Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Overview
CPB Inc. (the "Company") posted first quarter 2001 net income of $5.328 million, increasing by 16.2% over the $4.586 million earned in the first quarter of 2000. The increase in net income was mainly attributed to an increase in net interest income. As of March 31, 2001, total assets of $1.77 billion decreased by $45 million or 2.5% from year-end 2000. Net loans of $1.22 billion decreased by $54 million or 4.2% due to sale of $54 million in residential mortgage loans during the quarter. Total deposits of $1.38 billion increased by $15 million or 1.1% in the first quarter.
The following table presents annualized returns on average assets and average stockholders' equity and basic and diluted earnings per share for the periods indicated.
Hawaii's economy improved during the last year. Measures reflecting business activity in the state of Hawaii showed gains in January of 2001, the most recent month of available data. The statewide unemployment rate in March 2001 fell to 4.3%, from 4.5% a year ago. The unemployment rate on the island of Oahu of 3.5% was lower than the national average of 4.3%.
Hotel occupancy rates in March 2001 of 80.5% decreased by 2.9% from March of 2000, reflecting economic conditions on the U. S. mainland. However, occupancy rates a year ago were at an 11-year high for Hawaii. Visitor arrivals decreased by 1.9% during the same period. The slowing national economy coupled with the weakening yen exchange rate are reasons associated with the slight decline. Development of the economic situations in Asia and the U. S. mainland will influence the results in the local economy for the remainder of the year.
Dollar volume of residential real estate sales in the state increased by 12.6% in the first quarter of 2001 over the same period last year. The change in monthly prices from last year was mixed, however the median price paid for single family homes declined 0.9% and median condominium price rose 7.5%.
Hawaii's economic environment has had, and will likely continue to have, a direct effect on our Company's performance. While the Hawaii economy is expected to grow modestly in the near future, actual results in tourism, employment and the real estate market could affect loan demand, deposit growth, provision for loan losses, noninterest income and noninterest expense. Accordingly, the results of operations of the Company for the remainder of 2001 may be directly impacted by the ability of the Hawaii economy to sustain the positive trend experienced during the last year.
Certain matters discussed in this report may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements relate to, among other things, net interest income, net interest margin, the levels of nonperforming loans, loan losses and the allowance for loan losses, noninterest income and noninterest expense. Important factors that could cause the results to differ from those discussed in this report include, but are not limited to, changes in market interest rates, general business conditions in the state of Hawaii, the real estate market in Hawaii, competitive conditions among financial institutions, regulatory changes in the financial services industry, and other risks detailed in the Company's reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000.
Results of Operations
Net Interest Income A comparison of net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 is set forth below on a taxable equivalent basis using an assumed income tax rate of 35%.
Net interest income, when expressed as a percentage of average interest earning assets, is referred to as "net interest margin."
Interest income increased by $5.3 million or 18.2% in the first quarter of 2001 compared to the same period in 2000, due to a combination of increases in average volume and yield on interest-earning assets. Average interest earning assets of $1,672 million for the first quarter of 2001 increased by $162 million or 10.7%, due primarily to increases in loans. Yield on interest earning assets of 8.28% for the first quarter of 2001 increased from 7.75% for the same period in 2000 due primarily to the increase in market interest rates during 1999 and 2000.
Interest and fees on loans increased by $4.2 million or 17.7% in the first quarter of 2001 compared to the previous year's first quarter due to increases in average loan balances and average yields. Interest and dividends on investment securities increased by $1.0 million or 18.7% mainly due to average balances increasing by $58 million or 17.8%.
Interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 increased by $3.4 million or 28.1% compared to the same period in 2000 due to higher average interest-bearing liabilities and the cumulative impact of higher level of market interest rates experienced up to 2001. Average interest-bearing liabilities totaled $1,403 million in the first quarter of 2001, increasing by $149 million or 11.8%, due to increases in large certificates of deposit and in long-term debt. The average rate on interest-bearing liabilities for the first quarter of 2001 increased to 4.37% from 3.82% in the 2000 comparable quarter.
The resultant net interest income for the first quarter of 2001 increased by $2.0 million or 11.3% over the same period in 2000. Net interest margin increased to 4.61%. Strong competition for both loans and core deposits is expected to continue and may create additional pressure on net interest margin in the future.
Provision for Loan Losses Provision for loan losses is determined by Management's ongoing evaluation of the loan portfolio and assessment of the ability of the allowance for loan losses to cover inherent losses. The Company, considering current information and events regarding a borrower's ability to repay its obligations, treats a loan as impaired when it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. When a loan is considered to be impaired, the amount of impairment is measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or, if the loan is considered to be collateral dependent, based on the fair value of the collateral. Impairment losses are included in the allowance for loan losses through a charge to the provision for loan losses. For smaller-balance homogeneous loans, primarily residential real estate and consumer loans, the allowance for loan losses is based upon Management's evalu ation of the quality, character and risks inherent in the loan portfolio, current and projected economic conditions, and historical loan loss experience. The allowance is increased by provisions charged to operating expense and reduced by loan charge-offs, net of recoveries.
