PEOPLES BANCORP INC. REPORTS RECORD
1ST QUARTER 2012 EARNINGS OF $0.63 PER SHARE
_____________________________________________________________________

MARIETTA, Ohio - Peoples Bancorp Inc. (“Peoples”) (NASDAQ: PEBO) today announced results for the quarter ended March 31, 2012. Net income totaled $6.7 million for the first quarter of 2012, representing earnings per diluted common share of $0.63. In comparison, earnings per diluted common share were $0.33 and $0.13 for the fourth and first quarters of 2011, respectively. The increase in earnings during the first quarter of 2012 was the result of a $2.1 million recovery of loan losses, plus other significant improvements in Peoples' core operations.
Summary points regarding first quarter 2012 results:
Pre-provision net revenue of $7.5 million was 3% higher than a year ago, as total revenue increased while operating expenses were controlled. On a linked quarter basis, pre-provision net revenue improved substantially as first quarter 2012 benefited from $0.9 million of annual insurance revenue plus lower operating expenses attributable to cost saving initiatives implemented in 2011.
Total criticized loans, which are those classified as watch, substandard or doubtful, decreased $24 million, or 17%, since year-end 2011, while total nonperforming loans decreased $10 million, or 32%. These reductions primarily reflect the payoff of two substandard loans during the quarter. Other real estate owned ("OREO") also benefited from the sale of a single commercial property. As a result, total nonperforming assets as a percentage of gross loans and OREO was 2.25% versus 3.41% at December 31, 2011, and 3.85% a year ago.
Net charge-offs were 0.14% of average loans on an annualized basis, versus 0.43% in the linked quarter and 3.21% a year ago. Due to the continued improvement in asset quality, the allowance for loan losses was lowered to 2.25% of total loans at March 31, 2012, from 2.53% at year-end 2011 and 2.58% at March 31, 2011.
Total revenue, which is net interest income plus non-interest income, was 3% higher than the prior year, driven mostly by stronger fee-based revenues. Net interest income was consistent with the prior year, despite lower average loan balances. Compared to the linked quarter, total revenue benefited the recognition of annual performance-based insurance revenue, which more than offset declines in net interest income and deposit service charges.
Total non-interest expense was down 9% from the linked quarter due to cost saving initiatives implemented in 2011. Year-over-year, total non-interest expense increased 3%, due almost entirely to higher employee benefit costs as other operating costs were either comparable to or lower than the prior year quarter.
Total period-end loan balances grew $6 million during the first quarter, as commercial production remained strong but was tempered by the two substandard loan payoffs.
Retail deposit balances experienced 18% annualized growth split evenly between interest-bearing and non-interest-bearing deposits. A portion of the higher balances was the result of normal seasonal fluctuations in consumer and governmental deposit balances. Non-interest-bearing deposits grew to 20.0% of total retail deposits versus 18.6% at year-end 2011.
"We are pleased to report record earnings for the quarter and solid progress towards achieving our strategic 2012 goals,” said Chuck Sulerzyski, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Bottom-line earnings growth occurred due to a

