Community Trust Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ-CTBI) reports earnings of $10.7 million, or $0.70 per basic share, compared to $8.5 million, or $0.55 per basic share, earned during the third quarter of 2010 and $9.0 million, or $0.59 per basic share, earned during the second quarter 2011.  Earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 increased 21.6% to $28.9 million, or $1.89 per basic share, from the $23.8 million, or $1.56 per basic share, earned during the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Third Quarter 2011 Highlights

v  
CTBI's basic earnings per share for the quarter increased $0.15 per share from third quarter 2010 and $0.11 per share from second quarter 2011.  Year-to-date basic earnings per share increased $0.33 per share from prior year.  Earnings for the first nine months of 2011 were impacted by increased net interest income and noninterest income and decreased provision for loan loss partially offset by increased noninterest expense.

v  
CTBI’s quarterly net interest margin of 4.11% was an increase from 3.95% for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 but a decrease from 4.17% for prior quarter.  Year-to-date net interest margin of 4.18% was a 13 basis point increase from prior year.

v  
Nonperforming loans at $37.5 million decreased from the $56.6 million at September 30, 2010 and the $59.6 million at June 30, 2011.  Nonperforming assets at $95.6 million decreased $2.3 million from prior year third quarter and $10.8 million from prior quarter.

v  
The loan loss provision for the quarter decreased $1.2 million from prior year third quarter and $0.8 million from prior quarter.  Year-to-date loan loss provision decreased $2.3 million from the nine months ended September 30, 2010.
 
v  
Net loan charge-offs for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 of $2.7 million, or 0.41% of average loans annualized, was a decrease from the $5.6 million, or 0.91%, experienced for the third quarter 2010 and from prior quarter’s $3.3 million, or 0.52%.

v  
Our loan loss reserve as a percentage of total loans outstanding at September 30, 2011 remained at 1.36% from prior quarter compared to 1.40% at September 30, 2010.  The allowance-to-legacy loan ratio, which excludes acquired loans, was 1.41%, 1.40%, and 1.42%, respectively, at September 30, 2011, September 30, 2010, and June 30, 2011.
 
v  
Noninterest income increased 3.3% for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 compared to same period 2010 and prior quarter.  Noninterest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 increased $2.4 million, or 8.0%, from prior year.  The increase from prior year was primarily attributable to increased deposit service charges and trust revenue.

v  
Our loan portfolio increased $128.0 million from prior year but decreased $6.9 million from prior quarter.
 
v  
Our investment portfolio increased $131.4 million from prior year and $6.8 million during the quarter.

v  
Deposits, including repurchase agreements, increased $274.4 million from prior year and $44.4 million from prior quarter.

v  
The preceding balance sheet growth figures were impacted year over year by the acquisition of First National Bank of LaFollette (“LaFollette”) in November 2010.

v  
Our tangible common equity/tangible assets ratio remains strong at 8.44%.

Net Interest Income
 
CTBI experienced a 13 basis point improvement in its net interest margin for the first nine months of 2011 compared to prior year.  Net interest income for the first nine months of 2011 increased 12.0% from prior year.  Our quarterly net interest margin increased 16 basis points from prior year but decreased 6 basis points from prior quarter.  Net interest income for the third quarter 2011 increased 12.7% from prior year third quarter and 0.7% from prior quarter with average earning assets increasing 8.4% and 1.0%, respectively, for the same periods.  The yield on average earning assets decreased 22 basis points from prior year third quarter and 12 basis points from prior quarter.  The decline in yield on earning assets is the result of a change in our earning asset mix.  Loans represented 79.7% of our average earning assets for the quarter ended September 30, 2011, compared to 81.9% and 80.7% for the quarters ended September 30, 2010 and June 30, 2011, respectively.  As deposits, including repurchase agreements, have increased and loan demand has slowed, management has chosen to invest the excess liquidity in our investment portfolio resulting in increased net interest income while decreasing our net interest margin.  The cost of interest bearing funds decreased 48 basis points and 7 basis points, respectively, for the same periods, primarily the result of the repricing of our CD products.

Noninterest Income
 
Noninterest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 increased 3.3% from prior year third quarter and prior quarter.  Noninterest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 increased 8.0% from prior year.  The year over year increase was primarily attributable to increased deposit service charges and trust revenue partially offset by decreased gains on sales of loans and loan related fees.

Noninterest Expense
 
Noninterest expense for the quarter increased 7.6% from prior year third quarter but decreased 4.9% from prior quarter.  Noninterest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 increased 11.8% from prior year, primarily as a result of increased personnel expense, including health insurance; repossession expense; and other real estate owned expense, including adjustments to reflect declines in the values of foreclosed properties, as well as expected losses in investments in limited partnerships that were offset by tax credits.

