Quarterly Report
Westamerica Bancorporation and subsidiaries (the "Company") reported net income of $20.0 million or $0.73 diluted earnings per common share for the third quarter 2012 and net income of $62.0 million or $2.23 diluted earnings per common share for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The nine months ended September 30, 2012 included a $1.3 million loss realized from the sale of a collateralized mortgage obligation bond which reduced net income by $750 thousand and a tax refund from an amended tax return which increased net income by $968 thousand. These results compare to net income of $22.4 million or $0.79 diluted earnings per common share for the third quarter 2011 and net income of $66.1 million or $2.29 diluted earnings per common share for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The nine months ended September 30, 2011 included $2.1 million in litigation settlement accruals which decreased net income by $1.2 million and expenses related to the integration of the former Sonoma Valley Bank ("Sonoma") of $393 thousand after tax.

Net income for the third quarter of 2012 was $2.4 million or 10.7% less than the third quarter of 2011, the net result of declines in net interest income (fully taxable equivalent or "FTE") and lower noninterest income, partially offset by decreases in noninterest expense and income tax provision (FTE). A $6.0 million or 10.9% decrease in net interest income (FTE) was mostly attributed to lower average balances of loans and lower yields on interest earning assets, partially offset by higher average balances of investments, lower average balances of interest-bearing liabilities and lower rates paid on interest-bearing deposits. The provision for loan losses remained the same, reflecting Management's evaluation of losses inherent in the loan portfolio not covered by loss-sharing agreements with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") and purchased loan credit-default discounts.
Comparing the first nine months of 2012 to the first nine months of 2011, net income decreased $4.1 million or 6.2%, primarily due to lower net interest income (FTE) and a $1.3 million loss on sale of securities, partially offset by decreases in noninterest expense and income tax provision (FTE). The lower net interest income (FTE) was primarily caused by a lower average volume of loans and lower yields on interest earning assets, partially offset by higher average balances of investments, lower average balances of interest-bearing liabilities and lower rates on interest-bearing liabilities. The provision for loan losses remained the same, reflecting Management's evaluation of losses inherent in the loan portfolio not covered by loss-sharing agreements with the FDIC and purchased loan credit-default discounts. Noninterest expense declined $8.4 million primarily due to a $2.1 million settlement accrual in the second quarter 2011 and reduced costs related to managing nonperforming assets.

