S.Y. Bancorp Announces Third Quarter Earnings

http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20091021005296/en

LOUISVILLE, Ky.--(Business Wire)--
S.Y. Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ:SYBT), parent company of Stock Yards Bank & Trust
Company, with offices in the Louisville metropolitan area, Indianapolis and
Cincinnati, today reported financial results for the third quarter and first
nine months of 2009. Continuing trends seen earlier in the year, the Company's
third quarter earnings reflected solid operating fundamentals, particularly
ongoing loan growth and a strong pipeline of loans to close in coming months, as
well as continued growth in deposits. Although earnings were lower for the
current-year periods, primarily reflecting increased provisions for loan losses
and net interest margin erosion, S.Y Bancorp has remained solidly profitable in
2009. A summary of results for the third quarter and nine-month period follows:

Quarter Ended September 30, 2009 2008 Change
Net income $ 4,399,000 $ 5,443,000 -19 %
Net income per share, diluted $ 0.32 $ 0.40 -20 %
Return on average equity 11.48 % 15.84 %
Return on average assets 0.99 % 1.31 %

Nine months Ended September 30, 2009 2008 Change
Net income $ 13,424,000 $ 16,610,000 -19 %
Net income per share, diluted $ 0.98 $ 1.22 -20 %
Return on average equity 12.04 % 16.50 %
Return on average assets 1.06 % 1.43 %

Commenting on the Company's results, David Heintzman, Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer, said, "We are gratified to see ongoing strength in our
business during what clearly continues to be challenging times for the banking
industry. Following a strong start to our lending activities earlier this year,
we saw the pace accelerate in September after a summer lull, with a very
encouraging increase in number of loan opportunities that we have been able to
evaluate. Much of this recent activity involves middle-market business
customers, reflecting in part the upheaval associated with recent merger
activity among the larger regional banks in our markets, especially in
Louisville, as well as the impact of our expansion efforts in Indianapolis and
Cincinnati. We also continue to see solid deposit growth against a very
competitive backdrop, some of which has accompanied the new lending
relationships we have established. Additionally, the performance of our
investment management and trust operations, which is tied closely to the stock
market's performance, has begun to stabilize as the market continues to recover
from the severe downturn of the past year. Lastly, our mortgage banking division
continues to contribute higher levels of income compared with last year, as
prevailing interest rates remain relatively low. These factors bode well for the
Company's outlook.

"Looking at credit quality and the potential risk in our loan portfolio, our
views are more cautious because of the continuing pressures exerted on borrowers
by this recession," Heintzman added. "While we have been fortunate to avoid
significant losses in our portfolio, we anticipate that prolonged economic
stress could set the stage for further loan and collateral problems. There is no
clear sign that declines in real estate values or occupancy rates have begun to
level off, and business profits are generally lower. Moreover, the financial
capacity of our borrowers and guarantors that traditionally has provided an
extra layer of security for many loans, while somewhat stabilized, remains
fragile. It is for these reasons that we remain diligent in our underwriting
standards, credit administration, risk assessment process and collection
efforts, and we continue to strengthen the level of our allowance for loan
losses for what could still be a rough road ahead."

Concluding, Heintzman said, "We believe the market dislocation we are seeing now
in Louisville and Cincinnati will continue to gain momentum as the financial
difficulties and integration problems affecting many large regional banks begin
to translate into service issues that further disenfranchise good customers,
spreading first among commercial accounts and then eventually reaching the ranks
of retail customers. As this process unfolds, we believe businesses both small
and large will come to see the real value of a healthy, two-way banking
relationship that can ride out the tough times. That's the philosophy that has
worked for Stock Yards Bank & Trust for more than a century, one that we think
helps us weather the current recession and positions us for continued growth as
banking returns to being a relationship business."

In the third quarter of 2009, the Company's capital levels remained
significantly in excess of what is required to be considered "well-capitalized"
under regulatory standards - the highest capital rating for financial
institutions. The Company's Tier 1 leverage ratio, Tier 1 risk-based capital
ratio and total risk-based capital ratio at September 30, 2009, were 10.22%,
11.68% and 13.57%, respectively, all exceeding the required minimums of 5%, 6%
and 10%, respectively, to be deemed a well-capitalized institution. The ratio of
tangible common equity to total tangible assets (both non-GAAP measures - see
reconciliation to closest GAAP measures later in this release) stood at 8.66% of
total assets as of September 30, 2009, up from 8.36% at September 30, 2008, and
8.52% at June 30, 2009. The Company provides this ratio, in addition to those
defined by banking regulators, because of its widespread use by investors as a
means to evaluate capital adequacy, as it reflects the level of capital
available to withstand unexpected market conditions.

S.Y. Bancorp's total assets increased 7% to $1.764 billion at September 30,
2009, from $1.653 billion at September 30, 2008, and were up 1% from $1.747
billion at June 30, 2009. Similarly, the Company's loan portfolio rose 7% to
$1.412 billion at September 30, 2009, from $1.317 billion at September 30, 2008,
and was 1% higher versus $1.399 billion at June 30, 2009. Deposits increased 8%
to $1.362 billion at September 30, 2009, compared with $1.266 billion a year
ago, and were up 2% from $1.337 billion at the end of the second quarter of
2009.

