Monroe Bancorp Reports Earnings of $710,000 or $0.114 Per Share for the Third Quarter of 2009


BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Oct. 27, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Monroe Bancorp (the "Company") (Nasdaq:MROE), the independent Bloomington-based holding company for Monroe Bank (the "Bank"), today reported net income of $710,000 or $0.114 per diluted common share for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 compared to $735,000 or $0.118 per diluted common share for the same period in 2008. Net income for the second quarter was $776,000 or $0.125 per diluted common share.

The expense associated with the Company's $13 million of subordinated debt, which was issued on July 17, 2009 was significant to the third quarter results. The subordinated debt added $271,000 of interest expense and $16,000 of amortized expense to the third quarter of 2009. The impact of the subordinated debt is discussed in greater detail later in this release.

Return on average assets and return on average equity for the third quarter of 2009 were 0.34 percent and 4.95 percent, respectively, compared to 0.37 percent and 5.20 percent, respectively, for the third quarter of 2008.

Net income for the first nine months of 2009 totaled $2,592,000 or $0.417 per diluted common share compared to $4,188,000 or $0.673 per diluted common share for the same period of 2008. This represents a 38.1 percent decrease in net income and a 38.0 percent decrease in diluted earnings per share. The decrease in net income and diluted earnings per share was primarily due to a $2,270,000 or 48.0 percent increase in the provision for loan losses in the first nine months of 2009 compared to the same period in 2008. Return on average assets and return on average equity were 0.42 percent and 6.14 percent, respectively, for the first nine months of 2009 compared to 0.71 percent and 10.01 percent, respectively, for the first nine months of 2008.

The provision for loan losses totaled $2,200,000 for the third quarter of 2009 compared to $2,800,000 for the same period of 2008. The $600,000 lower provision during the third quarter of 2009 compared to the same period of 2008 was offset by net losses on foreclosed assets (other real estate owned and repossessions) of $761,000 during the third quarter of 2009 compared to a net gain of $4,000 during the third quarter of 2008. Additional asset quality information is presented in the section of this release titled Asset Quality.

The provision for loan losses in the third quarter of 2009 matched the $2,200,000 for the second quarter of 2009.

"I am pleased we were again able to produce over $700,000 of net income during a quarter where we continued to focus on the resolution of problem assets," said Mark D. Bradford, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Our efforts to contain and manage our problem assets, control costs and actively build business have helped us achieve this positive result. We are also pleased by the successful completion of our subordinated debt offering through which we were able to strengthen the capital levels of the Company and the Bank."

Subordinated Debt

On July 17, 2009, the Company raised $13 million of Tier 2 capital through the issuance of subordinated debentures. The subordinated debentures were issued as the result of a public offering underwritten by Howe Barnes Hoefer & Arnett, Inc. The debentures carry an interest rate of 10 percent and will mature on June 30, 2019. The Company has the right to call the debt at any time after three years. The subordinated debentures were issued pursuant to the prospectus filed as part of the Company's registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933. The net proceeds from the offering allowed the Company to provide an additional $10 million of capital to the Bank in order to solidify its balance sheet against future credit losses. Proceeds from the offering will also be used for general corporate purposes at the holding company level.

The subordinated debt increased interest expense during the third quarter by $287,000 including $16,000 of debt issuance amortization expense. The impact of this transaction on the Company's third quarter net interest margin is illustrated below. As shown below, excluding the impact of the subordinated debt, the Company's net interest margin for the third quarter of 2009 would have been 0.17 percent higher than the second quarter of 2009 and 0.07 percent higher than the same period of 2008.

Financial Performance

Net interest income before the provision for loan losses increased 1.7 percent to $6,084,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared to $5,980,000 for the same period in 2008. The increase is largely attributable to lower funding costs (mostly deposits) which largely offset the impact of the subordinated debt. The tax-equivalent net interest margin as a percentage of average earning assets for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 was 3.20 percent, compared to 3.21 percent for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 and 3.31 percent for the third quarter of 2008.

Net interest income before the provision for loan losses, increased $460,000 or 2.6 percent to $18,071,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to $17,611,000 for the same period in 2008. The tax-equivalent net interest margin for the first nine months of 2009 was 3.20 percent, compared to 3.33 percent for the first nine months of 2008. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP tax-equivalent net interest margin to the GAAP net interest margin is provided in a table entitled "Reconciliation of GAAP Net Interest Margin to Non-GAAP Net Interest Margin on a Tax-Equivalent Basis," included at the end of the attached financial summary.

Noninterest income totaled $2,413,000 for the third quarter of 2009 compared to $2,549,000 for the same period of 2008. Excluding the effect of the Company's deferred compensation plan, discussed in the "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information" section of this release, noninterest income totaled $2,237,000 for the third quarter of 2009 compared to $2,771,000 for the same period of 2008, a decrease of $534,000 or 19.3 percent. The decrease in noninterest income was driven by the previously discussed $761,000 of net losses on foreclosed assets. Other noninterest income categories worth noting are fees from the sale of loans (increased $172,000), gains on sales of available for sale securities (increased $54,000), trust fees (increased $45,000) and deposit related service charges (decreased $91,000).

