Old National Bancorp(NYSE: ONB)today reported first-quarter 2009 net income of $9.4 million, or $.08 per common share. Excluding $3.9 million from the impact of TARP preferred stock dividends and amortization, earnings per common share would have been $.14 per share. These results compare to fourth-quarter 2008 net income of $6.6 million, or $.10 per share, and $19.3 million, or $.29 per share, earned in the first quarter of 2008. Refer to Table 1 for Non-GAAP reconciliation of the adjusted first-quarter 2009 earnings per common share.
“The first-quarter of 2009 contained several significant positive events for Old National,” commented President and CEO Bob Jones. “The first of these events was our repurchase of the previously issued preferred stock from the U.S. Treasury as part of the Capital Purchase Program. This external validation of Old National’s strong capital position enables us to continue to fulfill our mission of serving as a community partner with integrity. The second event was the completed acquisition of Charter One’s Indiana franchise and the addition of approximately $428 million in core deposits to quarter-end numbers. This acquisition adds 65 locations to our footprint and positions Old National with the third largest branch network in the state of Indiana.”
Jones continued, “We are also pleased with our first-quarter core operating results and our ability to exceed Wall Street consensus analyst estimates. We continue to focus on controlling credit costs and are pleased with the improvement in our ratio of loan loss reserves to total loans. Our core deposits experienced nice organic growth which demonstrates Old National’s viability and stability within our communities. In addition, the reduction in our cash dividend will solidify our capital position during these uncertain economic times.”
Strategic Imperatives
Old National continues to be guided by three strategic imperatives that are critical in establishing the Company’s presence as a high-performing financial institution:
| 1. | | Strengthen the risk profile. |
|
| 2. | | Enhance management discipline. |
|
| 3. | | Achieve consistent quality earnings. |
Strengthen the Risk Profile
Old National’s key credit quality trends are as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
($ in millions) | | 2003 | | | 2004 | | | 2005 | | | 2006 | | | 2007 | | | 2008 | | | 4Q08 | | | 1Q09 | |
Non-Performing Loans | | $ | 104.6 | | | $ | 54.9 | | | $ | 55.6 | | | $ | 41.6 | | | $ | 40.8 | | | $ | 64.0 | | | $ | 64.0 | | | $ | 77.4 | |
Problem Loans | | $ | 343.9 | | | $ | 192.2 | | | $ | 136.6 | | | $ | 153.2 | | | $ | 115.1 | | | $ | 180.1 | | | $ | 180.1 | | | $ | 199.8 | |
Special Mention Loans | | $ | 215.7 | | | $ | 148.1 | | | $ | 83.2 | | | $ | 119.8 | | | $ | 103.2 | | | $ | 124.9 | | | $ | 124.9 | | | $ | 86.6 | |
Net Charge-Off Ratio | | | 1.21 | % | | | .61 | % | | | .60 | % | | | .37 | % | | | .44 | % | | | .87 | % | | | 1.14 | % | | | 1.07 | % |
Provision for Loan Losses | | $ | 85.0 | | | $ | 22.4 | | | $ | 23.1 | | | $ | 7.0 | | | $ | 4.1 | | | $ | 51.5 | | | $ | 17.0 | | | $ | 17.3 | |
The allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2009, was $71.8 million, a $4.7 million increase from the end of 2008. As a percentage of total loans, the allowance at March 31, 2009, was 1.55%, compared to 1.41% at December 31, 2008, and 1.54% at March 31, 2008.
Chief Credit Officer Daryl Moore noted, “As anticipated, given the current economic environment, we did see increases in non-performing and problem loans in the first quarter. And while Special Mention totals fell materially in the quarter, this decline has not changed our expectation of continuing credit challenges throughout the balance of the year. Accordingly, we feel the increase in our loan loss reserve is prudent given the anticipated continuation of economic strain on our clients.”
Enhance Management Discipline
Capital Management
At March 31, 2009, the regulatory tier 1 and total risk-based capital ratios for Old National were 9.9% and 12.2%, respectively, and remained well above the FDIC guidelines for “well capitalized” institutions. In addition, tangible common equity (including other comprehensive income) as a percentage of tangible assets was 5.23% at March 31, 2009, well within the Company’s targeted range of 5% to 6%. The Company’s targeted range was adjusted to include other comprehensive income in the calculation of tangible common equity. Refer to Table 2 for Non-GAAP reconciliation of the tangible capital ratios.
Chief Financial Officer Chris Wolking stated, “While our capital ratios are strong, management and the board of directors did feel that it was prudent to reduce our second quarter cash dividend from the previous $.23 per common share to $.07 per common share. This dividend is payable June 15, 2009, to shareholders of record as of June 1, 2009. This reduction will enable Old National to retain approximately $10 million to $11 million in capital during the second quarter. Building capital positions us to take advantage of opportunities to grow either organically or through acquisitions. Our Board of Directors will continue to evaluate our cash dividend on a quarterly basis.”

Expense Management
Noninterest expenses totaled $77.5 million for the first quarter of 2009. Included in this total are $3.0 million of non-recurring conversion costs associated with the acquisition of Charter One’s Indiana franchise as well as increased FDIC insurance expense. Noninterest expenses for the fourth quarter of 2008 totaled $79.0 million and included a $6.3 million check fraud charge while expenses in the first quarter of 2008 totaled $70.9 million.
Achieve Consistent Quality Earnings
Balance Sheet & Margin
Old National reported total loans at March 31, 2009, of $4.641 billion, a $136.5 million decline from the $4.778 billion at December 31, 2008. Commercial loans and leases constituted the majority of the change, with a decrease of $88.6 million. The Company’s cautious approach to commercial real estate continued to drive down that portfolio, with a decrease of $21.0 million since the end of 2008.
Total investments at March 31, 2009, were $2.887 billion, representing an increase of $591.1 million from the $2.296 billion at December 31, 2008. Most of this increase is attributable to the Charter One branch acquisition as the acquired deposits were invested into securities in anticipation of future lending opportunities. As a percentage of total assets, the investment portfolio increased to 34.5% from 29.2% at the end of the fourth quarter. Net securities gains for the first quarter totaled $3.2 million and included a charge for other-than-temporary-impairment of $2.4 million.
Total core deposits, including demand and interest-bearing deposits, totaled $5.745 billion at March 31, 2009, an increase of $494.6 million from the $5.251 billion at the end of 2008. Importantly, noninterest-bearing checking accounts increased $150.7 million during the first quarter. The Charter One acquisition contributed $428 million of the increase in total core deposits.
At March 31, 2009, total borrowed funds were $1.637 billion, a $152.5 million increase from the $1.485 billion at December 31, 2008.
On a fully tax equivalent basis, net interest income during the first quarter of 2009 was $65.1 million and represented a net interest margin on total average earning assets of 3.63%. This compares to net interest income of $68.0 million and a margin of 3.96% in the fourth quarter of 2008 and net interest income of $64.2 million and a margin of 3.68% for the first quarter of 2008. The increase in the Company’s investment portfolio, combined with lower loan yields and balances contributed to the lower margin during the first quarter.

Fees, Service Charges and Other Revenue
Old National reported total fees, service charges and other revenue of $38.6 million for the first quarter of 2009, compared to $36.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2008 and $43.0 million in the first quarter of 2008. The first quarter of 2009 contained $2.4 million in seasonal contingency revenue from the insurance business, compared to none in the fourth quarter of 2008 and $2.4 million in the first quarter of 2008. The first quarter of 2008 also contained $2.8 million in Company-owned life insurance revenue, while fourth quarter of 2008 and the first quarter of 2009 both contained $.7 million.
