Operating earnings for the quarter ended December 31, 2013 totaled $5.7 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, an increase of 12.7% compared to $5.1 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2013, and an increase from an operating loss of $0.1 million, or $0.00 per diluted share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2012. Operating earnings exclude transaction-related expenses, bargain purchase gain on acquisitions, acquisition-related gains, and gain (loss) on sale of securities, and include preferred stock dividends.

Operating earnings for the year ended December 31, 2013 totaled $19.1 million, or $0.71 per diluted share, as compared to an operating loss of $3.3 million, or ($0.19) per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $17.2 million, an increase of 65.0% when compared to net income of $10.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. Net income available to common shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $16.2 million, or $0.61 per diluted share, an increase of 101.1% compared to net income available to common shareholders of $8.0 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2012. The financial results for the year ended December 31, 2012 include $12.7 million of pre-tax bargain purchase gain the Company recorded on the acquisitions of Carolina Federal Savings Bank ("Carolina Federal") and First Trust Bank ("First Trust"), as well as $3.0 million of pre-tax gains on the sale of investment securities.

Net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2013 was $3.3 million, a decrease of 35.2% compared to net income of $5.0 million for both the quarter ended September 30, 2013 and the quarter ended December 31, 2012. Net income available to common shareholders for the quarter ended December 31, 2013 was $3.3 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, a decrease of 35.0% compared to net income available to common shareholders of $5.0 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2013, and a decrease of 26.4% compared to net income available to common shareholders of $4.4 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2012. The financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2013 include the impact of the acquisition of Randolph, which was completed on October 1, 2013, while the results for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 include $5.0 million of pre-tax bargain purchase gain the Company recorded on the acquisition of First Trust.

Average common shares outstanding increased significantly since the second half of 2012 as a result of the Company's capital raise in June 2012, as well as common stock issued in connection with the acquisitions of KeySource Financial ("KeySource"), First Trust and Randolph. For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, average fully-diluted shares outstanding were 26.7 million and 17.6 million, respectively.

Total assets at December 31, 2013 were $3.23 billion, an increase of 4.7% as compared to total assets of $3.08 billion at December 31, 2012. The increase in assets is primarily due to the acquisition of Randolph during the fourth quarter of 2013, offset by the Company's decision to utilize excess liquidity to primarily repay higher cost deposits as they matured. This deleveraging has helped the Company execute on its strategic initiative to improve capital ratios and net interest margin. Excess liquidity was also used to purchase higher yielding investment securities, which has also contributed to the improved net interest margin.

Additional Highlights for 2013:


    --  Redeemed all Series A Preferred Stock with non-dilutive term loan;
    --  Diluted earnings per share of $0.61, compared to $0.48 per diluted share

        increase of 101.1% compared to 2012;

    --  Operating return on tangible common equity ratio of 8.79%, compared to
        (2.28%) for 2012.

Richard D. Callicutt II, President and CEO, stated, "The fourth quarter and all of 2013 were pivotal in solidifying the core earnings power of our organization. We saw significant improvement in all of our key credit metrics while growing non-acquired loans by more than 17%. We successfully completed the integration of the acquisitions from 2012 and began to see those provide a more solid platform for gains in market share. The Randolph transaction and systems conversion were both completed in late 2013, allowing us to maximize the earnings opportunity in 2014 from that transaction. Finally, the South Street and Community First announcements, both expected to close during the second quarter of 2014, have created more opportunity to leverage our infrastructure, diversify our deposit base, gain access to a client base that will benefit from an enhanced product offering and provide an additional revenue stream toward our future earnings goals. Lastly, as of October 2013, all Bank of North Carolina employees are shareholders of our Company. The ownership mentality as they perform their duties and responsibilities each day is paying off in focus, creativity and enthusiasm."

