UNION FIRST MARKET BANKSHARES CORPORATION REPORTS THIRD QUARTER EARNINGS

Richmond, Va., October 22, 2010 - Union First Market Bankshares Corporation (the “Company”) (NASDAQ: UBSH) today reported net income of $8.1 million and basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.29 for its third quarter ended September 30, 2010. The results are a year-over-year increase of $5.3 million in net income and $0.16 in basic and diluted earnings per share from the prior year period which ended on September 30, 2009.

Our third quarter results are solid and demonstrate the strength of our bank,” said G. William Beale, chief executive officer of Union First Market Bankshares. “We are continuing to see the benefits of the merger with First Market Bank as our teammate and systems integration culminate in the uniting of all of our banks under one brand. While asset quality remains an ongoing focus, we are managing our portfolio well given the continued economic conditions in our footprint. An air of uncertainty continues to impact both us and our customers as we collectively face changes to banking, health care and tax regulations coupled with soft real estate values and low job growth. While these issues affect the psyche of business owners and consumers and may impede the pace of recovery, we expect our earnings momentum to continue to generate solid financial performance.”

Select third quarter highlights:

 

   

Year-to-date income and expenses include the operations of the former First Market Bank (“FMB”) for the eight months of 2010 since the February 1, 2010 business combination.

 

   

The core net interest margin, excluding the impact of acquisition accounting, remained unchanged at 4.23% from the second quarter and increased from 3.69% a year ago.

 

   

Net interest income improved $17.8 million over the same quarter a year ago, due to additional earning assets from the FMB acquisition and significant reductions in the cost of funds.

 

   

Total nonperforming assets as a percentage of loans remained unchanged at 2.74% compared to the second quarter. Increases in nonaccrual loans were offset by decreases in other real estate owned (“OREO”) as the Company was able to sell several properties.

 

   

Provision for loan losses increased $2.0 million from the second quarter and was principally related to the acquired commercial real estate and residential real estate loan portfolios.

 

   

Mortgage segment net income for the third quarter was $899,000 an increase of $103,000 from the second quarter.

 

   

A cumulative reduction of $994,000 in discount accretion was recorded during the third quarter to align year-to-date accretion following an assessment of actual and anticipated future payments.

 

   

Nonrecurring costs of $259,000 were incurred relating to merging our two affiliate banks, Rappahannock National Bank and Northern Neck State Bank, into Union First Market Bank. The consolidation was completed on October 12, 2010.

The increase in net income from last year largely relates to improvements in the net interest margin and the addition of the operations of the former FMB for the period. Third quarter net income available to common shareholders, which deducts dividends and discount accretion on preferred stock from net income, was $7.5 million compared to $1.9 million for the third quarter last year.

Third quarter net income decreased $653,000 from the second quarter which ended on June 30, 2010. The decrease was largely attributable to an increase in the provision for loan losses in response to continued slowness in economic recovery.

The reported net income of $18.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, represented an increase of $13.0 million from the same period a year ago. The increase was largely attributable to the addition of FMB and improvement in the net interest margin, partially offset by nonrecurring acquisition costs.

NET INTEREST INCOME

On a linked quarter basis, tax-equivalent net interest income decreased $897,000, or 2.2%, to $39.7 million due principally to lower yields on loans and lower accretion from purchased performing loans partially offset by the continued low cost structure of interest-bearing liabilities. The tax-equivalent net interest margin decreased 18 basis points from 4.65% in the prior quarter to 4.47%. The net interest margin decrease was principally attributable to the aforementioned lower accretion from purchased performing loans and lower yields on investment securities partially offset by a continued low cost structure from interest-bearing liabilities. During the third quarter the funding mix shifted from higher cost certificates of deposit to lower cost money market accounts and demand deposits. The following table shows average interest-earning assets, interest-bearing liabilities, their related income/expense and change for the periods shown:

For the three months ended September 30, 2010, tax-equivalent net interest income increased $18.0 million, or 82.6%, to $39.7 million compared to the same period last year. This improvement was principally attributable to declines in costs of interest-bearing liabilities, as well as increased interest-earning assets related to the acquisition of FMB. The tax-equivalent net interest margin increased 78 basis points from 3.69% in the prior year to 4.47%. Improvements in the cost of funds were principally a result of declining costs on certificates of deposit, fair value adjustments from acquisition accounting and lower costs related to Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (“FHLB”) borrowings. The decrease in interest-earning asset yields were principally related to improvements in loan yields offset by lower yields on investment securities.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, tax-equivalent net interest income increased $55.4 million, or 92.3%, to $115.4 million compared to the same period last year. This improvement was principally attributable to declines in costs of interest-bearing liabilities as well as increased interest-earning assets related to the acquisition of FMB. The tax-equivalent net interest margin increased 115 basis points from 3.41% in the prior year to 4.56%. The improvement in the cost of funds was principally a result of declining costs on certificates of deposit and money market accounts, fair value adjustments from acquisition accounting and lower costs related to FHLB borrowings.

