MidSouth Bancorp, Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2009 Earnings
 

LAFAYETTE, La., July 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- MidSouth Bancorp, Inc. (NYSE Amex: MSL) today reported net income available to common shareholders of $446,000 for the second quarter ended June 30, 2009, a decrease of $972,000 from net income of $1,418,000 reported for the second quarter of 2008 and $510,000 below net income available to common shareholders of $956,000 reported for the first quarter of 2009. Diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2009 were $0.07 per share, a decrease of 66.7% from the $0.21 per share for the second quarter of 2008 and 50.0% below the $0.14 per share for the first quarter of 2009. Beginning the first quarter of 2009, the Company recorded dividends on its Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A ("Series A Preferred Stock") issued to the U. S. Department of the Treasury on January 9, 2009 under the Capital Purchase Plan. Dividends recorded on the Series A Preferred Stock totaled $299,000 for the second quarter of 2009 and $277,000 for the first quarter of 2009.

For the six months ended June 30, 2009, net income available to common shareholders totaled $1,402,000, a 46.4% decrease from earnings of $2,617,000 for the first six months of 2008. Of the $1,215,000 decrease, $576,000 is related to dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock. Diluted earnings per share were $0.21 for the first six months of 2009, compared to $0.39 for the first six months of 2008.

The Company's total assets ended the second quarter of 2009 at $924.2 million, a 1.5% decrease over the $937.9 million in total assets recorded at June 30, 2008. Deposits were $762.7 million as of June 30, 2009, compared to $810.1 million on June 30, 2008, a decrease of $47.4 million, or 5.9%. The decrease in deposits resulted from a $69.4 million decline in money market deposits, primarily in oil-related commercial and industrial accounts, offset by a $20.4 million increase in interest-bearing checking accounts. The decline in money market deposits reflected the effect of normal fluctuations in commercial deposits, the movement of some deposits to higher competitive rates and a shift to secured repurchase agreements. The Company's securities sold under agreements to repurchase increased $8.6 million in prior year comparison, from $24.7 million at June 30, 2008 to $33.3 million at June 30, 2009.

Loans totaled $596.1 million at June 30, 2009, an increase of $29.0 million, or 5.1%, from $567.1 million as of June 30, 2008. Loan demand slowed in the first half of 2009, as commercial loan customers used cash flows to pay down debt and economic concerns continued to stem loan production in real estate credits.

Second quarter 2009 earnings were impacted by a $2.1 million provision recorded for loan losses, compared to $855,000 in the second quarter of 2008 and $1.0 million recorded in the first quarter of 2009. Deterioration in the performance of a $5.7 million national participation credit in the Company's Baton Rouge market prompted a $1.1 million charge-off on the credit in the second quarter of 2009 and an increase of $200,000 in specific reserves allocated to the credit within the Allowance for Loan Losses ("ALL"). The remainder of the $2.1 million provision covered approximately $430,000 in charged-off loans associated with another Baton Rouge credit relationship and $333,000 in other credits charged-off in the second quarter of 2009.

Quarterly revenues for the Company, defined as net interest income and non-interest income, increased $137,000, or 1.0%, for the second quarter of 2009 compared to the second quarter of 2008. The slight improvement in revenues resulted primarily from a $1,414,000 decrease in interest expense on deposits and borrowings, which was mostly offset by a $1,331,000 decrease in interest income on earning assets. Non-interest income increased $54,000 due to a $138,000 increase in ATM/debit card income that was partially offset by decreases in mortgage banking fees and income from a third party investment advisory firm. Non-interest expense increased $39,000 in prior year quarterly comparison, as expense reductions in several categories offset a $649,000 increase in FDIC premiums. During the second quarter of 2009, the Company accrued for a special assessment as required by the FDIC and also incurred an increase in the regular assessment rate.

Second quarter 2009 results were positively impacted by $197,000 in tax benefit compared to $277,000 in tax provisions recorded for the second quarter of 2008. The $197,000 in quarterly tax benefit resulted from lower pretax profits combined with sustained tax exempt income levels and certain federal tax credits.

