| JANUARY 28, 2019 | GERMAN AMERICAN BANCORP, INC. (GABC) POSTS 9TH CONSECUTIVE YEAR OF RECORD ANNUAL EARNINGS & ANNOUNCES 13% CASH DIVIDEND INCREASE |
Jasper, Indiana: January 28, 2019 -- German American Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: GABC) reported that the Company has achieved record annual earnings for the year ended on December 31, 2018, marking the 9th consecutive year of record performance. This level of annual earnings performance resulted in a 12.1% return on shareholders’ equity for 2018, noting the 14th consecutive fiscal year in which the Company has delivered double-digit returns on shareholders’ equity. The Company also announced a 13% increase in its quarterly cash dividend.
2018 was a year of growth and progress for the Company in many areas of its operations. During the fourth quarter, the Company completed its acquisition of First Security Bank, which was headquartered in Owensboro, Kentucky. The inclusion of the First Security branch footprint expanded German American’s branch network into Bowling Green, Lexington and Owensboro, three vibrant, growing markets within the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Additionally, the Company completed a five-branch acquisition in the Columbus, Indiana market area during the second quarter of 2018, as well as continuing to deliver organic growth throughout its Southern Indiana footprint, particularly within its newest market area in the Indiana portion of the Louisville, Kentucky metropolitan area.
On a year-over-year basis, as of December 31, 2018, total assets, total loans, and total deposits each increased by approximately 25% from the 2017 year-end levels. This impressive level of growth was attributable to both the aforementioned acquisitions and organic growth within the Company’s existing Indiana branches. Approximately 20% of the balance sheet growth in 2018 was attributable to the acquisition growth, with the Company’s existing branch network delivering 5% organic growth.
The Company’s 2018 record net income of $46.5 million, or $1.99 per share, was an increase of approximately $5.9 million, or 12% on a per share basis, over its previous record annual net income of $40.7 million, or $1.77 per share, reported in 2017. Current year fourth quarter earnings totaled $11.0 million, or $0.44 per share, compared to 2017 fourth quarter net income of $11.6 million, or $0.51 per share. The 2018 reported fourth quarter and year-to-date net income were impacted by acquisition-related expenses of approximately $3.1 million (which equated to $2.3 million, or $0.09 per share on an after-tax basis) in the fourth quarter and $4.6 million (which represents $3.5 million, or $0.15 on an after-tax basis) during 2018.

Commenting on the Company’s continuation of its trend of consecutive years of record financial performance and historic growth in 2018, Mark A. Schroeder, German American’s Chairman & CEO, stated, "This financial performance and the historic level of growth of approximately $600 million in both loans and deposits in 2018 would not have been possible without the commitment and dedication of our team of over 800 employees and the acceptance of the German American brand and product offerings by our loyal customers throughout our footprint. Our continued expansion and organic growth in our Southern Indiana markets and our entry into the very exciting Bowling Green, Lexington and Owensboro, Kentucky markets in 2018 positions our Company extremely well for a continuation of our trend of consistent, impressive financial performance in the coming years.”
The Company also announced a 13% increase in its regular quarterly cash dividend, as its Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.17 per share, which will be payable on February 20, 2019 to shareholders of record as of February 10, 2019.
Balance Sheet Highlights
The Company completed a five-branch acquisition of locations of First Financial Bancorp (formerly branch locations of Mainsource Financial Group, Inc. prior to its merger with First Financial Bancorp) on May 18, 2018. Four of the branches are located in Columbus, Indiana, and one in Greensburg, Indiana. In addition, on October 15, 2018, the Company completed its acquisition of First Security, Inc. ("First Security") and its subsidiary bank, First Security Bank, Inc.

The increase in total assets as of year-end 2018 compared to September 30, 2018 was driven largely by the acquisition of First Security. The increase in total assets as of year-end 2018 compared with the prior year end was driven by the acquisition of First Security and the five-branch network in the Columbus and Greensburg, Indiana markets as well as organic loan growth.
December 31, 2018 total loans increased $391.6 million compared with September 30, 2018 and increased $586.7 million compared with December 31, 2017. As of December 31, 2018, outstanding loans from the First Security transaction, which closed in October 2018, totaled $374.5 million.

