YONKERS, N.Y., Jan. 31, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Hudson Valley Holding Corp. (NYSE: HVB) today reported fourth quarter and 12 month results for 2012, while detailing its plans for focusing capital and investment on growing the bank's New York market operations, fee-generating businesses and a more diversified loan portfolio.
"Serving small- and mid-sized commercial customers and their principals, professional service firms and not-for-profit organizations in metro New York is what we've always done best," President and Chief Executive Officer Stephen R. Brown said. "What's changing is the number and diversity of products and services we're offering our niche customers, in order to take share in our target market segments and grow in metro New York. As a strong, local bank with ample capital to meet the needs of our customers and communities, Hudson Valley is implementing a transformational strategy to successfully navigate a rapidly evolving business landscape."
The parent company of Hudson Valley Bank earned $3.1 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2012, compared to net income of $3.1 million, or $0.16 per share, in the third quarter of 2012 and a net loss of $22.9 million, or $1.18 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2011. For the 12 months of 2012, the company reported net income of $29.2 million, or $1.49 per share, compared to a net loss of $2.1 million, or $0.11 per share for 2011. Prior year losses reflected write downs associated with the transfer of loans to held-for-sale status at December 31, 2011, while the gains from the successful sales of those same loans in the first quarter of 2012 boosted net income for the 12 months of 2012 by $9.4 million on an after-tax basis.
Fourth Quarter Results
Cash totaled $827.5 million at December 31, 2012, up from $78.1 million just one year prior, as a result of the company's successful first quarter 2012 loan sales and continued cash flows generated by the bank's loan and securities portfolios. Excess cash awaiting deployment and the prolonged low interest rate environment dampened the yield on interest-earning assets to 3.50 percent in the fourth quarter of 2012, compared to 3.84 percent in the linked quarter and 4.92 percent in the fourth quarter of 2011. Even with its excess cash position, Hudson Valley's net interest margin was 3.28 percent in the fourth quarter of 2012, compared to 3.60 percent in the linked quarter and 4.60 percent in the fourth quarter of 2011.
The company's historically low average cost of deposits continued to drop to 0.21 percent in the fourth quarter of 2012, 1 basis point lower than the linked quarter and 11 basis points below the fourth quarter of 2011.
The year ending December 31, 2012 saw continued growth of Hudson Valley's low-cost core deposit base, which represented 96 percent of total deposits at year end. Core deposits, which exclude time deposits greater than $100,000, totaled $2.4 billion at December 31, 2012, representing an increase of $107.9 million over the core deposit balance at December 31, 2011.
Hudson Valley's service charge revenue, which continued to reflect industry wide pressure, was $1.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2012, compared to $1.5 million in the linked quarter and $1.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2011. At the same time Hudson Valley's investment management fees remained relatively stable at about $2.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2012, the linked quarter and the year-ago quarter. Total non-interest income was $4.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2012, compared to $4.4 million in the linked quarter and $4.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2011.
The bank's 2012 commitment to retaining key talent in support of growth opportunities and to address industry regulatory requirements is reflected in salaries and benefits expense, which totaled $11.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2012, compared to $11.4 million in the linked quarter and $8.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2011.
Commercial Loan Portfolio
In the fourth quarter of 2012 the company demonstrated continued progress toward diversifying its lending base among new and existing customers in its metro New York markets. Commercial and industrial (C&I) loan balances grew by $22.7 million, or 34 percent annualized, over the third quarter and by $70.3 million, or 32 percent, over the fourth quarter of 2011. Totaling $288.8 million at December 31, 2012, C&I rose to its highest level since March 31, 2009 and comprised 20 percent of total loans, up from nearly 18 percent at September 30, 2012 and less than 14 percent at the end of the fourth quarter of 2011.
As the company continues to reduce its overall concentration of commercial real estate (CRE) lending, CRE balances, including construction and multi-family loans, declined to $821.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2012, compared to $884.1 million and $1.0 billion in the linked and year ago quarters, respectively. CRE represented 292 percent of risk-based capital at December 31, 2012, again within its previously disclosed commitment to maintain concentration levels below 400 percent.
Portfolio Credit Quality
Overall portfolio trends continue to reflect a gradually improving credit environment across Hudson Valley's niche commercial franchise in metropolitan New York. The bank's improved asset quality measures also reflect its first quarter 2012 sale of $474 million in held-for-sale loans, including $27.8 million in nonperforming loans held-for-sale.
Hudson Valley's total nonperforming assets (NPAs), including nonaccrual loans, nonaccrual loans held for sale, accruing loans delinquent over 90 days and other real estate owned (OREO), were $35.1 million at December 31, 2012, compared to $42.6 million at September 30, 2012 and $58.9 million at December 31, 2011. NPAs totaled 1.21 percent of total assets at December 31, 2012, compared to 1.45 percent at September 30, 2012 and 2.11 percent at December 31, 2011.
