BALTIMORE, Aug. 14, 2013/PRNewswire/ -- 1st Mariner Bancorp (OTCBB: FMAR), parent company of 1st Mariner Bank, reported a net loss of $1.48 millionfor the second quarter of 2013, compared to net income of $5.67 millionfor the second quarter of 2012. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the company reported a net loss of $3.75 millioncompared to net income of $7.49 millionfor the six months ended June 30, 2012.

Mark A. Keidel, 1st Mariner's Interim Chief Executive Officer, said, "Our results this quarter were dampened by rising long term interest rates, which slowed refinancings and overall revenue from our mortgage banking operations as compared to the second quarter of 2012.  Additionally, we experienced higher operating expenses for professional services and expenses associated with efforts to raise capital."

Mr. Keidel continued, "We continued to see improvement in our asset quality during the recent quarter and our level of non-performing assets have declined 35% in the first half of 2013. As a result, our ratio of non-performing assets to total assets improved to 3.0% as of June 30, 2013, down from 4.1% as of December 31, 2012and 4.6% as of June 30, 2012."

Mr. Keidel concluded, "As we move into the second half of 2013, we will continue our focus on improving our core banking profitability and meeting the capital levels required in our regulatory orders."

Net interest income for the second quarter of 2013 was $6.4 millioncompared to $7.3 millionin the second quarter of 2012. The decrease was due to the lower average loan balances in 2013. Gross loan balances averaged $589.5 millionfor the second quarter of 2013 compared to $668.9 millionfor the second quarter of 2012. Although these balances decreased quarter over quarter, the average yield earned on these loans increased. The average yield on loans was 5.55% for the quarter ended June 30, 2013compared to 5.27% for the same quarter in 2012. Additionally, average loans held for sale decreased to $186.0 millionfor the second quarter of 2013 compared to $205.1 millionfor the second quarter of 2012. Offsetting the decrease in loans and loans held for sale was an increase in available for sale investment securities. Average available for sale investment securities were $63.1 millionfor the second quarter of 2013 compared to $31.1 million. Also affecting net interest income was an increase in average interest bearing deposit liabilities. Total interest bearing deposits averaged $1.1 billionfor the second quarter of 2013 compared to $905.9 millionfor the second quarter of 2012. Although the average interest bearing deposit balances increased, the average rate paid on those deposits decreased quarter over quarter. For the quarter ended June 30, 2013the average rate paid was 1.05% and for the same quarter in 2012, the rate was 1.27%.

For the six months ended June 30, 2013, net interest income was $13.5 millioncompared to $14.9 millionfor the six months ended June 30, 2012. The decrease was attributable to lower average loan balances in 2013 versus 2012. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, average portfolio loan balances were $598.3 millionand the average yield was 5.27%. For the same period in 2012, the average balances were $683.1 millionand the average yield was 5.37%. The decrease was due to a combination of loan payoffs and lower commercial loan production. While there was a decrease in average portfolio loan balances in the six months ended June 30, 2013there was in increase in average loans held for sale when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2012. This was the result of the high volume of mortgage loan originations in the latter half of 2012 and early 2013. The average balance of loans held for sale was $279.4 millionand $191.4 millionfor the six months ended June 30, 2013and 2012, respectively.

Total interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2013was $7.5 million, a 5% decrease from the $7.9 millionrecorded in the same period of 2012. Interest bearing deposit balances averaged $1.1 billionfor the six months ended June 30, 2013compared to $907.9 millionfor the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase was due to the need for additional liquidity to fund the high volume of mortgage loan originations in late 2012 and early 2013. Although average deposit balances increased, the average rate paid on those deposits decreased. The average rate paid on interest bearing deposits was 1.07% for the six months ended June 30, 2013while the average rate paid for the six months ended June 30, 2012was 1.32%.  Interest expense on borrowings averaged 3.05% during the six months ended June 30, 2013versus 2.21% during quarter ended June 30, 2012. This increase in 2013 was due to the early payoff of $25.0 millionin Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings during the six months ended June 30, 2013which resulted in a prepayment penalty of $152 thousand. Average borrowings were $118.4 millionand $174.1 millionfor the six months ended June 30, 2013and 2012, respectively.

