MARIETTA, Ohio - Peoples Bancorp Inc. (“Peoples”) (NASDAQ: PEBO) today announced results for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. Net income totaled $4.9 million for the second quarter of 2013, representing earnings per diluted share of $0.46. In comparison, net income was $5.0 million or $0.47 per diluted share for both the first quarter of 2013 and the second quarter of 2012. On a year-to-date basis, net income totaled $9.9 million, or $0.93 per diluted share, through June 30, 2013, versus $11.7 million, or $1.10 per diluted share, a year ago.

"We are pleased to report improved operating results for the second quarter and good progress toward achieving our 2013 goals," said Chuck Sulerzyski, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Our revenue generation gained momentum with 20% annualized growth in period-end loan balances during the quarter. Fee-based revenues remained strong due largely to acquisition activity. Operating expenses were held in line with our targeted level for the year. Asset quality continued to improve at a faster pace than expected. Our earnings benefited from this positive trend, along with another sizable recovery in the second quarter."

Sulerzyski continued, "Also during the quarter, our disciplined efforts in the area of bank acquisitions resulted in our entering into an agreement to acquire a bank in a highly attractive banking market in northern Ohio. We are excited to expand our footprint in the greater Cleveland region where we believe meaningful growth opportunities exist. As our management team works to finalize this transaction, we look forward to offering an expanded array of products and services to clients in the region."

Earlier this month, Peoples announced that its banking subsidiary, Peoples Bank, National Association ("Peoples Bank"), had signed a definitive agreement to acquire all of the outstanding stock of Ohio Commerce Bank ("Ohio Commerce") located in Beachwood, Ohio. This all-cash transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals and Ohio Commerce shareholder approval, and is anticipated to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2013. At such time, Ohio Commerce's sole office will become a branch of Peoples Bank. Peoples anticipates this transaction will add nearly $90 million in loans and $95 million in deposits and be accretive to 2014 earnings.

Net interest income was $13.2 million for the second quarter of 2013 and net interest margin was 3.15%, both representing improvements over the linked quarter. Peoples' overall earning asset yield benefited from modestly higher average loan balances during the second quarter. In contrast, total funding costs decreased 4 basis points due to a continued shift from high-cost deposits. Year-over-year, Peoples' net interest income and margin were lower for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. The extended low interest rate environment continued to place downward pressure on asset yields during this time period due to the reinvestment of funds at lower interest rates.

"Bothnet interest income and margin were in line with our expectations for the second quarter," said Edward Sloane, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer. "Asset yields remained relatively stable during the quarter due to loan growth, coupled with a full quarter's benefit of the investment portfolio repositioning completed late last quarter. As we start the third quarter, the moderate yield curve steepening that occurred in June should further stabilize asset yields. Loan growth also remains the key to our ability to grow net interest income."

Total non-interest income was up 8% in the second quarter and 4% for the first half of 2013, compared to the same periods in 2012. The majority of the increases was the result of acquisitions completed during the last year within Peoples' insurance and investment businesses. This growth was partially offset by lower mortgage banking income due to fewer loans being sold in the secondary market. Year-over-year, insurance income was up 32% for the quarter and 13% on a year-to-date basis, while trust and investment income increased by 22% and 18%, respectively. Compared to the linked quarter, total non-interest income increased 2% in the second quarter, due mostly to higher insurance sales revenue. Insurance commission revenue grew 28% during the second quarter, which was primarily the result of normal seasonality of policy renewals. Other significant factors were three acquisitions completed early in the second quarter, plus industry-wide increases in premiums. The increased commission revenue more than offset the impact of performance-based income recognized annually in the first quarter. As a result, total insurance income was up 12% from the linked quarter.

Non-interest expenses totaled $16.4 million for the second quarter of 2013, higher than the linked quarter but consistent with Peoples' previous guidance. Nearly half of the linked quarter increase was the result of a $100,000 contribution to Peoples' private charitable foundation in the second quarter. Compared to the prior year, second quarter total non-interest expense was 5% higher in 2013 due in large part to operating costs associated with acquisitions completed during the last year and Peoples Bank's new Vienna (WV) branch. Peoples also has incurred additional expenses in 2013 from various strategic investments to grow revenue over the past year, such as adding new talent and the branch remodeling project. For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, total salary and employee benefit costs were up 6% over the same periods last year, due to higher base wages and sales compensation. At June 30, 2013, the number of full-time equivalent employees was 545 versus 494 a year ago. Most of this increase was due to growth in the company from acquisitions and the new branch. The increase in compensation expense due to the higher head count and annual salary increases was tempered by lower employee benefit costs related to the timing of pension settlement charges. In the second quarter of 2012, Peoples incurred $353,000 of pension settlement charges associated with lump sum distributions. No such charges were incurred in the first half of 2013 since lump sum distributions have not yet exceeded the required recognition threshold. Other operating costs generally have been contained due to Peoples' ongoing expense management.

