TACOMA, Wash., April 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Columbia Banking System, Inc. today announced net income applicable to common shareholders of $419,000 for the first quarter ended March 31, 2009 compared to $11.0 million for the same quarter of 2008. On a diluted per common share basis, net income for the quarter was $0.02, a decline from $0.61 in 2008. Columbia paid $1.1 million in preferred stock dividends, compared to $470,000 in the fourth quarter, 2008, attributed to our participation in the U.S. Treasury's Capital Purchase Program, completed November 21, 2008. These results also reflect an elevated provision for loan losses of $11.0 million, primarily due to the continued deterioration of the Pacific Northwest economic environment and the resulting impact on Columbia's portfolio of real estate-related construction loans.
"We achieved a profitable first quarter despite the rapidly deteriorating economy and its ensuing challenges," said Melanie Dressel, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Reflecting our continued concern about this general decline and its impact on credit quality, we placed an additional $11 million in our provision for loan losses during the quarter. We continue to focus on our core strategies, expense control and our long-standing business model, which have served us well and, we believe, strongly position us for the future."
Ms. Dressel commented, "We remain very well capitalized, with a total risk-based capital ratio of 14.47% at March 31, 2009, enhancing our ability to lend and increasing our flexibility to pursue strategic opportunities which may arise due to the inevitable market disruptions resulting from the challenging economy. Our liquidity ratio remains strong as well at 35%, which translates into over $1 billion of available funding for the general operation of our bank and to meet the needs of our customers. Our core deposits, which result from the strong relationships we have built with our customers, represent a healthy 80% of our total deposits."
"While economic challenges persist, we have avoided concentration of risk in any one segment due to our diversified loan portfolio," Ms. Dressel noted. "Over 37% of our loans are commercial business loans, only 11% are real estate construction-related, and less than 9% of our loans are in the for-sale housing segment. Nonperforming assets to total assets ended the quarter at 3.99%. Until the economy stabilizes, we anticipate our annual provision for loan losses and net charge-offs to remain elevated."
Revenue (net interest income plus noninterest income) was $34.9 million for the first quarter of 2009, down 14% from $40.5 million one year ago. The decrease was primarily due to lower interest earned on our loan portfolio due to the decline in interest rates during the 4th quarter of 2008. Return on average assets and return on average common equity for the quarter was 0.20% and 0.49%, respectively, compared to 1.39% and 12.60%, respectively, for the same period in 2008.
At March 31, 2009, Columbia's total assets were $3.05 billion compared to $3.10 billion at December 31, 2008. Total loans were $2.19 billion at March 31, 2009, down 2% from December 31, 2008, and total securities increased $15.4 million to $556.0 million at March 31, 2009. Total deposits decreased 2% from December 31, 2008, ending at $2.34 billion at the end of the first quarter, 2009. Core deposits, defined as demand, savings, money market accounts and certificates of deposit under $100,000, totaled $1.87 billion at March 31, 2009, comprising 80.0% of total deposits, up slightly from first quarter, 2008. Ms. Dressel commented, "We are actively managing our loan and deposit portfolios, which have declined as we reposition the loan portfolio to further manage risk and maintain diligence around our deposit pricing."
Operating Results Quarter ended March 31, 2009 Net Interest Income
Net interest income for the first quarter of 2009 was $27.9 million, a decrease of 8% from $30.3 million for the same quarter in 2008, primarily due to a decrease in earning assets from the prior year. Columbia's net interest margin decreased to 4.26% in the first quarter of 2009, from 4.38% for the same quarter last year. The net interest margin was negatively impacted by interest reversals for the first quarter ended March 31, 2009 related to nonaccrual loans totaling $625,000. Excluding the impact of interest reversals, net interest margin for the quarter would have been 4.35%.
Average interest-earning assets were $2.77 billion during the quarter, a decrease of 4.5% compared with $2.91 billion during the same quarter of 2008. The yield on average interest-earning assets decreased 144 basis points (a basis point equals 1/100 of 1%) to 5.45% during the quarter compared with 6.89% during the same quarter of 2008. During the same period, average interest-bearing liabilities decreased to $2.14 billion, or 9%, from $2.34 billion in 2008. The cost of average interest-bearing liabilities decreased 157 basis points to 1.54% during the quarter, from 3.11% in the same quarter of 2008.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income was $7.0 million, down from the first quarter of last year, which included a one-time redemption of Visa and MasterCard shares and a net gain on the sale of investment securities in the amount of $2.0 million and $882,000 respectively. After removing these nonrecurring items, noninterest income declined 5%, primarily due to a reduction in merchant services fees and other noninterest income. Service charges and other fees were $3.6 million for the quarter, a 1% increase from one year ago.
