FirstCity Financial Corporation Reports Second Quarter 2009 Results and Activities
Waco, Texas August 12, 2009 .
Highlights:
· FirstCity reported second quarter 2009 earnings of $7.7 million or $0.76 per diluted share.
· FirstCity invested $70.9 million in domestic portfolio acquisitions and other investments during the quarter.
· FirstCity reported continued earning asset growth of $37.0 million for the second quarter of 2009 as total earning assets grew to $383.2 million at June 30, 2009.
· FirstCity has invested $21.3 million in domestic portfolio acquisitions and other investments subsequent to the second quarter of 2009.
Second Quarter 2009 and Business Outlook
FirstCity generated net earnings of $7.7 million for the second quarter of 2009, which is a $14.2 million increase over the $6.5 million net loss reported for the second quarter of 2008. The diluted net income per common share was $0.76 in the second quarter of 2009, compared to a diluted net loss per common share of $0.63 for the same period last year. The earnings improvement was a result of (1) increased revenues directly associated with higher domestic collections in the second quarter of 2009 compared to the same period last year; (2) a $6.5 million decline in FirstCitys combined share of impairment in the second quarter of 2009 compared to 2008; and (3) a $2.0 million increase in the combined impact of foreign currency exchange gains from FirstCitys foreign investments in the second quarter of 2009 compared to the same period last year.
Jim Sartain, Chief Executive Officer, said, We are very pleased with our strong earnings performance in the second quarter. The current economic environment has presented numerous investment opportunities for each of our business segments. These investments in turn have provided positive cash flows, allowing us to leverage our long-time expertise and continue to take advantage of the opportunities in the current market.
FirstCitys investments of $70.9 million during the second quarter included $48.6 million of domestic portfolio assets with a face value of $117.8 million acquired primarily from the FDIC; $7.9 million of SBA loan advances and originations; and $14.4 million of debt and equity investments. In addition, subsequent to June 30, 2009, the Company was involved in acquiring $36.4 million of Portfolio Assets with a face value of approximately $52.1 million of which FirstCitys investment share was $18.3 million. FirstCity also funded $3.0 million of additional loan investments after quarter-end.
(more)
The Company continues to experience positive growth with the unrealized future gross profit associated with its core portfolio asset business. At the end of June 2009, the unrealized future gross profit on these assets increased to $155.5 million, which is up from $122.3 million at the end of December 2008. Unrealized future gross profit is a non-GAAP measure. Refer to the Schedule of Estimated Unrealized Gross Profit from Portfolio Assets on page 10 of this release for a reconciliation of this measure with the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
FirstCity has $350.0 million of credit facility commitments available to finance its portfolio and asset purchases, capital investments in new ventures, and to provide for working capital to support our growth. At June 30, 2009, FirstCitys maximum borrowing capacity under these credit commitments approximated $74.4 million (subject to borrowing base requirements of the respective credit facilities). These credit facilities are available to FirstCity through their maturity in November 2010. FirstCity is in compliance with all covenants and requirements set forth in the underlying credit agreements for these credit facilities.
Items impacting comparability of results for the second quarter of 2009 are as follows:
Total assets at the end of second quarter 2009 expanded to $421.3 million compared to $378.2 million at the end of first quarter 2009 as a result of FirstCitys loan portfolio acquisitions and other investments during the quarter. The Companys earning assets experienced a corresponding increase to $383.2 million at the end of June 2009 compared to $346.2 million at the end of March 2009.
Revenues in the second quarter of 2009 increased to $20.7 million compared to $11.5 million in the second quarter last year. The Companys earnings in the second quarter of 2009 included $14.1 million of income and gains from Portfolio Assets, $1.6 million of interest income from loans receivable, and $2.4 million of fee income attributable to our loan servicing platform. Increased revenue in the second quarter of 2009 is a result of increased collections on consolidated portfolios to $51.7 million in the second quarter of 2009 compared to $11.4 million in the same period a year ago, and FirstCitys increased holdings in earning assets ($383.2 million at the end of June 2009 compared to $296.3 million at the end of June 2008).
