UMB FINANCIAL CORPORATION

 

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2003

 

 

1. Financial Statement Presentation:

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of UMB Financial Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) after elimination of all material intercompany transactions. In the opinion of management of the Company, all adjustments, which were of a normal recurring nature and necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations, have been made. The results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented may not be indicative for the results of the full year. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and results of Operations and in conjunction with the Company’s 2002 Annual Report or Form 10-K.

 

 

2. Summary of Accounting Policies

 

The Company is a multi-bank holding company, which offers a wide range of banking services to its customers through its branches and offices in the states of Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, Illinois, Oklahoma, Nebraska and Wisconsin. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. These estimates and assumptions also impact reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Following is a summary of the more significant accounting policies to assist the reader in understanding the financial presentation.

 

Consolidation. The Company and its subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements (as noted above, references hereinafter to the “Company” in these Notes to Financial Statements include wholly owned subsidiaries). Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

 

Loans. Affiliate banks enter into lease financing transactions that are generally recorded under the financing method of accounting. Management recognizes income on a basis that it believes results in an approximate level rate of return over the life of the lease.

 

A loan is considered to be impaired when management believes it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all principal and interest due according to the contractual terms of the loan. If a loan is impaired, the Company records a loss valuation allowance equal to the carrying amount of the loan in excess of the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective rate, based on the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Real estate and consumer loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Management evaluates the possible impairment of commercial loans on a loan-by-loan basis.

 

Management bases the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses on it’s continuing evaluation of the pertinent factors underlying the quality of the loan portfolio, including actual loan loss experience, current economic conditions, detailed analysis of individual loans for which full collectibility may not be assured, determination of the existence and realizable value of the collateral and guarantees securing such loans. The actual losses, notwithstanding such considerations, however, could differ significantly from the amounts estimated by management.

 

Securities. Debt securities available for sale by the Company principally include U.S. Treasury and agency securities and mortgage-backed securities. Securities classified as available for sale are measured at fair value. The Company excludes unrealized holding gains and losses from earnings and reports them in accumulated other comprehensive income until realized. The Company computes realized gains and losses on sales by the specific identification method at the time of disposition and states them separately as a component of noninterest income.

 

The Company carries securities held to maturity at amortized historical cost based on management’s intention, and the Company’s ability, to hold them to maturity. The Company classifies most securities of state and political subdivisions as held to maturity. Certain significant unforeseeable changes in circumstances may change the Company’s intent to hold these securities to maturity. For example, such changes may include deterioration in the issuer’s credit-worthiness that is expected to continue or a change in tax law that eliminates the tax-exempt status of interest on the security.

The Company carries trading securities, generally acquired for subsequent sale to customers, at market value. The Company considers market adjustments, fees and gains or losses on the sale of trading securities to be a normal part of operations and includes such adjustments, fees and gains or losses in trading and investment banking income. The Company includes interest income on trading securities in income from earning assets.

 

Goodwill and Other Intangibles. Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted the provision of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142, as required for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets resulting from business combinations consummated after June 30, 2001. The new rules require that goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives are no longer amortized, but are tested at least annually for impairment. Prior to January 1, 2002, goodwill and other intangibles were amortized using the straight-line method over periods up to 40 years. As a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 142, the Company has segregated goodwill acquired from prior acquisitions into the separate line items of goodwill and other intangibles in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Goodwill is no longer amortized but is tested for impairment annually. Effective January 1, 2002 the Company performed the transitional impairment test of goodwill in accordance with SFAS No. 142; which resulted in no impairment charge. The Company has elected November 30 as its annual measurement date for testing impairment and as a result of the impairment test performed on November 30, 2002, no impairment charge was recorded. Other intangible assets are amortized over a period of 10 years.

 

Per Share Data. Basic income per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted quarterly and year-to-date per share data includes the diluted effect of 19,564 and 34,414 shares issueable under options granted by the Company at March 31, 2003 and 2002 respectively.

 

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Stock-based compensation is recognized using the intrinsic value method for disclosure purposes. Pro forma net income and earnings per share are disclosed as if the fair value method had been applied.

 

The Company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations in accounting for its plans. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for the stock option plan. The table below in accordance with SFAS No. 148 “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure, an Amendment to FASB Statement 123”, discloses the effect on the Company’s net income and per share data for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 had compensation costs for the Company’s plans been determined based upon the fair value at the grant date for awards under these plans consistent with the methodology prescribed under SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”.

