Michael C. Rechin, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Our 2015 was very active, productive, and successful. Beyond strong core operating results, our franchise grew through two acquisitions, and we increased our digital banking capacity with a mid-year online banking upgrade providing an enhanced customer experience. We are pleased to have recorded earnings per share of $1.72, after recording $.17 of merger, integration and system conversion expenses during the year.” Rechin also added, “We look forward to completing the Ameriana system conversion on March 11, 2016, and proving our progress through reported numbers in the second quarter of 2016.”

Total loans equaled $4.7 billion, an increase of $769 million, or 19.6 percent, over the same period in 2014. Of the loan increase, $339 million, or 9 percent, was the result of organic growth and $430 million, or 11 percent, resulted from the acquisition of Cooper State Bank in Columbus, Ohio in April of 2015 and Ameriana Bank in December of 2015.
