"The loan portfolio, excluding the two-step loans, continues to perform
within our expectations," said Robert D. Sznewajs, President and Chief
Executive Officer. "We remain committed to growing our core businesses
consistent with our previously outlined strategy. The combination of our
strong payments system products, delivery branch system and very talented
people continues to give us a competitive advantage in the market place."
Financial Results:
As previously announced, the Company recorded a fourth quarter 2007 total
provision for credit losses of $30.0 million including $27.8 million related
to the two-step portfolio and $2.2 million related to all other loans. In
fourth quarter 2006, the Company recorded a total provision of $1.2 million,
of which $.7 million was associated with the two-step portfolio. Total net
charge-offs in the fourth quarter were 0.65% annualized of average loans
outstanding or $3.6 million, of which $1.9 million related to the two-step
portfolio. In the same period of 2006, $.6 million in total net charge-offs
were recorded, none of which related to two-step loans.
At year end 2007, the total allowance for credit losses was $54.9 million,
or 2.53% of total loans, including $31.1 million associated with the two-step
loan portfolio and $23.8 million related to the remainder of the loan
portfolio. The allowance for credit losses related to the two-step portfolio
was 11.81% of total outstanding two-step loans. At December 31, 2007, the
allowance for credit losses associated with loans other than two-step loans
was 1.25% of such outstanding loan balances. At year-end 2006, the total
allowance for credit losses was $23.0 million, or 1.18% of total loans.
Total non-performing assets were $29.7 million or 1.12% of total assets at
December 31, 2007. The non-performing assets related to the two-step loans was
$23.8 million or .90% of total assets at December 31, 2007, as compared to
$0.6 million or 0.02% of total assets at year-end 2006. At year-end 2007,
there were $5.9 million of non-performing loans outside the two-step portfolio
or .22% of total assets, as compared to $0.9 million or .04% of total assets
at year-end 2006. Total non-performing assets were $1.5 million or .06% of
total assets on December 31, 2006. For more information on non-performing
loans and assets, see tables 3 through 9.
In the fourth quarter of 2007, total net interest income increased
$2.6 million or 10% from the same quarter last year primarily due to the 12%
loan growth from the fourth quarter 2006. The fourth quarter net interest
margin remained relatively unchanged from the same quarter in 2006, but
compressed 14 basis points from the third quarter of this year. The
compression in the margin for the fourth quarter was mainly the result of a
lag in the decrease in deposit and borrowing rates relative to the decline in
loan yields along with interest reversals on loans that fell into non-accrual
status during the most recent quarter.
Total fourth quarter non-interest income rose $1.1 million or 15% from the
same quarter in 2006 despite a $.4 million or 46% decline in gain of sales of
loans resulting from slower residential mortgage market activity. Compared to
fourth quarter 2006, payment system revenues increased $.5 million or 26% with
strong growth in number of card related and merchant services processing
revenues. Total deposit service charge revenues grew 31% or $.9 million over
the same period primarily reflecting the approximately 10% year-over-year
growth in consumer and business transaction accounts, lower earnings credits
and higher transaction volumes.
Compared to the fourth quarter 2006, total non-interest expense increased
a modest $.1 million or 1% in the final quarter of 2007. Personnel expense
declined 5% from the fourth quarter in 2006, primarily caused by lower
performance-related pay. New and relocated branches over the past 12 months
and system upgrades were the primary drivers of the 27% and 17% growth in
equipment and occupancy expense, respectively, from the same quarter in 2006.
Consistent with the past few quarters, the 30% or $.2 million increase in
year-over-year fourth-quarter payment system expense was largely due to
significantly higher transaction volumes across our payment systems product
offerings.
