Bancorp (Company) (NASDAQ: CVCY), the parent company of Central Valley Community Bank (Bank), reported today unaudited consolidated net income of $3,422,000, and diluted earnings per common share of $0.34 for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to $3,361,000 and $0.33 per diluted common share for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Net income increased 1.81%, primarily driven by a decrease in non-interest expense, partially offset by a higher provision for credit losses and decreases in non-interest income in 2012 compared to 2011. Non-performing assets decreased $2,094,000 or 14.51% to $12,340,000 at June 30, 2012, compared to $14,434,000 at December 31, 2011. Included in non-performing assets is $2,098,000 in OREO as of June 30, 2012 compared to none at December 31, 2011. Shareholders' equity increased $5,777,000, or 5.37% during the six months ended June 30, 2012. The growth in shareholders' equity was driven by net income during the period, an increase in other comprehensive income, and the issuance of common stock from the exercise of stock options. Unaudited consolidated net income and diluted earnings per common share for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, were marginally lower than in the first quarter of 2012 and the corresponding quarter in 2011.
During the first two quarters of 2012, the Company's total assets decreased 1.53%, total liabilities decreased 2.53%, and shareholders' equity increased 5.37% compared to December 31, 2011. Return on average equity (ROE) for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was 6.12%, compared to 6.67% for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The decrease in ROE reflects an increase in capital from an increase in other comprehensive income and an increase in retained earnings, which were greater than the increase in net income. Return on average assets (ROA) was 0.82% and 0.87% for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
During the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $500,000, compared to $350,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company recorded $1,756,000 in net loan charge-offs, compared to $330,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The net charge-off ratio, which reflects net charge-offs to average loans, was 0.85% for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to 0.15% for the same period in 2011. The Company also recorded OREO related expenses of $72,000 during 2012 compared to $2,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011.
At June 30, 2012, the allowance for credit losses stood at $10,140,000, compared to $11,396,000 at December 31, 2011, a net decrease of $1,256,000. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total loans was 2.45% at June 30, 2012, and 2.67% at December 31, 2011. The Company believes the allowance for credit losses is adequate to provide for probable losses inherent within the loan portfolio at June 30, 2012.
Total non-performing assets were $12,340,000, or 1.48% of total assets as of June 30, 2012 compared to $14,434,000 or 1.70% of total assets as of December 31, 2011. Total non-performing assets as of June 30, 2011 were $14,959,000 or 1.89% of total assets.
The following provides a reconciliation of the change in non-accrual loans for the first two quarters of 2012.
The following provides a summary of the change in the OREO balance for the six months ended June 30, 2012:
The Company's net interest margin (fully tax equivalent basis) was 4.35% for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to 4.69% for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The decrease in net interest margin in the period-to-period comparison resulted primarily from a decrease in the yield on the Company's investment portfolio partially offset by a decrease in the Company's cost of funds. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, the effective yield on total earning assets decreased 51 basis points to 4.64% compared to 5.15% for the six months ended June 30, 2011, while the cost of total interest-bearing liabilities decreased 23 basis points to 0.42% compared to 0.65% for the six months ended June 30, 2011.

The effective yield on average investment securities decreased to 3.02% for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to 3.48% for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The decrease in yield in the Company's investment securities during 2012 resulted primarily from the purchase of lower yielding investment securities. Average loans, which generally yield higher rates than investment securities, decreased 4.17%, from $429,737,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 to $411,810,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The effective yield on average loans decreased to 6.09% from 6.35% between June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2012. The cost of total deposits decreased 17 basis points to 0.27% for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to 0.44% for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Net interest income before the provision for credit losses for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $15,176,000, compared to $15,392,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011, a decrease of $216,000 or 1.40%. Net interest income decreased as a result of these yield changes and an increase in interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by an increase in average earning assets.
Total average assets for the six months ended June 30, 2012 were $833,345,000 compared to $775,625,000, for the six months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $57,720,000 or 7.44%. Total average loans were $411,810,000 for 2012, compared to $429,737,000 for 2011, representing a decrease of $17,927,000 or 4.17%. Total average investments, including deposits in other banks and Federal funds sold, increased to $343,836,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012, from $275,623,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011, representing an increase of $68,213,000 or 24.75%. Total average deposits increased $47,288,000 or 7.22% to $702,559,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to $655,271,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Average interest-bearing deposits increased $15,109,000, or 3.12%, and average non-interest bearing demand deposits increased $32,179,000, or 18.77%, for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2011. The Company's ratio of average non-interest bearing deposits to total deposits was 28.99% for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to 26.17% for the six months ended June 30, 2011.