Acquisition Activity

The impact of acquisition accounting fair value adjustments on net interest income was $2.8 million and $8.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively. If not for this impact, the net interest margin for the third quarter would have been 4.23%, unchanged from the second quarter and a 54 basis point improvement from the same quarter a year ago. The Company’s ability to maintain the net interest margin at current levels is largely dependent upon future interest rates, loan demand, and deposit competition.

The acquired loan and investment security portfolios of FMB were marked-to-market with a fair value discount to market rates. Performing loan and investment security discount accretion is recognized as interest income over the estimated remaining life of the loans and investment securities. During the third quarter, the Company compared the expected prepayments at acquisition to actual prepayments and anticipated future payments. The slower prepayment speed noted on land loans during this assessment is considered a change in accounting estimate and resulted in a lower effective yield. A cumulative reduction of $994,000 in discount accretion was recorded during the third quarter to align year-to-date accretion following an assessment of actual and anticipated future payments. The Company also assumed borrowings (FHLB and subordinated debt) and certificates of deposit. These liabilities were marked-to-market with estimates of fair value on acquisition date. The resulting discount/premium to market are accreted/amortized as an increase (or decrease) to interest expense over the estimated lives of the liabilities.

The third quarter, year-to-date and remaining estimated discount/premium is reflected in the following table (in 000s):

ASSET QUALITY/LOAN LOSS PROVISION

Overview

Asset quality remains a primary focus of the Company. During the third quarter, the Company continued to experience some deterioration in asset quality as the economy remained soft. While economic indicators suggest the recession has technically ended and there are signs of increased economic activity (including Virginia housing markets), the signals are somewhat mixed and there could be additional softening in asset quality in the near term. The magnitude of any such softening is largely dependent upon any lagging impact on commercial real estate, the recovery of residential housing, and the pace at which our local economies recover.

Necessary resources continue to be devoted to the ongoing review of the loan portfolio and the workouts of problem assets to minimize any losses to the Company. The Company has in place a special assets loan committee, which includes the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Credit Officer, and other senior lenders and credit officers that address significant potential problem loans, formulate strategies, and develop action plans related to such assets. Management will continue to monitor delinquencies, risk rating changes, charge-offs, market trends and other indicators of risk in the Company’s portfolio, particularly those tied to residential and commercial real estate, and adjust the allowance for loan losses accordingly. Historically, and particularly in the current economic environment, the Company seeks to work with its customers on loan collection matters while taking appropriate actions to improve the Company’s position and minimize any losses. These loans are closely monitored and evaluated for collection with appropriate loss reserves established whenever necessary.

Portfolio Concentration

The Company’s loan portfolio has a significant concentration in real estate loans. The composition, risk and performance of the Company’s loan portfolio are reflective of the relatively stable markets in which it operates. During the economic downturn, both residential acquisition and development lending and builder/construction lending were scaled back as housing activity across the Company’s markets declined. While this softening has negatively impacted delinquency and nonperforming asset levels, the collateralized nature of real estate loans serves to better protect the Company from losses.

Acquisition

During the first quarter of 2010, the Company acquired the loan portfolio of FMB at a fair value discount of $30.0 million (the discount represents expected credit losses, comparison to market rates and liquidity adjustments). The performing loan portfolio fair value estimate was $960.7 million, and the impaired loan portfolio fair value estimate was $20.8 million. During the third quarter, the Company recognized $4.0 million in provision for loan losses related to the acquired portfolio, offsetting a portion of the accretion on the acquired performing loan portfolio.

Loans obtained in connection with the FMB acquisition have been accounted for in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations and/or ASC 310-30, Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality (“ASC 310-30”) if the loan experienced deterioration of credit quality at the time of acquisition. Both require that acquired loans be recorded at fair value and prohibit the carryover of the related allowance for loan losses. Determining the fair value of the acquired loans required estimating cash flows expected to be collected on the loans. Because ASC 310-30 loans (i.e., impaired loans) have been recorded at fair value, such loans are not classified as nonaccrual even though some payments may be contractually past due. The carrying amount of purchased impaired loans was $16.5 million at September 30, 2010, or approximately 0.58% of total loans.

