NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., July 24 CA-Downey-2Q-Earns
NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., July 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Downey Financial Corp. (NYSE: DSL) reported a net loss for second quarter 2008 of $218.9 million or $7.86 per share on a diluted basis, compared with net income of $32.7 million or $1.17 on a diluted basis per share in the year-ago second quarter.
The $309.5 million unfavorable change in pre-tax income/(loss) between second quarters was due primarily to:
-- A $249.4 million increase in the provision for credit losses;
-- A $28.5 million or 25.6% decline in net interest income due to a lower
   level of interest-earning assets and a lower effective interest rate
   spread;
-- A $26.2 million increase in operating expense primarily due to higher
   costs related to the operation of real estate acquired in settlement of
   loans; and
-- A $5.2 million unfavorable change in income from real estate and joint
   ventures held for investment, as an increase in gains from sales was
   more than offset by provisions for loss to reflect declines in the
   value of single family home lots in which the company is a joint
   venture partner.

For the first six months of 2008, the net loss totaled $466.6 million or $16.75 per share on a diluted basis, compared to net income of $75.6 million or $2.71 per share on a diluted basis for the first six months of 2007.
Downey separately announced today that its Board of Directors has appointed Thomas E. Prince, currently Downey's Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, as the Company's interim Chief Executive Officer, replacing Daniel D. Rosenthal, who has retired. The Company also announced that Maurice L. "Mac" McAlister, Chairman of the Board and the Company's founder and largest shareholder, has retired from the Board of Directors. Two independent directors, Michael D. Bozarth and Gary W. Brummett will become Chairman and Vice Chairman of the Board, respectively, succeeding Messrs. McAlister and Rosenthal in those capacities.
NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income totaled $82.9 million in the second quarter of 2008, down $28.5 million or 25.6% from a year ago, reflecting a $2.367 billion or 16.3% decline in average interest-earning assets to $12.168 billion and a decline in the effective interest rate spread. The average effective interest rate spread was 2.73% in the current quarter, down 0.34% from a year ago but up 0.10% from the first quarter of 2008. The decline in the current quarter effective interest spread from a year ago primarily reflected the negative impact of a higher proportion of non-performing assets. Although non- performing assets increased in the current quarter from the first quarter of 2008, the earning asset yield did not decline as rapidly as the cost of funds, resulting in an increase in the effective interest rate spread.
For the first six months of 2008, net interest income totaled $166.7 million, down $69.9 million or 29.6% from the year-ago period.
PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES
During the current quarter, the provision for credit losses totaled $258.9 million, up $249.4 million from a year ago.
At June 30, 2008, the allowance for credit losses was $733.7 million, comprised of $732.3 million for loan losses and $1.4 million for unfunded loan commitments which is reported within accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The allowance for credit losses increased $186.0 million this quarter, of which $29.8 million was related to specific allowances associated with certain troubled debt restructurings pursuant to our borrower retention program which is discussed more fully below in the section entitled "Non-Performing Assets." These specific allowances will be accreted into interest income over the remaining life of the modified loans as long as they remain on accrual status. The balance of the increase in the allowance for credit losses primarily reflects further declines in the value of underlying home collateral as well as further increases in delinquent loans.
Downey's allowance methodology incorporates assumptions related to default probabilities, loss severities and loss horizons based on historical experience, current market conditions, and the unique characteristics of each borrower, loan and underlying collateral. On a comparative basis, these factors individually increase or decrease the amount of the allowance for loan losses from prior periods. Both default probabilities and loss severities increased in the current quarter as a result of the challenging market conditions continuing to affect the residential housing market. In particular, collateral values have been trending downward in the greater Sacramento, Stockton, Modesto and Contra Costa areas of Northern California, the Inland Empire and San Diego County. Also, the horizon over which borrower defaults are projected to occur has shortened. The shorter default horizon reflects our recent experience of losses emerging earlier in the current environment compared with prior periods as the loan portfolio has continued to age, real estate values have continued to decline and borrowers have continued to experience reduced levels of equity in their homes.
Net loan charge-offs totaled $70.2 million in the current quarter, compared with $1.0 million a year ago. Net charge-offs in the current quarter are primarily related to residential one-to-four unit loans, with the annualized net charge-off ratio associated with these loans increasing to 2.60% from 0.03% a year ago.
For the first six months of 2008, the provision for credit losses totaled $495.7 million and net charge-offs were $107.3 million. This compares with a $10.1 million provision for credit losses and net charge-offs of $1.7 million a year ago.
OTHER INCOME
Other income totaled $12.1 million in the current quarter, down $5.5 million or 31.2% from a year ago. Primary contributors to the decline between second quarters were:
-- A $5.2 million unfavorable change in income from real estate and joint
   ventures held for investments. Net gains from sales totaled
   $6.2 million in the current quarter, up $5.8 million from a year ago.
   More than offsetting the increase in gains from sales was an
   $11.1 million increase in provision for losses between second quarters,
   as the current quarter included provisions for loss to reflect declines
   in the value of single family home lots in which the company is a joint
   venture partner.
