Exhibit 99.1
BERKSHIRE HILLS TAKES AGGRESSIVE STRATEGIC ACTIONS TO
POSITION ITSELF FOR FUTURE GROWTH;
ENTERS NEW BUSINESS LINES;
REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER AND ANNUAL RESULTS;
AND ANNOUNCES EXECUTIVE APPOINTMENT
Dividend Declared
Pittsfield, MA — January 28, 2010 — Berkshire Hills Bancorp (BHLB) has taken aggressive strategic actions in the fourth quarter to position the Company for higher growth and earnings in 2010 and beyond. These actions included:
| | • | | A strategic loan initiative to analyze, restructure and resolve risks in the commercial portfolio due to the impact of the recession in the Company’s markets |
| |
| | • | | New business ventures expanded with the recruitment of a New England middle market asset based lending team, and a Private Banking and Wealth Management team in Springfield, where a new regional headquarters was opened in November |
| |
| | • | | Re-engineering of the insurance group to enhance the customer experience as well as the group’s profitability |
| |
| | • | | Prepayment of higher cost borrowings which did not fit into current asset/liability management strategies |
| |
| | • | | Enhanced leadership with the appointment of Richard M. Marotta as EVP/Chief Risk Officer and the announcement of Robert M. Curley as a Director and New York Chairman |
Berkshire’s President and CEO Michael P. Daly stated, “Our team has responded aggressively to the changed opportunities and challenges in our markets as a result of the economic and financial events of the last year. We have anticipated and resolved potential risks in our portfolio and announced significant new business ventures — all while generating the usual organic growth and operating results that we had planned for the quarter, before the impact of these initiatives. Berkshire continues to attract exceptional talent and we enter this new decade well positioned to build on our position as the largest regional provider in our markets. While we have recorded a loss for the quarter and the year, we have taken the appropriate steps and are utilizing our strengths to move the Company forward.”

Berkshire’s Chairman, Lawrence A. Bossidy, added “The deep recession of the last eighteen months has stressed a number of businesses and organizations in our markets, resulting in the decision by management to restructure certain loans. To take these significant actions and to emerge with a fully satisfactory capital ratio illustrates Berkshire’s financial strength and the ability of its leadership to quickly face reality and move forward. I am very optimistic about the growth prospects and earnings potential of this enterprise.”
The Company recorded $39 million related to loan charges and reserve building in the fourth quarter following the completion of its loan initiative. Berkshire’s annual loan charge-off and nonperforming asset ratios continue to be significantly better than the most recent third quarter FDIC averages for the nation and the northeast region. The Company believes that recession related losses that have emerged have been recognized and prudently resolved and/or reserved.
Through the first nine months of 2009, Berkshire reported total net income of $8 million ($0.32 per share). Including the loan charges, the Company’s results for the fourth quarter of 2009 were a net loss of $24 million ($1.75 per share). Results for the full year were a loss of $16 million ($1.52 per share after preferred stock dividends).
CEO Daly stated, “We have seen increased signs of economic stress, primarily in three sectors related to residential construction, lodging, and community nonprofits. These stresses were seen in real estate activity and market values, and in borrower cash flows and guarantor support. While our overall loan payment performance remains comparatively strong, we mounted an intensive effort in the fourth quarter to update financial and appraisal information and to develop conservative projections of longer term risks. We are well capitalized, and we undertook an effort to reduce our risk exposures, in light of the further evidence of softness and potential softness that we observed in the fourth quarter. We performed a thorough review and in certain situations we restructured existing loans to lower levels which we feel can be sustained in the anticipated economic environment. In most of these cases, we continue to hold a loan position that has been charged off and which could provide future recoveries when economic conditions improve. These actions were usually more favorable than the sale of these loans in the market. However, in some cases, we have instead pursued the local sale or refinancing of loan balances, and we also are pursuing foreclosures in some instances. We are better positioned for the future, and this action is intended to clear the way for a recovery in 2010 earnings.”

REVIEW AND OUTLOOK
Berkshire exceeded its targets for loan and deposit growth in the fourth quarter, and produced a $290 thousand increase in core revenue, exceeding plans. Total non-interest expense met expectations before charges related to the initiatives discussed in this release. These revenue and non-interest expense results were consistent with the assumptions in the Company’s previous guidance of $0.15 fourth quarter EPS before these initiatives. The Company expects to produce earnings per share in the range of $0.85 — $0.95 in 2010. The Company also expects the annualized loan loss provision to decline to under 0.60% of average loans.
