WHEELING, W.Va., Oct. 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Paul M. Limbert, President and Chief Executive Officer of WesBanco, Inc. , a Wheeling, West Virginia based multi-state bank holding company, today announced earnings for the third quarter and year-to-date periods ended September 30, 2009.
Net income available to common shareholders for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 was $2.3 million while diluted earnings per common share were $0.09, as compared to $11.5 million or $0.43 per common share for the third quarter of 2008, and $4.7 million or $0.18 per share in the prior quarter ended June 30, 2009. Earnings per common share in the third quarter included a charge of $0.09 per common share for the unamortized discount on the repurchase of the Troubled Asset Relief Program ("TARP") preferred stock and an additional $0.03 per share for preferred stock dividends paid in the third quarter. For the nine month period, net income available to common shareholders was $11.4 million or $0.43 per common share, while for the same period in 2008, net income was $32.3 million or $1.22 per common share. Net income before preferred stock dividends and the accounting adjustment for the TARP repayment was $16.6 million year to date.
Highlights for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2009 include the following:
-- Net interest income increased 3.0% in the third quarter as compared to the second quarter of 2009 and 6.0% over the first quarter of 2009 as a result of the acquisition of five former AmTrust Bank branches in the Columbus, Ohio metropolitan area on March 27, 2009. WesBanco purchased approximately $600 million of deposits for a total price of $21.1 million and is now operating the acquired branches under the WesBanco Bank name. Also contributing to improved net interest income were lower rates on interest bearing liabilities, particularly for deposits, as a result of decreasing market interest rates, certificate of deposit maturities and WesBanco's focus on improving the net interest margin by reducing higher cost funding sources. -- The provision for credit losses in the third quarter of 2009 increased $9.7 million from the third quarter of 2008. The higher provision expense reflects increased loan charge-offs of $14.0 million. During the quarter WesBanco charged-down two commercial loans by $8.5 million, with $2.0 million of this charge reserved for in the second quarter. One of the charge-offs was caused by a fraudulent equipment leasing scheme which impacted a borrower's equipment leasing activities, and the other loss was on a hotel which was previously identified as impaired. Higher provision expense also reflects the general deterioration of credit quality across all segments of the loan portfolio due to the prolonged recession, which has caused increases in net charge-offs and non-performing assets. The allowance for loan losses increased to 1.74% of total loans at September 30, 2009 as compared to 1.21% at September 30, 2008, and 1.65% at the end of the second quarter. -- On September 9, 2009 WesBanco repurchased from the U.S. Department of the Treasury 75,000 shares of the Company's Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A, issued under the TARP program, at a purchase price of $75 million plus a final accrued dividend of $250,000. The funds used to redeem the preferred stock were derived from security sales and other internal sources, including a special dividend from the bank paid during the quarter that was previously approved by the bank's regulators. The repurchase of the preferred stock resulted in WesBanco recording a $2.3 million charge in the third quarter representing the unamortized discount on the preferred stock, as well as certain unamortized issuance costs. These charges are reflected on the income statement after net income. WesBanco received approval from regulatory authorities and the U.S. Treasury to redeem the preferred stock. WesBanco's consolidated and bank subsidiary capital ratios continue to be in excess of the "well capitalized" benchmarks for regulatory purposes at September 30, 2009 after repurchase of the preferred stock. WesBanco also issued a warrant to the Treasury Department with the preferred stock in December 2008 and is currently negotiating terms for the repurchase of this warrant.
Mr. Limbert commented, "based on our continued strong capital levels, WesBanco has taken action in the third quarter to repurchase the TARP preferred stock. The full impact of the repurchase of the TARP preferred stock will be recognized beginning in the fourth quarter through the elimination of the charge to earnings per common share. Although the effects of the recession continue to impact the allowance for loan losses, this quarter's results again reflect improvements in net interest income and deposit fee income compared to the previous quarters of 2009 as a result of the acquisition of the former AmTrust branches in March and implementation of successful retail strategies." Mr. Limbert further remarked, "as the equity markets have begun to improve, trust fees have increased from earlier quarter levels. Declines in interest rates have improved our cost of funds, and continued management focus on maintaining a quality investment portfolio has significantly increased the unrealized gain position of the securities available-for-sale portfolio."
Net Interest Income
As compared to the three and nine month periods in 2008, net interest income improved 0.4% in the third quarter of 2009, but slightly decreased 1.6% year to date. Average earning assets increased $483.4 million or 10.6% for the quarter and $416.1 million or 9.1% for the year-to-date period, primarily due to the acquisition of the branches. However, the net interest margin decreased by 35 and 37 basis points in the 2009 third quarter and year-to-date periods, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2008, primarily due to reinvesting proceeds from the branch deposit acquisition into lower yielding, short duration securities. Also, the continuation of the low interest environment in 2009 has impacted the margin as lower security and loan yields and a reduction of interest income from the increased nonperforming loans have not been fully offset by decreases in deposit and borrowing cost of funds. However, the margin has somewhat benefited from a 5.0% increase in average non-interest bearing deposit balances year to date, the result of marketing campaigns focused on checking account products.
