OCTOBER 28, 2014
GERMAN AMERICAN BANCORP, INC. (GABC)
REPORTS 14% GROWTH IN THIRD QUARTER EARNINGS
 
Jasper, Indiana - October 28, 2014 -- German American Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: GABC) today reported that the Company achieved record financial performance during the third quarter, posting a 14% growth in earnings per share during the quarter.  Net income in the third quarter of 2014 was $7.7 million, or $0.58 per share, which was an increase of approximately 14%, on a reported per share basis, as compared to second quarter 2014 net income of $6.7 million, or $0.51 per share, and third quarter 2013 net income of $6.5 million, or $0.51 per share.  The Company’s year-to-date 2014 earnings were $20.7 million, or $1.57 per share, compared to $18.8 million, or $1.48 per share, booked in the first nine months of 2013.

Driven in part by a 12% higher level of loans outstanding, the Company’s net interest income in the third quarter of this year increased by $1.6 million, or 9%, over the level of net interest income recorded in the same quarter last year.  Additionally, non-interest income increased by $1.0 million, or 18%, in the third quarter 2014 versus a third quarter 2013 comparison.  This significant increase in non-interest income was marked by improvements in virtually every category of non-interest revenue, one of the largest of which was a nearly $250 thousand increase in revenues generated by the Company’s insurance operations.

Commenting on the German American’s third quarter performance, Company Chairman & CEO, Mark A. Schroeder, stated, “A major driver of our strong performance, during both the third quarter and first nine months of this year, has been our ability to generate double-digit annualized loan growth over the course of the past 12 months.  Furthermore, the continued economic recovery during the past year has benefited the level of activity within each of our lines of business, resulting in significant revenue enhancements within each of these areas, particularly within our insurance operations.”

The comparison of German American’s current year operating results with that of the prior year were 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 which opened on December 2013, and the roll-out of the Company’s new digital banking systems in the first half of 2014.
 
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 November 20, 2014 to shareholders of record as of November 10, 2014.
