PEOPLES BANCORP INC. REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER
AND 2007 RESULTS
_____________________________________________________________________
MARIETTA, Ohio - Peoples Bancorp Inc. (“Peoples”) (NASDAQ: PEBO) announced fourth quarter 2007 net income of $2.2 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, compared to $4.8 million, or $0.44, for the fourth quarter of 2006. For 2007, net income totaled $18.3 million or $1.74 per diluted share compared to $21.6 million or $2.01 per diluted share for 2006.
The lower earnings for both the fourth quarter and full year 2007 were impacted by a $5.5 million ($3.6 million after-tax or $0.34 per diluted share) other-than-temporary impairment charge related to investments in certain securities, including preferred stocks issued by the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”) and collateralized debt obligation (“CDO”) investments. This non-cash charge for other-than-temporary impairment is comprised of a $1.3 million charge related to Fannie Mae preferred stock previously carried at $6.8 million, a $1.9 million charge related to Freddie Mac preferred stock previously carried at $8.5 million, a $0.1 million charge related to a single bank holding company stock held by Peoples previously carried at $0.2 million and a $2.2 million charge related to three CDO investment securities previously carried at $7.9 million. This charge was partially offset by a $782,000 ($508,000 after-tax) reduction in franchise tax expense resulting from the adjustment to Peoples’ tax reserves to reflect the settlement agreement with the Tax Commissioner of the State of Ohio resolving certain controversies concerning Peoples’ Ohio corporation franchise tax liabilities and associated calculations for the 2002 through 2008 tax years (Fiscal years 2001-2007).
“Market values of certain investments have decreased due to increased risks within the broader credit market and erratic market liquidity,” said Mark F. Bradley, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Peoples Bancorp's capital levels mitigate the negative impact of the resulting other-than-temporary impairment charge.”
Bradley continued, “Without the impairment charges, our results in 2007 reflect success in diversifying revenues, improving operating efficiency and reducing our reliance on net interest income. Revenue growth was strong and net loan charge-offs decreased. Additionally, dividends increased 6% to $0.88 per share in 2007, marking our 42nd consecutive year of dividend growth.”
Net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2007 was $13.9 million, up 6% from $13.2 million for the third quarter. During the same period, net interest margin improved 14 basis points to 3.40%. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2006, net interest income increased 3% and net interest margin expanded 9 basis points in the fourth quarter of 2007. These improvements were the result of management’s efforts to reduce Peoples’ funding costs by reducing certain deposit rates and taking advantage of lower cost funding available in the market place in response to the Federal Reserve’s actions to decrease short-term interest rates and improved yield in two separate pools of loans acquired in acquisitions during 2002 and 2003. For 2007, net interest income totaled $53.9 million compared to $53.2 million in 2006, while net interest margin expanded slightly to 3.32% from 3.29%.
“While the lower interest rate environment helped us reduce funding costs in the fourth quarter, asset yields have also declined from the repricing of prime-based loans and new loans being originated at lower rates,” said Carol A. Schneeberger, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer. “However, we successfully grew earning asset levels during the quarter, which offset much of the impact of the lower loan yields.”
In the fourth quarter of 2007, total non-interest income was $7.6 million compared to $7.4 million a year ago. In 2007, non-interest income totaled $31.4 million, up from $30.4 million in 2006. The majority of these increases resulted from higher trust and investment income, which increased 16% for the fourth quarter and 17% for the year. Since year-end 2006, Peoples has experienced a 10% gain in the dollar value of assets under management, attributable to the addition of

seasoned sales personnel, coupled with an increase in cross sales from retail banking operations. Another contributing factor to non-interest income growth was increased e-banking revenues, which were up 16% and 14% compared to the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2006, respectively, reflecting steady volume increases in customer debit card activity.
