State Bancorp, Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2009 Results

JERICHO, N.Y., July 21, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- State Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") (Nasdaq:STBC), parent company of State Bank of Long Island (the "Bank"), today reported net income of $1.1 million, or $0.04 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2009 compared with earnings of $961 thousand, or $0.07 per diluted common share, a year ago. The 11.6% increase in 2009 second quarter earnings was primarily attributable to a $1.4 million reduction in the provision for loan and lease losses and a $396 thousand increase in net security gains in 2009. These improvements were offset, in part, by a decline in net interest income of $1.0 million, and an increase in total operating expenses of $314 thousand primarily as a result of a $730 thousand FDIC insurance fund special assessment. The reduction in earnings per diluted common share in 2009 is due primarily to quarterly dividends paid on preferred stock issued under the United States Department of the Treasury (the "Treasury") Capital Purchase Program ("CPP"). In the six month period ending June 30, 2009, the Company recorded a net loss of $4.0 million, or $0.35 per diluted common share, compared with earnings of $4.0 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, for the June 2008 year-to-date period.

Performance Highlights



 * Net Interest Margin: Net interest margin was 3.88% in the second
   quarter of 2009 versus 4.29% in the second quarter of 2008 and
   4.03% in the first quarter of 2009. The reduction in net interest
   margin in the second quarter of 2009 versus 2008 resulted from
   several factors, most notably reduced asset yields due to lower
   interest rates, increased non-performing assets and accelerated
   cash flows on investment securities in 2009;
 * Capital Strength: The Company's Tier I leverage capital ratio was
   8.98% at June 30, 2009 versus 7.64% at June 30, 2008 and 9.10% at
   March 31, 2009.  The Company's tangible common equity ratio (non-
   GAAP financial measure) was 6.75% at June 30, 2009 versus 7.13% at
   June 30, 2008 and 6.99% at March 31, 2009. As previously disclosed,
   the Company issued  $37 million in preferred stock and a warrant
   under the Treasury CPP in December 2008;
 * Loan and Lease Loss Provision: The provision for loan and lease
   losses decreased by $1.4 million in the second quarter of 2009
   versus the second quarter of 2008 and decreased by $6.5 million
   versus the first quarter of 2009;
 * Asset Quality: Non-accrual loans and leases totaled $35 million
   (including $12 million of loans held for sale which have been
   previously written down to their estimated net realizable value) or
   3.1% of loans and leases outstanding at June 30, 2009 versus $11
   million (no non-accrual loans held for sale) or 1.0% of loans and
   leases outstanding at June 30, 2008 and $28 million (including $13
   million of loans held for sale) or 2.5% of loans and leases
   outstanding at March 31, 2009. Net loan and lease charge-offs of
   $1.4 million were recorded in the second quarter of 2009 versus
   $2.1 million in the second quarter of 2008 and $2.8 million in the
   first quarter of 2009. The allowance for loan and lease losses
   totaled $28 million or 2.5% of total loans and leases at June 30,
   2009 versus $26 million or 2.3% of total loans and leases at March
   31, 2009 and $19 million or 1.7% of total loans and leases at
   December 31, 2008;
 * Operating Efficiency:  Total operating expenses for the second
   quarter of 2009 increased by 2.8% to $11.5 million from the $11.2
   million reported in the second quarter of 2008. The Company's
   operating efficiency ratio increased to 70.9% in 2009 from 63.7% in
   the comparable 2008 period. Excluding the $730 thousand FDIC
   insurance fund special assessment recorded during the second
   quarter of 2009, the Company's operating efficiency ratio would
   have been 66.4% (non-GAAP financial measure).  The Company's
   efficiency ratio was 61.8 % in the first quarter of 2009;
 * Loans and Leases: Loans and leases outstanding increased by 5% to
   $1.1 billion versus the second quarter of 2008 and were unchanged
   versus the first quarter of 2009;
 * Core Deposits: Core deposits totaled $958 million at June 30, 2009
   versus $883 million at June 30, 2008 and $865 million at March 31,
   2009. The growth in core deposits reflects the Company's ongoing
   acquisition of attractive new business clients and the expansion of
   many existing business client relationships. Core deposits
   represented 67% of total deposits in the quarter ended June 2009,
   71% of total deposits for the quarter ended June 2008 and 66% for
   the quarter ended March 2009.  Demand deposits increased by 8% to
   $342 million at June 30, 2009 versus $317 million at the comparable
   2008 date and increased by 3% from $332 million at March 31, 2009;
 * Performance Ratios: Return on average assets and return on average
   stockholders' equity were 0.26% and 2.89%, respectively, in the
   second quarter of 2009 and 0.24% and 3.35%, respectively, in the
   comparable 2008 period.

