United Western Bancorp, Inc. Reports 2009 Third Quarter Results

United Western Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: UWBK) (the "Company"), a Denver-based holding company whose principal subsidiary, United Western Bank® (the "Bank"), is a community bank focused on expansion across Colorado's Front Range market and selected mountain communities, announced results for its 2009 third quarter.

For the third quarter of 2009, the Company incurred a loss from continuing operations of $8.7 million. On September 22, 2009, the Company issued 20 million shares of its common stock in a public offering. Had these shares been outstanding for the entire third quarter, the loss per share for the quarter would have been $(.30). Based on the weighted average number of shares that were outstanding during the period the loss was $(.95) per share. The loss was attributable to three principal factors: (i) $10.1 million of provision for credit losses, or $6.3 million net of tax, (ii) a net other-than-temporary impairment charge on non-agency mortgage backed securities of $2.8 million, or $1.7 million net of tax, and (iii) during the third quarter, the Company held approximately $370 million of short term liquidity on its balance sheet, which resulted in an approximate 47 basis point reduction in net interest margin for the period. The Company reported a loss from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2009 of $33.7 million, or ($4.71) per share, and income from continuing operations for the third quarter of 2008 of $1.5 million, or $.21 per diluted share. See Appendix I to this earnings release for a reconciliation of our adjusted core earnings and weighted average shares outstanding.

Scot T. Wetzel, President and Chief Executive Officer said: "During the third quarter, we successfully raised $74.4 million, net of expenses, in a common stock offering, and together with an over-allotment option exercised in October, we raised a total of $81.8 million net of expenses. Our community bank deposits increased $193 million, or 100%, during the first nine months of the year, as consumers and businesses seek a solid community banking franchise for their funds. We were cautious in the utilization of this liquidity, which resulted in high cash balances on our balance sheet that negatively impacted our net interest margin. We continue to focus on working diligently and strategically for our customers and shareholders."

William D. Snider, Chief Financial Officer, said: "We continued with our efforts to strengthen the balance sheet and plan for the future. The balance sheet strengthening actions in the third quarter included increasing capital, increasing liquidity, and risk reduction through increased reserves, a decline in exposure to construction and development loans and increasing core community bank deposits. We increased the Company's leverage ratio by almost 300 basis points to 7.43% with our equity raise, reduced exposure to land loans, and added to the allowance which grew to 2.21% in total and 2.47% for community bank loans. At September 30, 2009, nonperforming community bank loans held for investment were $24.6 million. Net charge-offs for the third quarter of 2009 were $8.4 million. Net interest margin declined 48 basis points to 2.84% for the third quarter of 2009 compared to 3.32% for the second quarter of 2009. This was principally due to a decline in the yield on interest earning assets caused by higher levels of liquidity that we maintained on our balance sheet."

Average community bank loans increased $35.2 million in the third quarter of 2009 to $1.167 billion as compared to $1.132 billion for the second quarter of 2009. The yield on community bank loans declined eight basis points to 5.34% for the third quarter as compared to 5.42% for the second quarter as a result of an increase in the average balance of nonperforming construction and development loans, which reduced interest income approximately $259,000. The yield on community bank loans in the year ago quarter was 6.19%, when the average prime rate of interest was 175 basis points higher than for the quarter ended September 30, 2008.

Average wholesale assets declined $76.8 million in the third quarter of 2009 to $838.5 million as compared to $915.2 million in the second quarter of 2009. The yield on wholesale assets declined eighteen basis points to 4.42% in the third quarter of 2009 as compared to 4.60% in the second quarter of 2009. The principal cause of the decline in the yield was due to adjustable rate residential loans that have repriced to current rates. In the year ago period, average wholesale assets were $1.1 billion and yielded 4.99%.

Average other interest earning assets increased $209.4 million based on our decision to maintain additional liquidity on our balance sheet in the current environment together with strong deposit growth. The average balance of other interest earning assets was $382 million for the third quarter, compared to $172.7 million for the second quarter. The yield was 26 basis points for the third quarter compared to 36 basis points in the second quarter.

The Company's cost of interest-bearing liabilities declined two basis points to 1.48% for the third quarter, compared with 1.50% for the second quarter. This decrease can be primarily attributed to the decline in rates paid on certificates of deposit. The average balance of interest bearing liabilities increased $172.7 million, which caused interest expense to increase over the second quarter level. In the year ago period the cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 1.73%.

