Oak Ridge Financial Services, Inc. (NASDAQ CM: BKOR), the holding
company for Bank of Oak Ridge, today reported near record quarterly net
income of $384,000 for the second quarter of 2008, compared with
quarterly net income of $136,000 for the same period in 2007. The Company’s
record quarterly earnings of $398,000 were achieved in the fourth
quarter of 2007.
Bank of Oak Ridge President, Ron Black, in commenting on the results,
noted, “We are very pleased with our results
for the second quarter of 2008. Our efforts during the first and second
quarters of 2008 to increase our net interest margin and maintain our
solid asset quality really paid off for us in the second quarter. On a
sequential quarterly basis, our margin improved from 3.00% to 3.28% from
the first quarter to the second quarter of 2008, and our asset quality
remained solid during and at the end of the second quarter of 2008. I am
appreciative of all the great efforts of my teammates and the support of
our clients and our Board of Directors in helping us to achieve these
results.”
As previously reported, at the end of June, the Company secured a
two-year, $9 million line of credit facility that can be utilized by the
Bank as equity capital to assist in financing future growth. Ron Black,
in commenting on the line of credit, stated, “The
line of credit gives us the flexibility to grow in the future if
favorable opportunities present themselves to us. It was a low cost
capital alternative for us compared to other alternatives.”
Comparison of Results of Operations for the Six-Month Periods
Ending June 30, 2008 and 2007
Net Income
For the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company reported an increase
in net income of 44 percent to $445,000 compared to $308,000 for the
same period in 2007. Net income per diluted share increased 47 percent
to $0.25 compared to $0.17 for the prior year period. Annualized returns
on average assets and average equity were 0.32 percent and 5.08 percent,
respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to 0.29
percent and 3.74 percent for the prior year period.
The primary factors contributing to the increase in net income from 2007
to 2008 were increases in net interest income and noninterest income,
which were offset by increases in the provision for loan losses and
noninterest expense.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income was $4.1 million for the six months ended June 30,
2008 compared to $3.6 million for the prior year. The 14 percent
increase in net interest income was due primarily to growth in average
earning assets, but was offset by a decline in the net interest margin
due to earning assets repricing downward faster than interest-bearing
liabilities.
Net interest margin is interest income earned on loans, securities, and
other earning assets, less interest expense paid on deposits and
borrowings, expressed as a percentage of total average earning assets.
The net interest margin for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was 3.18
percent compared to 3.71 percent for the prior year period. The average
yield on earning assets for the current period was 6.74 percent compared
to 7.68 percent for the prior year period, and the average cost of
interest-bearing liabilities was 3.87 percent for the current period
compared to 4.49 percent for the prior year period. The decline in
interest rate spread from 3.19 percent to 2.87 percent was impacted by a
decline in the ratio of average interest-earning assets to average
interest-bearing liabilities, which decreased from 110.15 percent at
June 30, 2007 to 105.84 percent at June 30, 2008.
Between September 18, 2007 and March 18, 2008, the Federal Reserve Board
decreased short-term interest rates six times for a total of 300 basis
points. The rapid decline in short-term interest rates immediately
impacts the Company’s yield on variable rate
loans, which represent approximately 39 percent of the Company’s
total interest-earning assets. However, the impact on interest-bearing
liabilities, particularly certificates of deposit, occur as the fixed
rate liabilities mature and reprice at market interest rates. Therefore,
when the Federal Reserve Board decreases short-term interest rates
rapidly it has a short-term negative impact on the Company’s
net interest margin. Generally, once the fixed rate liabilities reprice
at market rates the net interest margin returns to previous levels. The
Company is beginning to see fixed rate liabilities, primarily
certificates of deposit, reprice at lower levels, but intense local
competition for deposits could negatively impact the Company’s
net interest margin in the future. The Company is attempting to negate
the potential negative impact to its net interest margin by focusing on
attracting lower-cost deposits, particularly business demand deposit
accounts.