Nonperforming Assets (NPAs)

At September 30, 2010, nonperforming assets totaled $78.0 million, a slight increase $700,000 compared to the second quarter and an increase of $34.6 million compared to the same period a year ago. The increase in NPAs continues to be related to stresses in the residential home builder market, which is largely a result of the broader and extended economic slowdown. Given the outlook for a

prolonged economic recovery, these levels of nonperforming assets are likely to remain unchanged in the near term. The increase compared to the second quarter principally related to increases in nonaccrual loans of $2.7 million partially offset by lower OREO of $2.0 million. The net increase in nonaccrual loans are principally within the commercial real estate loan and residential loan portfolios. At September 30, 2010, the coverage ratio of the allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans was 72.4%, a decline from 111.1% a year earlier and up from 69.4% in the second quarter.

Nonperforming Loans (NPLs)

Nonperforming assets at September 30, 2010 included $51.6 million in nonperforming loans. This total includes residential real estate loans of $22.5 million, land loans of $11.6 million, commercial real estate loans of $11.8 million, commercial and industrial loans of $3.1 million, land development loans of $1.6 million, and other loans totaling $1.0 million.

Other Real Estate Owned (OREO)

Nonperforming assets also included $26.4 million in other real estate owned. This total includes land development of $11.3 million, residential real estate of $8.2 million, land of $4.1 million, commercial real estate of $1.8 million and land held for development of bank branch sites of $1.0 million. Included in land development is $8.7 million related to a residential community in the Northern Neck region of Virginia, which includes developed residential lots, a golf course and undeveloped land. Foreclosed properties were adjusted to their fair values at the time of each foreclosure and any losses were taken as loan charge-offs against the allowance for loan losses at that time. OREO asset valuations are also evaluated at least quarterly and any necessary write down to fair value is recorded as impairment. During the third quarter, the Company reduced OREO by $2.0 million, selling approximately $4.0 million at a net gain of $332,000 while adding $2.0 million. The sales principally related to a partially completed land development project and residential real estate properties on a lot by lot basis. The Company expects this type of activity to continue until the market for these properties and the economy as a whole improves. The Company also believes that its foreclosure practices are sound.

Charge-offs

For the third quarter, net charge-offs were $2.5 million, or 0.35%, of loans on an annualized basis, compared to $4.0 million, or 0.57%, for the second quarter and $1.2 million, or 0.26%, in the same quarter last year. Net charge-offs in the third quarter included real estate loans of $1.5 million, consumer loans of $715,000 and commercial loans of $310,000. At September 30, 2010, total past due loans were $56.6 million, or 1.99%, of total loans, an increase from 1.53% a year ago, and from 1.79% at June 30, 2010.

Provision

The provision for loan losses for the third quarter was $5.9 million, an increase of $1.9 million from the second quarter and $1.4 million from the same quarter a year ago. The current levels of the allowance for loan losses reflect specific reserves related to nonperforming loans, changes in risk ratings on loans, net charge-off activity, loan growth, delinquency trends and other credit risk factors that the Company considers in assessing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. As noted above, in acquisition accounting there was no carryover of FMB’s previously established allowance for loan losses. The increases in the provision for loan losses from the second quarter was principally related to specific reserves on the acquired commercial real estate and residential real estate loan portfolios. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of the total loan portfolio, including net loans purchased at fair value in the FMB acquisition, was 1.32% at September 30, 2010, 1.20% at June 30, 2010 and 1.75% at September 30, 2009. The reduction in the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans compared to the prior year is related to the elimination of FMB’s allowance for loan losses. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of the total loan portfolio, adjusted for acquired loans, was 1.86% at September 30, 2010, an increase from 1.76% at June 30, 2010.

NONINTEREST INCOME

On a linked quarter basis, noninterest income increased $252,000, or 2.1%, to $12.4 million from $12.1 million at June 30, 2010. Gains on the sale of loans in the mortgage segment increased $714,000 and were driven by increased originations at favorable pricing. Increased loan originations were stimulated by refinances driven by a low interest rate environment in addition to contributions from recent branch office additions. Gains on sales of other real estate owned increased by $327,000 and principally related to individual residential real estate lot sales. Offsetting these increases, other operating income decreased $408,000 primarily related to a non-recurring reversal of a liability that occurred in the second quarter. Other service charges and account fees decreased $276,000 and were primarily due to a decline in ATM usage and related surcharges, a decline in letter of credit fees driven by slower construction activity and a decline in brokerage commissions. Service charges on deposit accounts decreased $138,000 and principally related to lower overdraft and returned check and checking account fee income. Excluding the mortgage segment operations, investment securities and real estate sales gains, noninterest income declined $815,000, or 11.7%.

