Middleburg Financial Corporation Announces 2006 Financial Results

4:24 pm   -   February 7th, 2007

Middleburg Financial Corporation (NASDAQ:MBRG) has reported net income of $8.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. This amount was a 11.8% increase over net income of $7.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. Net income for the three months ended December 31, 2006 was $1.5 million, compared to $1.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2005.

Joseph L. Boling, Chairman and CEO stated, “We are pleased with our performance given both the pause in the real estate market and the flat yield curve. The capital we raised combined with our business model will allow us to continue our measured growth in this outstanding market.”

The Company experienced asset growth of 4.4% during 2006, with total consolidated assets of $772.3 million at December 31, 2006. The loan portfolio increased 8.5% or $44.2 million to $564.8 million at December 31, 2006. The Company’s total deposits grew 3.5% or $19.2 million to $570.6 million at December 31, 2006. The return on average assets and return on average equity were 1.05% and 12.25%, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2006. Returns on average assets and average equity were 1.05% and 13.65%, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2005. In July 2006, the Company issued 676,552 shares of its common stock in an underwritten public offering, including the exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option. The public price of $31.00 per share, less the underwriters’ commissions and expenses of the offering, resulted in net proceeds of $19.7 million to the Company. It is estimated that the return on average equity for 2006 was negatively impacted by approximately 225 basis points from the Company’s issuance of common stock.

Earnings per diluted share was $1.90 for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to $1.84 for the year ended December 31, 2005. During the fourth quarter of 2006, a one time adjustment related to the timing of the recognition of service release premium income for Southern Trust Mortgage, LLC (STM), negatively impacted the Company’s 2006 net income by approximately $117,000 or $0.03 per diluted share. The Company also realized nearly $305,000 in losses during the fourth quarter of the year in an effort to restructure the investment portfolio for improved earning potential in 2007. These losses resulted in a loss per diluted share of $0.05 for 2006.

Diluted earnings per share from core operations for the year ended December 31, 2006 increased by 22.0% or $0.32 when compared to the year ended December 31, 2005. This increase resulted from increases in interest income driven mostly by the record loan growth experienced by the Company in 2005.

The Company experienced decreases in diluted earnings per share from gains realized on the sale of investment securities, from mortgage banking and from wealth management operations. When comparing the year ended December 31, 2005 to the year ended December 31, 2006, diluted earnings per share from mortgage banking decreased by $0.15. In addition to the adjustment related to its recognition of income, earnings from mortgage banking were also negatively impacted by an overall decline in production as well as narrowed margins resulting from shifts in the mix of retail and wholesale loan volume.

Earnings from wealth management operations declined 49.0% to $0.06 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2006 when compared to $0.11 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2005. Earnings from wealth management operations consists of net income of the Middleburg Investment Group, the non-bank subsidiary of the Company that generates revenues from trust and investment advisory activities through Middleburg Trust Company (MTC), a wholly owned trust subsidiary, Middleburg Investment Advisors, Inc. (MIA), a wholly owned registered investment advisor focused on fixed income investments, and Middleburg Bank Investment Sales, which is a division of Middleburg Bank. Much of the decrease in net earnings was related to the decrease in net income generated by Middleburg Bank Investment Sales. Middleburg Bank Investment Sales net income decreased 78.0% when comparing the year ended December 31, 2005 to December 31, 2006 due to decreased sales resulting from fewer financial consultants employed during 2006. The resignation of a top producer in July 2006 particularly impacted production for the second half of 2006. The decrease in sales also resulted in a lower commission payout from BI Investments Group, LLC (BI), the Company’s full- service broker dealer. During the second half of 2006, the Company received commissions from BI equal to 82% of the sales that it generated, a decrease from 90% in 2005. The Company is in the process of recruiting additional financial consultants.

