Frontier Financial Corporation (NASDAQ: FTBK) today announced
results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009. For
the three months ended September 30, 2009, the Corporation reported
a net loss of $141.1 million, or ($2.99) per diluted share,
compared to a net loss of $50.0 million, or ($1.06) per diluted
share, for the three months ended June 30, 2009, and net loss of
$17.8 million, or ($0.38) per diluted share, for the three months
ended September 30, 2008. For the nine months ended September 30,
2009, the Corporation reported a net loss of $224.9 million, or
($4.77) per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $221 thousand,
or ($0.00) per diluted share, for the same period a year ago.
As noted in our September 23, 2009, Form 8-K filing, we
determined that, based on management's internal review, we expected
to record an additional provision for loan losses of $140.0 million
and loan charge-offs of $100.0 million in the third quarter of
2009. These adjustments were included in the pro forma financial
information included in the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus for
our proposed merger with SP Acquisition Holdings, Inc. ("SPAH").
Subsequent to this filing, however, we jointly announced with SPAH
that we mutually agreed to terminate the Agreement and Plan of
Merger, effective immediately, due to the fact that certain closing
conditions contained in the merger agreement could not be met. The
actual provision for loan losses and charge-offs totaled $140.0
million and $98.0 million, respectively, for the three months ended
September 30, 2009.
Patrick M. Fahey, Chairman and CEO of Frontier Financial
Corporation said, "While we were disappointed our merger with SPAH
was terminated, the number of banks able to raise capital since we
entered into the agreement with SPAH has increased dramatically.
Based on the numerous discussions with investors we have had since
the termination of the merger, we are optimistic we will be
successful in raising additional capital."
The provision for loan losses increased $63.0 million for the
three months ended September 30, 2009, compared to the linked
quarter, and $97.9 million, compared to the same period a year ago.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the
provision for loan losses totaled $275.0 million and $75.6 million,
respectively. The allowance for loan losses, as a percentage of
total loans, was 4.51%, 2.89% and 2.78%, at September 30, 2009,
June 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008, respectively.
The rate of growth in the amount of nonperforming assets
decreased for the third consecutive quarter. On a linked quarter
basis, nonperforming assets increased $93.5 million to $912.3
million. That increase compares to $143.5 million in the second
quarter 2009 and $229.2 million in the first quarter 2009. Rob
Robinson, Chief Credit Officer said, "We continue to be aggressive
at classifying problem loans into nonaccrual status and believe,
based on current market conditions, we are at or near the bottom of
this challenging housing market."
Despite these challenging times, the Board of Directors and
management continue to take important steps to strengthen the
Corporation. We continue to reduce our concentrations in real
estate construction and land development loans and have
successfully reduced these portfolios by $1.0 billion, or 43.4%,
from September 30, 2008 to September 30, 2009, including
undisbursed loan commitments, as defined by the FDIC.
Liquidity
We continue to closely monitor and manage our liquidity
position, understanding that this is of critical importance in the
current economic environment. Attracting and retaining customer
deposits remains our primary source of liquidity. Noninterest
bearing deposits increased $8.1 million, or 2.0%, from December 31,
2008 to September 30, 2009, and $26.3 million, or 7.0%, from a year
ago.
During the third quarter 2009, we announced our continued
participation in the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation's
("FDIC") voluntary Transaction Account Guarantee ("TAG") portion of
the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program through June 30, 2010.
Under this program, noninterest bearing transaction accounts and
qualified NOW checking accounts are fully guaranteed by the FDIC
for an unlimited amount of coverage. The coverage under the TAG
program is in addition to, and separate from, the coverage of
$250,000 available under the FDIC's general deposit insurance
protection.
In an effort to increase on-balance sheet liquidity, we have
been focused on restructuring our balance sheet, and in particular,
reducing the loan portfolio. For the nine months ended September
30, 2009, total loans decreased $627.7 million, or 16.6%, compared
to December 31, 2008. Year-over-year, total loans decreased $681.0
million, or 17.8%. Additionally, we have increased our federal
funds sold balances to $363.1 million at September 30, 2009, an
increase of $245.3 million from December 31, 2008, and $232.7
million from a year ago, to maintain a strong liquidity
position.
