CITIZENS BANKING CORPORATION
ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER 2005 RESULTS
ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER 2005 RESULTS
FLINT, MICHIGAN —Citizens Banking Corporation announced net income of $20.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005. This represents an increase of $0.5 million or 2.4% over the first quarter of 2005 net income of $20.1 million and an increase of $1.8 million or 9.8% over the second quarter of 2004 net income of $18.7 million. Diluted net income per share was $0.47, compared with $0.46 for the first quarter of 2005 and $0.43 for the same quarter of last year. Annualized returns on average assets and average equity during the second quarter of 2005 were 1.06% and 12.62%, respectively, compared with 1.05% and 12.54% for the first quarter of 2005 and 0.97% and 12.00% for the second quarter of 2004.
Net income for the first six months of 2005 totaled $40.6 million or $0.93 per diluted share, which represents an increase in net income of $4.5 million or 12.4% and $0.10 per diluted share over the same period of 2004.
“Our strong earnings for the second quarter of 2005 were driven by quality loan growth in all categories and our lowest quarter of net charge-offs in five years,” stated William R. Hartman, chairman, president and CEO. “The growth in loans helped to partially offset the increase in margin pressure as a result of rising rates, the flattened yield curve, and industry challenges in deposit generation” continued Hartman.
Key Highlights in the Quarter:
• | On an average basis, commercial and commercial real estate loans grew by $53.4 million or 1.8% from the first quarter of 2005 and $59.4 million or 2.0% from the second quarter of 2004 due to continued strong growth from our Southeast Michigan market, focus on the sales management process and several new relationships in key Michigan and Wisconsin markets. | |
• | The Consumer Banking line of business launched “Take the Challenge”, a year-long consultative selling initiative. Some of the second quarter highlights from this initiative include: |
o | A home equity campaign in April that significantly contributed to the $16.9 million in portfolio growth during the second quarter. | ||
o | An Investment Center sales initiative in May that helped increase brokerage revenue by $0.7 million or 42.8% over the first quarter. |
• | Net charge-offs declined to $2.4 million or 0.17% of average portfolio loans in the second quarter of 2005 compared with $4.2 million or 0.32% of average portfolio loans in the first quarter of 2005 and $4.4 million or 0.34% of average portfolio loans in the second quarter of 2004. Due to the continued reduction of risk in the commercial loan portfolio, the second quarter of 2005 provision for loan losses of $1.4 million was $1.6 million or 53.5% less than the first quarter of 2005 and $3.1 million or 69.0% less than the second quarter of 2004. | |
• | Nonperforming assets increased $5.3 million or 12.1% from the first quarter to $49.0 million at June 30, 2005. A single commercial credit accounted for $3.4 million of the increase. The June 30, 2005 level represented a decrease of $9.2 million or 15.8% compared with June 30, 2004. |

Balance Sheet
Citizens’ total assets at June 30, 2005 were $7.8 billion, an increase of $49.2 million or 0.6% compared with March 31, 2005 and an increase of $78.0 million or 1.0% from June 30, 2004. These increases were due to growth in total portfolio loans which were partially offset by declines in the investment portfolio. Portfolio loans increased $93.4 million or 1.7% compared with March 31, 2005 and $222.5 million or 4.2% compared with June 30, 2004 as growth in both consumer and commercial loans continued to more than offset the $78.5 million reduction in loans as a result of the third quarter 2004 Illinois Bank sale.

These increases were due to growth in total portfolio loans which were partially offset by declines in the investment portfolio. Portfolio loans increased $93.4 million or 1.7% compared with March 31, 2005 and $222.5 million or 4.2% compared with June 30, 2004 as growth in both consumer and commercial loans continued to more than offset the $78.5 million reduction in loans as a result of the third quarter 2004 Illinois Bank sale.
On a period-end basis, commercial and commercial real estate loans increased $28.7 million or 1.0% at June 30, 2005 compared with March 31, 2005 and increased $81.8 million or 2.8% from June 30, 2004. The increases were a result of continued strong growth in the Southeast Michigan market, increased focus on the sales management process and several new relationships in key Michigan and Wisconsin markets, which were partially offset by a continued reduction of exposure on credits not meeting Citizens’ risk parameters.
