AmericanWest Bancorporation Announces First Quarter 2009 Financial Results and Capital Restoration Plan Update

AmericanWest Bancorporation (NASDAQ:AWBC) today announced first quarter financial results which included the following:

• Total available liquidity remained stable with $130 million of liquid assets at March 31, 2009 as compared to $132 million at year end 2008 and $128 million at March 31, 2008.
• Net loans ended the quarter at $1.52 billion, a reduction of $58 million, or 4%, from year end 2008 and a reduction of $206 million, or 12%, over the past year.
• Total deposits remained stable at $1.54 billion at March 31, 2009 as compared to $1.57 billion at year end 2008 and $1.58 billion at March 31, 2008.
• Net interest margin was 3.34% for the first quarter of 2009 as compared to 3.39% for the fourth quarter of 2008 and 4.62% in the first quarter of 2008.
• Provision for loan losses was $13.7 million for the first quarter of 2009 which represents a reduction of $26.6 million, or 66%, from the fourth quarter of 2008 and an increase of $880 thousand, or 7%, as compared to the first quarter of 2008.
• Net charge-offs were $17.7 million in the first quarter as compared to $32.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2008 and $11.0 million in the first quarter of 2008.
• Mortgage banking revenue reached $1.9 million for the first quarter of 2009, a historic high and a 192% increase over the preceding quarter, and a 123% increase over the first quarter of 2008.
• Total non-interest expense was $20.6 million for Q1 2009, a decrease of 25% as compared to the preceding quarter and an increase of 10% (excluding impairment of goodwill) as compared to Q1 2008.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2009, the Company reported a net loss of $14.5 million, or $0.84 per share, as compared with a net loss of $57.7 million, or $3.35 per share, for the fourth quarter of 2008 and net loss (excluding a $27.0 million goodwill impairment charge) of $4.6 million, or $0.26 per share, for the first quarter of 2008.

“We continue to aggressively address our problem assets issues, and we believe the majority of our charge-offs and loss provisioning with respect to these assets is behind us,” remarked Patrick J. Rusnak, Chief Executive Officer. “We are faced with a capital deficit that we continue to address by seeking private equity investment. We have had substantive discussions with a series of qualified parties and we expect that if the capital markets improve we will ultimately be successful in our recapitalization efforts.”

Capital:

AmericanWest Bank’s regulatory capital ratios as of March 31, 2009 exceeded the threshold for “adequately capitalized” status in two of the three measures, with the total risk-based capital ratio falling in the “under capitalized” range. All three of the Company’s consolidated regulatory capital ratios as of March 31, 2009 were in the “under capitalized” classification.

At March 31, 2009, total shareholders’ equity was $75 million and total tangible shareholders’ equity was $44 million, or $2.54 per share. The Company’s tangible equity ratio was 2.44% as of March 31, 2009.

During November 2008, the Company submitted an application for approval to issue $57 million of preferred stock to the United States Department of the Treasury (Treasury) under the Troubled Asset Relief Program’s Capital Purchase Program (TARP-CPP). This application reflected the Company’s commitment to secure a significant private equity investment coincident with receipt of any capital infusion from the Treasury under TARP-CPP. On April 28, 2009, the Company submitted a letter to the FDIC, which serves as the primary regulator for AmericanWest Bank, indicating its intention to withdraw its TARP-CPP application. The decision to withdraw the application was based upon a number of factors, including the expectation that the required private equity co-investment will not be consummated prior to the deadline for the processing of final TARP-CPP investments. “As we have previously indicated, our plan to restore AmericanWest to well capitalized status was not contingent upon TARP capital. We are continuing efforts to improve regulatory capital ratios through both new private equity investments and reducing the balance sheet size through divestitures,” Rusnak commented.

The Company and its financial advisor, Sandler O’Neill & Partners, LP, continued efforts with respect to identification of and discussions with a variety of potential private equity investors over the past six months. A group of prospective investors have provided the Company with a non-binding proposal, which originally contemplated a matching TARP CPP investment. This proposal was deemed by the Company’s Board of Directors to be acceptable, and the prospective investors substantially completed their on-site due diligence. The Company and its financial advisor have informed the prospective investors of the decision to withdraw the TARP CPP application and are continuing discussions regarding alternative approaches to securing a mutually acceptable recapitalization agreement. “The fact that the private equity markets for banks have been virtually closed since last summer has been a significant impediment to our capital raising efforts,” commented Rusnak. “However, the underlying strengths of our franchise, such as the core deposit base, loyal customers and dedicated staff, combined with our aggressive efforts over the past year in dealing with issues we can control, like the recognition of loan losses and expense control, should position us to benefit with the eventual improvement in the capital markets environment.” Although the Company has the existing authority under its Articles of Incorporation to issue preferred shares, it is likely that shareholder approval will be required for any private equity investment in common stock in accordance with NASDAQ rules.