Capital
As previously announced, on October 5, 2009, the Corporation and
SP Acquisition Holdings, Inc. ("SPAH") mutually agreed to terminate
the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 30, 2009, by and
between SPAH and Frontier, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to
Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 10, 2009,
effective immediately, due to the fact that certain closing
conditions contained in the merger agreement could not be met.
Since the termination of the transaction, we have continued to seek
private equity investors and have made numerous contacts with
potential investors.
Review of Financial Condition
Loans
At September 30, 2009, total loans, including loans held for
resale, were $3.15 billion, compared to $3.78 billion at December
31, 2008, and $3.83 billion at September 30, 2008.
The decreases in total loans at September 30, 2009, compared to
the year ended 2008 and a year ago, is attributable to decreases in
new loan originations, loan pay downs and increased loan
charge-offs. With few exceptions, we have suspended the origination
of new real estate construction, land development and completed lot
loans. New loan originations for the first nine months of 2009
totaled $100.1 million, compared to $759.3 million for the same
period in 2008, a decrease of $659.2 million, or 86.8%. For the
third quarter 2009, new loan originations totaled $22.4 million,
compared to $54.4 million for the second quarter 2009 and $175.6
million for the third quarter 2008.
Management continues to proactively manage credit quality and
loan collections and address work out strategies. Net charge-offs
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, totaled
$96.6 million and $246.3 million, respectively, compared to $14.3
million and $23.8 million, respectively, for the same periods a
year ago.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The total allowance for loan losses was $142.2 million, or
4.51%, of total loans outstanding at September 30, 2009, compared
to $112.6 million, or 2.98%, at December 31, 2008, and $106.6
million, or 2.78%, at September 30, 2008. The allowance for loan
losses, including the reclassified allocation for undisbursed loans
of $1.1 million, would amount to a total allowance of $143.3
million, or 4.55%, of total loans outstanding at September 30,
2009.

Results of Operations
Net interest income
Net interest income for the three months ended September 30,
2009, was $18.9 million, compared to $21.4 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2009, and $40.7 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2008. Net interest income for the nine months
ended September 30, 2009, totaled $64.1 million, compared to $133.0
million for the same period a year ago. For all periods, the
decrease in net interest income was primarily attributable to
increases in net loan charge-offs and nonperforming loans placed on
nonaccrual status.
Net interest income decreased $2.6 million, or 12.0%, for the
three months ended September 30, 2009, compared to the linked
quarter. For the period, decreases in average earning assets and
interest bearing liabilities decreased net interest income by $2.0
million and changes in interest rates decreased net interest income
by $569 thousand. For the third quarter 2009, average earning
assets decreased $221.4 million, or 5.6%, and average interest
bearing liabilities decreased $62.2 million, or 1.9%, compared to
the second quarter 2009. The average quarterly yield on earning
assets decreased 21 basis points to 4.45% for the third quarter
2009, compared to 4.66% for the second quarter 2009. The average
cost of funds decreased 16 basis points for the same period.
For the three months ended September 30, 2009, net interest
income decreased $21.8 million, or 53.6%, compared to the same
period a year ago. For the period, changes in average earning
assets and average interest bearing liabilities decreased net
interest income by $8.6 million and changes in interest rates
decreased net interest income by $13.3 million. For the quarter
ended September 30, 2009, average net earning assets (average
earning assets less average interest bearing liabilities) totaled
$472.3 million, compared to $704.0 million a year ago, a decrease
of $231.7 million, or 32.9%. The average yield on earning assets
was 4.45% for the third quarter 2009, down 233 basis points from
6.78% for the third quarter 2008. The average cost on interest
bearing liabilities was down 57 basis points for the period.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, net interest
income decreased $68.9 million, or 51.8%, compared to the nine
months ended September 30, 2008. For the period, changes in average
earning assets and average interest bearing liabilities decreased
net interest income by $18.9 million and changes in interest rates
decreased net interest income by $50.0 million. For the period,
average net earning assets decreased $107.0 million, or 15.3%.
