| - Branch acquisition pending |
SYRACUSE, N.Y. — October 22, 2013 — Community Bank System, Inc. (NYSE: CBU) reported net income of $22.0 million for third quarter 2013, compared with $18.4 million for the third quarter of 2012. Diluted earnings per share were $0.54 for the third quarter of 2013, versus $0.46 in the prior year third quarter, which included eight cents per share of acquisition expenses. The Company reported earnings of $63.4 million ($1.56 per share) for the first nine months of 2013, an increase of $5.1 million, or 8.7%, compared to the equivalent prior year period.
Total revenue for the third quarter of 2013 was $88.2 million, an increase of $3.6 million, or 4.2%, compared to third quarter 2012. Revenue growth was supported by higher non-interest income from an increased core deposit account base, along with continued solid organic growth in wealth management and benefits administration services. Net interest income was up 3.1% from the third quarter 2012, reflecting productive acquired and organic loan growth over the past twelve months, as well as the balance sheet restructuring activities completed in the first half of 2013. Third quarter net interest income also included approximately $0.5 million (or one cent per share) of incremental yield accretion from the favorable disposition of an acquired impaired commercial relationship. The quarterly provision for loan losses of $2.1 million was $0.5 million lower than the third quarter of 2012, reflective of lower net charge-offs and the continuation of generally stable and favorable asset quality metrics. Total operating expenses of $55.0 million for the third quarter 2013 were $3.7 million, or 7.2% higher than the prior year quarter (excluding acquisition expenses), primarily the result of the recurring operating costs associated with the branch acquisitions completed in 2012.
“We continued to perform at a very high level during the third quarter of 2013, generating record earnings, solid organic loan growth, high single-digit, year-over-year growth in financial services revenue, and continued strong asset quality metrics,” said President and Chief Executive Officer Mark E. Tryniski. “During the third quarter, we also announced an agreement to acquire eight branch-banking locations from Bank of America, N.A., which will further expand and strengthen our market presence across our Northeast Pennsylvania service footprint. Recognizing the Company’s continued solid financial performance and strong capital position, the Board raised the quarterly cash dividend by 3.7% in August, marking the twenty-first consecutive year of increased dividend payouts. We believe that our strong competitive position, superior asset quality, and consistent and disciplined approach to business leaves us well positioned for the future.”
Third quarter net interest income of $60.6 million increased 3.1% compared with the prior year period, despite a planned net reduction of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities during the first six months of 2013. Third quarter interest income was down $5.3 million compared to the prior year quarter as a result of a $156.6 million net decrease in interest-earning assets as well as a 26-basis point decline in the earning asset yield, driven by lower yields on both loans (down 49 basis points) and investment securities (down 30 basis points). This was more than offset by a $7.1 million decrease in interest expense, reflecting a $228.3 million reduction in interest-bearing liabilities coupled with a 43-basis point decline in the Company’s cost of funds. The lower cost of funds was driven by continued low market interest rates that enabled the Company to lower deposit rates to produce an 18-basis point decline in the interest-bearing deposit rate in comparison to third quarter 2012, and also benefitted from the extinguishment of certain higher cost borrowings in early 2013. During the first half of 2013, the Company completed a balance sheet restructuring program that involved selling nearly $650 million of longer duration investment securities and using the proceeds to retire $502 million of Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) borrowings.

Compared to the prior year, third quarter non-interest income of $27.6 million increased $1.7 million, or 6.7%, driven by increased banking service fees and growing financial services revenue. Deposit service revenues grew $0.6 million, or 5.4%, to $12.7 million, principally due to a larger base of core deposit accounts. Wealth management revenue was up $0.6 million, or 19.7%, over third quarter 2012, driven by business expansion in trust services, asset management and advisory services, and favorable market conditions. Employee benefits administration and consulting revenues of $9.4 million increased 5.4% from the third quarter of 2012, benefitting from new and expanded customer relationships as well as positive equity market influences. Noninterest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $80.8 million (31% of total revenue), an increase of $7.8 million, or 10.7%, compared to the first nine months of 2012.
Quarterly operating expenses were up $3.7 million, or 7.2%, to $55.0 million, compared to $51.3 million for third quarter 2012 (excluding acquisition expenses of $4.8 million), principally reflecting the additional costs of operating an expanded franchise. Excluding acquisition expenses, year-to-date operating expenses were $163.9 million, an increase of $14.3 million, or 9.5% higher than the first nine months of 2012.
