Oak Ridge Financial Services, Inc. (Nasdaq:BKOR), parent company of Bank
of Oak Ridge, headquartered in Oak Ridge, North Carolina, announced
unaudited net income of $159,000 before adjusting for the effective
dividend on preferred stock for the three months ended September 30,
2009, compared to net income of $375,000 for the prior year period. Net
income available for common shareholders for the three months ended
September 30, 2008 was $375,000 or $0.21 per diluted share. On the
positive side, an increased net interest margin contributed to a
significant increase in the Company's net interest income in the quarter
ended September 30, 2009 compared to the same prior year period.
Earnings in the current period were negatively impacted by higher loan
loss provisions, charge offs, and other real estate owned write downs in
response to current economic conditions. Increased noninterest operating
expense and a slight decrease in noninterest income also contributed to
the overall decline in earnings.
Oak Ridge Financial Services President, Ron Black, in commenting on the
results, noted, "Given the difficult economic environment, we are
pleased with our performance in the third quarter. As a true community
bank our primary purpose continues to be helping our clients succeed in
these difficult times. Pre-tax, pre-loan loss provision, and post-CPP
dividend payment, earnings were $1.2 million for the third quarter of
2009, compared to $673,000 for the third quarter of 2008, an increase of
approximately $511,000. Pre-tax, pre-loan loss provision, and post-CPP
dividend payments, earnings were $2.5 million for the first nine months
of 2009, compared to $1.6 million for the first nine months of 2008, an
increase of approximately $912,000. Additionally, our core earnings have
been strong enough to absorb significant charge offs and loan loss
provisions. Our primary areas of focus for the foreseeable future are
managing credit quality, building liquidity sources, managing capital,
and improving operational earnings. We are pleased that despite
significant charge-offs we were able to increase our allowance for loan
loss from $2.5 million or 1.00% of total loans at December 31, 2008 to
$3.3 million or 1.33% of loans at September 30, 2009."
Mr. Black further commented, "We plan to continue to support our local
economy by taking deposits, making loans, and providing financial advice
for our clients in these challenging times. The community was incredibly
supportive of our Bank in the first nine months of 2009 and we had
increases in loans and deposits. Lastly, at September 30, 2009 we were
well-capitalized with ample capital for future growth."