Reflecting generally improving credit trends, net charge-offs declined to $3.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2012, compared to $4.3 million and $66.1 million in the linked and year-ago quarters, respectively. As a percentage of average loans, annualized net charge-offs were 0.82 percent in the fourth quarter of 2012, compared to 1.16 percent in the third quarter of 2012 and 13.0 percent in the fourth quarter of 2011.
The bank's provision for loan losses in the fourth quarter of 2012 was $1.5 million, compared to $3.7 million in the linked quarter and $54.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2011.
The bank's allowance for loan losses was $26.6 million at December 31, 2012, compared to $28.1 million at September 30, 2012 and $30.7 million at December 31, 2011. The allowance measured 1.81 percent, 1.86 percent and 1.95 percent of total loans at each of those dates, respectively.
At December 31, 2012, classified assets represented 36.2 percent of risk-based capital, above its previously disclosed target of below 25 percent.
Focus on Strength, Growth
The company also detailed plans for focusing capital and investment on growing Hudson Valley Bank's strong and successful New York market operations, fee-generating businesses and a more diversified array of loan products for small- and mid-sized commercial customers and their principals, professional service firms and not-for-profit organizations in metropolitan New York.
Optimizing Branch Network and Efficiency
These plans include optimizing the efficiency of its branch network, including the consolidation or divestiture of Hudson Valley's six Connecticut locations, representing less than three percent of its $2.5 billion in total deposits, by the middle of 2013. Since entering Connecticut five years ago, the bank's branches there have gathered just $12 million in deposits each, on average, and the critical mass and traction necessary for long-term success in that market has not been realized. The company anticipates annual net savings in excess of $2 million as a result of this action.
Hudson Valley's New York market branches average nearly $80 million in deposits each, and focusing investment and capital there is designed to make the bank an even stronger and more aggressive competitor in communities the company has served for so long and so well, particularly in Westchester and Rockland counties and the Bronx, Brooklyn and Manhattan.
Since its inception, Hudson Valley's culture of expense control has historically made it one of the industry's most efficient operators. All expenses will be managed to better optimize efficiency, even as the bank continues to make investments to drive specific growth opportunities, balance sheet diversity and address industry regulatory requirements. At the same time, investments in people and systems are enabling the company to be more proactive in the market, strengthened by processes that will help the bank mitigate risk as it identifies and capitalizes on new business and growth opportunities.
For the fourth quarter of 2012, Hudson Valley's efficiency ratio was 75.7 percent, compared to 69.3 percent in the third quarter of 2012 and 52.8 percent in the fourth quarter of 2011. The increase was largely driven by a decline in net interest income, rather than increases in non-interest expense.
Loan Portfolio Diversification
In the second half of 2012, Hudson Valley began focusing capital and investment on developing new middle market, small business and other non-CRE business lending products to successfully grow and diversify its loan portfolio, without compromising credit quality, risk management or market strength. Significant investments have been made to date to lay the foundation for Hudson Valley's diversification strategy. Throughout 2012, it converted and enhanced much of its technology and critically assessed the necessary talent to support loan origination, underwriting and risk management for an expanded loan portfolio, and the bank submitted its action plan to its regulators. With these steps successfully accomplished, the company will focus on execution in 2013.
Balanced Approach to Capital Management and Dividends
To fuel the growth of its fee generating businesses and a more diversified loan portfolio, Hudson Valley intends to accumulate internally generated capital at a faster rate by lowering its cash dividend. Balancing immediate returns to stockholders with long-term stockholder value creation, the board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.06 per share. The dividend is payable on February 22, 2013 to all common stock shareholders of record as of the close of business on February 11, 2013.
Hudson Valley is lowering its dividend even as it has maintained high regulatory capital ratios. At December 31, 2012, Hudson Valley Holding Corp. posted a total risk-based capital ratio of 17.7 percent, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 16.5 percent, and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 9.3 percent. Its Hudson Valley Bank subsidiary at December 31, 2012 posted a total risk-based capital ratio of 17.4 percent, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 16.2 percent, and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 9.2 percent.
2013 Outlook
As part of its strategy for focusing capital and investment on growing its New York market, fee-generating businesses and more diversified loan portfolio, Hudson Valley has targeted non-interest expense reductions of approximately 5 percent for the 12 months of 2013, compared to 2012.
Hudson Valley is also focused on growing fee income, principally from its trust services and investment management businesses, both organically and through targeted acquisitions of talent, portfolios and firms in these non-bank businesses.