Balance Sheet Review
 
CTBI’s total assets at $3.6 billion increased $324.9 million, or 10.1%, from the third quarter 2010 and $72.0 million, or an annualized 8.2%, during the quarter.  Loans outstanding at September 30, 2011 were $2.6 billion, increasing $128.0 million, or 5.2%, year over year, but decreasing $6.9 million, or an annualized 1.1%, during the quarter.  Loan growth during the quarter of $6.3 million in the residential loan portfolio was offset by declines of $9.9 million in the commercial loan portfolio and $3.4 million in the consumer loan portfolio.  CTBI's investment portfolio increased $131.4 million, or 39.3%, from prior year third quarter and $6.8 million, or an annualized 5.9%, during the quarter.  Deposits, including repurchase agreements, at $3.0 billion increased $274.4 million, or 9.9%, from September 30, 2010 and $44.4 million, or an annualized 5.9%, from prior quarter.  The preceding growth figures were impacted by the acquisition of LaFollette in November 2010.  At the time of acquisition, LaFollette had $183.6 million in assets, $118.6 million in loans, $29.8 million in investments, and $164.5 million in deposits.
 
Shareholders’ equity at September 30, 2011 was $361.3 million compared to $336.8 million at September 30, 2010 and $352.3 million at June 30, 2011.  CTBI's annualized dividend yield to shareholders as of September 30, 2011 was 5.32%.
 
Asset Quality
 
CTBI's total nonperforming loans were $37.5 million at September 30, 2011, a $19.1 million, or 33.7%, decrease from the $56.6 million at September 30, 2010 and a $22.1 million, or 37.0%, decrease from the $59.6 million at June 30, 2011.  The decrease for the quarter included a $17.2 million decrease in the 90+ days past due category and a $4.9 million decline in nonaccrual loans.  Loans 30-89 days past due at $26.2 million is a decline of $3.8 million from prior year third quarter but an increase of $4.0 million from prior quarter.  This increase is primarily in commercial and industrial loans that are secured by business assets and real estate located in Central and Northeastern Kentucky.  Our loan portfolio management processes focus on the immediate identification, management, and resolution of problem loans to maximize recovery and minimize loss.
 
Impaired loans, loans not expected to meet contractual principal and interest payments, at September 30, 2011 totaled $56.0 million, compared to $65.1 million at June 30, 2011.  Included in certain loan categories of impaired loans are troubled debt restructurings that were classified as impaired.  At September 30, 2011, CTBI had $18.9 million in commercial loans secured by real estate, $5.4 million in commercial real estate construction loans, $2.3 million in commercial other loans, and $0.3 million in consumer loans that were modified in troubled debt restructurings and impaired.  Included in these amounts are troubled debt restructurings that were performing in accordance with their modified terms of $16.1 million in commercial loans secured by real estate, $1.3 million in commercial real estate construction loans, $0.4 million in commercial other loans, and $0.2 million in consumer loans.  Management evaluates all impaired loans for impairment and provides specific reserves when necessary.
 
Our level of foreclosed properties at $58.0 million for the third quarter 2011 was an increase from the $41.1 million at September 30, 2010 and the $46.8 million at prior quarter-end.  Sales of foreclosed properties for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 totaled $7.9 million while new foreclosed properties totaled $25.5 million.  At September 30, 2011, 21 properties with a book value of $2.7 million were under contracts to sell; however, the closings had not occurred at quarter-end.  The proceeds of these sales per the contracts is $2.9 million, representing 106% of the book value of those properties.
 
When foreclosed properties are acquired, appraisals are obtained and the properties are booked at the current market value less expected sales expense.  Additionally, periodic updated appraisals are obtained on unsold foreclosed properties.  When an updated appraisal reflects a market value below the current book value, a charge is booked to current earnings to reduce the property to its new market value less expected sales expense.  During the third quarter of 2011, 41 properties totaling $6.7 million were reappraised.  Charges to earnings to reflect the decrease in current market values of 25 of these foreclosed properties totaled $0.7 million, representing a 13.4% decline in the value of the properties reappraised.  Charges during the quarters ended September 30, 2010 and June 30, 2011 were $0.1 million and $1.7 million, respectively.  The year-to-date charges for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 were $2.8 million and $0.5 million, respectively.  Our policy for determining the frequency of periodic reviews is based upon consideration of the specific properties and the known or perceived market fluctuations in a particular market and is typically between 12 and 18 months.  Eighty-five percent of our OREO properties have been reappraised within the past 12 months.  Our nonperforming loans and foreclosed properties remain primarily concentrated in our Central Kentucky Region.  Management anticipates that our foreclosed properties will remain elevated as we work through current market conditions.
 
Net loan charge-offs for the quarter were $2.7 million, or 0.41% of average loans annualized, a decrease from prior year third quarter's $5.6 million, or 0.91%, and prior quarter’s $3.3 million, or 0.52%.  Of the total net charge-offs for the quarter, $1.1 million was in commercial loans, $0.4 million was in indirect auto loans, and $0.8 million was in residential real estate mortgage loans.  Allocations to loan loss reserves were $2.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 compared to $3.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 and $3.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2011.  Our loan loss reserve as a percentage of total loans outstanding at September 30, 2011 was 1.36% compared to 1.40% at September 30, 2010 and 1.36% at June 30, 2011.  Generally accepted accounting principles require that expected credit losses associated with loans obtained in an acquisition be reflected in the estimation of loan fair value as of the acquisition date and prohibits any carryover of an allowance for credit losses.  Excluding amounts related to loans obtained in the fourth quarter 2010 acquisition of LaFollette, the allowance-to-legacy loan ratio was 1.41%, 1.40%, and 1.42%, respectively, at September 30, 2011, September 30, 2010, and June 30, 2011.