1



mix of improved performance in key areas and the sizable reserve release. We also strengthened our core revenue stream by generating positive operating leverage in the first quarter. Other first quarter successes included increased loan balances and double-digit deposit growth. Asset quality trends also remained favorable for another consecutive quarter."
Net interest income was $13.4 million for the first quarter of 2012, comparable to the prior year quarter and modestly lower than linked quarter. Interest income continued to be negatively impacted by lower average loan balances, plus declining asset yields as a result of the low interest rate environment. Interest expense benefited from ongoing efforts to reduce funding costs by replacing higher-cost funds with low-cost core deposits. First quarter 2012 net interest margin was 3.41%, versus 3.49% and 3.43% for the linked and prior year quarters, respectively. Downward pressure on asset yields was the primary reason for the lower net interest margin. A significant contributing factor to the linked quarter decline in net interest income and margin was $215,000, or 5 basis points of margin, in additional investment accretion income recognized in the fourth quarter of 2011 due to the accelerated payoff of a single collateral mortgage-obligation security.
In the first quarter of 2012, Peoples prepaid $35 million of wholesale borrowings using short-term funds, which resulted in prepayment charges of $3.1 million. These borrowings had an average cost of 3.09% and consisted of both term repurchase agreements and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank. The impact of the prepayment charges on first quarter earnings was offset by $3.2 million in gains from the sale of $60.5 million in investment securities. The securities sold were primarily mortgage-backed securities issued by U.S. government-sponsored agencies. The proceeds of these investment sales were reinvested into other securities with similar duration and yield.
"Net interest income and margin were relatively stable in the first quarter despite the additional investment income recognized in the fourth quarter," said Edward G. Sloane, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer. “During the first quarter, the last of our high-cost CDs matured, which provided some offset to the downward pressure on our asset yields. However, average loan balances still lagged the linked and prior year quarters, despite modest period-over-period growth in balances. For the remainder of 2012, the first quarter debt restructuring will result in a reduction in interest expense equal to approximately 6 basis points of margin. Our ability to sustain this improvement in net interest margin will depend on meaningful loan growth occurring and continued disciplined balance sheet management and pricing."
Non-interest income totaled $9.1 million for quarter ended March 31, 2012, up 8% over the prior year quarter and up 10% on a linked quarter basis. The year-over-year improvement was due to strong revenue generation in nearly every major category. The linked quarter growth was driven mostly by recognition of annual performance-based insurance revenues, as a normal seasonal decline in deposit service charges offset higher revenue generated from trust, insurance and investment sales and debit card usage by customers.
During the first quarter of 2012, Peoples recognized $919,000 of performance-based insurance revenues versus $943,000 a year ago. The majority of these revenues are earned annually in the first quarter; thus, no such revenue was recognized in the fourth quarter of 2011. Peoples' other insurance revenues benefited from increases in premiums occurring within the industry. Trust and investment income grew 13% over the prior year first quarter and 5% from the linked quarter. These increases occurred as a result of growth in managed assets due to Peoples adding experienced sales professionals in previously under-served markets during the second half of 2011. Electronic banking income has remained a strong revenue contributor for Peoples, with increases of 22% and 12% in the first quarter of 2012, compared to the prior year and linked quarters, respectively. First quarter 2012 mortgage banking income, while significantly higher than the prior year quarter, was down from the linked quarter, with the variances reflecting the change in refinancing activity. Deposit service charges, although down on a linked quarter basis due to normal fluctuations in overdraft fees, continue to benefit from the new deposit products introduced during the first quarter of 2011.
Total non-interest expense was $15.0 million, 3% higher than the prior year quarter but 9% lower than the linked quarter. Most of the year-over-year increase was due to increased sales and incentive compensation costs, corresponding with the stronger first quarter results. Partially offsetting these additional costs was significantly lower FDIC insurance costs resulting from the change in assessment methodology during 2011. The linked quarter decline primarily reflects the actions taken in the second half of 2011 to right-size staffing levels and improve overall operating efficiency. At March 31, 2012, Peoples had 499 full-time equivalent employees versus 513 at year-end 2011 and 543 at March 31, 2011. While staffing reductions drove much of the decrease in salary and employee benefit costs, Peoples also benefited from the non-recurrence of pension settlement charges in the first quarter, as $407,000 in settlement charges were incurred in the fourth quarter of 2011. First quarter 2012 expenses also included a $100,000 contribution to Peoples' private foundation. No contributions were made in the first half of 2011, while contributions of $100,000 and $200,000 were made in the final two quarters of 2011, respectively.
"A major focus for 2012 is generating positive operating leverage," said Sloane. "In the first quarter, we made good progress towards this goal due mostly to the strength of our fee-based revenues and renewed commitment to prudent expense management. Our cost reduction initiatives became fully phased-in during the first quarter of 2012. As a result, we expect operating expenses for remaining quarters of 2012 to be comparable to, if not lower than, the first quarter as