The following table sets forth certain information with respect to the Company's allowance for loan losses as of the dates and for the periods indicated.
The provision for loan losses of $750,000 for the first quarter of 2001 decreased by 25.0% from $1.0 million accrued in the same period in 2000. For the first quarter, net loan charge-offs of $108,000 in 2001 and recoveries of $118,000 in 2000, when expressed as an annualized percentage of average total loans, were 0.03% and 0.04%, respectively. Loan charge-offs during the first quarter of 2001 were comprised primarily of several residential real estate loans. Loan recoveries in 2001 were primarily from two commercial loans charged off in prior years.
The allowance for loan losses expressed as a percentage of total loans was 1.88% at March 31, 2001, increasing from 1.75% at December 31, 2000. The increase in this ratio was primarily due to the sale of $54 million in residential mortgage loans. Considering the relatively low level of net loan charge-offs and decrease in total nonaccrual and delinquent loans during the year, Management believes that the allowance for loan losses was adequate to cover the credit risks inherent in the loan portfolio. However, any deterioration in economic conditions in the state of Hawaii could adversely affect borrowers' ability to repay, collateral values and, consequently, the level of nonperforming loans and provision for loan losses.
Nonperforming Assets The following table sets forth nonperforming assets and accruing loans delinquent for 90 days or more at the dates indicated.
Nonperforming assets, loans delinquent for 90 days or more and restructured loans still accruing interest totaled $8.1 million at March 31, 2001, a decrease of $4.2 million or 34.0% from year-end 2000. Nonaccrual loans, loans delinquent for 90 days or more and restructured loans still accruing interest were comprised primarily of loans secured by commercial or residential real property all of which are located in the state of Hawaii. Nonaccrual loans at March 31, 2001 of $6.4 million decreased by 30.4% from year-end 2000 and included a $3.0 million loan secured by commercial real estate and a $0.9 million loan secured by multi-family residential property, both located on the island of Oahu. Loans delinquent for 90 days or more and still accruing interest totaled $605,000 at March 31, 2001, a 60.4% decrease from year-end 2000. Impaired loans, representing one loan at March 31, 2001, totaled $455,000 and at year-end 2000 totaled $466,000.
Management continues to closely monitor loan delinquencies and work with borrowers to resolve loan problems; however, any worsening of current economic conditions in the state of Hawaii may result in future increases in nonperforming assets, delinquencies, net loan charge-offs, provision for loan losses and noninterest expense.
Other Operating Income Total other operating income of $3.6 million for the first quarter of 2001 decreased by $0.8 million compared to last year's first quarter. A gain of $601,000 was recognized in the first quarter of 2001 from the sale of $54 million in residential mortgage loans. Sale of the Bank's merchant servicing portfolio in the first quarter of 2000 resulted in a $1.85 million gain. Fees related to merchant services were consequently reduced by $390,000 in 2001 compared to the first quarter of 2000. Investment securities gains were $180,000 in 2001 compared to losses of $360,000 in the first quarter of 2000. Excluding the impact of the residential mortgage loans and merchant portfolio sales and securities transactions, total other operating income increased by $199,000 or 7.7% in the first quarter of 2001 compared to the same period in 2000.
Other Operating Expense Total other operating expense of $13.6 million for the first quarter of 2001 increased by $188,000 or 1.4% over the same period in 2000. The increase was primarily attributed to an increase in salaries and benefits of $353,000 or 5.4% over last year's first quarter. Other expense of $4.4 million in the first quarter of 2001 decreased by $192,000 or 4.2% from the previous year's first quarter. Non-recurring items explained the unusually high level in this expense category during both periods. In the first quarter of 2001, an expense of $642,000 was recorded due to an early payoff of $20 million in borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle. In the first quarter of 2000, expenses of $358,000 related to merchant servicing fees and $480,000 related to early termination of a servicing agreement for the sold merchant services portfolio were recognized.
Income Taxes The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2001 and 2000 was 35.66% and 35.29%, respectively.
Financial Condition
Total assets at March 31, 2001 of $1.77 billion decreased by $45 million or 2.5% from year-end 2000 due primarily to the sale of $54 million in residential mortgages. Loans were sold to adjust the Company's interest rate profile and to enhance liquidity. The sale resulted in a net benefit of $601,000, of which $672,000 is included in net interest income. Proceeds from the sale were used to reduce short-term borrowings by $40 million and long-term debt by $20 million. Net loans of $1.22 billion decreased by $54 million or 4.2%, and investment securities of $379 million decreased by $5 million or 1.4%. Total deposits at March 31, 2001 of $1.38 billion increased by $15 million or 1.1%. Noninterest-bearing deposits of $212 million increased by $12 million or 6.0%, accounting for most of the increase in deposits. Interest-bearing deposits of $1.17 billion increased by $3 million or 0.2% compared to year-end 2000. Core deposits (noninterest-bearing demand, interest-bearing demand and savings deposits, and time deposits under $100,000) at March 31, 2001 of $976 million decreased by $31 million or 3.3% during the first three months of 2001, while time deposits of $100,000 and over of $402 million decreased by $16 million or 3.8%. Competition for deposits remains strong and will continue to challenge the Bank's ability to gather low-cost retail funds.
