VANCOUVER, Wash. Oct. 20, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Riverview Bancorp, Inc. (Nasdaq:RVSB - News) today reported it earned $202,000, or $0.02 per diluted share, for its second fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2009. This compares to net income of $343,000, or $0.03 per diluted share, in the preceding quarter and a net loss of $4.2 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, in the second fiscal quarter a year ago. Second quarter 2010 earnings reflect continued improvement in our core business fundamentals, including an improvement in our net interest margin and branch deposit growth.

For the first six months of fiscal 2010, Riverview earned $545,000, or $0.05 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $3.4 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, in the first six months of fiscal 2009.

"Our second quarter operating performance was very sound," said Pat Sheaffer, Chairman and CEO. "We have continued our commitment to sound business fundamentals and relationship-based banking. Our capital position remains strong as we increased our total risk-based capital ratio 51 basis points to 12.42%. We have continued to grow customer deposits, with branch deposits increasing $20.3 million during the quarter. Our net interest margin expanded 10 basis points to 4.35%. We have also made steady progress in strengthening Riverview's operations, with pre-tax, pre-provision earnings increasing to $3.4 million for the quarter."

Capital and Liquidity

"Increasing our capital and liquidity position continues to remain a top priority for management during fiscal 2010," said Sheaffer. "We continue to make progress on our strategic goal of strengthening our capital levels, increasing our total risk-based capital and Tier 1 leverage capital ratios to 12.42% and 10.20%, respectively, compared to 11.91% and 9.50% at June 30, 2009. The progress made in increasing our capital ratios was accomplished primarily through the planned strategic balance sheet restructuring that we implemented during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009. We have continued to reduce loan balances, specifically focusing on the residential construction portfolio, coupled with growth in our residential one-to-four family mortgage portfolio."

"We diligently monitor our liquidity position and our anticipated liquidity needs," added Sheaffer. "As we have mentioned before, we have significant liquidity available to us, including over $288 million of borrowing capacity from the Federal Home Loan Bank and the Federal Reserve Bank, and an additional $58 million in liquidity from our cash and short-term investments, borrowing lines at correspondent banks and available wholesale markets, including brokered deposits. These liquidity sources are in addition to our solid customer deposit base."

Credit Quality

"Our loan portfolio remains diversified by both type and size and our asset quality metrics are holding steady; however, the housing market in Southwest Washington and Portland remains under stress, causing us to continue to build our allowance for loan losses," said Dave Dahlstrom, EVP and Chief Credit Officer. "During the second fiscal quarter we reported a provision expense of $3.2 million, compared to net charge-offs of $2.9 million, and we expect to continue reporting higher than historical provision expenses throughout the remainder of the year." The provision expense compares to $2.4 million in the preceding quarter and $7.2 million in the second fiscal quarter a year ago. The higher than normal provision expense was due to the continuing effect of the current economic conditions, the softening real estate market plus a higher level of net loans charge-offs. Charge-offs during the second quarter were comprised primarily of a condominium construction loan and two commercial loans totaling $1.9 million.

Non-performing loans (NPLs) improved during the quarter to $36.1 million, representing 4.82% of total loans at September 30, 2009, compared to $41.1 million, or 5.28% of total loans three months earlier. The $5.0 million decrease in NPLs from the previous quarter was primarily due to the transfer of a condominium construction loan into real estate owned (REO) totaling $5.7 million. Land acquisition and development loans and speculative construction loans, represent $25.9 million, or 71.8%, of the total non-performing loan balance at September 30, 2009. All of the loans are to borrowers located in Oregon and Washington, with the exception of one land acquisition and development loan totaling $1.4 million to a long-time Washington-based customer whose property is located in Southern California.

Non-performing assets remained stable at $56.6 million, or 6.55% of total assets, as of September 30, 2009 compared to $57.1 million, or 6.20% of total assets three months earlier. The allowance for loan losses was $18.1 million at quarter-end, equal to 2.41% of total loans, compared to 2.28% at June 30, 2009, and 2.05% a year ago. The increase in the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans is indicative of the continued economic uncertainty. Loans delinquent 31-89 days totaled $14.7 million, or 1.97% of total loans at September 30, 2009, compared to $11.9 million, or 1.53% of total loans at the end of June 2009, and $15.5 million, or 1.94% of total loans at the end of March 2009.