Commenting on the second quarter 2009 financial performance, President and CEO Thomas M. O'Brien stated, "The results of the second quarter mark a return to profitability for the Company. In several key areas, the news for the Company is generally positive yet we remain cautious on credit conditions and the inherent risk in lending portfolios which is being exacerbated in this weak economy. Operating expenses continue to be well controlled although the FDIC's industry-wide special assessment amounted to $730 thousand in this quarter. Deposit flows have been strong with total deposits up by $181 million or 14.5% year over year. Consequently, the resulting additional liquidity in the Bank, when combined with lower earning-asset yields, has had a negative impact on the net interest margin.

"Non-performing loans remain a cause for concern and continued close management attention. This quarter's provision for loan losses at $3.5 million increased the allowance for loan losses to $28 million following $1.4 million of charge-offs in the quarter. The allowance now represents 2.5% of the total loan portfolio and 81% of non-performing assets. Included in non-performing assets is $12 million in loans held for sale which were previously written down to their estimated market values. When the held for sale loans are excluded from non-performing assets, the ratio of allowance for loan losses to non-performing assets improves to 122%. Nonetheless, the absolute level of problem loans remains stubbornly high although we are anticipating progress in the next few quarters on some of these credits. The loss rate on non-performing loans has generally remained in the same range as has been experienced in the last several quarters. Liquidity for disposition of such credits is thin, thereby negatively impacting our ability to quickly sell distressed credit positions.

"Conditions in our primary markets appear to have finally stabilized, however at a much reduced level of economic activity, beginning in the middle of the second quarter of 2009. Notwithstanding this apparent stability, the economy in the New York metropolitan region remains fragile and unemployment levels continue to move higher. While any relative stability is certainly welcome, business risks remain elevated and negative surprises have become a fact of life. Although the pace of economic decline has certainly moderated, visible signs of recovery are elusive and corporate hiring has not returned. We continue to believe that some economic recovery is likely to be evident in 2010. The risk of such a recovery being marked by modest growth and elevated unemployment levels is substantial. In this scenario it is highly likely that interest rates may remain quite low, consumer spending stays restrained while the rates at which consumers save remain high creating some further disinflation pressures which will serve to restrain asset values and pricing power.

"Within the confines of these conditions, the Company continues to build for the future while forthrightly addressing its existing problems. We are attracting new and vibrant client relationships and have selectively hired experienced commercial relationship managers to join our strong team of professional bankers. While it is impossible to forecast the future with any degree of comfort, our goal is to be fully prepared to flourish as the economy slowly returns to a more normal degree of growth and to continue to capitalize on plentiful opportunity. Until such time, we subscribe to a cautious and proactive posture."

Earnings Summary for the Quarter Ended June 30, 2009

The Company recorded net income of $1.1 million during the second quarter of 2009 versus earnings of $961 thousand in the comparable 2008 period. Net interest income decreased by $1.0 million or 6.5% to $15.0 million in the second quarter of 2009 versus 2008. This decline was due to a 41 basis point contraction of the Company's net interest margin to 3.88% in 2009. The reduced margin in 2009 resulted from lower asset yields in all categories, principally loans and securities. The Company's second quarter 2009 average earning-asset yield declined by 106 basis points to a weighted average yield of 4.95% from 6.01% in 2008. The lower earning-asset yield resulted principally from a 121 basis point reduction in the average yield on loans and leases to 5.30% due in part to the increase in non-accrual loans recorded in 2009. Total loans increased by $55 million or 5% to $1.1 billion at June 30, 2009 versus the comparable 2008 period largely due to growth of $76 million in the Company's commercial mortgage portfolio. In June 2008, the Company sold approximately $64 million in leases of its former equipment leasing subsidiary. The securities portfolio increased by $6 million at June 30, 2009 versus the comparable 2008 period. The average yield on the Company's securities portfolio decreased by 41 basis points to 4.49% in the second quarter of 2009 versus 2008.

