7 - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
|
The
Company recognizes the cost of stock-based associate stock compensation in
accordance with SFAS No. 123R, "Share-Based Payment” (Revised) under the
fair value method.
As of
March 31, 2009, the Company had three stock-based compensation plans, consisting
of the 2008 Associate Stock Incentive Plan ("ASIP"), the 2005 Associate Stock
Purchase Plan ("ASPP"), and the 2005 Director Stock Purchase Plan
("DSPP"). Total compensation expense associated with these plans for
the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 was approximately $184,000 and
$192,000, respectively. In the first quarter of 2008, under the
provisions of an incentive plan substantially similar to the ASIP, the Company
reversed approximately $577,000 in related stock compensation expense in
conjunction with the termination of the Company’s 2011 strategic
initiative.
ASIP. The
Company's ASIP allows the Company's Board of Directors to award key associates
various forms of equity-based incentive compensation. Under the ASIP,
all participants in this plan are eligible to earn an equity award, in the form
of restricted stock. The award for 2009 is tied to an internally
established earnings goal. The grant-date fair value of the
compensation award for 2009 is approximately $718,000. In addition,
each plan participant is eligible to receive from the Company a tax supplement
bonus equal to 31% of the stock award value at the time of
issuance. A total of 53,795 shares are eligible for
issuance.
A total
of 875,000 shares of common stock have been reserved for issuance under the
ASIP. To date, the Company has issued a total of 67,022 shares of
common stock under the ASIP.
Executive Stock Option
Agreement. Prior to 2007, the Company maintained a stock
option arrangement for a key executive officer (William G. Smith, Jr. -
Chairman, President and CEO, CCBG). The status of the options granted
under this arrangement is detailed in the table provided below. In
2007, the Company replaced its practice of entering into a stock option
arrangement by establishing a Performance Share Unit Plan under the provisions
of the ASIP that allows the executive to earn shares based on the compound
annual growth rate in diluted earnings per share over a three-year
period. The details of this program for the executive are outlined in
a Form 8-K filing dated January 31, 2007. No expense related to this
plan was recognized for the first three months of 2009 and 2008 as results fell
short of the earnings performance goal.
A summary
of the status of the Company’s option shares as of March 31, 2009 is presented

option shares granted under the agreements.
DSPP. The
Company's DSPP allows the directors to purchase the Company's common stock at a
price equal to 90% of the closing price on the date of
purchase. Stock purchases under the DSPP are limited to the amount of
the director’s annual cash compensation. The DSPP has 93,750 shares
reserved for issuance. A total of 50,736 shares have been issued
since the inception of the DSPP. For the first quarter of 2009, the
Company recognized approximately $8,702 in expense related to this
plan. For the first quarter of 2008, the Company recognized
approximately $16,000 in expense related to the DSPP.
ASPP. Under the
Company's ASPP, substantially all associates may purchase the Company's common
stock through payroll deductions at a price equal to 90% of the lower of the
fair market value at the beginning or end of each six-month offering
period. Stock purchases under the ASPP are limited to 10% of an
associate's eligible compensation, up to a maximum of $25,000 (fair market value
on each enrollment date) in any plan year. Shares are issued at the
beginning of the quarter following each six-month offering
period. The ASPP has 593,750 shares of common stock reserved for
issuance. A total of 96,757 shares have been issued since inception
of the ASPP. For each of the first three months of 2009 and 2008, the
Company recognized approximately $30,000 in expense related to this
plan.

9 - COMMITMENTS AND
CONTINGENCIES
|
Lending
Commitments. The Company is a party to financial instruments
with off-balance sheet risks in the normal course of business to meet the
financing needs of its clients. These financial instruments consist
of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit.
The
Company’s maximum exposure to credit loss under standby letters of credit and
commitments to extend credit is represented by the contractual amount of those
instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in
establishing commitments and issuing letters of credit as it does for on-balance
sheet instruments. As of March 31, 2009, the amounts associated with
the Company’s off-balance sheet obligations were as follows:

$

|
||
Standby
Letters of Credit
|
$
|

|
(1)
|
Commitments include unfunded
loans, revolving lines of credit, and other unused
commitments.
|
Commitments
to extend credit are agreements to lend to a client so long as there is no
violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments
generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may
require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected
to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not
necessarily represent future cash requirements.
Contingencies. The
Company is a party to lawsuits and claims arising out of the normal course of
business. In management's opinion, there are no known pending claims
or litigation, the outcome of which would, individually or in the aggregate,
have a material effect on the consolidated results of operations, financial
position, or cash flows of the Company.
Indemnification
Obligation. The Company is a member of the Visa U.S.A.
network. Visa U.S.A believes that its member banks are required to
indemnify Visa U.S.A. for potential future settlement of certain litigation (the
“Covered Litigation”). The Company recorded a charge in its fourth
quarter 2007 financial statements of approximately $1.9 million, or $0.07 per
diluted common share, to recognize its proportionate contingent liability
related to the costs of the judgments and settlements from the Covered
Litigation.
The
Company reversed a portion of the Covered Litigation accrual in the amount of
approximately $1.1 million to account for the establishment of an escrow account
by Visa Inc., the parent company of Visa U.S.A., in conjunction with Visa’s
initial public offering during the first quarter of 2008. This escrow
account was established to pay the costs of the judgments and settlements from
the Covered Litigation. Approximately $0.8 million remains accrued
for the contingent liability related to remaining Covered
Litigation.
In
October 2008, Visa U.S.A. reached a settlement with Discover Financial Services
related to a case within the Covered Litigation and as a result, the Company
estimated that the settlement incrementally added $0.4 million to the fair value
of its potential guarantee liability. Following the Discover
settlement, Visa U.S.A. funded an additional $1.1 billion to the escrow account
during December which in effect reduced the exchange ratio for the Company’s
Class B shares of Visa U.S.A. While the Company could be required to
separately fund its proportionate share of any Covered Litigation losses, it is
expected that the escrow account will be used to pay all or a substantial amount
of any losses.

NOTE
10 - COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
SFAS No.
130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," requires that certain transactions and
other economic events that bypass the income statement be displayed as other
comprehensive income. Comprehensive income totaled $.9 million for
the three months ended March 31, 2009 and $8.3 million for the comparable period
in 2008. The Company’s comprehensive income consists of net income
and changes in unrealized gains and losses on securities available-for-sale (net
of income taxes) and changes in the pension liability (net of
taxes). The after-tax increase in net unrealized gains on securities
totaled approximately $260,000 and $986,000, respectively, for the three months
ended March 31, 2009 and 2008. Reclassification adjustments consist
only of realized gains and losses on sales of investment securities and were not
material for the same comparable periods. There was no change in the
company’s pension liability for the period ended March 31, 2009 as this
liability is adjusted on an annual basis at December 31st.
NOTE
11 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The
Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value
Measurements," for financial assets and financial liabilities effective January
1, 2008. Subsequently, on January 1, 2009, the Company adopted SFAS
No. 157-2 "Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157" for non-financial
assets and non-financial liabilities. SFAS No. 157 defines fair
value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted
accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value
measurements.
SFAS 157
defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid
to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. A
fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or
transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability
or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the
asset or liability. The price in the principal (or most advantageous)
market used to measure the fair value of the asset or liability shall not be
adjusted for transaction costs. An orderly transaction is a
transaction that assumes exposure to the market for a period prior to the
measurement date to allow for marketing activities that are usual and customary
for transactions involving such assets and liabilities; it is not a forced
transaction. Market participants are buyers and sellers in the
principal market that are (i) independent, (ii) knowledgeable,
(iii) able to transact, and (iv) willing to transact.
SFAS 157
requires the use of valuation techniques that are consistent with the market
approach, the income approach and/or the cost approach. The market
approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market
transactions involving identical or comparable assets and
liabilities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert
future amounts, such as cash flows or earnings, to a single present amount on a
discounted basis. The cost approach is based on the amount that
currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset
(replacement cost). Valuation techniques should be consistently
applied. Inputs to valuation techniques refer to the assumptions that
market participants would use in pricing the asset or
liability. Inputs may be observable, meaning those that reflect the
assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability
developed based on market data obtained from independent sources, or
unobservable, meaning those that reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions
about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or
liability developed based on the best information available in the
circumstances. In that regard, SFAS 157 establishes a fair value
hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices
in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to
unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as
follows:
Level 1 Inputs -
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the
measurement date.
Level 2 Inputs - Inputs
other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the
asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted
prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for
identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active,
inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability
(such as interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.) or
inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market data by
correlation or other means.
Level 3 Inputs -
Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or
liabilities that reflect an entity's own assumptions about the assumptions that
market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.
A
description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair
value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the
valuation hierarchy, is set forth below. These valuation methodologies were
applied to all of the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities
carried at fair value effective January 1, 2008.
In
general, fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where
available. If such quoted market prices are not available, fair value
is based upon models that primarily use, as inputs, observable market-based
parameters. Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure that
financial instruments are recorded at fair value. These adjustments
may include amounts to reflect counterparty credit quality, the Company’s
creditworthiness, among other things, as well as unobservable
parameters. Any such valuation adjustments are applied consistently
over time. The Company’s valuation methodologies may produce a fair
value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or
reflective of future fair values. While management believes the Company’s
valuation methodologies are appropriate and consistent with other market
participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the
fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate
of fair value at the reporting date.
Securities Available for
Sale. Securities
classified as available for sale are reported at fair value on a recurring basis
utilizing Level 1, 2, or 3 inputs. For these securities, the
Company obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service or a
model that uses, as inputs, observable market based parameters. The
fair value measurements consider observable data that may include quoted prices
in active markets, or other inputs, including dealer quotes, market spreads,
cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution
data, market consensus prepayment speeds, and credit information and the bond's
terms and conditions.
The
following table summarizes financial assets and financial liabilities measured
at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2009, segregated by the level
of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair
value:

