Macatawa Bank Corporation Reports Second Quarter Results
HOLLAND, Mich., July 28, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Macatawa Bank Corporation (Nasdaq:MCBC) today announced its results for the second quarter of 2011, showing continued improvement in all key operating metrics and capital ratios.
Net income increased to $2.4 million, compared to $1.7 million in the same quarter of last year Continued improvement in asset quality metrics, with nonperforming loans down 28 percent and total past due loans down 26 percent from previous quarter end Net charge offs of $2.9 million, down 54 percent from $4.6 million in the second quarter of 2010 – lowest in nearly 3 years Completed common stock offering resulting in net proceeds of $20.4 million Capital ratios now above Consent Order requirements and comfortably above minimums ordinarily required for "well capitalized" institutions
Macatawa reported net income available to common shares of $2.4 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, in the second quarter 2011 compared to net income of $1.7 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, for the second quarter 2010. For the first six months of 2011, the Company reported net income of $3.7 million in 2011 compared to a net loss of $19.4 million for the same period in 2010.
"The second quarter of 2011 was very positive for the Company," said Richard L. Postma, Chairman of the Board of the Company. "Our earnings and every key asset quality metric continued to improve. The Company successfully completed its stock offering in June, 2011 and raised over $20 million in common stock by offering shares directly to current shareholders and the community. We were able to achieve our capital raising goals on a local basis, without having to conduct an underwritten offering, and at a price in excess of - not at a discount to - book value per share. The Bank is now in compliance with all of the requirements of its Consent Order. We look forward to continuing to work with the Bank's regulators as we progress toward our goal of eventually having the Consent Order removed. The successful completion of the offering was an important step toward achieving that goal."
Mr. Postma continued: "We believe that our improved results reflect the disciplined approach we began to implement in late 2009. We will continue to adhere to this approach in the management of the Company and focus our efforts on addressing areas needing further improvement, especially the continued reduction of the Bank's level of non-performing assets. The Company also now has a capital base that will support future organic growth and consideration of future strategic opportunities. As we look toward the future with a renewed sense of energy and purpose, our mission continues to be to serve West Michigan as an exceptional locally-owned and locally-managed bank."
Operating Results
Net interest income for the second quarter 2011 totaled $11.8 million, an increase of $184,000 from the first quarter 2011 and a decrease of $1.0 million from the second quarter 2010. Net interest margin was 3.39 percent, up 17 basis points from 3.22 percent on a consecutive quarter basis, and up 10 basis points from 3.29% for the second quarter 2010. This margin improvement is primarily a result of our efforts to reduce the amount of our higher costing wholesale funding.
Average interest earning assets for the second quarter 2011 decreased $62.1 million from the first quarter 2011 and were down $179.9 million from the second quarter 2010, negatively impacting net interest income. The decreases in assets reflected the Bank's continued focus on capital ratio maintenance, liquidity improvement, and reduction in credit exposure within certain segments of its loan portfolio.
Non-interest income was stable at $3.6 million for the second quarter 2011 compared to the first quarter 2011, and was down $2.7 million from the second quarter 2010. The decrease from the second quarter 2010 was primarily due to a $2.7 million gain recognized in the second quarter 2010 on the sale of our investment securities portfolio.
Non-interest expense was $15.0 million for the second quarter 2011, compared to $15.4 million for the first quarter 2011 and $14.3 million for the second quarter 2010. The largest fluctuations in non-interest expense related to costs associated with the administration and disposition of problem loans and non-performing assets, which were down $692,000 in the second quarter 2011 compared to the first quarter 2011, but up $1.3 million compared to the second quarter of 2010. FDIC insurance assessments remained elevated at $841,000 as a result of higher assessment rates implemented by the FDIC, but did decrease $137,000 compared to the first quarter 2011 and were $352,000 lower than the second quarter 2010 primarily due to the reduction in the size of the bank.
When excluding nonperforming asset costs and FDIC assessments, non-interest expense was $10.4 million for the most recent quarter, up $391,000 from $10.0 million in the first quarter 2011 and down $218,000 from $10.6 million for the second quarter 2011.
Asset Quality
As a result of the continued decline in net charge-offs, consistent improvements in nonperforming loans and delinquencies over the past four quarters, and continued shrinkage of the loan portfolio, the provision for loan losses for the second quarter 2011 was a negative $2.0 million. The provision for loan losses was a negative $1.45 million for the first quarter 2011, and $1.8 million in the second quarter 2010. Net charge-offs for the second quarter 2011 were at the lowest quarterly level since the third quarter of 2008 at $2.9 million, compared to $3.6 million for the first quarter 2011, and $6.3 million for the second quarter 2010.