"Our revenue stream continued to benefit from double-digit increases within our fee-based businesses," said Sulerzyski. "While acquisitions have been a main driver of this growth, our insurance commission revenue is benefiting from increased cross-selling activity and higher pricing margins within the industry. On the expense side, we have remained disciplined with our operating costs with the goal of growing revenue faster than expenses."

In the second quarter of 2013, gross portfolio loan balances grew $49.7 million, or 20% on an annualized basis, to $1.03 billion at June 30, 2013. Peoples continued to experience strong growth in non-mortgage consumer loans during the second quarter, with period-end balances up $10.7 million or 39% on an annualized basis. Residential mortgage loan balances, including lines of credit, also increased $16.7 million during the quarter, while total commercial loan balances

grew $24.6 million. These increases resulted in $24.5 million higher average balances for the quarter compared to the linked quarter.

“As we anticipated, meaningful growth in loan balances occurred during the second quarter within each segment of the portfolio,” said Sulerzyski. "A portion of the commercial loan growth was the result of advances on previously approved construction loans. In the consumer portfolio, the majority of the second quarter growth came from our indirect lending business where we recently added new talent to boost production. Residential mortgage balances also benefited from our decision to retain a portion of our new production on our balance sheet rather than sell the loans in the secondary market. We are pleased with the progress made in the second quarter toward achieving our goal of 8% to 10% loan growth in 2013."

Peoples' asset quality improved further during the second quarter of 2013, with several key metrics maintaining their favorable trends. Total nonperforming assets decreased 15% to $10.8 million at June 30, 2013. As a result, nonperforming assets were 1.04% of total loans plus other real estate owned ("OREO") at June 30, 2013 versus 1.28% at March 31, 2013. Total criticized loans, which are those classified as watch, substandard or doubtful, also decreased $8.8 million, or 12% during quarter. The reductions in both nonperforming and criticized assets occurred primarily as a result of paydowns on nonaccrual commercial loans. Since year-end 2012, nonperforming assets have declined by 27%, while total criticized loans have decreased by 27%.

For the second consecutive quarter, gross recoveries exceeded gross charge-offs due to a single $1.0 million recovery on a commercial real estate loan. Through the first six months of 2013, total gross recoveries have exceeded charge-offs by $1.8 million. The combination of net recoveries and continued improvement in asset quality in the first half of 2013 led Peoples to decrease the allowance for loan losses to 1.66% of total loans at June 30, 2013. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.78% at March 31, 2013, 1.81% at year-end 2012 and 2.09% at June 30, 2012. In contrast, Peoples' allowance for loan losses grew as a percentage of nonperforming loans during the second quarter. At June 30, 2013, the allowance was 160.8% of nonperforming loans versus 128.9% at year-end 2012 and 119.9% at June 30, 2012.

"Our credit team continues to be diligent in recovering amounts previously considered uncollectible," said Sloane. "At the same time, we have remained successful in reducing the level of problem loans without incurring significant losses. These diligent efforts have been key drivers of the reserve releases thus far in 2013, which directly benefited our bottom-line earnings. We are encouraged by recent asset quality trends, with key metrics approaching their pre-crisis levels. Our adherence to sound underwriting standards while growing loans should ensure a high quality portfolio over the long term."

At June 30, 2013, Peoples' retail deposit balances were down $90.9 million compared to the prior quarter. Most of this decrease was due to lower money market balances, combined with a normal seasonal decline in governmental deposits. Money market deposits were impacted by a reduction in balances from Peoples' trust customers. Since late 2008, Peoples has maintained larger than historical amounts of trust funds as the ultra-low rate environment limited short-term investment options within the money markets. Non-interest-bearing deposit balances decreased $15.8 million during the second quarter but remained $8.1 million higher than year-end 2012. The second quarter decline was primarily the result of a single commercial customer maintaining an abnormally high balance at March 31, 2013. Overall, total non-interest-bearing deposits comprised 22.6% of Peoples' total deposits, up from 21.2% at December 31, 2012. The lower deposit balances, coupled with loan growth, drove an increase in borrowed funds compared to prior periods.

"Overall, second quarter results were very good with success along several fronts," summarized Sulerzyski. "We also made progress in growing the company through strategic acquisitions. The banking industry continues to face major challenges. However, the entire company remains focused on flawlessly executing our strategies designed to benefit our customers and generate long-term shareholder value."

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This news release contains financial information and performance measures determined by methods other than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). Management uses these "non-GAAP" measures in its analysis of Peoples' performance and the efficiency of its operations. Management believes that these non-GAAP measures provide a greater understanding of ongoing operations and enhance comparability of results with prior periods and peers. These disclosures should not be viewed as substitutes for financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. Below is a listing of the types of non-GAAP measures used in this news release:

◦ Tangible assets and tangible equity measures are non-GAAP since they exclude the impact of intangible assets acquired through acquisitions on both total stockholders’ equity and total assets and the related amortization from earnings.

◦ Pre-provision net revenue is defined as net interest income plus non-interest income minus non-interest expense. This measure is non-GAAP since it excludes provision for loan losses and all gains and/or losses included in earnings.

A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is included at the end of this news release under the caption of "Non-GAAP Financial Measures".