In December, Berkshire announced the recruitment of a seasoned middle market asset based lending team to service the New England and Northeastern New York markets. In January, the Company recruited a well known private banking team and a wealth management professional to complement the team at its newly opened Springfield regional headquarters. The Company also expects to open two branches later this year in its New York region, increasing to twelve its banking offices in this important growth market. In 2010, the Company will be carrying the costs of its investments in these new initiatives. Berkshire expects higher earnings in 2011 as these activities season and generate higher earnings. In December, Berkshire also participated in the creation of an innovative partnership providing financing to seven Massachusetts commercial solar projects, complementing other solar and low income housing financings which were undertaken by the Company in 2009.
The Company has announced the appointment of Richard M. Marotta as EVP/Chief Risk Officer to provide strategic leadership for the Company’s future growth. Mr. Marotta was previously EVP and Group Head, Asset Recovery at KeyBank, and has extensive career experience in credit and risk management, including asset based lending portfolios. Shepard Rainie, who has held this position, is relocating to Boston for personal reasons and will remain with the Company for an interim period to assist with this transition. Mr. Marotta’s appointment follows the recent appointment of Robert M. Curley as New York Chairman and a director of the Company, as Berkshire continues to add to the depth and capacity of its executive team.

DIVIDEND PAYMENT
The Board of Directors maintained the cash dividend on Berkshire’s common stock, declaring a dividend of $0.16 per share to stockholders of record at the close of business on February 18, 2010 and payable on March 4, 2010. Mr. Daly commented “Our dividend is important to our shareholders and long run dividends are an important component of our shareholder value. Reflecting our urgent priority on shareholder returns, in light of the challenges in the operating environment, noncontractual management incentive compensation was not paid in 2009. Based on our capital resources and earnings expectations, we look forward to maintaining our continuous dividend payment record.”
LOAN DISCUSSION
The Company focused on commercial problem and potential problem loans. For a number of relationships, the Company negotiated loan restructurings to reduce certain borrowers’ debt service, while maintaining a charged-off component to preserve future recovery potential. Commercial loan net charge-offs totaled $28 million in the quarter. They were concentrated in relationships totaling $53 million with charge-offs totaling $22 million. Many of these relationships were current in their loan payments but were at risk of becoming delinquent in the future due to economic conditions. Among these larger relationships, most involved conforming commercial real estate mortgages granted in the 2005 — 2007 period to longstanding area borrowers who were expanding operations and who were impacted by the subsequent economic recession and its impact on values and cash flows. These relationships were spread among the Company’s regional markets, and included exposures in three sectors where the Company had seen elevated stress: residential construction, lodging, and community nonprofits. At year-end, commercial nonperforming loans totaled $35 million, or 1.30% of total assets. The Company has active workout plans on the majority of this balance, with a reduction of $20 million targeted in the first half of 2010.
The Company’s residential mortgage and consumer loan portfolios continue to perform well, with total nonperforming loans at 0.40% of related outstandings at year-end. The Company recorded $3 million in net charge-offs against these portfolios in the fourth quarter related primarily to a small number of mortgage borrowers. The Company expects its total mortgage and consumer loan charge-offs to decline in 2010, particularly due to the continuing runoff of the indirect auto portfolio.
The Company recorded total net loan charge-offs of $31 million in the fourth quarter and $39 million for the year. Berkshire’s annual loan charge-off and nonperforming assets ratios have been significantly below national and regional averages for each of the last three years based on most recent FDIC data. The Company recorded a $39 million provision for loan losses in the fourth quarter, resulting in an $8 million increase in the loan loss allowance to $32 million. The allowance measured 1.62% of total loans and 82% of non-performing assets at year-end. The allowance provides for estimated loan losses inherent in the portfolio at the balance sheet date. The Company has maintained the allowance in the range of 1.14% — 1.22% of total loans in previous quarters. It expects that these reserves will return towards prior levels as certain loan situations are resolved, and economic and market conditions improve.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
Total assets have remained steady at $2.7 billion during 2009. Strong originations of commercial loans and home equity loans have partially offset runoff of residential mortgages and indirect auto loans. Deposit growth has benefited from the 100% insurance that Berkshire provides on all deposit balances. Deposit growth has funded increases in high quality investment securities, and the Company has not recorded any write-downs of investment securities during the year. Additionally, the Company has paid down borrowings and is well positioned to support continued growth in targeted areas. A second quarter common stock issuance raised $32 million and the Company redeemed $40 million of U.S. Treasury preferred stock, and has no funded participation in any federal stimulus programs.