“Non-interest income growth occurred in 2007 as a result of our efforts in recent years to diversify revenues,” said Schneeberger. “Among the successes was strong production from our insurance agency that allowed total insurance commission income to remain stable, despite lower pricing margins in the insurance industry and annual performance based commissions. We expect our renewed commitment to customer-focused delivery of financial services will continue to increase cross-sale opportunities, which in turn enhances the customer experience and contributes to additional non-interest revenues.”Total non-interest expense decreased 4% in the fourth quarter of 2007, totaling $12.4 million versus $12.9 million, largely attributable to the reduction in franchise tax expense, tempered by increases in sales-based compensation and bankcard costs, which correspond to the higher insurance and investment income and e-banking revenue, and higher software licensing and support costs. In 2007, non-interest expense was essentially flat totaling $51.5 million, as higher salaries and benefit costs were offset by reductions in other operating expenses. Consequently, Peoples’ efficiency ratio improved to 57.1% in 2007, versus 57.5% in 2006.
In 2007, Peoples’ effective tax rate was 23.3%, down from 25.8% for the first nine months of 2007 and 26.7% for 2006. The reduction in the effective tax rate was attributable to utilization of additional tax credits in 2007, coupled with a reduction in pre-tax income without a corresponding decline in tax-exempt income. In 2008, management expects a modest increase in Peoples’ effective tax rate from a lower utilization of tax credits.
Gross portfolio loan balances were $1.12 billion at December 31, 2007, up $14.3 million since the prior quarter-end from commercial mortgage loan growth. However, significant commercial and commercial mortgage loan payoffs throughout most of the year resulted in portfolio loan balances falling $11.5 million since year-end 2006. Peoples’ serviced loan portfolio totaled $176.7 million, up 9% since year-end 2006.
“We are pleased to report loan growth in the fourth quarter,” added Schneeberger. “Our continued focus on loan quality, coupled with the possibility of additional payoffs, is expected to make loan growth in the near term difficult.”
In the fourth quarter of 2007, Peoples’ provision for loan losses was $1.5 million versus $1.0 million in the third quarter and $1.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2006. For the year, the provision for loan losses totaled $4.0 million in 2007, up from $3.6 million in 2006. The provision for loan losses is based on management’s quarterly evaluation of the loan portfolio and is directionally consistent with changes in Peoples’ overall loan quality. At December 31, 2007, non-performing loans totaled $9.4 million, or 0.83% of total loans, compared to $6.2 million, or 0.56%, at September 30, 2007 and $10.0 million, or 0.88%, at year-end 2006. The allowance for loan losses was $15.7 million, or 168.0% of nonperforming loans, at year-end 2007, versus $14.6 million, or 237.3%, at September 30, 2007, and $14.5 million, or 145.0%, at December 31, 2006. Nonaccrual loans increased $3.0 million from September 30, 2007 but are relatively unchanged from December 31, 2006.
In the fourth quarter of 2007, net loan charge-offs were $446,000, down from $1.0 million last quarter, due mostly to a reduction in commercial loan charge-offs. Compared to the prior year, fourth quarter net loan charge-offs decreased substantially from $3.5 million, which was attributable to Peoples charging-off $2.9 million of impaired loans related to a single commercial loan relationship a year ago. For the year, net loan charge-offs totaled $2.8 million in 2007 versus $3.8 million in 2006.
“We believe Peoples sustained overall loan quality in 2007,” stated Schneeberger. “Many of the losses incurred in recent periods were due to credit declines in a limited number of loan relationships.. Additionally, total loan delinquencies have been at reasonable levels although we have seen a recent rise in both the dollar amount and number of loans 30 days or greater past due. We are confident that our loan review process will continue to identify problem loans in a timely manner.”
Retail deposit balances, which exclude brokered deposits, grew $22.4 million since December 31, 2006 with interest-bearing retail balances rising $18.3 million in 2007, due to money market and interest-bearing demand balances increasing 14% and 13%, respectively. Non-interest-bearing deposits also grew $4.1 million in 2007, due to higher commercial deposit balances.
In 2007, Peoples repurchased 463,600 common shares at an average price of $26.21, under previously announced stock repurchase plans. This compares to 37,800 common shares repurchased in 2006, at an average price of $28.35.
“In 2007, operating results improved due to core deposit growth, net interest margin improvement, revenue growth through customer service and controlled expense growth,” summarized Bradley. “Given the uncertainty that exists in the financial markets and the economy as a whole, which can impact loan quality in 2008, we will continue to focus on earnings quality and conservative growth.”
