JULY 30, 2012
GERMAN AMERICAN BANCORP, INC. (GABC) POSTS RECORD EARNINGS AND STRONG LOAN GROWTH
 
Jasper, Indiana - July 30, 2012 -- German American Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: GABC) reported record earnings for the second quarter and first half of 2012, marking the sixth consecutive quarter of record earnings.  Second quarter net income of $6.0 million, or $0.47 per share, was an earnings per share increase of approximately 21% above the net income of $4.9 million, or $0.39 per share, reported in the second quarter of 2011.  On a year-to-date basis, the Company’s 2012 net income of $11.6 million, or $0.92 per share, was an improvement in earnings per share of approximately 21% over its reported earnings in the first half of 2011 of $9.5 million, or $0.76 per share.

As compared to the same quarter prior year results, this quarter’s record earnings were positively affected by an improvement in the Company’s historically strong level of asset quality within its loan portfolio, resulting in a $900 thousand reduced level of provision for loan loss in the current quarter.  Additionally, increases in virtually every category of the Company’s sources of non-interest income during the current quarter, as compared to the same quarter in the prior year, drove nearly a $500 thousand improvement in German American’s reported total non-interest income.

The Company also reported strong loan growth during the current quarter, as the Company’s end of period loan portfolio outstandings, exclusive of loans held-for-sale, increased by $50 million.  This level of quarter-over-quarter organic loan growth represented the strongest level of quarterly organic loan growth by German American in its history. The Company’s recent entry into the Columbus, Indiana market area generated approximately one-third of the second quarter’s organic growth.

Commenting on the Company’s performance, Mark A. Schroeder, Chairman & CEO, stated, “While we most certainly are pleased to have reported record quarterly earnings for the past six consecutive quarters, which is a remarkable feat in the recent economic environment, we are very encouraged by the exceptionally strong level of loan growth we experienced during this past quarter.  For the first time since the economic decline in late 2008, we are seeing a strong and growing level of loan demand, particularly from our agricultural and commercial clients.  With much of this quarter’s loan growth booked late in the quarter and a continuing interest from clients to discuss future borrowing needs, we believe this combination bodes well in terms of our Company’s future opportunities.”

Schroeder continued, “As always, we’re grateful for our stable and growing client base who entrust their business to German American, and we welcome to German American our team of dedicated financial professionals and prospective new clients from Columbus, our newest Southern Indiana market.  We will continue to work tirelessly on your behalf to deliver upon our commitment to our customers and our shareholders to offer the very best in financial products and services throughout our Southern Indiana footprint in a sound and secure manner.”

The Company also announced that its Board of Directors declared its regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.14 per share which will be payable on August 20, 2012 to shareholders of record as of August 10, 2012.

Balance Sheet Highlights

Total assets for the Company increased to $1.944 billion at June 30, 2012, representing an increase $33.3 million compared with March 31, 2012.  The increase during the second quarter of 2012 was attributable to growth of the Company’s loan portfolio.
 
The Company’s investment portfolio increased by approximately $59.1 million to $644.9 million during the second quarter of 2012.  This increase was primarily the result of the re-investment of funds out of federal funds sold and other short-term investments into the securities portfolio during the second quarter 2012.
 
June 30, 2012 loans outstanding increased by $50.5 million, or approximately 18% on an annualized basis, compared with March 31, 2012, and increased $38.4 million, or approximately 3%, compared to June 30, 2011.  The increase in loans during the second quarter of 2012 was primarily the result from growth in commercial and industrial loans from the Company’s entrance into a new market during the period and a seasonal increase in agricultural loans.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2012, net interest income totaled $16,649,000 representing an increase of $37,000, or less than 1%, from the quarter ended March 31, 2012 net interest income of $16,612,000 and an increase of $385,000, or approximately 2%, compared with the second quarter 2011 net interest income of $16,264,000.  The tax equivalent net interest margin for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 was 3.77% compared to 3.88% in the first quarter of 2012 and 3.95% in the second quarter of 2011.  The decline in the net interest margin in the second quarter of 2012 compared with the first quarter of 2012 was largely attributable to the continued downward pressure on earning asset yields being driven by a historically low market interest rate environment and a very competitive marketplace for lending opportunities.  Accretion of loan discounts on certain acquired loans contributed approximately 18 basis points on an annualized basis to the net interest margin in both the first and second quarters of 2012 compared to approximately 25 basis points during the second quarter of 2011.  The Company’s cost of funds declined by approximately 6 basis points to 0.65% during the second quarter of 2012 compared to 0.71% during the first quarter 2012 and declined 36 basis points compared to the 1.01% cost of funds during the second quarter 2011.  This decline has been driven by a continued decline in deposit rates.

