WesBanco Announces Increased First Quarter 2007 Results
Wheeling, WV… Paul M. Limbert, President and Chief Executive Officer of WesBanco, Inc., (NASDAQ: WSBC) a Wheeling, West Virginia based multi-state bank holding company, today announced increased earnings for the first quarter ended March 31, 2007.
Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 was $11.9 million, an increase of $6.3 million over the $5.6 million of net income in the first quarter of 2006, while diluted earnings per share for the quarter were $0.56 per share compared to $0.25 per share for 2006. First quarter results showed improvement primarily as a result of a reduced loan loss provision and increases in non-interest income. In addition, improvement in the net interest margin from the 2006 balance sheet repositioning, limited the first quarter overall reduction in net interest income in a period of an inverted yield curve and highly competitive loan and deposit markets, which continue to present industry-wide challenges On a diluted per share basis, core operating earnings were $0.53 per share for the quarter, a 26.2% increase over $0.42 per share in 2006. Net income for the first quarter of 2007 included a $0.6 million after-tax gain from the recognition of a deferred gain on the sale of certain real property in 2004, and for 2006 included a $4.8 million after-tax loss arising in connection with the balance sheet repositioning, a $1.5 million net after-tax gain from the sale of four branches and $0.3 million net after-tax expense from the restructuring of certain mortgage operations.
“Results for the first quarter significantly improved over the first quarter of 2006 as a result of a 16 basis point improvement in the net interest margin to 3.56%, increases in non-interest income and a decrease in non-performing loans supporting a decrease in the loan loss provision,” stated Mr. Limbert. “Quality in our investment and loan portfolios supported by management of liability costs has provided improved profitability. In addition, a current non-interest income revenue enhancement program has provided increases to certain categories of fee income.”
“Our branch optimization program will continue in the second quarter of 2007 when we will open a new office in Gahanna (Columbus), OH replacing an older, existing facility in the same vicinity, and we have started construction on a new banking center in the Highlands development between Wheeling, WV and Washington, PA,” said Mr. Limbert. “These new facilities will serve to enhance WesBanco’s presence in these markets and further improve customer service.”

Highlights for the first quarter of 2007:
| · | Net interest income for the first quarter decreased $1.0 million or 3.2% compared to the first quarter of 2006 as a result of the flat yield curve environment experienced by the banking industry and an intentional repositioning and reduction in the size of the balance sheet in 2006. Despite the shape of the yield curve, the net interest margin for the first quarter increased to 3.56%, as compared to 3.40% in the first quarter 2006 and 3.49% for the fourth quarter of 2006. This was accomplished in part from both the balance sheet repositioning and controlled deposit cost increases, enhanced somewhat by loan yield increases and average balance increases in non-interest bearing deposit accounts. |
| · | The increase in non-interest income was $7.8 million compared to the first quarter of 2006, but $1.3 million or 11.5% excluding the effects of the non core 2007 $1.0 million deferred gain recognized on the sale of a former branch facility which the Company sold and financed in 2004 and has now realized sufficient pay down in the associated receivable to qualify for gain recognition, and for 2006, the $8.0 million loss associated with WesBanco’s balance sheet repositioning and gain of $2.5 million on the sale of the Ritchie County branches. The increase in core earnings was due to higher trust fees of $0.3 million, improved revenues in the securities brokerage business line of $0.3 million, increased mortgage banking income from sales to the secondary market of $0.3 million and $0.7 million in security sale gains. |
| · | The provision for loan losses decreased $1.2 million in the first quarter of 2007 as compared to first quarter 2006 primarily due to lower levels of non-performing loans which decreased by 24.9% from December 31, 2006, however the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans increased to 1.12% at March 31, 2007, from 1.10% at the end of the first quarter of 2006. Non-performing loans decreased primarily through payoffs and improvements in loan quality. Net charge-offs to average loans increased to 0.24% for the 2007 quarter as compared to 0.18% for the first quarter of 2006,. |
| · | Non-interest expense decreased $0.4 million or 1.6% compared to the first quarter of 2006. The decrease was primarily due to a $0.5 million decrease in marketing costs and a $0.5 million charge in 2006 relating to the restructuring of certain mortgage banking operations. These decreases were partially offset by a $0.5 million increase in salaries and health benefit costs in the first quarter of 2007. Full-time equivalent employees were approximately the same at March 31, 2007 as compared to the prior year. The decrease in marketing expenses was due to campaigns in 2006, which increased total checking and savings accounts and related service charge and overdraft fee income. A new marketing campaign is planned for the spring targeting demand deposit accounts and home equity loans. |
| · | The provision for income taxes increased $2.1 million compared to the first quarter of 2006 due to an increase in pre-tax income and an increase in the effective tax rate. For 2007 the effective tax rate increased to 22.3% as compared to 19.6% in the first quarter of 2006 due primarily to a lower percentage of tax-exempt income to total income. |
| · | Total loans at March 31, 2007 decreased $92.2 million or 3.1% compared to March 31, 2006 due to planned decreases in residential real estate loans and, to a lesser degree, increased payoffs of commercial and home equity loans. Loan growth over the last year was impacted by a decreased retention of fixed rate residential real estate loans in the portfolio as compared to sales to the secondary market, reduced market opportunities for first mortgages and home equity loans in the higher interest rate environment, certain loan paydowns particularly in construction lending, and a focus on obtaining appropriate interest rate spreads on new loans in a more competitive lending environment. |

