Community Trust Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ-CTBI) reports earnings for the fourth quarter 2014 of $10.0 million, or $0.58 per basic share, compared to $8.8 million, or $0.51 per basic share, earned during the fourth quarter 2013 and $10.9 million, or $0.63 per basic share, earned during the third quarter 2014.  Net income for the quarter was adversely impacted by a $2.2 million increase in our noninterest expense.  The increase in net income from prior year fourth quarter was a result of decreased noninterest expense partially offset by an increase in our provision for loan losses.  Earnings for the year ended December 31, 2014 were $43.3 million, or $2.50 per basic share, compared to $45.2 million, or $2.63 per basic share earned during the year 2013.  The variance from prior year is due primarily to decreased net interest income and noninterest income.

4th Quarter 2014 Highlights

v
CTBI’s basic earnings per share for the quarter increased $0.07 from prior year fourth quarter but decreased $0.05 from third quarter 2014.  Basic earnings per share for the year 2014 decreased $0.13 from prior year.

v
Net interest income for the quarter decreased 1.5% from prior year fourth quarter but increased 1.5% from prior quarter as our net interest margin decreased 15 basis points but increased 2 basis points, during the respective time periods. Average earning assets increased 2.4% from fourth quarter 2013 and 1.0% from prior quarter while our yield on average earning assets decreased 18 basis points but increased 1 basis point, respectively.  The cost of interest bearing funds decreased 4 basis points and 1 basis point, respectively, during these time periods.  Net interest income for the year ended December 31, 2014 decreased 1.9% from prior year.

v
Nonperforming loans at $39.0 million decreased $4.6 million from December 31, 2013 and $9.6 million from September 30, 2014.  Nonperforming assets at $75.8 million decreased $6.9 million from December 31, 2013 and $5.5 million from September 30, 2014.

v
Net loan charge-offs for the quarter ended December 31, 2014 were $3.0 million, or 0.44% of average loans annualized, compared to $1.2 million, or 0.19%, experienced for the fourth quarter 2013 and $2.8 million, or 0.42%, for the third quarter 2014.  Net charge-offs for the year 2014 increased to 0.31% of average loans from 0.30% for the year 2013.

v
Our loan loss provision for the quarter increased $2.2 million from prior year fourth quarter and $0.1 million from prior quarter.  Provision for the year 2014 increased $0.2 million.  The increase in our provision was due to an increase in net charge-offs and loan portfolio growth.
 
v
Noninterest income for the quarter ended December 31, 2014 remained flat to the same period in 2013 but increased 0.3% from prior quarter.  Increased gains on sales of loans for the quarter was offset by decreases in deposit service charges and loan related fees.  Noninterest income for the year 2014 decreased 8.6% from prior year.  The decrease from prior year was primarily attributable to a decrease in gains on sales of loans, a decline in deposit service charges, a decline in loan related fees resulting from the fluctuation in the fair value of our mortgage servicing rights, and a decline in other noninterest income due to the prior year death benefits received in bank owned life insurance.

v
Noninterest expense for the quarter ended December 31, 2014 decreased 13.5% from prior year fourth quarter but increased 8.3% from prior quarter.  The quarterly increase was primarily the result of increased personnel expense, net other real estate owned expense, and repossession expense, along with an accrual for anticipated customer refunds.  Noninterest expense for the year 2014 decreased 3.9% from prior year.  The decrease from prior year is a result of the accrual booked in the fourth quarter 2013 related to the Federal Reserve determination which was disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

v
Our loan portfolio increased $118.5 million from December 31, 2013 and $49.9 million during the quarter.

v
Our investment portfolio increased $30.8 million from December 31, 2013 and $6.6 million during the quarter.

v
Deposits, including repurchase agreements, increased $46.3 million from December 31, 2013 but decreased $12.8 million during the quarter.  Additional funding for loan growth was provided through an increase in FHLB borrowings of $60 million during the quarter.

v
Our tangible common equity/tangible assets ratio increased to 10.44% at December 31, 2014.