Certain
financial and non-financial assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring
basis are detailed below; that is, the instruments are not measured at fair
value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain
circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of
impairment). Financial and non-financial liabilities measured at fair
value on a nonrecurring basis were not significant at March 31,
2009.
Impaired Loans. On
a non-recurring basis, certain impaired loans are reported at the fair value of
the underlying collateral if repayment is expected solely from the liquidation
of collateral. Collateral values are estimated using Level 3 inputs
based on customized discounting criteria. Impaired loans had a
carrying value of $124.4 million, with a valuation allowance of $17.6 million,
resulting in an additional provision for loan losses of $1.7 million for the
three month period ended March 31, 2009.
Loans Held for Sale. Loans held
for sale were $8.8 million as of March 31, 2009 – these loans are carried at the
lower of cost or fair value and are adjusted to fair value on a nonrecurring
basis. Fair value is based on observable markets rates for comparable
loan products which is considered a level 2 fair value measurement.
Other Real Estate
Owned. During the first quarter of 2009, certain foreclosed
assets, upon initial recognition, were measured and reported at fair value
through a charge-off to the allowance for possible loan losses based on the fair
value of the foreclosed asset. The fair value of the foreclosed
asset, upon initial recognition, is estimated using Level 2 inputs based on
observable market data or Level 3 inputs based on customized discounting
criteria. Foreclosed assets measured at fair value upon initial
recognition totaled $3.9 million (utilizing Level 2 valuation inputs) during the
three months ended March 31, 2009. In connection with the measurement
and initial recognition of the foregoing foreclosed assets, the Company
recognized gross charge-offs to the allowance for loan losses totaling $0.8
million. In addition, the Company recognized subsequent losses
totaling $0.6 million for foreclosed assets that were re-valued during the three
months ended March 31, 2009.

NOTE
12 – NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards
SFAS No. 141, “Business
Combinations (Revised 2007).” SFAS 141R replaces
SFAS 141, “Business Combinations,” and applies to all transactions and
other events in which one entity obtains control over one or more other
businesses. SFAS 141R requires an acquirer, upon initially obtaining
control of another entity, to recognize the assets, liabilities and any
non-controlling interest in the acquiree at fair value as of the acquisition
date. Contingent consideration is required to be recognized and measured
at fair value on the date of acquisition rather than at a later date when the
amount of that consideration may be determinable beyond a reasonable doubt.
This fair value approach replaces the cost-allocation process required
under SFAS 141 whereby the cost of an acquisition was allocated to the
individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair
value. SFAS 141R requires acquirers to expense acquisition-related
costs as incurred rather than allocating such costs to the assets acquired and
liabilities assumed, as was previously the case under SFAS 141. Under
SFAS 141R, the requirements of SFAS 146, “Accounting for Costs
Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities,” would have to be met in order to
accrue for a restructuring plan in purchase accounting. Pre-acquisition
contingencies are to be recognized at fair value, unless it is a non-contractual
contingency that is not likely to materialize, in which case, nothing should be
recognized in purchase accounting and, instead, that contingency would be
subject to the probable and estimable recognition criteria of SFAS 5,
“Accounting for Contingencies.” SFAS 141R is applicable to the
Company’s accounting for business combinations closing on or after
January 1, 2009.
SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling
Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB Statement
No. 51.” SFAS 160 amends Accounting Research
Bulletin (ARB) No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements,” to establish
accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a
subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS 160
clarifies that a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary, which is sometimes
referred to as minority interest, is an ownership interest in the consolidated
entity that should be reported as a component of equity in the consolidated
financial statements. Among other requirements, SFAS 160 requires
consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts
attributable to both the parent and the non-controlling interest. It also
requires disclosure, on the face of the consolidated income statement, of the
amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the
non-controlling interest. SFAS 160 became effective for the Company
on January 1, 2009 and did not have an impact on the Company’s financial
statements.
SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures
About Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an Amendment of FASB
Statement No. 133.” SFAS 161 amends SFAS 133, “Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” to amend and expand the
disclosure requirements of SFAS 133 to provide greater transparency about
(i) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (ii) how
derivative instruments and related hedge items are accounted for under
SFAS 133 and its related interpretations, and (iii) how derivative
instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position,
results of operations and cash flows. To meet those objectives,
SFAS 161 requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies
for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of
gains and losses on derivative instruments and disclosures about
credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements.
SFAS 161 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2009 and
did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Financial
Accounting Standards Board Staff Positions and Interpretations
FSP No. EITF 03-6-1,
“Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are
Participating Securities.” FSP EITF 03-6-1 provides
that unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to
dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating
securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share
pursuant to the two-class method. FSP EITF 03-6-1 became effective on
January 1, 2009 and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s
financial statements.
FSP No. 132(R)-1 “Employers’
Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan
Assets.” FSP 132(R)-1 provides guidance related to an
employer’s disclosures about plan assets of defined benefit pension or other
post-retirement benefit plans. Under FSP 132(R)-1, disclosures should
provide users of financial statements with an understanding of how investment
allocation decisions are made, the factors that are pertinent to an
understanding of investment policies and strategies, the major categories of
plan assets, the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure the fair value
of plan assets, the effect of fair value measurements using significant
unobservable inputs on changes in plan assets for the period and significant
concentrations of risk within plan assets. The disclosures required by
FSP 132(R)-1 will be included in the Company’s financial statements
beginning with the financial statements for the year-ended December 31,
2009.
FSP SFAS 157-4, “Determining
Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have
Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not
Orderly.” FSP SFAS 157-4 affirms that the objective
of fair value when the market for an asset is not active is the price that would
be received to sell the asset in an orderly transaction, and clarifies and
includes additional factors for determining whether there has been a significant
decrease in market activity for an asset when the market for that asset is not
active. FSP SFAS 157-4 requires an entity to base its conclusion
about whether a transaction was not orderly on the weight of the evidence.
FSP SFAS 157-4 also amended SFAS 157, “Fair Value
Measurements,” to expand certain disclosure requirements. The Company will
adopt the provisions of FSP 157-4 during the second quarter of
2009. The adoption of FSP SFAS 157-4 is not expected to
significantly impact the Company’s financial statements.
FSP SFAS 115-2 and
SFAS 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary
Impairments.” FSP SFAS 115-2 and SFAS 124-2
(i) changes existing guidance for determining whether an impairment is
other than temporary to debt securities and (ii) replaces the existing
requirement that the entity’s management assert it has both the intent and
ability to hold an impaired security until recovery with a requirement that
management assert: (a) it does not have the intent to sell the security;
and (b) it is more likely than not it will not have to sell the security
before recovery of its cost basis. Under FSP SFAS 115-2 and
SFAS 124-2, declines in the fair value of held-to-maturity and
available-for-sale securities below their cost that are deemed to be other than
temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses to the extent the
impairment is related to credit losses. The amount of the impairment
related to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income. The
Company will adopt the provisions of FSP SFAS 115-2 and
SFAS 124-2 during the second quarter of 2009. The adoption
of FSP SFAS 115-2 and SFAS 124-2 is not expected to significantly
impact the Company’s financial statements.
FSP SFAS 107-1 and APB 28-1,
“Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial
Instruments.” FSP SFAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 amends
SFAS 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” to
require an entity to provide disclosures about fair value of financial
instruments in interim financial information and amends Accounting Principles
Board (APB) Opinion No. 28, “Interim Financial Reporting,” to
require those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim
reporting periods. Under FSP SFAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, a publicly
traded company shall include disclosures about the fair value of its financial
instruments whenever it issues summarized financial information for interim
reporting periods. In addition, entities must disclose, in the body or in the
accompanying notes of its summarized financial information for interim reporting
periods and in its financial statements for annual reporting periods, the fair
value of all financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that
value, whether recognized or not recognized in the statement of financial
position, as required by SFAS 107. The new interim disclosures
required by FSP SFAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 will be included in the
Company’s interim financial statements beginning with the second quarter of
2009.
FSP SFAS 141R-1,
“Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business
Combination That Arise from
Contingencies.” FSP SFAS 141R-1 amends the guidance
in SFAS 141R to require that assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a
business combination that arise from contingencies be recognized at fair value
if fair value can be reasonably estimated. If fair value of such an asset
or liability cannot be reasonably estimated, the asset or liability would
generally be recognized in accordance with SFAS 5, “Accounting for
Contingencies,” and FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 14, “Reasonable
Estimation of the Amount of a Loss.” FSP SFAS 141R-1 removes
subsequent accounting guidance for assets and liabilities arising from
contingencies from SFAS 141R and requires entities to develop a systematic
and rational basis for subsequently measuring and accounting for assets and
liabilities arising from contingencies. FSP SFAS 141R-1
eliminates the requirement to disclose an estimate of the range of outcomes of
recognized contingencies at the acquisition date. For unrecognized
contingencies, entities are required to include only the disclosures required by
SFAS 5. FSP SFAS 141R-1 also requires that contingent
consideration arrangements of an acquiree assumed by the acquirer in a business
combination be treated as contingent consideration of the acquirer and should be
initially and subsequently measured at fair value in accordance with
SFAS 141R. FSP SFAS 141R-1 is effective for assets or
liabilities arising from contingencies the Company acquires in business
combinations occurring after January 1, 2009.