The Company has placed much emphasis on its commercial real estate portfolio, where we continue to monitor and stress test this portfolio. Based on results of the most recent stress test performed, we believe that any potential problems within this portfolio will result from individual loans and not from the portfolio as a whole. The total commercial real estate loan portfolio was $335.9 million as of September 30, 2009, compared to $327.4 million as of March 31, 2009. Of this total, 29% are owner occupied, and 71% are non-owner occupied as of September 30, 2009. Of the total commercial real estate portfolio, only two loans totaling $775,000, or 0.23% of the portfolio, were past due 30-89 days as of September 30, 2009. There were no loans in this portfolio more than 90 days past due. Management believes that its conservative underwriting standards for this portfolio, including a minimum debt service coverage ratio of 1.20 and a maximum loan-to-value of 75%, will help to protect the Company from future potential losses.

The allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans was 50.08% at September 30, 2009 compared to 43.30% at June 30, 2009. At September 30, 2009, $33.3 million, or 92% of the Company's non-performing loans, were reserved for or written down to their net realizable value. The total specific allowance for these non-performing loans was $4.4 million, or 13.2% of the outstanding loan balance. Management believes the low amount of specific allowance required for these non-performing loans reflects Riverview's conservative philosophy and underwriting standards. Most of the Company's non-performing assets are secured by real estate.

During the quarter, Riverview sold eight properties totaling $3.2 million, and transferred a condominium construction project totaling $5.7 million into REO, resulting in REO of $20.5 million at September 30, 2009. Included in REO are 38 properties limited to 24 lending relationships. These properties consist of ten single-family homes totaling $2.8 million, 23 residential building lots totaling $2.7 million, three finished subdivision properties totaling $4.3 million, one land development property totaling $5.0 million and one condo project totaling $5.7 million. All REO is located in Oregon and Washington.

Balance Sheet Review

The Company originated $46.6 million in new loans during the quarter, however, net loans decreased to $730.2 million at September 30, 2009 due primarily to Riverview's planned balance sheet restructuring strategy, which includes reducing the loan portfolio to preserve capital. Riverview continued to target reductions in residential construction related sectors within its loan portfolio, with an added focus on growing commercial and commercial real estate loans. At September 30, 2009, commercial and commercial real estate loans account for 75% of the total loan portfolio, compared to 73% of the loan portfolio three months earlier, while construction loans account for less than 13% of the loan portfolio, compared to 16% three months earlier. Total loan originations during the first six months of fiscal 2010 were $105.2 million.

Total construction loans as of September 30, 2009 decreased 24% from June 30, 2009. Within the construction loan portfolio, the residential construction portfolio is $42.3 million, or 5.7% of the total loan portfolio. "We have remained proactive in reducing our exposure to residential construction loans with speculative construction loans representing just $35.5 million of the residential construction portfolio at quarter-end, compared to $47.0 million three months earlier and $66.6 million a year ago," said Sheaffer. "The total land and speculative construction loan portfolio was also reduced to $120.2 million, compared to $134.9 million at the end of the previous quarter and $166.3 million a year ago."

During the quarter the Company continued to expand upon the strong customer deposit growth it experienced during the first quarter of fiscal 2010. Total deposits increased to $662.5 million at September 30, 2009, compared to $649.1 million three months earlier, and $637.5 million at September 30, 2008. "We continue to take advantage of new deposit opportunities in our marketplace as customers are shifting away from some of the larger institutions in our markets," said Ron Wysaske, President and COO. "As a result, we have been successful at attracting a new customer base to Riverview, which is evident by our customer branch deposit growth." Customer branch deposits increased $20.3 million during the quarter to $629.8 million at September 30, 2009. Core deposits, comprised of checking, savings and money market accounts, currently represent 57% of total deposits and certificates of deposits represent 43% of total deposits.

During the quarter, the Company used its excess cash reserves and increased deposit base to pay down its Federal Reserve Bank advances by $70 million. At September 30, 2009, total borrowings were $80.0 million compared to $150.0 million at June 30, 2009 and $122.9 million at March 31, 2009. Riverview continues to have no wholesale-brokered deposits in its deposit mix, instead choosing to focus on deposit growth within its retail branch network.

Operating Results

Net interest income for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 increased 3.1% to $8.9 million compared to $8.6 million in the second quarter a year ago. For the first six months of fiscal 2010, net interest income increased 3.4% to $17.6 million compared to $17.0 million in the same period in fiscal 2009. For the second quarter of fiscal 2010 the net interest margin improved to 4.35% compared to 4.25% in the previous linked quarter and 4.18% in the second quarter a year ago. "Again this quarter we experienced a decrease in the cost of deposits as well as an increase in the yield on loans, which contributed to our expanding net interest margin for the quarter and for the year-to-date period," said Kevin Lycklama, EVP and CFO. "This was despite the reversal of interest on loans placed on non-accrual status during the quarter, which accounted for a 6 basis point decrease in the quarterly net interest margin."

