(firmenpresse) - MONTEREY, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 10/18/12 -- (OTCBB: FISB): 1st Capital Bank continued to build core relationships as it closed the third quarter of 2012 with an increase in net income of 73% over the same quarter a year ago and $303 million in total assets, representing 28% growth over the same quarter a year ago. "1st Capital's growth in earning assets continues to significantly outperform the national average for the industry," stated CEO and President Fred Rowden.
Key Performance Highlights of the Third Quarter 2012:
Net income increased 73% compared to the same quarter a year ago, resulting in an ROA of 0.7% for the quarter
Total assets increased $67 million or 28% to $303 million as of September 30, 2012 compared to September 30, 2011
Total deposits grew $65 million, or 32%, to $269 million compared to the third quarter of 2011
Loans outstanding grew $33 million, or 17%, to a total of $234 million compared to the third quarter of 2011
Asset quality continued to be strong, with a ratio of nonperforming loans to total loans of just 0.31% at September 30, 2012
Regulatory "Well Capitalized" levels were maintained, with a total risk based capital ratio of 15.3% at September 30, 2012
As a result of the Bank's strong loan growth and reductions in the cost of interest bearing liabilities, net interest income increased by $516,000 as compared to the same quarter in the prior year. This was slightly offset by an increase in non-interest expenses of $154,000, resulting from investments in staff and facilities, since the same quarter in the prior year. Net income of $539,000 for the quarter was up 73% compared to $312,000 in the third quarter of 2011. Profits generated over the last twelve months have increased book value from $9.79 at September 30, 2011 to $10.26 as of September 30, 2012. The efficiency ratio (operating costs compared to income from operations) improved to 0.67 for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 compared to 0.75 for the same quarter one year ago.
"Despite the economic pressures the state and nation have faced, Monterey County has remained a resilient market with a strong economic base including the diversified business sectors of agriculture, hospitality, tourism, medical and education. 1st Capital Bank's role in this diversified economy has contributed to the positive results of operations of the Bank through the quarter ended September 30, 2012," said Fred Rowden, CEO and President.
During the third quarter of 2012, the Bank continued to leverage its investment in staff and infrastructure as it built new relationships that contributed to positive growth. These relationships have increased the percentage of core checking and savings accounts to 87% of total deposits compared to 78% one year ago. In addition, the overall cost of deposits has dropped from 0.50% to 0.31% during the same time period. As the Bank continues to grow it is also leveraging its capital, as evidenced by current Total Risk Based Capital of 15.3% compared to 17.1% one year ago.

Net Income - Income before taxes was $929,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 compared to $547,000 for the same quarter in the prior year. This increase was largely due to an increase in interest income and a decrease in interest expense, partially offset by an increase in non-interest expense. Net income of $539,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 increased $227,000 compared to net income of $312,000 for the same quarter in the prior year, and increased $330,000 over the net income for the trailing quarter ended June 30, 2012.
Basic and fully diluted earnings per share of $0.17 and $0.16, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2012 continued to add to retained earnings. These per share earnings increased from $0.10, basic and fully diluted for the same quarter a year ago and $0.06 basic and fully diluted for the prior quarter.
Balance Sheet Total assets of $303 million as of September 30, 2012 increased $67 million (28%) from September 30, 2011 and decreased $1 million (0%) from June 30, 2012. Loans grew $33 million (17%) from September 30, 2011 to a total of $234 million as of September 30, 2012, with $6 million (3%) of that growth occurring in the three-month period ended September 30, 2012. Loan growth was funded largely by increased deposits, which grew $65 million (32%) from September 30, 2011 to a total of $269 million as of September 30, 2012, and decreased by $2 million (1%) from the balances outstanding as of June 30, 2012. As of September 30, 2012, the ratio of loans to deposits increased to 87% compared to 84% as of June 30, 2012 and 99% as of September 30, 2011.
Interest Income and Expense Net interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 was $3,089,000, an increase of $516,000 (20%) over the quarter ended September 30, 2011 and an increase of $191,000 (7%) over the trailing quarter ended June 30, 2012.
Interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 was $3,298,000, an increase of $473,000 (17%) over the quarter ended September 30, 2011 and an increase of $176,000 (6%) over the trailing quarter ended June 30, 2012. Average earning assets for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 were $292 million, an increase of $67 million (30%) and $5 million (2%) compared to the quarters ended September 30, 2011, and June 30, 2012, respectively.
Interest expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 was $209,000, a reduction of $43,000 (17%) from the quarter ended September 30, 2011 and a decrease of $15,000 (7%) from the trailing quarter ended June 30, 2012. Average interest bearing liabilities for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 were $167 million, an increase of $30 million (22%) compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2011 and unchanged from June 30, 2012. While the average balances of interest-bearing deposit liabilities for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 increased compared to September 30, 2011, interest expense decreased due to the repricing of interest-bearing deposits, reflecting the Bank's continued focus on improving its net interest margin. Average noninterest bearing deposits of $103 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 grew $38 million (58%) and $6 million (6%) compared to the quarters ended September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2012, respectively.
These changes in the composition and pricing of 1st Capital Bank's earning assets and deposit liabilities resulted in a net interest margin for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 of 4.2% compared to 4.5% for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 and 4.1% for the quarter ended June 30, 2012. The decrease in net interest margin from a year ago was primarily the result of strong growth in the deposit portfolio during that time which resulted in an increase in liquidity that temporarily reduced the yield on earning assets and to the prolonged low interest rate environment which resulted in a decline in the loan portfolio yield. During the quarter ended September 30, 2012, the yield on the loan portfolio decreased to 5.4% compared to 5.7% for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 and 5.6% for the quarter ended June 30, 2012. Further, the Bank continued to reduce the overall cost of deposits to just 0.3% for the period ended September 30, 2012 from 0.5% and 0.3%, respectively, for the three month periods ended September 30, 2011 June 30, 2012.
Provision for Loan Losses - 1st Capital Bank recorded a provision for loan losses of $98,000 during the quarter ended September 30, 2012 compared to $102,000 in the quarter ended September 30, 2011 and $424,000 in the trailing quarter ended June 30, 2012. The provision continues to be impacted by the volume and variety of loan growth in addition to management's assessment of the condition of the loan portfolio. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans outstanding was 1.66% at September 30, 2012 compared to 1.56% and 1.66% at September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2012, respectively. The Bank's asset quality remained strong, with a ratio of impaired and nonperforming loans to total loans of only 0.31% as of September 30, 2012. The Bank has never had any real estate acquired through foreclosure.
Noninterest Income Noninterest income increased $16,000 (50%) to $48,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2011 and increased $11,000 (30%) compared to the trailing quarter ended June 30, 2012, largely due to changes in the volume of fees for services.
