CHICAGO, Jan. 24, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- PrivateBancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: PVTB) today reported net income available to common shareholders of $7.6 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter 2011, compared to $8.5 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter 2010. For the 12 months ended December 31, 2011, the Company had net income available to common shareholders of $30.7 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $12.1 million, or $0.17 loss per diluted share, for the prior year.

"We remain focused on executing our relationship-based commercial middle market strategy and our results in 2011 reflect the improvement in overall asset quality as well as the success we've had in growing our business," said Larry D. Richman, President and Chief Executive Officer, PrivateBancorp, Inc. "Over the year, we added important new client relationships, continued to grow our commercial and industrial loans, and increased non-interest income. In 2011, our loan mix improved, the credit characteristics of the portfolio were stronger and non-performing assets declined, which combined to help drive the turnaround and led to $30.7 million in net income for the year. I believe we are positioned to benefit as the economic environment improves.

"We ended the year with a solid fourth quarter, including more than $330 million in net loan growth from new commercial relationships and increased demand from existing clients. Given our healthy pipeline and the opportunities we have to grow client relationships, I am confident that, as we move into 2012, we will continue to leverage the strengths of our team to serve our clients and our communities and continue to build long-term shareholder value."

Fourth Quarter and Full Year Results


    --  Full year 2011 net income available to common shareholders grew to $30.7
        million compared to a net loss of $12.1 million for the full year 2010. 
        Net interest margin was 3.48 percent for the fourth quarter 2011,
        compared to 3.49 percent in the prior quarter.
    --  Total loans grew $333.6 million this quarter with the majority of the
        growth in commercial and industrial loans.  Over the course of the year,
        the Company increased commercial and industrial loans to 60 percent of
        the total loan portfolio at year-end 2011 compared to 54 percent a year
        ago.
    --  Total deposits increased to $10.4 billion at December 31, 2011, with
        growth in non-interest bearing deposits of 15 percent from the end of
        the third quarter 2011.  While total deposits were relatively flat
        compared to prior year, non-interest bearing deposits comprised 31
        percent of total deposits at December 31, 2011, compared to 21 percent
        at December 31, 2010.
    --  Special mention and potential problem loans continued to decline.  At
        year-end 2011, special mention and potential problem loans were $382.1
        million, a decrease of $113.6 million, or 23 percent, from September 30,
        2011, and a decrease of $524.4 million, or 58 percent, from the prior
        year.
    --  Non-performing assets declined 8 percent from September 30, 2011, and 15
        percent from December 31, 2010, reflecting disposition activity and
        ongoing workout efforts.  Disposition activity for the quarter included
        $68.1 million in problem loans and $20.3 million in other real estate
        owned (OREO).  Total problem asset dispositions were $387.8 million for
        the full year 2011.

Operating Performance

Net revenue was $129.0 million in the fourth quarter 2011, compared to $136.1 million in the fourth quarter 2010 and $129.4 million in the third quarter 2011. The fourth quarter 2011 results include net securities gains of $364,000, compared to $9.3 million net securities gains in the fourth quarter 2010 and $4.4 million net securities gains in the third quarter 2011. Excluding net securities gains, net revenue increased 2 percent from the fourth quarter 2010 and 3 percent from the third quarter 2011.

For the full year 2011, net revenue increased to $508.2 million compared to $497.8 million in 2010. Excluding net securities gains of $5.8 million and $12.2 million for years ended 2011 and 2010, respectively, net revenue increased 3 percent. Overall net revenue performance on a year-over-year basis was driven by net interest margin expansion and ongoing cross-sell to new and existing clients.

