PEOPLES BANCORP INC. ANNOUNCES
THIRD QUARTER RESULTS
_____________________________________________________________________

MARIETTA, Ohio - Peoples Bancorp Inc. (“Peoples”) (NASDAQ: PEBO) today announced results for the quarter ended September 30, 2009.  Higher provision for loan losses, coupled with other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) charges on investment securities, resulted in Peoples incurring a net loss of $4.6 million, or $0.44 per diluted common share, for the third quarter of 2009.  In comparison, Peoples reported net income available to common shareholders of $2.3 million, or $0.23 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2009 (or “linked quarter”) and $3.0 million, or $0.28 per diluted common share for the third quarter of 2008.  On a year-to-date basis, net income available to common shareholders was $1.6 million through September 30, 2009, versus $10.6 million a year ago, while diluted earnings per common share were $0.16 and $1.02, respectively.
Summary points regarding third quarter 2009 results:
o  
Provision for loan losses totaled $10.2 million, or 0.93% of average loans, as net charge-offs were $7.1 million and the allowance for loan losses increased to 2.46% of total loans versus 2.12% at June 30, 2009.  Nonperforming assets increased $2.5 million, or 6%, to 2.16% of total assets, from 2.00% at the prior quarter-end.  These changes in asset quality reflect lower collateral value on existing commercial real estate loans, coupled with continued deterioration in financial condition of commercial borrowers.
o  
Peoples recognized a non-cash pre-tax OTTI charge of $5.9 million ($3.9 million or $0.37 per common share after-tax) for credit losses incurred on two available-for-sale investment securities involving bank-issued trust preferred securities.
o  
Total Risk-Based Capital ratio was 16.39% at quarter-end, substantially higher than the regulatory minimum amount needed to be considered “well-capitalized”, and tangible common equity increased to 7.22% of tangible assets, from 6.78% at June 30, 2009.
o  
Both net interest income and margin were consistent with the linked quarter, while year-over-year, net interest income grew 6% and net interest margin experienced slight compression.
o  
Non-interest income was down 6% from the linked quarter, due mostly to lower mortgage banking income from a slow-down in refinancing activity, and down 5% year-over-year, attributable to lower insurance revenues and reduced bank owned life insurance income.
o  
Non-interest expense benefited from significantly lower FDIC insurance expense and incentive-related compensation costs compared to the linked quarter.  FDIC insurance expense decreased as a result of Peoples recognizing $930,000 of expense in the second quarter of 2009 related to the special assessment imposed on all FDIC insured banks.
 
 “Our third quarter results were impacted by losses caused by continued weakness in commercial real estate values and the general economy,” said Mark F. Bradley, President and Chief Executive Officer.  “These losses also overshadowed positive results in several key areas, including stable net interest margin and enhanced operating efficiency.  We also preserved Peoples’ healthy capital position, which continues to serve as a source of strength as we work through a challenging economy.”
Bradley continued, “The build up of our allowance for loan losses during the third quarter reflects our continued proactive approach to identify and dispose of problem loans.  While additional loans were placed on nonaccrual status, we were successful in resolving some existing nonaccrual loans.  We are encouraged by this progress and remain committed to reducing the overall level of nonperforming assets.”