We expect net interest margin to improve prospectively from the following actions: (i) future reductions in our institutional deposit base in order to reduce excess liquidity, (ii) continued disciplined loan pricing and (iii) fourth quarter 2009 maturities of certain higher-cost wholesale funding.

In the third quarter of 2009, provision for credit losses was $10.1 million, compared with $6.3 million for the second quarter of 2009 and $2.2 million for the third quarter of 2008.

Net charge-offs of community bank loans held for investment for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, were $8.3 million, compared to $842,000 for the second quarter of 2009, and $13,000 for the third quarter of 2008. There were four relationships in our C&D portfolio that accounted for $6.9 million of the net charge-offs in the third quarter of 2009, including the complete charge-off of one out-of-market loan, and another loan that the Bank successfully moved to real estate owned as part of its classified asset management strategy.

Overall at September 30, 2009, our allowance for credit losses as a percent of loans held for investment increased to 2.21%, as compared to 2.02% at June 30, 2009, and 1.16% at September 30, 2008.

The allowance for loan losses attributed to community bank loans as a percent of community bank loans for the periods shown above was 2.47%, 2.26%, and 1.33%, respectively.

Based on constant review of our loan portfolio, the current level of delinquencies and our outlook for the economic environment in the short run, we considered it prudent to continue to build our reserves in the quarter.

The Company incurred OTTI charges on three of its non-agency mortgage-backed securities in the third quarter of 2009. Two securities subject to OTTI were the same securities for which OTTI was incurred in the second quarter of 2009 and third quarter of 2008. The other security subject to an OTTI charge in the third quarter of 2009 was a security that demonstrated weaknesses in performance similar to the other OTTI securities; the charge was $2 million for this other security.

Gain on sale of SBA originated loans improved in the third quarter and there is evidence of a recovery of this market activity. We believe it is possible that this business sector will allow for increased levels of sales in future quarters.

Compensation and employee benefits increased $441,000 to $7.0 million in the third quarter compared with $6.6 million in the second quarter. The increase in the third quarter of 2009 compared to the second quarter of 2009 was the result of an increase in incentive compensation related to loan originations, deposit growth and loan sales for the period and modestly higher medical insurance costs.

After the completion of the sale of certain assets of UW Trust at the end of June 2009, the Company incurred subaccounting fees on the custodial deposits transferred to the buyer. During the third quarter of 2009, the increase of $2.4 million in subaccounting fees was the result of this sale. Between the third quarter of 2009 and the third quarter of 2008, the fee increased as a result of the sale of certain assets of UW Trust, adjusted for decline in the underlying index upon which the subaccounting fees are tied.

The fair value adjustment on loans held for sale increased $48,000 between the third quarter of 2009 and the second quarter of 2009. During the third quarter, an increase in the level of delinquencies required an addition to the valuation account.

Other expense decreased $1.7 million between the third quarter of 2009 and the second quarter of 2009. During the second quarter of 2009, the Company incurred a $1.8 million loss on the disposition of legacy assets owned by a non-core subsidiary, and a $672,000 loss at the UWBK Colorado Fund LLC, incurred on a loan that paid off in full at United Western Bank. In addition, between the second quarter of 2009 and the third quarter of 2009, there was an $888,000 decline in FDIC assessments, principally the result of the $1.2 million special assessment incurred during the second quarter. Partially offsetting these declines was an increase in real estate owned expense and loan collection expenses of approximately $1.3 million.

Income Taxes. For the quarter ended September 30, 2009, the Company's effective tax rate was (38.2%). The Company's tax rate was 25.5% for the second quarter of 2009 and (118.2%) for the third quarter of 2008.

Balance Sheet. The Company's assets were $2.63 billion at September 30, 2009, compared with $2.26 billion at December 31, 2008, and $2.24 billion at September 30, 2008. Assets grew $368 million in the first nine months of 2009 due to $289 million of deposit growth, including escrow balances, our equity capital raise, and our decision to maintain increased liquidity on our balance sheet.

At September 30, 2009, community bank loans held for investment increased $30 million from December 31, 2008, inclusive of the $43.1 million note received in connection with the UW Trust asset sale. Absent the UW Trust asset sale note, community bank loans decreased a modest $14 million in the first nine months of 2009, which is consistent with our balance sheet management plan implemented in 2008.

