UNION FIRST MARKET BANKSHARES REPORTS FIRST QUARTER RESULTS

Richmond, Va., April 26, 2011 - Union First Market Bankshares Corporation (the “Company”) (NASDAQ: UBSH) today reported net income of $6.2 million and earnings per share of $0.22 for its first quarter ended March 31, 2011. The quarterly results represent an increase of $1.8 million in net income and $0.07 in earnings per share from the prior year’s fourth quarter and an increase of $4.5 million in net income and a $0.16 increase in earnings per share from the quarter ended March 31, 2010.

“The first quarter results demonstrated the strength of our bank as we reported improved profitability over last year during a difficult operating environment,” said G. William Beale, chief executive officer of Union First Market Bankshares. “The slow economic recovery has resulted in a reduction in loan balances, negatively impacting our earning asset levels and related interest income. I remain encouraged by our net interest margin, the reinforcement of the loan loss reserve, and the competitive advantage of the footprint we hold within Virginia. With our strong financial position, we are focusing on increasing our market share within our markets and deepening our relationships with our customers.”

Select highlights:

 

   

The core net interest margin1 for the first quarter was 4.47%, an increase of 18 basis points from the fourth quarter of last year due to favorable investment securities yields and lower funding costs.

 

   

Lower provision for loan losses of $3.2 million compared to the fourth quarter of last year.

 

   

Net charge-offs of $4.3 million were nearly 50% lower than the fourth quarter of last year.

 

   

Allowance for loan loss as a percentage of total loans increased from 1.35% at December 31, 2010 to 1.44% at March 31, 2011.

 

   

Total nonperforming assets increased $3.5 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2010. Both other real estate owned (“OREO”) and nonaccrual loans experienced slight net increases due principally to continued softness in residential home builder real estate markets.

 

   

Mortgage segment net income declined from $854,000 in the fourth quarter of last year to $328,000 principally due to lower mortgage originations during a historically slow quarter.

 

   

Customers reduced debt at a faster pace than new loans were generated during the quarter resulting in reductions of interest income.

 

   

The first quarter 2010 income statement included two months of post-acquisition First Market Bank (“FMB”) income and expenses. Nonrecurring FMB acquisition costs were $6.9 million for that quarter.

The increase in quarterly net income from the prior year is largely a result of improvements in net interest income, the absence of prior year nonrecurring acquisition costs partially offset by increased provisions for loan losses. Comparative results to the first quarter of the prior year exclude FMB results for the month of

January 2010. For the first quarter of 2011 net income available to common shareholders, which deducts dividends and discount accretion on preferred stock from net income, was $5.7 million compared to $1.3 million for the prior year’s first quarter.

First quarter net income increased $1.8 million from the fourth quarter of last year and was largely attributable to a reduction in the provision for loan losses and lower nonrecurring costs. These improvements were partially offset by lower income from the mortgage segment.

NET INTEREST INCOME

On a linked quarter basis, tax-equivalent net interest income was $39.9 million, a decrease of $395,000, or 0.98%, from the fourth quarter of last year. The linked quarter decrease was principally due to a greater decrease in earning asset volumes compared to interest-bearing liabilities. First quarter tax-equivalent net interest margin increased 13 basis points to 4.68% from 4.55% in the most recent quarter. The net interest margin increase was principally attributable to the increase of investment security yields and lower costs of interest-bearing deposits. Additionally, the funding mix continued to shift from higher cost certificates of deposit to lower cost money market accounts and checking accounts.

The first quarter tax-equivalent net interest income increased $4.8 million, or 13.67%, when compared to the same period last year. This increase was principally attributable to increased interest-earning asset volumes resulting from the acquisition of FMB. The tax-equivalent net interest margin increased 9 basis points to 4.68% from 4.59% in the prior year. The improvement in the cost of funds was principally a result of declining costs on certificates of deposit. Another favorable factor driving the increase in the net interest margin was the increase in demand deposits. The decrease in the interest-earning asset yield was principally related to lower loan yields and lower yields on investment securities. 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.