In addition, the bank is targeting total loan growth of about 10 percent, with total loan originations or purchases projected to exceed $200 million as Hudson Valley continues to diversify its product offering.
The company's targeted expense reductions and loan growth initiatives are estimates and we can provide no assurances that such targets can be met.
Fourth Quarter and Twelve Month Review
The Company recorded net income for the three month period ended December 31, 2012 of $3.1 million or $0.16 per diluted share, an increase of $26.0 million compared to a net loss of $22.9 million or $1.18 per diluted share for the same period in the prior year. Net income for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2012 was $29.2 million or $1.49 per diluted share, an increase of $31.3 million compared to a net loss of $2.1 million or $0.11 per diluted share for the same period in the prior year.
The increases in earnings for the three and twelve month periods ended December 31, 2012, compared to the same periods in the prior year, were primarily due to significant additions in 2011 to the provision for loan losses which totaled $54.6 million and $64.1 million, respectively, for the three and twelve month periods ended December 31, 2011, compared to $1.5 million and $8.5 million, respectively for the same periods in 2012. The large provision in the fourth quarter of 2011 resulted from write-downs associated with the transfer of $473.8 million of loans to the held-for-sale status in anticipation of bulk loan sales completed in the first quarter of 2012. The loan sales were conducted to reduce both classified loans and the Company's overall concentration in commercial real estate loans. The increases in earnings for the three and twelve month periods ended December 31, 2012, compared to the same periods in the prior year, were significantly offset by decreases in net interest income of $8.3 million and $14.6 million, respectively, the result of excess liquidity remaining from the proceeds of loan sales conducted in the first and second quarters of 2012. In addition to the decrease in net interest income, earnings for the three month period ended December 31, 2012, compared to the same period in the prior year, reflected slightly lower noninterest income and higher non interest expenses. The increase in earnings for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2012, compared to the same period in the prior year, also reflected a pretax gain of $15.9 million resulting from the successful completion of loan sales announced in the fourth quarter of 2011 and completed at the end of the first quarter of 2012, partially offset by slightly lower noninterest income and higher non interest expenses.
Total loans, excluding loans held for sale, decreased $37.9 million and $106.2 million during the three and twelve month periods ended December 31, 2012 compared to the prior periods. The overall decrease was primarily the result of pay downs and payoffs of existing loans exceeding new production and additional loan sales conducted in the second quarter of 2012, partially offset by the purchase of adjustable rate residential loans in the first quarter of 2012, which were purchased as partial redeployment of proceeds from sales of loans held for sale. The Company continues to provide lending availability to both new and existing customers.
Nonperforming assets decreased to $35.1 million at December 31, 2012, compared to $58.9 million at December 31, 2011. Overall asset quality continued to be adversely affected by the current state of the economy and the real estate market. Although there is evidence that the current economic downturn may have begun to slowly turn around, higher than normal levels of delinquent and nonperforming loans, slowdowns in repayments and declines in the loan-to-value ratios on existing loans continued during 2012. Despite overall reductions in classified and nonperforming loans, the Company's loan portfolio continued to be adversely impacted by the lagging effects of declines in the demand for and values of virtually all commercial and residential real estate properties. These declines, together with the limited availability of residential mortgage financing, resulted in some continuing weakness in the overall asset quality of the Company's loan portfolio. As a result of these factors, the Company has continued to follow aggressive strategies for resolving problem assets and has maintained the allowance for loan losses at a higher than normal level. The provision for loan losses totaled $1.5 million and $8.5 million, respectively, for the three and twelve month periods ended December 31, 2012, reflecting improvements achieved in the resolutions of classified and nonperforming loans, partially offset by continued weakness in the overall economy, and the related effects of this weakness on the Company's overall asset quality.
Total deposits increased by $94.7 million during the twelve month period ended December 31, 2012, compared to the prior year end. The Company continued to emphasize its core deposit growth, while placing less emphasis on non core deposits including deposits which are obtained on a bid basis.
Liquidity from deposit growth and excess loan and investment repayments over new production was retained in the Company's short-term liquidity portfolios, available to fund future loan growth. With interest rates remaining at historical low levels, this increase in liquidity contributed to significant margin compression. The net interest margin was 3.28 percent and 3.88 percent, respectively, for the three and twelve month periods ended December 31, 2012, compared to 4.60 percent and 4.50 percent, respectively, for the same periods in the prior year. The Company expects some additional net interest margin compression in future quarters due to maturing loans and investments being reinvested at lower interest rates and until redeployment of the excess proceeds from the recent loan sales and other maturing assets can be completed in a manner consistent with both the Company's risk management policies and the requirements of the OCC. Regardless of the timing of the aforementioned redeployment, if interest rates continue at current levels, it is expected that additional downward pressure on net interest margin will continue.
