OCTOBER 29, 2013
GERMAN AMERICAN BANCORP, INC. (GABC) REPORTS STRONG THIRD QUARTER PERFORMANCE
 
Jasper, Indiana - October 29, 2013 -- German American Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: GABC) today reported another period of exceptionally strong performance during the third quarter.  During the quarter ended September 30, 2013, German American’s reported net income of $6.5 million, or $0.51 per share, representing an increase of approximately 3% above the net income of $6.3 million, or $0.50 per share, reported in the third quarter of 2012.  On a year-to-date basis, 2013 net income was $18.8 million, or $1.48 per share, which was approximately a 5% improvement, over the $17.9 million, or $1.41 per share, reported for the first nine months of 2012.
 
As compared to the third quarter results in the prior year, this year’s earnings were positively affected by a nearly $800,000, or approximately 5%, increase in net interest income. This net interest income improvement was driven primarily by continued growth within the Company’s loan portfolio, as end of period total loans, exclusive of loans held for sale, increased by $116 million, or approximately 10%, in 2013 relative to loans outstanding as of September 30, 2012.  On a linked quarter basis, total end of period loans in the current quarter increased by approximately $40 million, which represents a 12% annualized growth rate, from the second quarter of the current year.

Further enhancing the Company’s third quarter 2013 earnings was a $400,000 negative provision for potential loan losses, which was a $1.0 million reduction compared to the $640,000 of expense recorded as the provision for potential loan losses during the third quarter of 2012.  This change in provision for loan losses was related to a continued improvement in the Company’s asset quality metrics, as the Company’s historically strong level of asset quality showed further improvement during the quarter.  As of September 30, 2013, the ratio of German American’s non-performing assets to total assets and the ratio of its non-performing loans to total loans have declined to pre-recessionary levels.

The Company’s quarterly year-over-year performance was also reflective of a $143,000 increase in trust and investment product fees, as well as a $328,000 decrease in net gains from the sale of residential mortgage loans, and a $170,000 decrease in net gains on the sales of securities.  The Company’s level of other operating income also declined by $416,000 during the third quarter of this year primarily related to fees associated with interest rate swap transactions with loan customers and gains from other real estate sales activities booked during the third quarter of last year.  The increase in general market interest rates that occurred late in the second quarter and continued through the third quarter of this year impacted the Company’s opportunities in the areas of net gains on the sales of loans and securities.

The Company’s total non-interest expenses increased by approximately $856,000, or 7%, during the current third quarter compared to the same quarter of last year.  The increase in total non-interest expense during the third quarter of this year was largely attributable to an approximately $425,000 increase in salaries and benefits and occupancy related expenses in connection with both increased staffing levels and an increased number of banking locations, and by a nearly $400,000 increase in professional fees during the quarter.  The elevated level of professional fees was  associated with the recently completed acquisition of United Commerce Bancorp of Bloomington, Indiana and with the Company’s review of its overall operating effectiveness and efficiency conducted during the third quarter of this year.

“We’re pleased with our financial performance during the past quarter and year-to-date, and are encouraged by both the level of loan demand we’re seeing throughout our footprint and the very positive trends we’re seeing relative to the asset quality of the loans in our portfolio,” stated Mark A. Schroeder, German American’s Chairman & CEO.

“The improved economic environment in our market area is reflected in the business activity of our agricultural and commercial clients and in the mindset of our consumer customers, and we’re honored to be able to assist our clients and customers in the growth of their operations and in the achievement of their financial goals.”

Schroeder continued, “Effective October 1, 2013, we completed the acquisition of United Commerce Bancorp of Bloomington, Indiana.  This transaction will provide an excellent opportunity for German American to enhance our presence in the Bloomington market through the collaboration of our existing franchise in Bloomington with the United Commerce franchise, and we look forward to serving our expanded customer base in this important and growing segment of our market area.  We also are looking forward to the opening of our downtown financial center in Columbus, Indiana in the upcoming weeks, in either the late fourth quarter of this year or early in the first quarter of next year.  We sincerely thank all of our clients, present and future, for giving us the opportunity to serve them as a trusted advisor within our banking, insurance, investments, and trust lines of business.”

The Company also announced that its Board of Directors declared its regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per share which will be payable on November 20, 2013 to shareholders of record as of November 10, 2013.