Noninterest Expense
Total noninterest expense for the first quarter was $23.2 million, a decrease of 2% from $23.6 million for the same quarter in 2008. Decreases of 12% in compensation and employees benefits, and 7% in occupancy expenses, were significantly offset by increases in legal and professional fees, and FDIC regulatory premium expenses which have more than doubled. Columbia's efficiency ratio was 63.59% for the first quarter of 2009, compared to 62.36% for the first quarter of 2008. Despite our success in managing expenses, the efficiency ratio increased as a result of lower net interest income due to interest rate reductions during the second half of 2008.
Nonperforming Assets and Loan Loss Provision
As of March 31, 2009, non-performing assets were $121.7 million, compared to $15.0 million at March 31, 2008 and $109.6 million at December 31, 2008. Residential construction loans continue to be the primary driver of nonperforming assets, representing $70.3 million, or 58%, of nonperforming assets. Commercial real estate loans account for another $36.9 million, or 30% of non-performing loans. These commercial real estate non-performing assets are primarily centered in condominium development loans of approximately $14.9 million and two retail development loans of approximately $14.9 million. The increase in the Commercial Real Estate category reflects the continued weakness in the for-sale housing industry, as $5.2 million of the $5.5 million increase in this category was related to a condominium project located along the Oregon coast.
In the residential construction segment, there was a modest reduction in non-performing assets of $2.2 million. For the quarter, the Company received $4.3 million in payments, transferred $1.7 million to OREO, returned approximately $745,000 to accrual status and had net charge-offs of $6.3 million. Approximately $3.0 million of these net charge-offs were related to credits where the bank had previously written down the loan amount; however, due to continued declines in residential real estate values, we continue to take the prudent step of marking these assets down as we receive updated information concerning the various projects we have financed. This decline in value reflects the market dynamics in the Pacific Northwest, which saw a significant decline in housing values toward the end of 2008 and during the first part of 2009. Prior to December and January, declines in housing values had been modest, ranging from 0.5% to 1.5% per month. This accelerated to 2.5% in December, 2008 and to 3.5% for the month of January, 2009. Given this trend, we reevaluated several non-performing loans and took appropriate action based upon the updated market information. As the market conditions change over the course of 2009, we will continually reevaluate our non-performing assets to ensure they are appropriately valued.
For the first quarter, Columbia continued to be successful in reducing its exposure to construction related assets, which declined $39.8 million from December 31, 2008. Construction related assets now account for approximately 11.5% of the loan portfolio, down from a peak of 19.3% as of June 30, 2008. This represents a $187.8 million reduction in construction related assets in the past nine months, demonstrating management's resolve to reduce Columbia's exposure in this segment of the portfolio.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2009, net loan charge-offs were approximately $9.5 million compared to $761,000 for the same period a year ago, and $6.3 million during the fourth quarter of 2008. Charge-offs outside of the residential construction portfolio was centered in the commercial business portfolio and was primarily related to one credit with a net charge-off of approximately $2.3 million. This credit is housing related, as the loan was secured by an assignment of a deed of trust on a housing related development. Within the commercial business portfolio, we have extended approximately $12.0 million in commitments as of March 31, 2009 to finance companies which have in turn financed residential related developments. Of this amount, approximately $7.4 million is associated with the credit in which we took the $2.3 million net charge-off during the first quarter.
Organizational Update
Ms. Dressel said, "We continue to execute on our efficiency initiatives, which are designed to reduce current expense while maintaining our level of customer service and our competitive position when the economy rebounds. During the first quarter, we consolidated three branches, primarily due to their proximity to our other locations. We are pleased with the progress of our Tillamook office, which opened during the fourth quarter of 2008. Our long standing strategy continues to focus on improving efficiencies without jeopardizing the strength of our customer relationships, which are the foundation of our bank. We are confident that our healthy core deposits, the diversity of our loan and deposit portfolios and our relationships with our customers, employees and communities will result in long-term benefits for our shareholders."
Cash Dividend Announcement
The Board of Directors has announced a quarterly cash dividend of $0.01 per common share, down from $0.04 per common share in the previous quarter. The cash dividend will be paid on May 20, 2009 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on May 6, 2009.
William T. Weyerhaeuser, Chairman of the Board, commented, "We reviewed our dividend in light of our current market valuation, our dividend yield, payout ratio and our desire to conserve capital during this challenging economy. This dividend decision is difficult, but prudent, as we deal with this uncertain economic cycle. We hope to return to higher dividend levels as more normalized market conditions resume, subject, of course, to regulatory restrictions. We believe this action is in the best long-term interest of our shareholders."
