APRIL 28, 2014
GERMAN AMERICAN BANCORP, INC. (GABC)
 
REPORTS STRONG FIRST QUARTER PERFORMANCE
 
Jasper, Indiana - April 28, 2014 -- German American Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: GABC) today reported another period of strong financial performance during the first quarter of 2014.  During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, German American’s reported net income of $6.3 million, which was an increase of approximately 9%, on a reported net income basis, above the net income of $5.8 million in the first quarter of 2013.  Net income per share in the current quarter increased by approximately 4% to $0.48 versus $0.46 for the comparable period of 2013.

    As compared to the first quarter results in the prior year, this year’s earnings were positively affected by a $2.0 million, or approximately 12%, increase in net interest income. This net interest income improvement was driven primarily by growth within the Company’s loan portfolio, as end of period total loans, exclusive of loans held for sale, increased by $171 million, or approximately 14%, in 2014 relative to loans outstanding as of March 31, 2013.

    Further enhancing the Company’s 2014 first quarter earnings comparison was a $1.0 million, or 23% increase, in non-interest income (exclusive of net gains on the sales of loans and securities).  This increase was driven by a $772,000 increase in insurance revenue, a $193,000 increase in investment services revenue, and a $106,000 increase in deposit service charges in 2014.  German American’s quarterly year-over-year performance was also reflective of a $385,000 decrease in net gains from securities sales, as well as a $278,000 decrease in net gains from the sale of residential mortgage loans.

    The Company’s total non-interest expenses increased by approximately $1.6 million during first quarter of 2014 compared to the same quarter of last year.  This increase was affected by the inclusion of the United Commerce Bancorp operation which was acquired by the Company effective October 1, 2013, a new financial center in Columbus, Indiana, and the roll-out of the Company’s new digital banking systems in the first quarter of 2014 operating expenses.

    “We’re pleased with our strong start in terms of financial performance during 2014, and remain very optimistic regarding the level of loan demand and economic strength we’re seeing throughout our footprint,” stated Mark A. Schroeder, German American’s Chairman & CEO.  “While the continuation of the prolonged period of depressed interest rates creates a difficult operating environment within the banking industry, it is very encouraging to have been able to post this level of financial performance to start the new year.”

    The Company also announced that its Board of Directors declared its regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.16 per share which will be payable on May 20, 2014 to shareholders of record as of May 10, 2014.

The improvement in the net interest margin in the first quarter of 2014 compared with the fourth quarter of 2013 was largely attributable to increased yields on the Company’s securities portfolio and a continued decline in the Company’s cost of funds. The improvement of the net interest margin in the first quarter of 2014 compared with the first quarter of 2013 was primarily attributable to an increased level of average loans outstanding, to the improvement in the yield on the Company’s securities portfolio and to the continued decline in the Company’s cost of funds.

Accretion of loan discounts on acquired loans contributed approximately 5 basis points on an annualized basis to the net interest margin in the first quarter of 2014, 7 basis points in fourth quarter of 2013 and 8 basis points in the first quarter of 2013.
 
During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, the provision for loan loss totaled $350,000 representing a decline of $250,000, or 42%, from the provision of $600,000 during the fourth quarter of 2013 and was flat to the $350,000 provision during the first quarter of 2013.  During the first quarter of 2014, the provision for loan loss represented approximately 10 basis points of average loans on an annualized basis. During the first quarter of 2014, the Company had a net recovery of $550,000 representing approximately 16 basis points of average loans on an annualized basis.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, non-interest income totaled $6,281,000, an increase of $130,000 or 2%, compared with the quarter ended December 31, 2013, and an increase of $371,000, or 6%, compared with the first quarter of 2013.

