Community Trust Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ-CTBI) reports earnings for the first quarter 2014 of $10.1 million, or $0.64 per basic share, compared to $11.8 million, or $0.76 per basic share, earned during the first quarter 2013 and $8.8 million, or $0.56 per basic share, earned during the fourth quarter 2013.  The variance from prior quarter was impacted by the $6.2 million in accrued expenses during the fourth quarter 2013 related to the Federal Reserve determination previously disclosed.

1st Quarter 2014 Highlights

v
CTBI’s basic earnings per share for the quarter decreased $0.12 per share from the first quarter 2013 but increased $0.08 from fourth quarter 2013.

v
Net interest income for the quarter decreased 1.3% from prior year first quarter and 3.7% from prior quarter as our net interest margin decreased 5 basis points and 8 basis points, respectively, for those time periods.  Average earning assets decreased 0.1% from first quarter 2013 but increased 0.4% from prior quarter while our yield on average earning assets decreased 13 basis points and 9 basis points, respectively.

v
Nonperforming loans at $42.4 million increased $8.6 million from March 31, 2013 but declined $1.1 million from December 31, 2013.  Nonperforming assets at $78.7 million decreased $0.3 million from March 31, 2013 and $4.0 million from December 31, 2013.

v
Net loan charge-offs for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 were $1.7 million, or 0.27% of average loans annualized, compared to $1.4 million, or 0.22%, experienced for the first quarter 2013 and $1.2 million, or 0.19%, for the fourth quarter 2013.

v
Our loan loss provision for the quarter decreased $0.2 million from prior year first quarter but increased $0.1 million from prior quarter.
 
v
Our loan loss reserve as a percentage of total loans outstanding remained at 1.30% from March 31, 2013 to March 31, 2014.  Our reserve coverage (allowance for loan loss reserve to nonperforming loans) at March 31, 2014 was 79.2% compared to 98.6% at March 31, 2013 and 78.1% at December 31, 2013.
 
v
Noninterest income decreased 15.6% for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 and decreased 16.4% from prior quarter.  The decrease was primarily attributable to decreases in gains on sales of loans, deposit service charges, and loan related fees.

v
Noninterest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 increased 2.1% from prior year first quarter but decreased 17.0% from prior quarter.  The variance from prior quarter was primarily due to the $6.2 million accrued expenses related to the Federal Reserve investigation in the fourth quarter 2013.

v
Our loan portfolio increased $22.2 million from March 31, 2013 but declined $29.8 million during the quarter.

v
Our investment portfolio decreased $27.4 million from March 31, 2013 but increased $40.7 million during the quarter.

v
Deposits, including repurchase agreements, declined $5.3 million from March 31, 2013 but increased $78.7 million during the quarter.

v
Our tangible common equity/tangible assets ratio remains strong at 9.88%.

Net Interest Income
 
Net interest income for the quarter decreased $0.4 million, or 1.3%, from prior year first quarter and $1.2 million, or 3.7% from prior quarter as our net interest margin decreased 5 basis points and 8 basis points, respectively, for those time periods.  The decrease in our net interest margin is attributable to the reversal of $0.5 million in accrued interest, representing 7 basis points of the margin, with the placement of an income producing commercial real estate loan on nonaccrual.  Average earning assets decreased 0.1% from first quarter 2013 but increased 0.4% from prior quarter.  The yield on average earning assets decreased 13 basis points and 9 basis points for these respective time periods.  Loans represented 76.6% of our average earning assets for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 compared to 75.2% for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 and 77.1% for the quarter ended December 31, 2013.  The cost of interest bearing funds decreased 9 basis points from prior year first quarter and 2 basis points from prior quarter.

Noninterest Income
 
Noninterest income decreased 15.6% for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 and 16.4% from prior quarter.  The decrease was primarily attributable to decreases in gains on sales of loans, deposit service charges, and loan related fees.  Gains on sales of loans decreased $1.2 million from prior year same quarter and $0.1 million from prior quarter which is reflective of the decline in secondary market residential real estate mortgage activity.  Deposit service charges decreased $0.3 million from the first quarter 2013 and $0.9 million from the fourth quarter 2013.  The decrease from first quarter 2013 was primarily a result of a change in our processing of overdrafts, while the decrease from the fourth quarter 2013 was also a result of seasonality.  Loan related fees decreased $0.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively, from the first quarter 2013 and the fourth quarter 2013, primarily due to variances in fair value adjustments to our mortgage servicing rights.

