  • Consummation of common equity offering of approximately $75 million.

The Bancorp reported a net loss of $25.5 million, or $0.54 loss per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 compared to net loss of $5.6 million, or $0.15 loss per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2015. Net loss from continuing operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 was $1.5 million or a loss of $0.03 per diluted share compared to net loss from continuing operations of $7.6 million or a loss of $0.20 per diluted share for the quarter ended September 30, 2015. Loss from continuing operations does not include any income which may result from the reinvestment of the proceeds from sales of the remaining assets in The Bancorp’s discontinued operations. Tier one capital to assets, tier one capital to risk-weighted assets, total capital to risk-weighted assets and common equity-tier 1 ratios were 7.81%, 15.12%, 15.40% and 15.12% compared to well capitalized minimums of 5%, 8%, 10% and 6.5%.

Damian Kozlowski, The Bancorp’s Chief Executive Officer, said, “Last quarter on my first earnings call, I committed to the completion of a business plan which would emphasize continuing revenue growth and expense reductions, and thereby support increased earnings and reduced volatility. We have completed that integrated and comprehensive business plan and are focused on accelerating related expense reductions while supporting continued strong revenue growth. We are moving ahead in multiple areas to achieve the related goal of a 20 to 25% reduction in non interest expense. In the fourth quarter, we should see the impact of the end of third quarter staff reductions. The business plan also comprehensively addresses the completion of resolving regulatory requirements and expectations. We made related progress with our regulatory issues with the completion of the BSA lookback which will no longer impact earnings. Strong revenue growth continued this quarter, and our core lending businesses drove a 32% increase over prior year quarter net interest income. Our non-interest income reflected 7% growth in prepaid card fees to $12.2 million. Credit losses in our continuing operations which we believe to be lower risk lines of business, continue to be low. We were extremely disappointed that an issue arose with a large lending relationship in discontinued operations which resulted in a third quarter loss. The results of the third quarter reflected a fair value mark in connection with a secured commercial real estate loan held in discontinued operations. That loan, in the principal amount of $41.9 million, became non-performing after quarter end due to the failure to make required principal payments. Based on a preliminary estimate of the collateral value by an independent certified appraiser, the fair value was reduced by $23.9 million and that amount was recorded as a charge to earnings. The appraisal estimate is preliminary, possibly subject to change based upon a full appraisal which is in process. The appraiser is considering recent market changes and pending lease renewals.”
