ITLA Capital Corporation Reports Earnings for the Quarter Ended
June 30, 2005
LA JOLLA, Calif., July 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ITLA Capital Corporation
(NASDAQ:ITLA) today reported net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2005,
primarily resulting from the operations of its wholly-owned subsidiaries,
Imperial Capital Bank (the Bank) and Imperial Capital Real Estate Investment
Trust (the REIT) of $5.8 million or $0.98 per diluted share compared to $5.6
million or $0.86 per diluted share for the same period last year. President
and Chief Executive Officer George W. Haligowski noted that "We are encouraged
by our second quarter results. The increase in earnings was primarily related
to the growth in our loan portfolio. Despite current competitive market
conditions, our loan portfolio has increased by over $375.0 million during the
quarter and the contribution from our national expansion continues to improve."
The Bank has 17 loan production offices outside of the state of California and
a total of 24 loan production offices operating as of June 30, 2005.
Net interest income before provision for loan losses increased 14.2 percent to
$22.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, compared to $19.4 million
for the same period last year. The increase was primarily caused by additional
interest income earned due to the growth in the average balance of our loan
portfolio, and an increase in the average balance of higher yielding investment
securities held-to-maturity as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2004.
This increase was partially offset by additional interest expense incurred due
to the growth in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities as
compared to the same period last year, deposits repricing to higher current
market interest rates, and the addition of new borrowings at higher current
market interest rates.
The provision for loan losses was $1.5 million for the quarter ended June 30,
2005, compared to $1.0 million for the same period last year. These provisions
for loan losses were recorded to provide reserves adequate to support known and
inherent losses in our loan portfolio and for specific reserves as of June 30,
2005 and 2004, respectively.
General and administrative expenses increased to $11.1 million for the current
quarter, compared to $10.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2004. The
increase in general and administrative expenses was caused by the additional
overhead expenses incurred in connection with the national expansion of our
loan production platform over the same period last year. Our efficiency ratio
(defined as recurring general and administrative expenses as percentage of net
revenue) decreased to 48.9 percent for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, as
compared to 51.4 percent for the same period last year. The improvement in our
efficiency ratio was primarily due to the increase in interest income earned, as
discussed above.
Loan production was $559.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2005,
compared to $258.1 million for the same period last year. During the current
quarter, the Bank originated $145.1 million of commercial real estate loans,
$80.1 million of small balance multi-family real estate loans, $31.6 million of
entertainment finance loans, $2.0 million of franchise loans, and its wholesale
loan operations completed acquisitions consisting of $301.0 million of small
balance multi-family real estate loans. The Company's franchise loan
production continues to decline in 2005 as it focuses on commercial real
estate and small balance multi-family real estate loan production. Loan
production for the same period last year consisted of the origination of $156.0
million of commercial real estate loans, $55.8 million of small balance
multi-family real estate loans, $21.6 million of entertainment finance loans
and $24.7 million of franchise loans. Haligowski commented that: "Our national
expansion, as well as our wholesale loan operation continues to be the focus of
our current growth opportunities. Each quarter, our loan production offices
outside of California have improved their aggregate loan originations and their
overall contribution to our profitability. Through our increased loan
production, we've expanded the geographic diversification of our loan
portfolio, and currently, almost 40 percent of our real estate loan collateral
is located outside of California."
Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2005 decreased to $11.5 million or
$1.90 per diluted share, compared to $19.4 million or $2.93 per diluted share
for the same period last year. The decrease was primarily caused by a decline
in interest and fee income earned in connection with the Bank's refund
anticipation loan (RAL) program, which terminated at the conclusion of the 2004
tax season. Despite the termination of the RAL program, net interest income
before provision for loan losses increased 3.7 percent to $43.9 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to $42.3 million for the same period
last year. This increase was due to the growth in the average balance of our
loan portfolio, a decrease in the average balance of low yielding short-term
and overnight investments, and an increase in the average balance of higher
yielding investment securities held-to- maturity as compared to the same period
last year. The decline in the average balance of short-term and overnight
investment securities was a result of the termination of the RAL program, which
generated a substantial level of liquidity during the quarter ended March 31,
2004. The Bank invested this additional liquidity in short-term and overnight
investments, which earned a lower yield than the Bank earns on its current
investment portfolio. The increase in net interest income was partially offset
by additional interest expense incurred due to the growth in the average
balance of our interest bearing liabilities as compared to the same period last
year, deposits repricing to higher current market interest rates, and the
addition of new borrowings at higher current market interest rates.