3. New Accounting Pronouncements

 

Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations. In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations”. This statement establishes accounting standard for recognition and measurement of a liability for asset retirement obligation and the associated

asset retirement costs. This statement was adopted by the Company on January 1, 2003. Implementation of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13 and Technical Corrections. In April, 2002, FASB issued SFAS No. 145, “Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, amendment of FASB Statement No. 13 and Technical Corrections”. This statement rescinds the following pronouncements: FASB Statement No. 4, 44 and 64. This Statement also amends APB Opinion No. 30 and FASB Statements No. 13, 15, 22 and 144. This Statement also makes technical corrections to APB Opinion No. 28 and 30, and FASB Statements 13, 19 and 66. The effective date of this statement was May 15, 2002. Implementation of the statement did not to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. In June 2002, FASB issued SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities”. This statement applies to costs associated with an exit activity that does not involve a newly acquired business or a disposal activity covered by SFAS No. 144. The provisions of this statement are effective for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. Implementation of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions. In October 2002, FASB issued SFAS No. 147, “Acquisition of Certain Financial Institutions”. This statement addresses the financial accounting and reporting for the acquisition of all or part of financial institutions and removes the acquisition from the scope of SFAS No. 72. This Statement is in effect for all acquisitions after October 1, 2002. Implementation of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure-an Amendment of FASB Statement 123. In December 2002, FASB issued SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure—an Amendment of FASB Statement 123”. This statement amends FASB Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” to provide alternative methods of transition from an entity that voluntarily changes to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. It also amends the disclosure provisions of that Statement to require disclosure about the effects on reported net income of an entity’s accounting policy decision with respect to stock-based employee compensation. Finally, this statement amends APB Opinion No. 28 “Interim Financial Reporting”, to require disclosure about those effects in interim financial information. SFAS No. 148 is effective for fiscal years ending on or after December 31, 2002. The Company has included the required disclosures in the notes to these financial statements and plans to continue accounting for stock-based compensation under APB Opinion No. 25.

 

Accounting for Guarantees. In November 2002, FASB issued Financial Interpretation (FIN) No. 45, “Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others”. FIN No. 45 requires a guarantor to recognize, at the inception of the guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. It also provides additional guidance on the disclosure of the guarantees. The recognition and measurement provisions are effective for guarantees made or modified after December 31, 2002. The disclosure provisions are effective for fiscal periods ending after December 15, 2002 and have been implemented herein. The Company adopted the measurement provisions of FIN No. 45 as required in the first quarter of 2003. The Company is using the fee received or receivable by the Company as guarantor to record the liability of the guarantee. The liability will remain on the records of the Company until the expiration or the annual renewal date of the standby letter of credit. The impact of FIN No. 45 was not material on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities. In January 2003, FASB issued FIN No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”. FIN No. 46 requires consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities that meet certain requirements. The interpretation applies immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003 and to variable interest entities in which an enterprise obtains an interest after that date. The Company adopted the provisions of FIN No. 46 on January 1, 2003 and such adoption did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements based on the current structure of the Company.

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2003

 

 

6. Commitments, contingencies and Guarantees:

 

In the normal course of business, the Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in order to meet the financing needs of its customers and to reduce its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, commercial letters of credit, standby letters of credit, and futures contracts. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheet. The contract or notional amount of those instruments reflects the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments.

 

The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit, commercial letters of credit, and standby letters of credit is represented by the contract or notional amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

 

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the agreement. These conditions generally include, but are not limited to, each customer being current as to repayment terms of existing loans and no deterioration in the customer’s financial condition. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. The interest rate is generally a variable rate. If the commitment has a fixed interest rate, the rate is generally not set until such time as credit is extended. For credit card customers, the Company has the right to change or terminate any terms or conditions of the credit card account at any time. Since a large portion of the commitments and unused credit card lines are never actually drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on an individual basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, real estate, plant and equipment, stock, securities and certificates of deposit.

 

Commercial letters of credit are issued specifically to facilitate trade or commerce. Under the terms of a commercial letter of credit, as a general rule, drafts will be drawn when the underlying transaction is consummated as intended. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company with respect to the performance of a customer of its obligations to a third party.

 

The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities. The Company holds collateral supporting those commitments when deemed necessary. Collateral varies but may include such items as those described for commitments to extend credit.

 

Futures contracts are contracts for delayed delivery of securities or money market instruments in which the seller agrees to make delivery at a specified future date, of a specified instrument, at a specified yield. Risks arise from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from movement in securities values and interest rates. Instruments used in trading activities are carried at market value and gains and losses on futures contracts are settled in cash daily. Any changes in the market value are recognized in trading and investment banking income.