MANAGEMENT'S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
|
Management’s
discussion and analysis ("MD&A") provides supplemental information, which
sets forth the major factors that have affected our financial condition and
results of operations and should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated
Financial Statements and related notes. The MD&A is divided into
subsections entitled "Business Overview," "Financial Overview," "Results of
Operations," "Financial Condition," “Market Risk and Interest Rate Sensitivity,”
"Liquidity and Capital Resources," "Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements," and
"Accounting Policies." The following information should provide a
better understanding of the major factors and trends that affect our earnings
performance and financial condition, and how our performance during 2009
compares with prior years. Throughout this section, Capital City Bank
Group, Inc., and subsidiaries, collectively, are referred to as "CCBG,"
"Company," "we," "us," or "our."
In this
MD&A, we present an operating efficiency ratio and an operating net
noninterest expense as a percent of average assets ratio, both of which are not
calculated based on accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States ("GAAP"), but that we believe provide important information regarding our
results of operations. Our calculation of the operating efficiency
ratio is computed by dividing noninterest expense less intangible amortization
and merger expenses, by the sum of tax equivalent net interest income and
noninterest income. We calculate our operating net noninterest
expense as a percent of average assets by subtracting noninterest expense
excluding intangible amortization and merger expenses from noninterest
income. Management uses these non-GAAP measures as part of its
assessment of its performance in managing noninterest expenses. We
believe that excluding intangible amortization and merger expenses in our
calculations better reflect our periodic expenses and is more reflective of
normalized operations.
Although
we believe the above-mentioned non-GAAP financial measures enhance investors’
understanding of our business and performance, these non-GAAP financial measures
should not be considered an alternative to GAAP. In addition, there
are material limitations associated with the use of these non-GAAP financial
measures such as the risks that readers of our financial statements may disagree
as to the appropriateness of items included or excluded in these measures and
that our measures may not be directly comparable to other companies that
calculate these measures differently. Our management compensates for
these limitations by providing detailed reconciliations between GAAP information
and the non-GAAP financial measure as detailed below.

This
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including this MD&A section, contains
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements
include, among others, statements about our beliefs, plans, objectives, goals,
expectations, estimates and intentions that are subject to significant risks and
uncertainties and are subject to change based on various factors, many of which
are beyond our control. The words "may," "could," "should," "would," "believe,"
"anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "plan," "target," "goal," and
similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking
statements.
All
forward-looking statements, by their nature, are subject to risks and
uncertainties. Our actual future results may differ materially from
those set forth in our forward-looking statements. Please see the
Introductory Note and Item 1A.
Risk Factors of our 2008 Report on Form 10-K, as updated
in our subsequent quarterly reports filed on Form 10-Q, and in our other filings
made from time to time with the SEC after the date of this report.
However,
other factors besides those listed in our Quarterly Report or in our Annual
Report also could adversely affect our results, and you should not consider any
such list of factors to be a complete set of all potential risks or
uncertainties. Any forward-looking statements made by us or on our
behalf speak only as of the date they are made. We do not undertake

BUSINESS
OVERVIEW
We are a
financial holding company headquartered in Tallahassee, Florida and we are the
parent of our wholly-owned subsidiary, Capital City Bank (the "Bank" or
"CCB"). The Bank offers a broad array of products and services
through a total of 68 full-service offices located in Florida, Georgia, and
Alabama. The Bank offers commercial and retail banking services, as
well as trust and asset management, retail securities brokerage and data
processing services.
Our
profitability, like most financial institutions, is dependent to a large extent
upon net interest income, which is the difference between the interest received
on earning assets, such as loans and securities, and the interest paid on
interest-bearing liabilities, principally deposits and
borrowings. Results of operations are also affected by the provision
for loan losses, operating expenses such as salaries and employee benefits,
occupancy and other operating expenses including income taxes, and noninterest
income such as service charges on deposit accounts, asset management and trust
fees, retail securities brokerage fees, mortgage banking revenues, bank card
fees, and data processing revenues.
Our
philosophy is to grow and prosper, building long-term relationships based on
quality service, high ethical standards, and safe and sound banking
practices. We maintain a locally oriented, community-based focus,
which is augmented by experienced, centralized support in select specialized
areas. Our local market orientation is reflected in our network of
banking office locations, experienced community executives with a dedicated
President for each market, and community boards which support our focus on
responding to local banking needs. We strive to offer a broad array
of sophisticated products and to provide quality service by empowering
associates to make decisions in their local markets.
Our
long-term vision is to continue our expansion, emphasizing a combination of
growth in existing markets and acquisitions. Acquisitions will
continue to be focused on a three state area including Florida, Georgia, and
Alabama with a particular focus on financial institutions, which are $100
million to $400 million in asset size and generally located on the outskirts of
major metropolitan areas. Five markets have been identified, four in
Florida and one in Georgia, in which management will proactively pursue
expansion opportunities. These markets include Alachua, Marion, and
Hernando and Pasco counties in Florida and the western panhandle in Florida and
Bibb and surrounding counties in central Georgia. We continue to
evaluate de novo expansion opportunities in attractive new markets in the event
that acquisition opportunities are not feasible. Other expansion
opportunities that will be evaluated include asset management and mortgage
banking.

