  • Tangible common equity ratio of 6.09% compared to 6.10% at March 31, 2009

Associated Banc-Corp (NASDAQ: ASBC) today reported a 2009 second quarter net loss to common shareholders of $24.7 million, or $0.19 per common share after including a $7.3 million dividend to preferred shareholders. This compares to net income of $35.4 million, or $0.28 per common share for the first quarter of 2009, and net income of $47.4 million, or $0.37 per common share, for the second quarter of 2008.

Net income available to common shareholders was $10.7 million, or $0.08 per common share, for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to net income of $113.8 million, or $0.89 per common share, for the first half of 2008.

The provision for loan losses for the quarter was $155.0 million compared to $105.4 million for the first quarter of 2009, and $59.0 million for the same period one year ago. Net charge offs for the quarter were $61.1 million compared to $57.6 million for the first quarter of 2009, and $37.0 million for the second quarter of 2008. Nonperforming loans were $733.4 million at June 30, 2009 compared to $452.2 million at March 31, 2009. The higher provision is primarily due to further deterioration of existing construction and commercial real estate credits and declining commercial real estate collateral values.

“The higher than anticipated provision is a result of the continued weakness in the economy and related stress on our customers,” said Associated Chairman and CEO Paul S. Beideman. “While we believe loan loss provisions and charge offs will remain elevated, we expect the pace of deterioration to moderate in future quarters.”

Net interest income for the quarter was $179.1 million compared to $189.3 million for the first quarter of 2009 and $172.7 million for the same quarter a year ago. The company’s net interest margin was 3.40% compared to 3.59% at March 31, 2009 and 3.65% at June 30, 2008. The challenging economic climate had a negative impact on the company’s net interest margin during the quarter. Specifically, the lower net interest margin was due to an increase in the level of nonperforming loans along with lower loan balances and higher investment securities prepayments which were reinvested at lower spreads. These factors were partially offset by improved deposit pricing and higher spreads on new and renewed loans.

On average, loans were $16.1 billion for the second quarter of 2009 compared to $16.4 billion for the first quarter of 2009 as the company continues to experience declines in both commercial and retail balances. Deposits, on average, were $16.1 billion for the second quarter of 2009, up $1.1 billion compared to first quarter 2009 and up $2.6 billion for the same period one year ago.

Mortgage loans originated for sale during the second quarter continued to be strong at $1.3 billion, an increase of $255.4 million from the first quarter of 2009 and up $903.4 million from the second quarter of 2008. For the second quarter 2009, net mortgage banking income was $28.3 million compared to $4.3 million for the first quarter of 2009. Second quarter mortgage banking results included a $9.6 million valuation recovery related to mortgage servicing rights, compared to a $12.3 million valuation charge in the first quarter of 2009.

Core fee-based revenue was $64.9 million for the second quarter of 2009 compared to $61.4 million for the first quarter of 2009 and $68.5 million in second quarter 2008. Year-over-year reductions occurred in consumer fee-based revenue due to weaker consumer activity, and equity market declines resulted in lower asset management and brokerage revenue.

Total noninterest expenses were $170.0 million, up $28.8 million from $141.3 million in the first quarter 2009. Second quarter 2009 noninterest expenses were higher in several categories, including FDIC insurance costs which increased $12.3 million largely due to an $11.3 million special assessment imposed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). Other significant increases include foreclosure and OREO expenses, up $8.6 million primarily due to a $7 million write-down on a foreclosed property, and a $1.3 million increase in legal expenses due to an increased level of loan work outs. The efficiency ratio increased to 58.65% in the second quarter of 2009, up from 51.31% in the previous quarter and 50.75% in the second quarter 2008.

Total income tax benefit was $26.6 million for the second quarter of 2009, an increase of $15.5 million from the $11.1 million benefit in the first quarter of 2009. The increase in income tax benefit is primarily due to the level of pretax income (loss) between quarters. In addition, the company recorded a $17.0 million net decrease in the valuation allowance on and changes to State deferred tax assets in the first quarter of 2009. In the second quarter, the company recorded a $5 million decrease in the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.