Residential mortgage loans were $524.7 million at June 30, 2005, an increase of $28.8 million or 5.8% compared with March 31, 2005 and an increase of $43.6 million or 9.1% from June 30, 2004. The increases in the mortgage portfolio were the result of enhanced, more competitive adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) product offerings, which are desirable for the bank to hold in the portfolio. Citizens continues to sell most new fixed rate production into the secondary market while retaining most new ARM production.
Total consumer loans, which are comprised of direct and indirect loans, increased $35.9 million or 1.8% at June 30, 2005 compared with March 31, 2005 and increased $97.1 million or 5.0% over June 30, 2004. The consultative sales process, supported by the “Take the Challenge” campaign, has helped offset weak consumer loan demand in Citizens’ market areas. During the three month period ended June 30, 2005, direct consumer loans increased $13.4 million or 1.1% and indirect loans increased $22.5 million or 2.7%. Growth in indirect consumer loans was due to seasonality in marine and recreational vehicle volume as well as the bank’s continued emphasis on strong relationships with the dealer network.
Total deposits were $5.2 billion at June 30, 2005, a decrease of $88.8 million or 1.7% compared with March 31, 2005 and a decrease of $160.7 million or 3.0% from June 30, 2004. The decline from the first quarter of 2005 reflects the migration of low transaction interest-bearing checking and promotional rate savings products to alternate investment opportunities in the market. The change from June 30, 2004 was primarily a result of the third quarter 2004 Illinois Bank sale, which included $155.3 million in deposits on the sale date. Core deposits, which exclude all time deposits, totaled $3.4 billion at June 30, 2005, which represents a $165.6 million or 4.6% decrease from March 31, 2005 and a decrease of $212.1 million or 5.9% from June 30, 2004. The decrease in core deposits from the end of the first quarter of 2005 was largely the result of clients migrating their funds into time deposits with higher yields and to promotional rate products within the market. Time deposits totaled $1.8 billion at June 30, 2005, an increase of $76.8 million or 4.5% compared with March 31, 2005 and an increase of $51.4 million or 3.0% from June 30, 2004.
Other interest-bearing liabilities, which include federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase, other short-term borrowings, and long-term debt, were $1.9 billion at June 30, 2005, an increase of $123.0 million or 7.0% compared with March 31, 2005 and an increase of $205.7 million or 12.2% from June 30, 2004. These increases were the result of the aforementioned loan and deposit changes.
Credit Quality
Nonperforming assets totaled $49.0 million at June 30, 2005, an increase of $5.3 million or 12.1% compared with March 31, 2005 and a decrease of $9.2 million or 15.8% compared with June 30, 2004. Nonperforming assets at June 30, 2005 represented 0.89% of total loans plus other repossessed assets acquired compared with 0.80% at March 31, 2005 and 1.10% at June 30, 2004. Loans added to the commercial nonperforming loan category increased to $21.1 million in the second quarter of 2005 compared with $11.2 million in the first quarter of 2005 and $17.3 million in the second quarter of 2004 while loans removed from that category totaled $17.5 million for the second quarter of 2005 compared with $15.4 million in the first quarter of 2005 and $23.2 million in the second quarter of 2004.
Net charge-offs decreased to $2.4 million or 0.17% of average portfolio loans in the second quarter of 2005 compared with $4.2 million or 0.32% of average portfolio loans in the first quarter of 2005 and $4.4 million or 0.34% of average portfolio loans in the second quarter of 2004. The 44.0% decrease in net charge-offs from the first quarter of 2005 was due to continued improvement in the overall risk of the commercial loan portfolio, as well as a
2
reduction in the inventory of repossessed assets due to seasonal fluctuations. The allowance for loan losses totaled $120.0 million or 2.17% of portfolio loans at June 30, 2005, a decrease of $1.0 million and $3.8 million from March 31, 2005 and June 30, 2004, respectively.
The provision for loan losses decreased to $1.4 million in the second quarter of 2005 compared with $3.0 million in the first quarter of 2005 and $4.5 million in the second quarter of 2004. The reduction in the provision for loan losses reflects a decrease in the level of net charge-offs as well as a continued improvement in the overall risk of the portfolio.
Based on seasonal business trends, anticipated improvement in a few specific nonperforming loans and the overall risk in the loan portfolio, Citizens anticipates net charge-offs and provision expense in the third quarter to be consistent with or slightly higher than the second quarter of 2005.
