VINELAND, N.J., Jan. 23, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Sun Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: SNBC) reported today a net loss available to common shareholders of $25.0 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2012, compared to a net loss available to common shareholders of $1.5 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2011.

The following are key items and events that occurred during the fourth quarter of 2012:


    --  As part of a continuing strategy to reduce balance sheet risk, the
        Company signed a definitive agreement on January 17, 2013 to sell $45.8
        million of loans, having a book balance of $35.1 million, to a
        third-party investor for gross proceeds of $22.0 million. The
        transaction, which is expected to close in the first quarter of 2013,
        resulted in a net loss of $7.6 million after accounting for loan loss
        reserves, customer derivative termination costs and other expenses. As
        the formal approval to sell these loans occurred during 2012, the
        related loans were transferred to held-for-sale as of December 31, 2012
        at fair value. In addition, the Company reached workout settlements with
        several troubled borrowers, resulting in a loss of $6.0 million.
    --  Provision expense totaled $24.2 million during the fourth quarter of
        2012 as compared to $1.9 million in the third quarter of 2012 and $6.8
        million in the fourth quarter of 2011. The allowance for loan losses
        equaled $46.5 million at quarter end, a decrease of $2.5 million from
        September 30, 2012, and an increase of $4.8 million from December 31,
        2011. The allowance for loan losses equaled 2.04% of gross loans
        held-for-investment and 57.8% of non-performing loans held for
        investment as compared to 2.12% and 40.6% and 1.82% and 38.7%,
        respectively, at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.
    --  Commercial loan production was $114 million during the fourth quarter
        versus $113 million in the linked quarter.  The Company continues to
        maintain a disciplined underwriting and pricing strategy in this
        uncertain economic environment.
    --  The net interest margin equaled 3.30% for the fourth quarter of 2012
        versus 3.41% in the linked quarter. The current quarter margin was
        negatively impacted by the maturity of legacy commercial loans as well
        as the overall low interest rate environment.
    --  Non-interest income decreased $2.8 million to $6.8 million during the
        fourth quarter of 2012 as compared to the linked quarter primarily due
        to an increase of $1.6 million in swap termination fees, of which $979
        thousand was a result of liabilities assumed from the loan sale, and the
        remaining fees related to other problem loan workouts. Gains on the sale
        of mortgage loans declined by $510 thousand as the linked quarter
        included a $1.5 million positive mark-to-market adjustment from a fair
        value election on its loans held-for-sale, effective July 1, 2012.  The
        Company's residential mortgage operations remain strong as $236 million
        in residential mortgage loans were closed and $149 million sold during
        the fourth quarter compared to $240 million and $120 million,
        respectively, in the linked quarter.  The Company originated $665
        million in 2012 versus $192 million in 2011.
    --  Total risk-based capital was 13.73% at December 31, 2012, well above
        11.50%, the regulatory required level.

"This was an impactful quarter for Sun, culminating an impactful year of successful risk reduction and revenue growth strategies," said Thomas X. Geisel, Sun's President and Chief Executive Officer. "We were able to simultaneously strengthen our balance sheet by significantly reducing classified assets to near peer levels and at the same time demonstrate our competitive advantage with meaningful commercial and mortgage loan production. In 2013, we will continue with a laser like focus on how we deliver the bank to our customers and provide value towards their financial goal achievement."

Discussion of Results:

Balance Sheet


    --  Total assets were $3.22 billion at December 31, 2012, as compared to
        $3.18 billion at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.
    --  Gross loans held-for-investment were $2.27 billion at December 31, 2012,
        as compared to $2.31 billion at September 30, 2012 and $2.29 billion at
        December 31, 2011. This decrease is the result of the Company's
        aggressive problem loan workout strategies implemented in 2012.
    --  Deposits increased by $66.4 million from the linked quarter to $2.71
        billion at December 31, 2012. The increase was due to an increase in
        short-term time deposits.
    --  Borrowings increased by $23.0 million from the linked quarter in order
        to fund the continued residential loan growth.

Net Interest Income and Margin


    --  On a tax equivalent basis, net interest income decreased $355 thousand
        over the linked quarter to $24.2 million. The net interest margin
        decreased 11 basis points to 3.30% from 3.41% for the linked quarter,
        and 24 basis points as compared to the same quarter in 2011. The average
        yield on interest-earning assets decreased 12 basis points over the
        linked quarter from 3.99% to 3.87%. This decrease is due to a
        corresponding decline in loan yields and excess cash.  The Company held
        $170 million of cash as of December 31, 2012.  The commercial loan
        yields declined seven basis points due to lower rates on new
        originations combined with pay-offs of higher yielding legacy loans and
        residential real estate yields decreased 21 basis points due to
        significantly lower market rates. The margin variance from the prior
        year is due to the similar pressures in the current interest rate
        environment.