Provision for Loan Losses
The Company’s provision for loan losses for
the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $263,000 compared to $163,000
recorded in the prior year period. Provisions for loan losses are
charged to income to bring the allowance for loan losses to a level we
deem appropriate. In evaluating the allowance for loan losses, we
consider factors that include growth and composition of the loan
portfolio, historical loan loss experience, individual loans that may
have estimated losses, and other relevant factors. There were two
factors that caused the significant increase in the provision from 2007
to 2008. First, the Company experienced greater loan growth in the first
six months of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007. Some loan loss
provision is recognized when loans are originated so greater loan
production generally leads to higher loan loss provisions. Second, based
on management’s review in the first six
months of 2007 of the Company’s loan
portfolio, the allowance for loan losses to total loans was reduced from
1.07 percent at December 31, 2006 to 1.04 percent at June 30, 2007. Net
charge offs for the six months ended June 30, 2008 were $40,000 compared
to $6,000 in the prior year period. The allowance for loan losses to
total loans was 1.00 percent at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, and
1.04 percent at June 30, 2007.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income totaled $1,651,000 for the six months ended June 30,
2008, up $639,000, or 63 percent, from $1,012,000 for the same period in
2007. Service fees and charges, which represent a relatively
stable and predictable source of noninterest income, totaled $353,000
for the six months ended June 30, 2008, a 44 percent increase over the
$245,000 of service fees and charges earned for the same period in 2007.
Even though mortgage loan fee income increased from 2007 to 2008, the
increased efforts of the mortgage originators were negatively impacted
by the economic slowdown that began in the latter part of 2007 and
continued into the first quarter of 2008. Mortgage loan origination fees
totaled $232,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008, a 4 percent
increase over the $223,000 of mortgage loan fee income earned for 2007.
The Bank’s Investment Services Group, which
services its banking offices, and the Oak Ridge Wealth Management
division, which was formed in 2005 and operates independently of the
Bank, comprise all of the investment and insurance commissions
noninterest income category. Investment and insurance commissions
totaled $450,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008, an 18 percent
increase over the $380,000 earned in 2007, largely due to increased
revenue from both the Investment Services Group and the Oak Ridge Wealth
Management business units. Fee income from accounts receivable financing
totaled $352,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008, a 167 percent
increase over the $132,000 earned in the same period in 2007. This
increase is largely due to the addition of seven new customers in the
first quarter of 2008. Trading income was only $3,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 2008. During the first six months of 2008 the Company
held only one bond in its trading portfolio with a balance of
approximately $800,000. Since this bond is relatively close to its
maturity date its changes in market value are relatively minimal. In the
six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company recorded a $146,000 trading
loss due to two factors – the Company’s
adoption of SFAS 159 on April 30, 2007, and the subsequent sale of
substantially all of the Company’s investment
portfolio in June of 2007. Income earned on bank owned life insurance
was relatively unchanged from 2007 to 2008. Other service charges and
fees benefited from the Bank’s increased
number of product offerings and deposit accounts, as well as higher
debit card interchange income, and totaled $181,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 2008, a 81 percent increase over the $100,000 earned in
2007.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expenses were $4.8 million for the six months ended June 30,
2008 compared to $4.0 million for the prior year period. The $800,000 or
20 percent increase reflects the continuing efforts to expand the Company’s
infrastructure and branch network, and was specifically related to the
opening of the Bank’s fifth banking location
in January of 2008. Of the $800,000 increase in total noninterest
expense, approximately $300,000 was in salaries and employee benefits
and other expenses, which are expenses impacted by the branch network
and infrastructure improvements.
Salaries and employee benefits for the six months ended June 30, 2008
were $2.6 million reflecting a $300,000 increase when compared to the
$2.3 million for the same period in 2007. Increases in salaries and
employee benefits were due to an increase in support positions to
service the Bank's continued growth, as well as the opening of the Bank’s
fifth banking location in January of 2008.