Net Interest Margin and Net Interest Income
Net interest margin was 3.92% for the second quarter of 2005 compared with 3.96% for the first quarter of 2005 and 3.98% for the second quarter of 2004. The decrease in net interest margin compared with the first quarter of 2005 resulted from mix shifts within the deposit portfolio from lower cost savings and transaction products to time deposits and continued pressure on loan spreads. The decrease in net interest margin compared with the second quarter of 2004 was due to growth in higher yielding deposit products and pricing compression in commercial loans. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, net interest margin declined to 3.94% compared with 3.99% for the same period of 2004 as a result of the aforementioned changes.

For the six months ended June 30, 2005, net interest margin declined to 3.94% compared with 3.99% for the same period of 2004 as a result of the aforementioned changes.
Net interest income was $68.8 million in the second quarter of 2005 compared with $68.2 million in the first quarter of 2005 and $69.2 million in the second quarter of 2004. The increase in net interest income compared with the first quarter of 2005 was driven by growth in average earning assets and there being more days in the quarter, partially offset by a lower net interest margin. The decrease compared with the second quarter of 2004 resulted from a lower net interest margin, which was partially offset by an increase in average earning assets of $49.9 million. The earning asset increase was driven by growth in consumer and commercial loans, partially offset by declines in the securities portfolio.
Net interest income for the first six months of 2005 totaled $137.0 million, which is a $0.5 million decrease from the $137.5 million in the same period of 2004. The decrease was driven by the lower net interest margin partially offset by a $76.0 million increase in earning assets.
In the third quarter of 2005, Citizens anticipates net interest income will be slightly lower than the second quarter of 2005 as a result of anticipated margin compression and slightly lower investment portfolio balances.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income for the second quarter of 2005 was $23.1 million, an increase of $0.7 million or 3.1% from the first quarter of 2005 and an increase of $0.3 million or 1.5% over the second quarter of 2004. Compared to the prior quarter, increases in deposit service charges, trust fees, and brokerage and investment fees were partially offset by decreases in mortgage and other loan income and other income. For the first six months of 2005, noninterest income totaled $45.6 million, which is an increase of $0.3 million or 0.6% over the $45.3 million in same period of 2004. The three-month and six-month increases over the prior year were largely due to the $2.1 million loss on sale of securities which occurred during the second quarter of 2004.
Noninterest income for the second quarter of 2005 was $23.1 million, an increase of $0.7 million or 3.1% from the first quarter of 2005 and an increase of $0.3 million or 1.5% over the second quarter of 2004. Compared to the prior quarter, increases in deposit service charges, trust fees, and brokerage and investment fees were partially offset by decreases in mortgage and other loan income and other income. For the first six months of 2005, noninterest income totaled $45.6 million, which is an increase of $0.3 million or 0.6% over the $45.3 million in same period of 2004. The three-month and six-month increases over the prior year were largely due to the $2.1 million loss on sale of securities which occurred during the second quarter of 2004.
Deposit service charges for the second quarter of 2005 increased $0.5 million or 6.4% to $8.8 million compared with the first quarter of 2005 and decreased $0.2 million or 2.7% from the second quarter of 2004. The increase from the first quarter of 2005 was the result of an increase in transaction activity, improved fee waiver management, and the higher number of processing days. The decrease from the second quarter of 2004 was due to the rising rate environment, which resulted in higher customer earnings credits against commercial deposit service charges based on commercial deposit balances, partially offset by changes in the penalty fee structure. For the first six months of 2005, deposit service charges totaled $17.1 million, essentially unchanged from the same period of the prior year.
Trust fees for the second quarter of 2005 increased $0.1 million or 2.1% to $4.5 million compared with the first quarter of 2005 and were essentially unchanged from the second quarter of 2004. For the first six months of 2005, trust fees totaled $8.9 million, essentially unchanged from the same period of 2004. Total trust assets under administration decreased $25.1 million to $2.6 billion at June 30, 2005 compared with March 31, 2005 and decreased $46.6 million compared with June 30, 2004. The decline in trust assets from March 31, 2005 was due to
3
the reduction of an institutional relationship in the second quarter of 2005 partially offset by stronger financial markets at June 30, 2005. The decline in trust assets from June 30, 2004 was due to the reduction of two institutional relationships during the periods presented, and the exit of custody assets related to two relationships in the first quarter of 2005. The effect of these exits was partially offset by stronger financial markets at June 30, 2005 and continued growth in the bank’s core segments of personal trust and employee benefit plans.
