Centennial Bank Holdings, Inc. Announces Third Quarter 2007 Financial Results




      - Company sells portfolio of nonperforming and classified loans
      - Board approves new 1.2 million share stock repurchase program
      - Company receives regulatory approval to merge subsidiaries
        into a single bank

DENVER, Oct. 30, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Centennial Bank Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq:CBHI) today reported third quarter 2007 net income of $1.5 million, or $0.03 per basic and diluted share, compared to third quarter 2006 net income of $5.8 million, or $0.10 per basic and diluted share. The decrease in third quarter 2007 net income as compared to the same period last year is primarily due to a $6.5 million increase in the provision for loan losses. Excluding after-tax intangible asset amortization of $1.3 million, third quarter 2007 cash net earnings were $2.8 million, or $0.05 per basic and diluted share, compared to third quarter 2006 cash net earnings of $7.6 million, or $0.13 per basic and diluted share.

As a result of the company's adoption of a more aggressive credit management philosophy during the second quarter 2007, including the implementation of an accelerated disposition strategy regarding problem credits, the company entered into a definitive agreement on October 26, 2007 to sell a portfolio of nonperforming and classified loans. The company expects to close the loan sale on October 31, 2007. This loan sale is further discussed in the Asset Quality section below. Certain details of the sale are illustrated in the table below (amounts in thousands):

Dan Quinn, Centennial Bank Holdings President and CEO, stated, "This loan sale is an important step in the overall strategic repositioning of Centennial Bank Holdings. We began this effort in the first quarter of last year with a plan to improve profitability and reduce overall enterprise risk. The major elements of this ongoing repositioning include reducing the credit risk in our portfolio, particularly our exposure to residential real estate in Northern Colorado; improving credit administration; improving the mix of our overall funding; bringing our efficiency ratio in line with that of our peers; using excess capital to repurchase stock; and streamlining the company to better serve our customers. We believe that the results of the third quarter reflect good progress on these initiatives."

Regarding the loan sale's impact, Mr. Quinn stated, "The loans held for sale are primarily real estate loans in Northern Colorado, an area which has had a higher concentration of loan risk for the company. The loan sale helps mitigate this risk significantly, including facilitating the continued reduction of our residential construction and land development loans. Year-to-date, we have reduced our construction and land development loan exposure (both residential and commercial) by $137 million, making up 16% of our total loan portfolio versus 22% at December 31, 2006."

The company's results for the first nine months of 2007 declined compared to the same period last year. For the year-to-date period ending September 30, 2007, net income was $0.1 million, or less than a penny per basic and diluted share compared to net income of $19.0 million, or $0.33 per basic and diluted share for the same period in 2006. Cash net income for the first nine months of 2007 was $4.2 million, or $0.08 per basic and diluted share excluding after-tax intangible asset amortization of $4.1 million.

The primary drivers for the decrease in year-to-date 2007 net income over the same period last year are a $20.0 million increase in the provision for loan losses over the prior year, as well as a $6.5 million charge in the second quarter 2007 related to the settlement of a lawsuit.

The comparability of the company's year-to-date financial information is also affected by the sale of Collegiate Peaks Bank on November 1, 2006, which had been classified as held for sale, as well as the discontinuation of the company's residential mortgage group at the end of the third quarter 2006.

The decrease in net interest income in the third quarter 2007 versus the third quarter 2006 is due to a $3.1 million unfavorable rate variance and a $0.7 million unfavorable volume variance. The unfavorable rate variance is primarily due to lower rates on loans and higher rates on time deposits. The volume variance is due mainly to a $77.2 million decrease in average earning assets primarily attributable to a $75.2 million decrease in average loans. The decline in loans was the result of a planned reduction in residential construction and land development loans. The reclassification of loans held for sale as of September 30, 2007, had a minimal impact on yield.

Interest income in the third quarter 2007 decreased by $0.6 million over the second quarter 2007, and decreased by $3.1 million over the third quarter 2006. The decrease over the same period in 2006 is due to both lower rates and a decline in average earning assets. Year-to-date interest income is $4.8 million lower than the prior year. An $84.1 million decrease in average earning assets caused a $5.5 million unfavorable volume variance. This was partially offset by a $0.7 million favorable rate variance, as the yield on earning assets increased by 2 basis points for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006.

Interest expense in the third quarter 2007 was largely unchanged as compared to the second quarter 2007, and increased by $0.6 million over the third quarter 2006. The cost of funds decreased by 4 basis points in the third quarter 2007 as compared to the prior quarter and increased by 31 basis points over the third quarter 2006. The increase over the prior year third quarter is due mostly to a shift in the mix of funding sources and higher rates on time deposits. Continued rate competition and renewals of certificates of deposits at higher prevailing interest rates are primarily the cause.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the company's net interest spread decreased by 59 basis points and the net interest margin decreased by 44 basis points over the same period in 2006. The difference in net interest margin as compared to the net interest spread is due primarily to the company's continued high level of noninterest bearing deposits. Noninterest bearing deposits averaged 24.6% of total deposits for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.

Noninterest income remained relatively flat as compared to the prior quarter, but is down from the third quarter in 2006, due in part to the discontinuation of the company's residential mortgage group at the end of the third quarter 2006.

 Efficiency ratio       57.66%    89.02%    61.86%    69.88%    61.77%

The improvement in the efficiency ratio in the third quarter 2007 over the third quarter 2006 is due mostly to a $4.7 million decrease in noninterest expense, primarily in salary and employee benefits. This reduction is due mainly to a continuing focus on determining each business unit's appropriate level of staffing and managing to that level. Expenses related to year-end executive bonuses were reduced by $0.5 million in the third quarter 2007 as compared to the prior quarter. Further, there was a $0.4 million reduction in the third quarter 2007 for equity-based compensation expense as a result of a change in the estimate related to the performance criteria for the performance-based restricted stock awards.