Net Interest Income
 
Net interest income for the quarter decreased $0.5 million, or 1.5%, from prior year fourth quarter but increased $0.5 million, or 1.5%, from prior quarter as our net interest margin decreased 15 basis points but increased 2 basis points, respectively. Average earning assets increased 2.4% from fourth quarter 2013 and 1.0% from prior quarter while our yield on average earning assets decreased 18 basis points but increased 1 basis point, respectively.  The cost of interest bearing funds decreased 4 basis points and 1 basis point, respectively, during these time periods.  Our average loans to deposits, including repurchase agreements, for the quarter ended December 31, 2014 were 86.1% compared to 83.6% for the quarter ended December 31, 2013 and 84.9% for the quarter ended September 30, 2014.  Net interest income for the year ended December 31, 2014 decreased $2.6 million, or 1.9%, from prior year.

Noninterest Income
 
Noninterest income for the quarter ended December 31, 2014 remained flat to the same period in 2013 but increased 0.3% from prior quarter.  Increased gains on sales of loans of $0.4 million for the quarter was offset by a $0.2 million decrease in deposit service charges and a $0.2 million decrease in loan related fees.  For the quarter, brokerage fees increased $0.2 million, while trust revenue declined $0.1 million.  Noninterest income for the year 2014 decreased $4.2 million, or 8.6%, from prior year.  The decrease from prior year was primarily attributable to a $1.6 million decrease in gains on sales of loans, a $0.8 million decline in deposit service charges, a $1.2 million decline in loan related fees resulting from the fluctuation in the fair value of our mortgage servicing rights, and a decline in other noninterest income due to the prior year death benefits received in bank owned life insurance of $0.9 million.  The decrease in gains on sales of loans from prior year was reflective of the decline in secondary market residential real estate mortgage activity, and the decrease in deposit service charges from prior year was a result of the change in our processing of overdrafts.  Trust revenue for the year increased $0.8 million.

Noninterest Expense
 
Noninterest expense for the quarter ended December 31, 2014 decreased 13.5% from prior year fourth quarter but increased 8.3% from prior quarter.  The quarterly increase was primarily the result of a $0.9 million increase in personnel expense, with increases in group medical insurance, bonuses, and other employee benefits, and increased other noninterest expense including a $0.5 million increase in net other real estate owned and repossession expenses and a $0.5 million accrual for anticipated customer refunds.  Noninterest expense for the year 2014 decreased 3.9% from prior year.  The decrease from prior year is a result of the $6.2 million accrual booked in the fourth quarter 2013 related to the Federal Reserve determination which was disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.  Adjustments totaling $0.8 million to reduce the accrual were booked during 2014 following the resolution of this matter.

Balance Sheet Review
 
CTBI’s total assets at $3.7 billion increased $142.0 million, or 4.0%, from December 31, 2013 and $53.7 million, or an annualized 5.8%, during the quarter.  Loans outstanding at December 31, 2014 were $2.7 billion, increasing $118.5 million, or 4.5%, from December 31, 2013 and $49.9 million, or an annualized 7.4%, during the quarter.  We experienced growth during the quarter in all loan portfolios.  The commercial loan portfolio increased $24.2 million, the indirect loan portfolio increased $15.5 million, the residential loan portfolio increased $9.5 million, and the consumer direct loan portfolio increased $0.8 million.  CTBI’s investment portfolio increased $30.8 million, or 5.0%, from December 31, 2013 and $6.6 million, or an annualized 4.1%, during the quarter.  Deposits, including repurchase agreements, at $3.1 billion increased $46.3 million, or 1.5%, from December 31, 2013 but declined $12.8 million, or an annualized 1.6%, from prior quarter.  Additional funding for loan growth was provided through an increase in FHLB borrowings of $60 million during the quarter.