Non-interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $3,129,000, compared to $3,345,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company had $521,000 more in gains on the sale of other real estate owned, and $83,000 more in service charge income than during the six months ended June 30, 2012. These differences, netted against a $418,000 increase in net realized gains on sales and calls of investment securities, a $93,000 increase in loan placement fees, and a $31,000 change in net impairment loss recognized in earnings, were primarily the reasons for the $216,000 decrease in non-interest income for the first six months of 2012 compared to the first six months of 2011.
Non-interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2012 decreased $584,000, or 4.11%, to $13,636,000 compared to $14,220,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011, primarily due to decreases in occupancy and equipment expenses of $112,000, advertising fees of $86,000, legal fees of $94,000, and regulatory assessments of $158,000, partially offset by increases in other real estate owned expenses of $72,000 and salaries and employee benefits of $10,000.
The Company recorded an income tax expense of $747,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to $806,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The effective tax rate for 2012 was 17.92% compared to 19.34% for the six months ended June 30, 2011.
Quarter Ended June 30, 2012
For the quarter ended June 30, 2012, the Company reported unaudited consolidated net income of $1,709,000 and diluted earnings per common share of $0.17, compared to $1,773,000 and $0.18 per diluted share, for the same period in 2011, and $1,713,000 and $0.17 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2012. The decrease in net income during the second quarter of 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 is primarily due to decreases in interest income and decreases in non-interest income partially offset by decreases in interest expense and a decrease in non-interest expense.
Annualized return on average equity for the second quarter of 2012 was 6.06%, compared to 6.92% for the same period of 2011. This decrease is reflective of a decrease in net income and an increase in capital. Annualized return on average assets was 0.82% for the second quarter of 2012 compared to 0.91% for the same period in 2011. This decrease is due to a decrease in net income and an increase in average assets.
In comparing the second quarter of 2012 to the second quarter of 2011, average total loans decreased $22,278,000, or 5.14%. During the second quarter of 2012, the Company recorded a $100,000 provision for credit losses, compared to $250,000 for the same period in 2011. During the second quarter of 2012, the Company recorded $245,000 in net loan charge-offs compared to $235,000 for the same period in 2011. The net charge-off ratio, which reflects annualized net charge-offs to average loans, was 0.24% for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 compared to 0.22% for the quarter ended June 30, 2011.
The following provides a reconciliation of the change in non-accrual loans for the quarter ended June 30, 2012.
The following provides a summary of the change in the OREO balance for the quarter ended June 30, 2012:
Average total deposits for the second quarter of 2012 increased $39,557,000 or 5.98% to $700,598,000 compared to $661,041,000 for the same period of 2011.
The Company's net interest margin (fully tax equivalent basis) decreased 38 basis points to 4.33% for the three months ended June 30, 2012, from 4.71% for the three months ended June 30, 2011. Net interest income, before provision for credit losses, decreased $284,000 or 3.64% to $7,510,000 for the second quarter of 2012, compared to $7,794,000 for the same period in 2011. The decreases in net interest margin and in net interest income are primarily due to a decrease in the yield on interest-earning assets and a decrease in average loan balances. Over the same periods, the cost of total deposits decreased 17 basis points to 0.26% compared to 0.43% in 2011.
Non-interest income decreased $126,000 or 7.89% to $1,471,000 for the second quarter of 2012 compared to $1,597,000 for the same period in 2011. The second quarter of 2011 non-interest income included a $142,000 gain related to the final distribution of the Service 1st escrow account and an $85,000 gain related to the collection of life insurance proceeds. Non-interest expense decreased $349,000 or 4.94% for the same periods mainly due to decreases in regulatory assessments, advertising, salaries and employee benefits, and occupancy expenses, partially offset by increases in other real estate owned expense.
"The second quarter of 2012 demonstrates overall earnings consistency. Net income for the second quarter of 2012 is flat compared to first quarter 2012, slightly lower than the same quarter of 2011, and slightly higher for the first six months of 2012 compared to the first six months of 2011," stated Daniel J. Doyle, President and CEO of Central Valley Community Bancorp and Central Valley Community Bank.
"Asset quality continues to improve with no significant change from first quarter 2012 as the one identified OREO, comprising the bulk of OREO total at June 30, 2012, is in escrow and expected to close during the third quarter of 2012. Loan demand remains a challenge and, combined with low yields on securities, has muted the growth of gross revenue. We are seeing slow, but improving trends in the communities we serve, which we regard as a positive indicator in the economic landscape," concluded Doyle.
