  Share This Story

CFS Bancorp, Inc. (the Company), (NASDAQ: CITZ), the parent of Citizens Financial Bank (the Bank), today reported net income of $863,000, or $.08 per share, for the third quarter of 2010, compared to a net loss of $(4.7) million, or $(.44) per share, for the third quarter of 2009.

The Company's net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $2.5 million, or $.24 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $(2.5) million, or $(.24) per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Financial results for the quarter include:

--  Annualized year to date deposit growth was 12.6% since December 31,
    2009 which includes a 6.3% increase in noninterest-bearing deposits;
--  Purchased participation loans decreased to $26.5 million from
    $46.8 million at June 30, 2010, from a combination of loan paydowns and
    transfers to other real estate owned (OREO);
--  Non-performing assets increased by $12.0 million to $80.3 million
    primarily due to two new troubled debt restructurings;
--  Net interest margin declined to 3.54% in the current quarter from 3.79%
    in the second quarter of 2010;
--  Non-interest expense declined 7.8% for the third quarter of 2010 when
    compared to the prior year quarter; and
--  Risk-based capital ratio for the Bank improved to 13.21% from 12.81% at
    June 30, 2010.

Chairman's Comments

"This was the fourth consecutive quarter of positive earnings, as credit-related costs continue to moderate, and we are making good progress in exiting our purchased participation loan exposure," said Thomas F. Prisby, Chairman and CEO. "We are disappointed in the increase in non-performing assets during the quarter, which is primarily due to two new troubled debt restructurings of non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans. These loan restructurings involve reasonable short-term concessions to allow the borrowers additional time to obtain new leases to replace certain non-renewing tenants and are performing in accordance with their modified terms."

"The industry's net interest income and net interest margin continue to be under pressure due to a multitude of factors," continued Prisby. "The Bank has done very well in its margin performance relative to other publicly-traded peers."

"The Business Banking team continues to execute our strategy of pursuing commercial and industrial, owner occupied commercial real estate, and multifamily commercial real estate loans, while at the same time maintaining a focus on credit quality and relationship banking," added Prisby. "As a result, we generated strong deposit growth in all key categories of deposits during the quarter. The bank has no brokered deposits and does not compete with above market rate paying institutions in need of liquidity."

Progress on Strategic Growth and Diversification Plan

The Company's Strategic Growth and Diversification Plan is built around four core objectives: decreasing non-performing loans; ensuring costs are appropriate given the Company's targeted future asset base; growing while diversifying by targeting small and mid-sized business owners for relationship-based banking opportunities; and expanding and deepening the Company's relationships with its clients by meeting a higher percentage of their financial service needs.

The Company employs a dual strategy in managing its loan portfolio. The Company continues to focus its efforts on reducing non-performing loans, seeking to either restructure specific non-performing credits or foreclose, obtain title, and transfer the loan to OREO where we can take control of and liquidate the underlying collateral. For new loan originations, the Company continues to be conservative in its underwriting criteria, resulting in a higher quality loan origination process. The Company's ratio of non-performing loans to total loans remained stable at 7.75% compared to December 31, 2009 with loan repayments and transfers to OREO being offset with new non-accrual loans.

The Company remains strongly focused on its cost structure. Non-interest expense for the current quarter compared to the second quarter of 2010 decreased $157,000, or 1.6%, and $802,000, or 7.8%, compared to the prior year quarter. Non-interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the prior year period decreased $1.1 million, or 3.7%.

Efforts to grow while diversifying and to expand and deepen client relationships continue but remain constrained by current economic conditions. The Company has succeeded in increasing targeted growth segments in its portfolio, including commercial and industrial, commercial real estate -- owner occupied, and multifamily, to comprise 49.6% of the commercial loan portfolio at September 30, 2010, up from 46.8%, 39.4%, and 35.6% at December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively. The Company expects to benefit further from this diversification effort once business owners resume borrowing and their line of credit usage moves higher. The Company's focus on deepening relationships has emphasized core deposit and relationship-oriented time deposit growth which has resulted in an $80.1 million, or a 9.4%, increase in deposits since December 31, 2009.

