VALDOSTA, Ga., Jan. 29, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PAB Bankshares, Inc. (Nasdaq:PABK), the parent company for The Park Avenue Bank, announced its consolidated financial results for the fourth quarter and full-year 2008. During the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company provided $8.5 million to its allowance for loan losses due to an increase in problem loans and deteriorating economic conditions. In addition, the Company reported $752,000 in net losses on other real estate owned, $1.1 million of uncollectable interest income reversed on nonperforming loans, $712,000 in legal, collection and carrying charges related to its nonperforming assets, and $2.0 million in previously-announced, one-time charges to exit two markets during the quarter. The total of the provision for loan losses, the expenses related to the nonperforming assets and the costs to exit two markets amounted to $13.1 million for the quarter. As a result of these events, the Company reported a net loss of $5.8 million, or $0.60 per diluted share, for the three months ended December 31, 2008. "The slowdown in the economy and the continued deterioration in the Atlanta residential real estate market resulted in a net loss to the Company for 2008. However, the stability of our core banking operations remains the strength of our Company. We greatly appreciate our loyal customer base and our shareholders for their continued support. It will take time, but I am confident in our ability to return to profitability after we have completed addressing our asset quality issues," stated Company President and CEO M. Burke Welsh, Jr.
For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company reported a net loss of $5.9 million, or $0.63 per diluted share, compared to net earnings of $10.8 million, or $1.11 per diluted share, for 2007. Similar to the fourth quarter results, the decrease in earnings for the year was due primarily to a $15.65 million increase in the provision for loan losses, the $3.6 million decrease in net interest income caused by nonperforming loans and the $1.3 million net loss realized on other real estate owned. The loss for the year resulted in a return on average assets ("ROA") of -0.48% and a return on average equity ("ROE") of -6.10%, both decreases compared to the 0.93% ROA and 11.00% ROE reported for the 2007 fiscal year.
At December 31, 2008, the Company reported total assets of $1.35 billion, a $151.4 million, or 13%, increase from the $1.20 billion in total assets reported at December 31, 2007. During the year, total loans outstanding increased $35.3 million, or 4%, to $956.7 million, and total deposits increased $143.6 million, or 15%, to $1.12 billion. "Despite the net loss for the year, we remain well-capitalized. Our subsidiary's total risk-based capital was $105 million, or 10.34% of the bank's total risk-weighted assets, at year end," added Welsh. Additional information regarding the Company's financial results is provided in the tables accompanying this press release.

Nonperforming assets consisted of $54.9 million in nonaccrual loans, $25.3 million in foreclosed real estate and other repossessed assets, $311,000 in loans classified as troubled-debt restructurings and $206,000 in loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest. * For the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2008, the Company charged off $9.4 million in loans and recovered $70,000 in loans previously charged-off for an annualized net charge-off ratio of 3.83% of average loans. * For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company charged off $12.1 million in loans and recovered $545,000 in loans previously charged- off for a net charge-off ratio of 1.21% of average loans. * The allowance for loan losses represented approximately 2.03% of total loans and 34.97% of total nonperforming loans. * The Company wrote down $5.8 million of its nonperforming loans during the fourth quarter and allocated an additional $4.1 million of its allowance for loan losses for the remaining balance of the $54.4 million in nonperforming loans at year end, resulting in a 7.4% reserve ratio on the remaining balance of nonperforming loans. * The nonperforming loans consisted of: --------------------------------------------------------------------- Average Net Carrying Collateral Carrying Category Value * Description Value/ Unit --------------------------------------------------------------------- Construction and Development $9.3 million 7 parcels of $12,600 per undeveloped acre land totaling 738 acres --------------------------------------------------------------------- Construction and Development $14.0 million 506 residential $27,700 lots per lot --------------------------------------------------------------------- 1-4 Family Residential $8.3 million 80 houses $104,000 per house --------------------------------------------------------------------- Commercial Real Estate $8.3 million 17 commercial $488,000 per properties property --------------------------------------------------------------------- Commercial and Industrial $2.8 million Non-real estate $404,000 per collateral loan --------------------------------------------------------------------- Multi-Family Residential $8.6 million 9 condominium $950,000 units per unit --------------------------------------------------------------------- Consumer $97,000 Non-real estate $5,700 per collateral loan --------------------------------------------------------------------- * The term "net carrying value" represents the book value of the loan less any allocated allowance for loan losses. * Foreclosed properties included: --------------------------------------------------------------------- Category Book Value Description Average Value/ Unit --------------------------------------------------------------------- Construction and Development $4.4 million 5 parcels of $7,500 per acre undeveloped land totaling 582 acres --------------------------------------------------------------------- Construction and Development $6.3 million 267 residential lots $24,000 per lot --------------------------------------------------------------------- 1-4 Family Residential $9.7 million 54 houses $180,000 per house --------------------------------------------------------------------- Commercial Real Estate $4.9 million 19 commercial $258,000 per properties property --------------------------------------------------------------------- * The Company had loans to four real estate developers for various residential construction and development projects in Georgia and Florida which represent $29.7 million, or 37%, of total nonperforming assets, of which, $22.6 million were in nonperforming loans and $7.1 million were in other real estate owned at year end.
