REPORTS STRONG FIRST QUARTER PERFORMANCE
|
Jasper, Indiana – April 28, 2011 -- German American Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: GABC) reported today that its first quarter earnings represented another period of strong financial performance. The Company’s first quarter net income was $4,645,000, or $0.37 per share, which was inclusive of the acquisition of American Community Bancorp, Inc., and its banking subsidiary, the Bank of Evansville, as of January 1, 2011. This represented a significant increase from the $3,251,000, or $0.29 per share, recorded during the same quarter last year and from the $3,152,000, or $0.28 per share, reported during the fourth quarter of last year. The current quarter earnings of $0.37 per share represented an increase of approximately 28% and 32%, respectively, over the per share earnings reported in the same quarter and fourth quarter of the prior year.
Adjusting the Company’s actual net income to exclude the after-tax results of acquisition accounting/transaction related items and operating earnings associated with the Bank of Evansville, the Company’s first quarter earnings derived from its legacy operations were approximately $3,854,000. This level of adjusted net income, which equates to $0.35 per share based on the average number of shares outstanding exclusive of those shares issued in connection with the merger transaction, represents approximately a 20% improvement over the reported net income in the same quarter and fourth quarter of last year.
The Company’s first quarter earnings were positively impacted by a $3.5 million increased level of net interest income as compared to the first quarter of last year. The current year net interest income improvement was largely the result of a higher level of earning assets driven by growth in the Company’s deposit base and the Bank of Evansville acquisition. The Company experienced strong deposit growth during the quarter with approximately $320 million of acquired deposits from the Bank of Evansville transaction and $79 million of organic growth from the Company’s existing branch network. On an annualized basis, the $79 million in organic deposit growth represented a 29% increase from the Company’s year-end balances.
Revenue from non-interest income sources was also a positive contributor to first quarter earnings in the current year increasing by $1.4 million over that recorded in the same quarter in the prior year. Insurance revenues, driven by a higher level of contingency revenue, increased by $363,000, or approximately 22% above the level recorded in the first quarter of last year. Trust and investment product fees during the first quarter continued the recent trend of improvement increasing by $73,000, or approximately 19%, from the revenue recorded during the first quarter of the prior year.
Non-interest revenue during the first quarter of this year was also positively impacted by a net gain on securities of approximately $1.0 million related to the acquisition accounting treatment of the Company’s existing equity ownership position at the time of acquisition in American Community Bancorp, Inc., as well as a $151,000 increase from the first quarter of the prior year in the level of company owned life insurance revenue and a $91,000 increase in net gains on sales of loans.
Somewhat offsetting this enhanced revenue, the Company’s total non-interest expenses increased by approximately $3.6 million, much of which was attributable to expenses associated with acquisition of American Community Bancorp, Inc., and its banking subsidiary, Bank of Evansville, and the continuing operations of the Bank of Evansville during the first quarter of this year.
Mark A. Schroeder, Chairman & CEO of German American, commenting on the Company’s posting of another quarter of strong financial performance stated, “We are very pleased with our performance during the first quarter of 2011, both in terms of the positive earnings contribution generated by our acquisition of the Bank of Evansville and by a continuation of our trend of exceptional financial performance from our existing operations. Our deposit growth throughout our footprint has been extremely robust as consumers, businesses, and municipalities are, in increasing numbers, looking to German American as a source of strength and stability for their investable funds. This growing deposit base will represent a significant source of funding for our loan portfolio in future months when the economy is expected to continue to strengthen and demand from borrowing customers is anticipated to increase in a corresponding manner.”
Schroeder continued, “We have also seen a strong resurgence in recent months in our non-banking lines of business within insurance, investment, and trust services. In each of these three important areas of our operations, we have seen existing clients increase their level of activity and have also experienced an increase in the number of new and prospective clients who have moved or expressed an interest in moving their business to German American. Earlier this month, we enhanced our trust staff with the recruitment of a team of six experienced trust professionals from the Evansville market who will focus on growing our trust presence in this important new market area. Additionally, we successfully completed the transition of the Bank of Evansville’s customer information files to our core processing system earlier this month which will facilitate our marketing of our products and services within the Evansville market under the German American name and brand. We are very pleased with the Evansville market’s acceptance of German American, and are excited about the opportunities this new market area will offer us, not only within banking but also relative to the expansion of our insurance, investment, and trust lines of business.”
The Company also announced that its Board of Directors declared its regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.14 per share which will be payable on May 20, 2011 to shareholders of record as of May 10, 2011.
Balance Sheet Highlights
Total assets for the Company increased by approximately $385.8 million to $1.762 billion as of March 31, 2011 compared with year-end 2010. The increase was attributable to both the acquisition of American Community Bancorp, Inc. (“American Community”) and its banking subsidiary Bank of Evansville effective January 1, 2011 and to an increase in the Company’s core deposit base originated from its banking offices other than the new Bank of Evansville offices. American Community’s total assets as of the effective date of the merger totaled approximately $340.3 million.