Net interest income for the third quarter increased $1.2 million or 3.0% from the second quarter of 2009, due to the acquisition and a higher net interest margin. The margin increase, totaling 18 basis points resulted from a combination of an increase in the yield in earning assets, reflecting the full benefit of the second quarter investment of the cash received from the branch acquisition, and a 13 basis point decline in the cost of interest bearing liabilities resulting from the lower interest rate environment and re-pricing of higher rate CDs and certain term borrowings. The benefit of the improved rates was partially offset by a 3.3% decline in average earning assets used to fund the previously anticipated third quarter run off of some of AmTrust's former higher rate, single service customer CDs.
Provision for Credit Losses
The provision for credit losses was $16.2 million in the third quarter of 2009, an increase of $9.7 million from the third quarter of 2008. For the year to date period the provision was $36.0 million, as compared to $17.6 million in the same period of 2008. Higher provision expense for the third quarter reflects a $3.8 million charge-off on a loan secured by a hotel, which has been transferred to other real estate owned. Also in the third quarter, an impairment of $4.7 million was determined on a commercial loan to an equipment leasing company, of which $3.6 million was charged off. The charged-off portion of this loss was incurred mostly as a result of fraudulent activities by a major customer of the Bank's borrower. Higher provision expense also reflects the general deterioration of credit quality across all segments of the loan portfolio due to the prolonged recession.
Net charge-offs for the third quarter of 2009 increased $7.9 million compared to the second quarter of 2009 and $9.1 million compared to the third quarter of 2008, with $7.4 million of these increases from the two previously discussed loans. Worsening economic conditions and declining property values have resulted in higher residential and commercial real estate losses while consumer loan losses have been relatively stable. The provision for loan losses exceeded net charge-offs by $2.2 million in the third quarter of 2009 and $11.0 million for the first nine months of 2009, which increased the allowance for loan losses to 1.74% of total loans at September 30, 2009 compared to 1.65% at June 30, 2009 and 1.21% at September 30, 2008.
Non-performing loans increased $0.8 million from the second quarter to $82.4 million at September 30, 2009 or 2.35% as a percent of total loans, and increased $46.1 million from December 31, 2008. The non-performing loan increase from year-end reflects general deterioration of credit quality which has been most prevalent in the commercial and residential real estate portfolios, but migration into non-accrual status and overall new loan delinquencies have slowed since the first quarter. Commercial real estate and residential real estate loans represent approximately 62% and 17%, respectively of non-performing loans at September 30, 2009. Commercial real estate has been impacted by rising vacancy rates and declining property values across all classes of property particularly in the metropolitan markets of central and southwestern Ohio. More residential real estate loans are experiencing extended delinquency that requires them either to be renegotiated to avoid foreclosure whenever possible or placed on non-accrual even if they remain adequately secured. Although categorized as non-performing loans, most renegotiated loans are accruing as they generally continue to perform in accordance with their modified terms.
The allowance for loan losses represented 179% of net charge-offs for the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2009, and 74% of non-performing loans.
Non-Interest Income
As compared to the third quarter of 2008, non-interest income increased by $3.6 million, due to increased net securities gains of $1.1 million, a bank owned life insurance claim of $1.0 million, a $0.4 million increase in service charges on deposits and higher income from sales of mortgage loans, securities brokerage and ATM fees.
Non-interest income for the first nine months of 2009 increased $2.4 million compared to the same period of 2008 due to higher net gains on the sale of securities of $2.8 million and higher bank owned life insurance due to the death benefit claim, partially offset by lower trust fee income of $1.6 million due to lower market values. The service charge increase is the result of the branch acquisition, an increase in economic activity and recent free checking marketing campaigns, while mortgage loan sale income is up due to increased product demand. Securities brokerage income continues to grow from improved sales, primarily from the central Ohio market as former AmTrust brokerage representatives have transitioned certain maturing deposit customers into non-bank products.
