BELLINGHAM, Wash., Oct. 23, 2008 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Horizon Financial Corp. (Nasdaq:HRZB) today reported it remains well capitalized and set aside additional provisions for potential future loan losses in its fiscal second quarter ended September 30, 2008. In the quarter ended September 30, 2008, Horizon had a $12.0 million provision for loan losses, generating a net loss of $4.6 million, or $0.39 per share, compared to net income of $2.0 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 and net income of $4.9 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, for the fiscal second quarter a year ago. In the first six months of fiscal 2009, Horizon incurred a $15.0 million provision for loan losses, generating a net loss of $2.6 million, or $0.22 per share, compared to earnings $9.9 million, or $0.81 per diluted share, in the first half of fiscal 2008.
"Undoubtedly the current economic turmoil is the most unsettling time we have seen in recent memory, and we are feeling the effects of the local and regional economic slowdown," said Rich Jacobson, Chief Executive Officer. "We have been in the construction lending field now for the better part of a century and have extensive experience in dealing with economic cycles in the Northwest. We also have very long term expertise in construction lending and have established structures and procedures to manage our construction lending programs. It is also worth noting that our exposure is limited to our Northwestern Washington market area.
"We continue to have exposure to commercial construction and land development projects, and these are the areas hardest hit in our region, particularly those in Pierce, King and Snohomish counties," Jacobson continued. "Consequently, as our construction and development borrowers complete their build-out phase and enter the marketing phase of their projects, we anticipate additional loans may move into nonaccrual status in future periods if the housing market does not improve and that our other real estate owned will also increase. To address these issues, we significantly increased the second quarter loan loss provision, bringing reserves to net loans up to 2.06% from 1.48% a year ago. This is consistent with our historical approach to provisioning for loan losses. We've worked through these cycles before and believe that this level of reserves is necessary given the current economic uncertainties."

Capital Ratios, Liquidity and Credit Quality
Horizon Financial and Horizon Bank continue to be "well-capitalized" according to regulatory guidelines. On September 30, 2008 Horizon Financial reduced its quarterly cash dividend to $0.05 per share from $0.135 per share, acknowledging the importance of preserving capital in times of economic uncertainty. Liquidity remains strong with a solid mix of funding sources, including Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Reserve credit facilities, strong core deposits and a solid investment portfolio. "The extension of FDIC insurance to all noninterest bearing deposits and the increased limit to $250,000 from $100,000 is restoring consumer confidence in the national banking system and should allow us to further build our core deposits," said Dennis Joines, President and Chief Operating Officer.
Total nonperforming assets were $80.2 million, or 5.53% of total assets at September 30, 2008, up from $38.6 million, or 2.67% of total assets at June 30, 2008, and $731,000, or 0.05% of total assets at September 30, 2007. Nonperforming loans increased to $78.4 million, or 6.19% of gross loans at September 30, 2008, from $35.8 million, or 2.83% of gross loans at June 30, 2008, and $6,000, at September 30, 2007. The increase in nonperforming loans at September 30, 2008, is primarily a result of slower sales of new single family homes and significantly lower demand for land and developable lots in King, Pierce and Snohomish Counties. Included in the commercial construction nonperforming assets are $29.4 million in condominium construction projects, with the remainder of this category in speculative single family home construction projects. "Most of our construction projects are complete or near completion, because in most cases, we limit the number of homes a builder can have in process," said Joines. It's important to note that a certain level of losses related to these credits has already been recognized, through loan charge-offs, as current appraised values are compared to loan balances. In the quarter ended September 30, 2008, Horizon recognized $5.6 million in losses, net of recoveries, compared to $3.0 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2008 and $39,000 in the quarter ended September 30, 2007.
The following tables break out the loan portfolio and nonperforming assets by category and geography:

Other real estate owned (OREO) decreased by 33% to $1.9 million at September 30, 2008, compared to $2.8 million from the previous quarter, and from $725,000 at September 30, 2007 with the successful sale of four properties previously held as OREO.
"We are working with our borrowers and builders to sell inventory and to mitigate losses, at the same time we are pursuing deeds in lieu of foreclosure or other repossession options on certain distressed properties," said Joines. "By taking possession of collateral we gain control and can be more successful disposing of the properties."
Balance Sheet Review
Total assets were $1.45 billion at September 30, 2008 and June 30, 2008 compared to $1.35 billion at September 30, 2007. Net loans were relatively unchanged at $1.24 billion as of September 30, 2008, compared to $1.25 billion at June 30, 2008 and $1.15 billion at September 30, 2007. The loan mix continues to reflect the business banking focus of the lending team, with commercial real estate loans representing 67% of net loans, commercial business loans representing 16%, residential loans representing 12%, and consumer loans representing 5% of net loans, respectively. "Our focus remains squarely on managing credit quality. We are continuing to service our existing customer base to maintain the solid relationships we have developed over the years, and we are not aggressively pursuing material increases in business from new customers at this time as a result of our focus on remaining well-capitalized," noted Jacobson.