Pre-tax, Pre-Provision Earnings from Core Operations (1)

The Company's pre-tax, pre-provision earnings from core operations totaled $2.3 million for the third quarter of 2010 compared to $2.8 million for the second quarter of 2010 and $3.1 million for the third quarter of 2009. The current low interest rate environment, relatively flat yield curve, and increase in non-accrual loans reduced the Company's net interest income during the current quarter. In addition, lower service charges and other fees due to recent regulatory changes also impacted earnings for the quarter.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, pre-tax, pre-provision earnings from core operations was stable at $8.0 million when compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The 2010 year to date period included lower compensation and employee benefits expense, net occupancy expense, and marketing expenses, partially offset by an increase in professional fees related to the current year's proxy contest and moderately lower levels of net interest income and fee related non-interest income.

The net interest margin decreased 25 basis points to 3.54% for the third quarter of 2010 from 3.79% for the second quarter of 2010 and 20 basis points from 3.74% for the third quarter of 2009. Net interest income decreased for the third quarter of 2010 compared to the second quarter of 2010 and the third quarter of 2009. The net interest margin was negatively impacted compared to the second quarter of 2010 by lower yields on loans receivable and investment securities, as well as the Bank having higher levels of liquidity due to a combination of strong deposit growth and loan portfolio shrinkage. The yield on loans receivable decreased due to several large payoffs and a reduction in interest income related to new non-accrual loans. The yield on investment securities declined due to reinvesting maturing investment securities and loan payoff proceeds in lower yielding investments as market interest rates declined significantly to new lows. The decrease in earning asset yields was partially offset by a five basis point decrease in the cost of interest-bearing deposits.

Interest income decreased 3.8% to $11.5 million for the third quarter of 2010 compared to $11.9 million for the second quarter of 2010 and 8.9% from $12.6 million for the third quarter of 2009. These decreases are primarily due to the current low interest rate environment which reduced the yields on interest-earning assets. In addition, the Bank is currently holding higher levels of short-term liquid investments due to the lack of superior investment alternatives in the current interest rate environment.

Interest expense was stable at $2.6 million for the third quarter of 2010 compared to the second quarter of 2010 and decreased 19.1% from $3.2 million for the third quarter of 2009. Interest expense was positively affected by a 26.4% increase in the average balance of noninterest-bearing deposit accounts from the third quarter of 2009, continued disciplined pricing on new deposits, the repricing of existing certificates of deposit at lower interest rates, and a reduction in the average balances of Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) borrowed funds.

Non-Interest Income and Non-Interest Expense

Excluding net gain on sale of investment securities, non-interest income decreased $114,000, or 5.1%, from the second quarter of 2010 due to reduced service charges and other fees as a result of recent regulatory changes affecting deposit account overdraft activity and a decrease in income from bank-owned life insurance. Non-interest income, excluding net gain on sale of investment securities, decreased $143,000, or 6.3%, from the third quarter of 2009 primarily due to reduced levels of service charges and other fees as the recent regulatory changes impacted deposit account service charges and clients conscientiously reducing their usage of overdraft services.

Non-interest expense for the third quarter of 2010 decreased 1.6% to $9.4 million compared to $9.6 million for the second quarter of 2010 primarily due to decreases in severance expense totaling $349,000 and professional fees totaling $233,000. Partially offsetting these decreases was a $159,000 increase in compensation and employee benefits expense primarily related to higher incentive accruals. In addition, OREO related expenses increased $217,000 compared to the second quarter of 2010 primarily due to downward valuation adjustments recorded on certain commercial real estate properties that have been obtained through foreclosure.

Non-interest expense for the third quarter of 2010 decreased 7.8% to $9.4 million compared to $10.2 million for the third quarter of 2009. Efforts to control discretionary costs have resulted in significant reductions in most non-interest expense categories. OREO related expenses decreased $864,000 for the third quarter of 2010 compared to the prior year quarter due to the establishment of higher valuation allowances during the third quarter of 2009. Professional fees decreased $150,000 during the third quarter of 2010 compared to the comparable 2009 quarter as a result of various corporate matters and costs associated with the 2009 derivative shareholder action. Net occupancy expense decreased $72,000 as the Bank vacated leased space during 2009 and more fully utilized space in existing buildings.

Partially offsetting the above favorable decreases in non-interest expense from the third quarter of 2009, the Company's compensation and employee benefits increased $204,000. This increase is primarily a result of a $600,000 reduction in incentive compensation accruals during the third quarter of 2009 as expected targeted goals would not be met. During the third quarter of 2010, the estimate of current retirement plan expense was lower by $196,000 and medical costs decreased $190,000 due to lower claims expense compared to the third quarter of 2009.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense totaled $188,000 in the current quarter, equal to an effective tax rate of 17.9%, compared to a tax benefit rate of 39.2% reported in the third quarter of 2009.

Total non-performing loans were relatively stable at $56.1 million at September 30, 2010 compared to $56.5 million at June 30, 2010. The ratio of non-performing loans to total loans increased to 7.75% during the quarter compared to June 30, 2010 primarily due to a decrease in total loans. Total non-performing loans decreased during the third quarter of 2010 due to the repayment of a $1.9 million impaired commercial construction and land development purchased participation from the sale of the collateral and a $750,000 principal reduction for a separate impaired commercial construction and land development purchased participation. In addition, three impaired commercial purchased participations with carrying values of $12.3 million were transferred to OREO during the third quarter of 2010. Offsetting these decreases during the quarter were the transfer to non-accrual status of two non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans totaling $10.1 million that were modified during the quarter and met the definition of a troubled debt restructuring, and are performing in accordance with their modified terms, two owner occupied commercial real estate loans totaling $3.9 million, one commercial construction and land development loan totaling $767,000, and 16 residential real estate loans and HELOCs totaling $1.3 million.

In addition, at September 30, 2010, the Bank had $10.8 million of loan modifications meeting the definition of a troubled debt restructuring that were performing in accordance with their modified terms and accruing interest. These loan modifications, and the ones noted in the above paragraph, included short-term extensions of maturity, interest only payments, or payment modifications to better match the timing of cash flows due under the modified terms with the cash flows from the borrowers' operations.

Net charge-offs during the current quarter included $462,000 related to residential real estate loans and HELOCs, $54,000 related to a $1.2 million impaired commercial construction and land development loan, and $41,000 related to an impaired non-owner occupied commercial real estate loan that was transferred to OREO during the quarter at its net realizable value of $2.8 million. The decrease in the provision for loan losses in the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter is primarily due to $3.6 million of charge-offs and increased impairment reserves of $5.3 million identified during the third quarter of 2009.

The ratio of allowance for loan losses to total loans increased to 2.41% at September 30, 2010 compared to 2.33% at June 30, 2010 as a result of a reduction in total loans from the above mentioned payoffs and transfers to OREO. In addition, total loans decreased when a performing $5.1 million commercial real estate -- multifamily participation loan was repaid during the quarter bringing the total paydowns on purchased participations to $7.9 million during the third quarter of 2010. When management determines a non-performing collateral dependent loan has a collateral shortfall, management will immediately charge off the collateral shortfall. As a result, the Company is not required to maintain an allowance for loan losses on these loans as the loan balance has already been written down to its net realizable value (fair value less estimated costs to sell the collateral). As such, the ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans and the ratio of the allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans have been affected by partial charge-offs of $7.3 million recorded on $16.2 million of collateral dependent non-performing loans through September 30, 2010 and impairment reserves totaling $7.5 million on other non-collateral dependent non-performing participation loans at September 30, 2010.

Total loan fundings during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 were $46.2 million, which were more than offset by loan payoffs and repayments of $58.4 million, gross charge-offs of $5.1 million, and transfers to OREO of $16.7 million. Through the execution of our Strategic Growth and Diversification Plan, we continue to diversify our loan portfolio and reduce loans not meeting our current defined risk tolerance. The Company has increased its targeted segments of the loan portfolio, including commercial and industrial, commercial real estate -- owner occupied, and multifamily, to comprise 49.6% of the commercial loan portfolio at September 30, 2010. During 2010, these targeted segments were impacted by loan payoffs including four commercial and industrial payoffs totaling $7.2 million, two commercial real estate -- owner occupied loan payoffs totaling $5.1 million, and two commercial real estate -- multifamily loan payoffs totaling $5.0 million. In addition, one performing commercial real estate -- multifamily purchased participation loan totaling $5.1 million was repaid during the third quarter. At September 30, 2010, the balance of loan participations purchased decreased to $26.5 million from $46.8 million at June 30, 2010 as a result of this and other previously discussed payoffs and the previously discussed transfers to OREO. Since December 31, 2009, commercial construction and land development and non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans decreased by $30.4 million, or 11.1%, primarily due to five loan payoffs totaling $10.5 million and transfers to OREO totaling $15.9 million.

At September 30, 2010, the Bank had $4.4 million of conforming one-to-four family mortgage loans held for sale that were originated during the current quarter. The Bank intends to sell these loans into the secondary market on a servicing-retained basis in the fourth quarter of 2010.

The Company has continued its success in growing deposits through many channels including enhancing its brand recognition within its communities, offering attractive deposit products, bringing in new client relationships by meeting all of their banking needs, and holding its experienced sales team accountable for growing deposits and relationships. The Company increased its core deposits by $30.8 million, which included increases of $10.8 million in noninterest-bearing checking deposits and $13.3 million in interest-bearing checking deposits primarily related to a new deposit relationship with a trust company. As previously mentioned, increasing core deposits is reflective of our success in deepening our client relationships, one of our core Strategic Plan objectives. The increase in certificates of deposit from December 31, 2009 is primarily related to a successful relationship-based marketing effort for these products.

While the Company maintains strong relationships with its municipal clients, and municipal deposits continue to comprise an important funding source, management is planning to lower its reliance on such funds over time in anticipation that the current recession's impact on municipalities and other government-related entities may result in lower municipal deposit levels.

Borrowed funds continued to decrease as the Company continues to strengthen its balance sheet funding position and enhance its liquidity position through heavier focus on deposit gathering and repaying maturing FHLB advances.

Shareholders' Equity

Shareholders' equity at September 30, 2010 was $113.9 million compared to $110.4 million at December 31, 2009. The increase was primarily due to $2.5 million of net income for the year to date period, a decrease in the unrealized loss on investment securities available-for-sale, net of tax, of $1.1 million, and vesting of restricted stock awards of $168,000, offset by cash dividends declared of $327,000.

At September 30, 2010, the Company's tangible common equity was $113.9 million, or 10.17% of tangible assets compared to $110.4 million, or 10.21% of tangible assets at December 31, 2009. At September 30, 2010, the Bank's tangible, core, and risk-based capital ratios exceeded "minimum" and "well capitalized" regulatory capital requirements.

Results for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010

Diluted earnings per share totaled $.24 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to a net loss per share of $(.24) for the 2009 period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, net income totaled $2.5 million compared to a net loss of $(2.5) million for the 2009 period.

Net interest income was relatively stable at $27.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and $27.9 million for the comparable 2009 period. The six basis point improvement in the net interest margin to 3.74% in 2010 compared to the prior year period was partially offset by a 2.4% decline in the average balance of interest-earning assets.

The provision for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $3.1 million compared to $10.8 million for the comparable 2009 period. The large decrease in the provision for loan losses in the current year was due to the lower level of charge-offs and impairment reserves compared to the prior year. Other factors included the shrinkage in the total loan portfolio, decrease in the level of non-performing loans, and change in the loan portfolio mix as the higher risk commercial construction and land development loans continue to decrease as a percentage of the portfolio.

Non-interest income totaled $6.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $7.7 million for the 2009 period. Higher card-based fees and income from bank-owned life insurance was more than offset by lower gains on sale of investment securities, service charges and other fees, and other income. Service charges and other fees were impacted by lower retail overdraft activity and credit enhancement fee income related to non-owner occupied commercial real estate lending as the Company is not actively pursuing this product. Other income was down primarily due to income related to certain viatical investments recorded in the 2009 period.

Non-interest expense decreased 3.7% to $28.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 from $29.6 million for the comparable 2009 period. The Company's successful cost control initiatives resulted in decreases in almost all operating expense categories including a 5.6% reduction in compensation and employee benefits, primarily due to lower retirement and medical plan costs. Credit related costs decreased $717,000 in 2010 due to fewer OREO valuation reserves and the absence of the prior year FDIC special insurance premium assessment totaling $495,000. These expense reductions were partially offset by $528,000 of severance and early retirement expense and $417,000 of increased professional fees related to certain corporate matters including the current year's proxy contest.

Income tax expense totaled $475,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 which equals an effective tax rate of 15.7%, compared to an income tax benefit of $(2.3) million, or a tax benefit rate of 47.1%, reported for the 2009 period.

The Company's accounting and reporting policies conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and general practice within the banking industry. Management uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the Company's financial performance and has provided the non-GAAP financial measures of pre-tax, pre-provision earnings from core operations and pre-tax, pre-provision earnings from core operations to average assets. In these non-GAAP financial measures, the provision for loan losses, OREO related expense, loan collection expense, and certain other items, such as gains and losses on sales of investment securities and other assets, severance and early retirement expense, and FDIC special insurance premium assessment are excluded from the determination of core operating results. Management believes that these measures are useful because they provide a more comparable basis for evaluating financial performance from core operations period to period and allows us and others to assess the Company's ability to generate earnings to cover credit costs. Although these non-GAAP financial measures are intended to enhance investors understanding of the Company's business performance, these should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP.
