Dallas, TX | March 12, 2009 |
| Revenues decreased by $790,000 when comparing the fourth quarter of 2008 to the fourth
quarter of 2007 due primarily to a reduction in (1) income from retained interests in
transferred assets (Retained Interests) resulting from the reduced outstanding balance of
our Retained Interests and (2) interest income resulting from decreases in variable interest
rates. |
| Expenses decreased by $997,000 during the fourth quarter of 2008 compared to the fourth
quarter of 2007 due primarily to a reduction in (1) interest expense resulting from decreases
in variable interest rates and (2) salaries and related benefits due to our cost reduction
initiatives and a decrease in bonus expense. |
| In addition to the changes in continuing operations described above, net income during the
fourth quarter of 2007 included recognition of $443,000 in gains that had previously been
deferred. |
| In October 2008, as a result of economic conditions, we announced cost reduction
initiatives. These initiatives included streamlining our sales, credit and servicing, as well
as outsourcing some functions. The plan resulted in severance related charges of $235,000
during the fourth quarter of 2008. |
| Total revenues during 2008 decreased $4,178,000 (15%) from 2007 primarily due to reductions
in income from Retained Interests and interest income. |
| Income from Retained Interests decreased $2,078,000 (25%) during 2008 due primarily to the
continued run-off of the underlying loans causing a reduction in our investment in Retained
Interests and a decrease in unanticipated prepayment fees. |
| Interest income decreased $1,925,000 (12%) during 2008 due primarily to decreases in
variable interest rates. |
| Our cost reduction initiatives resulted in severance related charges of $1,808,000 during
2008. Annual cost savings of $1.0 million are anticipated as a result of these cost reduction
initiatives. |
| Approximately 78% of our loans receivable at December 31, 2008 were based on LIBOR or the
prime rate. |
| The average 90-day LIBOR, on which we base the interest rate we charge on our LIBOR-based
loans, decreased to 3.5% during 2008 from 5.3% during 2007. The LIBOR base rate was 1.44%
commencing January 1, 2009. |
PMC COMMERCIAL TRUST | Earnings Press Release | March 12, 2009 |
| Total assets were approximately $227.5 million at December 31, 2008 compared to
approximately $231.4 million at December 31, 2007 and approximately $228.3 million at
September 30, 2008. |
| Total serviced loan portfolio was approximately $275.5 million at December 31, 2008
compared to approximately $326.4 million at December 31, 2007 and approximately $287.3 million
as of September 30, 2008. |
| Outstanding retained loan portfolio was approximately $180.6 million at December 31, 2008
compared to approximately $166.4 million at December 31, 2007 and approximately $186.7 million
as of September 30, 2008. |
| The structured notes payable of two special purpose entities were repaid during 2008. As a
result, approximately $21.4 million of loans previously included within our securitized
portfolio were included in our retained portfolio. |
| During 2008, we funded approximately $34.6 million of loans. |
| We anticipate that 2009 aggregate loan funding will range between $20 million to $30
million, and is anticipated to be almost exclusively through SBA 7(a) loan originations. |
| Principal prepayments on our retained portfolio were $27.9 million during 2008 compared to
$26.5 million during 2007. |
| Prepayments of our serviced portfolio were $68.6 million during 2008 compared to $84.1
million during 2007. |
| We believe that the credit market disruptions have had a moderating effect on our
prepayment activity. As a result, we anticipate that 2009 loan prepayments will be
significantly below the 2008 levels. In 2009, we have not had any prepayments of our retained
loans. |
| We have not sold any SBA 7(a) loans into the secondary market since the third quarter of
2008 when the market softened and the prices were below what we felt were reasonable. As
such, as of December 31, 2008 and February 28, 2009, we have fully funded SBA 7(a) loans of
$4.0 million and $5.7 million, respectively, of which the guaranteed portion of $3.0 million
and $4.3 million, respectively, remain available to be sold. |
| Our $45 million revolving credit facility, which matures December 31, 2009, had $22.7
million outstanding at December 31, 2008 and $27.8 million at February 28, 2009. |