Non-interest income was $1.8 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2010, compared to $2.1 million in the previous quarter. During the quarter, the Company took a $201,000 other than temporary impairment (OTTI) charge on an investment in a trust preferred pooled security. The amortized cost of the security was $3.5 million at September 30, 2009. Fee income from Riverview Asset Management Corp. totaled $465,000 during the second quarter, compared to $509,000 for the previous quarter and $547,000 in the second quarter a year ago. Gains on sale of loans held for sale were $159,000 in the second quarter compared to $401,000 in the previous quarter and $81,000 in the second quarter a year ago. The decrease from the prior linked quarter was due to the significant increase in refinancing activity during the first quarter of fiscal 2010 as a result of a decrease in mortgage interest rates.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2010, non-interest expense was $7.3 million compared to $8.0 million in the preceding quarter and $6.7 million in the second quarter a year ago. Included in non-interest expense are several categories that are outside of the control of the Company, including FDIC insurance assessments and REO related expenses. FDIC insurance premiums increased $288,000 during the quarter compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2009, reflecting the industry-wide increase in assessments from the FDIC. REO related expenses and professional fees primarily associated with non-performing loans were $468,000 during the quarter.

In its continuing effort to reduce controllable costs, the Company made the decision to close its downtown Portland branch as of September 30, 2009. This branch was acquired as part of the Company's acquisition of American Pacific Bank in 2005. The decision to close this branch was primarily due to the expiration of the lease along with the low transaction volume at this location. Due to the Company's proactive efforts in working with its deposit customers, along with current bank products including remote deposit capture and Internet Banking, the Company anticipates that substantially all of these deposit accounts will be absorbed within the Company's existing branch network. In addition, the Company made the decision to close its loan production office in Clackamas, Oregon. All employees at both of these locations were transferred to other positions within the Company. "We are pleased that despite these closures, we were able to find new positions for all of our employees," stated Wysaske. The closure of these locations is expected to save approximately $350,000 per year from the reduction of rent and related expenses.

The efficiency ratio improved to 67.87% during the quarter, compared to 74.08% during the preceding quarter and 91.53% during the second quarter a year ago. Year-to-date, the efficiency ratio was 70.98% compared to 74.81% for the same period a year ago. Although management remains focused on managing controllable costs, it expects its efficiency ratio to remain at higher than normal levels during fiscal year 2010 as a result of the increase in FDIC insurance premiums and REO related expenses.

Shareholders' Equity

Shareholders' equity improved to $89.6 million at September 30, 2009, compared to $89.1 million three months earlier and $88.1 million a year ago. Book value per share improved to $8.20 at quarter-end, compared to $8.16 at June 30, 2009 and $8.06 a year ago and tangible book value per share improved to $5.78 at quarter-end, compared to $5.73 at June 30, 2009 and $5.65 a year earlier. Tangible shareholder equity increased to 7.5% of tangible assets at September 30, 2009 compared the 7.0% at June 30, 2009 and 7.1% at September 30, 2008.

About Riverview

Riverview Bancorp, Inc. (www.riverviewbank.com) is headquartered in Vancouver, Washington - just north of Portland, Oregon on the I-5 corridor. With assets of $864 million, it is the parent company of the 86 year-old Riverview Community Bank, as well as Riverview Mortgage and Riverview Asset Management Corp. There are 17 branches, including ten in Clark County, two in Multnomah County and three lending centers. The Bank offers true community banking services, focusing on providing the highest quality service and financial products to commercial and retail customers.

Financial measures that exclude taxes and loan loss provisions, and intangible assets are non-GAAP measures. To provide investors with a broader understanding of earnings, the Company provided non-GAAP financial measures for total income and tangible common equity, along with the GAAP measure of total income, in an effort to isolate the Company's core business operations and capital adequacy. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they allow for greater transparency, facilitate comparisons to prior periods and competitor's results and assist in forecasting performance for future periods because they exclude items we believe to be outside the normal operating results.

Statements concerning future performance, developments or events, concerning expectations for growth and market forecasts, and any other guidance on future periods, constitute forward-looking statements, which are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that might cause actual results to differ materially from stated objectives. These factors include but are not limited to: RVSB's ability to acquire shares according to internal repurchase guidelines, regional economic conditions and the company's ability to efficiently manage expenses. Additional factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are disclosed in Riverview Bancorp's recent filings with the SEC, including but not limited to Annual Reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K.