-- A $4.4 million decline in net gains on sale of loans and mortgage-
   backed securities, reflecting both a decline in loans sold and a lower
   gain per dollar of loan sold. Net gains in the current quarter totaled
   $4.6 million, including a $2.1 million gain due to the impact of
   valuing derivatives associated with the sale of loans. Excluding the
   impact of the SFAS 133 derivative valuation, a gain was realized equal
   to 1.05% on secondary market sales of $235 million, compared with the
   year-ago gain of 1.42% on secondary market sales of $570 million.

These unfavorable items were partially offset by a $4.8 million increase in income from loan servicing fees due primarily to a favorable change in the fair value of mortgage servicing rights.
For the first six months of 2008, other income totaled $21.0 million, down $14.2 million or 40.4% from a year ago.
OPERATING EXPENSE
Operating expense totaled $88.5 million in the current quarter, up $26.2 million or 42.0% from a year ago. The increase primarily reflected an increase of $23.2 million in net operations of real estate acquired in the settlement of loans due to a higher number of foreclosed properties. General and administrative expense increased $3.0 million or 4.8% between second quarters, due primarily to an increase in the other general and administrative expense category, which was up $2.8 million. That increase was primarily attributable to an adjustment in the prior year period related to reserves associated with workers' compensation insurance claims. Also contributing to the increase between second quarters was a $1.2 million increase in regulatory assessments due primarily to a special credit received in the prior period. Partially offsetting these unfavorable items was a $1.1 million decline in advertising expense. Although salaries and related costs were essentially unchanged between second quarters, the current quarter included severance costs of approximately $1.0 million associated with the previously announced departure of Downey's former President.
For the first six months of 2008, operating expense totaled $177.5 million, up $49.5 million or 38.7% from a year ago.
INCOME TAXES
A tax benefit of $33.5 million was recorded in the current quarter, reflecting an effective tax rate of 13.3%, compared with the year-ago effective tax rate of 42.7%. For the first six months of 2008, the effective tax rate was 3.9%, compared with 43.4% a year ago.
The lower effective tax rates for the current year resulted from the establishment of a valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset. The deferred tax asset resulted from a significant increase in the loan loss allowance due, in part, to the factors discussed above in "Provision for Credit Losses." To the extent the loan loss allowance is not allocable to specific loans, it represents future tax benefits which would be realized when actual charge-offs are made against the allowance. To the extent available sources of taxable income, including prior years' tax returns, are deemed per generally accepted accounting principles to be insufficient to absorb tax losses, a valuation allowance is necessary. The valuation allowance was increased by $72 million in the current quarter to $183 million against tax assets of $240 million.
Since generally accepted accounting principles require Downey to spread its expected annual tax benefit across the entire year through an effective tax rate, we expect to continue realizing a tax benefit in future months, but, as explained above, at much smaller levels than in the prior year.
ASSETS, LOAN ORIGINATIONS AND DEPOSITS
At June 30, 2008, assets totaled $12.632 billion, down $2.271 billion or 15.2% from a year ago. During the current quarter, assets declined $499 million due primarily to a decline of $605 million in investment securities. That decline was partially offset by a $72 million increase in real estate acquired in settlement of loans, net, and a $64 million increase in income tax receivable. Although gross loans held for investment increased by $231 million, this growth was substantially offset by a $186 million increase in the allowance for loan losses. Included within loans held for investment at quarter end were $6.242 billion of single family adjustable rate mortgages subject to negative amortization, down $721 million from March 31, 2008. These loans comprised 57% of the single family residential loan portfolio held for investment at quarter end, compared with 76% a year ago. The amount of negative amortization included in loan balances declined $31 million during the current quarter to $344 million or 5.5% of loans subject to negative amortization. During the current quarter, approximately 15% of loan interest income represented negative amortization, down from 20% in the first quarter 2008 and 29% in the year-ago second quarter.
Loan originations (including purchases) totaled $1.027 billion in the current quarter, down $182 million or 15.0% from $1.209 billion a year ago, but up from $676 million in the first quarter of 2008. Loans originated for sale declined $283 million or 57.2% to $212 million, while single family residential loans originated for portfolio increased $52 million or 7.4% to $751 million from a year ago. In addition to single family residential loans, $65 million of other loans were originated in the current quarter, up from $15 million a year ago.
Not included in the above originations are loans for which we modify the terms of a borrower's loan. During the current quarter, we modified $320 million of loans associated with our portfolio retention program, wherein the borrower was current with their loan payments and the new interest rate was no less than that afforded new borrowers, and $79 million of loans at below market interest rates in loan workout situations. Most of the modifications were adjustable rate loans, which permitted negative amortization, that were modified into five-year interest-only adjustable rate loans with interest rates that adjust semi-annually but do not permit negative amortization.