The components of net income per diluted share are summarized below:

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

The net interest margin declined from 4.11% for the year ended December 31, 2005 to 3.97% for the year ended December 31, 2006. The decrease was due to the flattening yield curve and intense competition for loans and deposits in the Company’s markets. In addition to a lack of growth in overall deposits, a shift in the composition of the Company’s deposits negatively impacted the net interest margin. Money market, savings accounts and interest checking balances decreased by $30.0 million during 2006. The weighted average cost of these accounts for 2006 was 1.86%. On the other hand, certificates of deposits increased $31.0 million and corporate investment accounts increased $4.0 million during 2006. The weighted average cost of the Company’s certificates of deposits for 2006 was 4.26% and the weighted average cost of the corporate investment accounts for 2006 was 4.15%. The net interest margin was further negatively impacted by the increased cost of the Company’s $15.0 million in outstanding trust preferred debt. The average cost of trust preferred debt was 8.26% for 2006, and the interest rate on this debt increased approximately 74 basis points during 2006.

The Company’s net interest margin is not a measurement under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, but it is a common measure used by the financial services industry to determine how profitably earning assets are funded. The Company’s net interest margin is calculated by dividing tax equivalent net interest income by average total earning assets. Tax equivalent net interest income is calculated by grossing up interest income for the amounts that are non-taxable (i.e., municipal bond income), then subtracting interest expense. The tax rate utilized is 34%. Details on the calculation of the net interest margin are included in footnote (1) following the “Key Statistics” table below.

Net interest income increased 9.3% from $24.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 to $26.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. Interest income increased 25.4%, while interest expense increased 59.4%, when comparing the year ended December 31, 2006 to the 2005 year. Interest income from loans increased $9.2 million or 31.8% when comparing the year ended December 31, 2006 to the 2005 year. While the yield on the loan portfolio had increased by 55 basis points during the year ended December 31, 2006, the majority of the increase in interest income from loans was attributed to the growth of the loan portfolio. For the year ended December 31, 2006, average loans increased 21.4% or $97.2 million. Interest income from the investment portfolio decreased approximately $26,000 from the year ended December 31, 2005 to $7.2 million for the 2006 year. The average balance of the investment portfolio decreased 10.9% over the same periods.

The Company’s interest rate profile remains liability sensitive in the near term with the exposure to rising rates increasing due to continued non- maturity deposits outflows being replaced with short term certificates of deposits. The continued flat yield curve continues to limit yields on fixed rate assets. A risk of reduced net interest income in the near term exists for a rise in interest rates as the Company’s cost of short term funding resets more quickly than its variable rate assets. The expected decrease to net interest income could be approximately 2.57% or $699,000 in a 12 month period of rising rates of 200 basis points, based on the Company’s financial position at December 31, 2006. Should interest rates decrease, net interest income is poised to benefit in the short term as a large portion of the Company’s liabilities will reprice to lower levels. The expected increase to net interest income could be approximately .58% or $159,000 in a 12 month period of declining rates of 200 basis points, based on the Company’s financial position at December 31, 2006.

Non Interest Income

Non interest income decreased $906,000 or 10.0% when comparing the year ended December 31, 2006 to the year ended December 31, 2005. Non interest income was $8.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 and $9.0 million for the 2005 year.

Trust and investment advisory fees earned by MTC and MIA increased 4.4% or $174,000 when comparing the year ended December 31, 2006 to the year ended December 31, 2005. Trust and investment advisory fees are based primarily upon the market value of the accounts under administration/management. Total consolidated assets under administration by MTC and MIA remained unchanged at $1.1 billion at December 31, 2005 and 2006.

Service charges on deposits increased $86,000 or 4.9% when comparing the year ended December 31, 2006 to the year ended December 31, 2005. A significant amount of the increase was related to ATM/Visa check card exchange fees and resulted from an increase in activity.

Investment sales fees decreased 18.0% to $554,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to $676,000 for the 2005 year. The decrease in sales fees resulted from having fewer financial consultants during 2006 than 2005. In July 2006, one of Middleburg Bank Investment Sales’ top producers resigned from the company.

