Loan and Lease Quality and Provision for Loan and Lease Losses

The provision for loan and lease losses was $15.2 million for the first nine months of 2011, down $7.9 million from the $23.1 million recorded in the first nine months of 2010.  Net charge-offs were $15.1 million for the first nine months of 2011 representing 0.55% (annualized) of average loans and leases for the period versus $17.8 million, or 0.65% (annualized) of average loans and leases for the first nine months of 2010.

The provision for loan and lease losses was $5.2 million for the third quarter of 2011, down from $7.5 million recorded in the third quarter of 2010.  Net charge-offs were $4.3 million for the third quarter of 2011 representing 0.47% (annualized) of average loans and leases for the quarter versus $6.0 million, or 0.65% (annualized) of average loans and leases for the third quarter of 2010.  While there has been general improvement in asset quality indicators, the current quarter provision includes additional provisions as a result of the September flooding in the Company’s geographic footprint.

Nonperforming loans were $44.3 million at September 30, 2011, down slightly from $44.8 million at December 31, 2010.  Past due loans were down to 0.68% of total loans at September 30, 2011 from 0.86% at December 31, 2010.  The allowance for loan and lease losses was $71.3 million at September 30, 2011, relatively flat compared to $71.2 million at December 31, 2010.  The allowance for loan and lease losses represented 1.92% of loans and leases at September 30, 2011, compared to 1.97% at December 31, 2010.

While the yield on interest bearing liabilities decreased 31 bps, the yield on interest earning assets declined 33 bps, resulting in slight margin compression for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to the same period for 2010.  The yield on securities available for sale was 3.06% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared with 3.74% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.  The yield on loans and leases was 5.63% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared with 5.92% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.  The yield on time deposits was 1.83% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared with 2.10% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.  The yield on money market deposit accounts was 0.37% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared with 0.62% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

While the yield on interest bearing liabilities decreased 28 bps, the yield on interest earning assets declined 27 bps, resulting in a fairly stable margin for the three months ended September 30, 2011 as compared with the three months ended September 30, 2010.  The yield on securities available for sale was 2.95% for the three months ended September 30, 2011, as compared with 3.49% for the three months ended September 30, 2010.  The yield on loans and leases was 5.51% for the three months ended September 30, 2011, as compared with 5.85% for the three months ended September 30, 2010.  The yield on time deposits was 1.75% for the three months ended September 30, 2011, as compared with 2.00% for the three months ended September 30, 2010.  The yield on money market deposit accounts was 0.31% for the three months ended September 30, 2011, as compared with 0.53% for the three months ended September 30, 2010.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $60.2 million, down slightly from $61.7 million for the same period in 2010.  Insurance and other financial services revenue increased approximately $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010, due primarily to the acquisition of an insurance agency during the second quarter of 2011 and an increase in brokerage commission revenue due to new business.  ATM and debit card fees increased approximately $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010 due to an increase in card usage as well as a change in the fee structure on foreign ATM transactions.  Trust revenue increased approximately $0.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010, due primarily to the addition of new business generated from markets where we have recently expanded, and an increase in the fair market value of trust assets under administration.    These increases were offset by a decrease in service charges on deposit accounts of approximately $2.3 million, or 12.6%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared with the same period in 2010.  The decrease in service charges was the result of a decrease in overdraft activity due to the effects of implementing new regulations regarding overdraft fees in the third quarter of 2010, as well as the current state of the economy.  In addition, retirement plan administration fees decreased by $0.9 million, or 11.4%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010, driven by the loss of one client in the fourth quarter of 2010.  This decrease was partially offset by increases from new business and market-based fees during 2011.  Net securities gains decreased by $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010 due to gains on certain securities sales in 2010.

Noninterest income for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $20.2 million, down slightly from $21.0 million for the same period in 2010.  Insurance and other financial services revenue increased approximately $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2010, due primarily to the aforementioned acquisition of an insurance agency during the second quarter of 2011.  ATM and debit card fees also increased approximately $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2010 due to an increase in card usage as well as a change in the fee structure on foreign ATM transactions.  Trust revenue increased approximately $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2010, due primarily to the addition of new business generated from markets where we have recently expanded, and an increase in the fair market value of trust assets under administration.    These increases were offset by a decrease in service charges on deposit accounts of approximately $0.4 million, or 7.1%, for the three months ended September 30, 2011, as compared with the same period in 2010.  The decrease in service charges was the result of a decrease in overdraft activity due to the current state of the economy.  In addition, retirement plan administration fees decreased by $0.3 million, or 12.1%, for the three months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010, driven by the loss of one client in the fourth quarter of 2010.  This decrease was partially offset by increases from new business and market-based fees during 2011.  Net securities gains decreased by $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010 due to gains on certain securities sales during the third quarter of 2010.

Noninterest Expense and Income Tax Expense

Noninterest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $133.3 million, up from $131.0 million, or 1.7%, for the same period in 2010.  Salaries and employee benefits increased $3.6 million, or 5.1%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared with the same period in 2010.  This increase was due primarily to increases in full-time-equivalent employees, merit increases and other employee benefits.  In addition, occupancy expenses increased approximately $0.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to the same period in 2010, primarily due to continued branch expansion and expenses related to the harsh winter.  Other operating expenses increased approximately $0.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to the same period in 2010, primarily as a result of flood and merger related expenses during the third quarter of 2011.  These increases were partially offset by a decrease in Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) premium expenses of approximately $1.4 million for the first nine months of 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010 due to the FDIC redefining the deposit insurance assessment base.  In addition, the Company incurred a debt prepayment penalty of $1.2 million to pay off long-term debt during the third quarter of 2010, while no prepayment penalties were incurred for the same period in 2011.  Data processing and communications expenses decreased approximately $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010.  This decrease was due to the renegotiation of a data processing contract resulting in a decrease in processing fees.  In addition, loan collection and other real estate owned expenses decreased approximately $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010, due primarily to a reduction in properties classified as other real estate owned resulting in a reduction in maintenance expenses on those properties.    Income tax expense for the nine month period ended September 30, 2011 was $17.4 million, up from $16.5 million for the same period in 2010.  The effective tax rate was 28.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to 27.8% for the same period in 2010.

Noninterest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $45.0 million, up slightly from $44.7 million, or 0.8%, for the same period in 2010.  Salaries and employee benefits increased $1.0 million, or 4.1%, for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared with the same period in 2010.  This increase was due primarily to increases in full-time-equivalent employees, merit increases and other employee benefits.  Other operating expenses increased approximately $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to the same period in 2010, primarily as a result of flood and merger related expenses during the third quarter of 2011.  These increases were offset by a decrease in FDIC premium expenses of approximately $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010, due to the aforementioned redefined deposit insurance assessment base.  In addition, the Company incurred a debt prepayment penalty of $1.2 million to pay off long-term debt during the third quarter of 2010, while no prepayment penalties were incurred for the same period in 2011.  Income tax expense for the three month period ended September 30, 2011 was $5.1 million, up from $4.8 million for the same period in 2010.  The effective tax rate was 25.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to 24.9% for the same period in 2010.  During the three months ended September 30, 2011, a reduction in the Company’s tax provision was driven by a reduction of tax reserves of $0.8 million, no longer required due to the expiration of the related statute of limitations.
