The Bancorp reported a net loss of $31.4 million, or $0.83 loss per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 compared to net income of $174,000, or $0.00 net income per share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2015. Net loss from continuing operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 was $17.8 million or a loss of $0.47 per diluted share compared to net loss from continuing operations of $2.5 million or a loss of $0.07 per diluted share for the quarter ended June 30, 2015. Loss from continuing operations does not include any income which may result from the reinvestment of the proceeds from sales of the remaining $471.1 million of commercial and residential loans in The Bancorp’s discontinued operations. Tier one capital to assets, tier one capital to risk-weighted assets, total capital to risk-weighted assets and common equity-tier 1 ratios were 6.78%, 12.72%, 12.97% and 12.72% compared to well capitalized minimums of 5%, 8%, 10% and 6.5%.

Damian Kozlowski, The Bancorp’s Chief Executive Officer, said, “Upon joining Bancorp, I immediately began a process to create a new business plan that will sustain our revenue growth, lower our expenses, increase productivity and reduce earnings volatility from our portfolio. In addition, the plan will also be squarely focused on resolving any issues with our regulators and managing the overall risk of our institution. We hope to complete the plan by the end of the 3rd quarter and implement many parts of it by the end of 2016. Strong revenue growth continued this quarter, and our core lending businesses drove a 23% increase over prior year quarter net interest income. Our non-interest income reflected 21% growth in prepaid card fees to $13.5 million. Earnings were negatively impacted by continued high regulatory lookback expenses, as expected, and were further negatively impacted by loan charges on discontinued operations and charges relating to our retained interest in an unconsolidated entity. Lookback expenses totaled $13.4 million for the quarter. However, the lookback is substantially complete and we expect that lookback expense will be substantially less in the third quarter. Loan charges on discontinued operations were based on quarterly loan valuations by third party loan review companies and totaled $17 million in the quarter. Additional charges of $15 million against the investment in unconsolidated entity were also taken on the basis of third party review. That entity, in which we have a substantial retained interest, represents the financing of a portion of the sale of certain discontinued loans to an independent investor. Loan charges during the quarter partially reflected strategies to liquidate certain unique collateral and properties to expedite resolution as we continue to pursue sales of other discontinued loans. Credit losses in our continuing operations which we believe to be lower risk lines of business, continue to be very low.”
