Northwest Bancshares, Inc. Announces 76% Increase in
Annual Earnings and Dividend Declaration

Warren, Pennsylvania – January 25, 2011

Northwest Bancshares, Inc. (NasdaqGS: NWBI) announced net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2010 of $12.7 million, or $0.12 per diluted share.  This represents an increase of $11.7 million over the same quarter last year when net income was $1.0 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, and a decrease of $2.8 million compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2010 when net income was $15.5 million, or $0.14 per diluted share.  The annualized returns on average shareholders’ equity and average assets for the current quarter were 3.90% and 0.63% compared to 0.46% and 0.05% for the same quarter last year and 4.72% and 0.76% for the quarter ended September 30, 2010.

The Company also announced that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per share payable on February 17, 2011, to shareholders of record as of February 4, 2011.  This represents the 65th consecutive quarter in which the Company has paid a cash dividend.

In making this announcement, William J. Wagner, President and CEO, noted, “We are pleased to report record annual earnings of $57.5 million during a year when the banking industry continued to be challenged by economic and regulatory issues.  Our core earnings for the year increased approximately 32% over the previous year while we grew our loan portfolio by 4.4% and our deposits by 2.5%.  Most notably, our checking deposits grew by $102.4 million, or 8.2%.  Given the significant strength of our current capital position, we initiated our previously-announced common stock repurchase program on December 20, 2010, and prior to the end of the year purchased 555,000 shares, at an average purchase price of $11.69.  Following the completion of these repurchases, our tangible common equity ratio was 14.2%, and all capital ratios were far in excess of regulatory requirements.”

Net interest income increased by $9.2 million, or 15.8%, to $67.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2010, from $58.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2009, which was primarily attributable to an increase in interest income from loans receivable and a decrease in the cost of deposits.  Interest income on loans receivable increased by $2.8 million, or 3.5%, to $83.1 million as the Company’s average loans outstanding increased by $323.2 million, or 6.2%.  Interest expense on deposits decreased by $5.8 million, or 25.5%, to $17.0 million as a result of a decrease in market interest rates and continued improvement in the mix of deposits as lower-cost transaction accounts growing more rapidly than other types of deposits.

 
 

 

The provision for loan losses decreased by $582,000, or 4.0%, to $13.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2010, from $14.5 million a year ago.  As of December 31, 2010, the allowance for loan losses was $76.4 million, or 1.38% of total loans, compared to $70.4 million, or 1.33% of total loans, as of December 31, 2009.  Loans 90 days or more delinquent were $100.4 million as of December 31, 2010, compared to $109.8 million as of December 31, 2009.  The ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets increased to 2.08%, from 1.81% at the beginning of the year, as the Company was more aggressive in placing troubled, but current, loans on nonaccrual.

Noninterest income decreased by $2.1 million, or 12.3%, to $15.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2010, from $17.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2009.  This decrease was primarily attributable to a $3.5 million bargain purchase gain recorded in the quarter ended December 31, 2009 related to the acquisition of Keystone State Savings Bank.  Partially offsetting this decrease were increases in mortgage banking income and insurance commission income.  Mortgage banking income increased by $431,000, or 43.4%, to $1.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2010, from $992,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 resulting from more favorable pricing in the secondary market.  Insurance commission income increased by $743,000, or 120.0%, to $1.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2010, from $619,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 due to the acquisition of Veracity Benefits Design, Inc., an employee benefits firm specializing in services to employer and employee groups.

Noninterest expense decreased by $13.5 million, or 21.1%, to $50.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2010, from $64.2 million in the prior year.  This decrease is primarily due to a $13.8 million non-recurring contribution expense recognized during the quarter ended December 31, 2009 related to the establishment of a charitable foundation in conjunction with our second-step common stock offering.  Partially offsetting this decrease were increases in premises and occupancy costs and processing expenses relating to the growth of the company.  Premises and occupancy costs increased by $233,000, or 4.3%, to $5.7 million of the quarter ended December 31, 2010, from $5.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2009.  Processing expenses increased by $212,000, or 3.6%, to $6.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2010, from $5.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2009.

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2010 of $57.5 million, or $0.53 per diluted share, represents an increase of $24.8 million, or 76.2% compared to net income of $32.7 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2009.  The annualized returns on average shareholders’ equity and average assets were 4.40% and 0.71%, respectively, for the current year compared to 4.71% and 0.46%, respectively, in the prior year.  Year over year, net interest income increased by $29.0 million, or 12.7%, noninterest income increased by $7.6 million, or 14.2%, and noninterest expense decreased by $4.0 million, or 2.0%.

 
 

 

The Company also announced that its Board of Directors authorized the closing of its three offices in the south Florida market, which have combined deposits of $59.0 million and loans of $106.1 million.  The offices will be closed in 2011, but the timing of the closings has not been determined.
