Southwest Bancorporation of Texas announced that its third-quarter earnings will be affected by a $1.9 million "non-cash writedown" of its mortgage servicing asset, reflecting the decline in interest rates since June 30.

The company also said it faced "continued pressure on its net interest margin."

The after-tax writedown on the value of the mortgage servicing rights will reduce third-quarter earnings by five cents per share, the firm said.

The third-quarter results will also reflect a $1.2 million after-tax gain from the sale of investment securities and the sale of some mortgage servicing rights on multifamily loans, the company said.

For the quarter, Southwest Bancorp estimated in early October that its earnings would be $14.5 million, or 42 cents per share. That would be a 4.5% increase over the third quarter of last year.

Paul Murphy, president and CEO of the firm, said the company "will have a solid year" for several reasons. He said the company's asset quality reflects a conservative credit culture. In addition, fee income, deposit and loan growth are expected to be positive for the year.

"The Houston economy is performing at a satisfactory level against a backdrop of national uncertainty," he said.
