Central Valley Community Bancorp Reports Earnings Results for the Quarter and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012
(firmenpresse) - FRESNO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 10/17/12 -- 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 $5,878,000, and diluted earnings per common share of $0.58 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to $4,769,000 and $0.46 per diluted common share for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Net income increased 23.25%, primarily driven by a decrease in non-interest expense and increases in non-interest income, partially offset by a decrease in net interest income in the first three quarters of 2012 compared to the first three quarters of 2011. Non-performing assets decreased $4,244,000 or 29.40% to $10,190,000 at September 30, 2012, compared to $14,434,000 at December 31, 2011. Shareholders' equity increased $10,004,000, or 9.31% during the nine months ended September 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 September 30, 2012, were higher than in the first two quarters of 2012 and the corresponding quarter in 2011.
During the first three quarters of 2012, the Company's total assets increased 4.56%, total liabilities increased 3.87%, and shareholders' equity increased 9.31% compared to December 31, 2011. Annualized return on average equity (ROE) for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was 6.91%, compared to 6.21% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The increase in ROE reflects an increase in net income, notwithstanding an increase in capital from an increase in other comprehensive income and an increase in retained earnings. Annualized return on average assets (ROA) was 0.93% and 0.81% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The increase in ROA is due to an increase in net income, notwithstanding an increase in average assets.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $500,000, compared to $750,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company recorded $1,682,000 in net loan charge-offs, compared to $733,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The net charge-off ratio, which reflects net charge-offs to average loans, was 0.55% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to 0.23% for the same period in 2011. The Company also recorded OREO related expenses of $78,000 during 2012 compared to $11,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.
At September 30, 2012, the allowance for credit losses stood at $10,214,000, compared to $11,396,000 at December 31, 2011, a net decrease of $1,182,000. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total loans was 2.56% at September 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 September 30, 2012.
Total non-performing assets were $10,190,000, or 1.15% of total assets as of September 30, 2012 compared to $14,434,000 or 1.70% of total assets as of December 31, 2011. Total non-performing assets as of September 30, 2011 were $17,064,000 or 2.04% of total assets.
The following provides a reconciliation of the change in non-accrual loans for the first three quarters of 2012.
The following provides a summary of the change in the OREO balance for the nine months ended September 30, 2012:
The Company's net interest margin (fully tax equivalent basis) was 4.30% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to 4.68% for the nine months ended September 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 nine months ended September 30, 2012, the effective yield on total earning assets decreased 54 basis points to 4.57% compared to 5.11% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, while the cost of total interest-bearing liabilities decreased 22 basis points to 0.39% compared to 0.61% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

The effective yield on average investment securities decreased to 2.88% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to 3.42% for the nine months ended September 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 $22,416,000, from $431,506,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 to $409,090,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The effective yield on average loans decreased to 6.12% from 6.32% between September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2012. Net interest income before the provision for credit losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $22,748,000, compared to $23,341,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, a decrease of $593,000 or 2.54%. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2012 were $842,477,000 compared to $786,394,000, for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, an increase of $56,083,000 or 7.13%. Total average loans were $409,090,000 for the first three quarters of 2012, compared to $431,506,000 for the same period in 2011, representing a decrease of $22,416,000. Total average investments, including deposits in other banks and Federal funds sold, increased to $354,767,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, from $283,567,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, representing an increase of $71,200,000 or 25.11%. Total average deposits increased $45,505,000 or 6.84% to $710,698,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to $665,193,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Average interest-bearing deposits increased $11,380,000, or 2.33%, and average non-interest bearing demand deposits increased $34,125,000, or 19.39%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

The net gain realized on sales and calls of investment securities was the result of a partial restructuring of the investment portfolio designed to improve the future performance of the portfolio.
Non-interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 decreased $1,151,000, or 5.37%, to $20,291,000 compared to $21,442,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, primarily due to decreases in occupancy and equipment expenses of $184,000, advertising fees of $129,000, legal fees of $148,000, salaries and employee benefits of $275,000, and regulatory assessments of $176,000, partially offset by increases in other real estate owned expenses of $67,000 and audit and accounting fees of $42,000.
The Company recorded an income tax expense of $1,492,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to $1,320,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The effective tax rate for 2012 was 20.24% compared to 21.68% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.
Quarter Ended September 30, 2012
For the quarter ended September 30, 2012, the Company reported unaudited consolidated net income of $2,456,000 and diluted earnings per common share of $0.25, compared to $1,408,000 and $0.13 per diluted share, for the same period in 2011, and $1,709,000 and $0.17 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2012. The increase in net income during the third quarter of 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 is primarily due to decreases in net interest income, provision for credit losses, and non-interest expense; and increases in non-interest income.
Annualized return on average equity for the third quarter of 2012 was 8.43%, compared to 5.34% for the same period of 2011. This increase is reflective of an increase in net income partially offset by an increase in capital. Annualized return on average assets was 1.14% for the third quarter of 2012 compared to 0.7% for the same period in 2011. This increase is due to an increase in net income notwithstanding an increase in average assets.
In comparing the third quarter of 2012 to the third quarter of 2011, average total loans decreased $31,274,000, or 7.19%. During the third quarter of 2012, the Company did not record a provision for credit losses, compared to $400,000 for the same period in 2011. During the third quarter of 2012, the Company recorded $74,000 in net loan recoveries compared to $404,000 net loan charge-offs for the same period in 2011. The net charge-off ratio, which reflects annualized net charge-offs (recoveries) to average loans, was (0.07)% for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 compared to 0.37% for the quarter ended September 30, 2011.
The following provides a reconciliation of the change in non-accrual loans for the quarter ended September 30, 2012.

The Company's net interest margin (fully tax equivalent basis) decreased 45 basis points to 4.21% for the quarter ended September 30, 2012, from 4.66% for the quarter ended September 30, 2011.

Over the same periods, the cost of total deposits decreased 17 basis points to 0.20% compared to 0.37% in 2011.
Non-interest income increased $689,000 or 43.20% to $2,284,000 for the third quarter of 2012 compared to $1,595,000 for the same period in 2011. The third quarter of 2012 non-interest income included $843,000 in net realized gains on sales and calls of investment securities compared to $223,000 for the same period in 2011. Non-interest expense decreased $567,000 or 7.85% for the same periods mainly due to decreases in salaries and employee benefits, occupancy expense, regulatory assessments, advertising expense, and legal fees, partially offset by increases in audit and accounting fees.
"The third quarter of 2012 showed consistent and improved earnings due to expense reduction and non-interest income increase from securities called/sold and from loan placement fees. This along with continued asset quality improvement highlights the safety and financial strength of our company," stated Daniel J. Doyle, President and CEO of Central Valley Community Bancorp and Central Valley Community Bank.
"Gross loans decreased during the quarter as a result of customer paydowns. The market for loans continues to experience competitive pricing and terms. We are seeing some increase in loan commitments, but reduced usage on lines of credit due to the economic uncertainty factors affecting our business borrowers and the profitability of many of our agriculture-related borrowers," concluded Doyle.