2



some of the savings will be reinvested to the extent revenue growth goals are achieved."
During the first quarter, period-end portfolio loan balances increased $5.6 million, to $944.1 million at March 31, 2012. This growth occurred as a result of commercial lending opportunities within Peoples' market area. First quarter 2012 loan growth was tempered by the payoff of two unrelated nonperforming commercial real estate loans totaling $8.1 million. Peoples also continued to experience steady growth in its residential mortgage lending activity as consumers take advantage of historically low fixed rates. Much of the new production was sold to the secondary market due to the associated interest rate risk. As a result, Peoples' serviced loan portfolio grew to $281.0 million at March 31, 2012, versus $258.7 million a year ago.
“We are encouraged by higher period-end loan balances versus year-end given the increased competition and the reduction in nonperforming loans,” said Sulerzyski. “We are pleased with the ability to resolve two significant problem loans during the quarter. While these efforts partially offset the impact of new production during the quarter, the removal of these loans from the balance sheet improves asset quality and avoids the costs associated with a prolonged workout process. For the remainder of 2012, our outlook for loan growth remains positive as our pipeline remains strong.”
At March 31, 2012, the amount of loans classified as watch, substandard or doubtful was down $24.3 million, or 17%, since year-end 2011. In addition to the previously mentioned resolution of two nonperforming loans, Peoples sold a large commercial property held as OREO. The combined impact of these events was a 34% reduction in total nonperforming assets. As a result, total nonperforming assets were 2.25% of total loans plus OREO at March 31, 2012, versus 3.41% at December 31, 2011. This improvement in asset quality occurred without Peoples incurring any additional significant losses. First quarter 2012 net charge-offs were $331,000 or 0.14% of average loans on an annualized basis, compared to $1.0 million, or 0.43%, and $7.6 million, or 3.21%, for the fourth and first quarters of 2011, respectively.
Peoples' allowance for loan losses was $21.2 million, or 2.25% of gross loans, at March 31, 2012, down from $23.7 million, or 2.53%, at December 31, 2011. This reduction corresponds with the decrease in substandard-rated loans, coupled with the sustained period of lower net charge-offs, and resulted in a $2.1 million net recovery in respect of loan losses for the first quarter of 2012. In comparison, Peoples recorded a $0.5 million net recovery in respect of loan losses in the fourth quarter of 2011, which was more than offset by a net loss of $0.9 million on OREO, and a provision for loan losses of $5.3 million recorded for the first quarter of 2011.
“Our asset quality continues to improve while net charge-offs remained below 50 basis points of loans for the third consecutive quarter,” commented Sloane. “These two factors were the driving force behind the substantial decrease in our allowance for loan losses during the first quarter of 2012. We remain cautiously optimistic the recent favorable asset quality trends will be sustained in future quarters. The extent to which any additional reserves are released during 2012 will continue to depend on our credit metrics and the factors affecting loan losses.”
Retail deposit balances grew at an annualized rate of 18% in the first quarter of 2012. Non-interest-bearing balances were up $28.6 million to $268.4 million at March 31, 2012, driven by seasonal growth in consumer balances, coupled with increased commercial balances. Interest-bearing retail deposits were $28.8 million higher at quarter-end versus December 31, 2011. This 11% annualized growth occurred as seasonal increases in governmental and savings deposits were partially offset by reductions in retail certificates of deposit ("CD") and money market balances. The higher governmental balances reflected the impact of annual tax collections being deposited by local municipalities. The decreased CD and money market balances were the result of Peoples' funding strategy of emphasizing low-cost deposits and reduced reliance on high-cost funding sources.
"Overall, first quarter results reflected the benefits of actions taken last year to improve performance in every area of our business," summarized Sulerzyski. "Our outlook for 2012 remains positive as we work to build on recent successes and capitalize on growth opportunities that exist within our market area. We are confident our efforts will restore Peoples to being a steady, dependable performer."