Under acquisition accounting treatment, loans acquired are recorded at fair value which includes a credit risk component, and therefore the allowance on loans acquired is not carried over from the seller.

The increased level of net interest income during 2018 compared with 2017 was driven primarily by a higher level of earning assets resulting from organic loan growth, the previously discussed merger and acquisition activity and improvement in the net interest margin.
The tax equivalent net interest margin for the year ended December 31, 2018 was 3.75% compared to 3.76% in 2017. The lower federal income tax rates during 2018 had an approximately 9 basis point negative impact on the Company's net interest margin. The improvement in the net interest margin, excluding the impact of the lower federal tax rates, during 2018 compared to 2017 was related to the positive impact on earning asset

During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company recorded a provision for loan loss of $2,070,000 compared with a provision for loan loss of $1,750,000 during 2017.

and to the adoption of the new revenue recognition standard effective January 1, 2018. While the adoption of the standard did not have a significant impact on the Company's financial results, the recording of revenue gross versus net of certain expenses, in accordance with the standard, did result in the reclassification of some expenses associated with the interchange fee revenue during 2018.

Data processing fees increased $2,666,000, or 62%, during 2018 compared to 2017. The increase was largely related to costs associated with merger and acquisition activities which totaled approximately $2,002,000 during 2018.
Professional fees increased $2,545,000, or 90%, during 2018 compared with 2017. The increase was primarily due to professional fees related to merger and acquisition activities which totaled $1,738,000 during 2018.
Intangible amortization increased $810,000, or 86%, during 2018 compared with 2017. The increase in intangible amortization was attributable to the previously discussed acquisition transactions completed during 2018.
Other operating expenses increased $3,390,000, or 36%, during 2018 compared with 2017. The increase during 2018 was largely attributable to the operating costs related to the acquisitions completed in 2018 and to the adoption of the revenue recognition standard effective January 1, 2018 and the reclassification of expenses as previously discussed.
The Company’s effective income tax rate was 17.0% during the year ended December 31, 2018 compared with an effective tax rate of 22.1% during 2017. The Company's effective tax rate and provision for income tax was positively impacted during 2018 by the reduction of federal income tax rates from a statutory rate of 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018 related to the enactment of the Tax Act during the fourth quarter of 2017. As a result of the enactment of the Tax Act, the Company revalued its its deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities during the fourth quarter of 2017 which resulted in a net tax benefit of $2,284,000 and consequently impacted the effective tax rate for 2017 as well.

The increased level of average earning assets in the fourth quarter of 2018, compared with the third quarter of 2018, was driven primarily by the completed acquisition of First Security on October 15, 2018.

The tax equivalent net interest margin for the quarter ended December 31, 2018 was 3.83% compared with 3.76% in the third quarter of 2018 and 3.71% in the fourth quarter of 2017. The lower federal income tax rates during 2018 had an approximately 9 basis point negative impact on the Company's net interest margin in both the third and fourth quarters of 2018. Accretion of loan discounts on acquired loans contributed approximately 13 basis points to the net interest margin on an annualized basis in the fourth quarter of 2018, 8 basis points in the third quarter of 2018, and 6 basis points in the fourth quarter of 2017.
During the quarter ended December 31, 2018, the Company recorded no provision for loan loss compared with a provision for loan loss of $500,000 in the third quarter of 2018 and $650,000 in the fourth quarter of 2017. The provision during all periods was done in accordance with the Company's standard methodology for determining the adequacy of its allowance for loan loss.
During the quarter ended December 31, 2018, non-interest income totaled $9,733,000, an increase of $770,000, or 9%, compared with the quarter ended September 30, 2018, and an increase of $2,139,000, or 28%, compared with the fourth quarter of 2017.

