Community Trust Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ-CTBI) reports earnings for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 of $10.5 million or $0.69 per basic share compared to $8.9 million or $0.58 per share earned during the quarter ended June 30, 2007 and $9.9 million or $0.65 per share earned during the third quarter of 2006. Earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 were $27.4 million or $1.80 per share compared to $29.5 million or $1.96 per share earned for the first nine months of 2006.
Third Quarter 2007 Highlights
v | CTBI's basic earnings per share for the third quarter 2007 increased 19.0% from prior quarter and 6.2% from prior year third quarter. Year-to-date earnings per share, however, decreased 8.2% from the nine months ended September 30, 2006. |
v | Current quarter earnings were impacted by the receipt of a $1.2 million fee in relation to the termination of the acquisition of Eagle Fidelity, Inc. and the reversal of an employee incentive accrual in the amount of $1.5 million. |
v | CTBI repurchased 196,500 shares of its common stock during the third quarter 2007, leaving 382,019 shares remaining under CTBI's current repurchase authorization. |
v | Core earnings for the quarter and YTD 2007 continue to reflect the pressure on our net interest income as CTBI continues operating within the inverted yield curve. |
v | Nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans at September 30, 2007 were 1.41%, an increase of $7.6 million over prior quarter and a $15.9 million increase from same period prior year. The quarter over quarter increase in nonperforming loans is driven by the residential real estate development market in Central Kentucky and consists of three borrowing relationships. The relationships have been thoroughly analyzed and appropriate reserves established for any potential loss. The accounts are in the process of collection and we anticipate minimal loss. |
v | Our loan portfolio grew at an annualized rate of 3.5% during the quarter and 3.7% from September 30, 2006. |
v | Our investment portfolio declined 15.2% from prior quarter and 14.5% from prior year resulting from the payment of a $40 million FHLB advance and a decline in deposits which were funded through the sale of auction rate securities. The FHLB advance was acquired in the third quarter 2004 to fund growth in our investment portfolio. |
v | Our efficiency ratio improved significantly during the third quarter 2007 as a result of the acquisition termination fee and the reversal of the incentive accrual. |
Net Interest Income
As anticipated by management, our net interest margin remained stable during the third quarter 2007. Our quarterly net interest margin remained at 3.86%, the same as prior quarter, but was a decrease of 22 basis points from the third quarter 2006. Our year-to-date net interest margin has declined 19 basis points from the first nine months of 2006.
Net interest income for the quarter remained at $26.6 million, the same as prior quarter, but decreased 3.2% from prior year third quarter, as the yield on average earnings assets increased 2 basis points from September 2006 to September 2007 in comparison to the 33 basis point increase in the cost of interest bearing funds. Year-to-date net interest income has decreased 2.4% compared to the first nine months of 2006. Average earning assets have increased 2.5% year over year.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income for the third quarter 2007 remained relatively stable to prior quarter after normalizing for the receipt of a $1.2 million fee associated with the termination of the Eagle Fidelity, Inc. acquisition, but increased 6.6% normalized from the third quarter 2006. Year-to-date noninterest income normalized increased more than 9% from the nine months ended September 30, 2006, with increases in gains on sales of loans, deposit service charges, trust revenue, and loan related fees.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense for the quarter decreased 7.7% from prior quarter as a result of the reversal of an employee incentive accrual. Year-to-date noninterest expense, however, increased 4.8% as the third quarter accrual reversal was offset by the first quarter charge related to unamortized debt issuance costs with the redemption of trust preferred securities.
Balance Sheet Review
CTBI’s total assets decreased $71.7 million or 2.4% from prior quarter, resulting from the payoff a $40 million FHLB advance and a decline in deposits which were funded through the sale of auction rate securities. Total assets have increased $34.8 million or 1.2% year over year. Loans outstanding at September 30, 2007 were $2.2 billion reflecting a $19.4 million, annualized 3.5%, increase during the quarter, and an $80.4 million or 3.7% increase year over year. CTBI's investment portfolio decreased $74.7 million from prior quarter and $70.4 million from prior year third quarter. Deposits, including repurchase agreements, declined $39.7 million, an annualized 6.3%, during the quarter as CTBI continued its focus on managing deposit growth and pricing controls due to its liquidity position. Deposits have increased 1.7% year over year.
Shareholders’ equity of $294.9 million on September 30, 2007 was an annualized increase of 4.4% from June 30, 2007 and a 7.3% increase from September 30, 2006. CTBI's annualized dividend yield to shareholders as of September 30, 2007 was 3.60%.
Asset Quality
Nonperforming loans at September 30, 2007 were $31.5 million compared to $23.9 million at June 30, 2007 and $15.7 million at September 30, 2006. All nonperforming loans are individually reviewed with specific reserves established when appropriate. The increase in nonperforming loans is driven primarily by three relationships related to residential development. We anticipate nonperforming loans to remain higher than recent history as the normal legal collection time period for real estate secured assets has been slowed due to increased volumes in the industry. Our loan portfolio management processes focus on maintaining appropriate reserves for potential losses.
Foreclosed properties at September 30, 2007 of $6.6 million were a $2.7 million increase from the $3.9 million on both June 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006. The increase was driven by a $2.6 million increase in single family residential properties from our Central Kentucky Region where the market has softened. The market has not experienced deflation in residential real estate, but the time on the market before sale has extended.
Net loan charge-offs for the quarter of $1.7 million, or 0.30% of average loans annualized, was an increase from prior quarter's 0.23% of average loans annualized and from the 0.29% from prior year third quarter. Net loan charge-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 of 0.23% of average loans annualized was a decrease from the 0.29% for the first nine months of 2006. Our reserve for losses on loans as a percentage of total loans outstanding at September 30, 2007 remained at 1.25% from prior quarter, a decrease from the 1.30% at September 30, 2006. The adequacy of our reserve for losses on loans is analyzed quarterly and adjusted as necessary.
