OCTOBER 26, 2015
GERMAN AMERICAN BANCORP, INC. (GABC) REPORTS STRONG 3RD QUARTER PERFORMANCE
Jasper, Indiana - October 26, 2015 -- German American Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: GABC) (the "Company" or "German American") reported today that the Company’s third quarter earnings were $7.7 million, or $0.58 per diluted share, which were comparable to the strong performance the Company experienced during the third quarter of the prior year. As compared to the second quarter 2014 reported net income of $7.3 million, or $0.55 per diluted share, the current quarter results improved by $396,000, or $0.03 per diluted share, equating to approximately a 5% increase. On a year-to-date comparison, 2015 earnings increased to $22.4 million, or $1.69 per diluted share, as compared to $20.7 million, or $1.57 per diluted share, for the first nine months of 2014, representing an increase of approximately 8% on a per share basis.
The Company’s 2015 quarterly earnings strength was attributable to increased revenue within both net interest income and non-interest income relative to both the previous quarter and the same quarter last year. The current quarter’s net interest income increase was largely attributable to the Company’s growth in earning assets, and in particular growth of the loan portfolio. During this year’s third quarter, total loans, on a linked quarter annualized basis, increased by approximately 11%. Total non-interest income increased by approximately $1.3 million during the current quarter, relative to that earned in the same quarter last year. This year’s third quarter increase in non-interest income was primarily attributable to a one-time net gain the Company booked in connection with the donation of a building and accompanying real estate to an economic development foundation in one of the Company’s market areas.

The Company was also able to continue, during the current quarter, its historic level of control over loan related provision expense and non-interest operating expenses. During the quarter, German American was able to record a $500,000 negative provision for loan losses, due to both a lower level of non-performing loans in the third quarter and a declining trend in loan losses over the past several years. While the Company’s reported third quarter 2015 non-interest expenses did reflect an increase of $2.9 million compared with the same period of last year, a significant portion of that increase was related to the recording of an offsetting charitable contribution to the aforementioned net gain on the donation of a building to a local economic development foundation. The Company also experienced a higher level of costs associated with its partially self-insured employee health insurance plan during the current quarter, relative to that experienced in recent quarters. Exclusive of these two items, third quarter operating expenses continued the recent trend of controlled year-over-year increases.

Mark A. Schroeder, German American’s Chairman & CEO stated, “The strength and quality of our third quarter results are reflective of the strength and quality of the economic environment within our market area. The combination of strong loan demand and loan growth, coupled with the ability to book minimal provision for loan losses, were the primary drivers of our strong financial performance for both the third quarter and year-

The Company’s allowance for loan losses totaled $14.8 million at September 30, 2015 compared to $15.3 million at June 30, 2015 representing a decline of $488,000, or 13% on an annualized basis, and a decline of $822,000, or 5%, compared with September 30, 2014. The allowance for loan losses represented 0.98% of period-end loans at September 30, 2015 compared with 1.04% of period-end loans at June 30, 2015 and 1.09% of period-end loans at September 30, 2014. Under acquisition accounting treatment, loans acquired are recorded at fair value which includes a credit risk component, and therefore the allowance on loans acquired is not carried over from the seller. The Company held a discount on acquired loans of $3.1 million as of September 30, 2015, $3.3 million at June 30, 2015 and $4.5 million at September 30, 2014.