Recent
Industry Developments
The
global and U.S. economies are experiencing significantly reduced business
activity as a result of, among other factors, disruptions in the financial
system in the past year. In fact, the National Bureau of Economic
Research announced that the U.S. had entered into a recession in December
2007. Dramatic declines in the housing market during the past year,
with falling home prices and increasing foreclosures and unemployment, have
resulted in significant write-downs of asset values by financial institutions,
including government-sponsored entities and major commercial and investment
banks. These write-downs, initially of mortgage-backed securities but spreading
to credit default swaps and other derivative securities, as well as other areas
of the credit market, including investment grade and non-investment grade
corporate debt, convertible securities, emerging market debt and equity, and
leveraged loans, have caused many financial institutions to seek additional
capital, to merge with larger and stronger institutions and, in some cases, to
fail.
The
magnitude of these declines led to a crisis of confidence in the financial
sector as a result of concerns about the capital base and viability of certain
financial institutions. During this period, interbank lending and commercial
paper borrowing fell sharply, precipitating a credit freeze for both
institutional and individual borrowers. This market turmoil and
tightening of credit have led to an increased level of consumer and commercial
delinquencies, lack of consumer confidence, increased market volatility and
widespread reduction of business activity generally. The resulting
economic pressure on consumers and lack of confidence in the financial markets
has, in some cases, adversely affected the financial services
industry.
Over the
course of the past year, the landscape of the U.S. financial services industry
changed dramatically, especially during the fourth quarter of
2008. Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. declared bankruptcy and many
major U.S. financial institutions consolidated were forced to merge or were put
into conservatorship by the U.S. Federal Government, including The Bear Stearns
Companies, Inc., Wachovia Corporation, Washington Mutual, Inc., Federal Home
Loan Mortgage Corporation and Federal National Mortgage
Association. In addition, the U.S. Federal Government provided a
sizable loan to American International Group Inc. (“AIG”) in exchange for an
equity interest in AIG.
Much of
our lending operations are in the State of Florida, which has been particularly
hard hit in the current U.S. recession. Evidence of the economic
downturn in Florida is reflected in current unemployment
statistics. The Florida unemployment rate at March 2009 increased to
9.7% from 8.1% at the end of 2008 and 4.7% at the end of 2007, reaching the
highest level since 1976. A worsening of the economic condition in
Florida would likely exacerbate the adverse effects of these difficult market
conditions on our customers, which may have a negative impact on our financial
results.
In
response to the financial crises affecting the banking system and financial
markets and going concern threats to investment banks and other financial
institutions, on October 3, 2008, the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act
of 2008 (the “EESA”) was signed into law. Pursuant to the EESA, the
U.S. Treasury was given the authority to, among other things, purchase up to
$700 billion of mortgages, mortgage-backed securities and certain other
financial instruments from financial institutions for the purpose of stabilizing
and providing liquidity to the U.S. financial markets.
On
October 14, 2008, the Secretary of the Department of the Treasury announced
that the Department of the Treasury will purchase equity stakes in a wide
variety of banks and thrifts. Under the program, known as the Troubled Asset
Relief Program Capital Purchase Program (the “TARP Capital Purchase Program”),
from the $700 billion authorized by the EESA, the Treasury made
$250 billion of capital available to U.S. financial institutions in the
form of preferred stock. In conjunction with the purchase of
preferred stock, the Treasury received, from participating financial
institutions, warrants to purchase common stock with an aggregate market price
equal to 15% of the preferred investment. Participating financial
institutions were required to adopt the Treasury’s standards for executive
compensation and corporate governance for the period during which the Treasury
holds equity issued under the TARP Capital Purchase Program. On
November 13, 2008, we announced that we would not apply for funds available
through the TARP Capital Purchase Program. In March 2009, the U.S.
Treasury announced a public-private investment program (commonly known as
P-PIP), which is designed to (1) remedy the illiquidity in the secondary markets
for certain mortgage-backed securities and (2) create a market for troubled
loans on the balance sheets of U.S. banks and thrifts. At this time,
we have no plans to participate in the P-PIP.
On
November 21, 2008, the Board of Directors of the FDIC adopted a final rule
relating to the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program (“TLG
Program”). The TLG Program was announced by the FDIC on
October 14, 2008 as an initiative to counter the system-wide crisis in the
nation’s financial sector. Under the TLG Program the FDIC will
(i) guarantee, through the earlier of maturity or June 30, 2012,
certain newly issued senior unsecured debt issued by participating institutions
on or after October 14, 2008, and before June 30, 2009 and
(ii) provide full FDIC deposit insurance coverage for non-interest bearing
transaction deposit accounts, Negotiable Order of Withdrawal (“NOW”) accounts
paying less than 0.5% interest per annum and Interest on Lawyers Trust
Accounts held at participating FDIC insured institutions through
December 31, 2009. Coverage under the TLG Program was
available for the first 30 days without charge. The fee
assessment for coverage of senior unsecured debt ranges from 50 basis
points to 100 basis points per annum, depending on the initial maturity of
the debt. The fee for deposit insurance coverage is an annualized
10 basis points assessed on a per quarter basis on amounts in covered
accounts exceeding $250,000. On December 12, 2008, we announced
that we would participate in both guarantee programs.
As an
FDIC-insured institution, the Bank is required to pay deposit insurance premiums
to the FDIC. Because the FDIC’s deposit insurance fund fell below
prescribed levels in 2008, the FDIC has announced increased premiums for all
insured depository institutions in order to begin recapitalizing the
fund. Insurance assessments range from 0.12% to 0.50% of total
deposits for the first calendar quarter 2009 assessment. Effective
April 1, 2009, insurance assessments will range from 0.07% to 0.78%, depending
on an institution's risk classification and other factors.
In
addition, under a proposed rule, the FDIC indicated its plans to impose a 20
basis point emergency assessment on insured depository institutions to be paid
on September 30, 2009, based on deposits at June 30, 2009. FDIC
representatives subsequently indicated the amount of this special assessment
could decrease if certain events transpire. The proposed rule would
also authorize the FDIC to impose an additional emergency assessment of up to 10
basis points after June 30, 2009, if necessary to maintain public confidence in
federal deposit insurance. The emergency assessment if enacted at the
20 basis point level, would generate an additional deposit insurance premium
expense of approximately $4.0 million in 2009 and will be reflected in other
expenses in the period of enactment.

FINANCIAL
OVERVIEW
A summary
overview of our financial performance for the first quarter of 2009 versus the
linked fourth quarter of 2008 and the first quarter of 2008 is provided
below.
Financial
Performance Highlights –
·
|
Net
income for the first quarter of 2009 totaled $.7 million ($0.04 per
diluted share) compared to a net loss of $1.7 million ($0.10 per diluted
share) in the fourth quarter of 2008 and net income of $7.3 million ($0.42
per diluted share) for the first quarter of 2008. Our loan loss
provisions for these respective periods were $8.4 million ($.30 per
share), $12.5 million ($.45 per share), and $4.1 million ($.15 per
share). In addition, net income for the first quarter of 2008
included two Visa Inc. related transactions totaling $2.3 million or $0.13
per diluted share (after-tax).
|
·
|
Tax
equivalent net interest income decreased $.8 million, or 2.8% from the
prior quarter due to two less calendar days and the one-time recapture of
interest from the resolution of a problem loan during the fourth quarter
of 2008. Compared to the first quarter of 2008, tax equivalent
net interest income increased $.5 million, or 1.9%, due to lower interest
expense reflective of aggressive deposit re-pricing in response to the
rate reductions initiated by the Federal Reserve – these actions drove a
43 basis point improvement in our net interest
margin.
|
·
|
Noninterest
income increased $.7 million or 5.5% over the prior quarter and declined
$3.8 million, or 21.1%, from the first quarter of 2008. Higher
mortgage banking fees and bank card fees drove the improvement over the
prior quarter. A one-time $2.4 million gain from the redemption
of Visa shares and a lower level of merchant fees attributable to the sale
of a portion of our merchant services portfolio drove the year over year
decrease.
|
·
|
Noninterest
expense increased $1.3 million, or 4.0%, from the prior quarter and $2.5
million, or 8.3%, from the first quarter of 2008. Higher
pension expense drove the increase for both periods. A one-time
entry of $1.1 million in the first quarter of 2008 to reverse a portion of
our Visa litigation accrual and higher FDIC insurance premiums also
contributed to the year over year
increase.
|
·
|
Loan
loss provision of $8.4 million or 1.6 times net charge-offs for the first
quarter of 2009 reflects a higher level of identified problem loans, which
includes impaired loans, and an increase in loan loss
factors. As of March 31, 2009, the allowance for loan losses
was 2.04% of total loans compared to 1.89% at year-end 2008 and 1.06% at
the end of the first quarter 2008.
|
·
|
We
repurchased approximately 146,000 shares of our common stock during the
first quarter of 2009 at a weighted average share price of
$10.65.
|
·
|
As
of March 31, 2009 we are well-capitalized with a risk based capital ratio
of 14.40% and a tangible capital ratio of 7.63% compared to 14.69% and
7.76%, respectively, at year-end 2008 and 14.01% and 7.73%, respectively,
at March 31, 2008.

RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
Net
Income
Net
income totaled $.7 million ($.04 per diluted share) for the first quarter of
2009 compared to a net loss of $1.7 million ($.10 per diluted share) for the
linked fourth quarter of 2008 and net income of $7.3 million ($.42 per diluted
share) for the first quarter of 2008.
The
increase in net income compared to the linked quarter reflects a lower loan loss
provision ($4.1 million), higher noninterest income ($731,000), partially offset
by lower net interest income ($753,000), higher noninterest expense ($1.3
million) and a lower provision for tax benefits ($158,000).
The year
over year decrease in net income is attributable to a higher loan loss provision
($4.3 million), lower noninterest income ($3.8 million), and higher noninterest
expense ($2.5 million) partially offset by higher net interest income ($537,000)
and lower income tax expense ($3.3 million). Net income for the first
quarter of 2008 included a $2.4 million pre-tax gain from the redemption of Visa
shares related to their initial public offering, the reversal of $1.1 million
(pre-tax) of Visa litigation reserves, and the reversal of $577,000 in accrued
expense for our 2011 Incentive Plan.