Third quarter 2009 net interest income of $15.5 million was comparable to the second quarter of 2009, while net interest margin was unchanged at 3.45%.  Interest income was impacted by loan payoffs during the third quarter of 2009, coupled with the impact of additional loans being placed on nonaccrual status.  However, the lower interest income was offset by a reduction in interest expense from the linked quarter, due to lower overall cost of funds attributable to Peoples repaying maturing, high-cost borrowings.  Compared to the third quarter of 2008, net interest income increased 6%, as average earning assets increased $122 million, or 7%, year-over-year.  A portion of the earning asset growth was the result of Peoples maintaining higher cash balances as a result of limited opportunities for attractive long-term asset investments and Peoples’ planned paydowns of high-cost wholesale funding.  The higher cash balance also accounted for the 5 basis point reduction in third quarter 2009 net interest margin versus the same period last year.
 “Both net interest income and margin remained stable, despite pressure from short-term interest rates remaining at low levels,” said Edward G. Sloane, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer.  “Earning asset yields continue to decline from downward repricing of variable rate loans and new loans being originated at current market rates.  However, our ability to grow and retain low-cost core deposits has allowed us to continue repaying higher-cost funding as it matures, which produced a greater reduction in overall funding costs.  We will continue to seek out opportunities to enhance net interest income and margin, while managing risks inherent in our balance sheet.”
Non-interest income totaled $7.8 million for the third quarter of 2009, down slightly compared to both the linked quarter and prior year third quarter.  During the third quarter of 2009, mortgage loan refinancing activity slowed versus the linked quarter, resulting in decreased mortgage banking income from lower gains on sales of loans.  However, secondary market loan production remained more robust than the prior year, resulting in year-over-year growth in mortgage banking income.  Insurance income decreased in the third quarter of 2009, compared to both the linked quarter and prior year third quarter.  This decrease was attributed to lower property and casualty insurance commissions.  Through nine months of 2009, total non-interest income was consistent with the same period last year.
Non-interest expense decreased $1.4 million, or 9%, on a linked quarter basis, totaling $14.1 million for the third quarter of 2009.  Much of this reduction was caused by decreased FDIC insurance expense and lower incentive-based compensation expense.  Year-over-year growth in total non-interest expense occurred for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, due mostly to the additional FDIC insurance expense and external legal and valuation expenses associated with problem loans.  Other significant contributing factors included higher employee medical benefit and pension plan costs.
“Our efforts to control operating costs have been successful, although hampered by additional costs related to problem loans,” said Sloane.  “The recessionary economy has limited our ability to grow certain non-interest revenues, including insurance commissions and trust and investment income.  We continue to explore opportunities to expand our client base and maximize the use of existing resources as a means of maintaining operating efficiency and lowering costs when possible.”
In the third quarter of 2009, Peoples recorded $5.9 million of other-than-temporary impairment losses on investment securities, of which $4.0 million related to a single bank-issued trust preferred security deemed a total loss and $1.9 million related to a collateralized debt obligation (“CDO”) security, consisting mostly of bank-issued trust preferred securities, previously carried at $2.7 million.  Management concluded these losses were required under current accounting rules since it did not expect to recover the entire amortized cost of the securities.  These determinations were based upon management’s evaluation of the credit quality of the issuers during the third quarter and estimation of cash flows to be received from the securities.  After the third quarter 2009 impairment charges, the carrying value of Peoples’ remaining investments in individual bank-issued trust preferred securities and CDO securities were $16.7 million and $2.8 million, respectively.
During the third quarter of 2009, Peoples’ loan balances decreased $26.1 million to $1.07 billion, due mostly to some commercial loan payoffs during the quarter, coupled with the impact of charge-downs on existing impaired commercial loans.  Through nine months of 2009, total loan balances also were impacted by loans being refinanced and sold to the secondary market due to customer demand for long-term, fixed-rate residential real estate loans.  As a result, Peoples’ serviced loan portfolio increased 22% since year-end 2008, to $220.6 million at September 30, 2009.
Nonperforming assets were $43.4 million, or 2.16% of total assets, at September 30, 2009, versus $40.9 million, or 2.00%, at June 30, 2009.  During the third quarter of 2009, Peoples placed $10.6 million of commercial loans on nonaccrual status, of which the majority are secured by commercial real estate and the remainder secured by other business assets.  The overall increase in nonperforming assets was mostly offset by charge-downs and payoffs on existing nonaccrual loans, which totaled $6.6 million and $2.4 million, respectively.  Peoples’ nonperforming assets are comprised primarily of nonaccrual loans secured by commercial real estate.
Third quarter 2009 net loan charge-offs were $7.1 million, or 2.57% of average loans on an annualized basis, compared to $5.7 million, or 2.05%, and $2.1 million, or 0.74%, for the second quarter of 2009 and third quarter of 2008, respectively.  Approximately $5 million of the third quarter 2009 charge-offs were attributable to existing impaired commercial real estate loans to four unrelated borrowers, with aggregate balances of $18 million, becoming under-collateralized during the quarter.  Through nine months of 2009, net loan charge-offs were $15.6 million, or 1.90% of average loans on an annualized basis, versus $10.8 million, or 1.29%, for the same period in 2008.

Peoples’ allowance for loan losses increased $3.1 million in the third quarter of 2009, to $26.2 million, or 2.46% of total loans, from $23.2 million, or 2.12%, at June 30, 2009.  This increase was caused by credit deterioration of several commercial loan relationships and increases in specific reserves for impaired commercial real estate loans during the third quarter, coupled with the impact of charge-offs remaining at an elevated level.  To maintain the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, Peoples recorded a third quarter 2009 provision for loan losses of $10.2 million versus $4.7 million last quarter and $6.0 million in the third quarter of 2008.
  At September 30, 2009, retail deposit balances were down $29.6 million from the prior quarter-end but remained nearly $10 million higher than December 31, 2008.  During the third quarter, Peoples continued its planned reduction in higher-cost, non-core deposits, primarily consisting of certificates of deposits from customers outside Peoples’ primary market area, given the growth in lower-cost and non-interest-bearing deposits.  Money market balances increased 7% during the third quarter and 15% since year-end 2008, while savings account balances were up 14% at quarter-end compared to December 31, 2008.
At September 30, 2009, Peoples’ Tier 1 Common, Total Tier 1 and Total Risk-Based Capital ratios were 10.26%, 15.06% and 16.39%, compared to the well capitalized minimum ratios of 4%, 6% and 10%, respectively.  Since year-end 2008, tangible common equity has increased due to improvement in fair value of Peoples’ available-for-sale investment portfolio.  As a result, tangible common equity to tangible assets was 7.22% at September 30, 2009, versus 6.78% last quarter and 6.21% at year-end 2008, while tangible equity to tangible assets was 9.21%, 8.74% and 6.21%, respectively.
“Although third quarter results were well below our expectations, we believe our allowance for loan losses is adequate to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio and our strong capital position prepares us well for the future,” summarized Bradley.  “Our core earnings stream is still strong, plus we are working on strategies to further enhance operating efficiency as we expect challenging economic times to persist.”
