Yadkin Valley Financial Corporation (NASDAQ: YAVY), the holding company for Yadkin Valley Bank and Trust Company, announced today financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2012. Net loss to common shareholders for the quarter was $25.3 million, or $1.21 per diluted share, compared to net loss of $81,000, or $0.00 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2012, and net income of $2.2 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2011. Net loss to common shareholders for the year was $12.6 million, or $0.64 per diluted share, compared to net loss of $17.4 million or $0.95 per diluted share in 2011.

Joe Towell, President and CEO of Yadkin Valley Financial, commented, "As we outlined our accelerated asset disposition plan last quarter, we have executed our plan using the proceeds from our capital raise. We have successfully sold $49 million in problem loans and other real estate owned as of December 31, 2012, and we have taken additional write downs of $14 million. We achieved our internal goals relative to the reductions we took on these assets and the prices at which they were sold. This asset disposition yields dramatically improved credit metrics, with our nonperforming assets to total assets ratio dropping to 1.64%, down from 4.13% in the third quarter.

"For the fourth quarter, we are very pleased to report that we have lowered our cost of deposits to 0.84%, down from 0.91% in the prior quarter. However, the rate environment continues to negatively impact our margin. Despite that, our net interest income is in a position to improve over the next several quarters due to the disposition of many non-earning assets during the fourth quarter and our redeployment of funds into earning assets.

"2012 was a breakthrough year in the life of our Company as we worked through TARP, a capital raise, and improving the quality of our balance sheet. While we took larger charge-offs in the fourth quarter, we are pleased with the success we've had with our accelerated asset disposition. As we look toward 2013, we believe our future has great potential for increased profitability as we serve our customers throughout the Carolinas."

Fourth Quarter 2012 Financial Highlights

Asset Quality

Other real estate owned (OREO) totaled $8.7 million at December 31, 2012, a decrease of $13.6 million compared to $22.3 million at September 30, 2012. As part of our asset disposition plan, approximately 59 OREO properties were marked to our best estimate of an exit price at December 31, 2012 in anticipation of including these properties in a public auction during the first quarter of 2013. The decrease in total OREO in the fourth quarter is due to $6.1 million in sales for the quarter and taking the write downs, and we do not expect further significant loss following the completion of the auction. Total nonperforming assets at December 31, 2012 were $31.6 million, or 1.64% of total assets, a decrease of $47.8 million from September 30, 2012, due to the accelerated decrease in nonperforming loans and OREO balances.

During the fourth quarter of 2012, the provision for loan losses was $31.6 million, an increase of $27.3 million from the third quarter of 2012. The increase in provision was driven by the increase in credit losses for the quarter due to the execution of the accelerated nonperforming loan disposition plan. Total net charge-offs for the fourth quarter of 2012 were $33.6 million, or 9.74% of average loans on an annualized basis.

At December 31, 2012, the allowance for loan losses was $25.1 million, compared to $27.2 million at September 30, 2012. As a percentage of total loans held-for-investment, the allowance for loan losses was 1.92% in the fourth quarter of 2012, down from 2.00% in the third quarter of 2012. The reserve remains at a conservative level due to continued economic uncertainty and other external factors in our markets. Out of the $25.1 million in total allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2012, the specific allowance for impaired loans accounted for $1.4 million, down from $3.7 million in the third quarter. The remaining general allowance of $23.7 million attributed to unimpaired loans was up slightly from $23.5 million at the end of the third quarter.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income was down quarter over quarter, totaling $14.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2012. Due to the low rate environment and the Company's increased cash position at year end as a result of the asset sale, the net interest margin experienced compression, ending the quarter at 3.28%. We expect improvement in both net interest income and the net interest margin in coming quarters due to the elimination of nonperforming assets during the fourth quarter of 2012, the deployment of excess liquidity on the balance sheet, the repricing of our time deposits, and our continued shift in deposit mix.

In the fourth quarter of 2012, we continued to strategically shift our deposit mix and lower our cost of deposits. Core deposits now represent 55.1% of total deposits, our highest percentage in the last eight quarters, as we focus on core deposit growth. As a result of this strategy, our cost of deposits decreased to 0.84% for the quarter as compared to 0.91% in the third quarter of 2012.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income decreased $3.7 million to $986,000 compared to $4.7 million in the third quarter of 2012. This significant decrease is due primarily to the $2.1 million loss on sale of loans recorded as a result of the asset disposition plan and the $1.0 million loss on sale of subsidiary related to the Company's sale of its mortgage reinsurance line of business. However, income from fees increased 15.1% and income from service charges increased 5.98%, both compared to the prior quarter.

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense increased in the fourth quarter to $22.7 million as compared to $14.8 million in the third quarter of 2012. This increase was due to increased cost of OREO because of the write downs taken on OREO properties to our best estimation of an exit price in anticipation of an auction of these properties in the first quarter of 2013.

Balance Sheet and Capital

Total assets increased $3.1 million during the fourth quarter of 2012 as the Company's balance sheet began to stabilize. Gross loans held-for-investment decreased $49.4 million compared to the third quarter of 2012, due to the loans sold through our accelerated asset disposition plan. Excluding these loan sales, our gross loans decreased slightly quarter over quarter, as we continue to implement a more aggressive business acquisition strategy. Total deposits decreased $19.8 million, which primarily consists of higher-cost time deposits, as our core deposits increased $35.7 million compared to the prior quarter.

The Company's capital ratios have strengthened and continue to exceed all regulatory requirements. As of December 31, 2012, the Bank's leverage ratio, Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio, and total risk-based capital ratio were 8.9%, 11.7%, and 13.0%, respectively. Leverage ratio, Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio, and total risk-based capital ratio were 9.2%, 12.1%, and 13.3% respectively, for the holding company as of December 31, 2012. In addition, the Company's tangible common equity to total tangible assets ratio was 7.30% at the end of the fourth quarter. For capital adequacy purposes, leverage ratio, Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio, and total risk-based capital ratio must be in excess of 5.00%, 6.00%, and 10.00%, respectively, to be considered well-capitalized. Regulatory capital ratios for the Company improved this quarter primarily due to increased capital levels from the Company's capital raise during the fourth quarter of 2012.

Notes:
(1) Tier 1 leverage, Tier 1 risk-based, and Total risk-based ratios are
 ratios for the bank, Yadkin Valley Bank and Trust Company as reported on
 Consolidated Reports of Condition and Income for a Bank With Domestic
 Offices Only - FFIEC 041.
(2) Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures because it believes
 they are useful for evaluating our operations and performance over periods
 of time, as well as in managing and evaluating our business and in
 discussions about our operations and performance. Management believes
 these non-GAAP financial measures provide users of our financial
 information with a meaningful measure for assessing our financial results
 and credit trends, as well as comparison to financial results for prior
 periods. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a
 substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP and
 may not be comparable to other similarly titled financial measures used by
 other companies.
(3) Tangible Common Equity is the difference of shareholders' equity less
 preferred shares and core deposit intangibles. Tangible Assets are the
 difference of total assets less core deposit intangibles.
(4) Past due numbers exclude loans classified as nonperforming.
(5) Nonperforming assets exclude accruing troubled debt restructured loans.
(6) Ratio is calculated by taking non-interest income as a percentage of
 net interest income after provision for loan losses plus total non-
 interest income.
(7) Certain income and expense amounts in the current and prior periods
 have been reclassified based on a change in our mortgage reporting
 segment.
