CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., Oct. 21, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- StellarOne Corporation (Nasdaq: STEL ) ("StellarOne"), today reported third quarter 2013 net income of $6.3 million, or $0.28 net income per diluted common share. This represents a 13.1% increase over net income of $5.6 million or $0.24 per diluted common share recognized during the same quarter in the prior year, and remained constant as compared to net income of $6.3 million or $0.28 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2013.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, earnings were $18.5 million or $0.81 per diluted common share, up 16.2% compared to $15.9 million or $0.69 per diluted common share in 2012.
"Our third quarter results were indicative of continued positive momentum with improving asset quality measures, solid loan growth, expense management and stable revenues. As expected, mortgage revenues were impacted by a significant drop in refinance activity during the quarter. However, construction and purchase mortgage activity continue to be robust. Commercial loan growth and associated balance sheet growth mitigated the impact of the mortgage revenue contraction during the quarter. Asset quality measures continued to show incremental improvement, allowing for a continued reduction in loan loss provisioning expense for the quarter," said O. R. Barham, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer.
On June 10, 2013 StellarOne announced that it will merge with Union First Market Bankshares Corporation (Nasdaq: UBSH ) (or "Union"), creating the largest community banking institution in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Under the terms of the agreement, Union will acquire StellarOne, with common shareholders of StellarOne receiving 0.9739 shares of Union common stock for each share of StellarOne. The transaction has received all regulatory approvals, but is subject to shareholder approvals with expected closing on or around January 1, 2014.
Third quarter financial performance highlights included:
- Earnings were impacted by $586 thousand in merger related expenses for the quarter associated with the announced merger with Union.
- Operating earnings for the quarter, excluding the impact of such merger costs, were $6.9 million or $0.30 per diluted share and the ROA and ROE associated with operating earnings were 0.89% and 6.38% or up from 0.74% and 5.21% when compared to the third quarter of 2012, respectively.
- Revenues remained stable, with net revenues totaling $32.0 million, up $300 thousand or 0.95% as compared to $31.7 million for third quarter last year.
- Total period end loans increased 10.2% compared to the third quarter of 2012 and 3.7% compared to the second quarter of 2013 due primarily to loan growth in the construction and commercial real estate portfolios.
- Nonperforming asset levels improved to $30.4 million, a decrease of $12.7 million or 29.4% from 2012, lowering the ratio of non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets to 0.99% as of September 30, 2013, compared to 1.46% as of September 30, 2012.
- Annualized net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans receivable amounted to 0.31% for the third quarter of 2013, up from 0.24% for the second quarter of 2013 and down from 0.42% for same quarter last year.
Growth in Average Earning Assets Supports Revenue Levels
Net interest income for the third quarter of 2013 was $24.8 million, up 2.2% compared to $24.3 million in the second quarter of 2013 and consistent with the $24.3 million for the third quarter of 2012. Average earning assets were $2.7 billion for the third quarter of 2013, up $53.2 million or 2.0% over the second quarter of 2013, and up $93.1 million or 3.5% over the third quarter of 2012. Average loans receivable were $2.3 billion for the third quarter of 2013, up $71.9 million or 3.3% over the second quarter of 2013, and up $186.9 million or 9.0% over the third quarter of 2012.
The net interest margin was 3.70% for the third quarter of 2013, compared to 3.73% for the second quarter of 2013 and 3.77% for the third quarter of 2012. The average yield on earning assets for the current quarter decreased 7 basis points to 4.20% on a sequential basis. Loan and investment yields contracted 10 basis points and 4 basis points, respectively, on a sequential basis. Continued reductions in deposit costs contributed to a 3 basis point improvement in the cost of interest bearing liabilities sequentially, moving from 0.66% during the second quarter of 2013 to 0.63% during the third quarter of 2013.
Operating Noninterest Income Decreases on Mortgage Contraction
On an operating basis, which excludes gains and losses from sales and impairments of securities and other assets, total non-interest income amounted to $7.2 million for the third quarter of 2013, down $642 thousand or 8.2% on a sequential basis compared to $7.8 million for the second quarter of 2013, and down $177 thousand or 2.4% compared to the third quarter last year. The sequential quarter decrease in operating noninterest income stemmed largely from a reduction in mortgage revenues associated with reduced margins and loan production volumes from our mortgage segment. The decrease for the same quarter compared to the prior year is also related to a reduction in mortgage revenues which was substantially offset by increases in wealth management fee income and retail banking fees.
