Crazy Nut Job
Bank Failure Friday

The FDIC Failed Bank List received another update tonight. We’ve now had more bank failures this year than last. 143 and counting.

Bank Failure Friday

I’m a bit off due to a night at the pub (it’s now technically Saturday). But this is the first Friday of failures in a few weeks. Only one bank was added to the FDIC Failed Bank List. Horizon Bank of Bradenton, FL has failed. Horizon had $164.6 million in total deposits and will bring an estimated loss to the Deposit Insurance Fund of $58.9 million. The deal required a loss-share agreement between the FDIC and Bank of the Ozarks on $150.4 million of Horizon Bank’s assets.

This was the 119th bank failure of the year.

It’s another active Friday for the FDIC closure teams. Eight banks have been added to the FDIC Failed Bank List:

  1. Sonoma Valley Bank, Sonoma, CA - $255.5 million in total deposits and an estimated hit to the Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF) of $10.1 million.

  2. Los Padres Bank, Solvang, CA - Hey! A bank from my town failed. They were one of the first banks to stop making their TARP interest payments, so this has likely been in the works for a while. $770.7 million in total deposits and an estimated hit to the DIF of $8.7 million. This deal required a loss-share agreement between the FDIC and Pacific Western Bank on $579.8 million of Los Padres Bank’s assets.

  3. Butte Community Bank, Chico, CA - Total deposits of $471.3 million and an estimated hit to the DIF of $17.4 million. This was a twofer, and the next bank was part of the deal. The deal, of course, required a loss-share agreement between the FDIC and Rabobank, National Association on $425.4 million of Butte Community Bank’s assets.

  4. Pacific State Bank, Stockton, CA - Total deposits of $278.8 million and an estimated hit to the DIF of $32.6 million. The loss-share agreement covered $249.7 million of Pacific State Bank’s assets.

  5. ShoreBank, Chicago, IL - $1.54 billion in total deposits and an estimated hit to the DIF of $367.7 million. The deal required a loss-share agreement between the FDIC and Urban Partnership Bank on $1.41 billion of ShoreBank’s assets.

  6. Imperial Savings and Loan Association, Martinsville, VA - $10.1 million in total deposits and an estimated hit to the DIF of $3.5 million.

  7. Independent National Bank, Ocala, FL - Total deposits of $141.9 million and an estimated hit to the DIF of $23.2 million. This was also part of a twofer (including the next bank). The deal required a loss-share agreement between the FDIC and CenterState Bank of Florida, N.A. on $119.7 million of Independent National Bank’s assets.

  8. Community National Bank at Bartow, Bartow, FL - Total deposits of $63.7 million and an estimated hit to the DIF of $10.3. The loss-share agreement covered $51.9 million of Community National Bank At Bartow’s assets.

It will be another busy weekend for the FDIC teams and the pizza delivery crews.

Bank Failure Friday

It’s another busy Friday for the FDIC closure teams. Five banks have been added to the FDIC Failed Bank List:

  1. NorthWest Bank & Trust, Acworth, GA - $159.4 million in total deposits and an estimated hit to the Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF) of $39.8 million. This deal required a loss-share agreement between the FDIC and State Bank and Trust Company on $107.6 million of NorthWest Bank and Trust’s assets. Both branches will reopen on Saturday.

  2. Bayside Savings Bank, Port Saint Joe, FL - Total deposits of $52.4 million and an estimated hit to the DIF of $16.2 million. This deal required a loss-share agreement between the FDIC and Centennial Bank on $48.3 million of Bayside Savings Bank’s assets.

  3. Coastal Community Bank, Panama City Beach, FL -Total deposits of $363.2 million and an estimated hit to the DIF of $94.5 million. This deal required a loss-share agreement between the FDIC and Centennial Bank on $302.8 million of Coastal Community Bank’s assets.

  4. The Cowlitz Bank, Longview, WA - $513.9 million in total deposits and an estimated hit to the DIF of $68.9 million. This deal required a loss-share agreement between the FDIC and Heritage Bank on $160.9 million of The Cowlitz Bank’s assets.

  5. LibertyBank, Eugene, OR - $718.5 million in total deposits and an estimated hit to the DIF of $115.3 million. This deal required a loss-share agreement between the FDIC and Home Federal Bank on $300.0 million of LibertyBank’s assets.

We didn’t get a single failure this week that didn’t require a loss-share agreement. This is bad news. These deals are necessary for cash flow, but will likely end up with much higher final costs than normal acquisitions.

My sister is in town, so I’m off for the weekend. Ciao.

Bank Failure Friday

The second half bank failures are in full swing (I missed last week due to vacation. Six banks failed). Today, seven banks were added to the FDIC Failed Bank List:

  1. Sterling Bank, Lantana, FL - $372.4 million in total deposits and an estimated hit to the Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF) of $45.5 million. This deal required a loss-share agreement between the FDIC and IBERIABANK entered on $244.3 million of Sterling Bank’s assets.

  2. Crescent Bank and Trust Company, Jasper, GA - $965.7 million in total deposits and an estimated hit to the DIF of $242.4 million. This deal required a loss-share agreement between the FDIC and Renasant Bank on $617.4 million of Crescent Bank and Trust Company’s assets. All 11 branches will reopen for business on Saturday.

  3. Williamsburg First National Bank, Kingstree, SC - $134.3 million in total deposits and an estimated hit to the DIF of $8.8 million. This deal required a loss-share agreement between the FDIC and First Citizens Bank and Trust Company, Inc. on $64.4 million of Williamsburg First National Bank’s assets.

  4. Thunder Bank, Sylvan Grove, KS - $28.5 million in total deposits and an estimated hit to the DIF of $4.5 million. Nothing particularly special about the deal, which these days is pretty special. This was the 100th bank to fail this year.

  5. Community Security Bank, New Prague, MN - $99.7 million in total deposits and an estimated hit to the DIF of $18.6 million. The bank will reopen Saturday.

  6. SouthwestUSA Bank, Las Vegas, NV - $186.7 million in total deposits and an estimated hit to the DIF of $74.1 million. This deal required a loss-share agreement between the FDIC and Plaza Bank on $111.3 million of SouthwestUSA Bank’s assets.

  7. Home Valley Bank, Cave Junction, OR - $229.6 million in total deposits and an estimated hit to the DIF of $37.1 million. This deal required a loss-share agreement between the FDIC and South Valley Bank & Trust on $211.6 million of Home Valley Bank’s assets.

We’ve now witnessed 103 failures for the year. The FDIC planned on an increased failure rate in the second half, something that appears to be panning out. Even if the financial crisis was truly over, bank failures would continue for some time (they are a lagging indicator). Since I doubt we are even half of the way through this, expect failures for quite some time. Absent another bubble, many local and regional banks are going to struggle.