Partially offsetting the decreased average earning-asset yield was a 77 basis point reduction in the Company's average cost of interest-bearing liabilities in the second quarter of 2009 to 1.45% versus 2.22% at this time in 2008. The lower cost of funds resulted from a 7% increase in core deposits (average cost of 50 basis points) coupled with the lower prevailing rate environment in the second quarter of 2009 versus the comparable 2008 period. The Company experienced a $181 million increase in total deposits at June 30, 2009 versus June 30, 2008. This increase, which was recorded in all deposit categories, together with the March 2009 issuance of $29 million in senior unsecured debt due 2012 guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") under the FDIC's Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program ("TLGP"), allowed the Company to reduce its use of other temporary borrowings in 2009 and improve its liquidity position. Federal funds purchased and other temporary borrowings declined by $158 million versus June 30, 2008.

The provision for loan and lease losses was $3.5 million in the second quarter of 2009, representing a decrease of $1.4 million versus the comparable 2008 period. The reduction in the Company's second quarter 2009 provision for loan and lease losses was primarily due to a $1.2 million provision recorded in the second quarter of 2008 upon the sale of the assets of the Company's former equipment leasing subsidiary.

Second quarter 2009 total operating expenses increased by $314 thousand or 2.8% to $11.5 million compared to the second quarter of 2008. This increase was primarily due to growth of $1.1 million in FDIC and NYS assessment fees, which includes a special FDIC insurance fund assessment fee of $730 thousand recorded in 2009. Marketing expenses increased by $456 thousand as the result of corporate branding efforts undertaken in 2009 coupled with significant reductions in print, broadcast and other media advertising during the second quarter of 2008. The increases in FDIC and NYS assessment and marketing expenses were offset by a $1.3 million reduction in legal expenses in 2009 primarily related to outside counsel fees incurred during the previously disclosed shareholder derivative suit settled during the third quarter of 2008.

Earnings Summary for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2009

The decrease in net income in the first six months of 2009 compared with 2008 resulted from several factors, most notably an increase in the provision for loan and lease losses of $7.0 million and reductions in net interest income and noninterest income of $1.3 million and $4.1 million, respectively. Partially offsetting the foregoing negative factors was a $653 thousand decline in total operating expenses, which occurred despite the $730 thousand special FDIC insurance fund assessment fee recorded in 2009.

The decrease in net interest income was due to a 19 basis point narrowing of the Company's net interest margin to 3.96% in 2009 from 4.15% a year ago. The increased provision for loan and lease losses in 2009 versus the comparable 2008 period was due to several factors, including an increase in non-accrual loans and leases, internal risk rating downgrades of several commercial loan relationships and the growth in total loans outstanding.

The decline in noninterest income in 2009 resulted principally from an increase in net security losses of $3.3 million due to a previously disclosed $4.0 million first quarter 2009 non-cash other-than-temporary impairment ("OTTI") charge. Income from bank owned life insurance ("BOLI") declined by $145 thousand in 2009 versus 2008 due to a lower rate of return on BOLI assets. Other operating income decreased by $622 thousand in 2009, due to reductions in sweep program fees coupled with losses recorded on certain customer interest rate swaps in the first half of 2009.

Total operating expenses decreased by $653 thousand or 2.9% to $21.7 million in 2009, primarily due to the previously noted reduction in legal expenses ($2.4 million) related to the shareholder derivative lawsuit settled in 2008. Salaries and other employee benefits expenses declined by $441 thousand in 2009 due to a reduction in head count coupled with lower retirement plan expenses. Other operating expenses decreased by $512 thousand, almost entirely related to the sale of the Company's former equipment leasing subsidiary in June 2008. These improvements were offset by a $2.1 million increase in FDIC and NYS assessment expenses in 2009 resulting from higher FDIC insurance premiums, growth in deposits, additional deposit insurance programs and the previously noted FDIC special assessment of $730 thousand recorded in the second quarter of 2009. Marketing and advertising expenses increased by $463 thousand in 2009 for the same reasons noted in the second quarter discussion. The Company recorded a $2.0 million income tax benefit in the first half of 2009 versus a $1.7 million income tax expense in the comparable period a year ago.