Operating Results

Fully taxable-equivalent ("FTE") net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2013 was $31.8 million, an increase of 11.9% from $28.5 million for the third quarter of 2013, and an increase of 24.1% from $25.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2012. FTE net interest margin was 4.39% for the fourth quarter of 2013, an increase of 13 basis points from 4.26% for the third quarter of 2013, and an increase of 30 basis points from 4.09% for the fourth quarter of 2012. Without the cash flow hedging expense, FTE net interest margin for the fourth quarter of 2013 was 4.76%, compared to 4.65% for the third quarter of 2013 and 4.43% for the fourth quarter of 2012.

FTE net interest income for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $115.8 million, an increase of 34.1% from $86.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. FTE net interest margin was 4.29% for the year ended December 31, 2013, an increase of 44 basis points from 3.85% for the year ended December 31, 2012. Without the cash flow hedging expense, FTE net interest margin for the year ended December 31, 2013 was 4.66%, compared to 4.21% for the comparable period of 2012.

Average interest-earning assets were $2.88 billion for the fourth quarter of 2013, an increase of 8.6% from $2.65 billion during the third quarter of 2013, and an increase of 15.4% from $2.50 billion for the fourth quarter of 2012. The increase from the third quarter of 2013 was primarily due to the interest-earning assets acquired from Randolph, along with continued loan growth in our markets and an increase in our investment securities portfolio.

Average interest-earning assets were $2.70 billion for the year ended December 31, 2013, an increase of 20.1% from $2.24 billion for the year ended December 31, 2012. The increase in average interest-earning assets from 2012 is primarily due to the full year impact of interest-earning assets acquired from Carolina Federal, KeySource and First Trust during 2012, interest-earning assets acquired from Randolph during the fourth quarter of 2013, along with continued loan growth in our markets and an increase in our investment securities portfolio.

The Company's average yield on interest-earning assets was 5.48% for the fourth quarter of 2013, an increase of 12 basis points from 5.36% for the third quarter of 2013, and an increase of 10 basis points from 5.38% for the fourth quarter of 2012. The increase from third quarter of 2013 was primarily due to the addition of higher yielding loans acquired from Randolph, as well as an increase in loan accretion from the acquired loan portfolio. The increase from the fourth quarter of 2012 was primarily due to higher loan accretion from the acquired loan portfolio, as well as the addition of higher yielding loans acquired from First Trust and Randolph. Loan accretion during the fourth quarter of 2013 totaled $4.2 million, an increase of 31.0% from loan accretion of $3.2 million for the third quarter of 2013, and an increase of 36.4% from $3.1 million of accretion recorded in the fourth quarter of 2012.

The Company's average yield on interest-earning assets was 5.41% for the year ended December 31, 2013, an increase of 10 basis points compared to 5.31% for the comparable period of 2012. The increase from 2012 was primarily due to an increase in loan accretion from the acquired loan portfolio, as well as the addition of higher yielding loans acquired from Carolina Federal, KeySource, First Trust and Randolph. Loan accretion during the year ended December 31, 2013 totaled $14.4 million, an increase of 116.7% from loan accretion of $6.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. These increases were offset by lower yields earned on investment securities due to the replacement of matured and called investments with lower yielding securities.

Average interest-bearing liabilities were $2.56 billion for the fourth quarter of 2013, an increase of 7.6% from $2.38 billion for the third quarter of 2013, and an increase of 11.6% from $2.30 billion for the fourth quarter of 2012. The increase from the third quarter of 2013 was due to additional interest-bearing liabilities acquired from Randolph, as well as increased borrowings during the fourth quarter of 2013.

Average interest-bearing liabilities were $2.43 billion for the year ended December 31, 2013, an increase of 14.2% from $2.13 billion for the year ended December 31, 2012. The increase in average interest-bearing liabilities from 2012 is primarily due to the full year impact of the acquisitions of Carolina Federal, KeySource and First Trust during 2012, increased borrowings during fiscal year 2013 and the acquisition of Randolph, offset by the Company's use of excess liquidity to primarily repay wholesale and non-core deposits as they matured.

The Company's average cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 1.23% for the fourth quarter of 2013, which is consistent with the third quarter of 2013, and a decrease of 18 basis points from 1.41% for the fourth quarter of 2012. The decrease was due to the Company's continued effort to reduce exposure to higher cost deposit products, as well as lower interest rates paid on borrowings, which was offset by continued increases in cash flow hedging expense. For the fourth quarter of 2013, cash flow hedging expenses totaled $2.7 million, compared to $2.6 million for the third quarter of 2013 and $2.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2012.

