VINELAND, N.J., July 21, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Sun Bancorp, Inc. (Nasdaq:SNBC) reported today second quarter net income of $2.3 million, or $0.10 per share, compared to net income of $4.9 million, or $0.21 per share, for the second quarter of 2007. The prior year comparable quarter includes net charges of approximately $751,000 (pre-tax), or $0.02 per share. The charges represent approximately $541,000 of write-off of unamortized issuance costs of redeemed Sun Trust III trust preferred securities, an early extinguishment of debt charge of $124,000 for an FHLB borrowing prepayment, and $86,000 of severance related expenses.
For the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company reported net income of $6.5 million, or $0.28 per share, compared to $9.6 million, or $0.40 per share, in the prior period. Net income for the prior year period includes net charges of approximately $1.6 million (pre-tax), or $0.05 per share. The charges were a result of $2.4 million of severance related expenses, the $541,000 write-off of unamortized issuance costs of redeemed Sun Trust III trust preferred securities, and an early extinguishment of debt charge of $124,000 for an FHLB borrowing prepayment, offset by a net gain of $1.4 million realized in the first quarter 2007 from the sale of branches.
"As previously announced, we recorded a $6.5 million provision for loan losses during the second quarter, increasing our reserve coverage to 1.19%," said Thomas X. Geisel, president and chief executive officer of Sun Bancorp, Inc. "Clearly, our top priority during the quarter and this year is credit quality -- closely monitoring the financial status of borrowers throughout our markets, gathering information, working on the early detection of potential problems, taking pre-emptive steps where necessary and doing the analysis required to maintain adequate reserves. We are operating in an environment where credit skills and expertise are paramount. Among the independent New Jersey banking institutions, we feel we are well-equipped to manage our way through this cycle.
"We know that capital strength and preservation is also a priority. We have been judiciously repurchasing shares at attractive pricing and will continue to selectively do so, but not to the detriment of our healthy equity position and capital adequacy. Our total common equity available to shareholders currently stands at $360.3 million, with average equity to average assets at 10.92%, tangible capital at 6.45% and our total risk-based capital ratio for Sun National Bank at a level of 10.86%. These measures are well in excess of regulatory minimums for an institution to be considered well-capitalized.
"On the operating side, during the second quarter we did grow loans 3.4% over the linked first quarter, bringing year-to-date loan growth to a respectable 7.7% over where we stood at June 30, 2007. Deposits grew 2.5%, or $68.4 million, over the linked first quarter, which is an encouraging result of our efforts to do a better job selling in the branches and in bringing in new lower-cost core deposit relationships. Non-interest income is growing as we continue to emphasize this area, and our overall expense control efforts remain firm," said Geisel.
The following is an overview of the key financial highlights for the quarter:
* Total assets were $3.425 billion at June 30, 2008, compared to $3.325 billion at June 30, 2007 and $3.366 billion at March 31, 2008.
* Total loans before allowance for loan losses were $2.637 billion at June 30, 2008, an increase of $188.6 million, or 7.7% over total loans at June 30, 2007. Linked quarter loan growth approximated 3.4%.
* Total non-performing assets were $34.1 million at June 30, 2008, or 1.29% of total loans and real estate owned, compared to $30.7 million, or 1.20% at March 31, 2008 and $16.5 million, or 0.67% at June 30, 2007. Net charge-offs for the quarter were $2.9 million and the loan loss provision was $6.5 million, or 0.11% and 0.25% of average loans outstanding, respectively. Net charge-offs and the loan loss provision as a percentage of average loans outstanding were both 0.04% for June 30, 2007 and 0.05% and 0.08% for the linked quarter, respectively. The allowance for loan losses to total loans is 1.19% at June 30, 2008, compared to 1.07% at June 30, 2007 and 1.09% at March 31, 2008. The allowance for loans losses to non-performing loans was 97.30% at June 30, 2008, compared to 169.98% at June 30, 2007 and 102.60% at March 31, 2008. As previously disclosed in our release of July 2, 2008, the current quarter loan loss provision of $6.5 million and the increase in allowance for loan losses is a result of internal downgrades to existing watch list credits, primarily attributable to two commercial loans (a commercial relationship and a commercial real estate development, the former of which is currently performing). The Company expects at this time that net charge-offs will approximate 0.30% of average loans for 2008.
* Total deposits were $2.782 billion at June 30, 2008, an increase of $56.4 million, or 2.1%, over deposits at June 30, 2007, and an increase of $68.4 million, or 2.5%, over the linked first quarter.
* Net interest income (tax-equivalent basis) of $25.0 million for the quarter compares to $23.9 million for the comparable prior year period and $25.1 million for the linked first quarter 2008. Net interest margin for the quarter of 3.30% compares to 3.19% for the comparable prior year period and 3.35% for the linked first quarter 2008. Net interest margin for the six months ended June 30, 2008 of 3.32%, compares to 3.26% for the comparable prior year period.
* Total operating non-interest income for the quarter of $7.8 million increased $1.5 million, or 24.0%, over the comparable prior year period and increased $634,000, or 8.8%, over the linked first quarter 2008. The increase over the prior year period was primarily attributable to an increase in net gain on derivative instruments of $512,000, an increase in BOLI income of $288,000 and an increase in Sun Financial Services revenue earned on investment products provided by a third-party broker-dealer of $561,000. The increase in investment products revenue during the current quarter over the comparable prior year period was primarily attributable, as previously reported, to the internalization of the Company's investment products sales force, which previously operated under an agreement with the independent third-party broker-dealer. The increase in operating non-interest income over the linked quarter was primarily attributable to an increase in net gain on derivative instruments of $398,000 and an increase in service charges on deposit accounts of $168,000.
* Total operating non-interest expenses for the quarter of $22.9 million increased $1.1 million, or 5.1%, over the comparable prior year period and decreased $730,000, or 3.1%, over the linked first quarter 2008. While the current employee count has remained essentially flat over the last 12 months, salaries and benefits includes an increase in salaries of $358,000, an increase in sales commissions of $494,000, and an increase in stock compensation expense of $133,000. The increase in sales commissions over the comparable prior year period is primarily attributable to the previously discussed internalization of the Company's investment products sales force. In addition, FDIC insurance increased $219,000 over the comparable prior year period. The decrease in operating non-interest expense over the linked quarter was primarily attributable to an overall net gain recognized on the sale of three other real estate properties during the quarter of $539,000 and a decrease in advertising expense of $215,000.
