Fourth Quarter and Year 2010 Highlights

v  
CTBI completed the acquisition of LaFollette First National Corporation and First National Bank of LaFollette, the wholly-owned subsidiary of LaFollette Corporation (“LaFollette”), on November 17, 2010.

v  
CTBI's quarterly basic earnings per share increased $0.15 per share from fourth quarter 2009 and $0.06 per share from third quarter 2010.  Basic earnings per share for the year 2010 increased $0.51 per share from prior year.  Earnings for the year 2010 were positively impacted by increased net interest income and decreased provision for loan loss, partially offset by decreased noninterest income and increased noninterest expense.  The acquisition of LaFollette increased earnings by $0.02 per basic share.

v  
CTBI experienced significant improvement in our net interest margin year over year increasing from 3.77% for the year ended December 31, 2009 to 4.07% for the year ended December 31, 2010 as deposit expense decreased significantly.

v  
As problem loans continued to work through the collection process, nonperforming loans increased from the $41.3 million at December 31, 2009 and $56.6 million at September 30, 2010 to $61.9 million at December 31, 2010.  December 31, 2010 information includes $2.1 million in nonperforming loans for First National Bank of LaFollette.  The linked quarter increase in nonperforming loans was in the nonaccrual classification.  Nonperforming assets increased $26.1 million from prior year fourth quarter and $7.1 million from prior quarter-end.

v  
The loan loss provision for the quarter decreased $1.2 million from prior year same quarter but increased $0.3 million from prior quarter.  The loan loss provision for the year ended December 31, 2010 decreased $1.0 million from prior year.
 
 
v  
Net loan charge-offs for the quarter ended December 31, 2010 of $3.4 million, or 0.54% of average loans annualized, was a decrease from the $4.5 million, or 0.73%, experienced for the fourth quarter 2009 and from prior quarter’s $5.6 million, or 0.91%.  Net loan charge-offs for the year 2010 decreased from $15.6 million for the year 2009 to $14.3 million for the year 2010.

v  
Our loan loss reserve as a percentage of total loans outstanding at December 31, 2010 was 1.34% compared to 1.34% at December 31, 2009 and 1.40% at September 30, 2010.  Generally accepted accounting principles require that expected credit losses associated with loans obtained in an acquisition be reflected in the estimation of loan fair value as of the acquisition date and prohibits any carryover of an allowance for credit losses.  Excluding amounts related to loans obtained in the fourth quarter 2010 acquisition of LaFollette, the allowance-to-legacy loan ratio was 1.40% and 1.34%, respectively, at December 31, 2010 and 2009, and 1.40% at September 30, 2010.
 
 
v  
Noninterest income increased for the quarter ended December 31, 2010 compared to same period 2009 and prior quarter as a result of a $0.4 million increase in the fair value of our mortgage servicing rights during the fourth quarter 2010.  Noninterest income for the year 2010 decreased $0.5 million from prior year due to declines in gains on sales of loans and the fair value of our mortgage servicing rights, partially offset by increases in trust and brokerage revenue and deposit service charges.

v  
Our loan portfolio increased $169.4 million year over year and $159.7 million during the quarter, including a $119.1 million increase resulting from the acquisition of LaFollette.
 
 
v  
Our investment portfolio increased $55.8 million from prior year and $6.4 million during the quarter, including the $29.2 million increase from the LaFollette acquisition.

v  
Our tangible common equity/tangible assets ratio remains strong at 8.27%.  The acquisition of LaFollette was an all cash transaction and decreased our tangible common equity/tangible assets ratio by 56 basis points.

Net Interest Income
 
CTBI saw improvement in its net interest margin of 30 basis points for the year 2010 and 9 basis points for the fourth quarter 2010 compared to 2009, and a 20 basis point improvement from prior quarter.  Net interest income for the quarter increased 9.3% from prior year fourth quarter and 6.4% from prior quarter with average earning assets increasing 7.0% and 1.5%, respectively, for the same periods.  The yield on average earning assets decreased 28 basis points from prior year fourth quarter but improved 5 basis points from prior quarter.  The cost of interest bearing funds decreased 46 basis points and 18 basis points, respectively, for the same periods.  The decrease in the cost of interest bearing funds was primarily the result of the repricing of our CD products which decreased 27 basis points during the quarter.  Net interest income for the year ended December 31, 2010 increased 13.0% from prior year.

