SANTA ROSA, Calif., Aug. 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Summit State Bank today reported net income of $683,000 or $.20 per diluted share for the quarter ended June 30, 2006. This compares to net income of $770,000 or $.23 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2005. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, net income was $1,433,000 or $.42 per diluted share as compared to $1,388,000 or $.41 per diluted share one year ago. On May 22, 2006, the Board of Directors declared a 2-for-1 stock split of its outstanding shares of common stock. Earnings and dividends per share information for all periods presented give effect to the split.
Annualized return on average equity was 9.93% and 10.50% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, as compared to 11.93% and 10.88% for the same periods one year ago. Annualized return on average tangible equity was 11.67% and 12.35% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, as compared to 14.19% and 12.96% for the same periods one year ago. Annualized return on average assets was .94% and .96% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, as compared to 1.19% and 1.09% for the same periods one year ago.
The Bank experienced a decline in net income during the three months ended June 30, 2006 when compared to the same period in 2005, primarily due to a decline in noninterest income and increase in operating expenses, which was partially offset by an increase in net interest income. Noninterest income declined primarily due to reduced guaranteed loan sales, reduced service charge income and reduced real estate exchange fees Operating expenses increased due to increased staffing to support the growth of the Bank.
Net income increased for the six months ended June 30, 2006 when compared to the same period in 2005, as the increase in net interest income was sufficient to offset the decline in noninterest income and increase in operating expenses.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income increased $101,000 or 4% to $2,692,000 during the second quarter of 2006 compared to $2,591,000 for the same quarter of 2005. The net interest margin declined to 3.94% for the three months ended June 30, 2006, compared to 4.28% for the three months ended June 30, 2005. The decline in the Bank's net interest margin was due to the general rise in interest rates between the two periods which affects the yield on earning assets and the cost of funds by varying amounts. While the net interest margin declined, net interest income increased due to the increase in earning assets. Average interest earning assets increased 13% to $273,804,000 from $242,561,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005.
Net interest income increased $598,000 or 12% to $5,494,000 during the first six months of 2006 compared to $4,896,000 for the same period of 2005, resulting in a net interest margin of 3.92% for the six months ended June 30, 2006, a decrease from the net interest margin of 4.14% for the six months ended June 30, 2005. While the net interest margin declined, growth in the volume of earning assets and a modest change in the mix of earning assets was sufficient to overcome the declining margin, as average interest earning assets increased 19% to $282,862,000 from $238,249,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005.
Noninterest Income
For the second quarter 2006, non-interest income totaled $334,000, as compared to $469,000 for the second quarter of 2005. While lease income increased $19,000 to $167,000, in the quarter over quarter comparison, most of the change is related to service charges on deposit accounts, which decreased $148,000 to $78,000 as a result of the discontinuance of a deposit product line and the loss of a large national account.
Other non- interest income sources included Real Estate 1031 Exchange Fees, which decreased $28,000 to $7,000 in the comparison with second quarter 2005 and SBA Guaranteed Loan Sales, which decreased $23,000 to $5,000 during the same period. Rising short term interest rates have reduced the volume in both product lines.
Total non-interest income for the first six months of 2006 decreased $216,000 to $656,000 for the same reasons outlined above. Because the Headquarters Office was fully leased in 2006, Lease Income increased $75,000 to $318,000 in the comparison with the first six months of 2005. Most of the decrease is represented by the $206,000 decrease in service charges to $162,000, for 2006.
Noninterest Expenses
For the second quarter 2006, non-interest expenses increased $85,000 to $1,725,000, compared to the same period in 2005. While general operating expenses decreased $116,000 in the second quarter comparison with 2005, human resources expense increased $136,000 to $890,000 and premises and equipment related expenses increased $65,000 to $339,000. The increase in expense relates to additional staffing, training and positioning for growth in deposits and assets.
While total non-interest expenses increased $272,000 to $3,458,000, in comparison with the first six months of 2005, the 9% increase in expenses compares to a 17% increase in average assets for the period. The key components of change, in comparison with 2005, were the $59,000 decrease in general operating expenses, $221,000 increase in human resources related expenses, and the $110,000 increase in premises and equipment related expenses.
Loan and Deposit Activity
Total loans as of June 30, 2006 were $250,349,000, an increase of $29,682,000 or 13%, compared to total loans of $220,667,000 at June 30, 2005.
Total deposits were $236,395,000 at June 30, 2006, an increase of $23,235,000 or 11%, compared to $213,160,000 at June 30, 2005.
Total assets were $299,409,000 at June 30, 2006, an increase of $33,794,000 or 13%, compared to $265,615,000 at June 30, 2005. Total assets declined $46,443,000 compared to December 31, 2005 as a result of fluctuations in deposits from the Real Estate 1031 Exchange program.
Nonperforming Assets
Loans on nonaccrual were $958,000 or 0.4% of gross loans at June 30, 2006 and consisted of three loans. There were no loans past due 90 days and still accruing interest.
