TIB Financial Corp. Reports First Quarter Results

TIB Financial Corp. (NASDAQ: TIBB - News) a majority-owned subsidiary of Capital Bank Financial Corp. (“CBF”; formerly known as North American Financial Holdings, Inc.), today reported its unaudited financial results for the first quarter of 2012. Operating and financial highlights include the following:

  • The Company reported net income of $2.0 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to net income of $1.1 million, or $0.07 per diluted share for the three months ended March 31, 2011.
  • The Company holds a 21% ownership interest in Capital Bank, NA at March 31, 2012 which has 143 branches and $6.5 billion in assets in Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia.
  • CBF, the Company’s majority shareholder agreed to acquire 100% of Southern Community Financial Corp., which it expects to close, pending shareholder and regulatory approval, during the second quarter of 2012. Southern Community Bank and Trust has approximately $1.5 billion in assets and operates 22 branches throughout North Carolina.
  • During the first quarter of 2012, the Company’s investment in Capital Bank, NA increased by $2.0 million as equity in income from Capital Bank NA of $2.5 million was partially offset by the Company’s share of declines in other comprehensive income of $0.5 million.

“I am very excited about CBF’s agreement to acquire Southern Community Financial Corp. While shareholder and regulatory approvals are still pending, Southern Community will expand the Bank’s franchise throughout North Carolina, where we see significant growth opportunities. Integration planning is already underway, and as I have gotten to know more of Southern Community’s workforce, I have been impressed by their professionalism and their commitment to their customers and their communities,” stated Gene Taylor, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of CBF and TIB Financial Corp.

“Organic loan production, deleveraging and core deposit growth is helping improve the Bank’s profitability, and now that the integration of Tennessee is complete, we are in position to rationalize certain duplicative functions with the goal of continuing to improve our efficiency ratio,” commented Chris Marshall, Chief Financial Officer of CBF and TIB Financial Corp.

Bank Merger

Effective April 29, 2011, TIB Bank (the “Bank”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, merged (the “Merger”) with and into NAFH National Bank (“NAFH Bank”), a national banking association, with NAFH Bank as the surviving entity. On June 30, 2011, Capital Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Capital Bank Corp., an affiliated majority-owned subsidiary of CBF, also merged with and into NAFH Bank, with NAFH Bank as the surviving entity. In connection with the merger, NAFH Bank changed its name to Capital Bank, NA. Additionally on September 7, 2011, GreenBank merged with and into Capital Bank, NA. CBF is the owner of approximately 94% of the Company’s common stock, approximately 83% of Capital Bank Corp.’s common stock, and approximately 90% of Green Bankshares common stock.

Through the subsidiary bank mergers, the common stock of the subsidiary banks was converted into shares of Capital Bank, NA common stock based on each entity’s relative tangible book value. As a result of the mergers of TIB Bank, Capital Bank and Green Bank into Capital Bank, N.A., the Company now owns approximately 21% of Capital Bank, NA, with CBF directly owning 19%, Capital Bank Corp. directly owning 26% and Green Bankshares owning the remaining 34%.

The Company’s investment in Capital Bank, NA is recorded as an equity-method investment in that entity. As of March 31, 2012, the Company’s investment in Capital Bank, NA totaled $202.9 million, which reflected the Company’s pro rata ownership of Capital Bank, NA’s total shareholders’ equity at that date. In connection with the Merger, the assets and liabilities of the Bank were de-consolidated from the Company’s balance sheet resulting in a significant decrease in the total assets and total liabilities of the Company in the second quarter of 2011.

As of March 31, 2012, following the mergers, Capital Bank, NA had total assets of $6.5 billion, total deposits of $5.3 billion and shareholders’ equity of $949.3 million and operated 143 branches in Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia.

The following table presents summarized financial information for Capital Bank, NA:

      Three months ended
      March 31, 2012
Interest income     $74,132
Interest expense    
8,725
Net interest income     65,407
Provision for loan losses     5,376
Non-interest income     14,614
Non-interest expense     55,217
Net income     $11,907

Financial Discussion

The Company reported net income of $2.0 million for the first quarter compared to a net loss of $819,000 for the fourth quarter of 2011 and net income of $1.1 million for the first quarter of 2011. Due to the Merger discussed above and the resulting deconsolidation of TIB Bank on April 29, 2011, the operating results for the first quarter of 2012 includes three months of equity in income from its investment in Capital Bank, NA which amounted to $2.5 million, net of tax and therefore are generally not comparable to the operations during the first quarter of 2011. Due to the Company accounting for its investment in Capital Bank, NA using the equity method, a comparison of net interest margin to prior periods is not meaningful and is excluded.

During 2011, the Company’s registered investment advisor, Naples Capital Advisors, Inc.’s experienced a decrease in assets under advisement to approximately $102 million from approximately $193 million as of December 31, 2010, following the departure of certain employees, leading to an impairment charge of $2.9 million recorded during the fourth quarter of 2011. The remaining value of the customer relationship intangible at March 31, 2012 was approximately $185,000.

Potential Merger of TIB Financial Corp. and CBF.

On September 1, 2011, CBF and the Company’s Board of Directors approved and adopted a plan of merger. The plan of merger provides for the merger of TIB Financial Corp. with and into CBF, with CBF continuing as the surviving entity. In the merger, each share of TIB Financial Corp.’s common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the completion of the merger, except for shares for which appraisal rights are properly exercised and certain shares held by CBF or TIB Financial Corp., will be converted into the right to receive 0.7205 of a share of CBF Class A common stock. No fractional shares of Class A common stock will be issued in connection with the merger, and holders of TIB Financial Corp. common stock will be entitled to receive cash in lieu thereof.

Since CBF currently owns more than 90% of common stock of TIB Financial Corp., under Delaware and Florida law, no vote of our stockholders is required to complete the merger. CBF will determine when and if the merger will ultimately take place.
