GERMAN AMERICAN BANCORP, INC. (GABC) REPORTS STRONG FIRST QUARTER PERFORMANCE

Jasper, Indiana: April 28, 2016 -- German American Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: GABC) reported today that its 2016 first quarter earnings represented another period of strong operating performance. The Company’s first quarter net income was $5.1 million, or $0.37 per share, which was inclusive of the acquisition and operations of River Valley Bancorp, and its banking subsidiary River Valley Financial Bank, as of March 1, 2016. In connection with the acquisition of River Valley, the Company recorded merger related expenses during the quarter of $3.9 million, which, on an after-tax basis, represented approximately $2.5 million, or $0.18 per share.
The Company’s strong first quarter operating performance was driven by a number of positive factors, including the continuation of the recent trend of exceptional organic growth within the Company’s loan portfolio. Total end-of-period loans from the Company’s existing banking offices, exclusive of the acquired River Valley loan portfolio, grew approximately $34 million, or 9% on a linked-quarter annualized basis, during the current quarter as compared to year-end total loans. German American’s commercial loan portfolio, again exclusive of the acquired River Valley portfolio, grew by more than 16% on a linked-quarter annualized basis during this same time period.

Mark A. Schroeder, Chairman & CEO of German American, commenting on the Company’s posting of another quarter of strong operating performance, stated, "While the comparison of the current quarter’s operating performance to that of previous quarter’s results is made somewhat difficult due the inclusion of River Valley’s financial data following the successful completion of the merger transaction late in the first quarter, we are certainly very pleased with the continued positive organic loan growth momentum that we experienced during the quarter. This strong and growing level of loan demand across our footprint bodes well in terms of a continuation of our strong operating performance going forward.”

Schroeder continued, “We’re also very pleased to have successfully completed the acquisition of River Valley Bancorp, and it banking subsidiary, River Valley Financial Bank, as of March 1st. We anticipate the transition of River Valley’s customer information files to our core processing system will occur in the mid-May timeframe, which will facilitate our ability to market our extensive array of products and services throughout River Valley’s southeastern Indiana market area under the German American name and brand. We are extremely excited about the acceptance of German American that we’ve seen already within this vibrant and growing market area, and look forward to the opportunities this new market area will offer us, not only within banking but also relative to the expansion of our insurance and wealth management lines of business. This inclusion of the River Valley footprint with that of our existing German American franchise positions our Company as the preeminent financial services provider throughout all of Southern Indiana.”

The Company also announced that its Board of Directors declared its regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.18 per share, which will be payable on May 20, 2016 to shareholders of record as of May 10, 2016.

Balance Sheet Highlights

Total assets for the Company increased to $2.867 billion at March 31, 2016, representing an increase of $493.0 million compared with December 31, 2015. This increase was largely attributable to the acquisition of River Valley Bancorp ("River Valley") and its banking subsidiary River Valley Financial Bank effective March 1, 2016. River Valley's total assets as of the effective date of the merger totaled approximately $516.3 million.

March 31, 2016 total loans increased $349.9 million compared with year-end 2015 and increased $467.9 million compared with March 31, 2015. As of March 31, 2016, outstanding loans from River Valley totaled $316.6 million which contributed significantly to the overall loan portfolio growth.

Total loans from the Company's existing branch network, excluding the acquired River Valley loans, grew by approximately $34.0 million, or 9% on an annualized basis, during the first quarter of 2016 compared with year-end 2015 total loans. Included in this first quarter of 2016 loan growth, excluding River Valley, was an increase of approximately $42.6 million, or 16% on annualized basis, of commercial real estate and commercial and industrial loans which was partially mitigated by a seasonal decline in agricultural loans of approximately $14.0 million, or 23% on annualized basis.

The Company’s allowance for loan losses totaled $15.2 million at March 31, 2016 compared to $14.4 million at December 31, 2015 representing an increase of $723,000, or 5%, and remained stable compared with March 31, 2015. The allowance for loan losses represented 0.79% of period-end loans at March 31, 2016 compared with 0.92% of period-end loans at December 31, 2015 and 1.05% of period-end loans at March 31, 2015. The decline in the allowance for loan loss as a percent of total loans was the result of the acquisition of River Valley. Excluding the loans acquired from River Valley, the allowance for loan loss represented 0.95% of the remaining loans at March 31, 2016. 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 $13.3 million as of March 31, 2016, $3.0 million at December 31, 2015 and $3.7 million at March 31, 2015. The discount on acquired loans in the River Valley merger totaled $10.6 million, or approximately 3.2%, of total loans at the time of acquisition.