 

The Company’s use of futures contracts is very limited. The Company uses contracts to offset interest rate risk on specific securities held in the trading portfolio. Open futures contract positions averaged $37.7 million and $42.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Net futures activity resulted in losses of $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and gains of $0.1 million for the same period in 2002. The Company controls the credit risk of its futures contracts through credit approvals, limits and monitoring procedures.

 

The Company also enters into foreign exchange contracts on a limited basis. For operating purposes, the Company maintains certain balances in foreign banks. Foreign exchange contracts are purchased on a monthly basis to avoid foreign exchange risk on these foreign balances. The Company will also enter into foreign exchange contracts to facilitate foreign exchange needs of customers. The Company will enter into a contract to buy or sell a foreign currency at a future date only as part of a contract to sell or buy the foreign currency at the same future date to a customer. During the three months ended March 31, 2003, contracts to purchase and sell foreign currency averaged approximately $8.5 million compared to $71.4 million for the same period in 2002. The net gain on these

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2003

 

foreign exchange contracts for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 were $0.4 million and $0.3 million respectively.

 

With respect to group concentrations of credit risk, most of the Company’s business activity is with customers in the states of Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, Oklahoma, Nebraska and Illinois. At March 31,2003, the Company did not have any significant credit concentrations in any particular industry.

 

In the normal course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are named defendants in various lawsuits and counter-claims. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, none of these lawsuits are expected to have a materially adverse effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

 

The Company has issued standby letters of credit, which in many respects are comparable to guarantees of its customers’ obligations. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company payable upon the non-performance of a customer’s obligations to a third party. The Company issues these standby letters of credit for terms ranging from three months to three years. The Company generally requires the customer to pledge collateral to support the letter of credit. The maximum liability to the Company under standby letters of credit at March 31, 2003 was $176.6 million. It is unlikely that the Company would ever have to payout on the $176.6 million. As of March, 31, 2003, standby letters of credit totaling $38.5 million were with related parties to the Company.

The Company has strategically aligned its operations into four major lines of business, as shown below (collectively, “Business Segments”). The Business Segments are differentiated based on the products and services provided. The Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer regularly evaluates lines of business financial results produced by the Company’s internal management accounting system are evaluated in deciding how to allocate resources and access performance per individual Business Segment. Management assigns balance sheet and income statement items to each line of business using methodologies, which are constantly being refined.

 

These methodologies may be modified as management enhances the Company’s accounting systems are enhanced and changes occur in the organizational structure or product lines. The Company assigns noninterest income and noninterest expense directly attributable to a line of business is assigned to that line of business. The Company allocates direct expenses incurred by areas whose services support the overall Company, and corporate overhead, to the Business Segments based on the ratio of an individual Business Segment’s noninterest expenses to total noninterest expense incurred by all business lines. Equity is allocated based on credit, operational and business risks.

 

Commercial Banking     serves medium and small businesses, corporate businesses and governmental entities by offering various products and services, including commercial loans and lines of credit, deposits, cash management, capital market products, international trade finance, letters of credit, foreign exchange management services and loan syndication services.

Earnings Summary

 

The Company earned net income of $14.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003, compared to $19.6 million for the same period a year earlier. This represents a 25.9% decrease over the three-month period ended March 31, 2002. Earnings per share for the first quarter 2003 were $0.66 per share compared to $0.89 per share for the first quarter 2002, a decrease of 25.8%. Return on average assets and return on average common shareholders’ equity for the three-month period ended March 31, 2003, was 0.78% and 7.29%, respectively, as compared to 0.95% and 10.17% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2002. Return on average assets is calculated by dividing annualized net income by the daily average of total assets. Return on average common shareholders’ equity is calculated by dividing annualized net income by the daily average common shareholders’ equity.

 

Net interest income for the first quarter of 2003 declined 12.0% from the first quarter of 2002. Loans, investment securities and interest bearing deposit portfolio interest rates repriced gradually to lower portfolio interest rates throughout 2002 to reflect the full impact of eleven interest rate decreases in 2001.

 

The Company had a decrease of 5.4% in noninterest income for the first quarter 2003 compared to the first quarter of 2002. The decline was caused by lower gains on sale of securities and lower trust and securities processing fees.

 

Noninterest expense declined 3.7% for the first quarter of 2003 compared to the same period in 2002. The primary reasons for the decrease were lower salaries and employee benefit costs.