The Company's average cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 1.24% for the year ended December 31, 2013, a decrease of 31 basis points from 1.55% for the year ended December 31, 2012. This decrease was primarily due to the Company's decision to reduce exposure to higher cost deposit products and aggressively reduce deposit rates over the past three quarters, as well as reductions in interest rates paid on borrowings. These rate decreases were slightly offset by an increase in cash flow hedging expense, which totaled $9.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, compared to $7.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Non-interest income was $5.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2013, a decrease of 11.1% compared to $5.8 million for the third quarter of 2013, and a decrease of 50.2% from $10.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2012. Adjusted non-interest income was $5.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2013, a decrease of 3.3% from $5.3 million for the third quarter of 2013, and an increase of 8.3% from $4.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2012. Adjusted non-interest income excludes bargain purchase gain on acquisition, acquisition-related gains (includes income related to the subsequent settlement of a liability assumed in an acquisition) and gain (loss) on sale of securities. Service charge income increased by 35.4% from the third quarter of 2013 due to an increased volume of transactions, which was offset by a 29.0% decrease in mortgage fees due to decreases in the mortgage pipeline and reduced gain-on-sale margins.

For the year ended December 31, 2013, non-interest income was $22.8 million, a decrease of 31.2% compared to non-interest income of $33.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. Adjusted non-interest income was $21.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, an increase of 24.4% from $17.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. Adjusted non-interest income excludes bargain purchase gain on acquisitions, acquisition-related gains, gain (loss) on sale of securities and an insurance settlement received during 2013. The increase was primarily due to increased volume of mortgage originations, as the Company continued to expand commissioned originators across key target markets, as well as an increase in service charge income due to an increased volume of transactions, primarily due to our recent acquisitions.

Non-interest expense was $28.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2013, an increase of 27.6% compared to non-interest expense of $22.4 million for the third quarter of 2013, and an increase of 15.1% from $24.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2012. Excluding transaction-related costs, adjusted non-interest expense for the fourth quarter of 2013 was $24.7 million, an increase of 13.0% from $21.9 million for the third quarter of 2013, and an increase of 5.5% from $23.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2012. Transaction-related costs include legal and professional fees, personnel costs, data processing expenses, and other miscellaneous expenses directly attributable to the transaction. The increase from the third quarter of 2013 was primarily due to additional employees and facilities acquired from Randolph. The decrease from the fourth quarter of 2012 was primarily due to a reduction in valuation charges recorded on other real estate owned ("OREO") and reduced loan, foreclosure and collection expenses.

Non-interest expense was $97.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, an increase of 19.0% from $82.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. Excluding transaction-related costs, adjusted non-interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $92.2 million, an increase of 19.6% from $77.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. The increase from 2012 was primarily due to the full year impact of the additional employees and facilities purchased in connection with the acquisitions of Carolina Federal, KeySource and First Trust during 2012, as well as the acquisition of Randolph during the fourth quarter of 2013. The additional expenses were partially offset by a reduction in valuation charges recorded on OREO and reduced loan, foreclosure and collection expenses.

Additional Operating Highlights

Total portfolio loans were $2.28 billion at December 31, 2013, an increase of 11.9% from $2.04 billion at December 31, 2012. The increase has primarily been due to the loans acquired from Randolph, as well as organic growth in commercial real estate and commercial construction loans, as the economic outlook in the Company's markets continues to improve. Loans not recorded at fair value, which includes originated loans and acquired loans no longer required to be recorded at fair value, increased 21.4% during fiscal year 2013 to $1.77 billion. Included in this is $56.5 million of loans that have transferred from another loan category during 2013. Excluding these transfers, loans not recorded at fair value increased 17.6% during 2013. The table below outlines the Company's loan portfolio mix between covered and non-covered loans for the past five quarters.

