Cornerstone Bancshares, Inc. Announces 2 nd Quarter 2010 Financial Results
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--August 4, 2010--Cornerstone Bancshares, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: CSBQ) today announced the following:
Cornerstone Bancshares, Inc. (“Cornerstone”) reported positive net income for the second consecutive quarter of 2010, with a net income for 2010 of $362 thousand or $.06 per diluted share. This represents an increase of 110 percent compared to the first six months of 2009’s loss of $(3.5) million or $(0.54) per share. Cornerstone made a profit of $18,000 in net income for the second quarter of 2010, compared to a loss of $603 thousand for the same quarter of 2009. Cornerstone saw a 1.6 percent increase in its net interest margin driven by top-line interest revenue growth and lower interest expense.
Net charge-offs were $1.4 million for the second quarter of 2010, compared to $7.1 million for the second quarter of 2009. Cornerstone’s allowance for loan losses was $7.0 million or 2.2 percent of total loans as of June 30, 2010, compared to $5.9 million or 1.75 percent as of December 31, 2009. Nonperforming assets were $23.3 million or 4.4 percent of total assets at June 30, 2010, compared to $17.9 million or 3.4 percent at December 31, 2009. Since the end of the second quarter, the Bank has recovered with no loss $1.2 million from one of its non-accrual loans and expects to close the sale of a non-accrual loan in the amount of $1.5 million with no loss. The Bank has seen an increased interest in its OREO holdings and currently has $2 million under contract to close during the third quarter.
“Cornerstone continues to follow its strategic plan of reducing its risk profile by shrinking its loan portfolio, improving its loan mix and reducing its commercial real estate (CRE) concentrations,” said Cornerstone’s President and CEO Frank Hughes. “The bank has aggressively moved sub-standard CRE loans through the collection process and has ordered appraisals on these loans to accurately reflect their fair market value. This step places the Bank in a positive position to move forward once the capital campaign is completed.”
Cornerstone, in order to thrive in the new banking paradigm, has prepared a preferred stock offering in the amount of $15 million. The security will feature a 10 percent coupon, will be convertible into common stock and will have a cumulative dividend. The preferred stock will not be converted until five years and a 50 percent increase in common stock value over the preferred stock’s strike price.
“Serving our customers, our community and all of our Cornerstone stakeholders remains our top priority,” said Cornerstone Chairman Miller Welborn. “Our Board and management team are fully committed to this charge. And we’re confident that, as the economy continues to improve, Cornerstone will continue to strengthen and move forward in a more profitable direction for the future.”
In recognition of Cornerstone’s accomplishments, Hughes, who had been serving as interim Chief Executive Officer since November of 2009, was officially appointed Chief Executive Officer in addition to his role as President, at the July Board meeting.
Cornerstone is a single-bank holding company, with $520 million in assets, serving the Chattanooga, Tennessee MSA, with five branches throughout Chattanooga and one loan production office in Dalton, Georgia. Locally owned and locally operated, Cornerstone specializes in providing a comprehensive range of customized financial solutions for businesses and individuals.