Year-over-year, the average yield on earning assets and average
cost of funds decreased 277 basis points and 61 basis points,
respectively.
The annualized tax equivalent net interest margin was 2.04% for
the three months ended September 30, 2009, compared to 4.05% for
the three months ended September 30, 2008, a decrease of 201 basis
points. For the three months ended September 30, 2009, the reversal
of $3.5 million of interest accruals lowered the tax equivalent net
interest margin by approximately 38 basis points. The remainder of
the decrease in net interest margin can be attributed to the
increase in total nonaccruing loans, lower loan fees as a result of
reduced loan originations and a reduction of average outstanding
loan balances.
The annualized tax equivalent net interest margin was 2.21% for
the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared to 4.55% for the
nine months ended September 30, 2008, a decrease of 234 basis
points. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the reversal
of $15.3 million of interest income on nonaccrual loans lowered the
tax equivalent net interest margin by approximately 52 basis
points. The year-over-year decrease in the tax equivalent net
interest margin can also be attributed to the increase in total
nonaccruing loans, as well as, decreases in interest rates by the
Federal Reserve, and the resulting repricing of variable rate loans
at lower rates. At September 30, 2009, the Federal Funds rate was
0.25%, down 175 basis points from 2.00% at September 30, 2008. In
addition, loan originations for the nine months ended September 30,
2009, decreased 86.8%, compared to the same period a year ago,
resulting in lower loan fees.
Also contributing to the decrease in the annualized tax
equivalent net interest margin for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2009, compared to the same periods in 2008, was the
change in mix of earning assets. As previously mentioned, in an
effort to increase on-balance sheet liquidity, we have increased
federal funds sold balances. For the third quarter of 2009, average
federal funds sold accounted for approximately 8.2% of total
average earning assets, compared to 1.4% for the third quarter of
2008. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008,
average federal funds sold accounted for approximately 7.3% and
0.6% of total average earning assets, respectively. Typically,
federal funds sold are a lower earning asset and currently yield a
rate of 0.25%.
Noninterest income
For the three months ended September 30, 2009, total noninterest
income was $2.9 million, compared to $3.6 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2009, and a loss of $3.2 million for the
three months ended September 30, 2008. For the nine months ended
September 30, 2009, total noninterest income was $10.8 million,
compared to $7.3 million for the same period a year ago.
Total noninterest income decreased $712 thousand, or 19.8%, for
the three months ended September 30, 2009, compared to the linked
quarter, and was primarily attributable to the increase in net loss
on sale of other real estate owned. During the third quarter 2009,
we recognized a net loss of $1.1 million, as the result of an $820
thousand valuation adjustment and a loss on sale of $248 thousand.
Comparatively, for the second quarter 2009, we recognized a net
loss of $451 thousand related to other real estate owned, resulting
from a $3.8 million valuation adjustment, partially offset by a
$3.3 million gain on sale. The valuation adjustments on other real
estate owned, for the second and third quarters of 2009, were the
result of declines in the market value of these properties
subsequent to foreclosure.
Total noninterest income increased $6.1 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2009, compared to the same period in
2008. During the third quarter 2008, we recognized a $6.4 million
pre-tax loss related to other than temporarily impaired investments
in Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Lehman Brothers. For the same
period, we also recognized a $1.0 million loss on the sale of a
security. There were no other than temporarily impaired securities
or sales of securities in the third quarter 2009.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, total noninterest
income increased $3.5 million, or 47.2%, compared to the nine
months ended September 30, 2008. As previously noted, we recognized
a $6.4 million pre-tax loss related to other than temporarily
impaired investments in Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Lehman Brothers
during the third quarter 2008. There was no such impairment charge
during the nine months ended September 30, 2009. Partially
offsetting this increase in total noninterest income, however, were
losses on the sale of securities and net losses on the sale of
other real estate owned. For the nine months ended September 30,
2009, we recognized a loss on sale of securities of $102 thousand,
compared to a $1.4 million gain a year ago when we sold our stock
in Skagit State Bank for a gain of $2.0 million. Additionally, for
the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we recognized a net loss
on sale of other real estate owned of $1.5 million, primarily due
to valuation adjustments resulting from declines in the market
value of these properties subsequent to foreclosure. For the nine
months ended September 30, 2008, we recognized a $93 thousand net
gain on sale of other real estate owned.