The Company’s investment portfolio increased by approximately $124.1 million to $472.4 during the first quarter of 2011. The investment portfolio growth was driven in large part by continued growth in the Company’s core deposit base both from its existing market areas and from the Bank of Evansville.
March 31, 2011 loans outstanding increased approximately $179.0 million compared with year-end 2010. The loans acquired from American Community totaled approximately $207.4 million as of March 31, 2011 thus accounting for all of the loan growth for the Company for the first quarter of 2011. The Company’s loan portfolio as constituted at December 31, 2010 (prior to the acquisition of American Community) declined by approximately $28.4 million which was largely attributable to a seasonal decline in the agricultural loan portfolio.

Non-performing assets totaled $22.4 million at March 31, 2011 compared to $13.3 million of non-performing assets at December 31, 2010. Non-performing assets represented 1.27% of total assets at March 31, 2011 compared to 0.97% at year-end 2010. Non-performing loans totaled $18.9 million at March 31, 2011 compared to $11.2 million of non-performing loans at December 31, 2010. Non-performing loans represented 1.73% of total outstanding loans at March 31, 2011 compared with 1.22% of total loans outstanding at year-end 2010. The increase in non-performing loans attributable to the acquisition of American Community totaled $2.2 million at March 31, 2011. The remainder of the increase was attributable to two commercial credit relationships. One relationship was acquired as a part of the branch acquisition the Company completed during the second quarter of 2010. This credit is related to the operation of two restaurants and totaled $3.9 million at quarter-end. The second relationship is a commercial real estate participation loan secured by a convenience store that totaled $2.4 million at quarter end March 31, 2011.
The Company’s allowance for loan losses totaled $14.2 million at March 31, 2011 representing an increase of $856,000 or 26% on an annualized basis from year-end 2010. The allowance for loan losses represented 1.29% of period-end loans at March 31, 2011 compared with 1.45% at December 31, 2010. The decline in the allowance for loan loss as a percent of total loans was the result of the acquisition accounting treatment for allowance for loan losses attributable to the acquisition of American Community. Under acquisition accounting treatment, loans are recorded at fair value which includes a credit risk component, and therefore the allowance on loans acquired is not carried over from the seller. As of March 31, 2011, the Company held a discount on acquired loans of $9.0 million which includes loans acquired in the American Community acquisition and loans acquired in a branch acquisition completed in the second quarter of 2010.
March 31, 2011 deposits increased $397.7 million to $1.485 billion compared with year-end 2010 total deposits. The deposits acquired as a part of American Community totaled $318.9 million at March 31, 2011. Deposits from the Company’s branch bank network as constituted on December 31, 2010 (prior to the American Community acquisition) increased $79.0 million or approximately 29% on an annualized basis during the first quarter of 2011.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2011, net interest income totaled $15,107,000 representing an increase of $2,477,000 from the quarter ended December 31, 2010 net interest income of $12,630,000 and an increase of $3,458,000 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2010 net interest income of $11,649,000. The tax equivalent net interest margin for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 was 3.83% compared to 3.90% in the fourth quarter 2010 and 4.10% in the first quarter 2010. The increased net interest income was largely the result of a higher level of earning assets largely driven by growth in the Company’s core deposit base and the acquisition of American Community. The decline in net interest margin in attributable to the continued growth in core deposits and reinvestment into securities in a period of historically low interest rates.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2011, non-interest income totaled $6,014,000, an increase of $1,874,000 compared with the quarter ended December 31, 2010, and an increase of $1,435,000 compared with the first quarter of 2010. During the first quarter of 2011, non-interest income attributable to the Bank of Evansville operations totaled approximately $211,000 and other acquisition accounting items related to the acquisition of American Community totaled $1,045,000.

Deposit service charges and fees continue to be impacted by decreased customer utilization of the Company’s overdraft protection program and by changes implemented in the program during the third quarter of 2010 related to Regulation E.
Insurance revenues during the first quarter of 2011 were significantly increased as a result of contingency revenue as compared with the fourth quarter of 2010 and the first quarter of 2010. Contingency revenue totaled $784,000 in the first quarter of 2011 compared with no contingency revenue in the fourth quarter of 2010 and $331,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 2010.
Other operating income increased $69,000 or 10% during the quarter ended March 31, 2011 compared with the fourth quarter of 2010 and declined $283,000 or 27% compared with the first quarter of 2010. The decline in the first quarter of 2011 compared with the first quarter of 2010 was related to a net gain on the sale of a single other real estate property during 2010.
The Company realized a net gain on securities of $1,045,000 during the first quarter of 2011 related to the acquisition accounting treatment of the existing equity ownership position the Company held in American Community at the time of acquisition.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2011, non-interest expense totaled $13,870,000, an increase of $3,118,000 compared with the quarter ended December 31, 2010, and an increase of $3,604,000 compared with the first quarter of 2010. During the first quarter of 2011, non-interest expense attributable to the Bank of Evansville operations totaled approximately $1,530,000 and other acquisition accounting items related to the acquisition of American Community totaled $1,604,000, including approximately $1,257,000 of non-recurring expense items.