Mortgage banking-related fees totaled $1.3 million for the third quarter of 2013, or down $601 thousand or 31.2% compared to $1.9 million for the second quarter of 2013 and down $538 thousand, or 28.9%, compared to $1.9 million in the same quarter in 2012. Of total mortgage originations for the quarter, 53.6% represented home purchases. Loans sold in the third quarter of 2013 totaled $73.5 million or down $1.2 million or 1.7% from the $74.7 million sold during the second quarter of 2013. The mortgage segment contributed after-tax earnings of $414 thousand for the current quarter, compared to $701 thousand last quarter, and $587 thousand for same quarter last year.
Losses on foreclosed assets were $285 thousand for the quarter, a decrease of $96 thousand or 25.2% compared to $381 thousand for the same quarter in 2012. Other operating income decreased $71 thousand compared to the same quarter in the prior year due to a contraction of revenues associated with commercial lending loan swap fee income.
Retail banking fee income totaled $3.5 million for the third quarter of 2013, an increase of $80 thousand or 2.3% sequentially and an increase of $326 thousand or 10.2% over the same quarter in 2012. An increase in overdraft revenue led to the sequential increase, while an increase in interchange income and newly instituted fees contributed to the year over year increase.
Wealth management revenues from trust and brokerage fees for the third quarter of 2013 were $1.3 million or down $76 thousand or 5.5% on a sequential quarter basis and up $141 thousand or 12.0% when compared to the third quarter of 2012. The revenue increase year over year is a result of higher fee realizations and growth in assets. The sequential quarter decrease is related to lower fee realizations from brokerage services. Fiduciary assets amounted to $538.3 million at September 30, 2013, compared to $539.7 million at June 30, 2013. After-tax earnings were $219 thousand for the quarter, compared to $271 thousand sequentially and $166 thousand for the same quarter last year.
Net Charge-Offs Decrease and Overall Asset Quality Improves
Non-performing assets totaled $30.4 million at September 30, 2013, up $228 thousand or 0.8% sequentially from $30.2 million at June 30, 2013 and down $12.7 million or 29.4% compared to $43.1 million at September 30, 2012. The ratio of non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets dropped to 0.99% as of September 30, 2013, compared to 1.0% as of June 30, 2013 and was also down when compared to 1.46% at September 30, 2012.
Net charge-offs for the third quarter of 2013 totaled $1.7 million, increased $440 thousand or 33.9% compared to the $1.3 million for the second quarter of 2013 and down $443 million or 20.3% when compared to $2.2 million for the third quarter of 2012. Annualized net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans receivable amounted to 0.31% for the third quarter of 2013, up from 0.24% for the second quarter of 2013 and down from 0.42% for the third quarter of 2012. StellarOne recorded provision for loan losses of $200 thousand for the third quarter of 2013, an increase of $585 thousand compared to the $385 thousand recovery of provision for the second quarter of 2013 and a decrease of $1.7 million compared to the third quarter of 2012. The decreased provisioning throughout 2013 is reflective of the continued improvement in underlying credit quality metrics used in measuring the risk inherent in the loan portfolio.
The allowance as a percentage of non-performing loans was 99.5% at September 30, 2013, or slightly lower than the 104.9% at June 30, 2013. The allowance for loan losses was $25.8 million at September 30, 2013, compared to $27.4 million at June 30, 2013. The allowance as a percentage of total loans was 1.14% at September 30, 2013, compared to 1.25% at June 30, 2013.
Foreclosed assets totaled $4.4 million at September 30, 2013, up $354 thousand or 8.6% compared to $4.1 million at June 30, 2013 and down $3.5 million or 43.7% compared to $7.9 million at September 30, 2012.
Included in the loan portfolio at September 30, 2013, are loans classified as troubled debt restructurings ("TDRs") totaling $19.2 million or 0.85% of total loans. TDRs were reduced sequentially by 6.8% or $1.4 million as compared to $20.6 million at June 30, 2013. At September 30, 2013, $17.8 million or 93.0% of total TDRs were performing under the modified terms.