Balance Sheet Highlights

Total assets for the Company totaled $2.060 billion at September 30, 2013, an increase of $49.5 million compared with June 30, 2013.  The increase during third quarter of 2013 was primarily attributable to growth in the Company’s loan portfolio.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2013, net interest income totaled $17,192,000 representing an increase of $480,000, or 3%, from the quarter ended June 30, 2013 net interest income of $16,712,000 and an increase of $799,000 compared with the quarter ended September 30, 2012 net interest income of $16,393,000.  The tax equivalent net interest margin for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 was 3.70% compared to 3.64% in the second quarter of 2013 and 3.66% in the third quarter of 2012.  The increase in net interest income and the net interest margin during the quarter ended September 30, 2013 compared with the second quarter of 2013 was primarily attributable to an increased level of average loans outstanding during the third quarter of 2013, to the improvement in the yield on the Company’s securities portfolio and to the continued decline in the Company’s cost of funds.

The increase in the net interest margin and net interest income during the third quarter of 2013 compared with the third quarter of 2012 was largely attributable to growth of the loan portfolio, an increase in the accretion of loan discounts on acquired loans and the decline in the Company’s cost of funds.  Accretion of loan discounts on acquired loans contributed approximately 10 basis points on an annualized basis to the net interest margin in the third quarter of 2013, 6 basis points in second quarter of 2013 and 6 basis points in the third quarter of 2012.
 
During the quarter ended September 30, 2013, the Company recognized a negative $400,000 provision for loan loss which represented a decrease of $200,000 from the second quarter of 2013 negative provision for loan loss of $200,000 and a decrease of $1,040,000 from the third quarter of 2012 provision for loan loss of $640,000. The negative provision for loan loss during the third quarter of 2013 was attributable to continued improvement in the asset quality metrics of the Company and was based on the Company’s standard methodology for determining the adequacy of its allowance for loan and lease losses. During the third quarter of 2013, the negative provision for loan loss represented approximately 13 basis points of average loans on an annualized basis while net charge-offs totaled $399,000 and also represented approximately 13 basis points of average loans on an annualized basis.
 
During the quarter ended September 30, 2013, non-interest income totaled $5,444,000, a decline of $666,000 or 11%, compared with the quarter ended June 30, 2013, and a decline of $714,000, or 12%, compared with the third quarter of 2012.

Trust and investment product fees were relatively flat in the third quarter of 2013 compared with the second quarter of 2013 and increased $143,000, or 22%, compared with third quarter of 2012.  The increase in the third quarter of 2013 compared with third quarter of 2012 was due to both an increase in trust revenues as well as brokerage revenues.
 
Insurance revenues increased $116,000, or 8%, during the quarter ended September 30, 2013, compared with the second quarter of 2013 and remained relatively stable with an increase of $26,000, or 2%, compared with the third quarter of 2012.  The increase during the third quarter of 2013 compared with the second quarter of 2013 was due largely to an increase in commercial insurance revenue.

Other operating income declined $466,000, or 54%, during the quarter ended September 30, 2013 compared with the second quarter of 2013 and declined $416,000, or 51%, compared with the third quarter of 2012.  The decline in both comparative periods was impacted by fees and fair value adjustments associated with interest rate swap transactions with loan customers and with other real estate sales activity.  Fees and fair value adjustments declined by $582,000 in the third quarter of 2013 compared with the second quarter of 2013 and declined by $182,000 compared with the third quarter of 2012.  During the third quarter of 2013 the Company realized losses on other real estate of $5,000 compared with losses of $111,000 during the second quarter of 2013 and gains of $301,000 during the third quarter of 2012.

Net gains on sales of loans totaled $613,000 during the quarter ended September 30, 2013, a decline of $196,000, or 24%, compared to the second quarter of 2013 and a decline of $328,000, or 35%, compared with the third quarter of 2012.  Loan sales totaled $43.0 million during the third quarter of 2013, compared with $54.2 million during the second quarter of 2013 and $37.8 million during the third quarter of 2012.

During the third quarter of 2013, the Company realized a net gain on the sale of securities of $428,000 related to the sale of approximately $18.8 million of securities compared with a net gain of $467,000 related to the sale of $25.5 million of securities in the second quarter of 2013 and compared with a net gain on the sale of securities $598,000 related to the sale of $40.4 million of securities in the third quarter of 2012.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2013, non-interest expense totaled $13,584,000, an increase of $323,000, or 2%, compared with the quarter ended June 30, 2013, and an increase of $856,000, or 7%, compared with the third quarter of 2012.

Professional fees increased $445,000, or 85%, during the quarter ended September 30, 2013 compared with the second quarter of 2013 and increased $385,000 compared with the third quarter of 2012.  In both comparative periods the increase was related to professional fees associated with the recently completed acquisition of United Commerce Bancorp and related to professional fees associated with the Company’s review of its overall operating effectiveness and efficiency.