Salaries and benefits increased approximately 28% during the first quarter of 2011 compared with the fourth quarter of 2010 and approximately 33% compared with the first quarter of 2010. The increase during both periods was primarily attributable to the acquisition of American Community. The increase in occupancy, furniture and equipment expense was also primarily related to the acquisition and the costs associated with three additional branch locations.
The Company’s FDIC deposit insurance assessments increased 25% in the first quarter of 2011 compared with the fourth quarter of 2010 and 46% compared with the first quarter of 2010. The increase was largely related to the increase in the size of the Company resulting from the acquisition of American Community and to a lesser degree an increased deposit base resulting from core organic deposit growth unrelated to the acquisition.
Intangible amortization increased $346,000 or 202% during the first quarter of 2011 compared with the fourth quarter of 2010 and $299,000 or 137% compared with the first quarter of 2010. The increase in both periods was primarily related to amortization of core deposit intangible resulting from the acquisition of American Community.
Regulation G Disclosure
This press release includes the following non-GAAP financial measures for the first quarter of 2011 (reconciled by the tables below) that are designed to show the portion of the Company’s actual net income for that quarter that was derived from its “legacy operations” (by which the Company means its operations as they were constituted as of December 31, 2010 before the acquisition of American Community) and the per share amount of such legacy operations net income for that quarter computed on the basis of the smaller number of average shares outstanding that results from excluding the Company’s common shares that were actually issued January 1, 2011 to the former American Community shareholders. This non-GAAP financial information should be considered supplemental to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures of the Company’s actual net income (and net income per share) for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, that is calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (commonly referred to as GAAP). However, we believe that this non-GAAP reporting, giving effect to the adjustments shown in the reconciliations provided below, provides meaningful information concerning the extent to which our net income (and net income per share) might have varied during the three months ended March 31, 2011, had we not acquired Bank of Evansville and its parent company effective January 1, 2011, and provides a useful basis for comparison to our actual net income (and net income per share) recorded for the first and fourth quarters of 2010 for comparable legacy operations. We are therefore using the non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release to supplement our GAAP information. We have chosen to provide this supplemental information to investors, analysts and other interested parties to enable them to perform additional analyses of operating results, to illustrate the results of operations giving effect to the non-GAAP adjustments shown in the reconciliations and to provide an additional measure of performance.
As a result of the acquisition of American Community Bancorp, Inc., and its subsidiary Bank of Evansville effective January 1, 2011, the Company recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2011 both (a) net operating earnings from the Bank of Evansville and (b) net earnings from acquisition accounting and transaction related items. While the Company believes the operating earnings related to the Bank of Evansville and a portion of the acquisition accounting related earnings are likely to continue in future periods, the Company believes that excluding the after-tax effects of this increased level of earnings during the first quarter of 2011 (and presenting adjusted net income per share figures on the basis of such adjusted earnings by dividing the adjusting net income by the average number of common shares of the Company that would have been outstanding during such quarterly period had the additional common shares issued in the Bank of Evansville acquisition not been issued) will provide investors with a meaningful basis to compare the Company’s operating results in the first quarter of 2011 for its operations other than the former operations of Bank of Evansville to the Company’s net income for the fourth quarter of 2010 and for the first quarter of 2010 (neither of which included Bank of Evansville or the shares issued in connection with the American Community acquisition).

Readers are cautioned that, by their nature, forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors. Actual results and experience could differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including but not limited to, those discussed in the press release. Factors that could cause actual experience to differ from the expectations implied in this press release include the unknown future direction of interest rates and the timing and magnitude of any changes in interest rates; changes in competitive conditions; the introduction, withdrawal, success and timing of asset/liability management strategies or of mergers and acquisitions and other business initiatives and strategies; changes in customer borrowing, repayment, investment and deposit practices; changes in fiscal, monetary and tax policies; changes in financial and capital markets; deterioration in general economic conditions, either nationally or locally, resulting in, among other things, credit quality deterioration; capital management activities, including possible future sales of new securities, or possible repurchases or redemptions by the Company of outstanding debt or equity securities; risks of expansion through acquisitions and mergers, such as unexpected credit quality problems of the acquired loans or other assets, unexpected attrition of the customer base of the acquired institution or branches, and difficulties in integration of the acquired operations; factors driving impairment charges on investments; the impact, extent and timing of technological changes; litigation liabilities, including related costs, expenses, settlements and judgments, or the outcome of matters before regulatory agencies, whether pending or commencing in the future; actions of the Federal Reserve Board; changes in accounting principles and interpretations; potential increases of federal deposit insurance premium expense, and possible future special assessments of FDIC premiums, either industry wide or specific to the Company’s banking subsidiary; actions of the regulatory authorities under the Dodd-Frank Act and the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and other possible legislative and regulatory actions and reforms; and the continued availability of earnings and excess capital sufficient for the lawful and prudent declaration and payment of cash dividends.