Net
Interest Income
Net
interest income represents our single largest source of earnings and is equal to
interest income and fees generated by earning assets, less interest expense paid
on interest bearing liabilities. This information is provided on a
"taxable equivalent" basis to reflect the tax-exempt status of income earned on
certain loans and investments, the majority of which are state and local
government debt obligations. We provide an analysis of our net interest income
including average yields and rates in Table I on page 33.
Tax equivalent net interest income for
the first quarter of 2009 was $27.6 million compared to $27.1 million for the
first quarter of 2008 and $28.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2008. The increase in the net
interest income compared to the first quarter of 2008 primarily reflects
aggressive deposit repricing in response to the rate reductions initiated by the
Federal Reserve, partially offset by higher foregone interest on nonaccrual
loans, a reduction in loan fees and one less calendar day in the first quarter
of 2009.
The
decrease in the net interest income on a linked quarter basis partially reflects
two less calendar days in the first quarter. Additionally, the fourth
quarter of 2008 was favorably impacted by a $784,000 interest recovery
attributable to the resolution of a problem loan, which we acquired in one of
our bank acquisitions several years ago. Lower foregone interest on
nonaccrual loans and an increase in loan fees partially offset the decline in
net interest income.
For the
first quarter of 2009, taxable-equivalent interest income decreased $7.7
million, or 19.6%, over the first quarter in 2008 and $2.2 million, or 7.1%,
from the linked quarter. Taxable equivalent interest income was
unfavorably impacted by the lower rate environment in 2008, the higher level of
foregone interest on non-performing loans and a decline in loan fees, all of
which resulted in lower yields on our earning assets. These factors
produced a 95 basis point decline in the yield on earning assets, which
decreased from 6.87% in the first quarter of 2008 to 5.92% in the comparable
period in 2009. This yield declined 35 basis points when compared to
the linked quarter.
Interest
income is expected to decline further throughout 2009, reflecting the lower
interest rate environment stemming from reductions in the Federal Reserve’s
target rate throughout 2008, and the continued impact of foregone interest
income associated with the current level of nonperforming assets.
Interest
expense decreased $8.2 million, or 66.9%, from the first quarter of 2008, and
$1.4 million, or 26.0%, from the linked quarter. The decrease was
experienced in interest on deposits and short-term borrowings, primarily as a
result of lower average interest rates and a favorable shift in the deposit
mix. Management responded aggressively to the reductions in the
Federal Reserve’s target rate, which began in September 2007 and continued
throughout 2008. We continue to believe the overall impact of the
rate reductions have been successfully neutralized by us aggressively lowering
our deposit rates.
Our
interest rate spread (defined as the average federal taxable-equivalent yield on
earning assets less the average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities)
increased from 4.28% in the first quarter of 2008 to 4.98% in the comparable
period of 2009. The increase was primarily attributable to the rapid
repricing of our deposit base in 2008, which more than offset the adverse impact
of lower rates and higher foregone interest.
Our net
interest margin (defined as federal taxable-equivalent net interest income
divided by average earning assets) was 5.16% in the first three months of 2009,
versus 4.73% for the comparable quarter in 2008. The increase in the
net interest margin compared to the first quarter of 2008 primarily reflects
aggressive deposit repricing in response to the rate reductions initiated by the
Federal Reserve, partially offset by higher foregone interest on nonaccrual
loans, a reduction in loan fees and one less calendar day in the first quarter
of 2009. The net interest margin in the current quarter declined 10
basis points from the 5.26% posted for the linked quarter. The
interest recovery recorded on the resolution of a problem loan added 15 basis
points to the margin in the fourth quarter of 2008. The
improvement in the margin over the linked quarter (after adjusting for the
interest recovery in the fourth quarter) is attributable to the aggressive
deposit repricing.
-20-
Provision
for Loan Losses
The
provision for loan losses for the first quarter of 2009 was $8.4 million
compared to $12.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2008 and $4.1 million for the
first quarter of 2008. The provision for the current quarter reflects
an increase in problem loans, including a higher level of impaired loans, and an
increase in loan loss factors. The reduction in our loan loss
provision compared to the prior quarter is generally due to a slowdown in the
level of loans migrating to nonaccrual status. A lower level of net
charge-offs also contributed to the decline. Net charge-offs in the
first quarter of 2009 totaled $5.2 million, or 1.08%, of average loans compared
to $6.0 million, or 1.24% in the fourth quarter and $1.9 million, or .41% in the
first quarter of 2008. At quarter-end, the allowance for loan losses
was 2.04% of outstanding loans (net of overdrafts) and provided coverage of 35%
of nonperforming loans.

Noninterest
Income
Noninterest
income increased $731,000, or 5.5%, over the linked fourth quarter and declined
$3.8 million, or 21.1% from the first quarter of 2008. Compared to
the prior quarter, the increase is primarily due to higher mortgage banking fees
($292,000) and bank card fees ($476,000). Compared to the comparable
prior year quarter, the decline is due to a $2.4 million gain from the
redemption of Visa shares, which was recognized in the first quarter of 2008,
and a lower level of merchant fees attributable to the sale of a portion of the
merchant services portfolio, which occurred in third quarter of
2008.
Noninterest
income represented 34.22% of operating revenues in the first quarter of 2009
compared to 32.42% in the prior quarter and 40.22% in the first quarter of
2008.

Together called “Bank Card Fees”
Various
significant components of noninterest income are discussed in more detail
below.
Service Charges on Deposit
Accounts. Deposit service charge fees declined $110,000, or
1.6%, from the linked fourth quarter and decreased $68,000, or 1.0%, from the
first quarter of 2008. The decline for the current quarter compared
to both periods is primarily due to a variance in the number of processing
days.
Asset Management
Fees. Fees from asset management activities increased $35,000,
or 3.7%, from the linked fourth quarter and decreased $180,000, or 15.7%, from
the first quarter of 2008. The increase compared to the prior linked
quarter is due to improvement in new business – the decline in revenues compared
to the first quarter of 2008 is due to lower asset values for discretionary
managed accounts reflecting market de-valuation that occurred during the second
half 2008. At March 31, 2009, assets under management
totaled $628.9 million compared to $664.7 million at year-end 2008 and $758.7
million at the end of the first quarter of 2008.
Mortgage Banking
Fees. Mortgage banking fees increased $292,000, or 100.2%,
over the linked fourth quarter and increased $90,000, or 18.3%, over the first
quarter of 2008. The increase for both periods was due to higher
secondary market loan production which realized increases of 82% and 21% over
the comparable periods, respectively, reflective of an increase in homeowner
refinance activity.
Bank Card
Fees. Bank card fees (including merchant services fees,
interchange fees, and ATM/debit card fees) increased $476,000, or 19.8%, over
the linked fourth quarter and decreased $1.1 million, or 27.4%, from the first
quarter of 2008. Compared to the prior quarter, the increase is
primarily due to a lower level of merchant fees and ATM fee adjustments
implemented in early 2009. The decline from the prior year comparable period
reflects a lower level of merchant fees attributable to the sale of a portion of
the merchant services portfolio, which occurred in third quarter of
2008.
Other. Other
income increased $244,000, or 18.7%, from the linked quarter and decreased $2.5
million, or 62.0%, from the first quarter of 2008. A higher income
accrual for an equity investment and miscellaneous recoveries drove the
improvement compared to the prior quarter. A $2.4 million gain from
the redemption of Visa shares recognized in the first quarter of 2008 was the
primary reason for the decline from the prior year comparable
period.

Noninterest
Expense
Noninterest
expense increased $1.3 million, or 4.0%, from the linked fourth quarter and $2.5
million, or 8.3%, from the first quarter of 2008. Compared to the
prior quarter, the increase was due to higher compensation expense of $1.7
million, primarily reflective of an increase in pension plan expense ($904,000)
and associate salary expense ($649,000). Compared to the first
quarter of 2008, the impact of a one-time entry in 2008 of $1.1 million to
reverse a portion of our Visa litigation accrual, higher pension expense in 2009
of $1.0 million, the reversal of $577,000 in accrued expense for our 2011
Incentive Plan (terminated in the first quarter of 2008), and an increase in
2009 FDIC insurance premiums of $0.7 million drove the unfavorable
variance. These increases in expense were partially offset by lower
occupancy expense of $0.3 million and intangible amortization expense of $0.4
million.
The table
below reflects the major components of noninterest expense.