As a result of the aforementioned activity in the Company's core businesses of loans and deposits and other asset/liability management activities, tax equivalent basis net interest income decreased by $8.5 million or 27.2 percent to $22.8 million for the three month period ended December 31, 2012, compared to $31.3 million for the same period in the prior year. Tax equivalent basis net interest income decreased by $14.9 million or 12.4 percent to $105.3 million for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2012, compared to $120.2 million for the same period in the prior year. The effect of the adjustment to a tax equivalent basis was $0.4 million and $1.9 million, respectively, for the three and twelve month periods ended December 31, 2012, compared to $0.5 million and $2.3 million, respectively, for the same periods in the prior year.
The Company's non interest income was $4.3 million and $33.8 million, respectively, for the three and twelve month periods ended December 31, 2012, compared to $4.1 million and $18.9 million, respectively, for the same periods in the prior year. Non interest income increased slightly for the three month period ended December 31, 2012, compared to the same period in the prior year, reflecting lower net losses on sales and revaluations of assets and higher other income, partially offset by lower service fees and lower investment advisory fees. The increase in the twelve month period ended December 31, 2012, compared to the same period in the prior year, resulted from a $15.9 million pretax gain on sales of loans completed in the first quarter of 2012 and higher other income, partially offset by lower service fees, lower investment advisory fees and higher impairment charges on securities available-for-sale. Investment advisory fee income was lower in 2012 primarily as a result of the effects of continued fluctuation in both domestic and international equity markets. Service charges decreased due to decreased activity. Pre-tax impairment charges on securities available for sale were $0.5 million for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2012 and $0.4 million for the same period in the prior year. The impairment charges were related to the Company's investments in pooled trust preferred securities. Non interest income also included other losses of $0.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively, for the three and twelve month periods ended December 31, 2011. These losses related to sales and revaluations of other real estate owned and loans held for sale.
Non interest expense was $20.6 million and $82.5 million, respectively, for the three and twelve month periods ended December 31, 2012. This represented increases of $1.6 million or 8.4 percent and $2.3 million or 2.9 percent, respectively, compared to $19.0 million and $80.2 million, respectively, for the same periods in the prior year. The overall increase in non interest expense resulted primarily from an additional provision of $1.3 million related to the previously announced ongoing investigations by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Department of Labor (DOL) relating to issues surrounding the brokerage practices and policies and disclosures about such practices of the Company's investment advisory subsidiary, A.R. Schmeidler & Co., Inc. Based on ongoing discussions with the SEC and the DOL, the Company believes it has substantially accrued for any penalties and related costs anticipated in the final resolution of this matter although, until final agreement is reached, the exact result cannot be determined. Other changes in non interest expense included decreases in costs associated with problem loan resolution and decreases in occupancy expenses, partially offset by increases in FDIC insurance and increases in investments in technology and personnel to accommodate expanding risk management requirements and growth and the expansion of services and products available to new and existing customers.
Hudson Valley's capital ratios remain significantly in excess of "well capitalized" levels generally applicable to banks under current regulations. At December 31, 2012, Hudson Valley Holding Corp. posted a total risk-based capital ratio of 17.7 percent, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 16.5 percent, and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 9.3 percent.
Non-GAAP Financial Disclosures and Reconciliation to GAAP
In addition to evaluating Hudson Valley Holding Corp's results of operations in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), management routinely supplements this evaluation with an analysis of certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as the tangible equity ratio and tangible book value per share. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide information useful to investors in understanding Hudson Valley Holding Corp's underlying operating performance and trends, and facilitates comparisons with the performance of other banks. Further, the tangible equity ratio and tangible book value per share are used by management to analyze the relative strength of Hudson Valley Holding Corp's capital position.
In light of diversity in presentation among financial institutions, the methodologies used by Hudson Valley Holding Corp. for determining the non-GAAP financial measures discussed above may differ from those used by other financial institutions.

These are non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes that this alternate presentation more closely reflects actual performance, as it is more consistent with the Company's stated asset/liability management strategies which have not resulted in significant realization of temporary market gains or losses on securities available for sale which were primarily related to changes in interest rates. As noted in the Company's 2012 Proxy Statement, net income as a percentage of adjusted average stockholders' equity is one of several factors utilized by management to determine total compensation. (2) Tangible equity ratio and tangible book value for share are non-GAAP financial measurements. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide information useful to investors in understanding the Company's underlying operating performance and trends, and facilitates comparisons with the performance of other banks and are used by management to analyze the relative strength of the Company's capital position
