HOUSTON, Nov. 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- On November 2, 2009 Sterling Bancshares, Inc. (Nasdaq: SBIB - News), in order to sell certain nonperforming loans and further strengthen its allowance for loan losses, determined that it was necessary to record an additional loan loss provision in the amount of $28.6 million for the third quarter of 2009, or $0.23 per diluted share at September 30, 2009. This additional provision resulted in a total provision for credit losses of $56.1 million and $76.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively. The net loss applicable to common shareholders for the third quarter of 2009 was $24.7 million, or $0.30 per diluted common share and $24.1 million, or $0.31 per diluted common share for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

"We have taken steps to significantly reduce our total nonperforming loans and increase our allowance for loan losses thereby better positioning our balance sheet for future growth and profitability," said J. Downey Bridgwater, Sterling's Chairman, President, and CEO. "We were able to take these actions due to our strong capital levels."
Subsequent to announcing third quarter results on October 22, 2009, management has taken several actions to reduce nonperforming loans and further build the allowance for loan losses recorded as of September 30, 2009. The further build-up in allowance and corresponding increase in provision for loan losses was primarily driven by the following three decisions by management:
- Execution of a definitive agreement to sell $19 million in net book value loans related to Semgroup (a previously disclosed nonperforming energy loan relationship);
- Execution of a letter of intent to sell approximately $32 million in net book value commercial real estate loans out of our national SBA/Commercial Real Estate Portfolio; and
- Revision of certain accounting estimates used in determining the adequacy of our allowance for loan losses.
As a result of the above proposed loan sales, management determined that it was appropriate to provide $13.6 million in additional provision in order to record these loans at their underlying and agreed upon sales price. Management charged-off a portion of these loans against the related allowance for credit losses and reclassified these loans as held for sale at September 30, 2009. The amount of nonperforming loans that are part of these proposed loan sales totaled $42 million at September 30, 2009 and assuming both loan sale transactions are consummated, the company's nonperforming loans would be further reduced by approximately $30 million or an additional 90 basis points during the fourth quarter. These loan sales are expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2009.
Management concluded that in light of the two proposed loan sale transactions discussed above, the deterioration in the real estate market, and the continuing uncertainty in the economy, it was appropriate to revise certain accounting estimates used in determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses to better reflect current conditions. The application of these accounting estimates resulted in the Company recording an additional $15 million in provision for credit losses in the third quarter of 2009.
Sterling has built its total allowance for credit losses to loans as of September 30, 2009 to $72.9 million or 2.18% of period-end loans, up from $54.2 million or 1.53% of period-end loans linked-quarter.
Sterling's capital position remains strong with a tangible capital ratio of 7.70% at the end of the third quarter. At September 30, 2009, tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets was 11.20%, and total capital to risk-weighted assets stood at 13.95%, both well above regulatory minimums to be considered well-capitalized.

FOOTNOTES TO EARNINGS RELEASE
Page 10
(1) Earnings per share in each quarter is computed individually using the
weighted-average number of shares outstanding during that quarter while
earnings per share for the full period is computed using the weighted-
average number of shares outstanding during the year. Thus, the sum for
all quarters does not necessarily equal the full period earnings per
share.
(2) Interim periods annualized.
(3) Taxable-equivalent basis assuming a 35% tax rate.
(4) The efficiency ratio is calculated by dividing noninterest expense
less acquisition costs, hurricane related costs and a one-time severance
charge by tax equivalent basis net interest income plus noninterest income
less net gain (loss) on investment securities.