As previously announced, the Company initiated efforts to divest certain assets during the third quarter of 2008 through the marketing of selected branches, loans and deposits. The Company has received letters of intent from more than one party at terms that are acceptable to the Board of Directors. These transactions, if approved by the regulatory authorities and consummated at a premium, would have a positive impact on the capital ratios of the Bank as additional capital would be generated and risk assets would be reduced.

Net Interest Margin:

The tax-equivalent net interest margin for the first quarter of 2009 was 3.34%, as compared to 3.39% in the fourth quarter of 2008 and 4.62% for the first quarter of 2008. The 5 basis point decrease from the prior quarter is primarily due to a decline in the yield on earning assets of 31 basis points, offset in part by a reduction in the cost of funds of 40 basis points.

The average yield on loans for the first quarter of 2009 was 5.64%, a decrease of 35 basis points from the prior quarter and 177 basis points from the first quarter of 2008. The loan yield for the first quarter of 2009 was reduced by 65 basis points due to the total impact of non-accrual loans, including both reversed and forgone interest, as compared to a 51 basis point reduction for the fourth quarter of 2008. Non–accrual loans at March 31, 2009 were $122 million, an increase of $31 million from year end 2008. The average prime rate (the base index for approximately 39% of the Company’s loan portfolio) for the first quarter of 2009 was 3.25% as compared to 4.06% for the fourth quarter of 2008 and 6.24% for the first quarter of 2008.

The Company has benefited from the decline in prevailing market interest rates over the past year to historic lows. The average cost of interest bearing deposits for the first quarter of 2009 was 2.51%, a decrease of 30 basis points from the fourth quarter of 2008 and a decrease of 50 basis points from the first quarter of 2008. The cost of borrowed funds, including FHLB advances and subordinated debt, was 3.19% for the first quarter of 2009, a decrease of 117 basis points from the fourth quarter of 2008, and a decrease of 162 basis points from the first quarter of 2008. The average cost of interest bearing liabilities for the first quarter of 2009 was 2.61%, as compared to 3.01% in the fourth quarter of 2008 and 3.35% in the first quarter of 2008. The Company’s cost of funds inclusive of non interest bearing liabilities was 2.17% for the first quarter of 2009, as compared to 2.49% at December 31, 2008, and 2.74% for the same period of 2008.

Loans:

Total outstanding loans as of March 31, 2009 were $1.6 billion, reflecting a net decrease of $62 million during the quarter and a decrease of $193 million from the first quarter of the prior year. The linked-quarter reduction was principally driven by a $12 million decline in commercial and industrial loans and a $46 million decrease in construction and development loans. These reductions were inclusive of $18 million in charge-offs during the quarter. Total average loans outstanding for the first quarter of 2009 were $1.61 billion, a decrease of $67 million from the prior quarter, and a decrease of $165 million from the same period of the prior year.

Asset Quality:

Total non-performing assets, net of government guarantees on loans, were 7.96% of total assets at March 31, 2009, as compared to 5.74% of total assets at December 31, 2008 and 2.30% at March 31, 2008. Non-performing loans, net of government guaranteed amounts, represented 7.86% of total loans at March 31, 2009 as compared to 5.65% of total loans at December 31, 2008, and 2.67% at March 31, 2008.

Foreclosed assets at March 31, 2009 totaled $23 million and consisted of 36 properties, as compared to $16 million (22 properties) as of December 31, 2008. The value of the largest property being carried at March 31, 2009 is $6 million and is related to a residential condominium complex. During the first quarter of 2009, 11 foreclosed properties with an aggregate net carrying value of $5 million were sold, resulting in a pre-tax loss of $66 thousand. In addition, during the first quarter, $126 thousand of impairment charges recognized on foreclosed real estate.

At March 31, 2009, the Company had approximately $75 million of loans which were not classified as non-performing but were internally identified as potential problem loans due to management’s concerns about the borrower’s financial condition. This represented approximately 4.8% of total outstanding loans. At December 31, 2008, potential problem loans represented 5.4% of total outstanding loans.

The Company recognized a provision for loan losses of $13.7 million or 3.44% of average loans on an annualized basis, for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, as compared to $40.3 million, or 9.54% of average loans on an annualized basis, for the quarter ended December 31, 2008. For the quarter ended March 31, 2008, the Company recognized a provision for loan losses of $12.8 million or 2.89% of average loans on an annualized basis. For the quarter ended March 31, 2009, net charge-offs were $17.7 million, or 4.45% of average loans annualized, as compared to $32.2 million, or 7.61% of average loans annualized for the fourth quarter of 2008 and $11.0 million, or 2.48%, for the first quarter of 2008.