Results of Operations Highlights – Quarter ended March 31, 2016

Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 totaled $5,146,000, or $0.37 per share, compared with the fourth quarter 2015 net income of $7,712,000, or $0.58 per share, and the first quarter 2015 net income $7,306,000 or $0.55 per share. The first quarter of 2016 results of operations included one month's operations of River Valley and were significantly impacted by merger related charges associated with the closing of the River Valley transaction which was effective March 1, 2016. These merger related charges totaled approximately $3,884,000, or $2,448,000 on an after tax basis, which represented approximately $0.18 per share during the first quarter of 2016.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2016, net interest income totaled $20,784,000 representing an increase of $1,346,000, or 7%, from the quarter ended December 31, 2015 net interest income of $19,438,000 and an increase of $2,235,000, or 12%, compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2015 net interest income of $18,549,000. The tax equivalent net interest margin for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 was 3.63% compared with 3.69% in the fourth quarter of 2015 and 3.72% in the first quarter of 2015. The decline in the net interest margin in the first quarter of 2016 compared with the fourth quarter of 2015 was largely attributable to a higher cost of funds in the first quarter of 2016 and a lower level of prepayment fees in the first quarter of 2016 on commercial real estate loans and commercial leases than were received during the fourth quarter of 2015, partially offset by an increased level of accretion of discounts on purchased loans in the first quarter of 2016.

The increased cost of funds in the first quarter of 2016 was largely attributable to the increase in short-term market interest rates that occurred late in the fourth quarter of 2015. Prepayment fees contributed approximately 9 basis points on an annualized basis to the net interest margin during the fourth quarter of 2015 compared with approximately 2 basis points in the first quarter of 2016. Accretion of loan discounts on acquired loans contributed approximately 6 basis points to the net interest margin on an annualized basis in the first quarter of 2016, 2 basis points in the fourth quarter of 2015, and 7 basis points in the first quarter of 2015.
 
During the quarter ended March 31, 2016, the Company recorded a provision for loan loss of $850,000 compared with no provision for loan loss during the fourth quarter of 2015 and a provision of $250,000 in the first quarter of 2015. The increased level of provision during the first quarter of 2016 was done in accordance with the Company's standard methodology for determining the adequacy of its allowance for loan loss and was largely related to a single agricultural relationship that was down-graded during the first quarter of 2016 from a pass graded credit to a special mention credit.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2016, non-interest income totaled $7,217,000, an increase of $793,000 or 12%, compared with the quarter ended December 31, 2015, and an increase of $75,000, or 1%, compared with the first quarter of 2015.

Insurance revenues increased $1,050,000, or 63%, during the quarter ended March 31, 2016, compared with the fourth quarter of 2015 and increased $182,000, or 7%, compared with the first quarter of 2015. The increase during the first quarter of 2016 compared with both the fourth and first quarters of 2015 was due to increased contingency revenue. Contingency revenue during the first quarter of 2016 totaled $1,113,000 compared with no contingency revenue during the fourth quarter of 2015, and $949,000 during the first quarter of 2015. The fluctuation in contingency revenue is a normal course of business variance and is reflective of claims and loss experience with insurance carriers that the Company represents through its property and casualty insurance agency. Typically the majority of contingency revenue is recognized during the first quarter of the year.

Other operating income decreased $410,000, or 35%, during the quarter ended March 31, 2016 compared with the fourth quarter of 2015 and increased $188,000, or 33%, compared with the first quarter of 2015. The decline in the first quarter of 2016 compared with the fourth quarter of 2015 was primarily related to a gain on the disposition of leased equipment in the fourth quarter of 2015 and a higher level of income recognition for the Company's lender risk reserve account that results from the Company's participation in the mortgage purchase program with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis. The increase in the first quarter of 2016 compared with the first quarter of 2015 was largely attributable to the River Valley transaction.

Net gains on sales of loans increased $125,000, or 21%, during the first quarter of 2016 compared with the fourth quarter of 2015 and decreased $29,000, or 4%, compared with the first quarter of 2015. Loan sales totaled $24.5 million during the first quarter of 2016, compared with $21.9 million during the fourth quarter of 2015 and $32.7 million during the first quarter of 2015.

The Company realized no gains on sales of securities during the first quarter of 2016 or fourth quarter of 2015 compared with a net gain on the sale of securities of $463,000 in the first quarter of 2015.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2016, non-interest expense totaled $20,240,000, an increase of $5,028,000, or 33%, compared with the quarter ended December 31, 2015, and an increase of $5,407,000, or 36%, compared with the first quarter of 2015. During the first quarter of 2016, the Company recorded costs related to the River Valley merger transaction that totaled $3,884,000. The majority of the remainder of the increase in operating expenses during the first quarter of 2016 were related to the operating costs of River Valley for the month of March 2016.