Occupancy expense was relatively unchanged from 2007 to 2008, as the
increase in occupancy expense related to the opening of the Bank’s
fifth banking office was offset by a reduction in depreciation expense
related to the Bank’s operations facility,
which was opened in 2000 as the Bank’s
original banking office and is now fully depreciated.
Equipment expense was relatively unchanged from 2007 to 2008 as these
expenses were not significantly impacted by the Bank’s
continued growth, and were positively impacted by an emphasis on
controlling such expenses.
Data and items processing expense for the six months ended June 30, 2008
were $212,000 reflecting a $78,000 increase when compared to $134,000
for the prior year period. In March of 2008, the Bank negotiated a new
three-year pricing agreement with the provider of its core processing
banking system. The Bank’s growth over the
prior three-year period caused the pricing on the new agreement to be
higher, since the software licensing fees are based on the Bank’s
total assets at the time of renegotiation.
Professional and advertising expenses for the six months ended June 30,
2008 were $591,000, reflecting a $143,000 increase when compared to
$448,000 for the same period in 2007. Increases in accounting and
auditing, marketing and advertising, shareholder communications, and
expenses for outsourced services contributed to the overall increase in
professional and advertising expenses from 2007 to 2008.
Stationary and supplies expense was higher in the first six months
compared to the same period in 2007 due primarily to the opening of the
Bank’s fifth banking office in January 2008.
Telecommunications expense was higher due to the Company’s
continued growth, as well as the decision to equip certain employees
with mobile smartphones to allow them to work more efficiently and
effectively.
Other noninterest expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2008 were
$690,000 reflecting a $216,000 increase when compared to $474,000 for
the same period in 2007. Increases in FDIC insurance premiums of
$102,000 and dues and memberships of $17,000 contributed to the overall
increase in other noninterest expenses. Additionally, expenses related
to the servicing of the Bank’s accounts
receivable financing program increased by $95,000 from 2007 to 2008.
These increases were offset by decreases in expenses related to employee
travel, training and education, and charitable expenses.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense was $247,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008
and $141,000 for the same period in 2007. The increase in income tax
expense from 2007 to 2008 was primarily due to higher net income before
provision for income taxes in 2008 as compared to 2007.
Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three-Month Periods
Ending June 30, 2008 and 2007
Net Income
For the three months ended June 30, 2008, the Company reported an
increase in net income of 182 percent to $384,000 compared to $136,000
for the same period in 2007. Net income per diluted share increased 200
percent to $0.21 compared to $0.07 for the prior year period. Annualized
returns on average assets and average equity were 0.53 percent and 8.80
percent, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2008,
compared to 0.25 percent and 3.32 percent for the prior year period.
The primary factors contributing to the increase in net income from 2007
to 2008 were increases in the Company’s net
interest income and noninterest income, which were offset by increases
in noninterest expense and income tax expense.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income was $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30,
2008 compared to $1.9 million for the prior year period. The 19 percent
increase in net interest income was due primarily to growth in average
earning assets, but was offset by a decline in the net interest margin
due to earning assets repricing downward faster than interest-bearing
liabilities.
Net interest margin is interest income earned on loans, securities, and
other earning assets, less interest expense paid on deposits and
borrowings, expressed as a percentage of total average earning assets.
The net interest margin for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was
3.28 percent compared to 3.71 percent for the prior year period. The
average yield on earning assets for the current period was 6.49 percent
compared to 7.70 percent for the prior year period, and the average cost
of interest-bearing liabilities was 3.54 percent for the current period
compared to 4.51 percent for the prior year period. The decline in
interest rate spread from 3.19 percent to 2.95 percent was impacted by a
decline in the ratio of average interest-earning assets to average
interest-bearing liabilities, which decreased from 110.16 percent at
June 30, 2007 to 107.34 percent at June 30, 2008.