In linked-quarter comparison, net earnings before dividends on Series A Preferred Stock decreased $488,000, primarily due to the $2.1 million provision for loan losses recorded in the second quarter of 2009 compared to the $1.0 million provision recorded for the first quarter of 2009. Net interest income decreased $204,000 as a $298,000 decline in interest income on earning assets was partially offset by a $94,000 reduction in interest expense. Interest income on investment securities and other interest earning assets declined in linked-quarter comparison by $193,000 primarily due to calls and maturities within the portfolio. Non-interest income increased $328,000 primarily due to a higher volume of insufficient funds transactions on deposit accounts and rental income on safe deposit boxes recorded in June of each year. Non-interest expense decreased $134,000 as decreases in several expense categories offset increased FDIC insurance premiums and Visa credit card and merchant program expenses.

C. R. "Rusty" Cloutier, President and Chief Executive Officer, commenting on second quarter of 2009 results noted, "While the second quarter's results were below our expectations, a few items need further comment. First, based on a new appraisal, we dealt with the loss exposure on our largest credit during the second quarter. Second, expense management was good as non-interest expense declined $134,000 versus the first quarter of 2009, despite an increase of $451,000 in FDIC premiums."

Asset Quality. Nonaccrual loans totaled $15.7 million as of June 30, 2009, compared to $2.4 million as of June 30, 2008. Of the $15.7 million, $12.9 million, or 82%, represents two large commercial real estate relationships in the Baton Rouge market. Loans totaling $974,000 were placed on nonaccrual during the second quarter of 2009, offsetting the reduction of $1.1 million charged-off on the national participation credit. Loans past due 90 days or more totaled $791,000 at June 30, 2009, an increase of $228,000 over the $563,000 at June 30, 2008 and a decrease of $459,000 from the $1,250,000 at March 31, 2009. The $1.1 million charge-off on the national participation credit and the $459,000 reduction in loans past due 90 days or more resulted in a decrease of $574,000 in total nonperforming assets in linked-quarter comparison. Total nonperforming assets to total assets were 1.89% for the second quarter of 2009, compared to 1.96% for the first quarter of 2009 and 0.37% for the second quarter of 2008.

Allowance coverage for nonperforming loans was 48.85% at June 30, 2009, compared to 214.47% at June 30, 2008. Annualized year-to-date charge-offs were 0.90% of total loans for the second quarter of 2009 compared to 0.44% for the second quarter of 2008. Management's most recent analysis of the ALL indicated that the ALL/total loans ratio of 1.35% was appropriate at June 30, 2009. The ALL/total loans ratio was 1.11% at June 30, 2008 and 1.31% at March 31, 2009.

Earnings Analysis

Net Interest Income. Net interest income totaled $9,922,000 for the second quarter of 2009, an increase of 0.8%, or $83,000, from the $9,839,000 reported for the second quarter of 2008. The improvement in net interest income resulted primarily from a decrease of $1.4 million in interest expense which offset a decrease of $1.3 million in interest income. The impact to interest income of a $32.4 million increase in the average volume of loans, from $563.6 million at June 30, 2008 to $596.0 million at June 30, 2009, was partially offset by a 106 basis point reduction in the average yield on loans in quarterly comparison. The average yields on loans declined from 7.99% in the second quarter of 2008 to 6.93% in the second quarter of 2009 as New York Prime ("Prime") fell 175 basis points, from 5.00% to 3.25% during the same period. The average volume of investment securities, including federal funds sold and other interest-earning assets, decreased $50.5 million in quarterly comparison, while the taxable-equivalent yield increased 20 basis points, from 4.08% to 4.28%. The volume decrease occurred primarily in federal funds sold and other interest-earning assets as deposits declined during the second half of 2008, following an influx of commercial money market deposits in the first quarter of 2008.

The decrease in interest expense in quarterly comparison resulted from a 71 basis point decrease in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities combined with a $51.8 million decrease in the average volume of interest-bearing liabilities in quarterly comparison. The decrease in interest-bearing liabilities was primarily in commercial platinum money market deposits and certificates of deposit, partially offset by an increase in the average volume of repurchase agreements. The volume and rate decreases associated with interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by the $32.4 million increase in the average volume of loans, primarily contributed to a 14 basis point improvement in the taxable-equivalent net interest margin, from 4.78% for the second quarter of 2008 to 4.92% for the second quarter of 2009.