Ongoing loan growth helped offset a decline in net interest margin for the third
quarter of 2009 and, as a result, net interest income - the Company's largest
source of revenue - increased $252,000 or 2% in the third quarter of 2009
compared with the year-earlier period. In the third quarter of 2009, net
interest margin fell 21 basis points year over year to 3.57% from 3.78% in the
third quarter of 2008, and was down nine basis points from the second quarter of
2009. The decline in net interest margin from the third quarter of 2008 reflects
lower prevailing interest rates over the past year and the impact of maintaining
a significantly higher liquidity position in 2009, which management considers
prudent given the current operating environment, as well as higher interest
expense in the current year related to the Company's December 2008 issuance of
trust preferred securities. The decrease in net interest margin from the second
quarter of 2009 largely was due to the effects of maintaining a higher liquidity
position, which were partially offset by lower rates on time deposits. For the
first nine months of 2009, net interest income increased $1,001,000 or 2%
compared with the prior-year period. Net interest margin for the first nine
months of 2009 was down 27 basis points to 3.67% from 3.94% a year ago.

Non-performing loans increased to $8,704,000 at September 30, 2009, or 0.62% of
total period-end loans outstanding, from $3,940,000 at September 30, 2008, or
0.30% of loans outstanding at the end of the prior-year quarter, reflecting
worsening economic pressures over the past year. On a linked-quarter basis,
non-performing loans declined slightly from $8,820,000 at June 30, 2009, or
0.63% of period-end loans. Non-performing assets, which include non-performing
loans, other real estate owned and repossessed assets, reflected similar trends,
increasing to $10,641,000, or 0.60% of total assets at September 30, 2009,
versus $7,122,000, or 0.43% of total assets at the end of the year-earlier
quarter, and $10,440,000, or 0.60% of total assets at June 30, 2009. At current
levels, the relative amount of non-performing loans and non-performing assets is
at or slightly above the historic range for these metrics during the past five
years, yet remains substantially below industry averages. Net charge-offs in the
third quarter of 2009 totaled $713,000, or 0.05% of average loans compared with
$571,000, or 0.04% of average loans in the year-earlier quarter, down from
$1,331,000, or 0.10% of average loans in the second quarter of 2009.

The Company increased its loan loss provision for the third quarter of 2009 to
$3,475,000 from $900,000 in the year-earlier period and from $2,200,000 in the
second quarter of 2009. Management's actions to increase the allowance for loan
losses in 2009 reflect a concern that, with each passing quarter, a prolonged
recession will likely begin to take a greater toll on the Company's loan
portfolio and underlying collateral values, extending its impact further to
lending relationships that have to date been unaffected. The increased provision
reflects an allowance methodology that is driven by risk ratings; most notably,
recent downgrades of three larger relationships indicated the need to increase
the allowance for loan losses. These loans are still performing, and management
does not consider them impaired. Since the Company has no visibility on how long
the effects of the current recession will continue or when business conditions
will begin to improve, S.Y. Bancorp intends to continue with its historically
conservative stance toward credit quality, remaining cautious in assessing the
potential risk in the loan portfolio. The Company's allowance for loan losses
was 1.40% of total loans at September 30, 2009, up from 1.12% at September 30,
2008, and 1.22% at June 30, 2009.

Because of a relatively low level of foreclosed assets, the Company thus far has
been able to approach collateral sales in an orderly fashion to minimize losses.
Should market conditions worsen and foreclosed assets increase significantly,
this flexibility may be reduced, and management may be forced to liquidate
problem loans more rapidly, thus increasing the possibility of larger losses.

Non-interest income increased $1,596,000 or 24% in the third quarter compared
with the same quarter last year, largely reflecting losses on the sale of
available-for-sale securities in the third quarter last year that did not recur
this year, increased gains on the sale of mortgage loans, and higher other
non-interest income mainly related to realized and unrealized gains of an
investment in a domestic private equity fund recorded using the equity method of
accounting. These were offset partially by a continued decline in investment
management and trust services income, which represents the largest component of
non-interest income. Even though the decline began to show signs of moderation
in the third quarter, investment management and trust services income fell
$152,000 or 5% since these fees largely track the securities market and the
stock market remains below last year's level. Non-interest income increased
$1,087,000 or 5% in the first nine months of 2009 compared with the year-earlier
period, reflecting an increase in other non-interest income, including gains on
sales of mortgage loans, which more than offset a decline in investment
management and trust services.

Non-interest expense increased $1,077,000 or 9% in the third quarter of 2009
versus the same period last year. Higher non-interest expense for the quarter
was due primarily to an increase of $689,000 or 10% in salaries and employee
benefits expense, reflecting the creation of several new management-level
positions during the past year and higher health insurance expense. Higher FDIC
insurance premiums also contributed to increased non-interest expense in the
third quarter of 2009. Non-interest expense rose $2,974,000 or 8% in the first
nine months of 2009 compared with the year-earlier period largely due to an
increase of $1,698,000 of FDIC insurance expense, including the second quarter
2009 special assessment, and higher salaries and employee benefits expense. The
Company's third quarter efficiency ratio was 56.26% compared with 56.10% in the
third quarter of 2008 and 58.93% for the first nine months of 2009 compared with
56.27% in the year-earlier period.

In August, S.Y. Bancorp's Board of Directors declared its regular quarterly cash
dividend of $0.17 per share. The latest dividend was distributed on October 1,
2009, to stockholders of record as of September 14, 2009.