Between September 18, 2007 and March 18, 2008, the Federal Reserve Board
decreased short-term interest rates six times for a total of 300 basis
points. The rapid decline in short-term interest rates immediately
impacts the Company’s yield on variable rate
loans, which represent approximately 39 percent of the Company’s
total interest-earning assets. However, the impact on interest-bearing
liabilities, particularly certificates of deposit, occur as the fixed
rate liabilities mature and reprice at market interest rates. Therefore,
when the Federal Reserve Board decreases short-term interest rates
rapidly it has a short-term negative impact on the Company’s
net interest margin. Generally, once the fixed rate liabilities reprice
at market rates the net interest margin returns to previous levels. The
Company is beginning to see fixed rate liabilities, primarily
certificates of deposit, reprice at lower levels, but intense local
competition for deposits could negatively impact the Company’s
net interest margin in the future. The Company is attempting to negate
the potential negative impact to its net interest margin by focusing on
attracting lower-cost deposits, particularly business demand deposit
accounts.
Provision for Loan Losses
The Company’s provision for loan losses for
the three months ended June 30, 2008 was $99,000 compared to $77,000
recorded in the prior year period. Provisions for loan losses are
charged to income to bring the allowance for loan losses to a level we
deem appropriate. In evaluating the allowance for loan losses, we
consider factors that include growth and composition of the loan
portfolio, historical loan loss experience, individual loans that may
have estimated losses, and other relevant factors. There were two
factors that caused the significant increase in the provision from 2007
to 2008. First, the Company experienced greater loan growth in the
second three months of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007. Some
loan loss provision is recognized when loans are originated so greater
loan production generally leads to higher loan loss provisions. Second,
based on management’s review in the first
three months of 2007 of the Company’s loan
portfolio, the allowance for loan losses to total loans was reduced from
1.06 percent at March 31, 2007 to 1.04 percent at June 30, 2007. The
allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.00 percent at June 30,
2008 and December 31, 2007, and 1.04 percent at June 30, 2007.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income totaled $897,000 for the three months ended June 30,
2008, up $464,000, or 107 percent, from $433,000 for the same period in
2007. Service fees and charges, which represent a relatively
stable and predictable source of noninterest income, totaled $177,000
for the three months ended June 30, 2008, a 40 percent increase over
$126,000 of service fees and charges earned for same period in 2007. The
Company experienced a large trading loss of $235,000 in the three months
ended June 30, 2007 due to the sale of substantially all of its
investment portfolio in June of 2007 to improve the Bank’s
asset liability position. During the same period in 2008 the Bank
maintained a much smaller trading portfolio with minimal volatility due
to changes in interest rates. Due to greater calling and marketing
efforts and despite an overall weaker economic environment, mortgage
loan origination fees totaled $137,000 for the three months ended June
30, 2008, a 15 percent increase over $119,000 of mortgage loan
origination fees earned for the same period in 2007. The Bank’s
Investment Services Group, which services its banking offices, and the
Oak Ridge Wealth Management division, which was formed in 2005 and
operates independently of the Bank, comprise all of the investment and
insurance commissions noninterest income category. Investment and
insurance commissions totaled $244,000 for the three months ended June
30, 2008, a 2 percent increase over the $238,000 earned in 2007, largely
due to slightly higher revenue from the combined business units. Fee
income from accounts receivable financing totaled $185,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 2008, a 99 percent increase over $93,000 earned in
the same period in 2007. This increase is largely due to the addition of
seven new customers in the first quarter of 2008. Income earned on bank
owned life insurance was relatively unchanged from 2007 to 2008. Other
service charges and fees benefited from the Bank’s
increased number of product offerings and deposit accounts, as well as
higher debit card interchange income, and totaled $119,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 2008, a 125 percent increase over $53,000 earned
in 2007.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expenses were $2.4 million for the three months ended June
30, 2008 compared to $2.0 million for the prior year period. The
$400,000 or 20 percent increase reflects the continuing efforts to
expand the Company’s infrastructure and
branch network, and was specifically related to the opening of the Bank’s
fifth banking location in January of 2008. Of the $400,000 increase in
total noninterest expense, approximately $100,000 was in salaries and
employee benefits and other expenses, which are expenses impacted by the
branch network and infrastructure improvements.
