Stonegate Bank (
Income and Expenses:
Total interest income increased from $7.3 million in the second quarter of 2010 to $9.3 million in the second quarter of 2011. This $2.0 million increase is largely due to an increase of $207 million in total loans. Total interest expense remained flat in the second quarter. This expense remained flat notwithstanding the addition of $240 million in deposits. This resulted in net interest income improvement from $5.2 million in the second quarter of 2010 to $7.3 million in the second quarter of 2011. Total non-interest income increased from $887,000 in the second quarter of 2010 to $15.3 million in the second quarter of 2011. Included in this number was a one-time bargain purchase gain of $14.9 million associated with the acquisition of First Commercial Bank of Tampa Bay. Non-interest expense increased from $2.5 million for the second quarter of 2010 to $7.1 million for the second quarter of 2011. The larger than normal number is directly related to the conversion of Southwest Capital Bank as well as the acquisition of First Commercial Bank of Tampa Bay.
Margin and Cost of Funds:
Total cost of funds declined from 1.72% for the June 2010 month to date average to 1.22% for the June 2011 month to date average. Stonegate Bank's net interest margin increased from a June 2010 month to date average of 3.9% to June 2011 month to date average of 4.02%. The Bank's liquidity was significantly increased due to the acquisition of First Commercial Bank of Tampa Bay resulting in the modest increase in the net interest margin.
Balance Sheet and Capital:
Total assets grew from $578 million on June 30, 2010 to $839 million on June 30, 2011, a $261 million increase. Total loans increased $207 million from $368 million on June 30, 2010 to $575 million on June 30, 2011. Total deposits increased $240 million from $430 million on June 30, 2010 to $670 million on June 30, 2011. Approximately 12.5% of total deposits are non-interest bearing. Traditional brokered deposits were $6.1 million on June 30, 2011. Total capital grew from $94.0 million on June 30, 2010 to $112 million on June 30, 2011. This resulted in an undiluted book value of $13.57 per share on June 30, 2011.

Management has made certain estimates concerning values based on initial valuations.

The loan quality detail is presented by showing the legacy Stonegate portfolio as well as the Bank's recent FDIC acquisition. This was done in order to provide additional clarity on the legacy portfolio trends. The Bank's legacy non-performing assets decreased from $8.4 million on March 31, 2011 to $6.7 million on June 30, 2011. Approximately 12% of the NPAs are Southwest Capital Bank loans and are covered by a separate $2.8 million contingent payment account that will be reduced by any loan or REO losses incurred for the first 3 years. Overall, legacy non-performing assets represent 1.28% of total legacy loans. The acquisition of First Commercial Bank of Tampa Bay on June 17th increased total non-performing loans to $13.6 million. This represents 1.6% of total assets and 2.3% of total loans on June 30, 2011.
Management believes all non-performing assets and REO are written down to fair market value. Real estate owned in the legacy portfolio increased slightly from $6.1 million on March 31, 2011 to $6.9 million on June 30, 2011. Approximately 27% of the legacy REO is covered under the Southwest Capital Bank contingent payment account outlined above. Overall, $3.1 million is currently under contract and is expected to close in the 3rd and 4th quarter of 2011. Total REO increased to $8.2 million with the acquisition of First Commercial Bank of Tampa Bay.
The Bank's loan loss reserve was $11.2 million on June 30, 2011. This reserve represents 83% of all non-performing loans and 1.96% of total loans. Total loans past due more than 30 days decreased from $1.3 million on March 31, 2011 to $1.1 million on June 30, 2011. Total legacy loans past due more than 30 days were $113,000 on June 30, 2011.
Management Comments:
According to David Seleski, President and CEO of Stonegate, "Our second quarter performance was over-shadowed by the completion of the First Commercial Bank of Tampa Bay FDIC-assisted transaction. This was an excellent transaction for three reasons. First, Stonegate realized a large bargain purchase gain which significantly increased our earnings per share this quarter. Second, this acquisition allows Stonegate to enter one of the larger MSAs in Florida without the start-up costs of a de novo office. Third, the Bank has hired Wade Faircloth, a veteran Tampa banker, as the President of Hillsborough and Pinellas Counties to lead our business development efforts. I feel very strongly this is going to be a growth market for Stonegate in the coming years.
"On the other hand, there was an increase in non-performing loans and REO in the second quarter that was attributable to the acquisition of First Commercial Bank of Tampa Bay. We did not enter into a loss share agreement with the FDIC, however we did make a fair market value adjustment to the loan portfolio and REO of over $17 million. This is significant given the size of the portfolio. From a credit perspective Stonegate will have slightly higher NPAs and REOs over the next few quarters until there is resolution to these acquired assets. The situation is reminiscent of October 2009 when the Bank acquired Partners and Hillcrest Banks without loss share. Each succeeding quarter we were able to reduce these balances in an orderly fashion that maximized shareholder return. I anticipate the same resolution with the acquired problem assets of First Commercial Bank of Tampa Bay.
"We continue to experience organic growth both in terms of deposits and loans in all of our markets. Total organic loan growth for the first six months of the year was $28 million and total new loan production was about $90 million. I mentioned last quarter that we were seeing improvement in the overall economy and the latest housing numbers in most of our markets validate that there is a recovery in that sector. Our belief is that the worst is over for most of our markets and there will be significant opportunities to grow organically in the coming quarters," said Seleski.