Total deposits at December 31, 2013 were $2.71 billion, an increase of 1.9% from total deposits of $2.66 billion as of December 31, 2012. This increase was primarily due to deposits acquired from Randolph, offset by the Company's decision to utilize excess liquidity and the acquired securities portfolios to repay higher cost deposits as they matured, as well as aggressively reducing time deposit rates. Wholesale deposits were 32.8% of total deposits at December 31, 2013, an increase compared to 28.4% as of December 31, 2012. Transactional accounts, which are comprised of non-interest bearing and interest-bearing demand accounts, increased $127.2 million, or 8.5%, over the past twelve months. At December 31, 2013, time deposits were 40.0% of total deposits, compared to 43.7% at December 31, 2012.

At December 31, 2013, $125.6 million of these borrowings were short-term, while the remaining $101.5 million were long-term. The increase in borrowings was primarily due to additional borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank, which were used to repay higher cost deposits as they matured, as well as a term loan obtained during 2013 for the repurchase of Series A preferred stock.

The decrease in net charge-off losses during the fourth quarter of 2013 was due to an increased level of recoveries of previously charged-off loans, both covered under loss-share agreements and not covered.

    (1) Non-covered portion represents the Company's non-covered charge-offs and the 20% portion of the charge-offs relating to loans  covered under loss-share agreements.

Nonaccrual loans not covered by loss-share agreements totaled $17.1 million at December 31, 2013, a decrease of 23.7% from $22.4 million at December 31, 2012. Excluding loans covered by loss-share agreements, nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans was 0.82% as of December 31, 2013, as compared to 1.26% as of December 31, 2012. Nonaccrual loans covered by loss-share agreements totaled $23.7 million as of December 31, 2013, a decrease of 49.5% from $47.0 million at December 31, 2012. The decrease is due to the Company's sustained efforts in resolving acquired nonperforming loans.

Troubled debt restructurings ("TDRs") were $18.8 million as of December 31, 2013, of which $2.9 million was covered under loss-share. Of the $18.8 million of TDRs, $16.8 million are performing under the terms of the restructured agreements, as compared to $44.9 million of TDRs as of December 31, 2012, of which $35.9 million were performing under the terms of the restructured agreements. The decrease in performing TDRs from December 31, 2012 was primarily due to a significant amount of restructurings that are no longer required to be reported as TDRs due to contractual performance over a passage of time. The increase in TDRs from September 30, 2013 to December 31, 2013 was due to one large TDR that was previously in nonaccrual status returning to accrual status during the fourth quarter.

OREO at December 31, 2013 totaled $47.6 million, which is a decrease of 8.3% from $51.9 million at December 31, 2012. At December 31, 2013, the carrying value of OREO covered by loss-share agreements was $18.8 million, a decrease of 18.7% from $23.1 million at December 31, 2012. OREO not covered by loss-share agreements totaled $28.8 million at December 31, 2013, unchanged from December 31, 2012. The Company has sold $7.7 million and $32.8 million of OREO properties during the quarter and year ended December 31, 2013, respectively, which was offset by $4.5 million and $31.3 million of additions to OREO. These additions include $4.2 million of OREO acquired from Randolph. For the quarter and year ended December 31, 2013, the Company recorded valuation adjustments of $0.7 million and $4.2 million, respectively, a decrease from valuation adjustments of $2.7 million and $7.1 million for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2012, respectively.

Capital Position

At December 31, 2013, shareholders' equity was $271.3 million, a decrease of 3.9% from shareholders' equity of $282.2 million as of December 31, 2012. In April 2013, the Company closed on a $30.0 million term loan and used the proceeds to redeem the $31.3 million of Series A preferred stock. As a result of this redemption, the Company recorded $356,000 of additional discount accretion during the second quarter of 2013. After this redemption and the conversion of 1,804,566 shares of Series B preferred stock to non-voting common stock in February 2013, the Company no longer has any preferred stock issued or outstanding. As part of the Randolph acquisition the Company issued 726,634 shares of common stock.

All of the Bank's and Company's capital ratios are estimated to exceed the minimum thresholds established for a well-capitalized bank by regulatory measures.