For the three months ended September 30, 2010, noninterest income increased $4.5 million, or 56.1%, to $12.4 million from $7.9 million in the same period in 2009 and reflect the FMB acquisition. Gains on sales of loans in the mortgage segment increased $2.2 million, or 58.5%. Gains on the sale of loans were driven by the increased originations, adjustments to loan fee and pricing policies, and the contribution of newer branches originating loans at favorable margins. Other service charges and fees increased $1.4 million, primarily due to debit card income, ATM income, and brokerage commissions. Other operating income increased $436,000 primarily related to trust revenue and bank owned life insurance investment income. Gains on sales of other real estate owned increased $302,000 and principally related to individual residential real estate lot sales. Account service charges increased $128,000, related to commercial and savings accounts fee income partially offset by lower overdraft and returned check income.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, noninterest income increased $9.7 million, or 39.4%, to $34.2 million from $24.5 million in the same period in 2009, and reflect the FMB acquisition for eight months since the acquisition date. Other service charges and fees increased $3.9 million, primarily related to debit card income, ATM income and brokerage commissions and letter of credit fees. Mortgage originations increased $53.6 million from $518.4 million to $572.0 million, or 10.3%, over the same period last year, as gains on the sale of loans increased $3.3 million, or 26.7%. Gains on the sale of loans were driven by increased originations in addition to the contribution of newer branches originating loans at favorable margins, adjustments to loan fee and pricing policies and volume related revenue incentives. Other operating income increased $1.5 million and primarily related to revenue from the former FMB trust operations, bank owned life insurance investment income and other income. Account service charges increased $579,000 and related to overdraft and returned check charges and fees on commercial and savings accounts. Gains on sales of other real estate owned increased $400,000 and principally related to individual residential real estate lot sales.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

On a linked quarter basis, noninterest expense decreased $1.2 million, or 3.3%, to $34.0 million from $35.2 million for second quarter. Other operating expenses decreased $1.2 million, or 9.1%, primarily related to decreased marketing and advertising costs of $812 ,000 in television and print brand awareness campaigns for Union First Market Bank that occurred in the second quarter. Additionally, the Company experienced decreased costs in maintaining the Company’s portfolio of other real estate owned of $159,000, and lower FDIC insurance and data processing fees of $127,000, and $116,000, respectively. These decreases were partially offset by higher professional fees of $109,000 related to continuing problem loan work outs and foreclosure activity. Other non-recurring costs during the quarter were related to the consolidation of bank affiliates of $259,000 and costs associated with the acquisition of FMB. Excluding mortgage segment operations, acquisition related expenses and gains from investment securities and real estate sales, noninterest expense decreased approximately $1.2 million, or 4.0%, from the second quarter.

For the three months ended September 30, 2010, noninterest expense increased $12.9 million, or 61.0%, to $34.0 million from $21.1 million compared to the third quarter of 2009 and reflects the FMB acquisition. Salaries and benefits increased $6.6 million and were primarily due to increased salaries expense of $4.8 million related to additional personnel as result of the acquisition and higher group insurance costs of $468,000 from increased current year premiums and additional personnel. Also contributing to the increase was higher profit sharing expense of $807,000 due to improved profitability. Commissions in the mortgage segment increased $833,000, or 42.3%, as a result of increased originations.

Other operating expenses increased $4.5 million. Included in other operating expenses was higher amortization on acquired deposit intangible assets of $1.6 million, higher internet and communication expenses of $854,000 and higher data processing fees of $401,000 related to increased loans and deposits from the FMB acquisition. Other increased costs included higher legal and professional fees increases of $401,000 due to continuing problem loan work outs and foreclosure activity, increased FDIC insurance premiums of $233,000 and other costs associated with ATMs of $244,000. Occupancy expenses increased $1.2 million primarily related to additional rental expense and operations of acquired branches. Furniture and equipment expense increased $611,000 due to higher depreciation and amortization expense related to acquired fixed assets and equipment service contracts.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, noninterest expense increased $42.5 million, or 67.1%, to $105.9 million from $63.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and reflects the FMB acquisition for the eight months since acquisition date. Other operating expenses increased $20.1 million. This increase included acquisition costs of $7.8 million and increases in amortization of acquired deposit intangible assets of $3.9 million, higher marketing and advertising expenses of $1.9 million related to television and print brand awareness campaigns for Union First Market Bank and higher communications expenses of $2.1 million. Data processing fees also increased $1.6 million and principally related to acquired loans and deposits. Additional other increases of $1.1 million related to ATM, bank card and overdraft losses. Professional fees increased $899,000 primarily related to higher legal fees for continuing problem loan work outs and foreclosure activity. In addition, loan expenses increased $792,000 due to maintenance of the Company’s portfolio of other real estate owned and collection efforts on problem loans.

