Hudson Valley Holding Corp. Announces Earnings for the Third Quarter of 2009

08:00 EDT Monday, October 19, 2009

YONKERS, N.Y., Oct. 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Hudson Valley Holding Corp. (Nasdaq: HUVL), parent of Hudson Valley Bank and New York National Bank, has announced earnings of $6.9 million for the third quarter of 2009, compared to $9.0 million for the same period in 2008, and compared to $0.3 million for the second quarter of 2009. Diluted earnings per share totaled $0.63 for the third quarter of 2009, compared to $0.80 for the same period in 2008 and compared to $0.03 for the second quarter of 2009. The third quarter 2009 results benefited from moderating credit trends, as compared to the second quarter of 2009, a stable net interest margin, modest loan growth and strong core deposit growth.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, net income was $13.8 million compared to $25.4 million for the same period in 2008. Diluted earnings per share totaled $1.27 for the first nine months of 2009 compared to $2.25 for the same period in 2008.

"We are pleased with our financial results for the quarter which we believe portends positively for the future," President and Chief Executive Officer James J. Landy said. "Our core business continues to perform very well. Deposits grew a robust 18% for the first nine months of 2009, as total deposits eclipsed $2.0 billion for the first time and core deposits grew $65 million during the third quarter." Mr. Landy stated that new customer acquisitions and enhancements to existing customer relationships were key factors contributing to the deposit growth.

"We believe in investing in the future," Mr. Landy commented. "During the third quarter, we opened two new branches, one in Eastchester, NY and one in Milford, CT; and, in early October we opened a new branch in Stratford, CT., giving us 36 branches throughout the New York metropolitan area." He went on to say "This type of investment will continue to provide us with future growth of our core business and is a critical element of our long term strategic plan."

"We are convinced that our proven business model of providing our customers with superior service and innovative products will allow us to remain financially strong," Mr. Landy emphasized. "Customers have shown through their actions that they value Hudson Valley's brand of community banking."

Net income for the three month period ended September 30, 2009 was $6.9 million or $0.63 per diluted share, a decrease of $2.1 million or 23.3 percent compared to $9.0 million or $0.80 per diluted share for the three month period ended September 30, 2008. Net income for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 was $13.8 million or $1.27 per diluted share, a decrease of $11.6 million or 45.7 percent compared to $25.4 million or $2.25 per diluted share for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008. Net interest income increased for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 compared to the same period in the prior year and decreased slightly for the three month period ended September 30, 2009 compared to the same period in the prior year. Although the Company was able to sustain and grow net interest income, it experienced significant declines in net income for both the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009, compared to the same periods in the prior year. These declines resulted primarily from sharply higher provisions for loan losses in 2009, significant adjustments for other-than-temporary impairment of certain investments, higher noninterest expenses, including a significant increase in FDIC deposit insurance premiums, and lower noninterest income.

Total deposits increased $330.5 million during the nine month period ended September 30, 2009. Approximately $101 million of this growth resulted from the transfer of certain money market mutual fund investments of existing customers to interest bearing demand deposits. This transfer was primarily due to the recent increase in FDIC insurance coverage of certain deposit products which was part of the legislation enacted in response to the current economic crisis. In addition to the above mentioned deposit growth, the Company also experienced significant growth in new customers both in existing branches and new branches added during 2008 and 2009. This growth was partially offset by some declines in balances of existing customers, primarily those customers directly involved in or supported by the real estate industry. Proceeds from deposit growth were used primarily to reduce long term and short term borrowings and to fund loan growth.

Total loans increased $85.4 million during the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 as the Company continued to provide lending availability to new and existing customers. This growth, however, was accompanied by a continued slowdown in payments of certain loans, such as construction loans, whose repayment is often dependent on sales of completed real estate projects, as well as additional increases in delinquent and nonperforming loans in other sectors of the loan portfolio which have also been adversely impacted by the severe economic conditions currently affecting the real estate markets.

The Company's noninterest income decreased in 2009, primarily as a result of a significant increase in recognized impairment charges related to the Company's investments in certain pooled trust preferred securities which have been adversely affected by the effects of the current economic downturn in the financial services industry, and decreases in investment advisory fees of its subsidiary A.R. Schmeidler & Co., Inc., a registered investment advisory firm located in Manhattan, New York. Fee income from this source experienced sharp declines beginning in the fourth quarter of 2008 and continued to decline during the first half of 2009 as a result of the effects of significant declines in both domestic and international markets. Although there has been recent improvement in the financial markets, significant additional improvement will be necessary for this source of noninterest income to return to past levels. At September 30, 2009, A.R. Schmeidler & Co., Inc. had approximately $1.2 billion of assets under management compared to approximately $1.3 billion at September 30, 2008.

Nonperforming assets have increased dramatically, particularly during the first half of 2009 as overall asset quality continued to be adversely affected by the current state of the economy. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2009, the Company has experienced significant increases in delinquent and nonperforming loans and a continuation of the slowdowns in repayments and declines in the loan-to-value ratios on existing loans which began in the second half of 2008. The severity of the economic downturn, particularly noted during the second quarter of 2009, has extended well beyond the sub-prime lending issue, and has resulted in severe declines in the demand for and values of virtually all commercial and residential real estate properties. These declines, together with the present shortage of available residential mortgage financing, have put downward pressure on the overall asset quality of virtually all financial institutions, including the Company. Continuation or worsening of such conditions would have additional significant adverse effects on asset quality in the future.

