Annapolis Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: ANNB), parent company of BankAnnapolis, today announced net income of $509,000 for the first quarter of 2011 compared to net income of $617,000 in the same period of last year. On a sequential quarter basis, net income increased by $247,000 or 94% from $262,000 in the fourth quarter of 2010.
First quarter net income available to common shareholders after accruing for preferred stock dividends was $387,000 ($0.10 per basic and $0.09 per diluted common share) compared to net income of $497,000 ($0.13 per basic and diluted common share) available to common shareholders in the first quarter of 2010.
Loan demand showed signs of recovery as gross loan balances at March 31, 2011 grew by $5.2 million or 1.8% to $285.1 million from $279.9 million reported at year-end 2010. Increases of $6.3 million in real estate lending and $0.9 million in commercial loans were partially offset by attrition in the installment, construction and mortgages held for sale portfolios.
Nonperforming assets at March 31, 2011 amounted to $8.5 million or 1.99% of total assets, a reduction of $1.7 million compared to nonperforming assets of $10.1 million or 2.35% of total assets at December 31, 2010. Year-to-date, the Company realized net charge-offs of $518,000.
Nonperforming assets have improved by $5.7 million or 40% from levels reported one year ago.
“We are pleased to begin the year with solid earnings, a significant reduction in problem assets, and an improvement in loan originations,” said Chairman and CEO Richard M. Lerner. “BankAnnapolis continues to differentiate itself as a strong local franchise that both consumers and businesses can turn to for their savings and borrowing needs.”
In the quarter just ended, the Company continued to implement a strategy to improve the efficiency of its balance sheet, shrinking total assets by $6.0 million or 1.4% to $426.1 million at March 31, 2011 from $432.1 million at December 31, 2010. Surplus liquidity previously placed in short-term investment securities and interest bearing balances with banks was deployed to fund growth in the loan portfolio.
The Company continues to maintain a high level of liquidity and remains well-positioned to capitalize on lending opportunities as the economy recovers. Deposits at March 31, 2011 totaled $336.2 million compared to $340.9 million at December 31, 2010.
The allowance for credit losses totaled $6.9 million (2.42% of total gross loans) at March 31, 2011 compared to $6.9 million (2.45% of total gross loans) at year-end 2010. The allowance for credit losses provided 81.3% coverage of nonperforming assets at the end of the first quarter of 2011 compared to 67.6% at December 31, 2010 and 54.8 % at March 31, 2010.
Stockholders’ equity totaled $35.0 million at quarter-end compared to $34.8 million at December 31, 2010. As of March 31, 2011, Annapolis Bancorp, Inc. exceeded all federal regulatory requirements for a well-capitalized institution, with a Tier 1 capital ratio of 12.8%, a total capital ratio of 14.1%, and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 9.3%. Book value per common share at March 31, 2011 was $6.82 compared to $6.81 at December 31, 2010. The Company’s common stock closed at a market price of $4.40 per share on March 31, 2011.
Although the Company’s net interest margin improved to 4.00% in the quarter just ended from 3.87% in the first quarter of 2010, net interest income actually declined by $41,000 or 1.0% compared to the same period last year.
Interest income on investments decreased by $509,000 or 41.8%, reflecting both a reduction in the level of investments and a significant decline in yields available for reinvestment of proceeds from called and maturing securities. Interest income on loans increased by $71,000 or 1.7% for the first three months of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. The year-over-year increase in interest earned on loans includes the recognition of $180,000 of interest in 2011 on the full payoff of a $1.0 million loan that was previously classified as nonaccrual.
Interest expense decreased by $398,000 or 29.9% due to a drop in the overall cost of interest-bearing liabilities from 1.48% in the first quarter of 2010 to 1.09% in the quarter just ended, coupled with a $19.6 million decrease in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities.
The Company recorded provisions for credit losses of $557,000 in the quarter just completed and $236,000 in the first quarter of 2010.
Noninterest income decreased 10.7% to $368,000 in the first quarter of 2011 from $412,000 in last year’s comparable period due to $31,000 in net losses on the disposal of fixed assets, lower mortgage banking fees, and a drop in other fee income. Partially offsetting these decreases were gains on the sale of loans, which increased by $26,000, and higher service charges.
Noninterest expense decreased 5.3% in the quarter just ended compared to the same period last year, reflecting $67,000 in lower professional fees related to the management of problem assets and a reduction of $88,000 in other operating expenses. The Company’s efficiency ratio improved to 70.02% as of March 31, 2011 compared to 72.51% at March 31, 2010.
