MIDLOTHIAN, Va., April 1, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bank of Virginia (Nasdaq:BOVA) (www.bankofva.com), has announced financial results for the year ended December 31, 2010.
For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Bank reported a net loss of $9.2 million, or ($1.85) per share, compared with a net loss of $4.2 million or ($1.39) per share for the year ended December 31, 2009. The loss primarily occurred as a result of a considerable increase in the provision for loan losses from the 2009 amount of $4.5 million to $9.0 million in 2010. Further deterioration in the quality of the Bank's loan portfolio combined with a fourth quarter enhancement of procedures for earlier identification of problem loans led to the additional charges. The Bank improved its net interest income by $287,000, or 4.7%, to $6.4 million in 2010, compared to $6.1 million in 2009. The net interest margin for 2010 improved to 3.09% from 2.88% in 2009. The improvement in net interest margin was the result of repricing our interest-bearing liabilities lower by 76 basis points, while the pricing on interest-earning assets was reduced by 48 basis points from 2009.
Review of the balance sheet
The Bank's total assets decreased $12.4 million, or 5.6%, to $209.2 million at December 31, 2010 from December 31, 2009's total of $221.6 million. The main driver behind the reduction of assets was the $26.6 million, or 16%, decline in net loans from $166.3 million in 2009 to $139.7 million in 2010. The decline in loan balances was attributable to loan charge-offs and pay downs in the absence of significant new lending. The Bank was restricted from loan portfolio growth under the terms of its Written Agreement with banking regulators. Offsetting that reduction in loans was an increase of cash and cash equivalents to $25.7 million from $8.1 million, an increase of $17.6 million, or 217.3%. On the liability side of the balance sheet, total deposits were $181.2 million at December 31, 2010, down from $193.1 million at year end 2009, a drop of $11.9 million, or 6.2%. The Bank did not renew certain higher costing time deposits in 2010, thereby reducing its costs of funds. Time deposits balances fell $8.0 million from $148.2 million at December 31, 2009 to $140.2 million at December 31, 2010. Total liabilities were $192.2 million and $204.4 million at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
The Bank's total capital at December 31, 2010 was $17.0 million compared to $17.2 million at December 31, 2009. In December 2010, the Bank restored its well-capitalized status according to regulatory guidelines. The Bank's capital ratios at December 31, 2010 were as follows: tier one leverage capital of 7.9%, tier one risked based capital of 10.9%, and total risked based capital of 12.2%. The Bank closed an equity transaction on December 10, 2010, with Cordia Bancorp, which infused $9.6 million in new net capital, making the Bank a majority-owned subsidiary of Cordia Bancorp.
Recent Changes
In December 2010, the Bank enhanced its board oversight through the appointment of six new directors in conjunction with the Cordia transaction. Furthermore, Jack Zoeller was appointed Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer and Nancy Corsiglia, Chief Financial Officer, further strengthening the management and operations of the Bank.
Highlights of 2011 Strategic Plan
In early 2011, the Bank developed a realignment plan for its loan quality and service and delivery system. The major components of the plan are as follows: reduction of full time equivalent staff, Saturday closure of a low traffic retail location, closure of a full–service branch located in close proximity to the Bank's main office, as well as the hiring new senior credit and lending staff.
"We have made significant improvements to manage the asset quality issues caused by the current credit cycle and continue to take a very conservative approach to lending. Although the negative results were expected, they do create a great opportunity for the Bank, especially with the additional resources and talent we have added to our Board of Directors and Senior Management team. Moreover, the additional capital from Cordia provides a foundation for repositioning the Bank and returning it to long-term profitability," said Jack Zoeller, Chairman and CEO.
