Community Trust Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ-CTBI) reports earnings for the fourth quarter 2013 of $8.8 million, or $0.56 per basic share, compared to $10.6 million, or $0.68 per basic share, earned during the fourth quarter 2012 and $12.7 million, or $0.81 per basic share, earned during the third quarter 2013.  Earnings for the year ended December 31, 2013 were $45.2 million, or $2.90 per basic share, compared to $44.9 million, or $2.90 per basic share for the year ended December 31, 2012.
 
On November 15, 2013, CTBI reported, in a current report on Form 8-K, an ongoing investigation by the Federal Reserve that we expected to result in an accrual against earnings in the fourth quarter of 2013.  While the final determination of costs, including customer refunds, has not occurred, management has developed an estimated range of outcomes, including a maximum and minimum exposure and has accrued $6.2 million, the amount within this range that was considered the most likely cost.

4th Quarter 2013 Highlights

v
CTBI’s basic earnings per share for the quarter decreased $0.12 per share from the fourth quarter 2012 and $0.25 per share from the third quarter 2013.  Basic earnings per share for the year remained flat to prior year.

v
Net interest income for the quarter increased 0.7% from prior year fourth quarter but declined 0.4% from prior quarter as our net interest margin increased 2 basis points but decreased 2 basis points, respectively, for those time periods.  Average earning assets decreased 0.1% from fourth quarter 2012 but increased 0.1% from prior quarter.  Net interest income for the year ended December 31, 2013 increased 1.9% from prior year.

v
Nonperforming loans at $43.6 million increased $7.6 million from December 31, 2012 and $1.3 million from September 30, 2013.  Nonperforming assets at $82.7 million decreased $0.3 million from December 31, 2012 and $2.0 million from September 30, 2013.

v
Net loan charge-offs for the quarter ended December 31, 2013 were $1.2 million, or 0.19% of average loans annualized, compared to $2.9 million, or 0.45%, experienced for the fourth quarter 2012 and $1.7 million, or 0.26%, for the third quarter 2013.  Net charge-offs for the year were $7.8 million, or 0.30%, compared to $9.4 million, or 0.37%, for the year ended December 31, 2012.

v
Our loan loss provision for the quarter decreased $1.7 million from prior year fourth quarter and $0.9 million from prior quarter.  Provision expense for the year of $8.6 million is $0.9 million less than 2012.
 
v
Our loan loss reserve as a percentage of total loans outstanding remained at 1.30% from December 31, 2012 to December 31, 2013.  Our reserve coverage (allowance for loan loss reserve to nonperforming loans) at December 31, 2013 was 78.1% compared to 92.3% at December 31, 2012 and 80.5% at September 30, 2013.
 
v
Noninterest income increased 0.8% for the quarter ended December 31, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012 but decreased 0.3% from prior quarter.  The increase from fourth quarter 2012 was primarily attributable to increases in trust fees and net gains on other real estate owned, while the decrease from prior quarter was primarily due to a decrease in gains on sales of loans.  Noninterest income for the year ended December 31, 2013 increased 7.3%.  The increase year over year included increases in gains on sales of loans, deposit service charges, trust revenue, loan related fees, net gains on other real estate owned, and bank owned life insurance income, offset slightly by a decrease in securities gains.

v
Noninterest expense for the quarter ended December 31, 2013 increased 16.3% from prior year fourth quarter and 26.5% from prior quarter.  Noninterest expense for the year ended December 31, 2013 increased 6.5% from prior year.  Noninterest expense was impacted by increased personnel expense, increased data processing expense, and $6.2 million in accrued expenses related to the Federal Reserve investigation discussed above.