Net interest margin was 3.48 percent for the fourth quarter 2011, compared to 3.33 percent in the fourth quarter 2010 and 3.49 percent for the third quarter 2011. During the fourth quarter 2011, net interest margin benefited from a number of factors including the continued execution of the Company's strategy to improve the loan mix including the replacement of low-yielding commercial real estate loans and non-performing loan balances with better priced commercial and industrial and commercial real estate loans. Net interest margin also benefited from the increase in short-term LIBOR during the quarter. Increased volume of non-interest bearing demand accounts and downward deposit repricing during the quarter favorably impacted the cost of funds, benefiting net interest margin by 5 basis points as compared to the third quarter 2011. Net interest income increased to $103.0 million in the fourth quarter 2011, compared to $100.3 million for the fourth quarter 2010 and $101.1 million in the third quarter 2011. For the full year 2011, net interest income increased 2 percent to $407.1 million, from $401.0 million for full year 2010.

Operating profit was $52.8 million in the fourth quarter 2011, compared to $53.9 million in the fourth quarter 2010 and $54.4 million in the third quarter 2011. Excluding net securities gains, operating profit increased 18 percent from the fourth quarter 2010 and 5 percent from the third quarter 2011. For the full year, operating profit increased to $206.0 million, compared to $198.2 million in 2010. Operating profit, excluding net securities gains, grew 8 percent from the prior year.

Non-interest income was $25.4 million in the fourth quarter 2011, compared to $34.9 million in the fourth quarter 2010 and $27.6 million in the third quarter 2011. Non-interest income decreased 2 percent compared to the fourth quarter 2010 and increased 8 percent compared to the third quarter 2011, excluding net securities gains. For the full year 2011, non-interest income increased to $98.2 million, up from $93.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. Excluding net securities gains, non-interest income grew 14 percent from the prior year.

Treasury management income increased 14 percent from the fourth quarter 2010 and 5 percent from the third quarter 2011. Trust and investment income for the fourth quarter was $4.0 million, compared to $4.6 million in the fourth quarter 2010 and $4.5 million in the third quarter 2011. Capital markets revenue was $5.5 million for the fourth quarter 2011, compared to $6.8 million for the fourth quarter 2010 and $5.5 million for the third quarter 2011. Excluding the impact of the credit valuation adjustment, capital markets revenue was $5.2 million in the fourth quarter 2011, compared to $5.0 million in the fourth quarter 2010 and $6.7 million in the third quarter 2011. Capital markets revenue declined compared to the third quarter 2011 due to some large transactions that occurred in the third quarter. Loan and credit related fees grew 19 percent from the fourth quarter 2010 and 4 percent from last quarter due to increased syndications revenue.

Mortgage banking income was $3.0 million in the fourth quarter 2011, compared to $3.5 million in the fourth quarter 2010 and $1.6 million in the third quarter 2011. The fourth quarter 2011 benefited from a full quarter of refinance activity based on the low interest rate environment.

Expenses

Non-interest expense was $76.2 million in the fourth quarter 2011, compared to $82.1 million in the fourth quarter 2010 and $75.0 million in the third quarter 2011. Non-interest expense for the full year 2011 was $302.3 million, relatively flat compared to $299.6 million for the full year 2010 due to continued expense management throughout the year.

Salary and benefit expense was higher in the fourth quarter 2011, compared to the fourth quarter 2010 and the third quarter 2011, due to an increase in commission-based compensation and a higher annual incentive compensation accrual. Insurance expense declined compared to the fourth quarter 2010 and the third quarter 2011 due to the implementation of a change in the FDIC calculation methodology. Overall credit costs remain elevated.

The efficiency ratio was 59.1 percent in the fourth quarter 2011, compared to 60.4 percent in the fourth quarter 2010 and 58.0 percent in the third quarter 2011.

The effective tax rate for the fourth quarter was 46.1 percent and was impacted by the non-deductibility of certain compensation expense as well as reduced tax benefits relating to the impact of current share price valuation on stock-based compensation. Based on the Company's current projection, the effective tax rate for 2012 should decline from the fourth quarter rate, although the rate will continue to be dependent on a number of factors, including future share prices.

Credit Quality

The 2011 results reflect strong progress in improving the overall asset quality of the portfolio and reducing problem assets. Non-performing assets declined to $385.6 million at December 31, 2011, down from $454.6 million at December 31, 2010, and $421.1 million at September 30, 2011. Non-performing assets to total assets were 3.11 percent at December 31, 2011, compared to 3.65 percent at December 31, 2010, and 3.50 percent at September 30, 2011. Non-performing loans were $259.9 million at year-end 2011, down from $365.9 million a year ago and $304.7 million at the end of last quarter. Non-performing loan inflows were $67.5 million in the fourth quarter 2011.