There was no provision for loan losses for the quarter ended June 30, 2013and for the same quarter in 2012 there was a negative provision (or recovery) of $428 thousand. Net charge-offs were $1.3 millionfor the quarter ended June 30, 2013compared to a net recovery of $429 thousandfor the quarter ended June 30, 2012. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the provision for loan losses was $1.3 millioncompared to $572 thousandfor the six months ended June 30, 2012. Net charge offs were $2.9 millionand $851 thousandfor the six months ended June 30, 2013and 2012, respectively. Costs related to foreclosed properties, including write-downs due to declining appraised values, amounted to $1.0 millionand $3.7 millionfor the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively. By comparison, these costs were $940 thousandand $2.2 millionfor the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2102, respectively.  Combined credit related costs (provision for loan losses and costs related to foreclosed properties) amounted to $1.0 millionand $5.0 millionfor the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively. In the prior year, the combined credit related costs were $512 thousandand $2.8 millionfor the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively. The increase in credit related costs was due to the aggressive disposal of non-performing assets in 2013. Total non-performing assets were $36.9 millionas of June 30, 2013, which is a decrease of 34% from the $55.7 millionreported as of June 30, 2012. The percentage of non-performing assets to total assets decreased to 3.0% as of June 30, 2013, down from 4.6% as of June 30, 2012.

Non-interest income was $10.3 millionand $21.9 millionfor the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2013. In 2012, non-interest income was $12.8 millionand $23.2 millionfor the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2012. Mortgage banking revenue decreased during the quarter ended June 30, 2013due to increases in long term interest rates which resulted in tightening profit margins on loans sold. Gross mortgage banking revenue was $5.4 millionand $15.2 millionfor the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively. By comparison, gross mortgage banking revenue was $11.1 millionand $20.0 millionfor the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively. Offsetting this decrease was a gain on the sale of the remaining interest in the former Mariner Finance subsidiary of $2.9 millionwhich was recorded during the quarter ended June 30, 2013. 

Non-interest expenses were $18.2 millionand $37.9 millionfor the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively. By comparison, non-interest expenses were $14.9 millionand $30.3 millionfor the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively. The increase in expenses was primarily due to the following: aggressive sale and disposal of foreclosed assets; increased marketing and postage expenses related large direct mailing campaigns for the residential mortgage origination activities; professional fees related to regulatory compliance and efforts related to increasing capital levels; increases in salaries and benefits due to added mortgage staffing; higher corporate insurance premiums; and higher deposit insurance premiums paid to the FDIC. Costs related to foreclosed properties, including losses due to aggressive sales and disposals, amounted to $1.0 millionand $3.7 millionfor the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively. For 2012, costs related to foreclosed properties were $940 thousandand $2.2 millionfor the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively. Direct mailings that solicit refinancing and new purchase mortgages caused the increase in marketing and postage expenses. Marketing and postage expenses were $591 thousandand $943 thousand, respectively, in the quarter ended June 30, 2013and $1.0 millionand $2.0 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2013. By comparison, the marketing and postage expenses were $790 thousandand $422 thousand, respectively, in the quarter ended June 30, 2012and $978 thousandand $681 thousand, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Professional fees were $1.9 millionand $2.7 millionfor quarter and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively. In contrast, these fees were $739 thousandand $1.1 millionfor the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase was due to regulatory compliance and capital raising efforts. Salaries and benefits were $6.4 millionand $13.3 millionfor the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, versus $5.6 millionand $11.3 millionfor the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively. The increase was due to staffing added during 2012 to meet the increasing mortgage origination volume. Steps are now being taken to adjust the mortgage division staffing in light of the current slowing trend. Amounts paid for FDIC deposit insurance premiums remained high with $1.1 millionand $2.3 millionincurred in the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively. For 2012, these premiums were $1.1 millionand $2.1 millionfor the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively. Additionally, corporate insurance expense increased as the renewal rates increased beginning in the third quarter of 2012. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, corporate insurance expenses were $786 thousandand $1.6 million, respectively. For 2012, these expenses were $402 thousandand $876 thousandfor the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively.