The Company recorded net provisions for loss of $2.0 million during the second quarter of 2009 compared to $8.5 million in the second quarter of 2008. The provisions in second quarter of 2009 were recorded to reflect declines in values of loan collateral and real estate assets. The global distribution of the $2.0 million of net impairment provisions in the second quarter of 2009 includes $2.9 million for domestic assets, $0.2 million related to Latin American assets, and $1.1 million of net recoveries related to European assets. The net provisions were allocated between consolidated portfolios ($0.7 million) and non-consolidated subsidiaries ($1.3 million) in the second quarter 2009.
Foreign currency exchange gains of $2.2 million were recorded during the second quarter of 2009 compared to $0.2 million of foreign currency exchange gains for the same period in 2008. In the second quarter of 2009, $1.8 million of the Companys foreign currency exchange gains were attributable to the strengthening of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar.
In the second quarter of 2009, the Company also recorded a $1.5 million gain attributable to a transaction in which the Company acquired a controlling financial interest in certain French Acquisition Partnerships. The Company owned a noncontrolling equity interest in these entities prior to the transaction. Under the new business acquisition accounting standards (SFAS 141R), the Companys previously-held noncontrolling interests in the entities were remeasured to fair value on the acquisition date (May 2009) which resulted in the Companys recognition of the gain.
2
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries was $1.2 million in the second quarter of 2009 compared to $3.0 million of net earnings for the same period a year ago. The decline was caused primarily by a decrease in Acquisition Partnership collections to $22.0 million in the second quarter of 2009 from $55.5 million for the same period last year which corresponds to a decrease in the Acquisition Partnerships portfolio asset holdings (i.e. earning assets) to $276.5 million at June 2009 from $412.8 million at June 2008. FirstCitys average investment in equity-method investments (including Acquisition Partnerships) decreased to $71.2 million for the second quarter of 2009 compared to $89.1 million for the second quarter of 2008. Since a majority of FirstCitys portfolio acquisitions over the past twelve months were acquired through consolidated Portfolios instead of equity investments in Acquisition Partnerships, the Company expects income from consolidated investments to off-set the decline in equity earnings.
Selected financial data for the second quarter of 2009:
The Companys total operating expenses (excluding provision, interest and income tax expenses) experienced a modest decline to $9.6 million for the second quarter of 2009 from $10.0 million in the second quarter of 2008 attributed primarily to $0.9 million of consolidated foreign exchange gains recorded in the second quarter 2009 compared to $0.4 of foreign exchange losses in the same period a year ago. This favorable impact was off-set partially by a $0.7 million increase in salaries for the second quarter 2009 compared to the same quarter last year.
Total interest expense decreased to $3.6 million in the second quarter of 2009 from $3.8 million for the same period in 2008 (even though FirstCitys second quarter average debt holdings increased to $302.5 million in 2009 from $197.6 million in 2008). The interest expense decrease is attributable to the Companys lower average cost of funds of 4.8% during the second quarter of 2009 compared to 7.6% from the same period in 2008 due to a decline in market interest rates over the past twelve months.

This schedule provides selected information related to the Companys ownership interests in consolidated and non-consolidated Portfolio Assets and is provided for informational purposes to provide an indication of the future potential unrealized gross profit attributable to those portfolios. In preparing this schedule, management was required to make certain estimates and assumptions surrounding the underlying assets in the Portfolios that impact the reported amounts. Such estimates and assumptions could change in the future, as more information becomes known, which could impact the reported amounts. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates.
(1) Basis in Portfolio Assets represents FirstCitys share of the unamortized purchase price of the Portfolios held by the various acquisition entities, some of which are consolidated by FirstCity and others held through equity investments in unconsolidated partnerships.
(2) Estimated Remaining Collections represents FirstCitys share of future projected net cash collections expected from the Portfolios Assets.
(3) Unrealized Gross Profit represents the excess difference between the Estimated Remaining Collections and the Basis in Portfolio Assets.
(4) FirstCity considers Basis in Portfolio Assets a useful measurement of the Companys underlying holdings and interests in Portfolio Assets. As FirstCitys share of Basis in Portfolio Assets is considered a non-GAAP measure, the following reconciliation is provided:
