MIDLOTHIAN, Va., March 30, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bank of Virginia (Nasdaq:BOVA) (www.bankofva.com) announced financial results for the year ended December 31, 2011.
For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Bank reported a net loss of $4.5 million, or ($0.39) per share, an improvement of $4.7 million when compared to the loss of $9.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. The loss in 2011 was primarily a result of a $2.7 million provision for loan losses recorded in the first three quarters and a $1.3 million decline in net interest income due to a winnowing of the loan portfolio while the Bank's new credit team was put in place.
"The Bank undertook a complete revamping in 2011, recruiting new executives to head credit, lending, finance and operations," stated Jack Zoeller, Chairman and CEO. "Our primary goals were to identify and address the Bank's asset quality issues and establish a new culture oriented to shareholder value. These objectives have been met. In the fourth quarter we turned our focus to restoring the Bank's profitability. We launched a $40 million local business loan campaign, hired two new commercial lenders, and realigned our marketing and technology resources to better target and serve the Bank's business borrowers," continued Mr. Zoeller.
Review of the income statement
The Bank's net interest income decreased by $1.3 million, or 20%, to $5.1 million in 2011, compared to $6.4 million in 2010, mainly due to the declining loan balances in 2011. The Bank's net interest margin for 2011 also declined, decreasing 22 basis points to 2.87% from 3.09% in 2010. The decline in net interest margin was primarily the result of a decrease of $28.3 million in average loans, from $155.9 million in 2010 to $127.6 million in 2011.
Non-interest income declined $365,000 to $492,000 in 2011 from $857,000 in 2010, mainly due to lower net gains realized on available-for-sale securities, which declined $415,000 from $544,000 in 2010 to $129,000 in 2011. Non-interest expense totaled $7.3 million for 2011, a slight decline from $7.4 million in 2010.
Review of the balance sheet
The Bank's total assets decreased $43.7 million, or 20.9%, to $165.5 million at December 31, 2011 from December 31, 2010's total of $209.2 million. The main element in the reduction of assets was the $36.2 million, or 24.7%, decline in loans from $146.6 million at December 31, 2010 to $110.3 million at December 31, 2010. The decline in loan balances was attributable to loan pay downs, charge-offs and transfers to other real estate owned in the absence of significant new lending, as new management and lenders focused on addressing asset quality issues and regulatory demands. Securities available for sale declined $9.4 million or 26.8% to $25.6 million at December 31, 2011 from $35 million at December 31, 2010.
On the liability side of the balance sheet, total deposits were $147.2 million at December 31, 2011, down from $181.2 million at year end 2010, a drop of $34 million, or 18.8%. Time deposits balances fell $39.5 million from $140.2 million at December 31, 2010 to $100.7 million at December 31, 2011. The Bank paid off a maturing $5 million borrowing in October. These reductions in liabilities were intended to track with the Bank's decline in assets while reducing the average rates paid on deposits and other borrowings. Total liabilities were $152.8 million and $192.2 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Stockholders' equity totaled $12.7 million at December 31, 2011, a decline of $4.3 million when compared to the December 31, 2010 balance of $17 million. The Bank is considered well capitalized by federal regulatory standards.