Asset Quality

Non-accrual loans and leases totaled $35 million or 3.1% of total loans and leases outstanding at June 30, 2009 versus $11 million or 1.0% of total loans and leases outstanding at June 30, 2008 and $28 million or 2.5% of total loans and leases outstanding at March 31, 2009. Non-accrual loans categorized as held for sale (which have been previously written down to estimated realizable value) amounted to $12 million and $13 million at June 30, 2009 and March 31, 2009, respectively. The Company had no non-accrual loans held for sale at June 30, 2008. The increase in non-accrual loans and leases at June 30, 2009 compared to June 30, 2008 resulted primarily from the addition of seven relationships to non-accrual status. These relationships consisted of residential construction and commercial real estate credits totaling $27 million, and commercial and industrial loans totaling $5 million. These additions were reduced by charge-offs of non-accrual loans of $5 million and cash payments received of $4 million. The increase in non-accrual loans at June 30, 2009 compared with March 31, 2009 was primarily due to a residential construction loan totaling $4 million and a commercial real estate relationship, categorized as held for sale, totaling $3 million. The allowance for loan and lease losses as a percentage of total non-accrual loans and leases amounted to 81% at June 30, 2009 versus 158% at June 30, 2008 and 91% at March 31, 2009. The allowance for loan and lease losses as a percentage of non-accrual loans and leases, excluding non-accrual loans categorized as held for sale, amounted to 122% at June 30, 2009 versus 158% at June 30, 2008 and 134% at March 31, 2009. The Company held no Other Real Estate Owned at June 30, 2009, June 30, 2008 or March 31, 2009.

As of June 30, 2009, the Company's allowance for loan and lease losses amounted to $28 million or 2.5% of period-end loans and leases outstanding (excluding loans held for sale). The allowance as a percentage of loans and leases outstanding (excluding loans held for sale) was 1.6% at June 30, 2008 and 2.3% at March 31, 2009.

The Company recorded net loan and lease charge-offs of $1.4 million in the second quarter of 2009 versus net charge-offs of $2.1 million in the second quarter of 2008 and $2.8 million in the first quarter of 2009. As a percentage of average total loans and leases outstanding, these net amounts represented, on an annualized basis, 0.5% for the second quarter of 2009, 0.8% for the second quarter of 2008 and 1.0% for the first quarter of 2009.

Capital

Total stockholders' equity was $149 million at June 30, 2009 compared to $112 million at June 30, 2008. The increase is primarily a result of the issuance of $37 million in preferred stock and a warrant under the Treasury's CPP in December 2008. The Company issued to the Treasury 36,842 shares of 5% fixed rate cumulative perpetual preferred stock and a warrant to purchase 465,569 shares of common stock. This increase in capital has allowed the Company to reinforce its commitment to serve the credit needs of our clients and the communities in which we operate.

The Company has $20 million in outstanding trust preferred securities that qualify as Tier I capital. During 2009, the weighted average rate on the Company's trust preferred securities was 4.51% versus 6.47% a year ago. The Company also has $10 million of 8.25% subordinated notes outstanding which qualify as Tier II capital.

The Company's capital ratios exceeded all regulatory requirements at June 30, 2009. The Bank's Tier I leverage, Tier I risk-weighted and total risk-weighted capital ratios were 9.27%, 11.84% and 13.10%, respectively, at June 30, 2009. Each of these ratios exceeds the regulatory guidelines for a "well capitalized" institution, the highest regulatory capital category. Excluding the capital received through the CPP, the Bank would still be considered "well capitalized." The Company's tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio (non-GAAP financial measure) was 6.75% at June 30, 2009 versus 7.13% at June 30, 2008 and 6.99% at March 31, 2009.

The Company did not repurchase any of its common stock in 2009. Under the Board of Directors' existing authorization, up to 512,348 shares may be repurchased from time to time as conditions warrant. The Company does not presently anticipate repurchasing any of its shares in the immediate future.

 (1) Weighted daily average balance for period noted.
 (2) Amount used for earnings per common share computation.
 (3) The ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets, or TCE
     ratio, is calculated by dividing total common stockholders'
     equity by total assets, after reducing both amounts by intangible
     assets. The TCE ratio is not required by GAAP or by applicable
     bank regulatory requirements, but is a metric used by management
     to evaluate the adequacy of our capital levels. Since there is no
     authoritative requirement to calculate the TCE ratio, our TCE
     ratio is not necessarily comparable to similar capital measures
     disclosed or used by other companies in the financial services
     industry. Tangible common equity and tangible assets are non-GAAP
     financial measures and should be considered in addition to, not
     as a substitute for or superior to, financial measures determined
     in accordance with GAAP. With respect to the calculation of the
     actual unaudited TCE ratio as of June 30, 2009, reconciliations
     of tangible common equity to GAAP total common stockholders'
     equity and tangible assets to GAAP total assets are set forth
