Ronald M.

We are pleased to report that the Capital Bank merger is delivering as promised and our other business units also performed well."

Mr. Bentley continued, "Credit quality remained strong as the level of both classified and nonperforming loans declined from year-earlier levels. Excluding some performing but past due construction loans acquired in connection with the Capital Bank merger, the ratio of total nonperforming assets to total assets at year end was 0.53%, a level attesting to our solid and stable credit quality and a ratio better than most of our peers."

Summary:

Chemung Financial Corporation reported net income of $11.0 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012, an increase of $0.5 million, or 4.6%, compared with $10.5 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011. Earnings per share for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012, was $2.38 compared with $2.40 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011. Return on average assets and return on average equity for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012, were 0.88% and 8.41%, respectively, compared with 0.90% and 8.77%, respectively, for the prior year.

The improvement in 2012 earnings was due primarily to a $2.9 million increase in net interest income and a $2.2 million decrease in pre-tax one-time merger transaction costs, both related to the Capital Bank acquisition in April 2011. In addition, we recognized $0.8 million in pre-tax casualty gains from insurance reimbursements related to the September 2011 flooding of our Owego and Tioga offices. These items were partially offset by increases of $1.8 million in salaries and wages, $0.8 million in pension and other employee benefits, $0.5 million in data processing expenses, $0.5 million in professional services, $0.4 million in income taxes and a $0.8 million reduction in net gains on securities transactions.

Net income for the fourth quarter 2012 was $2.1 million compared with fourth quarter 2011 results of $3.0 million, a decrease of $0.9 million, or 28.1%. The decline was attributable to a decrease of $0.4 million in net interest income and an increase of $1.1 million in non-interest expense, partially offset by a reduction of $0.5 million in income taxes. Earnings per share for the current quarter totaled $0.46 compared with $0.64 for the same period in the prior year. Return on average assets and return on average equity for the current quarter were 0.67% and 6.33%, respectively, compared with 0.95% and 9.06%, respectively, for the fourth quarter of 2011.

Net income of $2.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2012, represents a decrease of $0.7 million, or 24.8%, from net income of $2.8 million for the preceding quarter ended September 30, 2012. The decline was primarily due to an increase of $1.2 million in non-interest expense, partially offset by a reduction of $0.4 million in income taxes. Earnings per share for the current quarter totaled $0.46 compared with $0.61 for the preceding quarter. Return on average assets and return on average equity for the current quarter were 0.67% and 6.33%, respectively, compared with 0.89% and 8.53%, respectively, for the preceding quarter.

Net Interest Income:

Net interest income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012, totaled $46.8 million compared with $43.8 million for the prior year, an increase of $3.0 million, or 6.7%. Net interest margin was 4.07% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012, level with the prior year. The increase in net interest income was primarily due to an increase in average earning assets. The increase in average earning assets was the result of the Capital Bank acquisition in April 2011, and organic growth during 2012 in the Albany region.

Net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2012 was $11.6 million compared with $12.0 million for the same quarter in the prior year, a decrease of $0.4 million, or 3.2%. Net interest margin declined to 3.98% for the current quarter from 4.19% for the same quarter in the prior year. The decline in net interest margin was primarily due to yields on interest-earning assets decreasing at a faster rate than the cost of interest-bearing liabilities. The decrease in yield on interest-earning assets was attributable to lower loan yields as loans continue to reprice at current market rates. 

Compared with the preceding quarter ended September 30, 2012, net interest income decreased by $0.1 million, primarily due to a six basis point decline in the net interest margin. The decrease in the net interest margin was primarily due to a 19 basis point decrease in the yield on loans.

Non-Interest Income:

Non-interest income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012, was $17.3 million compared with $17.5 million for the prior year, a decrease of $0.2 million, or 1.0%. The decline was primarily due to decreases of $0.8 million in net gain on securities transactions and $0.6 million in revenue from our equity investment in Cephas Capital Partners, L.P. These items were partially offset by $0.8 million in casualty gains from insurance reimbursements related to the September 2011 flooding of our Owego and Tioga offices and an increase of $0.3 million in net gain on sale of loans held for sale.

Non-interest income for the fourth quarter of 2012 was $4.2 million, a slight increase compared with both the preceding quarter and same quarter in the prior year, primarily due to an increase in net gain on sales of loans held for sale.

Non-Interest Expense:

Non-interest expense for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012, was $46.8 million compared with $44.8 million for the prior year, an increase of $2.0 million, or 4.6%. Excluding $2.2 million in merger related expenses from the prior year, non-interest expense increased $4.3 million, or 10.1%, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012. This increase was primarily due to increases of $1.8 million in salaries and wages, $0.8 million in pension and other employee benefits, $0.5 million in data processing expenses and $0.5 million in professional services. The increase in salaries and wages was primarily due to the operation of the Capital Bank division for twelve months during 2012 compared with nine months during 2011, and additional compensation related to merit increases and incentive compensation. The increase in pension and other employee benefits was primarily due to higher pension costs, health benefits and payroll taxes. The increase in data processing expenses was primarily due to higher hardware and software maintenance fees and check card processing costs that included conversion costs for a new processor. The increase in professional services was due primarily to consultant fees.