Noninterest Income
 
Noninterest income for the quarter ended December 31, 2010 increased 5.3% and 4.2% from prior year fourth quarter and prior quarter, respectively.  The quarterly increase was primarily a result of a $0.4 million increase in the fair value of our mortgage servicing rights during the fourth quarter 2010.  Noninterest income for the year 2010 declined 1.2% from prior year.  The decrease in noninterest income was significantly impacted by decreased gains on sales of loans as 2009 was a period of significant refinancing of residential real estate loans, as well as a $0.8 million decline in the fair value of our mortgage servicing rights.  The decline in these noninterest income sources was partially offset by increases in trust and brokerage revenue and deposit service charges.

Noninterest Expense
 
Noninterest expense for the quarter increased 4.6% from prior year fourth quarter and 4.0% from prior quarter.  Noninterest expense for the year 2010 increased 2.4% from 2009 as increased personnel expenses were partially offset by a decrease in FDIC insurance premiums and special assessment.
 
Balance Sheet Review
 
CTBI’s total assets at $3.4 billion increased $269.2 million, or 8.7%, from the fourth quarter 2009 and $124.1 million, or 3.8%, during the quarter, including an increase of $193.7 million from the acquisition of LaFollette.  Loans outstanding at December 31, 2010 were $2.6 billion, increasing $169.4 million, or 7.0%, year over year and $159.7 million, or 6.5%, during the quarter, including a $119.1 million increase resulting from the acquisition of LaFollette.  Loan growth of $102.3 million in the commercial loan portfolio and $103.2 million in the residential loan portfolio was partially offset by a decline in the consumer loan portfolio of $36.1 million.  CTBI's investment portfolio increased $55.8 million, or 19.6%, from prior year and $6.4 million, or 1.9%, during the quarter, including the $29.2 million increase from LaFollette.  Deposits, including repurchase agreements, at $2.9 billion increased $251.7 million, or 9.5%, from December 31, 2009 and $130.9 million, or 4.7%, from prior quarter, including $174.5 million from the acquisition of LaFollette.
 
Shareholders’ equity at December 31, 2010 was $338.6 million compared to $321.5 million at December 31, 2009 and $336.8 million at September 30, 2010.  CTBI's annualized dividend yield to shareholders as of December 31, 2010 was 4.21%.
 
Asset Quality
 
CTBI's total nonperforming loans were $61.9 million at December 31, 2010, an increase from the $41.3 million at December 31, 2009 and the $56.6 million at September 30, 2010.  Nonperforming loans include an increase of $2.1 million from the acquisition of LaFollette.  The quarter over quarter increase in nonperforming loans is primarily attributable to three large commercial credits.  One is an automobile floor plan and two are motel loans.  Specific reserves of $2.9 million have been established for two of these loans.  Loans 30-89 days past due at $28.9 million increased from the $24.8 million at December 31, 2009 but declined from the $29.9 million from prior quarter, including a $3.7 million increase from the LaFollette acquisition.  Our loan portfolio management processes focus on the immediate identification, management, and resolution of problem loans to maximize recovery and minimize loss.
 
Our level of foreclosed properties increased to $42.9 million for the fourth quarter 2010 compared to $37.3 million at December 31, 2009 and $41.1 million at September 30, 2010.  The increase in foreclosed properties includes $2.8 million from the acquisition of LaFollette.  Sales of foreclosed properties for the year ended December 31, 2010 totaled $8.4 million while new foreclosed properties totaled $11.7 million.  Our nonperforming loans and foreclosed properties remain primarily concentrated in our Central Kentucky Region.
 
Net loan charge-offs for the quarter were $3.4 million, or 0.54% of average loans annualized, a decrease from prior year fourth quarter's $4.5 million or 0.73% and prior quarter’s $5.6 million or 0.91%.  Of the total net charge-offs for the quarter, $2.5 million was in commercial loans, $0.5 million was in indirect auto loans, and $0.04 million was in residential real estate mortgage loans.  Allocations to loan loss reserves were $4.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2010 compared to $5.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 and $3.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2010.  Our loan loss reserve as a percentage of total loans outstanding at December 31, 2010 was 1.34% compared to 1.34% at December 31, 2009 and 1.40% at September 30, 2010.  Generally accepted accounting principles require that expected credit losses associated with loans obtained in an acquisition be reflected in the estimation of loan fair value as of the acquisition date and prohibits any carryover of an allowance for credit losses.  Excluding amounts related to loans obtained in the fourth quarter 2010 acquisition of LaFollette, the allowance-to-legacy loan ratio was 1.40% and 1.34%, respectively, at December 31, 2010 and 2009, and 1.40% at September 30, 2010.