Equity in earnings from affiliate, which reflects the 41.8% ownership interest in STM, decreased 55.5% or $849,000 from the year ended December 31, 2005 to the year ended December 31, 2006. An accounting adjustment related to the recognition of service release premium income was made during the fourth quarter of 2006. This adjustment negatively impacted equity earnings from affiliate by approximately $177,000. STM closed $938.8 million in loans for the year ended December 31, 2006, with 58.8% of its production attributable to purchase money financings. For the year ended December 31, 2005, STM closed $1.1 billion in loans with 62.2% of its production attributable to purchase money financings. STM’s 2006 production levels were negatively impacted by the slow down in the housing market and the impact that the increase in mortgage rates has had on the volume of refinance loans. Additionally, narrowed margins from the shift in production mix negatively impacted its 2006 earnings.

Income earned from the Bank’s $10.8 million investment in Bank Owned Life Insurance (BOLI) contributed $436,000 and $458,000 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The Company purchased BOLI in 2004 to help subsidize increasing employee benefit costs and expenses related to the restructure of its supplemental retirement plans.

Other service charges, including fees from loans and other service fees, increased $72,000 or 13.4% from the year ended December 31, 2005 to the year ended December 31, 2006. This increase was driven by increases in both safe deposit box rents and loan processing fees. The increase in safe deposit box rents was attributed to the increase related to both additional safe deposit boxes that became available for rent and an increase in the safe deposit box rental fees in mid-year 2005. Additionally, the Company had increased its fees related to loan documentation services.

Non Interest Expense

Non interest expense increased $1.3 million or 5.9% to $23.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to $21.9 million for the 2005 year. Approximately $408,000 of the $1.3 million increase in non interest expense relates to the Company’s Warrenton financial service center, which opened in October 2005. During 2006, the Company had a full year of cost related to the Warrenton financial service center, including two experienced commercial lenders and various retail staff members that had been hired in the middle of 2005.

Salary and employee benefit expense increased 3.4% or $450,000 from the year ended December 31, 2005 to the year ended December 31, 2006. Of this amount, $242,000 or 53.8% of the year over year increase were attributed to the Warrenton financial service center. In addition, $176,000 of the increase resulted from increased expense associated with employee life and health insurance while $33,000 of the increase related to the expense of the Company’s defined benefit pension plan.

Net occupancy and equipment expense increased by $227,000 or 8.1% to $3.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to $2.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The Warrenton financial service center, which had a full year’s impact on total occupancy expenses during 2006, accounted for $166,000 of the year over year increase.

Other taxes, which is comprised of mostly bank franchise tax, increased 7.5% or $35,000 from the year ended December 31, 2005 to the year ended December 31, 2006. Computer operations expense increased $114,000 or 13.2% from the year ended December 31, 2005 to the year ended December 31, 2006. These increases are related to increased maintenance costs of in-house core operating and support systems resulting mostly from the Company’s growth. Additional maintenance costs have also been incurred with coverage of the Company’s customer relationship management software which had been installed in April of 2006.

Other operating expenses increased 10.2% or $465,000 to $5.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 from $4.5 million for the 2005 year. The year over year increase resulted from increases in various expense categories including advertising expense, courier service expense, legal fees, and losses associated with the Company’s ownership interest in BI. Year over year increases in the aforementioned categories were $188,000, $58,000, $173,000, and $32,000, respectively.

Total Consolidated Assets

Total assets increased 4.4% to $772.3 million at December 31, 2006 from $739.9 million at December 31, 2005. Total loans, net of allowance for loan losses, increased 8.5% or $44.2 million to $564.8 million at December 31, 2006 from $520.5 million at December 31, 2005. Considering the current interest rate and competitive market environment, the Company has been diligent about maintaining its credit quality and thereby cautious about the growth that it has added to the loan portfolio. Additional staff, a solid local economy, the relationship with STM, and the success of the business model, which focuses on high quality financial solutions to clients and increasing client introductions across business lines, are all believed to have contributed to the loan growth experienced. At December 31, 2006, the tax equivalent yield on the loan portfolio was 6.93%.