While there are personal guarantees on nearly all loans, the prospect for material financial recoveries through legal action is limited. The Company’s valuation approach continues to be based on the presumption that the only source of repayment will be collateral liquidation. Management continues to be focused on the timely liquidation of collateral at fair current market valuations, and has a number of foreclosed properties that have been sold or have bona fide offers pending.

It is the Company’s policy to recognize as charge-offs any specific loan impairments in lieu of carrying such amounts as a loan specific component of the allowance for credit losses. The allowance for credit losses, which is comprised of the allowance for loan losses and reserve for unfunded commitments, was $41 million, or 3%, of total loans at March 31, 2009, a decrease of 14 basis points from December 31, 2008 and an increase of 103 basis points over March 31, 2008. The allowance for credit losses represented 34% of total non-performing loans (net of government guarantees) as of March 31, 2009, as compared to 49% at December 31, 2008 and 61% as of March 31, 2008.

Deposits and Liquidity:

Total average interest bearing deposits for the first quarter of 2009 were $1.2 billion, a decrease of $50 million, or 4%, from the prior quarter and an increase of $13 million, or 1%, as compared to the first quarter of 2008. Total average non-interest bearing demand deposits for the first quarter of 2009 were $296 million, a reduction of $13 million, or 4%, during the quarter and down $32 million, or 10%, as compared to the first quarter of 2008. Total average savings and money market balances declined $14 million, or 3%, during the quarter and $120 million, or 22%, over the last 12 months. The average balance of certificates of deposit decreased $37 million, or 5%, during the first quarter of 2009 and were up $140 million, or 27%, as compared to the first quarter of 2008.

Total deposits as of March 31, 2009 were $1.5 billion, a decrease of $36 million, or 2%, from the prior quarter end and down $44 million, or 3%, from the same period in 2008. Total brokered certificates of deposit at March 31, 2009 were $28 million, a reduction of $25 million over the prior quarter and $106 million from March 31, 2008. The reduction in brokered certificates of deposit was principally replaced with retail certificates of deposit with maturities ranging from five months to one year. The Company expects to continue replacing maturing brokered certificates with retail certificates and cash flows obtained through reductions in outstanding loans.

The reduction in loans and the continued stability of the deposit base has lowered the Company’s reliance on borrowings to fund its liquidity needs over the past year. Total FHLB and other borrowings at March 31, 2009 were $144 million, essentially unchanged from year end 2008 and down $68 million from March 31, 2008.

As of March 31, 2009, AmericanWest Bank had total available secured borrowing capacity of approximately $201 million through facilities at the FHLB and the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco (Fed) Discount Window program. As of March 31, 2009, AmericanWest Bank had no borrowings at the Fed Discount Window.

Non-interest Income:

Non-interest income was $5.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 as compared to $4.1 million for preceding quarter and $4.2 million for the same period of the prior year. The fees on mortgage loan sales increased $1.3 million, or 192%, from the preceding quarter and $1.1 million, or 123%, as compared to the first quarter of 2008. This substantial increase in mortgage activity was largely driven by the Federal Reserve Bank’s aggressive monetary policy in an effort to drive down mortgage rates and stimulate consumer borrowing as well as additional internal efforts to market these services to the Bank’s customer base. Fees and service charges on deposits decreased $363 thousand as compared to the fourth quarter related mainly to declines in overdraft fees of $271 thousand and declines of $122 thousand related to debit card fees. Other non-interest income increased $825 thousand, or 98%, for the quarter primarily as a result of a one-time tax refund from the state of Washington.

Non-interest Expense:

Non-interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $20.6 million as compared to $27.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2008 and $18.8 million (excluding a goodwill impairment charge of $27 million) in the first quarter of 2008. The Company continues to pursue various cost savings initiatives. While non-interest expense was down from the previous quarter, the decrease of $6.7 million, or 25%, was principally due to a decrease in foreclosed real estate costs of $2.9 million, a decrease in salaries and employee benefits of $1.6 million, and a decrease in impairment of premises and securities of $1.1 million.

The efficiency ratio for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 was 101% as compared to 138% in the prior quarter and 70%, excluding the goodwill impairment charge, for the quarter ended March 31, 2008.

Income Taxes:

As a result of the Company’s current going concern status as of December 31, 2008, all tax benefits from operating losses in 2009 have been deferred and all deferred taxes have been fully reserved. The Company has not shown any tax benefit for operating losses in the first quarter. If the Company is successful in raising additional capital and future operating profitability is probable, it is likely the going concern status will be rescinded and the valuation reserve for deferred tax asset reversed, significantly enhancing the regulatory capital ratios of both the Bank and the Company.