The provision for loan loss totaled $391,000 during the quarter ended June 30, 2012 representing a decline of $299,000 or 43% from the first quarter of 2012 and a decline of $909,000 or 70% from the second quarter of 2011.  During the second quarter of 2012, the provision for loan loss represented approximately 14 basis points of average loans on an annualized basis while net charge-offs represented approximately 17 basis points of average loans on an annualized basis.

During the second quarter of 2012, non-interest income totaled $4,833,000, an increase of $32,000, or 1%, compared with the first quarter of 2012, and an increase of $471,000, or 11%, compared with the second quarter of 2011.

Trust and investment product fees declined $32,000, or 5%, in the second quarter of 2012 compared with first quarter of 2012 and increased $169,000, or 34%, compared to the second quarter of 2011.  The decline compared to the first quarter of 2012 was due to lower revenue generated through retail brokerage operations while the increase compared to the second quarter of 2011 was primarily attributable to increased trust revenues.  The increase in trust revenues was primarily attributable to a significant expansion of trust assets under management during the past several quarters.

Insurance revenues declined $33,000, or 2%, during the quarter ended June 30, 2012, compared with the first quarter of 2012 and increased $68,000, or 5%, compared with the second quarter of 2011.  Service charges on deposit accounts increased $82,000, or 9%, in the second quarter of 2012 compared with the first quarter of 2012 and declined $57,000, or 5%, compared with the second quarter of 2011.

Net gains on sales of loans totaled $676,000 during the quarter ended June 30, 2012, a decrease $37,000, or 5%, compared to the first quarter of 2012 and an increase of $297,000, or 78%, compared with the second quarter of 2011.  Loan sales totaled $36.3 million during the second quarter of 2012, compared with $54.1 million during the first quarter of 2012 and $16.9 million during the second quarter of 2011.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2012, non-interest expense totaled $12,423,000, a decrease of $170,000, or 1%, compared with the first quarter of 2012, and an increase of $152,000, or 1%, compared with the second quarter of 2011.

Salaries and benefits decreased $492,000, or 7%, during the quarter ended June 30, 2012 compared with the first quarter of 2012 and increased $106,000, or 2%, compared with the second quarter of 2011.  The decline in salaries and benefits during the second quarter of 2012 was largely related to a decline in incentive compensation compared with the first quarter of 2012.

Data processing fees increased $207,000, or 182%, during the quarter ended June 30, 2012 compared with the first quarter of 2012 and declined $74,000 or 19% compared with the quarter ended June 30, 2011.  The increase during the quarter ended June 30, 2012 compared with the first quarter 2012 was largely related to the resolution of a contractual dispute during the first quarter of 2012 related to the acquisition of American Community Bancorp. An expense for the cancellation of a data processing contract was recorded in the first quarter of 2011, and upon resolution of the contractual dispute, a portion of that accrued expense was reversed in the first quarter of 2012.

Other operating expenses increased $130,000, 8%, during the quarter ended June 30, 2012 compared with the first quarter of 2012 and increased $180,000, or 11%, compared with the second quarter of 2011.  The increase in other operating expenses during the second quarter of 2012 compared with the first quarter of 2012 was largely related to a higher level of collection costs as the Company continues to work through its non-performing loan portfolio.