At December 31, 2006, there were no non performing loans, representing a decrease of $88,000 from December 31, 2005. There were $19,000 in total loans past due 90 days or more at December 31, 2006, representing a decline of $12,000 from December 31, 2005. The loan loss provision was $499,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006. The allowance for loan losses was $5.6 million or 0.98% of total loans outstanding at December 31, 2006. Net charge offs were $60,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to net charge offs of $19,000 for the same time period in 2005. Based upon internal analysis by the Company’s credit administration department, which factors, among other things, the credit quality of the portfolio, the allowance for loan losses was deemed adequate at 0.98% of total loans outstanding.

The investment portfolio decreased $14.2 million or 9.5% to $135.4 million at December 31, 2006, compared to $149.6 million at December 31, 2005. During 2005 and 2006, management elected to utilize cash received from principal pay downs, maturities and calls in its investment portfolio to fund loan growth rather than re-invest into the investment portfolio. This strategy decreased the size of the investment portfolio. In anticipation of rising interest rates, the Company has also held to an investment strategy that focuses on keeping the portfolio relatively short by purchasing securities with weighted average lives that typically do not exceed three years. At December 31, 2006, the tax equivalent yield on the investment portfolio was 5.46%.

Deposits and Other Borrowings

Total deposits, which includes brokered deposits, increased 3.5% to $570.6 million at December 31, 2006 from $551.4 million at December 31, 2005. Total retail deposits, which excludes brokered deposits, increased 1.5% from $537.6 million at December 31, 2005 to $545.5 million at December 31, 2006. At December 31, 2006, $25.1 million of the brokered certificates were outstanding. The Company had $13.9 million in brokered certificates of deposits at December 31, 2005.

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase with commercial checking account clients increased by $4.2 million or 12.1% from December 31, 2005 to $38.5 million at December 31, 2006. Federal Home Loan Bank advances and overnight borrowings decreased $7.6 million or 9.3% to $74.0 million at December 31, 2006 from $81.6 million at December 31, 2005.

Equity

In July 2006, the Company issued 676,552 shares of its common stock in an underwritten public offering, including the exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option. The public price of $31.00 per share, less the underwriters’ commissions and expenses of the offering, resulted in net proceeds of $19.7 million to the Company. The Company used the proceeds to increase its equity and to provide additional equity capital to the Bank to support the growth of operations.

Stockholders’ equity increased 45.9% from $53.5 million at December 31, 2005 to $78.0 million at December 31, 2006. The book value of the Company at December 31, 2006 was $17.32 per common share. Total common shares outstanding were 4,505,605 at December 31, 2006.

On December 20, 2006, the board of directors declared a $0.19 per common share cash dividend for shareholders of record as of January 3, 2007 and paid on January 19, 2007.

(1) The net interest margin is calculated by dividing tax equivalent net
interest income by total average earning assets. Tax equivalent net
interest income is calculated by grossing up interest income for the
amounts that are non taxable (i.e., municipal income) then
subtracting interest expense. The tax rate utilized is 34%. For the
quarters ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, net interest income on a
tax equivalent basis was $7.0 million and $6.7 million, respectively.
See the table below for a reconciliation of net interest income to
tax equivalent net interest income. The Company’s net interest margin
is a common measure used by the financial service industry to
determine how profitably earning assets are funded. Because the
Company earns a fair amount of non taxable interest income due to the
mix of securities in its investment security portfolio, net interest
income for the ratio is calculated on a tax equivalent basis as
described above.

(2) The efficiency ratio is calculated by dividing non interest expense by
the sum of tax equivalent net interest income and non interest income
excluding gains and losses on the investment portfolio. The tax rate
utilized is 34%. For the quarters ended December 31, 2006 and 2005,
tax equivalent net interest income was $7.0 million and $6.7 million,
respectively. See the table below for a reconciliation of net
interest income to tax equivalent net interest income. Total non
interest income, excluding gains and losses on the investment
portfolio, for the quarters ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, was $1.9
million and $2.1 million, respectively. The Company calculates this
ratio in order to evaluate its overhead structure or how effectively
it is operating. An increase in the ratio from period to period
indicates the Company is losing a larger percentage of its income to
expenses. The Company believes that the efficiency ratio is a
reasonable measure of profitability.