Non-interest expense for the fourth quarter of 2012 was $12.6 million compared with $11.5 million for the same quarter in the prior year, an increase of $1.1 million, or 9.7%. The increase was primarily due to increases of $0.6 million in salaries and wages and $0.5 million in professional services. The increase in salaries and wages was primarily due to an increase in employees and additional compensation related to merit increases and incentive compensation. The increase in professional services was due to the reason discussed above. Compared with the preceding quarter ended September 30, 2012, non-interest expense increased $1.2 million, or 10.9%. The increase was primarily due to increases of $0.5 million in salaries and wages and $0.6 million in professional services.

Asset Quality:

Non-performing loans totaled $10.5 million at December 31, 2012, or 1.18% of total loans, down $10.4 million from $20.9 million, or 2.62%, at December 31, 2011. Non-performing assets which are comprised of non-performing loans and other real estate owned, totaled $11.1 million at December 31, 2012, or 0.89% of total assets, down $10.7 million from $21.8 million, or 1.79%, at December 31, 2011. Excluding $4.5 million in accruing loans that are 90 days or more past their stated maturity dates, the non-performing assets to total assets ratio was 0.53%.

Management performs an ongoing assessment of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses based upon a number of factors including an analysis of historical loss factors, collateral evaluations, recent charge-off experience, credit quality of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions and loan growth. Based on this analysis, the provision for loan losses for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012, was $0.8 million, a decrease of $0.1 million compared with the prior year. Net charge-offs for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012, were $0.2 million compared with $0.8 million for the prior year.

For the fourth quarter of 2012, the provision for loan losses was $0.1 million compared with $0.2 million for the preceding quarter and $0.1 million for the same quarter in the prior year. Net charge-offs for the current quarter were $0.5 million compared with net recoveries of $0.2 million for the preceding quarter and net charge-offs of $0.1 million for the same quarter in the prior year.

At December 31, 2012, the allowance for loan losses was $10.4 million, compared with $10.8 million at September 30, 2012, and $9.7 million at December 31, 2011. The allowance for loan losses was 99.21% of non-performing loans at December 31, 2012, compared with 81.66% at September 30, 2012, and 46.18% at December 31, 2011. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.17% at December 31, 2012, compared with 1.24% at September 30, 2012, and 1.21% at December 31, 2011. Excluding acquired loans, the ratio of the allowance for loan losses on originated loans to originated loans was 1.18% at December 31, 2012, compared with 1.38% at September 30, 2012, and 1.47% at December 31, 2011.

Balance Sheet Activity:

Assets totaled $1.248 billion at December 31, 2012, compared with $1.216 billion at December 31, 2011, an increase of $31.9 million, or 2.6%. The growth was primarily due to an increase of $96.6 million, or 12.1%, in total portfolio loans, partially offset by decreases of $44.5 million in investment securities and $13.7 million in interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions. The increase in portfolio loans was due to strong growth of $47.3 million in commercial loans and $42.5 million in consumer loans.

Deposits totaled $1.045 billion at December 31, 2012, compared with $998.5 million at December 31, 2011, an increase of $46.2 million, or 4.6%. The growth was primarily due to increases of $65.1 million in money market accounts, $41.8 million in non-interest-bearing demand deposits and $16.4 million in NOW accounts. These items were partially offset by decreases of $36.7 million in savings accounts and $40.3 million in certificates of deposit.

Total equity was $131.1 million at December 31, 2012, compared with $125.9 million at December 31, 2011. The total equity to total assets ratio was 10.50% at December 31, 2012, up from 10.35% at December 31, 2011. The tangible equity to tangible assets ratio was 8.53% at December 31, 2012, up from 8.23% at December 31, 2011. As of December 31, 2012, both the Corporation's and the Bank's capital ratios were in excess of those required to be considered well-capitalized under regulatory capital standards.

Other Item:

The market value of total assets under management or administration in our Wealth Management Group was $1.735 billion at December 31, 2012, compared with $1.596 billion at December 31, 2011.

GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations (Unaudited)

The table below shows computations of tangible equity and tangible assets and certain related ratios, all of which are considered to be non-GAAP financial measures. The tangible equity to tangible assets ratio has become a focus of some investors and management believes this ratio may assist in analyzing the Corporation's capital position, absent the effects of intangible assets. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of results reported under GAAP. Because not all companies use identical calculations, the non-GAAP measures presented in the following table may not be comparable to those reported by other companies.