Acquisition Activity – net interest margin

The favorable impact of acquisition accounting fair value adjustments on net interest income was $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. If not for this favorable impact, the net interest margin for the first quarter would have been 4.47%, an 18 basis point improvement from the fourth quarter of last year.

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. The Company also assumed borrowings (Federal Home Loan Bank (“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 is accreted/amortized as an increase (or decrease) to interest expense over the estimated lives of the liabilities and reduced by provisions for loan losses.

Acquisition Activity – other operating expenses

Total nonrecurring costs associated with the previously announced NewBridge Bank branch acquisition were $294,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2011. Costs to date principally include systems conversion and integrating operations, which were expensed as incurred. The costs are reported as a component of “Other operating expenses” within the Company’s “Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.” Total acquisition costs are expected to be approximately $457,000 with no additional costs expected to be incurred after the second quarter of 2011.

ASSET QUALITY/LOAN LOSS PROVISION

Overview

During the first quarter, the Company experienced a slight deterioration in asset quality, principally within the builder/developer real estate portfolio, as the housing market remained soft. 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 the economies in the markets we serve recover.

The Company considers the level of nonperforming assets to be manageable and has devoted an appropriate amount of resources to review the loan portfolio and workout problem assets in order to minimize any potential losses to the Company. Management continues 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 adjusts 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.


Nonperforming Assets (NPAs)

At March 31, 2011, nonperforming assets totaled $101.3 million, an increase of $3.5 million from the fourth quarter of last year and $37.9 million compared to a year ago. The increase in NPAs continues to be related to stresses in the residential home builder market, driven by the slow pace of the economic recovery. Nonperforming loans have increased as residential real estate borrowers (i.e., developers, owners of residential housing, and those related to the residential housing industry) continue to experience financial difficulties with the protracted economic recovery depleting their cash reserves and other repayment resources. In addition, despite working with the borrowers, the Company has foreclosed on various real estate collateral in order to avoid additional losses. The current quarter increase in NPAs from the fourth quarter of last year related to increases in nonaccrual loans of $926,000 and OREO of $2.6 million.

Nonperforming Loans

Nonperforming assets at March 31, 2011 included $62.6 million in nonaccrual loans. This total includes residential real estate loans of $30.0 million, commercial real estate loans of $14.9 million, land loans of $13.1 million, commercial and industrial loans of $2.4 million, land development loans of $1.5 million, and other loans of $722,000. At March 31, 2011, the coverage ratio of the allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans was 64.5%, a decline from 88.7% a year earlier but an increase from 62.2% at December 31, 2010. Impairment analyses provided appropriate reserves on these nonperforming loans while appropriate reserves on homogenous pools continue to be maintained. The current quarter increase in the coverage ratio as compared to year end 2010 is partially related to the allowance for loan loss building at a faster pace than nonaccrual loans.

Other Real Estate Owned (OREO)

Nonperforming assets also included $38.7 million in other real estate owned. This total includes residential real estate of $15.4 million, land development of $12.2 million, land of $8.9 million, commercial real estate of $1.2 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 first quarter ended March 31, 2011, the Company’s OREO showed a net increase of approximately $2.6 million, with sales of $3.6 million at a net loss of $299,000 and additions of $6.4 million. Approximately half of the additions were related to residential builders with the remaining split between commercial developers and homeowners; sales from OREO were principally related to residential lots, land and houses. The Company expects this type of activity to continue until the market for these properties and the economy as a whole shows marked improvement. The Company also believes that its foreclosure practices are sound.

Charge-offs

For the quarter ended March 31, 2011, net charge-offs were $4.3 million, or 0.62%, of loans on an annualized basis, compared to $8.5 million, or 1.19%, for the fourth quarter of last year and $1.5 million, or 0.21%, for the same quarter last year. Net charge-offs in the first quarter included commercial construction loans of $1.6 million, residential builder loans of $1.3 million, and other consumer loans of $1.4 million. At March 31, 2011, total accruing past due loans were $42.7 million, or 1.52%, of total loans, a decrease from 1.85% at December 31, 2010, and 1.89% for the same quarter a year ago.