The 500 basis point reduction of short-term interest rates from September 2007 through December 2008 resulted in a steeper yield curve by late 2008 and into the third quarter of 2009. However, with interest rates at historical low levels, availability of long-term financing at interest rates attractive to the Company has been limited. This has resulted in many financial institutions including the Company replacing maturing long-term borrowings with short-term debt. While replacing long-term borrowings with lower cost short-term debt may have a positive impact on net interest income in the near term, this condition presents additional challenges in the ongoing management of interest rate risk to the extent that these borrowings are utilized to fund longer term assets at fixed rates.

As a result of the effects of changes in interest rates, activity in the Company's core businesses of loans and deposits, an increase in loans as a percentage of total interest earning assets and other asset/liability management activities, tax equivalent basis net interest income decreased slightly by $0.2 million or 0.7 percent to $29.6 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2009, compared to $29.8 million for the same period in the prior year, and increased by $3.7 million or 4.4 percent to $88.4 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009, compared to $84.7 million for the same period in the prior year. The effect of the adjustment to a tax equivalent basis was $1.0 million and $3.2 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009, respectively, compared to $1.0 million and $3.5 million for the same periods in the prior year.

Non interest income, excluding net gains and losses on securities transactions and recognized impairment charges, was $3.9 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2009, a decrease of $1.6 million or 29.1 percent compared to $5.5 million for the same period in the prior year. Non interest income, excluding net gains and losses on securities transactions and recognized impairment charges, was $11.9 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009, a decrease of $3.4 million or 22.2 percent compared to $15.3 million for the same period in the prior year. The decreases were primarily due to a reduction in the investment advisory fees of A.R. Schmeidler & Co., Inc. Investment advisory fee income is expected to remain at reduced levels at least in the near term, due to the ongoing difficulties in the global financial markets. Non interest income also included recognized pre-tax other-than-temporary impairment charges on securities available for sale of $0.6 million and $4.1 million, respectively, for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 and $1.1 million and $1.5 million, respectively, for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008. The 2009 adjustments were related to the Company's investments in pooled trust preferred securities. The 2008 adjustments included a $1.1 million adjustment to a pooled trust preferred security and a $0.5 million adjustment related to the Company's investment in a mutual fund which was sold in April 2008 without additional loss. The Company has decided to hold its investments in pooled trust preferred securities as it does not believe that the current market quotes for these investments are indicative of their underlying value.

Non interest expense was $18.9 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2009, an increase of $0.7 million or 3.8 percent compared to $18.2 million for the same period in the prior year. Non interest expense was $57.0 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009, an increase of $4.1 million or 7.8 percent compared to $52.9 million for the same period in the prior year. Increases resulting from the Company's continued investment in its branch offices, technology and personnel to accommodate growth in loans and deposits, the expansion of services and products available to new and existing customers and the upgrading of certain internal processes were effectively offset by other cost saving measures implemented by the Company during 2009, however, overall noninterest expense increased primarily due to a significant increase in FDIC deposit premiums. These additional premiums were imposed by the FDIC to replenish shortfalls in the FDIC Deposit Insurance Fund which has resulted from the current economic crisis. Additional significant premium increases are possible for the remainder of 2009 and perhaps beyond.

In today's economic and regulatory environment, banking regulators, including the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), which is the primary federal regulator of the Banks, are directing greater scrutiny to banks with higher levels of commercial real estate loans. Due to the high percentage of commercial real estate loans in our portfolio, we are among the banks subject to such greater regulatory scrutiny. As a result of this concentration, the increase in the level of our non-performing loans, and the potential for further possible deterioration in our loan portfolio, we have expected since the end of the second quarter of 2009 that our Banks would be required by the OCC to maintain higher capital levels. In accordance with our expectations, as of October 13, 2009, the OCC required HVB to maintain, by December 31, 2009, a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 12.0% (compared to 10.0% for a well capitalized bank), a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of at least 10.0% (compared to 6.0% for a well capitalized bank), and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of at least 8.0% (compared to 5.0% for a well capitalized bank). These capital levels are in excess of "well capitalized" levels generally applicable to banks under current regulations.

To meet these increased capital ratios, the Company commenced an underwritten offering for $90 million of common stock and expects to grant the underwriters a 15% over-allotment option for 30 days after the closing.

The offering was temporarily postponed to hold a special meeting of shareholders to amend the Certificate of Incorporation to eliminate preemptive rights. The shareholders meeting will be held at 10:00AM ET on October 19, 2009. The Company expects to announce in its earnings conference call at 11:30AM ET on October 19, 2009 the status of the offering. If the offering is recommenced and is successful, earnings per share and dividends per share are expected to be reduced as a result of the increased number of shares outstanding and because we do not currently anticipate increasing the aggregate amount of our dividends.