Salaries and benefits expense increased $17.9 million primarily due to higher salaries expense of $12.0 million related principally to additional personnel from the FMB acquisition, higher profit sharing expense of $2.4 million due to improved profitability, higher group insurance costs of $1.4 million due to higher current year premiums and additional personnel as well as higher incentive compensation costs of $712,000. Commissions in the mortgage segment increased $1.5 million, or 25.4%, as a result of increased originations. Occupancy costs increased $3.1 million and primarily related to additional rental expense and operations of acquired branches. Furniture and equipment expense increased $1.4 million due to higher depreciation and amortization expense related to acquired fixed assets and equipment service contracts.

During the third quarter of 2010, the Company incurred the remaining costs related to the acquisition of FMB and no additional costs are expected going forward. Costs included legal and accounting fees, lease and contract termination expenses, system conversion, integrating operations, and employee severances, which were expensed as incurred. For the third quarter, costs associated with the acquisition of FMB were $123,000 and for the nine months ending on September 30, 2010 the costs were $7.8 million. The costs are reported as a component of “Other operating expenses” within the Company’s “Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.” Total acquisition costs incurred from the date the Company announced the acquisition of FMB through September 30, 2010 were $9.3 million, approximately $1.5 million below the initial estimate of approximately $10.8 million.

Total assets increased $1.3 billion from $2.6 billion at both December 31, 2009 and September 30, 2009, respectively, driven principally by the acquisition of FMB.

Total deposits decreased $21.3 million compared to the second quarter and was driven by lower demand deposits. Total deposits increased $1.2 billion, or 60.4%, from December 31, 2009, and $1.1 billion, or 56.4%, from a year ago. Both of these period increases principally related to the acquired deposits of FMB, which totaled $1.2 billion.

Originations increased $16.9 million from $203.3 million to $220.4 million, or 8.3%, from the second quarter. Gains on sales of loans increased $707,000, or 13.5%. Gains on sales of loans were driven by increased originations. Increased loan originations were stimulated by refinances driven by a low interest rate environment. Refinanced loans represented 50.0% of originations during the third quarter and 38.0% year to date. Salary and benefit expenses increased $509,000 primarily related to volume driven commission expenses and staffing additions required to handle increased production.

For the three months ended September 30, 2010, the mortgage segment net income increased $603,000 to $899,000, from $295,000 for the same quarter in 2009. Originations increased $76.1 million from $144.3 million to $220.4 million, or 52.7%, during the same period last year. Gains on the sale of loans increased $2.2 million, or 58.8%. Gains on the sale of loans were driven by the increased originations, adjustments to loan fee and pricing policies and the contribution of newer branches originating loans at favorable margins. Noninterest expenses increased $1.5 million. Of this amount, salaries and benefits increased $1.2 million primarily related to increased commissions associated with the growth of loan originations and expenses connected to the addition of branch office and corporate support personnel. Other operating expenses increased $149,000 principally due to increased loan costs related to higher origination volume, investments in technology and management fees.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the mortgage segment net income increased $327,000, or 16.8%, to $2.3 million from $1.9 million in the same period of 2009.

(1) Excludes acquired loans, but includes any acquired loan with additional credit deterioration since acquisition.
(2) As a supplement to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), management also reviews operating performance based on its “cash basis earnings” to fully analyze its core business. Cash basis earnings exclude amortization expense attributable to intangibles (goodwill and core deposit intangibles) that do not qualify as regulatory capital. Financial ratios based on cash basis earnings exclude the amortization of nonqualifying intangible assets from earnings and the unamortized balance of nonqualifying intangibles from assets and equity.

In management’s opinion, cash basis earnings are useful to investors because by excluding non-operating adjustments stemming from the consolidation of our organization, they allow investors to see clearly the combined economic results of our multi-bank company. These non-GAAP disclosures should not, however, be viewed in direct comparison with non-GAAP measures of other companies.