Net interest income (FTE) decreased during the third quarter of 2012 by $6.0 million or 10.9% from the same period in 2011 to $48.7 million, mainly due to lower average balances of loans (down $428 million) and lower yields on interest-earning assets (down 0.72%), partially offset by higher average balances of investments (up $496 million), lower average balances of interest-bearing liabilities (down $139 million) and lower rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities (down 0.08%).
Comparing the first nine months of 2012 with the first nine months of 2011, net interest income (FTE) decreased $14.8 million or 8.9%, primarily due to a lower average volume of loans (down $418 million) and lower yields on interest-earning assets (down 0.53%), partially offset by higher average balances of investments (up $401 million) and lower rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities (down 0.10%).
Yields on interest-earning assets have declined due to relatively low interest rates prevailing in the market. Economic conditions, competitive pricing and underwriting, and deleveraging by businesses and individuals have reduced loan volumes, placing greater reliance on lower-yielding investment securities. Rates on interest-bearing deposits and borrowings have declined to offset some of the decline in asset yields.
In Management's judgment, economic conditions and competitive pricing create a cautious view toward commercial lending, and economic pressure on consumers has reduced demand for automobile and other consumer loans. As a result, the Company has not taken an aggressive posture relative to loan portfolio growth.
At September 30, 2012, purchased FDIC covered loans represented 19 percent of the Company's loan portfolio. Under the terms of the FDIC loss-sharing agreements, the FDIC is obligated to reimburse the Bank 80 percent of loan interest income foregone on covered loans. Such reimbursements are limited to the lesser of 90 days contractual interest or actual unpaid contractual interest at the time a principal loss is recognized with respect to the underlying loan.
Interest and Fee Income
Interest and fee income (FTE) for the third quarter of 2012 decreased $6.7 million or 11.7% from the same period in 2011. The decrease was caused by lower average balances of loans and lower yields on interest earning assets, partially offset by higher average balances of investments.
The total average balances of loans declined due to decreases in the average balances of commercial real estate loans (down $195 million), taxable commercial loans (down $108 million), residential real estate loans (down $49 million), consumer loans (down $30 million), construction loans (down $25 million) and tax-exempt commercial loans (down $21 million). The average investment portfolio increased largely due to higher average balances of residential collateralized mortgage obligations (up $293 million), municipal securities (up $109 million) and corporate securities (up $123 million), partially offset by a $52 million decrease in average balances of securities of U.S. government sponsored entities.
The average yield on the Company's earning assets decreased from 5.52% in the third quarter of 2011 to 4.80% in the corresponding period of 2012. The composite yield on loans declined 0.30% to 5.70%. Lower yields on consumer loans (down 0.77%), taxable commercial loans (down 0.74%), construction loans (down 3.25%) and residential real estate loans (down 0.35%) were offset by higher yields on commercial real estate loans (up 0.29%). Nonperforming loans are included in average loan volumes used to compute loan yields; fluctuations in nonaccrual loan volumes impact loan yields. The yield on commercial real estate loans in the third quarter 2012 was elevated due to interest received on nonaccrual loans and discount accretion on purchased loans. The investment yields in general declined as newly purchased securities have yields at current market rates which are lower than yields on older dated securities. The investment portfolio yield decreased 0.86% to 3.72% primarily due to lower yields on municipal securities (down 0.57%), residential collateralized mortgage obligations (down 1.06%) and residential mortgage backed securities (down 0.99%).
Comparing the first nine months of 2012 with the first nine months of 2011, interest and fee income (FTE) was down $16.9 million or 9.8%. The decrease resulted from a lower average volume of loans and lower yields on interest-earning assets, partially offset by higher average balances of investments. Average interest earning assets decreased $17 million or 0.4% in the first nine months of 2012 compared with the first nine months of 2011 due to a $418 million decrease in average loans and a $401 million increase in average investments. The decrease in the average balance of the loan portfolio was attributable to decreases in average balances of commercial real estate loans (down $177 million), taxable commercial loans (down $122 million), construction loans (down $35 million), residential real estate loans (down $47 million), tax-exempt commercial loans (down $18 million) and consumer loans (down $19 million). The average investment portfolio increased mostly due to higher average balances of municipal securities (up $114 million), residential collateralized mortgage obligations (up $243 million) and corporate securities (up $80 million), partially offset by a $60 million decline in U.S. government sponsored entities.
The average yield on earning assets for the first nine months of 2012 was 5.03%
compared with 5.56% in the first nine months of 2011. The loan portfolio yield
for the first nine months of 2012 compared with the first nine months of 2011
was lower by 0.18% mostly due to lower yields on consumer loans (down 0.75%),
residential real estate loans (down 0.35%) and tax-exempt commercial loans (down
0.35%), taxable commercial loans (down 0.11%) and construction loans (down
0.36%), partially offset by higher yields on commercial real estate loans (up
0.24%). Nonperforming loans are included in average loan volumes used to compute
loan yields; fluctuations in nonaccrual loan volumes impact loan yields. The
yield on commercial real estate loans in the first nine months of 2011 was
elevated due to interest received on nonaccrual loans and discount accretion on
purchased loans. The investment portfolio yield decreased 0.69% to 3.96%
primarily due to lower yields on municipal securities (down 0.56%), residential
collateralized mortgage obligations (down 1.34%), residential mortgage backed
securities (down 0.66%) and securities of U.S. government sponsored entities
(down 0.25%), partially offset by a 0.12% increase in yields on corporate
securities which contain floating interest rate structures.
Interest Expense
Interest expense in the third quarter of 2012 decreased $689 thousand or 33.3%
compared with the same period in 2011 due to lower rates paid on
interest-bearing deposits and a shift from higher costing deposits and financing
to lower cost checking and savings accounts. Checking and savings deposits
accounted for 83.5% of total deposits in the third quarter 2012 compared with
79.9% in the same quarter of 2011. Interest-bearing liabilities declined due to
lower average balances of time deposits (down $145 million), FHLB advances (down
$9 million), long-term debt (down $6 million), and preferred money market
savings (down $52 million), partially offset by higher average balances of money
market checking accounts (up $49 million), money market savings (up $26
million), regular savings (up $32 million) and term repurchase agreement (up $4
million). Lower average balances of long-term debt were attributable to the
redemption of $10 million of subordinated debt in August 2011. The average rate
paid on interest-bearing liabilities decreased from 0.29% in the third quarter
of 2011 to 0.21% in the same quarter of 2012. Rates on interest-bearing deposits
decreased 0.09% to 0.16% primarily due to decreases in rates paid on time
deposits less than $100 thousand (down 0.18%), time deposits $100 thousand or
more (down 0.06%), preferred money market savings (down 0.11%), money market
checking (down 0.07%), money market savings (down 0.05%) and regular savings
(down 0.05%).
Comparing the first nine months of 2012 with the first nine months of 2011, interest expense declined $2.1 million or 32.4%, due to lower average balances of interest-bearing liabilities and lower rates paid on interest-bearing deposits. Average interest-bearing deposits during the first nine months of 2012 fell $39 million compared with the same period in 2011 primarily due to declines in the average balances of time deposits less than $100 thousand (down $49 million), time deposits $100 thousand or more (down $60 million) and preferred money market savings (down $35 million), partially offset by increases in the average balance of money market checking accounts (up $44 million), money market savings (up $34 million) and regular savings (up $27 million). Average balances of debt financing declined $9 million while average balances of term repurchase agreement increased $8 million. Rates paid on interest-bearing deposits averaged 0.17% during the first nine months of 2012 compared with 0.27% for the first nine months of 2011 mainly due to lower rates on money market savings (down 0.08%), preferred money market savings (down 0.12%), regular savings (down 0.05%), time deposits less than $100 thousand (down 0.08%) and time deposits $100 thousand and more (down 0.12%).

Net interest margin (FTE) 4.67 % 5.32 % 4.89 % 5.35 %
|
During the third quarter of 2012, the net interest margin (FTE) decreased 0.65% compared with the same period in 2011. Lower yields on earning assets were partially offset by lower rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities and resulted in a 0.64% decrease in net interest spread (FTE). The 0.08% net interest margin contribution of noninterest-bearing demand deposits resulted in the net interest margin (FTE) of 4.67%. During the first nine months of 2012, the net interest margin (FTE) decreased 0.46% compared with the first nine months of 2011. The net interest spread (FTE) in the first nine months of 2012 was 4.82% compared with 5.25% in the first nine months of 2011, the net result of a 0.53% decrease in earning asset yields, partially offset by lower cost of interest-bearing liabilities (down 0.10%).