Insurance revenues increased $997,000, or 64%, during the quarter ended March 31, 2014, compared with the fourth quarter of 2013 and increased $772,000, or 43%, compared with the first quarter of 2013.  The increase during the first quarter of 2014 compared with both the fourth quarter of 2013 and the first quarter of 2013 was due to increased contingency revenue.  Contingency revenue during the first quarter of 2014 totaled $1,049,000 compared with $246,000 during the first quarter of 2013.  The fluctuation in contingency revenue during 2014 and 2013 is a normal course of business type of variance and is reflective of claims and loss experience with insurance carriers that the Company represents through its property and casualty insurance agency.

Net gains on sales of loans totaled $476,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2014, an increase of  $7,000, or 1%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2013 and a decline of $278,000, or 37%, compared with the first quarter of 2013.  Loan sales totaled $21.9 million during the first quarter of 2014, compared with $26.6 million during the fourth quarter of 2013 and $42.5 million during the first quarter of 2013.

During the first quarter of 2014, the Company realized a net gain on the sale of securities of $228,000 compared with a net gain of $921,000 during the fourth quarter of 2013 and $613,000 during the first quarter of 2013.  The gain realized during the fourth quarter of 2013 included a $343,000 gain the Company realized related to the acquisition accounting treatment of the existing equity ownership position the Company held in United Commerce Bancorp at the time of acquisition.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, non-interest expense totaled $15,090,000, an increase of $492,000, or 3%, compared with the quarter ended December 31, 2013, and an increase of $1,628,000, or 12%, compared with the first quarter of 2013.

Salaries and benefits decreased $132,000, or 2%, during the quarter ended March 31, 2014 compared with the fourth quarter of 2013 and increased $640,000, or 8%, compared with the first quarter of 2013.  The decline in salaries and benefits during the first quarter of 2014 compared with the fourth quarter of 2013 was largely related to a decline in the costs related the Company’s health insurance plan and a decline in merger-related salary and benefit costs related to the acquisition of United Commerce which occurred during the fourth quarter of 2013.  The increase in salaries and benefits during the first quarter of 2014 compared with the first quarter of 2013 was largely attributable to an increased level of full-time equivalent employees.
 
Occupancy, furniture and equipment expense increased $120,000, or 7%, during the quarter ended March 31, 2014 compared with the fourth quarter of 2013 and increased $245,000, or 16%, compared with the first quarter of 2013.  The increase compared with the fourth quarter was largely attributable to higher costs of utilities, snow removal and other repairs and maintenance items.  The increase compared with the first quarter of 2013 was largely attributable to additional office facilities including the acquisition of United Commerce Bancorp and the opening of a full-service banking location in Columbus, Indiana.
 
Data processing fees declined $69,000, or 6%, during the first quarter of 2014 compared with the fourth quarter of 2013 and increased $345,000, or 52%, compared with the first quarter of 2013.  The data processing fees during the first quarter of 2014 were elevated related to costs associated with the implementation of new commercial and retail digital banking platforms late in fourth quarter of 2013 and the first quarter of 2014.  Data processing costs were elevated in the fourth quarter of 2013 related to the acquisition of United Commerce Bancorp.
 
Professional fees increased $271,000, or 64%, during the quarter ended March 31, 2014 compared with the fourth quarter of 2013 and increased $31,000 compared with the first quarter of 2013.  The increase during the first quarter of 2014 compared with the fourth quarter of 2013 was largely related to professional fees related to the digital banking platform upgrades and audit related costs associated with the acquisition of United Commerce Bancorp.  In addition, professional fees were generally lower in the fourth quarter of 2013 than a typical quarter for the Company.
 
Other operating expenses increased $257,000, or 14%, during the quarter ended March 31, 2014 compared with the fourth quarter of 2013 and increased $378,000, or 23%, compared with the first quarter of 2013.  The increase during the first quarter of 2014 as compared with both comparative periods was largely related to collection costs associated with residential loans sold on the secondary market and losses sustained from fraudulent debit card activity which resulted from a phone scam that targeted the Company’s customers during the first quarter of 2014.  The increase as compared to the first quarter of 2013 was also attributable to the acquisition of United Commerce Bancorp and the opening of the Columbus, Indiana full service banking location.