Net Interest Income

Table of Contents

The primary reason for the decline in earnings for the three-month period ended March 31, 2003 was lower net interest income. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2003, the Company earned net interest income of $50.9 million compared to $57.6 million for the first quarter 2002. The decrease was caused by lower volume of earning assets and lower rates on the earning assets. Loans, investment securities and interest bearing deposit portfolio interest rates repriced gradually to lower portfolio interest rates throughout 2002 to reflect the full impact of eleven interest rate decreases in 2001. Average loans declined $182 million in the first quarter 2003, compared to the first quarter of 2002. The decline was primarily the result of customer loan payoffs in a slow economy. Average securities declined $526 million for the first quarter 2003, which was the result of a $570 million decline in average deposits in the first quarter 2003.

 

Average balances/yields and rates are presented in table 1 below, which shows the decline in the net interest margin to 3.15% for the first quarter of 2003 compared to 3.31% for the first quarter of 2002. The rates earned on average earning assets declined 58 basis points (0.58%) for the three months ended March 31, 2003, compared to the same period 2002. The decrease on earning assets was partially offset by a 51 basis point (0.51%) decline in the rate paid on interest bearing liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2003, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2002.

 

Table 1

AVERAGE BALANCES / YIELDS AND RATES (tax-equivalent basis) (unaudited, dollars in thousands)

 

The following table presents, for the periods indicated the total dollar amount of interest income from average interest-earning assets and resultant yields, as well as the interest expense on average interest-bearing liabilities, express in both dollars and rates. All average balances are daily average balances. The average yield on earnings assets without the tax-equivalent basis would have been 3.88% for the first months ended March 31, 2003 and 4.34% for the same period in 2002.

Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses

 

The allowance for loan losses (“ALL”) represents management’s judgment of the losses inherent in the Company’s loan portfolio. The provision for loan losses is the amount necessary to adjust its ALL to the level considered appropriate by management. Management of the Company reviews the adequacy of the ALL quarterly, considering such items as historical loss trends, a review of individual loans, current economic conditions, loan growth and characteristics, industry or segment concentration and other factors. Bank regulatory agencies require that the adequacy of the ALL be maintained on a bank-by-bank basis for each of the Company’s subsidiaries. The Company utilizes a centralized credit administration function, which provides information on affiliate bank risk levels, delinquencies, an internal ranking system and overall credit exposure. In addition, loan requests are centrally reviewed to ensure the consistent application of the loan policy and standards.

 

The Company’s ALL was $39.5 million at March 31, 2003, compared to $36.9 million at March 31, 2002 and $37.3 at December 31, 2002. This represents an allowance to total loans of 1.6%, 1.4% and 1.4% as of March 31, 2003, March 31, 2002, and December 31, 2002, respectively. Net loan charge-offs declined slightly to $1.75

Management of the Company increased the ALL because of an increase in nonperforming loans in 2002 and to provide a reserve for future potential loan losses due to the impact that the slow economy may have on the ability of the customer to service debt. At March 31, 2003, the allowance for loan losses exceeded total non-performing loans by $30.0 million. Although no assurance can be given, management of the Company believes that the present allowance for loan losses is adequate considering the Company’s loss experience, delinquency trends and current economic conditions.

 

The Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $4.0 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2003, compared to $3.1 million for the same period 2002. The increase in the loan loss provision for the first quarter 2003 was primarily due to the increase in nonperforming loans in 2002 and to provide for potential future loan losses resulting from the slow economy and customers ability to service their debt.

 

Table 3 presents a summary of the Company’s allowance for loan losses for the first quarter ended March 31, 2003 and the first quarter ended March 31, 2002 and for the year ended 2002. Also, please see Credit Risk under Risk Management in this report for information relating to non-accrual, past due, restructured loans and other credit risk matters.

Noninterest income was $58.7 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2003, compared to $62.1 million for the same period in 2002. Trust and securities processing fees decreased $3.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003, compared to the same period in 2002. Trust fees are calculated on the market value of the assets in the trust, therefore, with the decline in equity markets trust fees were lower in the first three months ended March 31, 2003 than compared to same period in 2002.

 

Trading and investment banking income increased $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003, compared to the same period in 2002. The increase was mainly market driven, as customers continued to flee the stock market to invest in high quality bonds.

 

Fees and service charges on deposit account increased $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003, compared to the same period in 2002. The increase in fees was primarily related to corporate deposit accounts resulting in new customer relationships and the sale of additional cash management services. Corporate and retail deposit fees also increased because of adjustments to fee schedules reflecting market price increases. Corporate service charge fees also increased due to lower minimum balances maintained by corporate customers and the lower earnings credit rate allowed on those balances.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2002, the Company recorded $2.4 million in gains on sale of securities available for sale. However, in the three months ended March 31, 2003, the Company did not sell any securities, because the replacement securities would have had lower interest rates.

