Capital Bank Corporation Announces Financial Results for the Second Quarter of 2012


RALEIGH, NC--(Marketwire - Aug 8, 2012) - Capital Bank Corporation (the "Company") (NASDAQ: CBKN), a majority-owned subsidiary of Capital Bank Financial Corp. ("CBF," formerly known as North American Financial Holdings, Inc.), today reported financial results for the second quarter of 2012. Operating and financial highlights include the following:

  • Net income totaled $2.6 million, or $0.03 per share, in the second quarter of 2012 and totaled $5.4 million, or $0.06 per share, in the six months ended June 30, 2012;

  • The Company held a 26% ownership interest in Capital Bank, NA, which has $6.3 billion in assets and operates 143 branches in Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia; and

  • The Company increased the equity investment balance in Capital Bank, NA by $2.9 million based on its equity in Capital Bank, NA's net income and increased the equity investment balance by $1.5 million based on its equity in Capital Bank, NA's other comprehensive income in the second quarter of 2012.

"Our team has been working hard in planning for the pending acquisition of Southern Community Financial Corp. While shareholder and regulatory approvals are still pending, Southern Community will expand the Bank's franchise throughout North Carolina, where we see significant growth opportunities. Our recent renegotiation of the investment agreement to change the consideration mix to 100% cash represents our continued commitment to this strategic complement to our organization and eliminates obstacles on the road to a successful merger," stated Gene Taylor, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and Capital Bank.

"Our strongest quarter to date for organic loan production, successes in resolution of problem assets and continued aggressive deposit repricing resulted in continued improvement in the Bank's loan mix, net interest margin and profitability. The consolidation of certain duplicative functions during the second quarter is expected to result in further improvement of our efficiency ratio and our overall returns," commented Chris Marshall, Chief Financial Officer of the Company and Capital Bank.

Equity Method Investment in Capital Bank, NA

On June 30, 2011, Capital Bank, formerly a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("Old Capital Bank"), merged with and into NAFH National Bank, a national banking association, with NAFH National Bank as the surviving entity (the "Bank Merger"). In connection with the Bank Merger, NAFH National Bank changed its name to Capital Bank, NA. On September 7, 2011, CBF acquired a controlling interest in Green Bankshares and merged its banking subsidiary, GreenBank, with and into Capital Bank, NA. Following the GreenBank merger, Capital Bank, NA is now owned by the Company, CBF, TIB Financial Corp. ("TIB Financial") and Green Bankshares. CBF is the owner of approximately 83% of the Company's common stock, approximately 94% of TIB Financial's common stock and approximately 90% of Green Bankshares' common stock. Previously, on April 29, 2011, Capital Bank, NA merged with TIB Bank, then a wholly-owned subsidiary of TIB Financial.

The Bank Merger occurred pursuant to the terms of an Agreement of Merger entered into by and between Old Capital Bank and Capital Bank, NA, dated as of June 30, 2011. In the Bank Merger, each share of Old Capital Bank common stock was converted into the right to receive shares of Capital Bank, NA common stock based on each entity's relative tangible book value on March 31, 2011. Following the GreenBank merger, the Company now owns approximately 26% of Capital Bank, NA, with CBF having a direct ownership of 19%, TIB Financial owning 21%, and Green Bankshares owning the remaining 34%.

The Bank Merger, the preceding merger of TIB Bank and Capital Bank, NA, and the succeeding merger of GreenBank and Capital Bank, NA were restructuring transactions between commonly-controlled entities. At the time of the Bank Merger, due to the deconsolidation of Old Capital Bank, the balance of accumulated other comprehensive income was reclassified to common stock within shareholders' equity. Immediately following the Bank Merger, on June 30, 2011, CBF, the Company and TIB Financial made cash contributions of additional capital to Capital Bank, NA of $4.7 million, $6.1 million and $5.2 million, respectively, in proportion to their respective ownership interests in Capital Bank, NA. On September 30, 2011, the Company made a $10.0 million contribution of additional capital to Capital Bank, NA in exchange for additional shares of Capital Bank, NA. These capital contributions were made to provide additional capital support for the general business operations of Capital Bank, NA. As of June 30, 2012, Capital Bank, NA operated 143 branches in Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia and had total assets of $6.3 billion, total deposits of $5.1 billion and shareholders' equity of $966.5 million.

