In commenting on the Company’s financial results, Chairman Nalbandian stated “our focus on community banking produced a 25% increase in core consumer deposits and a 19% increase in loans as we continued to support the credit needs of our communities.”
2009 is our last year under the Commerce Bank network as we embark on an exciting new plan to expand into the metro Philadelphia market. In June 2009, Commerce Bank/Harrisburg will rebrand to become Metro Bank. We continue to prepare for our merger with Republic First Bancorp. The new company will have $3.2 billion in assets and 45 offices in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
Mr. Nalbandian noted the following highlights from the first quarter ended March 31, 2009:
Income Statement
Three months ended March 31,(dollars in thousands, exceptper share data)
2009 2008 %Change Total revenues $ 24,836 $ 24,5761
%
Total expenses 20,627 18,9019
%
Net income 837 3,206 (74)%
Diluted net income per share $ 0.13 $ 0.49 (73)%
Total revenues (net interest income plus noninterest income) for the first quarter increased $260,000 to $24.8 million, up 1% over the first quarter of 2008.
Net income totaled $837,000 for the first quarter of 2009, a decrease of $2.4 million, or 74%, from net income of $3.2 million for the first quarter of 2008. Net income per fully diluted share for the quarter was $0.13, a 73% decrease from the $0.49 recorded for the same period a year ago.
The decrease in net income is a direct result of higher provisions to the Bank’s allowance for loan losses combined with an increase in noninterest expenses associated with planning and training for the conversion of core processing, item processing and network infrastructure services to a new service provider. Also impacting first quarter 2009 results were expenses associated with our pending acquisition of and merger with Republic First Bancorp.
Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
Net interest income for the first quarter of 2009 totaled $19.3 million, an increase of $754,000, or 4%, over the $18.6 million recorded a year ago.
The net interest margin for the first quarter of 2009 was 3.83%, down 24 basis points from the first quarter of 2008. Average interest earning assets for the quarter were up $202 million, or 11%, over the first quarter of 2008; however, the interest income associated with this increase was offset by a decrease in the yield on those earning assets as a result of a 200 basis point (bp) reduction in short-term market interest rates by the Federal Reserve Bank.
Average interest-bearing liabilities for the first quarter of 2009 were up $159 million, or 10%, over the same period one year ago. Total interest expense for the quarter was down $3.6 million, or 38%, from the first quarter of 2008 as a result of a 91 bp reduction in the Company’s cost of funds.
Net interest income, on a tax equivalent basis, totaled $19.9 million in the first quarter of 2009, an increase of $947,000, or 5%, over the first quarter one year ago. Net interest margin on a fully-taxable equivalent basis was 3.94% for the first quarter vs. 4.15% for the same period one year ago.
Net Interest Income and Rate/Volume Analysis
As shown below, the increase in net interest income on a tax equivalent basis was due primarily to volume increases in the Company’s earning assets, as well as a decrease in the cost of funding sources.

Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2009 totaled $5.5 million, down $494,000, or 8%, from $6.0 million a year ago.
Three months ended March 31, (dollars in thousands) 2009 2008 % Change Deposit charges and service fees $ 5,646 $ 5,676 (1 )% Other income 480 317 51 Subtotal 6,126 5,993 2 % Loss on sale of student loans (627 ) 0 - Total noninterest income $ 5,499 $ 5,993 (8 )%The decline in total noninterest income compared to the same period one year ago is the result of a $627,000 loss recognized on the sale of $12.2 million of student loans during the first quarter of 2009. Excluding this loss, core noninterest income increased by $133,000, or 2%, over the first quarter of 2008.
Non-interest Expenses
Non-interest expenses for the first quarter of 2009 were $20.6 million, up $1.7 million, or 9%, over $18.9 million recorded one year ago. The breakdown of non-interest expenses for the quarter are shown in the following table:
Three months ended March 31, (dollars in thousands) 2009 2008 % Change Salaries and employee benefits $ 9,999 $ 8,881 13 % Occupancy and equipment 3,035 3,126 (3 )% Advertising and marketing 520 837 (38 )% Data Processing 2,034 1,705 19 % Regulatory assessments and related fees 782 1,138 (31 )% Core system/conversion/branding 588 - Merger/acquisition 230 - Other expenses 3,439 3,214 7 % Total noninterest expenses $ 20,627 $ 18,901 9 %Included in non-interest expenses for the first quarter of 2009 was $588,000 related to planning and training for the conversion of core processing, item processing and network infrastructure services from our current service provider, TD Bank, to our new service provider, Fiserv Solutions, Inc. This conversion is planned for mid-2009. Also included in non-interest expenses for the quarter was $230,000 associated with the Company’s pending acquisition of Republic First Bancorp which is expected to close upon regulatory approval. The increase in salary and benefit expenses includes the impact of additional staffing in operations and information technology to handle the conversion processes as well as functions that are currently performed by TD Bank but will be performed in-house, post-conversion. Of particular note is that regulatory assessment costs were down $356,000, or 31%, for the first quarter of 2009 from the level incurred for the same period one year ago. The above-listed totals for regulatory assessments and related fees include FDIC Insurance assessments of $735,000 and $427,000 for the first quarters of 2009 and 2008, respectively. This represents an increase of $308,000, or 72%. Excluding these assessments, all other regulatory related expenses decreased by $664,000, or 94%.

The Company’s first quarter provision for loan losses totaled $3.2 million, as compared to $975,000 recorded in the first quarter of 2008. The increase in the provision for loan losses over the prior year is a result of the Company’s strong loan growth of $232 million over the past twelve months as well as the increase in the level of non-performing loans from March 31, 2008 to March 31, 2009. The allowance for loan losses totaled $16.2 million as of March 31, 2009, an increase of $4.6 million, or 40%, over the total allowance at March 31, 2008. The allowance represented 1.12% and 0.96% of gross loans outstanding at March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Total net charge-offs for the first quarter were $3.7 million vs. $90,000 for the first quarter of 2008. Two separate loan charge-offs, totaling $3.6 million, accounted for 97% of total net charge-offs for the quarter. The Bank had made a specific reserve allocation of $1.8 million on one those loans during the fourth quarter of 2008.