Special mention and potential problem loans declined further in the fourth quarter 2011, down 23 percent from third quarter 2011. Over the past year, special mention and potential problem loans have declined $524.4 million, or 58 percent, to $382.1 million at December 31, 2011. The Company disposed of $387.8 million problem assets this year, with an aggregate incremental charge of 15 percent based on the carrying value net of specific reserves at the time of disposition. The Company expects continued strengthening of the credit quality of the portfolio as problem loan resolutions continue.

The fourth quarter 2011 provision for loan losses was $29.8 million, excluding covered loan provision, down from $34.5 million in the fourth quarter 2010 and $32.3 million in the third quarter 2011. For the full year 2011, the provision for loan losses was $130.6 million, excluding covered loan provision, down from $192.0 million in the prior year. The allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2011 was $191.6 million, or 2.13% of total loans, compared to $222.8 million, or 2.44% of total loans, at December 31, 2010 and $200.0 million, or 2.31% of total loans at September 30, 2011. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of non-performing loans was 74 percent at December 31, 2011, compared to 61 percent at December 31, 2010, and 66 percent at September 30, 2011.

Net charge-offs were $38.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2011, compared to $35.1 million for the fourth quarter 2010 and $38.6 million for the third quarter 2011. For the year ended December 31, 2011, net charge-offs were $161.8 million, down from $190.9 million in the prior year.

Restructured loans accruing interest were $100.9 million at December 31, 2011, compared to $87.6 million at December 31, 2010 and $106.3 million at September 30, 2011. The Company utilizes loan restructuring in an effort to maximize economic recovery.

Credit quality results exclude $306.8 million in covered assets as of the end of the fourth quarter 2011, referring to certain assets acquired through an FDIC-assisted transaction that are subject to a loss-sharing agreement, compared to $397.2 million in the fourth quarter 2010 and $319.0 million in the third quarter 2011.

Balance Sheet

Commercial and industrial loans were $5.4 billion, an increase of 11 percent compared to prior year and an increase of 6 percent from September 30, 2011. Total loans were $9.0 billion at year-end 2011, compared to $9.1 billion at year-end 2010 and $8.7 billion at September 30, 2011.

Total assets were $12.4 billion at December 31, 2011, compared to $12.5 billion at December 31, 2010, and $12.0 billion at September 30, 2011. Total deposits were $10.4 billion at December 31, 2011, compared to $10.5 billion at December 31, 2010, and $10.1 billion at September 30, 2011. Non-interest bearing deposits grew to $3.2 billion, an increase of 44 percent compared to $2.3 billion a year ago. The increase in non-interest bearing deposit balances can be attributed to several factors including growth from existing and new commercial client relationships, client focused treasury management product offerings, and deposit movements reflecting our clients' desire to hold greater liquidity in this economic environment.

The Company's investment securities portfolio was $2.3 billion at December 31, 2011, compared to $1.9 billion at December 31, 2010, and $2.2 billion at September 30, 2011. Net unrealized gains were $73.6 million, compared to $32.0 million at the end of the fourth quarter 2010 and $74.2 million at the end of the third quarter 2011. The change in net unrealized gains compared to the prior year was primarily due to the decrease in interest rates. The securities portfolio is primarily composed of U.S. government agency backed mortgage pools, agency collateralized mortgage obligations, and investment grade municipal bonds.

Capital

As of December 31, 2011, the total risk-based capital ratio was 14.28 percent, the Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 12.38 percent, and the leverage ratio was 11.33 percent.

    Note 1:  Due to the net loss available to common stockholders reported for the year ended December 31, 2010, all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents were excluded
     from the diluted net loss per share computation as their inclusion would have been antidilutive.
    Note 2:  Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period financial statements to place them on a basis comparable with the current period financial statements.