Operating Expenses Increase on Merger Costs
Noninterest expenses were $22.8 million for the third quarter of 2013, down sequentially by $432 thousand or 1.9% compared to $23.3 million in the second quarter of 2013, and up $532 thousand or 2.4% compared to third quarter of 2012.
Excluding the effects of non-recurring merger costs of $586 thousand in third quarter 2013 and $871 thousand in second quarter 2013, operating expenses would have been $22.2 million for the third quarter of 2013, down $147 thousand or 0.7% sequentially, and down $54 thousand or 0.2% compared to same quarter last year. Compensation and benefits were $11.8 million for the third quarter of 2013, down sequentially by $167 thousand or 1.4% compared to $12.0 million in the second quarter of 2013, and down $376 thousand or 3.1% compared to third quarter of 2012. The decrease sequentially was attributable to a reduction in salary and overtime costs and ongoing efficiency efforts. The decrease relative to 2012 was related to a $416 thousand decrease in VBA medical costs when compared to the third quarter of 2012.
The efficiency ratio was 66.49% for the third quarter of 2013, compared to 66.81% for the second quarter of 2013 and 66.66% for the same quarter in 2012. The sequential quarter improvement reflects stable revenue for the quarter coupled with lower operating expenses. The year over year decrease reflects similar trends on revenue and operating expenses, but also reflects the impact of severance costs on the third quarter 2012 efficiency ratio.
Effective Tax Rate
The provision for income taxes was $2.7 million for the third quarter of 2013 compared to $2.9 million for the second quarter of 2013, and $2.0 million for the same quarter last year. This produced an effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2013 of 30.0% compared to 31.6% for the prior quarter and 26.0% for same quarter last year. The increase in the tax rate as compared to prior year effective tax rates was due to the impact of $413 thousand of nondeductible expenses included in merger costs incurred during the quarter. Merger costs were higher in the sequential quarter, accounting for the higher effective rate. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 the effective rate was 29.8%, compared to 26.8% for same period prior year.
Balance Sheet Trends
Period end loans increased $81.3 million sequentially or 3.7% compared to the second quarter of 2013, while average loans for the third quarter of 2013 were $2.3 billion, up $71.9 million or 3.3% compared to the second quarter of 2013. Average securities were $476.9 million for the third quarter, down $10.8 million or 2.2% sequentially and down $71.4 million or 13.0% from $548.3 million for the third quarter of 2012. Average deposits for the third quarter of 2013 were $2.4 billion or essentially flat on a sequential quarter basis compared to the second quarter of 2013. Average interest and noninterest bearing demand deposit accounts were $1.03 billion at September 30, 2013, a $22.7 million or a 2.3% increase over June 30, 2013. At September 30, 2013, total period end assets were $3.1 billion, compared to $3.0 billion at June 30, 2013. Period end cash and cash equivalents were $54.2 million at September 30, 2013, an increase of $2.5 million or 4.9% compared to $51.7 million at June 30, 2013.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This report refers to the efficiency ratio, which is computed by calculating noninterest expense less amortization of intangibles and goodwill impairments and dividing this by the sum of net interest income on a tax equivalent basis and non-interest income excluding gains on securities and losses on foreclosed assets. The report also refers to operating earnings and noninterest income, which reflects both earnings and noninterest income adjusted for non-recurring expenses associated with merger expenses, asset gains and losses or other expenses that are unusual in nature. Comparison of our efficiency ratio and operating earnings with those of other companies may not be possible because other companies may calculate them differently. Pre-tax, pre-provision earnings, which adjusts for tax equivalent items and adds back provision and tax expense to net income, is used to demonstrate a more representative comparison of operational performance without the volatility of credit quality that is typically present in times of economic stress. The tangible common equity ratio is used by management to assess the quality of capital and management believes that investors may find it useful in their analysis of the company. This capital measure is not necessarily comparable to similar capital measures that may be presented by other companies. Such information is not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") and should not be construed as such. These are non-GAAP financial measures that management believes provide investors with important information regarding operational efficiency. Management believes such financial information is meaningful to the reader in understanding operating performance, but cautions that such information should not be viewed as a substitute for GAAP. StellarOne, in referring to its net income, is referring to income under GAAP.