Noninterest expense decreased $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2002.

 

The decrease in noninterest expense was primarily due to salaries and employee benefits decreasing $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003, compared to the same period in 2002. Salaries declined $0.7 million for the first quarter 2003, compared to the same period in 2002. The decrease was primarily due to lower staffing levels, the Company’s full-time equivalent employees dropped from 4,186 on March 31, 2002, to 4,007 on March 31, 2003. Profit sharing accrual declined $0.9 million for the first quarter 2003, compared to the same period in 2002 due to lower profit levels. The above decreases were partially offset by the $0.3 million increase in the amount the Company paid for medical insurance premiums for the first quarter of 2003, compared to the same period in 2002.

 

Equipment costs declined $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003, compared to the same period in 2002. The decease was primarily due to lower depreciation and equipment maintenance costs.

Loans

 

Loans represent the Company’s largest source of interest income. At March 31, 2003 loans amounted to $2.5 billion, compared to $2.7 billion at March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2002. On average, loans totaled $2.57 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2003, and $2.75 billion for the same period in 2002 and $2.65 billion for the year ended December 31, 2002. Average loan balances decreased due to an increasing competitive loan market and increased volume of loan payoffs by customers in a slow economy. Management plans to focus on the consumer and middle market to increase loans in the future. During the first quarter of 2003, the Company reviewed the classifications of loans, to determine if the loan was properly recorded on the loan system. The result of this review was the reclassification of $92 million in loans from commercial to commercial real estate.

 

Nonaccrual, past due and restructured loans are discussed in the Credit Risk under Risk Management section in this report.

 

 

Securities

 

Management believes that the Company’s security portfolio provides significant liquidity as a result of the composition and average life of the underlying securities; this liquidity can be used to fund loan growth or to offset the outflow of traditional funding sources. In addition to providing a source of potential liquidity, management believes the security portfolio can be used as a tool to manage interest rate sensitivity. The Company’s goal in the management of its securities portfolio is to maximize return within the Company’s parameters of liquidity goals, interest rate risk and credit risk. Historically, the Company has maintained very high liquidity levels while investing in only high-grade securities. The security portfolio generates the Company’s second largest component of interest income.

 

Securities available for sale and securities held to maturity comprised 59% of the earning assets as of March 31, 2003, March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2002. The decrease in securities as of March 31, 2003, compared to the March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2002 was primarily due to lower deposits and borrowed funds.

Table of Contents

 

Deposits and Borrowed Funds

 

Deposits represent the primary funding source for the Company’s asset base. Deposits totaled $5.5 billion at March 31, 2003, compared to $6.0 billion at March 31, 2002, and $5.8 billion at December 31, 2002. The decrease for March 2003, compared to March 2002 was primarily due to a reduction in balances maintained by commercial customers and public fund depositors. The Company continually strives to expand, improve and promote its cash management services in order to attract and retain commercial funding customers.

 

Securities sold under agreement to repurchase totaled $945 million at March 31, 2003, compared to $1,282 million at March 31, 2002 and $1,210 million at December 31, 2002. Repurchase agreements are transactions involving the exchange of investment funds by the customer, for securities by the Company, under an agreement to repurchase the same or similar issues at an agreed-upon price and date.

 

During the first quarter of 2003, the Company paid off a $15 million senior note originated in1993.

 

 

Capital and Liquidity

 

The Company places a significant emphasis on the maintenance of a strong capital position, which promotes investor confidence, provides access to funding sources under favorable terms, and enhances the Company’s ability to capitalize on business growth and acquisition opportunities. Higher levels of liquidity, however, bear corresponding costs, measured in terms of lower yields on short-term, more liquid earning assets and higher interest expenses for extended liability maturities. Management of the Company manages capital for each subsidiary based upon the subsidiary’s respective risks and growth opportunities as well as regulatory requirements.

 

Total shareholders’ equity was $799.8 million at March 31, 2003, compared to $770.5 million at March 31, 2002. During each year, management has the opportunity to repurchase shares of the Company’s stock at prices, which, in management’s opinion, would enhance overall shareholder value. During the first quarter 2003 and 2002, the Company acquired 218,457 and 87,770 shares, respectively, of its common stock.

 

Risk-based capital guidelines established by regulatory agencies establish minimum capital standards based on the level of risk associated with a financial institution’s assets. A financial institution’s total capital is required to equal at least 8% of risk-weighted assets. At least half of that 8% must consist of Tier 1 core capital, and the remainder may be Tier 2 supplementary capital. The risk-based capital guidelines indicate the specific risk weightings by type of asset. Certain off-balance-sheet items (such as standby letters of credit and binding loan commitments) are multiplied by credit conversion factors to translate them into balance sheet equivalents before assigning them specific risk weightings. Due to the Company’s high level of core capital and substantial portion of earning assets invested in government securities, the Tier 1 capital ratio of 18.89% and total capital ratio of 19.90% substantially exceed the regulatory minimums.

