GAINESVILLE, Ga., Feb. 20, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- GB&T Bancshares, Inc. (Nasdaq:GBTB) today announced that it will increase its allowance for loan losses through an additional provision of approximately $9.7 million in the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2006. The approximate after tax effect of this provision is expected to result in a reduction in net income of $5.9 million for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2006 from the amounts that were previously reported in the Company's press release issued January 24, 2007. After giving effect to the additional provision for loan losses, the Company's net loss for the fourth quarter of 2006 was ($1.9 million), or ($0.13) per diluted share, compared to previously reported net income of $4.0 million, or $0.28 per diluted share. After giving effect to the additional provision for loan losses, the Company's net income for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 was $9.5 million, or $0.68 per diluted share, compared to previously reported net income of $15.5 million, or $1.11 per diluted share. With the additional provision of $9.7 million, the Company's allowance for loan losses totaled $24.7 million at December 31, 2006, or 1.65% of total loans, compared to 1.17% as previously reported. Nonperforming assets at December 31, 2006 were $30.2 million, or 1.59% of total assets, compared to $19.5 million, or 1.02% of total assets as previously reported. This adjustment is not expected to affect prior quarters.
The increase in the allowance for loan losses arises out of a recent examination conducted by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") at one of the Company's wholly owned banking subsidiaries, HomeTown Bank of Villa Rica, and relates primarily to several loan relationships originated by the president of that bank in which it is apparent that this officer did not follow numerous bank loan policies and procedures, including loan approval authorities, collateral requirements, inadequate documentation, and other underwriting guidelines. This officer is no longer employed by the bank. Management, along with the assistance of its external loan reviewer, has conducted a review of all loans within this officer's portfolio and does not expect further significant adjustments or reclassifications to the loan portfolio. Management has also consulted with the FDIC following the conclusion of its examination regarding its recommendations as to the appropriate amount for the increase in the reserve. The Company is also conducting an investigation into the facts surrounding the violations of these loan policies.
The Company is actively pursuing several courses of action to improve its position on the impaired loans and to mitigate any actual losses on these loans. However, it is currently too early to determine the success of these actions.
As previously reported, the Company has been engaged in an ongoing process of tightening its internal controls and implementing more stringent credit administration policies. As a result of its discovery of these actions, the Company will further enhance its controls by centralizing its approval policies and loan documentation processes at the holding company level to ensure that similar incidents do not occur.
To date, the Company has not incurred any material out-of-pocket expenditures (including legal, accounting and external loan review fees) in connection with the resolution of the matters described above. The actual amount of such expenditures in the future could vary, depending on the length of time and number of hours of professional assistance required to fully resolve the matters, the nature of the proceedings in which the matters are resolved, and other factors that cannot be precisely estimated at this time.
Forward-Looking Statements
Some of the statements in this press release, including, without limitation, statements regarding the expected impairment in connection with the increase in the loan loss reserves and the expected effects of the impairment on the Company's financial results, the Company's ability to recover on the impaired loans, the results of the Company's review of the officer's loan portfolio, and the enhancement of the Company's internal controls and credit administration policies are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the federal securities laws. In addition, when we use words like "anticipate," "believe," "intend," "expect," "estimate," "could," "should," "plan," "will," and similar expressions, you should consider them as identifying forward-looking statements, although we may use other phrasing. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties and are based on our current beliefs and assumptions. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements include estimates as to the value of collateral securing these impaired loans, the financial circumstances and business prospects of the borrowers on these impaired loans as well as the following factors which affect our business more generally: (1) competitive pressures among depository and other financial institutions may increase significantly; (2) changes in the interest rate environment may reduce margins or the volumes or values of loans held or made by us; (3) general economic conditions may be less favorable than expected (both generally and in our markets), resulting in, among other things, a deterioration in credit quality and/or a reduction in demand for credit; (4) economic, governmental or other factors may prevent the projected population and commercial growth in the counties in which we operate; (5) legislative or regulatory changes, including changes in accounting standards, may adversely affect the businesses in which we are engaged; (6) costs or difficulties related to the integration of our businesses may be greater than expected; (7) deposit attrition, customer loss or revenue loss following the acquisitions may be greater than expected; (8) competitors may have greater financial resources and develop products that enable such competitors to compete more successfully than us; (9) adverse changes may occur in the equity markets, and other risks and factors identified in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. Many of these factors are beyond our ability to control or predict, and readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. We disclaim any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements contained in this release.