The significant decrease in noninterest expense in the third quarter 2007 over the second quarter 2007 is mostly due to two second quarter charges. First, there was a $6.5 million charge for the settlement of the Barnes litigation, as well as a $1.0 million charge for the merger of the company's subsidiary banks. Excluding these two charges, noninterest expense would have declined by $1.9 million over the prior quarter, primarily due to decreases in salary and employee benefit costs.

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007, overall noninterest expense decreased by $3.1 million, or 4.5% over the same period in 2006. The decrease is mostly due to lower salaries, lower professional fees and lower amortization costs on intangible assets. These decreases were partly offset by the two second quarter 2007 charges explained above. Without these two charges, noninterest expense would have been approximately $10.6 million lower than the prior year. The higher year-to-date efficiency ratio is due mainly to lower net interest income in the denominator of the efficiency ratio.

Balance Sheet

At September 30, 2007, the company had total assets of $2.6 billion, or $23.6 million less than the total assets at June 30, 2007, and $269.5 million less than total assets at September 30, 2006. The sale of Collegiate Peaks Bank accounted for $99.5 million of the decrease in total assets from September 30, 2006.

The impact of the loan sale was to decrease overall loans by $47.9 million over the prior quarter. The loan sale was one of the primary causes for the overall $74.3 million reduction in loans, net of unearned discount, at September 30, 2007 as compared to June 30, 2007. Further, loans, net of unearned discount, were $128.3 million less at September 30, 2007, than at December 31, 2006, due mostly to the company's continued employment of its strategy to reduce the concentration of residential construction and land development loans. Partially offsetting this decrease is an increase in middle-market and energy loans. The September 30, 2007 energy and middle-market loan portfolio balances have grown $96.1 million from December 31, 2006, while total residential and commercial construction and land development loans decreased by $136.9 million.

The balances of total residential and commercial construction and land development loans were as follows:

At the end of the third quarter 2007, average deposits were $1.9 billion, reflecting only a slight decrease of $3.7 million from June 30, 2007, and a decrease of $38.6 million from September 30, 2006. These decreases are due in part to the volatility in our commercial and public deposit base. Total deposits at September 30, 2007 decreased by $22.5 million from June 30, 2007, primarily due to a $29.3 million decline in time deposits. Core deposits remained relatively stable as compared to the prior quarter with a $6.9 million increase to $1.4 billion at September 30, 2007 as compared to June 30, 2007.

At September 30, 2007, the company had $16.8 million of total nonperforming loans as compared to $35.6 million at June 30, 2007. Three loan relationships comprised approximately 53% of the total nonperforming loans at September 30, 2007.

The decrease in nonperforming loans over the prior quarter was mostly due to the sale of a portfolio of nonperforming and classified loans. Because the loan sale agreement was signed on October 26, 2007, these loans have been classified as held for sale effective September 30, 2007 and written down to their estimated market value.

The company took a third quarter 2007 provision for loan losses of $8.0 million, compared to $12.8 million in the second quarter 2007 and $1.6 million in the third quarter 2006. A significant portion of the third quarter provision for loan losses is due to the company's decision to sell a large portion of its nonperforming and classified credits in a bulk sale, rather than continuing to work each credit individually.

The company's aggressive credit management strategy, combined with a further decline in the residential real estate market, led to increased net charge-offs in the third quarter 2007. Net charge-offs for the third quarter were $19.6 million, as compared to $4.7 million in the second quarter 2007 and $1.6 million in the third quarter 2006. $16.4 million of the charge-offs in the third quarter is due to partial charge-offs of nonperforming and classified loans in Northern Colorado prior to reclassifying these loans as held for sale.

Mr. Quinn stated, "Following the loan sale, we believe that our nonperforming asset portfolio is of a manageable size that allows us to continue our focus on improving asset quality. Nonperforming assets fell by $17 million at the end of the third quarter, or 45%, from the previous quarter. Total impaired loans decreased by $38 million to $17 million at the end of the third quarter as compared to the second quarter, a decrease of 69%. Further, the allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans has increased to 142% at the end of the third quarter, as compared to 85% at the beginning of the year. Barring any material decline in economic and business conditions, we expect our nonperforming assets to remain relatively flat through year end and into 2008."

The allowance for loan losses to total loans outstanding was 1.32% at September 30, 2007, as compared to 1.88% at June 30, 2007 and 1.31% at September 30, 2006.

New Stock Repurchase Program

In October 2007, the Board of Directors of the company approved a new stock repurchase program, authorizing the repurchase of up to 1,200,000 shares of the company's stock over the next twelve months. Prior to this new authorization, the company had 1,415,100 shares remaining under its previously existing stock repurchase program. Under both programs, the company is authorized to repurchase up to 2,615,100 shares of the company's common stock. The shares will be acquired from time to time either in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions in accordance with applicable regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. During the third quarter 2007, the company repurchased 930,338 shares at a cost of $6.1 million, or an average price of $6.54 per share. Cumulative shares repurchased for the nine-months ended September 30, 2007 are 3,352,885 at a cost of $26.9 million, or an average price of $8.02 per share. As of September 30, 2007, the company had 53,870,812 shares outstanding, including 1,651,344 shares of unvested stock awards.

Merger of Subsidiary Banks

In September 2007, the company received both federal and state regulatory approval with respect to the previously announced merger of the company's subsidiary banks, Guaranty Bank & Trust Company and Centennial Bank of the West. The company expects to consummate the merger by the end of 2007.