As we've indicated previously, we have no preferred shares of either Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae in the investment portfolio. During the quarter ended September 30, 2008, the Bank elected to take a redemption in-kind distribution for its $5 million investment in the AMF family of mutual funds, due to the continuing decline in the net asset value precipitated by the unprecedented disruption in the mortgage backed securities markets. In conjunction with this distribution, the Bank realized a $777,000 loss during the quarter ended September 30, 2008 for the securities distributed. "Because of the short-term duration of these securities, we felt it was appropriate to dispose of our interests in the mutual fund and allow these individual securities to pay down while under our control instead of staying in this particular mutual fund," said Jacobson.
Total deposits increased to $1.14 billion at September 30, 2008, compared to $1.10 billion at June 30, 2008 and $997.6 million at September 30, 2007. Transaction accounts totaled $338.8 million and accounted for 30% of total deposits at September 30, 2008, compared to $352.9 million at June 30, 2008, or 32% of total deposits and $390.6 million, or 39% of total deposits at September 30, 2007. Time deposits increased to $808.4 million at September 30, 2008 compared to $743.8 million at June 30, 2008 and $607.0 million at September 30, 2007. Brokered certificates of deposit increased to $235.5 million, or 21% of total deposits at September 30, 2008 compared to $153.8 million, or 14% of total deposits at June 30, 2008 and $68.6 million, or 7% of total deposits at September 30, 2007. "The increase in brokered CD's directly replaced other borrowings, providing enhanced liquidity and flexibility with a call feature on many of these deposits. With these call options in our favor, we have the ability to return many of these deposits in the event we no longer need this additional liquidity," said Jacobson.
Shareholders' equity decreased 4% to $122.2 million at September 30, 2008 compared to $127.4 million at June 30, 2008 and decreased 5% from $128.1 million at September 30, 2007. At September 30, 2008, Horizon's book value was $10.21 per share, compared to $10.69 per share at June 30, 2008 and $10.56 per share a year earlier, and its tangible book value was $10.15 per share compared to $10.63 per share at June 30, 2008 and $10.50 per share a year ago. Horizon reduced its quarterly cash dividend to $0.05 per share from $0.135 per share, acknowledging the importance of preserving capital in these times of economic uncertainty. The cash dividend will be paid on November 7, 2008, to shareholders of record at the close of business October 17, 2008. This payment is the 84th consecutive quarterly cash dividend and represents an annualized dividend yield in the 2.5% to 3.0% range based on recent stock price activity.
Review of Operations
Net revenues (net interest income plus non-interest income) were $12.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008, compared to $15.6 million for the comparable quarter in fiscal 2008. Interest income declined 20% to $20.8 million in the current quarter compared to $25.9 million for the year ago quarter. Contributing to this decline was $1.6 million in non-accrual interest related to the increase in non-accrual loans during the second quarter of fiscal 2009. The increase in non-performing assets, along with reductions in the prime lending rate compared to the prior year, have adversely impacted the current period interest income figures. Interest expense declined 18% in the current quarter to $9.8 million, from $11.9 million for the second quarter a year ago. Year to date, net revenues were $25.9 million a decrease from $30.7 million in the first six months of fiscal 2008.
The provision for loan losses was $12.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2009, $3.0 million in the immediate prior quarter and $800,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2008. Horizon recorded net charge offs of $5.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2008, compared to $3.0 million in the immediate prior quarter and $39,000 during the quarter ended September 30, 2007. The reserve for loan losses totaled $25.6 million, or 2.06% of net loans receivable at September 30, 2008, compared to $19.1 million, or 1.54% of net loans receivable at June 30, 2008 and $17.0 million, or 1.48% of net loans receivable at September 30, 2007.
Non-interest income was $1.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2009, compared to $1.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2008. The loss on the in-kind redemption of the AMF fund of $777,000 was partially offset by $767,000 in death benefits from a bank owned life insurance policy in the second quarter of fiscal 2009, included in other non-interest income. No additional securities held in the investment portfolio have been identified with similar exposure at this time. Year to date, non-interest income was $3.7 million compared to $3.3 million in the first six months of fiscal 2008.
Non-interest expense increased 9% to $8.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2009, from $7.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2008. The increase reflects a $335,000 loss on four OREO properties sold in the second quarter. Additional expenses relating to dealing with non-performing assets (including legal, appraisal and related fees) also contributed to this increase in non-interest expense. Management continues to work on reducing controllable expenses in the future.
The net interest margin was 3.26% in the second quarter of fiscal 2009, a decrease of 14 basis points from 3.40% in the immediate prior quarter and down 137 basis points from 4.63% in the same period a year ago. Year to date, the net interest margin was 3.33% down from 4.62% in the first half of fiscal 2008. The reversal of interest for non-accrual loans accounted for 51 basis points of the decline in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 and 38 basis points year to date.
The yield on earning assets was 6.20% in the second quarter of fiscal 2009, a decrease from 6.48% in the preceding quarter and 8.60% in the second quarter of fiscal 2008. In the second quarter of fiscal 2009, the cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 3.00%, compared to 3.18% in the preceding quarter and 4.10% for second quarter of fiscal 2008. In the first six months of fiscal 2009, the yield on earning assets was 6.34% down from 8.56% a year ago and the cost of interest bearing liabilities was 3.09% down from 4.08% a year ago.