Noninterest Expense
 
Noninterest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 increased 2.1% from prior year first quarter but decreased 17.0% from prior quarter.  The increase from prior year same quarter included increases in personnel expense, occupancy and equipment expense, and data processing expense.  The variance from prior quarter was primarily due to the $6.2 million accrued expenses related to the Federal Reserve determination in the fourth quarter 2013.  During the first quarter of 2014, this accrual was reduced by $0.6 million as a result of updated information obtained regarding the amount of refunds to be issued.  This reduction, however, was offset by higher than anticipated operational losses during the first quarter 2014.

Balance Sheet Review
 
CTBI’s total assets at $3.7 billion decreased $3.5 million, or 0.1%, from March 31, 2013 but increased $86.9 million, or an annualized 9.8%, during the quarter.  Loans outstanding at March 31, 2014 were $2.6 billion, increasing $22.2 million, or 0.9%, from March 31, 2013 but decreasing $29.8 million, or an annualized 4.6%, during the quarter.  We experienced declines during the quarter of $21.6 million in the commercial loan portfolio and $9.7 million in the consumer loan portfolio, partially offset by growth of $1.4 million in the residential loan portfolio.  CTBI’s investment portfolio decreased $27.4 million, or 4.0%, from March 31, 2013 but increased $40.7 million, or an annualized 27.0%, during the quarter.  Deposits, including repurchase agreements, at $3.1 billion decreased $5.3 million, or 0.2%, from March 31, 2013 but increased $78.7 million, or an annualized 10.4%, from prior quarter.
 
Shareholders’ equity at March 31, 2014 was $422.0 million compared to $406.6 million at March 31, 2013 and $412.5 million at December 31, 2013.  CTBI’s annualized dividend yield to shareholders as of March 31, 2014 was 3.09%.
 
Asset Quality
 
CTBI’s total nonperforming loans were $42.4 million at March 31, 2014, a 25.3% increase from the $33.9 million at March 31, 2013 but a 2.6% decrease from the $43.6 million at December 31, 2013.  Loans 90+ days past due decreased $8.1 million for the quarter, primarily due to the movement of a $7.3 million income producing commercial real estate loan relationship to nonaccrual.   Without the movement of this loan, both 90+ days past due and nonaccrual loans would have shown improvement.  Loans 30-89 days past due at $23.5 million is a decrease of $2.6 million from March 31, 2013 but an increase of $7.6 million from December 31, 2013.  The increase in 30-89 days past due loans is attributable to one borrower relationship which was negatively impacted during the first quarter by weather and permit issues.  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 other than insignificant delays, at March 31, 2014 totaled $65.5 million, compared to $66.5 million at March 31, 2013 and $65.3 million at December 31, 2013.
 
We continue to experience improvement in other real estate owned.  Our level of foreclosed properties at $36.3 million at March 31, 2014 was a decrease from $45.2 million at March 31, 2013 and $39.2 million at December 31, 2013.  Sales of foreclosed properties for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 totaled $3.3 million while new foreclosed properties totaled $1.3 million.  At March 31, 2014, the book value of properties under contracts to sell was $6.1 million; however, the closings had not occurred at quarter-end.
 
Net loan charge-offs for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 were $1.7 million, or 0.27% of average loans annualized, compared to $1.4 million, or 0.22%, experienced for the first quarter 2013 and $1.2 million, or 0.19%, for the fourth quarter 2013.  Of the total net charge-offs for the quarter, $0.7 million were in commercial loans, $0.5 million were in indirect auto loans, and $0.2 million were in residential real estate mortgage loans.  Allocations to loan loss reserves were $1.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 compared to $1.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 and $1.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2013.  Our loan loss reserve as a percentage of total loans outstanding has remained at 1.30% from March 31, 2013 to March 31, 2014.