Deposits totaled $9.881 billion at quarter end, down $1.366 billion or 12.1% from a year ago. Although deposits declined from a year ago, the number of checking accounts were up modestly over a year ago. At quarter end, the number of branches totaled 174 (169 in California and five in Arizona). At quarter end, the average deposit size of our 84 traditional branches was $94 million, while the average deposit size of our 90 in-store branches was $22 million. During the current quarter, borrowings increased by $85 million and represented 14% of total assets at quarter end.
NON-PERFORMING ASSETS
Non-performing assets increased during the quarter by $395 million to $1.958 billion and represented 15.50% of total assets, compared with 7.77% at year-end 2007 and 1.53% a year ago.
A borrower retention program was initiated at the beginning of the third quarter of 2007 to provide borrowers who are current with their loan payments a cost effective means to change from an adjustable rate loan that permits negative amortization to a less costly financing alternative. Those loans are considered troubled debt restructurings and have been placed on non-accrual status even though the interest rate following modification was no less than that afforded new borrowers. The reason for this is because the modified interest rate was lower than the interest rate on the original loan and the loan was not re-underwritten to prove that the new interest rate was, in fact, a market interest rate for a borrower with similar credit quality. Interest income is recorded as these borrowers make their loan payments and in the current quarter $11.3 million was recognized, including $1.5 million of amortization of the associated impairment allowance. If these borrowers perform pursuant to the modified terms for six consecutive months, the loans will be placed back on accrual status and, while still reported as troubled debt restructurings, they will no longer be classified as non-performing assets because the borrower will have demonstrated an ability to perform in accordance with the loan modification and the interest rate was no less than those afforded new borrowers at the time of modification.
To the extent borrowers whose loans were modified pursuant to the borrower retention program are current with their loan payments and included in non- performing assets, it is relevant to distinguish those from total non- performing assets because, unlike other loans classified as non-performing assets, these loans are paying interest at interest rates no less than those afforded new borrowers. At June 30, 2008, $548 million or 82% of such borrowers had made all loan payments due. Accordingly, the 15.50% ratio of non-performing assets to total assets includes 4.34% related to performing troubled debt restructurings, resulting in an adjusted ratio of 11.16%.
Through June 30, 2008, $347 million of loans modified pursuant to our borrower retention program have been removed from non-performing status because they met the six-month payment performance threshold. Of all loans modified pursuant to the borrower retention program, including both those classified as non-performing as well as those removed from non-performing status, 87% have made all payments due.
At June 30, 2008, real estate acquired in settlement of loans totaled $262 million. Included are 888 single family homes, one property consisting of 113 single family lots and one property consisting of raw land for approximately 545 single family lots. During the quarter, 522 new single family homes were acquired, while 209 were sold. As of quarter end, 87 single family homes were in escrow to be sold and offers were being negotiated on an additional 84 homes.
REGULATORY CAPITAL RATIOS
At June 30, 2008, Downey Financial Corp.'s primary subsidiary, Downey Savings and Loan Association, F.A., had core and tangible capital ratios of 7.57%, and a total risk-based capital ratio of 14.31%. As previously reported, the Bank's regulatory capital position was enhanced by $62 million during the current quarter from a contribution of $50 million of equity from the holding company and a $12 million dividend paid by DSL Service Company, the Bank's wholly-owned real estate subsidiary. This was more than offset by the net loss recorded in the current quarter.

 interest received when a loan prepays prior to the end of the
 month.  However, loan servicing activities do not include the
 benefit of the use of total loan repayments to increase net
 interest income.
(b)  Effective January 1, 2008, Downey adopted the fair value
 provision of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets - an
 amendment of FASB Statement No. 140 ("SFAS 156") and remeasured
 its mortgage servicing rights ("MSRs") at fair value.  Downey
 recorded a pretax adjustment to increase MSRs by $1.5 million
 and a corresponding cumulative effect adjustment of
 $0.9 million, after tax, to increase the 2008 beginning balance
 of retained earnings in stockholders' equity.
(c)  Reflects changes in assumptions for discount rates, prepayment
 speeds, etc.
(d)  Represents changes due to realization of expected cash flows
 over time.
(e)  Included minor amounts repurchased.
(f)  Excludes loans sub-serviced without capitalized mortgage
 servicing rights.  The estimated fair values for periods
 presented prior to 2008 may exceed book value for certain asset
 strata and excluded loans sold or securitized prior to 1996.
(g)  Servicing is performed for a fixed fee per loan each month.

(a)  Reflected the change in fair value of the interest rate lock
 derivative from the date of rate lock to the date of funding.
(b)  Represents troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) associated with
 Downey's borrower retention program wherein all loan payments
 were current and interest rates were modified to no less than
 that offered new borrowers at the time of loan modification.
 These TDR loans will be on non-accrual status until six
 consecutive months of successful payment history has been
 established, at which time they will be removed from non-
 accrual status and will no longer be reported as non-performing
 assets, just TDRs.
 Interest income is being recognized on these TDR loans as paid
 on a cash basis.
(c)  All 90 day or greater delinquencies are on non-accrual status
 and reported as part of non-performing assets.
Note:  Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to
   conform to the current presentation.
