SOUTH BEND, Ind.--(Business Wire)--
1st Source Corporation (Nasdaq:SRCE), parent company of 1st Source Bank, today
reported net income of $6.28 million for the second quarter of 2009, compared to
$7.25 million reported in the second quarter of 2008. For the first six months
of 2009, net income for 1st Source Corporation was $12.53 million, compared to
$16.60 million reported for the same period in 2008. 

Diluted net income per common share for the second quarter of 2009 amounted to
$0.19 compared with $0.30 reported for the second quarter of 2008. Diluted net
income per common share for the first two quarters of 2009 was $0.39 compared to
$0.68 reported for the same period a year ago. Diluted net income per common
share was reduced by $0.07 for the second quarter of 2009 and $0.13 for the six
months ending June 30, 2009, due to the preferred stock dividends and the
accretion of the discount on the preferred stock issued to the U.S. Government
under the TARP Program. The preferred stock was issued in January 2009 and
therefore did not impact the three or six month periods ending June 30, 2008.
Diluted net income per common share was reduced an additional $0.08 for the
second quarter of 2009 due to increased FDIC insurance charges that have
resulted from failures of large banking organizations and the inclusion of large
investment banking organizations and other financial companies under FDIC
coverage. 

At its July meeting, the Board of Directors increased the cash dividend to $0.15
per common share, up 7.14 percent over the dividend declared a year earlier. The
cash dividend will be payable to shareholders of record on August 10, 2009 and
paid on August 17, 2009. 

Christopher J. Murphy III, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We
are pleased with the trust our clients continue to place in us during these
uncertain times which allowed us to grow our deposits 7.43 percent over the
previous year. So far in 2009, we have produced $416 million in home mortgages
for our clients in Indiana and Michigan and have refinanced $31 million in
mortgage loans under the Home Affordable Refinance Program, with more in the
pipeline for modification. Additionally, our capital ratios remain strong and
our net interest margin is up slightly from the first quarter. Due to our
financial performance and strong capital, we did not have to participate in the
U.S. Treasury`s TARP Program but did so to ensure that we could meet the needs
of our customers in any future economic scenario. We believed it important to
support the government`s program to reliquify the capital markets. Having done
that, we are very disappointed in the high costs of the program, the negative
changes in the program and the negative characterizations of those who
participated even though many of us had nothing to do with causing the serious
losses in the financial services industry or the present negative economy." 

Continued Mr. Murphy, "Even with the growth, it was still a tough quarter. We,
like a lot of our customers, are frustrated that we are all paying for the
excesses of the investment banking industry and some of the larger commercial
banks as well as some other overly aggressive financial institutions. Their
actions have led to a melt down of our national economy and adversely affected
jobs and businesses across the markets we serve. Needless to say, even though we
have not participated in the subprime lending business nor the real estate
development business, credit challenges increased in the region with our markets
having some of the highest unemployment rates in the country. During the
quarter, our loan portfolio shrank 1.88 percent. Net of recoveries, we charged
off $9.72 million in problem loans, and provided $8.49 million for the loan and
lease loss reserve, giving us a net charge off ratio of 1.23 percent and a
quarter ending reserve to loans and leases ratio of 2.64 percent. These ratios
compare very favorably to the majority of the banking industry. Finally, the
impact of changes in FDIC insurance, brought on primarily by some major bank
failures and the inclusion of troubled investment banking firms brought under
FDIC protection, added new insurance costs of $3.38 million this quarter over a
year ago, including the special assessment by the FDIC of $2.03 million." 

"In these difficult times, we continue to look at our cost structure with an eye
to making sure we are delivering on our commitment of exceptional customer
service in an efficient and effective manner. During the quarter, we closed 3
banking centers that either overlapped with other locations or were
underperforming. We have frozen salaries for officers for the year, and all
expenditures are examined to insure they lead to long-term growth of the
company. During the quarter, we rolled out e-student checking and savings
accounts; e-statements for clients - hoping to save paper, trees and postage;
and upgraded our ATM system. With all the challenges occurring in the quarter,
we were able to reduce expenses yet remain focused on providing first-rate
service and excellent products for our clients," Mr. Murphy concluded. 

As of June 30, 2009, the 1st Source common equity-to-assets ratio was 10.22
percent compared to 9.82 percent a year ago and its tangible equity to assets
ratio was 8.39 percent compared to 7.92 percent a year earlier. Total assets at
June 30, 2009, were $4.54 billion, up 1.49 percent over a year ago. Total loans
and leases were $3.15 billion, down 4.81 percent from June 30, 2008. Total
deposits were $3.62 billion, up 7.43 percent from the comparable figures at June
30, 2008. 

The 1st Source reserve for loan and lease losses as of June 30, 2009, was 2.64
percent of total loans and leases compared to 2.16 percent at June 30, 2008. Net
charge-offs were $9.72 million in the second quarter 2009, compared with net
charge-offs of only $0.22 million in the same quarter a year ago. Year-to-date,
net charge-offs of $12.92 million have been recorded in 2009, compared to net
charge-offs of $0.94 million for the first half of 2008. The ratio of
nonperforming assets to net loans and leases was 2.48 percent on June 30, 2009,
compared to 2.09 percent on March 31, 2009 and 0.83 percent on June 30, 2008. 

The net interest margin was 3.11 percent for the second quarter of 2009 versus
3.38 percent for the same period in 2008. The net interest margin was 3.07
percent for the six months ending June 30, 2009, versus 3.35 percent for the
same period in 2008. Tax-equivalent net interest income was $32.84 million for
the second quarter of 2009, compared to $34.03 million for 2008`s second
quarter. For the first six months of 2009, tax-equivalent net interest income
was $64.48 million, compared to $67.25 million for the first six months of 2008 

Noninterest income for the second quarter of 2009 was $22.71 million, up 11.48
percent from the same period in 2008. For the first six months, noninterest
income was $43.25 million, up 4.49 percent from 2008. Noninterest income
increased in mortgage banking, equipment rental and investment securities and
other investment (losses) gains for the second quarter and year-to-date 2009 as
compared to the same periods in 2008. Mortgage banking income increased as a
result of recoveries on mortgage servicing rights impairment, equipment rental
income was higher due to an increase in the operating lease portfolio and
investment securities and other investment (losses) gains were improved due to a
reduction in other than temporary impairments and partnership gains. 

Noninterest expense was $37.35 million for the second quarter of 2009, down 2.72
percent from the second quarter of 2008. For the first six months, noninterest
expense was $75.99 million, compared with $76.30 million for the same period in
2008. The leading factors in the change were reduced salaries and benefits and
professional fees offset by higher FDIC insurance costs. Salaries and employees
benefits were lower due to a reversal of post retirement benefit obligations and
decreased executive incentive provisions. Professional fees decreased as a
result of lower system security consultant costs. FDIC insurance costs increased
$3.38 million due largely to a special assessment imposed by the FDIC in the
second quarter.