The Company reports its investment in Capital Bank, NA on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as an equity method investment in that entity. As of June 30, 2012, the Company's investment in Capital Bank, NA totaled $250.6 million, which reflected the Company's pro rata ownership of Capital Bank, NA's total shareholders' equity. The Company also had an advance to Capital Bank, NA totaling $3.4 million as of June 30, 2012. In the second quarter of 2012, the Company increased the equity investment balance by $2.9 million based on its equity in Capital Bank, NA's net income and increased the equity investment balance by $1.5 million based on its equity in Capital Bank, NA's other comprehensive income.

In the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company increased the equity investment balance by $6.0 million based on its equity in Capital Bank, NA's net income and increased the equity investment balance by $921 thousand based on its equity in Capital Bank, NA's other comprehensive income.

Potential Merger of the Company and CBF

On September 1, 2011, the Boards of Directors of CBF and the Company approved and adopted a merger agreement. The merger agreement provides for the merger, following the receipt of shareholder approval by the Company's shareholders (including CBF), of the Company with and into CBF, with CBF continuing as the surviving entity. In the merger, each share of the Company's common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the completion of the merger, except for shares for which appraisal rights are properly exercised and certain shares held by CBF or the Company, will be converted into the right to receive 0.1354 of a share of CBF Class A common stock. No fractional shares of Class A common stock will be issued in connection with the merger, and holders of the Company's common stock will be entitled to receive cash in lieu thereof.

Since CBF is the majority shareholder of the Company, CBF will be able to determine the outcome of the shareholder vote needed to approve the merger.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income in the second quarter of 2012 was significantly impacted by the Bank Merger, upon which Old Capital Bank's earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities were deconsolidated from the Company. Following the Bank Merger on June 30, 2011, the Company's interest-bearing liabilities, which consisted of subordinated debentures, significantly exceeded interest-earning assets, thus creating net interest loss and a negative net interest margin. Net interest income (loss) for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 (Successor) and the quarter ended June 30, 2011 (Successor) totaled ($284) thousand and $15.4 million, respectively. Net interest margin decreased from 4.23% in the quarter ended June 30, 2011 (Successor) to (33.57)% in the quarter ended June 30, 2012 (Successor).

Further, net interest income (loss) for the six months ended June 30, 2012 (Successor), the period of January 29 to June 30, 2011 (Successor) and the period of January 1 to January 28, 2011 (Predecessor) totaled ($561) thousand, $25.5 million and $4.0 million, respectively. The Company's net interest margin increased from 3.09% in the period of January 1 to January 28, 2011 (Predecessor) to 4.23% for the period of January 29 to June 30, 2011 (Successor), and decreased to (33.16)% for the six months ended June 30, 2012 (Successor) primarily due to the CBF Investment and Bank Merger, respectively. Average interest-earning assets decreased from $1.54 billion in the period of January 1 to January 28, 2011 (Predecessor) to $1.49 billion in the period of January 29 to June 30, 2011 (Successor) and to $3.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2012 (Successor). The decline in average interest-earning assets in the successor period was primarily related to the Bank Merger, upon which Old Capital Bank's interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities were deconsolidated from the Company. As of June 30, 2012 (Successor), the Company's only interest-earning asset was a $3.4 million advance to Capital Bank, NA.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 (Successor) and the quarter ended June 30, 2011 (Successor) totaled $2.9 million and $2.1 million, respectively. Noninterest income in the second quarter of 2012 was solely related to the Company's equity income from its investment in Capital Bank, NA.

Further, noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 2012 (Successor), the period of January 29 to June 30, 2011 (Successor) and the period of January 1 to January 28, 2011 (Predecessor) totaled $6.0 million, $3.3 million and $832 thousand, respectively. Noninterest income in the first half of 2012 was solely related to the Company's equity income from its investment in Capital Bank, NA.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 (Successor) and the quarter ended June 30, 2011 (Successor) totaled $257 thousand and $12.8 million, respectively. Expenses in the second quarter of 2012 were significantly reduced by the Bank Merger and related deconsolidation of Old Capital Bank.

Further, noninterest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2012 (Successor), the period from January 29 to June 30, 2011 (Successor) and the period from January 1 to January 28, 2011 (Predecessor) totaled $414 thousand, $25.0 million and $4.2 million, respectively. Expenses in the first half of 2012 were significantly reduced by the Bank Merger and related deconsolidation of Old Capital Bank. Additionally, expenses in the period from January 29 to June 30, 2011 (Successor) were impacted by $4.0 million of contract termination fees related to the conversion and integration of the Company's operations onto a common technology platform utilized across the CBF enterprise. Salaries and benefits expense increased in the period from January 29 to June 30, 2011 (Successor) from the accelerated vesting of stock options and restricted shares at closing of the CBF Investment.