Mortgage and other loan income for the second quarter of 2005 decreased $0.3 million or 12.1% to $2.1 million compared with the first quarter of 2005 and decreased $1.0 million or 31.9% from the second quarter of 2004. The decreases reflect stronger ARM production, which resulted in more mortgages being held in the portfolio rather than being sold in the secondary market. For the first six months of 2005, mortgage and other loan income totaled $4.4 million, a decrease of $0.9 million or 16.4% from the same period of the prior year. The decline was a result of retaining more mortgage production.
Brokerage and investment fees for the second quarter of 2005 increased $0.7 million or 42.9% to $2.3 million over the first quarter of 2005 and decreased by $0.4 million or 13.9% compared with the second quarter of 2004. The increase from the first quarter was due to an improvement in consultative selling efforts and a successful sales campaign coordinated between the Wealth Management and Consumer Banking lines of business. The decline from the second quarter of 2004 was due to lower annuity sales primarily related to a bonus annuity rate offered during the sales campaign in the second quarter of 2004. For the first six months of 2005, brokerage and investment fees totaled $3.9 million, a decrease of $0.6 million or 12.4% from the same period of 2004. The decline was the result of lower annuity sales in January and February 2005 due to competitive pressures from other interest-bearing products and the aforementioned bonus annuity rate offered during the second quarter of 2004.
For the second quarter of 2005, all other noninterest income categories, which include bankcard fees, other income, and investment securities gains (losses), decreased $0.3 million or 5.9% to $5.5 million over the first quarter of 2005 and increased $2.0 million or 55.8% over the second quarter of 2004. The decrease from the first quarter of 2005 was the result of a performance-related penalty of $0.3 million from a third party vendor and a preference payment of $0.3 million on Citizens’ membership interest in the PULSE ATM Network, which were both received in the first quarter of 2005. The increase from the second quarter of 2004 was primarily the result of the $2.1 million loss on the sale of securities which occurred during the second quarter of 2004. For the first six months of 2005, all other noninterest income categories totaled $11.3 million, an increase of $1.6 million or 17.0% from the same period of 2004. The increase was largely the result of the aforementioned second quarter 2004 loss on sale of securities and a first quarter 2005 bank-owned life insurance policy payout which were partially offset by gains recognized upon the sale of former branch and other bank premises in the first quarter 2004.
Citizens anticipates total noninterest income in the third quarter will be slightly lower than the second quarter of 2005 due to lower sold mortgage activity and fewer bank-owned life insurance payouts.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2005 was $61.0 million, an increase of $0.4 million or 0.6% compared to the first quarter of 2005 and a decrease of $1.2 million or 1.9% from the second quarter of 2004. Compared to the first quarter of 2005, decreases in salaries and employee benefits, professional services, stationery and supplies and other expenses were more than offset by increases in occupancy, equipment, data processing, and other loan expenses. The variance from the second quarter of 2004 was a result of decreases in salaries and benefits, professional services, advertising, postage and delivery, other loan expenses, stationery and supplies and other expense, partially offset by increases in occupancy, equipment and data processing costs. For the first six months of 2005, noninterest expenses totaled $121.6 million, a decrease of $1.1 million or 0.9% from the $122.7 million for the same period of 2004. This decrease reflects declines in professional services, advertising and public relations, other loan expense, and other expenses, partially offset by increases in salaries and employee benefits, occupancy, and equipment.

Compared to the first quarter of 2005, decreases in salaries and employee benefits, professional services, stationery and supplies and other expenses were more than offset by increases in occupancy, equipment, data processing, and other loan expenses. The variance from the second quarter of 2004 was a result of decreases in salaries and benefits, professional services, advertising, postage and delivery, other loan expenses, stationery and supplies and other expense, partially offset by increases in occupancy, equipment and data processing costs. For the first six months of 2005, noninterest expenses totaled $121.6 million, a decrease of $1.1 million or 0.9% from the $122.7 million for the same period of 2004. This decrease reflects declines in professional services, advertising and public relations, other loan expense, and other expenses, partially offset by increases in salaries and employee benefits, occupancy, and equipment.