| · | Total deposits were relatively flat in the first quarter of 2007 as compared to the prior year primarily due to increases in certificates of deposit and interest bearing demand deposits mostly offset by decreases in other deposit categories. The 3.9% increase in certificates of deposit was due to growth in retail sales and from sales of a new Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service (CDARS)® product marketed as an alternative to certain customer repurchase agreements or to replace other wholesale borrowings when conditions warranted. Interest bearing demand deposits increased 8.3% due to a new product offering for certain municipal accounts. Money market and savings accounts decreased as customers in a rising rate environment reinvested in short- and intermediate-term certificates of deposit, and non-bank products. |
| · | FHLB and other short-term borrowings decreased from $812.2 million as of March 31, 2006, prior to $526.0 million at March 31, 2007, a $286.2 million or 35.2% reduction. These borrowings as a percent of total assets decreased to 13.0% from 18.7% at the end of the 2006 first quarter. Likewise, total investment securities have dropped since the 2006 first quarter from $936.0 million to $743.1 million, a 20.6% decrease, primarily due to the repositioning and sales from the available-for-sale portfolio, as well as continued maturities and pay-downs. In the current interest rate environment WesBanco has reduced its overall wholesale leverage position, deciding instead to reduce FHLB borrowings with the proceeds from sales and maturities and using the available cash and improved tangible leverage capital position to repurchase its common stock. The tangible equity leverage ratio increased from 6.38% at March 31, 2006 to 6.88% at March 31, 2007. |
| · | In the first quarter of 2007, WesBanco’s dividend rate was increased 3.8% to $0.275 per share on a quarterly basis, up from the rate for the previous quarter of $0.265 per share. During the quarter, Mergent, Inc. recognized WesBanco as one of its “Mergent’s Dividend Achievers®” for 2007. As such, WesBanco is one of just 3% of all U.S. publicly listed companies to meet Mergent’s stringent criteria, including successfully delivering dividend increases to shareholders for 10 or more years. WesBanco has increased dividends over the last 22 consecutive years. |
| · | For the quarter ended March 31, 2007, WesBanco repurchased a total of 560,253 common shares at an average price of $31.55 per share. WesBanco has 69,745 shares remaining for repurchase under the current repurchase plan approved by the Board of Directors in January 2006, and 1,000,000 shares under a new plan approved in March 2007. |

| Note: This press release contains financial information other than that provided by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Company’s management believes these Non-GAAP measurements, which exclude the effects of merger-related and restructuring expenses, are essential to a proper understanding of the operating results of the Company’s core business largely because they allow investors to see clearly the performance of the Company without the restructuring charges included in certain key financial ratios. These Non-GAAP measurements are not a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP nor do they necessarily conform to Non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. These Non-GAAP measures should not be compared to Non-GAAP performance measures of other companies. |