 

For further discussion of capital and liquidity, please see liquidity under item Risk Management in this report.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The Company has established various accounting policies, which govern the application of accounting principals generally, accepted in the United States of America in the preparation of the Company financial statements. Certain accounting require management to make estimates and assumptions that have a material impact on the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period; management considers such accounting policies to be critical account policies. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to customers and suppliers, allowance for loan losses, bad debts, investments, financing operations, long-lived assets, contingencies and litigation. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Because of the nature of the judgments and assumptions made by management, actual results could differ from these judgments and estimates, which could have a material impact on the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the results of operations of the Company.

 

Management believes that the Company’s critical accounting policies are those relating to: allowance for loan losses; goodwill and other intangibles; impairment of long-lived assets; revenue recognition; and, accounting for stock based compensation. The allowance for loan losses represents management’s judgment of the losses inherent in the Company’s loan portfolio. Management reviews the adequacy of its loan loss allowance quarterly, considering such items as historical trends, a review of individual loans, current economic conditions, loan growth and characteristics, industry or segment concentration, and other factors. Bank regulatory agencies require that the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses be maintained on a bank-by-bank basis, however, the Company uses a centralized credit administration function, which provides information on affiliate bank risk levels, delinquencies, and internal ranking systems.

 

Goodwill and other intangibles are now to be accounted for under the SFAS No. 142, which was effective January 1, 2002. The Company has segregated goodwill acquired from prior acquisitions into goodwill and other intangibles. Goodwill is no longer amortized, in accordance with SFAS No. 142. The Company has performed two impairment tests of goodwill since inception of the new standard. As a result of those tests, the Company has not recorded an impairment charge. The Company is amortizing other intangibles over 10 years.

 

Revenue recognition is the recording of interest on loans and securities and is recognized based on rate multiplied by the principal amount outstanding. Interest accrual is discontinued when, in the opinion of management, the likelihood of collection becomes doubtful. Annual bankcard fees are recognized on a straight-line basis over the period that cardholders may use the card. Other noninterest income is recognized as services are performed or revenue-generating transactions are executed.

 

Stock-based compensation is recognized using the intrinsic value method for disclosure purposes. Proforma net income and earnings per share disclose the impact on earnings as if the fair value method had been applied. Actual results may differ from the recorded estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Risk Management

Interest Rate Risk

 

In the banking industry, a major risk exposure is changing interest rates. To minimize the effect of interest rate changes to net interest income and exposure levels to economic losses, the Company manages its exposure to changes in interest rates through asset and liability management within guidelines established by its Funds Management Committee (“FMC”) and approved by the Board of Directors. The FMC has the responsibility for approving and ensuring compliance with asset/liability management policies, including interest rate exposure. The Company uses the following methods (simulation tools) for measuring and analyzing consolidated interest rate risk: Market Value of Equity Modeling (Net Portfolio Value); Net Interest Income Simulation Analysis; and, Repricing Mismatch Analysis. The Company does not use hedges or swaps to manage interest rate risk except for the use of future contracts to offset interest rate risk on specific securities held in its trading portfolio.

 

 

Market Value of Equity (Net Portfolio Value) Modeling

 

The Company uses the Market Value of Equity Modeling (“Net Portfolio Value”) to measure and manage interest rate sensitivity. The Net Portfolio Value measures the degree to which the market values of the Company’s assets and liabilities will change given a change in interest rates. This model is designed to represent, as of the respective date selected, the increase or decrease in the market value of assets and liabilities that would result from a hypothetical change in interest rates on such date. The Company uses a hypothetical rate change (rate shock) of 100 basis points and 200 basis points up or down. To perform these calculations, the Company uses the current loan, investment and deposit portfolios. The Company then makes assumptions regarding new loans and deposits based on historical analysis, management’s outlook and repricing strategies. The Company also analyzes loan prepayments and other market risks from industry estimates of prepayment yields and other market changes. Given the low level of current interest rates, the down 200 basis point scenario cannot be completed as of December 31, 2002. Table 8 sets forth, for March 31, 2003 and 2002 and December 31, 2002, the increase or decrease (as applicable) in Net Portfolio Value, that would be caused by the following hypothetical immediate changes in interest rates on such date: an immediate increase of 200 basis points; an immediate increase of 100 basis points; and, an immediate decrease of 100 basis points. Table 8 includes both instruments entered into for trading purposes, and the instruments entered into for other than trading purposes, since the former represents such a small portion of the Company’s portfolio that any difference in the interest rate risk associated with it (as compared with the risk associated with instruments entered into for other than trading purposes) is immaterial.