Total deposits increased $41.1 million, or 9% on an annualized basis, as of September 30, 2015 compared with June 30, 2015 and increased by $39.4 million, or 2%, compared with September 30, 2014. The increase in total deposits at September 30, 2015 compared with June 30, 2015 was predominantly due to an increase in interest bearing demand accounts, short-term time deposits gathered through the CDARS network, and longer term brokered time deposits.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2015, net interest income totaled $18,859,000 representing an increase of $153,000, or 1%, from the quarter ended June 30, 2015 net interest income of $18,706,000 and an increase of $68,000, or less than 1%, compared with the quarter ended September 30, 2014 net interest income of $18,791,000. The tax equivalent net interest margin for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 was 3.67% compared with 3.72% in the second quarter of 2015 and 3.75% in third quarter of 2014. The decline in the net interest margin in third quarter of 2015 compared with the second quarter of 2015 was primarily attributable to a lower level of prepayment fees on commercial real estate loans than were received during the second quarter of 2015. These prepayment fees contributed approximately 5 basis points on an annualized basis to the net interest margin during the second quarter of 2015. Accretion of loan discounts on acquired loans contributed approximately 4 basis points to the net interest margin on an annualized basis in the third quarter of 2015, 5 basis points in the second quarter of 2015, and 6 basis points in the third quarter of 2014.
 
During the quarter ended September 30, 2015, the Company recognized a negative $500,000 provision for loan loss which represented a decrease of $750,000 from the second quarter of 2015 provision for loan loss of $250,000 and a decrease of $500,000 from the third quarter of 2014 when no provision was recorded. The negative provision for loan loss during the third quarter of 2015 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 2015, the negative provision for loan loss represented approximately 13 basis points of average loans on an annualized basis. The Company recognized a modest $12,000 net recovery during the third quarter of 2015.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2015, non-interest income totaled $7,757,000, an increase of $1,636,000 or 27%, compared with the quarter ended June 30, 2015, and an increase of $1,320,000, or 21%, compared with the third quarter of 2014.

Trust and investment product fees increased $112,000, or 12%, during the quarter ended September 30, 2015 compared with the second quarter of 2015 and increased $150,000, or 17%, compared with the third quarter of 2014. The increase in revenue was primarily attributable continued growth in assets under management within in the Company's trust advisory group.

Insurance revenues increased $237,000, or 16%, during the quarter ended September 30, 2015, compared with the second quarter of 2015 and increased $13,000, or 1%, compared with the third quarter of 2014. The increase in insurance revenues in both comparative periods was primarily related to commercial insurance revenue generated through the Company’s property and casualty insurance agency.

Other operating income increased $1,503,000 during the quarter ended September 30, 2015 compared with the second quarter of 2015 and increased $1,535,000 compared with the third quarter of 2014. The donation of a building and accompanying real estate to an economic development foundation in one of the Company's market areas that had a net book value of approximately $360,000 and an estimated fair value of approximately $1.75 million resulted in a net gain on the disposition of fixed assets of approximately $1.4 million. This transaction was the primary driver of the increase in other operating income. A corresponding contribution expense of $1.75 million was recognized in advertising and promotion expense of the Company's income statement.

Salaries and benefits increased $739,000, or 9%, during the quarter ended September 30, 2015 compared with the second quarter of 2015 and increased $1,023,000, or 13%, compared with the third quarter of 2014. The increase in salaries and benefits during both comparative periods was largely driven by increased costs associated with the Company's partially self insured health insurance plan. Also contributing to the increased level of salaries and benefits was an increased level of compensation in the Company's trust and investment advisory services group and retirement benefits for certain long-term employees.

Advertising and promotion increased $1,714,000 during the quarter ended September 30, 2015 compared with the second quarter of 2015 and increased $1,585,000 compared with the third quarter of 2014. The primary

driver of the increase in advertising and promotion was the recognition of a $1,750,000 contribution expense related to the donation of a building and accompanying real estate to an economic development foundation in one of the Company's market areas.

The Company’s effective income tax rate was 23.9% in the quarter ended September 30, 2015, 28.6% during the quarter ended June 30, 2015 and 30.9% during the quarter ended September 30, 2014. The decline in the effective tax rate during third quarter of 2015 compared with both periods was primarily impacted by the aforementioned donation of a building and accompanying real estate, the overall percentage change in revenue generated from tax-advantaged sources, and the timing of the reversal of certain deferred tax items.