Provision

The provision for loan losses for the current quarter was $6.3 million, a decrease of $3.2 million from the fourth quarter of last year and an increase of $1.3 million from the same quarter a year ago. The lower provision for loan losses compared to the most recent quarter is partially reflective of lower net charge-offs. The current level 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. The


allowance for loan losses as a percentage of the total loan portfolio, including net loans acquired in the FMB acquisition was 1.44% at March 31, 2011, and 1.35% at December 31, 2010, and 1.19% at March 31, 2010. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of the total loan portfolio, adjusted for acquired loans, was 1.96% at March 31, 2011, an increase from 1.88% at December 31, 2010 and 1.82% in the same quarter a year ago. The lower ratio of the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans compared to the loan portfolio, adjusted for acquired loans, is related to the elimination of FMB’s allowance for loan losses at acquisition. In acquisition accounting there is no carryover of FMB’s previously established allowance for loan losses.

NONINTEREST INCOME

On a linked quarter basis, noninterest income decreased $2.5 million, or 19.3%, to $10.5 million from $13.1 million in the fourth quarter of last year. Gains on the sale of loans in the mortgage segment decreased $1.5 million, or 23.0%, and were driven by a decline in mortgage originations. Declines in refinanced mortgage loan volume from 56.1% to 38.1% accounted for most of this decrease. Gains on sales of other real estate owned decreased $551,000. During the current quarter, the Company recorded sales of other real estate owned at a net loss of $299,000 as compared to a net gain of $252,000 during the prior quarter. Excluding the mortgage segment operations and other real estate sales, noninterest income decreased $487,000, or 7.5% from the fourth quarter of last year and related to a combination of lower service charge income, letter of credit fees, and ATM income.

For the first quarter, noninterest income increased $808,000, or 8.3%, to $10.5 million from $9.7 million in the prior year’s same quarter. Other service charges and fees increased $609,000, primarily as a result of increased debit card income, ATM income, brokerage commissions, and letter of credit fees. Gains on sales of loans in the mortgage segment increased $477,000, or 10.6%. Gains on sales of other real estate owned decreased $338,000. During the current quarter, the Company recorded sales of other real estate owned at a net loss of $299,000. Other operating income increased $208,000, primarily the result of higher trust revenue and bank owned life insurance investment income. Additionally, service charges on deposit accounts decreased principally from lower overdraft and return check income. Excluding the mortgage segment operations, and other real estate sales transactions, noninterest income increased $703,000, or 13.2%, from the same period a year ago.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

On a linked quarter basis, noninterest expense decreased $2.3 million, or 6.2%, to $34.8 million from $37.1 million when compared to the fourth quarter of last year. Other operating expenses decreased $2.0 million, or 13.9%. Of the other operating expenses decrease, $708,000 was related to post acquisition lease and contract termination expenses incurred during the fourth quarter of last year. Conversion costs related to merging bank affiliates in the fourth quarter of last year declined by $436,000. Marketing and advertising expenses declined $460,000 related to Loyalty Banking® and multi-media brand awareness campaigns in the prior year’s fourth quarter. Additionally, legal and professional fees related to continuing problem loan work outs and foreclosure activity decreased $388,000, and costs to maintain the Company’s portfolio of other real estate owned decreased $248,000. Partially offsetting decreases in other operating expenses were increases related to expected FDIC insurance assessments of $323,000, and an increase in franchise tax of $299,000 levied in the first quarter of 2011 that included the acquired branches of FMB. Excluding the mortgage segment operations and non-recurring costs, noninterest expense decreased $450,000, or 1.5%, compared to last year’s fourth quarter.