We are reducing our exposure to construction and development ("C&D") loans. As a percentage of the total held for investment loan portfolio, C&D loans decreased to 30.4% at September 30, 2009, compared to 32.1% at December 31, 2008. In addition, our land loan exposure declined $24.9 million in that same period. We have established a goal to reduce C&D loans to 25% of our total held for investment loan portfolio. Commitments to fund C&D loans declined to $42.8 million at September 30, 2009 compared to $151.2 million at December 31, 2008.

In the first nine months of 2009, wholesale loans declined $44.3 million as a result of repayments.

Total nonperforming assets have increased as shown in the table above. During the third quarter, there was a modest decline in nonperforming wholesale loans partially offset by a modest increase in community bank nonperforming, and in total nonperforming loans declined slightly in the third quarter of 2009 as compared to the second quarter of 2009. We continue to manage these problem loans with anticipatory actions including conducting regular reviews of loans, obtaining current independent appraisals, and taking other appropriate actions to work with our customers to a satisfactory resolution.

During the third quarter of 2009, we moved the largest nonperforming asset as of June 30, 2009, into real estate owned, which resulted in a $6.9 million increase in REO. In addition, we moved two other former community bank loans totaling $2.2 million at September 30, 2009, into real estate owned. The balance of the increase was due to wholesale residential foreclosures during the period.

The table below shows the nonperforming loans that are held for sale which are subject to the fair value adjustment for loans held for sale:

Nonperforming residential loans increased $814,000 in the third quarter. This increase is generally consistent with delinquency trends in the national marketplace. There were no residential charge-offs from the held for sale portfolio during the period.

Multifamily nonperforming loans held for sale did not change for the third quarter and represents one loan in the process of foreclosure.

Investment Securities

At September 30, 2009, the Company's held to maturity mortgage-backed investment security portfolio had an amortized cost of $363 million. The Company's available for sale mortgage-backed investment security portfolio had a fair value of $35 million, or approximately $3 million below cost.

As shown above in noninterest income, the Company incurred $2.8 million net other-than-temporary impairment charges ("OTTI") on three private label mortgage-backed securities during the third quarter of 2009. To date these securities have been written down to 39% of the remaining unpaid principal balance, which represents our best estimate of anticipated recovery.

Our exposure to non-agency mortgage-backed securities decreased $33 million from repayments in the third quarter and decreased $134 million since December 31, 2008, as a result of the previously disclosed sale of $47 million of mortgage-backed securities secured by option-adjustable-rate mortgage loans during the second quarter and year-to date repayments. At September 30, 2009, risk based capital regulations required the Bank to allocate $86.9 million of capital to support the $333.2 million book value of non-agency mortgage-backed securities portfolio, of which $77.1 million of capital was allocated to $138.0 million of nonagency mortgage-backed securities subject to the direct credit substitute methodology.

The level of repayments has positively impacted the values of non-agency mortgage-backed securities in the third quarter of 2009 as well as resulting in a corresponding reduction in risk of loss related to those repayments. However, a continued increase in the levels of delinquencies, foreclosures and incurred losses by the underlying loans that collateralize mortgage-backed securities owned by the Company may result in additional OTTI charges prospectively.

Deposits. At September 30, 2009, deposits, including custodial escrow balances, increased $289 million to $2.04 billion, as compared with $1.75 billion at December 31, 2008. Community bank deposits increased $92 million, or 32%, in the third quarter of 2009 to $385 million at September 30, 2009, versus $293 million at June 30, 2009. During the third quarter of 2009, community bank deposits increased as a result of successful marketing efforts which resulted in higher money market account balances and certificates of deposit.

Capital. At September 30, 2009, after completion of the Company's common equity raise, the Company's equity leverage ratio was 7.43% compared with 5.35% at June 30, 2009. At September 30, 2009, the Bank's Tier-1 core capital, total risk-based and Tier-1 risk-based capital ratios were 8.77%, 11.07% and 9.82%, respectively, all of which are in excess of regulatory requirements of 5%, 10% and 6%, respectively.

The Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") conducted a regularly scheduled examination of the Company's and Bank's condition as of March 30, 2009. Upon completion of the examination the OTS found certain matters that required the attention of management and the Company's and the Bank's Board of Directors. The Bank has received a proposed memorandum of understanding from the OTS and although the memorandum of understanding has not yet been finalized, once finalized and executed the memorandum of understanding could require the Company and the Bank to take certain actions concerning capital, dividends, debt and stock redemptions, and asset and liability concentrations. The Company expects that the terms of the memorandum of understanding will be finalized in the near future.