Non-interest income was $489,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005,
compared to $14.4 million for the same period last year. During the six months
ended June 30, 2004, non-interest income consisted of fee income earned in
connection with the RAL program consisting of $9.3 million of net premiums on
the sale of RAL loans and $4.6 million of processing and administrative fees.
The provision for loan losses was $2.3 million for the six months ended June
30, 2005, compared to $2.4 million for the same period last year. These
provisions for loan losses were recorded to provide reserves adequate to
support known and inherent losses in our loan portfolio and for specific
reserves as of June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
General and administrative expenses increased to $22.3 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2005, compared to $21.8 million for the same period last
year. As discussed above, the increase in general and administrative expenses
was caused by the additional overhead expenses incurred in connection with the
national expansion of our loan production platform over the same period last
year. The Company's efficiency ratio (defined as recurring general and
administrative expenses as percentage of net revenue) was 50.3 percent for the
six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to 38.5 percent for the same period
last year, due to the decline in net revenue earned as a result of the
termination of the RAL program.
Loan production was $878.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005,
compared to $413.2 million for the same period last year. During the current
six month period, the Bank originated $186.3 million of commercial real estate
loans, $149.4 million of small balance multi-family real estate loans, $47.0
million of entertainment finance loans, $2.4 million of franchise loans, and
its wholesale loan operations completed acquisitions consisting of $493.2
million of small balance multi-family real estate loans. Loan production for
the same period last year consisted of $236.0 million of commercial real estate
loans, $94.0 million of small balance multi-family real estate loans, $42.0
million of entertainment finance loans and $41.2 million of franchise loans.
Total assets increased $521.8 million to $2.8 billion at June 30, 2005,
compared to $2.3 billion at December 31, 2004. The increase in total assets
was primarily due to a $566.6 million increase in our loan portfolio, partially
offset by a $54.5 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents and a $26.3
million decline in investment securities held-to-maturity.
At June 30, 2005, nonperforming assets totaled $13.7 million or 0.48 percent of
total assets as compared to $14.7 million or 0.63 percent as of December 31,
2004. The allowance for loan loss coverage ratio (defined as the allowance for
loan losses divided by non-accrual loans) at June 30, 2005, was 273.4 percent as
compared to 242.2 percent at December 31, 2004.
The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of our total loans was 1.6
percent at June 30, 2005, as compared to 1.9 percent at December 31, 2004. The
decrease in this percentage primarily reflects the decline in our overall risk
profile due to a broader geographic diversification of our real estate loan
portfolio resulting from the higher concentration of non-California small
balance multi-family loans as a percentage of our total loan portfolio. During
the quarter ended June 30, 2005, we had net charge-offs of $15,000, compared to
net recoveries of $41,000 for the same period last year.
At June 30, 2005, shareholders' equity totaled $198.2 million or 7.0 percent of
total assets. For the second quarter of 2005, we repurchased 89,900 shares at
an average price of $49.21 per share. For the six months ended June 30, 2005,
we repurchased 266,698 shares at an average price of $52.32. Since beginning
share repurchases in April 1997, a total of 3,136,200 shares were repurchased
returning approximately $81.2 million of capital to our shareholders at an
average price of $25.89 per share. Through our stock repurchase program, over
100 percent of the contributed capital from our initial and secondary stock
offerings has been returned to shareholders. The Company's book value per
share of common stock was $36.14 as of June 30, 2005, an increase of 3.0
percent and 6.0 percent, respectively, from $35.09 per share as of December 31,
2004 and $34.11 per share as of June 30, 2004.
The Bank had Tier 1 leverage, Tier 1 risk based and total risk-based capital
ratios at June 30, 2005 of 9.31 percent, 10.05 percent and 11.30 percent,
respectively, which represents $108.2 million, $94.2 million and $30.3 million,
respectively, of capital in excess of the amount required to be "well
capitalized" for regulatory purposes. In addition, the Company, the Bank's
holding company, had Tier 1 leverage, Tier 1 risk based and total risk-based
capital ratios at June 30, 2005 of 10.16 percent, 10.98 percent, and 13.03
percent, respectively, which represents $132.2 million, $118.0 million and
$71.8 million, respectively, of capital in excess of the amount required to be
"well capitalized".
Haligowski concluded: "I anticipate that the remainder of the year will
continue to present us with a challenging lending environment and that current
market conditions will continue to tighten. Regardless, we're excited by the
progress we've achieved thus far, and look forward to further establishing our
presence outside of California."