The 2013 third quarter and nine month effective income tax rate of 29.2% was consistent with the 29.1% rate reported in the first nine months of 2012, reflective of generally stable proportions of income being generated from fully taxable and non-taxable sources.
Financial Position
Average earning assets for the third quarter of 2013 were $6.5 billion, a decrease of $156.6 million, or 2.4%, compared to the third quarter of 2012, a net result of the balance sheet restructuring activities that were undertaken during the first two quarters of 2013 and solid organic loan growth over the past twelve months. Average earning assets increased $216.4 million from the second quarter of 2013, and included $86.0 million of growth in average loans, and a $130.4 million increase in average investments and cash equivalents, as the Company continued to early invest a portion of the expected liquidity from the pending branch acquisition in the third quarter. Ending loans increased $213.0 million, or 5.6%, over the prior year quarter, reflecting strong organic growth in the Bank’s consumer lending portfolios. Total deposits of $5.69 billion at third quarter-end increased by $17.2 million, or 0.3%, from June 30, 2013. The Company’s Tier 1 leverage ratio on September 30, 2013 was 9.39%, up 107 basis points compared with the third quarter of 2012. The tangible equity to net tangible assets ratio of 7.38% at September 30, 2013 was generally consistent with levels reported over the last four quarters.
Balance Sheet Restructuring
During the first six months of 2013, the Company initiated and completed a balance sheet restructuring that involved selling $648.8 million of investment securities with realized gains of $63.8 million, and extinguishing $501.6 million of FHLB borrowings, incurring $63.5 million of early extinguishment costs. The Company’s balance sheet was reduced by approximately 7% through the first half of 2013 as a result of this planned initiative. Although these transactions were essentially neutral to earnings as well as total capital for this period, more than $35 million of incremental regulatory (Tier 1) capital was created, and the Company expects the transactions to be modestly additive to future net interest income generation.

Asset Quality
The Company’s asset quality metrics for the third quarter of 2013 remained substantially better than comparative industry averages and illustrate the long-term effectiveness of the Company’s disciplined risk management and underwriting standards. Net charge-offs were $1.4 million for the third quarter, compared to $1.7 million for the third quarter of 2012 and $0.8 million for the second quarter of 2013. Nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans were 0.61% at September 30, 2013, down from 0.62% at June 30, 2013, and down from 0.81% at September 30, 2012. The total delinquency ratio of 1.48% at the end of the third quarter was down 31 basis points from third quarter 2012 and was two basis points lower than at the end of the second quarter of 2013. The third quarter provision for loan losses of $2.1 million was down $0.5 million, or 21%, compared to third quarter 2012, consistent with the lower nonperforming loans and a lower level of net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans in the current quarter. The allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans was 181% at September 30, 2013, compared to 139% at September 30, 2012, and 178% as of June 30, 2013.
Cash Dividend Increased for 21st Consecutive Year
The Company announced on August 21, 2013 that it would raise its quarterly cash dividend by one cent, or 3.7%, to $0.28 per share on its common stock. The dividend was paid on October 10, 2013 to shareholders of record on September 16, 2013. The Company’s third quarter 2013 dividend payout ratio was 51.2%, resulting in the meaningful retention of generated capital that can be used for future strategic growth objectives. The Company views the growth of cash dividends over time as an important component of its commitment to provide consistent and favorable long-term returns to shareholders.
Acquisition Will Strengthen Pennsylvania Franchise
On July 24, 2013, the Company announced that it had entered into a purchase and assumption agreement to acquire eight branch-banking locations across its Northeast Pennsylvania markets from Bank of America, N.A. The transaction will elevate the Bank’s market presence in Northeast Pennsylvania, is expected to add approximately $340 million of customer deposits, and will provide greater market density and improved operating leverage. The branch transaction is expected to be completed during the fourth quarter of 2013.
Stock Repurchase Authorization
The Company’s Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program in December 2012, authorizing the repurchase of up to 2.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock at the discretion of executive management. The authorization period started on January 1, 2013 and ends on December 31, 2013. The Company has not repurchased any stock during the first nine months of 2013.