Noninterest income totaled $8,861,000 for the first nine months of 2009 compared to $7,937,000 for the same period of 2008. Excluding the effect of the Company's deferred compensation plan, noninterest income totaled $8,595,000 for the first nine months of 2009 compared to $8,393,000 for the same period of 2008. The $202,000 or 2.4 percent increase over the same period of 2008 was primarily the result of an $881,000 increase in gains on sales of available for sale securities and a $545,000 increase in net gains on loan sales offsetting an $807,000 increase in net losses on foreclosed assets.

Noninterest expense was $5,429,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009, compared to $5,069,000 for the same period of 2008. Noninterest expense, adjusted to remove the effect of the Company's deferred compensation plan, was $5,242,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009, compared to $5,269,000 for the same period of 2008. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP noninterest income and expense, adjusted to remove the effect of the Company's deferred compensation plan, is provided in a table entitled "Reconciliation of GAAP Noninterest Income & Expense to Noninterest Income & Expense Without the Financial Impact of the Deferred Compensation Plan", included at the end of the attached financial summary. The $27,000 or 0.5 percent decrease in noninterest expense is largely the result of Management's efforts to control compensation expense (salary, incentive compensation and employee benefits for the third quarter of 2009 are $182,000 or 6.0 percent lower than those of the same period of 2008) and marketing expense (down $49,000) offsetting the $140,000 increase in FDIC expense.

Noninterest expense totaled $16,775,000 for the first nine months of 2009 compared to $15,830,000 for the same period of 2008. Noninterest expense, excluding the effect of the Company's deferred compensation plan, was $16,462,000 for the first nine months of 2009, compared to $16,210,000 for the same period of 2008. The $252,000, or 1.6 percent increase was driven by an $871,000 increase in FDIC expense which more than offset Management's efforts to reduce expenses in all other expense categories.

Asset Quality

Nonperforming assets and 90-day past due loans totaled $21,622,000 (2.62 percent of total assets) at September 30, 2009 compared to $22,959,000 (2.79 percent of total assets) at June 30, 2009 and $14,565,000 (1.78 percent of total assets) at September 30, 2008.

Net charge-offs for the third quarter of 2009 totaled $1,979,000 or 1.30 percent of total loans compared to $1,576,000 (1.01 percent of total loans) for the second quarter of 2009 and $1,151,000 (0.75 percent of total loans) for the third quarter of 2008.

The Bank employs an internal system called the "Watch List" to bring attention to credits with varying degrees of concern over the prospects of complete repayment, including both principal and all interest. These concerns may be objectively based on the borrower's financial and payment performance or on subjective concerns that Bank management has with the markets and conditions that the borrower operates within. Loans on this list include:



 -- Loans with well defined weaknesses where the prospect of
    complete repayment of principal and interest is remote and
    loans placed on non-accrual where specific reserves and
    charge-offs are applied as needed, and

 -- Loans with potential weaknesses (whether borrower specific or
    due to market/economic considerations) that need to be resolved
    in order to avoid jeopardizing the complete repayment of
    principal and interest and the loan is subjected to additional
    scrutiny and assessment and internal documentation.

Loans on the Watch List tend to be more dependent on collateral if the borrower's repayment capacity is diminished and the Bank devotes additional attention to revaluing the collateral as appropriate in assessing the probability of loss.

"While I am pleased that the watch list has stabilized over the past three quarters, I remain disappointed with the Company's overall level of problem assets and the impact that they are having on our income. Problem asset resolution remains our number one priority," said Mr. Bradford.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

To supplement the Company's consolidated condensed financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, the Company has used the following non-GAAP measures of reporting:

(1) The net interest margin is reported on a tax equivalent basis. The tax equivalent adjustment to net interest income recognizes the income tax savings when comparing taxable and tax-exempt assets and assumes a marginal income tax rate of 34 percent. Management believes that it is a standard practice in the banking industry to present net interest margin and net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis. Therefore, management believes these measures provide useful information to investors by allowing them to make peer comparisons. A table entitled "Reconciliation of GAAP Net Interest Margin to Non-GAAP Net Interest Margin on a Tax-Equivalent Basis," included at the end of the attached financial summary, reconciles the non-GAAP financial measure "net interest income (tax-equivalent)" with net interest income calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. The table also reconciles the non-GAAP financial measure "net interest margin (tax-equivalent)" with net interest margin calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

(2) Noninterest income and noninterest expense are reported without the effect of income and expenses related to securities held in a rabbi trust for the deferred compensation plan. A table entitled "Reconciliation of GAAP Noninterest Income & Expense to Noninterest Income & Expense Without the Financial Impact of the Deferred Compensation Plan", included at the end of the attached financial summary, details all the items included in noninterest income and expense associated with the deferred compensation plan / rabbi trust and reconciles the GAAP numbers to the non-GAAP numbers. The activity in the rabbi trust has no effect on the Company's net income, therefore, management believes a more accurate comparison of current and prior year noninterest income and noninterest expense can be made if items related to the rabbi trust are removed.

The Company believes these adjustments are appropriate to enhance an overall understanding of the Company's past financial performance and also its prospects for the future. These adjustments to the Company's GAAP results are made with the intent of providing both management and investors a more complete understanding of the underlying operational results and trends and the Company's marketplace performance. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the numbers prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.
