United Security Bancshares, Inc. Reports 2010 Results

THOMASVILLE, Ala.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--February 18, 2011--United Security Bancshares, Inc. (Nasdaq: USBI) today reported net income attributable to USBI of $2.1 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, compared with net income attributable to USBI of $4.8 million, or $0.79 per diluted share, for the 2009 fiscal year. Net loss attributable to USBI for the fourth quarter of 2010 was ($1.2 million), or ($0.20) per diluted share, compared with a net loss attributable to USBI of ($414,000), or ($0.07) per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2009.

“United Security reported continued profitability in 2010, even though the continued softness in the economy resulted in higher costs associated with non-performing loans, foreclosed properties and provision for loan losses compared with 2009,” stated R. Terry Phillips, President and Chief Executive Officer of United Security Bancshares, Inc. “We remain very proactive in improving our asset quality to mitigate future losses and protect our capital base.”

Twelve Month Results

For the year ended December 31, 2010, net income attributable to USBI was $2.1 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, compared with $4.8 million, or $0.79 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Net interest income rose to $34.8 million in 2010, compared with $34.3 million in 2009. The increase in net interest income was due primarily to growth in the net interest margin compared with 2009. Net interest margin rose to 5.83% in 2010, compared with 5.71% in 2009.

Provision for loan losses increased to $10.7 million in 2010, or 2.5% annualized of average loans, compared with $9.1 million, or 2.2% annualized of average loans, in 2009. Net charge-offs totaled $8.2 million in 2010, compared with $7.6 million in 2009.

Non-interest income rose 8.9% to $8.5 million in 2010, compared with $7.8 million in 2009. The increase in non-interest income was due primarily to a $4.2 million insurance settlement received in the first quarter of 2010. Non-interest income increased in 2009 from the proceeds received in the settlement of a lawsuit in the amount of $2.7 million. Also included in non-interest income is a realized loss on the sale of other real estate (OREO) in the amount of $1.7 million in 2010, compared to $635,000 in 2009.

Non-interest expense rose 13.5% to $30.4 million in 2010, compared with $26.8 million in 2009. The increase was due primarily to $3.5 million impairment in OREO in 2010, compared with $637,000 of OREO impairment in 2009.

Shareholders’ equity totaled $79.8 million, or book value of $13.27 per share, as of December 31, 2010. Return on average assets for 2010 was 0.31%, and return on average equity was 2.49%.

Fourth Quarter Results

United Security reported a net loss attributable to USBI of ($1.2 million), or ($0.20) per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2010, compared with a net loss attributable to USBI of ($414,000), or ($0.07) per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2009.

“United Security’s fourth quarter loss was due primarily to losses on the sale of OREO and write-downs in values of OREO,” stated Mr. Phillips. “Our markets remain under pressure due to the slowdown in real estate sales and declining real estate values. These factors were primary contributors to the higher OREO-related costs for the fourth quarter. We strengthened our allowance for loan losses by almost $2.7 million in the fourth quarter to account for these trends. Our focus remains on reducing the level of OREO and non-performing loans as key measures in restoring our profitability.”

Interest income totaled $11.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2010, compared with $11.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2009. The decrease in interest income was due primarily to lower interest earned on loans and securities due to a decline in average loans and securities for the quarter.

“Net loans were down 1.6% in the fourth quarter to $396.0 million at year-end 2010,” stated Mr. Phillips. “New loan demand remains weak in most of our markets, and we expect loan demand to remain soft until the economy improves and real estate values stabilize.”

Interest expense declined 25.1% to $2.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2010, compared with $2.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2009. The decline in interest expense was due primarily to lower average rates paid on interest bearing deposits. Average deposits increased 1.2% to $507.0 million, compared with $502.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2009.

Net interest income was down 0.7% to $8.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2010, compared with $8.9 million in the fourth quarter of the prior year. The decrease in net interest income was due to a decrease in average loans, partially offset by a 41 basis point increase in the net interest margin, compared with the fourth quarter of 2009. Net interest margin improved by 11 basis points to 6.12% in the fourth quarter of 2010 from the third quarter of 2010.

Provision for loan losses was $3.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2010, or 3.8% annualized of average loans, compared with $4.2 million, or 4.1% annualized of average loans, in the fourth quarter of 2009. Net charge-offs totaled $1.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2010, compared with $2.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2009. Core operations remain solid, as evidenced by our growth in net interest margin and growth in net interest income after provision for loan losses.

Total non-interest income declined $821,000 to $563,000 in the fourth quarter of 2010, compared with $1.4 million in the fourth quarter of the prior year. The decline in non-interest income was due primarily to a $582,000 other loss that included a realized $1.1 million loss on sale of OREO.

Non-interest expense increased 10.6% to $7.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2010, compared with $7.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2009. The increase was due primarily to an increase in impairment in OREO that totaled $1.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2010. These higher costs were partially offset in 2010 by a 6.3% decrease in salary and employee benefits expense to $3.2 million and a $670,000 decline in other expense to $1.9 million, both compared with 2009.