Salaries and employee benefits for the three months ended June 30, 2008
were $1.3 million reflecting a $100,000 increase compared to $1.2
million for the same period in 2007. Increases in salaries and employee
benefits were due to an increase in support positions to service the
Company's continued growth, as well as the opening of the Bank’s
fifth banking location in January 2008.
Occupancy expense for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was $129,000
reflecting a $11,000 increase when compared to $118,000 for the prior
year period. The increase in occupancy expense related to the opening of
the Bank’s fifth banking office was somewhat
offset by a reduction in depreciation expense related to the Bank’s
operations facility, which was opened in 2000 as the Bank’s
original banking office and is now fully depreciated.
Equipment expense for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was $140,000
reflecting a $11,000 increase when compared to $129,000 for the prior
year period. Most of the increases were due to increased depreciation
related to computer and related equipment purchases necessary to support
the Company’s continued growth.
Data and items processing expense for the three months ended June 30,
2008 were $128,000 reflecting a $67,000 increase when compared to
$61,000 for the prior year period. In March of 2008, the Bank negotiated
a new three-year pricing agreement with the provider of its core
processing banking system. The Bank’s growth
over the prior three-year period caused the pricing on the new agreement
to be higher, since the software licensing fees are based on the Bank’s
total assets at the time of renegotiation.
Professional and advertising expenses for the three months ended June
30, 2008 were $304,000, reflecting a $75,000 increase when compared to
$229,000 for the same period in 2007. Increases in accounting and
auditing, marketing and advertising, and shareholder communications
contributed to the overall increase in professional and advertising
expenses from 2007 to 2008.
Stationary and supplies expenses were relatively unchanged from 2007 to
2008. Telecommunications expense was higher due to the Company’s
continued growth, as well as the decision to equip certain employees
with mobile smartphones to allow them to work more efficiently and
effectively.
Other noninterest expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2008 were
$337,000 reflecting a $126,000 increase when compared to $211,000 for
the same period in 2007. Increases in FDIC insurance premiums of $57,000
and dues and memberships of $7,000 contributed to the overall increase
in other noninterest expenses. Additionally, expenses related to the
servicing of the Company’s accounts
receivable financing program increased by $23,000 from 2007 to 2008.
These increases were offset by decreases in expenses related to employee
travel, filing and recording fees, appraisal fees, and charitable
expenses.
Analysis of Financial Condition
Average earning assets increased to $261.2 million during the six months
ended June 30, 2008, or 32 percent, from $197.4 million during the same
period in 2007. Earning assets represented 92.9 percent of total assets
during the six months ended June 30, 2008, and 93.4 percent during the
same period in 2007. The mix of average earning assets changed slightly
from the six months ended June 30, 2007 to the same period in 2008, with
loans increasing from 80.0 percent of total assets in 2007 to 80.2
percent in 2008, and investment securities decreasing from 11.2 percent
of total assets in 2007 to 10.0 percent in 2008, Federal funds sold and
interest-bearing bank deposits increasing from 2.2 percent of total
assets in 2007 to 2.7 percent in 2008, and non-interest earning assets
increasing from 6.6 percent of total assets in 2007 to 7.1 percent in
2008. The increase in non-interest earning assets from 2007 to 2008 was
largely attributable to the completion of the Bank’s
fifth banking location in January of 2008.
Loans Receivable
The Bank makes both commercial and consumer loans to borrowers in all
neighborhoods within its market areas, including low- and
moderate-income areas. The Bank emphasizes commercial loans to small and
medium sized businesses, real estate loans, and consumer loans.
