The Bancorp, Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2011 Financial Results

WILMINGTON, Del.--()--The Bancorp, Inc. ("Bancorp") (NASDAQ: TBBK), a financial holding company, today reported results for the quarter ended June 30, 2011.

Financial Highlights

  • Prepaid card fee income increased 75% to $4.4 million from $2.5 million in second quarter 2010.
  • Total non-interest income, excluding security gains, increased 62% to $7.3 million compared to $4.5 million in second quarter 2010.
  • Tax equivalent net interest income increased 11% to $18.6 million from $16.9 million in second quarter 2010.
  • Core operating earnings increased by 30% to $7.7 million compared to second quarter 2010. For those respective periods, GAAP diluted earnings per share remained constant at $0.02 based on 33.2 million and 26.8 million shares respectively. For the six month period ended June 30, 2011 diluted earnings per share amounted to $0.11 compared to a loss per share of $0.14 in the comparable prior year period.
  • At June 30, 2010 loans had grown to $1.7 billion, and year to date grew at an annualized rate exceeding 7%. Period-end securities held at June 30, 2011 increased to $371 million, an increase of $141 million, or 62% over June 30, 2010.
  • Average deposits for second quarter 2011 totaled $2.3 billion, an increase of $490 million or 27% over second quarter 2010, while transaction accounts grew to 99% of total average deposits. The interest paid on deposits and interest bearing liabilities between those respective periods decreased to 0.53% from 0.81%.

Betsy Z. Cohen, Bancorp’s Chief Executive Officer, said, “The 75% increase in prepaid card fees and the increase in total non-interest income attest to the strength of our pipeline of new business as we continue to focus on growth markets. We continue to see opportunity in our SBA (Small Business Administration) program, and are adding new franchisors. We are devoting more efforts to accelerate SBA loan closings, and have begun to see some of those results. Another strategic goal, to increase our fixed rate but relatively short term direct leasing portfolio, has also begun to show results. Direct lease financing balances showed a significant increase over the year ended June 30, 2011 growing to $127 million from $96 million. As shown below, our core operating earnings (1) increased 30% or $1.9 million over the comparable prior year quarter, reflecting a $2.8 million increase in non-interest income and a $1.6 million increase in net interest income. These results reflect our commitment to fee businesses, especially prepaid cards, in addition to traditional banking, and careful expansion of the loan portfolio which has grown over 7% in 2011 on an annualized basis.”

Financial Results

Bancorp reported net income available to common shareholders for the three months ended June 30, 2011 of $660,000 or diluted earnings per share of $0.02, based on 33,205,741 weighted average shares, compared to net income available to common shareholders of $407,000 or diluted earnings per share of $0.02, based on 26,759,461 weighted average shares, for the three months ended June 30, 2010. Core operating earnings, a non-GAAP measure, increased to $7.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $5.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The following is a reconciliation of core operating earnings to net income available to common shareholders (for the three month period):

As a supplement to GAAP, Bancorp has provided this non-GAAP performance result. The Bancorp believes that this non-GAAP financial measure is useful because it allows investors to assess its operating performance. Management utilizes core operating earnings to measure the combined impact of changes in net interest income and non-interest income. Other companies may calculate core earnings differently. Although this non-GAAP financial measure is intended to enhance investors’ understanding of Bancorp’s business and performance, it should not be considered, and is not intended to be, a substitute for GAAP.