Salaries and employee benefits for the second quarter of 2005 decreased $1.0 million or 3.0% to $32.4 million compared with the first quarter of 2005 and decreased $0.8 million or 2.5% compared with the second quarter of 2004. Salary costs declined in the second quarter of 2005, despite recognizing $0.4 million in severance, as a result of reduced headcount, lower incentive compensation expense and lower payroll tax expense during the quarter. Citizens had 2,150 full time equivalent employees at June 30, 2005, down from 2,175 at March 31, 2005 and 2,325 at June 30, 2004. For the first six months of 2005, salaries and employee benefits totaled $65.7 million, which represents an increase of $0.6 million or 0.9% from the $65.1 million for the same period of 2004. The increase was largely a result of higher employee benefit costs related to pension and insurance expenses.

Occupancy costs for the second quarter of 2005 increased $0.1 million or 2.3% to $5.7 million in the second quarter of 2005 compared to the first quarter of 2005 and increased $0.8 million or 15.5% over the second quarter of 2004. For the first six months of 2005, occupancy costs totaled $11.2 million, which represents a $1.0 million increase or 9.6% over the $10.3 million for the same period of 2004. These increases were largely the result of rent related to the opening of new branches and regional hubs opened in Southeast Michigan throughout 2004, depreciation associated with new branch construction in Southeast Michigan and the Michigan re-branding project.
Professional services for the second quarter of 2005 decreased $0.5 million or 11.3% to $3.7 million compared with the first quarter of 2005 and decreased $0.6 million or 13.0% compared with the second quarter of 2004. Expenses related to the evaluation, documentation, and testing of internal controls and issuance of the related reports to comply with Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404 were significantly lower in the second quarter compared to the first quarter of 2005. In addition, technology and network support costs decreased compared to the second quarter of 2004. For the first six months of 2005, professional services totaled $7.9 million, a decrease of $0.3 million or 3.5% over the $8.2 million for the same period of 2004. The decrease was largely a result of lower technology and network support costs resulting from a change in service provider.
Equipment costs for the second quarter of 2005 increased $1.6 million or 49.6% to $4.9 million compared to the first quarter of 2005 and increased $1.3 million or 34.6% compared with the second quarter of 2004. For the first six months of 2005, equipment costs totaled $8.2 million, an increase of $0.9 million or 12.7% over the same period of 2004. These increases were mainly due to $1.5 million in asset write-downs as a result of aligning the service life for these items with the current capitalization policy.
Advertising and public relations expense for the second quarter of 2005 was relatively flat at $1.8 million compared to the first quarter of 2005 and decreased $0.2 million or 10.7% compared with the second quarter of 2004. The decrease was due to reduced advertising and marketing expenses for the Southeast Michigan initiative and the Wealth Management line of business. For the first six months of 2005, advertising and public relations totaled $3.6 million, a decrease of $0.6 million or 14.8% from the $4.2 million for the same period of 2004. The decrease was the result of lower corporate advertising expenses and the timing of promotion campaigns.
Other loan expenses for the second quarter of 2005 increased $0.5 million to $0.9 million compared to the first quarter of 2005 and decreased $0.8 million or 46.4% compared with the second quarter of 2004. The increase from the first quarter was the result of an increase in provisioning to fund the reserve for unused commitments compared to a reduction of the provision in the first quarter. The decrease from the same period of last year was largely due to lower consumer loan processing expenses resulting from process improvements and lower loan volumes. For the first six months of 2005, other loan expenses totaled $1.2 million, which represents a decrease of $1.5 million or 54.7% from the $2.8 million for the same period of 2004. The decrease was the result of lower consumer loan volumes and process improvements implemented in the consumer loan processing department during the third quarter of 2004.
For the second quarter of 2005, all other noninterest expense categories, which include data processing services, postage and delivery, telephone, stationery and supplies, intangible asset amortization, and other expense, decreased $0.5 million or 3.9% to $11.6 million from the first quarter of 2005 and decreased $0.8 million or 6.6% from the second quarter of 2004. The decreases were largely the result of a focused effort to reduce supply costs across the corporation through increased awareness and the utilization of a recently implemented online procurement system. For the first six months of 2005, all other noninterest expense categories decreased $1.2 million or 4.7% to $23.7 million compared to the same period of 2004. The decrease was the result of reduced supplies and travel expenses, and non-credit related losses that were incurred in the first six months of 2004.