Loans receivable totaled $232.6 million at June 30, 2008, up $21.9
million, or 10 percent, from $210.7 million at December 31, 2007. Two
primary factors contributed to the strong growth in loans from the end
of 2007 to the end of the second quarter in 2008. First, the Bank’s
continued expansion into Greensboro led to more commercial loan
opportunities. Second, the weakening economy led large financial
institutions to abandon entire lines of business that led to quality
loan opportunities. In the second quarter loan growth moderated
somewhat, due to a decrease in the number of lending opportunities as a
result of the slowing economy and the Bank’s
continued strong underwriting standards.
Allowance for Loan Losses and Asset Quality
The allowance for loan losses totaled $2.3 million at June 30, 2008, up
$223,000, or 11 percent, from $2.1 million at December 31, 2007.
The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level considered
adequate by management to provide for anticipated loan losses based on
management’s assessment of various factors
affecting the loan portfolio, including a review of problem loans,
business conditions and loss experience and an overall evaluation of the
quality of the underlying collateral. The allowance is increased by
provisions charged to operations and reduced by loans charged off, net
of recoveries.
As of June 30, 2008, the Bank did not have any loans that it considered
to be subprime or investment securities with any significance of
subprime 1-4 residential loans on its balance sheet. Nonperforming
assets to period-end loans increased slightly from 0.18% at December 31,
2007 to 0.28% at June 30, 2008, and nonperforming assets and accruing
loans past due 90 days or more increased from $375,000 at December 31,
2007 to $647,000 at June 30, 2008. A substantial portion of the
nonperforming loans were secured by residential property or 1-4 family
residences. The Bank did not have any other real estate owned at either
December 31, 2007 or June 30, 2008.
Investments and other interest-earning assets
The Company’s portfolios of investment
securities, which are classified as trading, available-for-sale, or
held-to-maturity, consist of government sponsored enterprise, government
sponsored enterprises guaranteed mortgage-backed securities, and
mortgage backed securities not guaranteed by government sponsored
enterprises. Other interest-earning assets consist of interest-bearing
deposits with banks and Federal Funds sold.
Investments and other interest-earning assets totaled $39.4 million at
June 30, 2008, up $7.7 million, or 24 percent, from $31.7 million at
December 31, 2007. The large increase was due to the purchase in March
of 2008 of $16.5 million in mortgage-backed securities not guaranteed by
government sponsored enterprises.
Deposits
Deposits totaled $242.5 million at June 30, 2008, up $24.0 million, or
11 percent, from $218.5 million at December 31, 2007. Of the $24.0
million increase in total deposits from December 31, 2007 to June 30,
2008, $2.5 million of the increase was in noninterest-bearing deposits
with the remaining increase in interest-bearing deposits. The increase
in noninterest-bearing deposits was due to a Company wide focus on
gathering noninterest-bearing deposits, particularly deposits held by
business and non-profit entities, as well as the Company’s
continued expansion into Greensboro, North Carolina.
Borrowings
Borrowings, which consist of short and long-term debt, and junior
subordinated notes related to trust preferred securities, totaled $30.3
million at June 30, 2008, up $6.0 million, or 25 percent, from $24.3
million at December 31, 2007. The increase in borrowings, which consist
of Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta advances, was to fund loan and
investment growth during the first six months of 2008.
Stockholders’ Equity
Stockholders’ equity totaled $17.4 million at
June 30, 2008, down approximately $300,000, or 1.7 percent, from $17.7
million at December 31, 2007. In September 2006, FASB ratified the
consensuses reached by the FASB’s Emerging
Issues Task Force (“EITF”)
relating to EITF 06-4, “Accounting for the
Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement
Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements” (“EITF
06-4”). EITF 06-4 was effective for the
Company on January 1, 2008. The Company did adopt EITF 06-04 on January