Noninterest expense
For the three months ended September 30, 2009, total noninterest
expense was $24.8 million, compared to $25.4 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2009, and $22.1 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2008. For the nine months ended September 30,
2009, total noninterest expense was $73.5 million, compared to
$65.1 million for the same period a year ago.
For the three months ended September 30, 2009, total noninterest
expense decreased $573 thousand, or 2.3%, compared to the linked
quarter. The decrease in total noninterest expense was primarily
attributable to the $2.5 million decrease in FDIC insurance and the
$927 thousand decrease in salaries and employee benefits, partially
offset by the $2.8 million increase in other noninterest expense.
For the three months ended June 30, 2009, we recognized a FDIC
special assessment of $1.9 million that was paid in the third
quarter 2009. The decrease in salaries and employee benefits, on a
linked quarter basis, was primarily attributable to a reduction in
force. At September 30, 2009, full time equivalents ("FTE") were
down 2.2% from June 30, 2009. The increase in other noninterest
expense for the period was primarily attributable to the $1.4
million increase in consulting fees, which related to the proposed
merger with SPAH, the $762 thousand increase in collection and
foreclosure expenses and the $646 thousand increase in legal
expenses. The rising collection, foreclosure and legal expenses are
primarily due to the increase in nonperforming assets for the
period.
Total noninterest expense increased $2.8 million, or 12.5%, for
the three months ended September 30, 2009, compared to the same
period a year ago. The increase in total noninterest expense was
attributable to increases in other noninterest expense and FDIC
insurance, partially offset by reductions in salaries and employee
benefits. For the three months ended September 30, 2009, other
noninterest expense totaled $7.9 million, compared to $4.7 million
for the three months ended September 30, 2008, an increase of $3.2
million, or 66.8%. The increase in other noninterest expense was
primarily attributable to the $2.0 million increase in collection
and foreclosure expenses, the $1.0 million increase in consulting
fees, which related to the proposed merger with SPAH, and the $948
thousand increase in legal expenses. The increase to collection and
foreclosure expense for the period was primarily attributable to
the increase in nonperforming assets. The increase in legal expense
was attributable to both an increase in nonperforming assets and
the proposed merger. The increases in other noninterest expense,
however, were partially offset by decreases in other miscellaneous
other noninterest expense accounts as part of our continuing
efforts to cut costs.
FDIC insurance premiums increased $1.4 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2009, compared to the three months ended
September 30, 2008. For the same period, salaries and employee
benefits decreased $1.1 million, or 9.1%, and was primarily
attributable to the elimination of bonus and incentive pay, a
reduction in executive compensation, a moratorium on hiring and a
reduction in force.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, total noninterest
expense increased $8.4 million, or 12.8%, and was primarily
attributable to increases in FDIC insurance and other noninterest
expense, partially offset by the decrease in salaries and employee
benefits. For the period, FDIC insurance increased $9.2 million and
was attributable to an increase in premiums and the recognition of
a special assessment of $1.9 million, paid in the third quarter of
2009. Year-over-year, other noninterest expense increased $3.6
million, or 25.8%. This increase was primarily attributable to the
$4.1 million increase in collection and foreclosure expenses,
resulting from an increase in nonperforming assets.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, salaries and
employee benefits decreased $3.1 million, or 7.9%, compared to the
same period in 2008, and was primarily the result of the
elimination of bonus and incentive pay, a reduction in executive
compensation, a moratorium on hiring and a reduction in force. At
September 30, 2009, full time equivalent employees totaled 698,
down from 827 at September 30, 2008, a decrease of 15.6%. In
addition, the Board of Directors voted to suspend the Corporation's
matching of employee 401(K) Plan contributions, effective May 1,
2009.