Capital Resources
Stockholders' equity of $142 million at March 31, 2001 decreased by $1 million or 0.7% from December 31, 2000. When expressed as a percentage of total assets, stockholders' equity increased to 8.03% at March 31, 2001, from 7.89% at year-end 2000. Book value per share at March 31, 2001 was $17.31, compared to $16.93 at year-end 2000.
The decrease in stockholder's equity reflected the repurchase of 250,000 shares of the Company's common stock for $6.8 million during the first quarter of 2001. The Company is currently in the fourth segment of its repurchase program, which began in 1998.
On March 19, 2001, the board of directors declared a first quarter cash dividend of $0.16 per share, a 6.7% increase over the dividend declared in the first quarter of 2000. Dividends declared in the first quarter of 2001 totaled $1,316,000 compared with $1,383,000 in the first quarter of 2000, a 4.8% decrease. This decrease was due to the decrease in outstanding shares at the end of March 2001 compared to a year ago resulting from the repurchase of the Company's common stock.
The Company's objective with respect to capital resources is to maintain a level of capital that will support sustained asset growth and anticipated risks. Furthermore, the Company seeks to ensure that regulatory guidelines and industry standards for well-capitalized institutions are met.
Regulations on capital adequacy guidelines adopted by the Federal Reserve Board (the "FRB") and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC") are as follows. An institution is required to maintain a minimum ratio of qualifying total capital to risk-adjusted assets of 8% and a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-adjusted assets of 4%. In addition to the risk-based guidelines, federal banking regulators require banking organizations to maintain a minimum amount of Tier 1 capital to total assets, referred to as the leverage ratio. For a banking organization rated in the highest of the five categories used by regulators to rate banking organizations, the minimum leverage ratio of Tier 1 capital to total assets must be 3%. In addition to these uniform risk-based capital guidelines and leverage ratios that apply across the industry, the regulators have the discretion to set individual minimum capital requirements for specific institutions at rates significantly above the minimum guidelines and ratios.
The following table sets forth the Company's capital ratios and capital adequacy requirements applicable to the Company as of the dates indicated.
In addition, FDIC-insured institutions such as the Bank must maintain leverage, Tier 1 and total risk-based capital ratios of at least 5%, 6% and 10%, respectively, to be considered "well capitalized" under the prompt corrective action provisions of the FDIC Improvement Act of 1991.
The following table sets forth the Bank's capital ratios and capital requirements for the Bank to be considered "well capitalized" as of the dates indicated.

1. Basis of Presentation
The financial information included herein is unaudited, except for the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2000. However, such information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim periods.
The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
2. Comprehensive Income
Components of other comprehensive income (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 were comprised solely of unrealized holding gains (losses) on available-for-sale investment securities. Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of taxes, is presented below as of the dates indicated:
3. Segment Information
The Company has three reportable segments: retail branches, commercial finance and treasury. The segments reported are consistent with internal functional reporting lines. They are managed separately because each unit has different target markets, technological requirements, marketing strategies and specialized skills. The retail branch segment includes all retail branch offices. Products and services offered include a full range of deposit and loan products, safe deposit boxes and various other bank services. The commercial finance segment focuses on lending to corporate customers, residential mortgage lending, construction and real estate development lending and international banking services. The treasury segment is responsible for managing the Company's investment securities portfolio and wholesale funding activities. Other activities include trust, mortgage servicing, indirect lending activities.
The accounting policies of the segments are consistent with the Company's accounting policies that are described in note 1 to the consolidated financial statements in the 2000 Annual Report to Shareholders. The majority of the Company's net income is derived from net interest income. Accordingly, Management focuses primarily on net interest income (expense), rather than gross interest income and expense amounts, in evaluating segment profitability. Intersegment net interest income (expense) is allocated to each segment based on the amount of net investable funds provided (used) by that segment at a rate equal to the Bank's average rate on interest-sensitive assets and liabilities. All administrative and overhead expenses are allocated to the segments at cost. Cash, investment securities, loans and their related balances are allocated to the segment responsible for acquisition and maintenance of those assets. Segment assets also include all premises and equipment used directly in segment operations.
Segment profits and assets are provided in the following table for the periods indicated.
4. Accounting Pronouncements
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. In June 1999, the FASB issued SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133, an Amendment of SFAS Statement No. 133," which deferred the effective date of SFAS No. 133. In June 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities," an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133. SFAS No. 133, as amended, is now effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. Earlier application is permitted only as of the beginning of a fiscal quarter. The application of SFAS No. 133, as amended, effective from January 1, 2001, did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In September 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. SFAS No. 140 supersedes and replaces SFAS No. 125 of the same name and provides accounting and reporting guidance for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities. The provisions of SFAS No. 140 are to be applied prospectively to transactions occurring after March 31, 2001. The application of SFAS No. 140 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