The allowance for loan losses of $37.5 million was 3.41 percent of total loans at June 30, 2011, compared to 3.67 percent of total loans at March 31, 2011, and 4.12 percent at June 30, 2010. While this overall loan coverage ratio declined, the more important ratio of loan loss reserve coverage to nonperforming loans continued to significantly improve, nearly reaching a 1 to 1 coverage at 92.66 percent at June 30, 2011, compared to 75.48 percent at March 31, 2011, and 59.21 percent at June 30, 2010. This ratio is at its highest level since June 2007.
At June 30, 2011, the Company's non-performing loans were $40.4 million, representing 3.68% of total loans, the lowest level since the third quarter of 2007. This compares to $56.1 million (4.86% of total loans) at March 31, 2011, and $95.1 million (6.96% of total loans) at June 30, 2010. Other-real-estate-owned is higher at $65.4 million at June 30, 2011 compared to $65.0 million at March 31, 2011, and $48.8 million at June 30, 2010. These balances have increased as our problem loans have migrated through the normal collection process. However, the total of nonperforming loans and other-real-estate-owned has decreased by $37.9 million, over 26 percent, from June 30, 2010 to June 30, 2011.

The reduction in loans since year-end 2010 allowed the Company to continue its reduction of wholesale funding. Since December 31, 2010, wholesale funding, including out-of-market deposits acquired through brokers and other borrowed funds, decreased by $45.9 million. Total deposits were $1.20 billion at June 30, 2011, down $74.1 million from $1.28 billion at December 31, 2010, as the Bank continued to encourage run-off of brokered deposits and higher priced local certificates of deposit. Customer deposit accounts remain fully insured to the highest levels available under the FDIC insurance programs.
The Bank's capital ratios continued to improve in the second quarter 2011. At June 30, 2011, all of the regulatory capital ratios for Macatawa Bank were maintained at levels comfortably above those ordinarily required to be categorized as "well capitalized" under applicable regulatory capital guidelines, and were in excess of the levels required by its Consent Order. Because the Bank is subject to the Consent Order, it cannot be categorized as "well capitalized" regardless of actual capital levels.
Headquartered in Holland, Michigan, Macatawa Bank Corporation is the parent company for Macatawa Bank. Through its banking subsidiary, the Company offers a full range of banking, investment and trust services to individuals, businesses, and governmental entities from a network of 26 full service branches located in communities in Kent County, Ottawa County, and northern Allegan County.

Forward-looking statements are identifiable by words or phrases such as "will," "continue," "progress," "toward," "goal," "eventually," "step," "believe," "began," "focus," "efforts," "further," "future," "consideration," "strategic," "opportunities," "mission" and other similar words or phrases. Such statements are based upon current beliefs and expectations and involve substantial risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These statements include, among others, statements related to trends in our credit quality metrics, the removal of the Bank's Consent Order, our ability to reduce our level of non-performing assets, and future organic growth and consideration of future strategic opportunities. All statements with references to future time periods are forward-looking. Management's determination of the provision and allowance for loan losses, the appropriate carrying value of intangible assets (including goodwill, mortgage servicing rights and deferred tax assets) and other-real-estate owned and the fair value of investment securities (including whether any impairment on any investment security is temporary or other-than-temporary and the amount of any impairment) involves judgments that are inherently forward-looking. Our ability to sell other-real-estate owned at its carrying value or at all, successfully implement new programs and initiatives, increase efficiencies, maintain our current level of deposits and other sources of funding, maintain liquidity, respond to declines in collateral values and credit quality, and improve profitability is not entirely within our control and is not assured. The future effect of changes in the real estate, financial and credit markets and the national and regional economy on the banking industry, generally, and Macatawa Bank Corporation, specifically, are also inherently uncertain. Failure to comply with the agreements in our Consent Order could result in further regulatory action which could have a material adverse effect on Macatawa Bank Corporation and its shareholders. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions ("risk factors") that are difficult to predict with regard to timing, extend, likelihood and degree of occurrence. Therefore, actual results and outcomes may materially differ from what may be expressed in or implied by such forward-looking statements. Macatawa Bank Corporation does not undertake to update forward-looking statements to reflect the impact of circumstances or events that may arise after the date of the forward-looking statements.
Risk factors include, but are not limited to, the risk factors described in "Item 1A - Risk Factors" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. These and other factors are representative of the risk factors that may emerge and could cause a difference between an ultimate actual outcome and a preceding forward-looking statement.