increase during the fourth quarter of 2018 compared with both the third quarter of 2018 and fourth quarter of 2017 was largely attributable to the acquisitions completed during 2018.
Interchange fees increased $388,000, or 21%, during the fourth quarter of 2018 compared with the third quarter of 2018 and increased $1,033,000, or 86%, compared with the fourth quarter of 2017. The increase during the fourth quarter of 2018 compared with the third quarter of 2018 was primarily attributable to increased card utilization by customers and the bank acquisition completed during fourth quarter. The increase during the fourth quarter of 2018 compared with the fourth quarter of 2017 was attributable to increased card utilization by customers, the acquisitions completed during 2018 and the adoption of the new revenue recognition standard effective January 1, 2018.
Net gains on sales of loans declined $283,000, or 33%, during the fourth quarter of 2018 compared with the third quarter of 2018 and declined $99,000, or 15%, compared with the fourth quarter of 2017. The decline in the net gain on sale during the fourth quarter of 2018 compared with the third quarter 2018 was largely attributable to lower pricing levels on loans sold and a decline in volume of loans sold. Loan sales totaled $35.7 million during the fourth quarter of 2018, compared with $37.6 million during the third quarter of 2018 and $28.9 million during the fourth quarter of 2017.
During the quarter ended December 31, 2018, non-interest expense totaled $29,814,000, an increase of $8,238,000, or 38%, compared with the quarter ended September 30, 2018, and an increase of $9,814,000, or 49%, compared with the fourth quarter of 2017. The fourth quarter of 2018 included operating expenses related to the branch acquisition completed during the second quarter of 2018 as well as operating expenses related to the bank acquisition completed early in the fourth quarter of 2018. The fourth quarter of 2018 included acquisition-related expenses of a non-recurring nature of approximately $3,107,000 (approximately $2,343,000 or $0.09 per share, on an after tax basis) while the third quarter of 2018 included acquisition-related expenses of approximately $396,000 (approximately $317,000 or $0.01 per share, on an after-tax basis) related to the previously discussed acquisitions.

The increase in salaries and benefits during the fourth quarter of 2018 compared with both the third quarter of 2018 and the fourth quarter of 2017 was primarily attributable to an increased number of full-time equivalent employees due in part to the acquisition transactions completed during 2018.

Occupancy, furniture and equipment expense increased $465,000, or 17%, during the fourth quarter of 2018 compared with the third quarter of 2018 and increased $751,000, or 31%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2017.

The increase during the fourth quarter of 2018 compared with both the third quarter of 2018 and the fourth quarter of 2017 was driven by acquisition and conversion-related costs associated with the aforementioned bank acquisition which totaled approximately $1,668,000 during the fourth quarter of 2018.

Professional fees increased $1,544,000, or 195%, during the fourth quarter of 2018 compared with the third quarter of 2018 and increased $1,787,000, or 325%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2017. The increase during the fourth quarter of 2018 compared to both periods was due in part to professional fees related to merger and acquisition activity during 2018. Merger and acquisition related professional fees totaled approximately $730,000 in the fourth quarter of 2018 and $248,000 during the third quarter of 2018 while there were no professional fee costs for acquisitions during the fourth quarter of 2017. Professional fees during the fourth quarter of 2018 also included approximately $930,000 in fees related to certain contract negotiations.
Intangible amortization increased $380,000, or 88%, during the quarter ended December 31, 2018 compared with the third quarter of 2018 and increased $593,000, or 273%, compared with the fourth quarter of 2017. The increase in intangible amortization was attributable to the previously discussed acquisitions completed during 2018.
Other operating expenses increased $1,015,000, or 34%, during the fourth quarter of 2018 compared with the third quarter of 2018 and increased $1,615,000, or 67%, compared with the fourth quarter of 2017. The increase in the fourth quarter of 2018 compared with the third quarter of 2018 was attributable to the bank acquisition completed in the fourth quarter of 2018. The increase during the fourth quarter of 2018 compared with the fourth quarter of 2017 was largely attributable to the operating costs related to the acquisitions completed in 2018 and to the adoption of the revenue recognition standard effective January 1, 2018 and the reclassification of expense as previously discussed.
The Company’s effective income tax rate was 14.9% during the three months ended December 31, 2018 compared with an effective tax rate of 18.1% during the third quarter of 2018 and 6.3% during the fourth quarter of 2017. The Company's effective tax rate and provision for income tax was positively impacted during 2018 by the reduction of federal income tax rates from a statutory rate of 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018 related to the enactment of the Tax Act during the fourth quarter of 2017. As a result of the enactment of the Tax Act, the Company revalued its deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities during the fourth quarter of 2017 which resulted in a net tax benefit of $2,284,000 and consequently significantly impacted the effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2017.