 

The net portfolio value as of March 31, 2003 is higher than March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2002 at both the 100 and 200 basis points increases. The increases were due to the following reason, total assets, loans, investment securities and deposits were higher levels at March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2002. The Company will benefit from rates increasing since a majority of the earning assets and deposits have been repriced. For the same reasons, the net portfolio value as of March 31, 2003 is higher than March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2002.

Net Interest Income Modeling

 

Another tool used to measure interest rate risk and the effect of interest rate changes on net interest income and net interest margin is Net Interest Income Simulation Analysis. This analysis incorporates substantially all of

Table of Contents

 

the Company’s assets and liabilities together with forecasted changes in the balance sheet and assumptions that reflect the current interest rate environment. Through these simulations management estimates the impact on net interest income of a 200 basis point upward or downward gradual change of market interest rates over a one year period. These simulations include assumptions about how the balance sheet is likely to change with changes in loan and deposit growth. Assumptions are made to project rates for new loans and deposits based on historical analysis, management outlook and repricing strategies. Loan prepayment and other market risks are developed from industry estimates of prepayment spreads and other market change. Since the results of these simulations can be significantly influenced by assumptions utilized, management evaluates the sensitivity of the simulation results to changes in assumptions. Due to the low level of current interest rates the scenarios that simulate a 100 basis point and a 200 basis point decrease cannot be completed as of March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002. Table 9 shows the net interest income, increase or decrease over the next twelve months as of March 31, 2003, 2002, and December 31, 2002. The three periods show that if rates rise 100 or 200 basis points net interest income will increase. At March 31, 2002, the table shows that a decrease in rates will mean a decrease in net interest income. This is a result of being asset sensitive, meaning assets reprice more quickly than liabilities, giving rise to an improved net interest income in an increasing rate environment and lower net interest income in a decreasing rate environment.

Repricing Mismatch Analysis

 

The Company also evaluates its interest rate sensitivity position in an attempt to maintain a balance between the amount of interest-bearing assets and interest-bearing liabilities which are expected to mature or reprice at any point in time. While a traditional repricing mismatch analysis (“gap analysis”) provides a snapshot of interest rate risk, it does not take into consideration that assets and liabilities with similar repricing characteristics may not in fact reprice at the same time or the same degree. Also, it does not necessarily predict the impact of changes in general levels of interest rates on net interest income.

 

Management attempts to structure the balance sheet to provide for the repricing of approximately equal amounts of assets and liabilities within specific time intervals. The Company is in a positive gap position because assets maturing or repricing exceed liabilities.

 

Other Market Risk

 

The Company does not have commodity price risks or derivative risks.

 

Credit Risk Management

 

Credit risk represents the risk that a customer or counterparty may not perform in accordance with contractual terms. Credit risk is inherent in the financial services business and results from extending credit to customers. The Company utilizes a centralized credit administration function, which provides information on affiliate bank risk levels, delinquencies, an internal ranking system and overall credit exposure. In addition, loan requests are centrally reviewed to insure the consistent application of the loan policy and standards. The Company has an internal loan review staff that operates independently of the affiliate banks. This review team performs periodic examinations of each bank’s loans for credit quality, documentation and loan administration. The respective regulatory authority of each affiliate bank also reviews loan portfolios.

Another means of ensuring loan quality is diversification. By keeping its loan portfolio diversified, the Company has avoided problems associated with undue concentrations of loans within particular industries. The Company has no significant exposure to highly leveraged transactions and has no foreign credits in its loan portfolio.

 

A primary indicator of credit quality and risk management is the level of nonperforming loans. Nonperforming loans include both nonaccrual loans and restructured loans. The Company’s nonperforming loans decreased $4.2 million at March 31, 2003, compared to March 31, 2002 and $1.1 million at December 31, 2002. The major portion of nonperforming loans is due to three commercial loan customers.

 

The Company had $5.0 million in other real estate owned as of March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, compared to $5.8 million as of March 31, 2002. The $5.0 million is primarily associated with one foreclosed credit. Loans past due more than 90 days totaled $6.0 million as of March 31, 2003, compared to $7.9 million as of March 31, 2002 and $7.7 million as of December 31, 2002.