For the first quarter, noninterest expense decreased $2.0 million, or 5.5%, to $34.8 million from $36.8 million for the first quarter of 2010. Other operating expenses decreased $4.7 million, or 26.8%. Included in other operating expenses were costs associated with the acquisition of FMB of $6.9 million during the first quarter of 2010, and current quarter bank branch acquisition costs of $294,000. Partially offsetting the decrease in other operating expenses were increases in internet and communication expenses of $640,000,


increases related to expected FDIC insurance assessments of $448,000, and an increase in franchise tax of $299,000 levied in the first quarter of 2011 that included the acquired branches of FMB. Salaries and benefits increased $2.2 million and were primarily due to increased salary expense of $1.9 million related to first quarter merit increases and additional personnel, and included $436,000 higher commissions in the mortgage segment. Marketing and advertising costs declined $268,000 primarily related to brand awareness campaigns that occurred in the first quarter of 2010. Additionally, costs to maintain the Company’s portfolio of other real estate owned decreased as did legal and professional fees related to continuing problem loan work outs and foreclosure activity. Excluding mortgage segment operations and non recurring current and prior period costs, noninterest expense increased $3.5 million, or 13.5%.

BALANCE SHEET

At March 31, 2011, total cash and cash equivalents were $84.8 million, an increase of $23.7 million from December 31, 2011, and a decrease of $45.7 million from March 31, 2010. At March 31, 2011, net loans were $2.8 billion, a decrease of $32.3 million, or 1.2% from the fourth quarter of last year. Net loans decreased $49.6 million, or 1.8%, from March 31, 2010. Loans held for sale of $50.6 million in the Company’s mortgage segment decreased by $23.4 million from the fourth quarter of last year, related to lower origination volume, and flat from the prior year’s same quarter. At March 31, 2011, total assets were $3.8 billion, a decrease of $24.5 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2010, and a decrease of $37.0 million from $3.8 billion at March 31, 2010.

Total deposits decreased $3.4 million compared to the fourth quarter of last year driven by lower volumes of time deposits and CDs, offset by higher money market and savings accounts. Total deposits decreased $5.4 million from March 31, 2010 with net volume inflows into money market accounts and out of certificates of deposit. Total borrowings, including repurchase agreements, decreased $26.6 million on a linked quarter basis and $52.5 million from March 31, 2010. The Company’s equity to assets ratio was 11.42% and 10.77% at March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

MORTGAGE SEGMENT INFORMATION

Originations declined by $87.4 million from $236.5 million to $149.1 million, or 37.0%, from the fourth quarter of last year.

Refinanced loans represented 38.1% of originations during the first quarter compared to 56.1% during the fourth quarter of 2010. Salary and benefit expenses decreased $753,000 on loan volume driven commission expense. Occupancy and equipment expense decreased 4.4% and 10.0% respectively on a linked quarter basis.

For the first quarter, the mortgage segment net income decreased $251,000 to $328,000, from $579,000 for the same quarter in 2010. Noninterest expenses increased $1.0 million. Of this amount, salaries and benefits increased $782,000 as a result of commission expenses associated with the higher loan revenue and personnel expenses related to the hiring of corporate support staff to service increased loan volume during the past twelve months. Originations increased $930,000 from $148.2 million to $149.1 million, or 0.6%, during the same period last year. Gains on the sale of loans increased $478,000, or 10.6%. The increase in gain on sale revenue was driven by adjustments to loan fees and pricing strategies, volume related revenue incentives and the contribution of newer branches originating loans at favorable margins.

(1) The net interest margin, core (FTE) excludes the impact of acquisition accounting accretion and amortization adjustments in net interest income.
(2) The allowance for loan losses, adjusted for acquired loans (non-GAAP) ratio includes the allowance for loan losses to the total loan portfolio less acquired loans without additional credit deterioration above the original credit mark (which have been provided for in the ALLL subsequent to acquisition). GAAP requires the acquired allowance for loan losses not be carried over in an acquisition or merger. We believe the presentation of the allowance for loan losses, adjusted for acquired loans ratio is useful to investors because the acquired loans were purchased at a market discount with no allowance for loan losses carried over to the Company. Therefore, acquired loans without additional credit deterioration above the original credit mark are adjusted out of the loan balance denominator.

(3) As a supplement to 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 they allow investors to see clearly the economic impact on the results of Company. These non-GAAP disclosures should not, however, be viewed in direct comparison with non-GAAP measures of other companies.