Non-Interest Income


    --  Non-interest income was $6.8 million for the quarter ended December 31,
        2012, a decrease of $2.8 million from $9.6 million for the linked
        quarter and $11 thousand above the comparable prior year quarter's level
        of $6.8 million. The decrease from the linked quarter was primarily
        attributable to an increase of $1.6 million in swap termination fees as
        a result of the Company's aggressive workout strategies. Gains on the
        sale of mortgage loans declined $510 thousand as the linked quarter
        included a $1.5 million positive mark-to-market adjustment from a fair
        value election on its loans held-for-sale, effective July 1, 2012.
        Excluding mark-to-market adjustments, normalized mortgage gains were
        $3.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2012 versus $2.7 million in the
        linked quarter.  The Company also had a decrease of $424 thousand in
        deposit service charges from the linked quarter due to declining
        volumes.

Non-Interest Expense


    --  The Company incurred $31.6 million of non-interest expense in the fourth
        quarter of 2012, an increase of $738 thousand over the linked quarter
        and an increase of $4.4 million from the comparable prior year quarter.
        Professional fees increased by $677 thousand over the linked quarter due
        to additional compliance related consulting costs. Advertising costs
        were $576 thousand higher than the linked quarter due to ongoing deposit
        promotions as well as the residential mortgage growth. Reserves for
        unused credit commitments also increased by $280 thousand in the fourth
        quarter of 2012 over the linked quarter.  These increases were partially
        offset by a $1.4 million decline in problem loan costs as the Company
        has reached a more normalized run rate for problem assets. The increase
        in non-interest expense from the prior year period is due primarily to
        additional salaries and benefits expense associated with the mortgage
        origination expansion in 2012 as well as increased professional fees and
        advertising expenses.

Asset Quality


    --  The provision for loan losses for the fourth quarter of 2012 was $24.2
        million, as compared to $1.9 million in the linked quarter and $6.8
        million in the comparable prior year quarter. The allowance for loan
        losses was $46.5 million at December 31, 2012, or 2.04% of gross loans
        held-for-investment, as compared to an allowance for loan losses to
        gross loans held-for-investment ratio of 1.82% at December 31, 2011 and
        2.12% at September 30, 2012.  Net charge-offs recorded in the current
        quarter were $26.7 million, of which $13.1 million related to the loans
        sale, or 1.12% of average loans, as compared to $4.2 million, or 0.18%
        of average loans for the linked quarter and $20.4 million, or 0.87% of
        average loans outstanding for the same quarter in the prior year.
    --  Total non-performing assets were $100.6 million, or 4.11% of total gross
        loans held-for-investment, loans held-for-sale and real estate owned at
        December 31, 2012, as compared to $126.4 million, or 5.32% and $112.7
        million, or 4.86%, respectively, at September 30, 2012 and December 31,
        2011. Non-performing loans decreased to $93.2 million at December 31,
        2012 as compared to $120.8 million at September 30, 2012. The December
        31, 2012 balance is inclusive of $12.7 million of commercial loans
        held-for-sale.  This decrease is due to charge-downs from the
        aforementioned pending loan sale and problem loan workouts completed in
        the fourth quarter.

Capital


    --  Stockholders' equity totaled $262.6 million at December 31, 2012
        compared to $309.1 million at December 31, 2011. The Company's tangible
        equity to tangible assets ratio was 6.95% at December 31, 2012, as
        compared to 8.41% at December 31, 2011.  At December 31, 2012, the
        Company's total risk-based capital ratio, Tier 1 capital ratio and
        leverage capital ratio were approximately 13.73%, 11.83%, and 9.30%,
        respectively.  At December 31, 2012, Sun National Bank's total
        risk-based capital ratio, Tier 1 capital ratio and leverage capital
        ratio were approximately 13.04%, 11.78%, and 9.26%, respectively.

Impact of Hurricane Sandy


    --  The Company incurred $4.6 million impact due to Hurricane Sandy.  This
        is composed of $4.4 million of additional loan loss reserves and $222
        thousand of repair costs for facilities. So far, we have not seen any
        material deterioration in our loan portfolio due to Sandy. We completed
        a thorough assessment and thought it would be prudent to add an
        additional reserve to capture the potential risk as a result of the
        storm.