 

A loan is generally placed on nonaccrual status when payments are past due 90 days or more and/or when management has considerable doubt about the borrower’s ability to repay on the terms originally contracted. The accrual of interest is discontinued and recorded thereafter only when actually received in cash.

Liquidity Risk

 

Liquidity represents the Company’s ability to meet financial commitments through the maturity and sale of existing assets or availability of additional funds. The most important factor in the preservation of liquidity is maintaining public confidence that facilitates the retention and growth of a large, stable supply of core deposits and wholesale funds. Ultimately, public confidence is generated through profitable operations, sound credit quality and a strong capital position. The primary source of liquidity for the Company is regularly scheduled payments on and maturity of assets, which include $3.7 billion of high-quality securities available for sale. The liquidity of the Company and its affiliate banks is also enhanced by its activity in the federal funds market and by its core deposits. Neither the Company, nor its subsidiaries are active in the debt market. The traditional funding source for the Company’s subsidiary banks has been core deposits. The Company has not issued any debt since 1993 when $25 million of medium-term notes were issued to fund bank acquisitions. These notes are rated A3 by Moody’s Investor Service and A- by Standard and Poors. Based upon regular contact with investment banking firms, management is confident in its ability to raise debt or equity capital on favorable terms, should the need arise.

The Company also has other commercial commitments that may impact liquidity. These commitments include unused commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and financial guarantees, and commercial letters of credit. The total amount of these commercial commitments at March 31, 2003 was $1.8 billion. Since many of these commitments expire without being drawn upon, the total amount of these commercial commitments does not necessarily represent the future cash requirements of the Company.

 

The Company’s cash requirements consist primarily of dividends to shareholders, debt service and treasury stock purchases. Management fees and dividends received from subsidiary banks traditionally have been sufficient to satisfy these requirements and are expected to be in the future. The Company’s subsidiary banks are subject to various rules regarding payment of dividends to the Company. For the most part, all banks can pay dividends at least equal to their current year’s earnings without seeking prior regulatory approval. From time to time, approvals have been requested to allow a subsidiary bank to pay a dividend in excess of its current earnings. All such requests have been approved.

 

Operational Risk

 

The Company is exposed to numerous types of operational risk. Operational risk generally refers to the risk of loss resulting from the Company’s operations, including, but not limited to: the risk of fraud by employees or persons outside the Company; the execution of unauthorized transactions by employees or others; errors relating to transaction processing and systems; and, breaches of the internal control system and compliance requirements. This risk of loss also includes the potential legal or regulatory actions that could arise as a result of an operational deficiency, or as a result of noncompliance with applicable regulatory standards. Included in the legal and regulatory issues with which the Company must comply are a number of recently imposed rules resulting from the enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

 

The Company operates in many markets and places reliance on the ability of its employees and systems to properly process a high number of transactions. In the event of a breakdown in the internal control systems, improper operation of systems or improper employee actions, the Company could suffer financial loss, face regulatory action and suffer damage to its reputation. In order to address this risk, management maintains a system of internal controls with the objective of providing proper transaction authorization and execution, safeguarding of assets from misuse or theft, and ensuring the reliability of financial and other data.

 

The Company maintains systems of controls that provide management with timely and accurate information about the Company’s operations. These systems have been designed to manage operational risk at appropriate levels given the Company’s financial strength, the environment in which it operates, and considering factors such as competition and regulation. The Company has also established procedures that are designed to ensure that policies relating to conduct, ethics and business practices are followed on a uniform basis. In certain cases, the Company has experienced losses from operational risk. Such losses have included the effects of operational errors that the Company has discovered and included as expense in the statement of income. While there can be no assurance that the Company will not suffer such losses in the future, management continually monitors and improves its internal controls, systems and corporate-wide processes and procedures. Furthermore, management believes the plans to streamline the organization through, further systems integration and policies enacted to push down reporting accountabilities further in the organization have improved the Company’s ability to identify and limit operational risk.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Within the 90-day period immediately preceding the filing of this Report, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer has each evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s “Disclosure Controls and Procedures” and believes as of the date of evaluation, that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are reasonably designed to be effective for the purposes for which they are intended. As such term is used above, the Company’s Disclosure Controls and Procedures are controls and other procedures of the Company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Security Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure Controls and Procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in such reports is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

There were no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect such controls subsequent to the date that the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer conducted their evaluations of the Disclosure Controls and Procedures, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.

 

While the Company believes that its existing disclosure controls and procedures have been effective to accomplish the Company’s objectives, the Company intends to continue to examine, refine, and formalize its disclaimer and procedures and the monitor ongoing developments in this area.