Various
significant components of noninterest expense are discussed in more detail
below.
Compensation. Salaries
and associate benefit expense increased $1.7 million, or 11.3%, from the linked
fourth quarter primarily due to higher associate salaries ($649,000) and pension
expense ($904,000). The increase in pension cost is primarily due to
a decline in the value of pension assets during 2008. The increase in
associate salary expense reflects annual merit raises, but more significantly a
higher accrual for performance incentives, which is typical in the first quarter
as incentive plan expense is reset to its par level and then subsequently
adjusted throughout the year based on actual performance. Compared to
the first quarter of 2008, salaries and benefit expense increased $1.6 million,
or 10.5%, due to pension expense of $1.0 million and the impact of the reversal
of $577,000 in accrued expense during the first quarter of 2008 related to the
termination of our 2011 Incentive Plan. Year over year, associate
salary expense increased $138,000, or 1.1%, reflective of a $356,000 increase in
performance incentives and a $16,000 increase in associate base salaries,
partially offset by favorable variances in realized loan cost of $183,000 and
associate overtime wages of $38,000. Annual merit raises provided to
associates over the past year have been significantly offset by normal attrition
and improved efficiencies which have resulted in a reduction in our associate
headcount since the first quarter of 2008.
Occupancy. Occupancy
expense (including premises and equipment) decreased $188,000, or 3.9%, from the
linked fourth quarter and $261,000, or 5.3%, from the first quarter of 2008,
with the variance for both periods driven by lower expense for maintenance and
repairs (premises and equipment). Some larger capitalized assets that
became fully depreciated or amortized in late 2008 also contributed to the
variance year over year for both depreciation expense and software license
expense.
-23-
Other. Other
noninterest expense decreased $302,000, or 2.8%, from the linked quarter
primarily due to lower intangible amortization expense reflecting the full
amortization of one core deposit asset. Compared to the first quarter
of 2008, other noninterest expense increased $1.4 million, or 15.0%, due to the
impact of a one-time entry of $1.1 million in the first quarter of 2008 to
reverse a portion of our Visa litigation accrual, and higher other real estate
owned expense.
The
operating net noninterest expense ratio (expressed as noninterest income minus
noninterest expense, excluding intangible amortization expense and merger
expenses, as a percent of average assets) was 2.81% for the first quarter of
2009 compared to 2.65% for the linked fourth quarter of 2008 and 1.60% for the
first quarter of 2008. Our operating efficiency ratio (expressed as
noninterest expense, excluding intangible amortization expense and merger
expenses, as a percent of the sum of taxable-equivalent net interest income plus
noninterest income) was 75.07% for the first quarter of 2009 compared to 71.21%
for the linked fourth quarter of 2008 and 63.15% for the first quarter of
2008. The variance in these metrics compared to prior year is
primarily due to the impact of the aforementioned Visa related entries
during the first quarter of 2008.
Income
Taxes
We
realized a tax benefit of $280,000 for the first quarter of 2009 compared to a
tax benefit of $738,000 for the linked fourth quarter of 2008. The
tax benefit realized for both periods reflects the impact of a higher level of
permanent book/tax differences (primarily tax exempt income) in relation to our
book operating profit. For the first quarter of 2008, we realized
income tax expense of $3.0 million, which includes a $425,000 reduction in tax
reserves attributable to the favorable resolution of a tax
contingency. The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2008 was
29.44%.
FINANCIAL
CONDITION
Average
assets increased $23.6 million, or 1.0%, to $2.487 billion for the quarter-ended
March 31, 2009 from $2.463 billion in the fourth quarter of 2008 and decreased
$159.5 million, or 6.0%, from the comparable quarter in 2008. Average
earning assets were $2.166 billion for the first quarter, an increase of $15.4
million, or 0.7% from the fourth quarter of 2008, and a decrease of $135.2
million, or 5.9% from the first quarter of 2008. Compared to the
first quarter of 2008, the decrease in earning assets primarily reflects a
reduction in short-term investments driven by the decline in client deposits
(see discussion below),
partially offset by a $54.5 million increase in average loans and a $6.5 million
increase in investment securities. The loan pipelines increased
during the second half of 2008 due to the efforts of our bankers to reach
clients who are interested in moving or expanding their banking
relationships. Year over year, growth was primarily attributable to
commercial real estate mortgages and home equity loans. The increase
from the fourth quarter is primarily attributable to a $24.0 million increase in
the loan portfolio, which was partially funded by a reduction of $6.4 million in
short-term investments.
Funds
Sold
The Bank
maintained an average net overnight fund (deposits with banks plus fed funds
sold less fed funds purchased) purchased position of $33.9 million during the
first quarter as compared to an average net overnight funds purchased position
of $18.0 million in the fourth quarter. The increase in the net funds
purchased position primarily reflects growth in the loan portfolio partially
offset by deposit growth.
Investment
Securities
Our
investment portfolio is a significant component of our liquidity and
asset/liability management efforts. As of March 31, 2009, the average
investment portfolio decreased $2.1 million, or 1.1%, from the fourth quarter of
2008. We will continue to evaluate the need to purchase securities
for the investment portfolio for the remainder of 2009, taking into
consideration the Bank’s overall liquidity position and pledging
requirements.
Securities
classified as available-for-sale are recorded at fair value and unrealized gains
and losses associated with these securities are recorded, net of tax, as a
separate component of shareowners’ equity. At March 31, 2009 and
December 31, 2008, shareowners’ equity included a net unrealized gain of $2.6
million and $2.3 million, respectively. Investment securities
totaling $6.5 million have an unrealized loss totaling $59,000 and have been in
a loss position for less than 12 months. $2.7 million of our
investment securities have an unrealized loss totaling $20,000 and have been in
a loss position for more than 12 months. These securities are
primarily mortgage-backed securities that are in a loss position because they
were acquired when the general level of interest rates was lower than that on
March 31, 2009. We believe that these securities are only temporarily
impaired and that the full principal will be collected as anticipated; therefore
we do not consider these securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired at
March 31, 2009.
-24-
Loans
Average
loans increased $54.5 million, or 2.9%, from the comparable period in
2008. The loan portfolio was relatively flat for the first half of
2008. Over the past three quarters, net loan growth has been driven
by both higher levels of loan production for commercial real estate, home
equity, and indirect auto loans, and the impact of a slowdown in loan principal
pay-downs and pay-offs. Average loans have also increased from the
fourth quarter of 2008 by $24.0 million, or 1.2%.
We have
been encouraged by the growth in our loan balances, which reflects continued
focus on the sales and service efforts of our bankers. This trend
also reflects the diversity of our loan products and the variety of quality
lending opportunities that we believe our banking relationships and markets
continue to offer. While we strive to identify opportunities to
increase loans outstanding and enhance the portfolio's overall contribution to
earnings, we will only do so by adhering to sound lending principles applied in
a prudent and consistent manner. Thus, we will not relax our
underwriting standards in order to achieve designated growth goals and, where
appropriate, have adjusted our standards to reflect risks inherent in the
current economic environment.
Nonperforming
Assets
Nonperforming
assets of $126.8 million increased from the linked fourth quarter by $18.9
million and from the first quarter of 2008 by $85.7
million. Nonaccrual loans increased $13.3 million and $74.8 million,
respectively, over the same periods. A large portion of the increase
in nonaccrual loans in the first quarter of 2009 is due to the addition of three
large real estate loan relationships, including a student housing development
($5.5 million) and two residential single-family developments ($5.8
million). Vacant residential land loans represented 48% of our
nonaccrual balance at quarter end. In aggregate, a reserve equal to
approximately 29% has been allocated to these land
loans. Restructured loans totaled $5.2 million at the end of the
first quarter reflecting an increase of $3.5 million over year-end and $3.2
million over first quarter 2008. Other real estate owned totaled
$11.4 million at the end of the quarter compared to $9.2 million at year-end
2008 and $3.8 million at the end of the first quarter of
2008. Nonperforming assets represented 6.39% of loans and other real
estate at the end of the first quarter compared to 5.48% at year-end 2008 and
2.14% at the end of the first quarter of 2008.
Allowance
for Loan Losses
We
maintain an allowance for loan losses at a level sufficient to provide for the
estimated credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of the balance sheet
date. Credit losses arise from borrowers’ inability or unwillingness
to repay, and from other risks inherent in the lending process, including
collateral risk, operations risk, concentration risk and economic
risk. All related risks of lending are considered when assessing the
adequacy of the loan loss reserve. The allowance for loan losses is
established through a provision charged to expense. Loans are charged
against the allowance when management believes collection of the principal is
unlikely. The allowance for loan losses is based on management's
judgment of overall loan quality. This is a significant estimate
based on a detailed analysis of the loan portfolio. The balance can
and will change based on changes in the assessment of the portfolio's overall
credit quality. We evaluate the
adequacy of the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis.
The
allowance for loan losses was $40.2 million at March 31, 2009 compared to $37.0
million at December 31, 2008. The allowance for loan losses was 2.04%
of outstanding loans (net of overdrafts) and provided coverage of 35% of
nonperforming loans at March 31, 2009 compared to 1.89% and 38%, respectively,
at year-end 2008. The increase in our allowance for the current
period is due to a higher level of impaired loan reserves, primarily for new
nonaccrual loans. Higher loan loss factors and an increase in the
level of problem loans also increased the level of required general
reserves. It is management’s opinion that the allowance at March 31,
2009 is adequate to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio at
quarter-end.
-25-
Deposits
Average
total deposits were $1.946 billion for the first quarter, a decrease of $191.5
million, or 8.9%, from the first quarter of 2008. The decline from
the first quarter of 2008 reflects a lower level of NOW account balances
(primarily public funds and legal settlement accounts), money market account
balances and certificates of deposit balances.
Public
funds deposits began to decline in the second half of 2008 leveling-off late in
the fourth quarter. We believe the decline in the public funds is
partially attributable to certain public entity clients seeking higher
yield. Compared to the first quarter of 2008, a majority of the
decrease in deposits has been realized in the money market and certificates of
deposit categories. The decrease in the money market accounts is due
to lower balances maintained by both businesses and individuals, which we
believe is attributable to lower rates and distressed economic
conditions. We believe the decline in the certificate of deposit
category reflects a combination of proceeds migrating to other deposit
categories, as well as transferring to higher rate paying
competitors. Despite the disruption in the market, we continue to
pursue prudent pricing discipline and have chosen not to compete with higher
rate paying competitors for these deposits.
Compared
to the linked quarter, average deposits have increase $11.5 million, or 0.6%.
The linked quarter increase in deposits reflects higher public funds accounts,
primarily in negotiated accounts and certificates of deposit, which have been
partially offset by declining money market balances.
MARKET
RISK AND INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY
Overview
Overview. Market
risk management arises from changes in interest rates, exchange rates, commodity
prices, and equity prices. We have risk management policies to
monitor and limit exposure to market risk and do not participate in activities
that give rise to significant market risk involving exchange rates, commodity
prices, or equity prices. In asset and liability management
activities, policies are in place that are designed to minimize structural
interest rate risk.
Interest Rate
Risk Management. Our net income is largely dependent on net
interest income. Net interest income is susceptible to interest rate
risk to the degree that interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice on a
different basis than interest-earning assets. When interest-bearing
liabilities mature or reprice more quickly than interest-earning assets in a
given period, a significant increase in market rates of interest could adversely
affect net interest income. Similarly, when interest-earning assets
mature or reprice more quickly than interest-bearing liabilities, falling
interest rates could result in a decrease in net interest income. Net
interest income is also affected by changes in the portion of interest-earning
assets that are funded by interest-bearing liabilities rather than by other
sources of funds, such as noninterest-bearing deposits and shareowners’
equity.
We have
established a comprehensive interest rate risk management policy, which is
administered by management’s Asset/Liability Management Committee
(ALCO). The policy establishes limits of risk, which are quantitative
measures of the percentage change in net interest income (a measure of net
interest income at risk) and the fair value of equity capital (a measure of
economic value of equity (“EVE”) at risk) resulting from a hypothetical change
in interest rates for maturities from one day to 30 years. We measure
the potential adverse impacts that changing interest rates may have on our
short-term earnings, long-term value, and liquidity by employing simulation
analysis through the use of computer modeling. The simulation model
captures optionality factors such as call features and interest rate caps and
floors imbedded in investment and loan portfolio contracts. As with
any method of gauging interest rate risk, there are certain shortcomings
inherent in the interest rate modeling methodology used by us. When
interest rates change, actual movements in different categories of
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, loan prepayments, and
withdrawals of time and other deposits, may deviate significantly from
assumptions used in the model. Finally, the methodology does not
measure or reflect the impact that higher rates may have on adjustable-rate loan
clients’ ability to service their debts, or the impact of rate changes on demand
for loan, and deposit products.
We
prepare a current base case and four alternative simulations, at least once a
quarter, and report the analysis to the Board of Directors. In
addition, more frequent forecasts may be produced when interest rates are
particularly uncertain or when other business conditions so
dictate.
Our
interest rate risk management goal is to avoid unacceptable variations in net
interest income and capital levels due to fluctuations in market
rates. Management attempts to achieve this goal by balancing,
within policy limits, the volume of floating-rate liabilities with a similar
volume of floating-rate assets, by keeping the average maturity of fixed-rate
asset and liability contracts reasonably matched, by maintaining a pool of
administered core deposits, and by adjusting pricing rates to market conditions
on a continuing basis.
The
balance sheet is subject to testing for interest rate shock possibilities to
indicate the inherent interest rate risk. Average interest rates are
shocked by plus or minus 100, 200, and 300 basis points (“bp”), although we may
elect not to use particular scenarios that we determined are impractical in a
current rate environment. It is management’s goal to structure the
balance sheet so that net interest earnings at risk over a 12-month period and
the economic value of equity at risk do not exceed policy guidelines at the
various interest rate shock levels.
We
augment our quarterly interest rate shock analysis with alternative external
interest rate scenarios on a monthly basis. These alternative
interest rate scenarios may include non-parallel rate ramps.
Analysis. Measures
of net interest income at risk produced by simulation analysis are indicators of
an institution’s short-term performance in alternative rate
environments. These measures are typically based upon a relatively
brief period, usually one year. They do not necessarily indicate the
long-term prospects or economic value of the institution.

LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity
General. Liquidity
is a measurement of our ability to meet our cash needs. Our objective
in managing our liquidity is to maintain our ability to meet loan commitments,
purchase securities or repay deposits and other liabilities in accordance with
their terms, without an adverse impact on our current or future
earnings. Our liquidity strategy is guided by policies, which are
formulated and monitored by our Asset Liability Committee (ALCO) and senior
management, and which take into account the marketability of assets, the sources
and stability of funding and the level of unfunded commitments. We
regularly evaluate all of our various funding sources with an emphasis on
accessibility, stability, reliability and cost-effectiveness. Our
principal source of funding has been our client deposits, supplemented by our
short-term and long-term borrowings, primarily from securities sold under
repurchase agreements and federal funds purchased and FHLB
borrowings. We believe that the cash generated from operations, our
borrowing capacity and our access to capital resources are sufficient to meet
our future liquidity needs.
Overall,
we have the ability to generate $718 million in additional liquidity through all
of our available resources. In addition to primary borrowing outlets
mentioned above, we also have the ability to generate liquidity by borrowing
from the Federal Reserve Discount Window and through brokered
deposits. The Bank has the ability to declare and pay up to $50
million in dividends to the parent for the remainder of 2009, more than meeting
our ongoing financial obligations. Management recognizes the
importance of maintaining liquidity and has developed a Contingent Liquidity
Plan which addresses various liquidity stress levels and our response and action
based on the level of severity. We periodically test our credit
facilities for access to the funds, but also understand that as the severity of
the liquidity level increases that certain credit facilities may no longer be
available. The liquidity currently available to us is considered
sufficient to meet the ongoing needs.
We view
our investment portfolio as a liquidity source and have the option to pledge the
portfolio as collateral for borrowings or deposits, and/or sell selected
securities. The portfolio consists of debt issued by the U.S.
Treasury, U.S. governmental agencies, and municipal governments. The
weighted average life of the portfolio is two years and as of year-end had a net
unrealized pre-tax gain of $2.6 million.
We
maintained an average net overnight funds (deposits with banks plus Fed funds
sold less Fed funds purchased) purchased position of $33.9
million during the first quarter of 2009 compared to an average net overnight
funds purchased
position of $18.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2008 and an average overnight
funds sold position of
$186.8 million in the first quarter of 2008. The unfavorable variance
in the funds position primarily reflects a decline in deposit balances, coupled
with growth in the loan portfolio.
Capital
expenditures are expected to approximate $20.0 million over the next nine
months, which consist primarily of new banking office construction, office
equipment and furniture, and technology purchases. Management
believes that these capital expenditures will be funded with existing resources
without impairing our ability to meet our on-going obligations.
Borrowings. At
March 31, 2009, advances from the FHLB consisted of $53.3 million in outstanding
debt and 45 notes. For the first three months of the year, the Bank made
FHLB advance payments totaling approximately $15.8 million and obtained three
new FHLB advances totaling $17.7 million. The FHLB notes are
collateralized by a blanket floating lien on all of our 1-4 family residential
mortgage loans, commercial real estate mortgage loans, and home equity mortgage
loans.
We have
issued two junior subordinated, deferrable interest notes to two wholly-owned
Delaware statutory trusts. The first note for $30.9 million was
issued to CCBG Capital Trust I in November 2004. The second note for
$32.0 million was issued to CCBG Capital Trust II in May 2005. The
interest payments for the CCBG Capital Trust I borrowing are due quarterly at a
fixed rate of 5.71% for five years, then adjustable annually to LIBOR plus a
margin of 1.90%. This note matures on December 31,
2034. The proceeds of this borrowing were used to partially fund the
acquisition of Farmers and Merchants Bank of Dublin. The interest
payments for the CCBG Capital Trust II borrowing are due quarterly at a fixed
rate of 6.07% for five years, then adjustable quarterly to LIBOR plus a margin
of 1.80%. This note matures on June 15, 2035. The proceeds
of this borrowing were used to partially fund the First Alachua Banking
Corporation acquisition.
Capital
Equity
capital was $275.5 million as of March 31, 2009, compared to $278.8 million as
of December 31, 2008. Management continues to monitor our capital
position in relation to our level of assets with the objective of maintaining a
strong capital position. The leverage ratio was 11.25% at March 31,
2009 compared to 11.51% at December 31, 2008. Further, the
risk-adjusted capital ratio of 14.40% at March 31, 2009 exceeds the 8.0% minimum
requirement and the 10% threshold to be designated as “well-capitalized” under
the risk-based regulatory guidelines. As allowed by the Federal
Reserve Board capital guidelines, the trust preferred securities issued by CCBG
Capital Trust I and CCBG Capital Trust II are included as Tier 1 capital in our
capital calculations.
Adequate
capital and financial strength is paramount to the stability of CCBG and the
Bank. Cash dividends declared and paid should not place unnecessary
strain on our capital levels. Although a consistent dividend payment
is believed to be favorably viewed by the financial markets and shareowners, the
Board of Directors will declare dividends only if we are considered to have
adequate capital. Future capital requirements and corporate plans are
considered when the Board considers a dividend payment. Dividends
declared and paid during the first quarter of 2009 totaled $.190 per share
compared to $.185 per share for the first quarter of 2008, an increase of
2.7%. The dividend payout ratios for the first quarter ended 2009 and
2008 were 468.5% and 43.8%, respectively.
State and
federal regulations place certain restrictions on the payment of dividends by
both CCBG and the Bank. At March 31, 2009, these regulations and
covenants did not impair CCBG’s ability to declare and pay dividends or to meet
other existing obligations in the normal course of business. During
2009, the Bank may declare and pay dividends to the parent company in an amount
which approximates the Bank’s current year earnings and, in addition, the Bank
has received authorization from the Office of Financial Regulation to declare
and pay dividends totaling up to $60 million on or before December 31,
2009.
During
the first three months of 2009, shareowners’ equity decreased $3.3 million, or
4.7%, on an annualized basis. During this same period, shareowners’
equity was positively impacted by net income of $.7 million, the issuance of
common stock of $.6 million, and an increase in the unrealized gain on
investment securities of $.3 million. Equity was reduced by dividends
paid during the first three months by $3.3 million, or $.190 per share, and the
repurchase/retirement of common stock of $1.6 million. At March 31,
2009, our common stock had a book value of $16.18 per diluted share compared to
$16.27 at December 31, 2008.
Our Board
of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to 2,671,875 shares of our
outstanding common stock. The purchases are made in the open market
or in privately negotiated transactions. To date, we have repurchased
a total of 2,520,130 shares at an average purchase price of $25.19 per
share. We repurchased 145,888 shares of our common stock during the
first quarter of 2009 at a weighted average purchase price of
$10.65.
OFF-BALANCE
SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We do not
currently engage in the use of derivative instruments to hedge interest rate
risks. However, we are a party to financial instruments with
off-balance sheet risks in the normal course of business to meet the financing
needs of our clients.
At March
31, 2009, we had $422.8 million in commitments to extend credit and $19.6
million in standby letters of credit. Commitments to extend credit
are agreements to lend to a client so long as there is no violation of any
condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have
fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a
fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without
being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent
future cash requirements. Standby letters of credit are conditional
commitments issued by us to guarantee the performance of a client to a third
party. We use the same credit policies in establishing commitments
and issuing letters of credit as we do for on-balance sheet
instruments.
If
commitments arising from these financial instruments continue to require funding
at historical levels, management does not anticipate that such funding will
adversely impact its ability to meet on-going obligations. In the
event these commitments require funding in excess of historical levels,
management believes current liquidity, available advances from the FHLB and
Federal Reserve Bank, and investment security maturities provide a sufficient
source of funds to meet these commitments.

ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
Critical
Accounting Policies
The
consolidated financial statements and accompanying Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America, which require us to make
various estimates and assumptions (see Note 1 in the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements). We believe that, of our significant accounting
policies, the following may involve a higher degree of judgment and
complexity.
Allowance for Loan
Losses. The allowance for loan losses is established through a
charge to the provision for loan losses. Provisions are made to
reserve for estimated losses in loan balances. The allowance for loan
losses is a significant estimate and is evaluated quarterly by us for
adequacy. The use of different estimates or assumptions could produce
a different required allowance, and thereby a larger or smaller provision
recognized as expense in any given reporting period. A further
discussion of the allowance for loan losses can be found in the section entitled
"Allowance for Loan Losses" and Note 1 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements in our 2008 Form 10-K.
Intangible
Assets. Intangible assets consist primarily of goodwill, core
deposit assets, and other identifiable intangibles that were recognized in
connection with various acquisitions. Goodwill represents the excess
of the cost of acquired businesses over the fair market value of their
identifiable net assets. We perform an impairment review on an annual
basis during the fourth quarter or more frequently if events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be
recoverable. Impairment testing requires management to make
significant judgments and estimates relating to the fair value of its reporting
unit. Significant changes to our estimates, when and if they occur,
could result in a non-cash impairment charge and thus have a material impact on
our operating results for any particular reporting period. A goodwill
impairment charge would not adversely affect the calculation of our risk based
and tangible capital ratios. Our annual review for impairment
determined that no impairment existed at December 31, 2008. Because
the book value of our equity was below our market capitalization as of March 31,
2009, we considered the guidelines set forth in SFAS No. 142 to discern whether
further testing for potential impairment was needed. Based on this
assessment, we concluded that no further testing for impairment was needed as of
March 31, 2009.
Core
deposit assets represent the premium we paid for core deposits. Core
deposit intangibles are amortized on the straight-line method over various
periods ranging from 5-10 years. Generally, core deposits refer to
nonpublic, non-maturing deposits including noninterest-bearing deposits, NOW,
money market and savings. We make certain estimates relating to the
useful life of these assets, and rate of run-off based on the nature of the
specific assets and the client bases acquired. If there is a reason
to believe there has been a permanent loss in value, management will assess
these assets for impairment. Any changes in the original estimates
may materially affect our operating results.
Pension Assumptions. We have a defined
benefit pension plan for the benefit of substantially all of our
associates. Our funding policy with respect to the pension plan is to
contribute amounts to the plan sufficient to meet minimum funding requirements
as set by law. Pension expense, reflected in the Consolidated
Statements of Income in noninterest expense as "Salaries and Associate
Benefits," is determined by an external actuarial valuation based on assumptions
that are evaluated annually as of December 31, the measurement date for the
pension obligation. The Consolidated Statements of Financial
Condition reflect an accrued pension benefit cost due to funding levels and
unrecognized actuarial amounts. The most significant assumptions used
in calculating the pension obligation are the weighted-average discount rate
used to determine the present value of the pension obligation, the
weighted-average expected long-term rate of return on plan assets, and the
assumed rate of annual compensation increases. These assumptions are
re-evaluated annually with the external actuaries, taking into consideration
both current market conditions and anticipated long-term market
conditions.
The
weighted-average discount rate is determined by matching the anticipated
Retirement Plan cash flows to a long-term corporate Aa-rated bond index and
solving for the underlying rate of return, which investing in such securities
would generate. This methodology is applied consistently from
year-to-year. We anticipate using a 6.00% discount rate in
2009.
The
weighted-average expected long-term rate of return on plan assets is determined
based on the current and anticipated future mix of assets in the
plan. The assets currently consist of equity securities, U.S.
Government and Government Agency debt securities, and other securities
(typically temporary liquid funds awaiting investment). We anticipate
using a rate of return on plan assets of 8.0% for 2009.
The
assumed rate of annual compensation increases is based on expected trends in
salaries and the employee base. We used a rate of 5.50% in 2008 and
do not expect this assumption to change materially in 2009.
Information
on components of our net periodic benefit cost is provided in Note 8 of the
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included herein and Note 12 of the
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2008 Form
10-K.