Non-Interest Expense
In the third quarter of 2009, non-interest expense increased by $1.5 million as compared to the third quarter of 2008 due to increases in FDIC insurance, employee health care and pension expenses, partially offset by a decline in merger-related expenses and marketing. For the first nine months of 2009 expenses increased $3.2 million compared to the same period in 2008; however, expenses declined $0.7 million excluding FDIC insurance and merger-related expenses. An increase in FDIC insurance of $6.5 million in the first nine months of 2009 can be attributed to a $2.6 million special assessment in the second quarter, an increase in the FDIC base rate and elimination of certain assessment credits recognized in prior periods and, to a lesser extent, the increase in deposits resulting from the branch acquisition. Salaries and wages declined $0.8 million due to a decrease in full time equivalent employees from September 30, 2008 to September 30, 2009; however, employee benefits increased by $2.1 million due to higher health care costs and higher pension expenses resulting from a decline in the value of pension assets experienced in 2008.
Decreases in net occupancy and equipment, amortization of intangibles and marketing represented a $1.5 million cost reduction from the first nine months of 2008. Miscellaneous taxes decreased by $1.3 million primarily from the termination of a REIT subsidiary in the fourth quarter of 2008. These cost reductions were partially offset by an online customer services contract termination fee of $0.5 million, as a new suite of internet banking products was placed in service in October, increased foreclosure expenses and higher processing fees to service greater customer activity in electronic transactions.
Investments
Total investments at September 30, 2009 increased $552 million or 63.6% from September 30, 2008 due to the investment of cash from the branch acquisition, while decreasing somewhat from the prior quarter as sales at net gains funded the repayment of the TARP, as well as intentional reductions in CDs and certain borrowings. As a result of decreases in market interest rates, net unrealized gains on the available-for-sale portfolio increased $18.4 million to $36.0 million from year end to September 30, 2009.
Loans
Total portfolio loans were $3.5 billion at quarter end, down from year-end's $3.6 billion level, primarily due continued strategic reductions in residential mortgage loan balances, while management focuses on improving overall credit quality. Reduced new loan demand as well as normal pay-downs on both commercial and residential loans contributed to the decreases. The loan to deposit ratio was 87% at September 30, 2009 as compared to 102% at year-end, primarily as a result of the liquidity provided by the branch deposit acquisition.
Deposits
Deposits at September 30, 2009 increased $501.6 million or 14.3% compared to December 31, 2008 due to the branch acquisition. The increase in WesBanco deposits has been partially offset by expected run off of the acquired, higher-cost CDs over the last two quarters. Some of this runoff has contributed to a remix into low cost money market and checking account deposits.
Borrowings
On September 16, 2009, WesBanco renewed a revolving line of credit with a correspondent bank. The line of credit, which accrues interest at an adjusted LIBOR rate, provides for aggregate secured borrowings of up to $25 million, and matures July 31, 2010. The credit facility provides an additional source of liquidity to the parent company. At September 30, 2009 there were no outstanding advances on the line.
FHLB borrowings at September 30, 2009 decreased 4.9% from December 31, 2008 to $568.0 million. Deposit rates now approximate the average cost of new FHLB or other wholesale borrowings, resulting in management's decision to reduce overall balance sheet reliance on such borrowing types. The shift to a more liquid balance sheet with the recent branch deposit acquisition also provides opportunities to reduce borrowings as they mature to further shrink the size of the balance sheet.
Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes decreased $5.4 million in the first nine months of 2009 compared to the same period in 2008 due to a decrease in pre-tax income and a decrease in the effective tax rate. For 2009 the effective tax rate decreased to 2.3% as compared to 15.1% in the first nine months of 2008, due primarily to the decrease in pre-tax income as well as a higher percentage of tax-exempt income to total income, and certain third quarter tax accrual adjustments to filed returns.
Shareholders' Equity
WesBanco continues to maintain strong regulatory capital ratios of 7.55% tier I leverage capital, 10.97% tier I risk-based capital, and 12.23% total risk-based capital, all of which are considerably above the "well capitalized" standards promulgated by bank regulators, after the repayment of $75 million in TARP preferred stock in the 2009 third quarter. Total tangible common equity to tangible assets (non-GAAP measure) improved to 5.75% at September 30, 2009 from the second quarter, primarily due to balance sheet strategies and an increase in other comprehensive income. On August 27, 2009 the Board of Directors of WesBanco declared a third quarter common stock dividend of $0.14 per share, a 50% reduction in the quarterly dividend rate as compared to the prior quarterly rate. The reduction was taken to address the impact of the recession on earnings and to increase capital internally by reducing the payout ratio. The dividend reduction will better match dividends to current earnings opportunities.
WesBanco is a multi-state bank holding company with total assets of approximately $5.6 billion, operating through 114 branch locations and 138 ATMs in West Virginia, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. WesBanco's banking subsidiary is WesBanco Bank, Inc., headquartered in Wheeling, West Virginia. WesBanco also operates an insurance brokerage company, WesBanco Insurance Services, Inc., and a full service broker/dealer, WesBanco Securities, Inc.