Berkshire produced strong growth of $83 million (8%) in commercial loans in 2009, including growth of $30 million (11% annualized) in the fourth quarter, excluding net charge-offs. Berkshire produced a record volume of residential mortgages in 2009, responding to the high refinancing demand in its markets from residents eager to take advantage of lower rates resulting from federal stimulus. Berkshire increased its share in its major markets. Most of this low fixed rate mortgage volume was sold to federal agencies, and as a result the Company recorded runoff from its residential mortgage portfolio. Berkshire also produced a $27 million (13%) increase in 2009 in home equity and other outstandings, including the benefit of pricing promotions in the first half of the year. The balance of indirect auto loans continues to decline as the Company allows this portfolio to runoff.
Total investment securities increased by $21 million in the fourth quarter and $79 million for the year. The fourth quarter increase was due to locally originated tax exempt revenue bonds to area institutions. Most of the investment portfolio growth in 2009 related to the purchase of short duration government agency issued mortgage backed securities and corporate debt securities purchased to absorb liquidity in the low rate environment, pending further loan portfolio growth in 2010 and beyond.
Total deposits increased by $157 million (9%) for the year and by $20 million (4% annualized) in the fourth quarter. Growth in 2009 was concentrated in demand deposits ($44 million, 19%) and money market deposits ($85 million, 19%), reflecting Berkshire’s emphasis on relationship promotions. By emphasizing lower cost non-maturity deposits and lowering time deposit costs, Berkshire has reduced the cost of its deposits in order to offset the impact of lower asset yields in the current low interest rate environment. Deposit growth has been highest in Berkshire’s New York market, reflecting ongoing market share growth resulting from Berkshire’s de novo expansion in this attractive region. Deposit growth was channeled into improved liquidity for the Company, including higher investment securities and lower borrowings. The ratio of loans/deposits stood at 99% at year-end.

Tangible common equity measured $14.98 per share at year-end 2009, compared to $15.73 at the end of the prior year. Total common equity measured $27.64 per share at year-end 2009 compared to $30.33 at year-end 2008. The Company’s ratio of tangible common equity to assets measured a strong 8.3% at year-end 2009, which was up from 7.6% at the prior year-end. The ratio of total common equity to assets was 14.2% at year-end 2009 compared to 13.8% a year earlier. Berkshire Bank’s risk based capital measured 11% at year-end 2009 and the Bank exceeded all capital measures for the “Well Capitalized” regulatory classification.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Berkshire took actions to manage the impacts of the recession and financial markets on its operations in 2009. The Company stepped up its lending to its markets to provide needed financing resources as various national providers pulled back from the region. Federal stimulus activities resulted in near zero interest rates, which reduced the Company’s net interest margin, but Berkshire absorbed this impact rather than booking fixed rate assets which could hurt income in future periods when stimulus is removed. The Company also absorbed the impact of increases in premiums and assessments charged by the FDIC to all insured banks. Berkshire created the new Integrated Services division and re-engineered its insurance group to improve sales and service delivery and enhance profitability in light of current market conditions, while positioning itself better for regional expansion. The Company has made several important recent hires relating to its New York leadership, new asset based lending team, retail management, private banking, and wealth management — as well as the Chief Risk Officer position described in this release. With the contribution from these many initiatives, the Company expects to boost revenues and earnings in 2010.
As a result of the previously discussed loan charges, the Company reported a net loss in the fourth quarter and full year of 2009. Fourth quarter results were also impacted by a $2.1 million charge to non-interest income for the prepayment of borrowings and approximately $2.0 million in non-interest expenses related to the Company’s initiatives. The borrowing prepayment allowed the Company to substitute low cost overnight borrowings for longer term higher cost borrowings, with an earn-back expected in 2010 and 2011. Before the impact of the above items, Berkshire’s core revenue and non-interest expense were generally consistent with the expectations in its prior guidance of $0.15 earnings per share for the fourth quarter. Per share results also reflected additional shares outstanding as a result of stock issuances, along with the impact of dividend charges on preferred stock which was repaid to the U. S. Treasury in the second quarter of 2009.