In year-to-date comparison, net interest income increased $935,000 as interest expense decreased $3,784,000, offsetting a $2,849,000 decline in interest income. Interest expense decreased primarily due to a 108 basis point reduction in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities, from 2.75% at June 30, 2008 to 1.67% at June 30, 2009. Additionally, the average volume of interest-bearing liabilities decreased $30.3 million in year-to-date comparison. The decrease in interest income on average earning assets resulted primarily from a 127 basis point decline in the average yield earned on loans, from 8.24% at June 30, 2008 to 6.97% at June 30, 2009. An average volume increase of $32.0 million in loans partially offset the impact of lower yields. As a result, the taxable-equivalent net interest margin improved 20 basis points, from 4.83% for the six months ended June 30, 2008 to 5.03% for the six months ended June 30, 2009.

In linked-quarter comparison, net interest income decreased $204,000, as a $298,000 decrease in loan and investment interest income exceeded a $94,000 reduction in interest expense on interest-bearing deposits and borrowings. Average loan volume declined $4.8 million and the average yield on loans decreased 9 basis points, from 7.02% to 6.93% in linked-quarter comparison. Interest income on investment securities and other interest-earning assets decreased primarily as a result of calls and maturities within the investment portfolio. Cash flows from both the loan and investment securities portfolio were invested in lower yielding overnight funds and short-term certificates of deposit. Accordingly, the average yield on earning assets decreased 28 basis points in linked-quarter comparison, from 6.43% at March 30, 2009 to 6.15% at June 30, 2009. Interest expense decreased due to an 8 basis point decrease in the average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits, from 1.71% to 1.63%. Balance sheet changes in linked-quarter comparison resulted in a 21 basis point decrease in the taxable-equivalent net interest margin, from 5.13% at March 31, 2009 to 4.92% at June 30, 2009.

Non-interest income. Non-interest income for the second quarter of 2009 totaled $3,858,000 or 1.4% above the $3,804,000 earned in the second quarter of 2008 and 9.3% above the $3,530,000 earned in the first quarter of 2009. A $138,000 increase in ATM and debit card fee income offset decreases of $54,000 in income from a third party investment advisory firm and $23,000 in mortgage processing fees in prior-year quarterly comparison.

In year-to-date comparison, a $305,000 increase in ATM and debit card fee income offset decreases of $86,000 in income from the third-party investment advisory firm, $65,000 in mortgage processing fees, and a one-time payment totaling $131,000 received from VISA during the first quarter of 2008. The one-time payment was related to VISA's redemption of a portion of its Class B shares outstanding in connection with an initial public offering. Income from service charges on deposit accounts remained flat in quarterly and year-to-date comparisons.

In linked-quarter comparison, non-interest income increased $328,000 primarily due to a $190,000 increase in fees on deposit accounts and $78,000 in rental fees on safe deposit boxes assessed annually in June. Additionally, ATM and debit card fee income increased $30,000 and mortgage processing fees increased $24,000 in linked-quarter comparison.

Non-interest Expenses. Non-interest expense increased $39,000 in prior-year quarterly comparison, as decreases in several expense categories, including marketing costs and professional and consulting fees, offset increases of $649,000 in FDIC premiums (including a special assessment), $247,000 in occupancy expense and $73,000 in salaries and benefits costs. Occupancy expense increased primarily due to increases in lease expense, depreciation expense and maintenance costs on premises and equipment.

In year-to-date comparison, non-interest expense increased $1.0 million, as increases of $863,000 in FDIC premiums (including a special assessment), $631,000 in occupancy expense and $375,000 in salary and benefit costs exceeded expense reductions in other categories.

In linked-quarter comparison, non-interest expenses decreased $134,000 as decreases primarily in salaries and benefits costs, occupancy expense, and marketing expense offset increases primarily in FDIC insurance premiums and Visa credit card and merchant program expenses.