Citizens anticipates that noninterest expenses for the third quarter will be lower than the second quarter of 2005 due to anticipated reductions in benefits, incentives, severance, equipment depreciation, and other expenses.
Income Tax Provision
Income tax provision for the second quarter of 2005 was $9.0 million, an increase of $2.0 million or 28.0% compared to the first quarter of 2005 and an increase of $2.3 million or 34.8% over the second quarter of 2004. For the first six months of 2005, income tax provision totaled $16.0 million, an increase of $3.5 million or 27.7% over the same period of 2004. The increases were attributable to higher pre-tax net income and a $1.3 million ($0.8 million after-tax) reduction in the deferred Wisconsin state income tax asset as a result of the April merger of the Michigan and Wisconsin bank charters

The effective tax rate was 30.38% for the second quarter of 2005 compared to 25.89% for the first quarter of 2005 and 26.23% for the second quarter of 2004. On a year-to-date basis, the effective tax rate was 28.23% and 25.71% for 2005 and 2004, respectively. The increases were a result of the Wisconsin deferred tax asset release.
Citizens anticipates income tax provision for the third quarter will be lower than the second quarter of 2005 but higher than the first quarter of 2005 due to the apportionment calculation now used for the consolidated Michigan and Wisconsin bank.

Wisconsin Re-branding Completed
On April 25, 2005 all F&M Bank-Wisconsin locations were re-branded as Citizens Bank. This initiative included new Citizens Bank signage at all of the company’s Wisconsin locations and the replacement of the F&M Bank trade name and brand image with Citizens Bank on all brochures and materials. This change has been positively received by clients and staff alike. The change creates a more efficient banking franchise by allowing the combined banks to operate as a single entity. It eliminates the need for separate regulatory reporting, accounting and financial tracking by the two banks and allows the company to make more efficient use of its capital.

Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, without limitation, adverse changes in Citizens’ loan and lease portfolios and the resulting credit risk-related losses and expenses (including losses due to fraud and economic factors), Citizens’ future lending and collections experience and the potential inadequacy of Citizens’ loan loss reserves, interest rate fluctuations and the effects on net interest income of changes in Citizens’ interest rate risk position, the potential inability to hedge certain risks economically, other adverse changes in economic or financial market conditions, the effects of terrorist attacks and potential attacks, Citizens’ potential inability to continue to attract core deposits, Citizens’ potential inability to continue to obtain third party financing on favorable terms, adverse changes in competition and pricing environments, Citizens’ potential failure to maintain or improve loan quality levels and origination volume, unanticipated expenses and payments relating to litigation brought against Citizens from time to time, unanticipated technological changes that require major capital expenditures, adverse changes in applicable laws and regulatory requirements, the potential lack of market acceptance of Citizens’ products and services, adverse changes in Citizens’ relationship with major customers, changes in accounting rules that negatively impact results of operations or capital, the potential inadequacy of Citizens’ business continuity plans, the potential failure of Citizens’ external vendors to fulfill their contractual obligations to Citizens, Citizens’ potential inability to integrate acquired operations or complete its restructuring, unanticipated environmental liabilities or costs, impairment of the ability of the banking subsidiaries to pay dividends to the holding company parent, Citizens’ success in managing the risks involved in the foregoing, and other risks and uncertainties detailed from time to time in its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Other factors not currently anticipated by management may also materially and adversely affect Citizens’ results of operations.

(1) | Net interest margin is presented on an annual basis, includes taxable equivalent adjustments to interest income and is based on a tax rate of 35%. | |
(2) | Efficiency Ratio = Noninterest expense/(Net interest income + Taxable equivalent adjustment + Total fees and other income). It measures how efficiently a bank spends its revenues. The fourth quarter 2004 excludes a special charge recovery of $0.2 million and the third quarter 2004 excludes the gain on the sale of the Illinois Bank subsidiary of $11.7 million and a prepayment penalty on FHLB advances of $18.0 million. | |
The efficiency ratio for the fourth and third quarters of 2004 would equal 64.03% and 73.67%, respectively, if these items were included in the calculation. |