The net interest margin continued to rebound in the fourth quarter, improving to 3.05% from 2.91% in the second quarter. Together with the benefit of higher earning assets, net interest income grew by 5% in the fourth quarter, compared to the prior quarter. In addition to low interest rates, market deposit interest rate floors and runoff of mortgage and auto loans have also pressured margins. Income was also reduced by the elimination in 2009 of dividends from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston; these dividends totaled $0.8 million in 2008.

Fourth quarter fee income of $6.1 million was unchanged compared to the prior year. This was an improvement from the 7% decrease for the full year mainly due to the impact of the recession and market pricing conditions in the first half of 2009. Berkshire’s insurance group was re-engineered to improve profitability to help offset the continuing impact of these pricing conditions on revenues. In wealth management, assets under management totaled $670 million at year-end 2009, unchanged from 2008. Total full year banking fees (including deposit and loan fees) increased 2% from year-to-year. The loan loss provision increased in 2009 due primarily due to the higher fourth quarter loan charge-offs and the increase in the loan loss allowance that were previously discussed.
Before the previously discussed expenses of the Company’s initiatives, fourth quarter non-interest expense was $19.2 million which was generally in line with the Company’s expectations and reflected a $0.3 million increase from the linked quarter due to seasonal factors and the new asset based lending team. The fourth quarter expenses of the Company’s initiatives totaled $2.0 million including professional and legal fees, along with sign-on and severance compensation related to the previously discussed initiatives. For the year 2009, total non-interest expense increased by $6.9 million (10%) due primarily to the fourth quarter increases discussed above, along with the $3.8 million full year increase in FDIC insurance expense (including a $1.3 million special industry assessment in the second quarter). The Company has recorded an income tax benefit in the fourth quarter and the full year due primarily to the impact of the loan loss provision on operating results.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
Statements in this news release regarding Berkshire Hills Bancorp that are not historical facts are “forward-looking statements”. These statements reflect management’s views of future events, and involve risks and uncertainties. For a discussion of factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations, see “Forward Looking Statements” in the Company’s 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, which are available at the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Internet website (www.sec.gov) and to which reference is hereby made. Actual future results may differ significantly from results discussed in these forward-looking statements, and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Except as required by law, the Company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
This news release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures in addition to results presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). These non-GAAP measures provide supplemental perspectives on operating results, performance trends, and financial condition. They are not a substitute for GAAP measures; they should be read and used in conjunction with the Company’s GAAP financial information. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP measures is included in the accompanying financial tables. In all cases, it should be understood that non-GAAP per share measures do not depict amounts that accrue directly to the benefit of shareholders. The Company utilizes the non-GAAP measure of core earnings in evaluating operating trends, including components for core revenue and expense. These measures exclude amounts which the Company views as unrelated to its normalized operations, including merger costs and restructuring costs. Similarly, the efficiency ratio is also adjusted for these non-core items. Additionally, the Company adjusts core income to exclude amortization of intangibles to arrive at a measure of the underlying operating cash return for the benefit of stockholders. The Company also adjusts certain equity related measures to exclude intangible assets due to the importance of these measures to the investment community. In the first quarter of 2009, the Company adjusted core earnings per share and core return on tangible common equity to be net of preferred stock dividends. These measures were not adjusted in this manner in the second quarter of 2009. The second quarter deemed dividend was a nonrecurring non-cash charge with no impact on stockholders’ equity and did not reflect a core economic event in the Company’s view. Additionally, the Company held cash at near-zero interest rates in the second quarter while it awaited the approval of the U.S. Treasury to repay the preferred stock. Accordingly, the preferred stock cash dividend and accretion charges were viewed by the Company as non-core one-time charges against income available to common stockholders related to the process of repaying the preferred stock. In the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company described loan charges and expenses related to its fourth quarter initiatives, and discussed earnings before these charges in order to provide more information about how earnings results compared to its earlier guidance.
