SUMMIT FINANCIAL GROUP REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 2015 RESULTS

Q4 2015 Diluted EPS $0.39 compared to $0.32 for Q4 2014; Full year 2015 Diluted EPS $1.50 compared to $1.17 for 2014

MOOREFIELD, WV - January 25, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Summit Financial Group, Inc. (“Company” or “Summit”) (NASDAQ: SMMF) today reported fourth quarter 2015 net income applicable to common shares of $4.15 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, compared to $3.01 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2014, representing an increase of 37.8 percent, or 21.9 percent per diluted share. Q4 2015 earnings compared to Q4 2014 were positively impacted by a $782,000 increase in net interest income and a $314,000 gain on sale of foreclosed properties, but were negatively impacted by a $336,000 increase in write-downs of foreclosed properties and a $250,000 provision for loan losses compared to zero for Q4 2014.

Excluding from fourth quarter 2015 (on a pre-tax basis) realized securities gains of $421,000, gains on sales of foreclosed properties of $314,000, write-downs of foreclosed properties of $636,000, Q4 2015 core earnings approximated $4.08 million, or $0.38 per diluted share. Excluding from Q4 2014 (on a pre-tax basis) realized securities gains of $149,000, losses on sales of foreclosed properties of $628,000, a $461,000 fraud loss, and write-downs of foreclosed properties of $300,000, Q4 2014 core earnings approximated $3.79 million, or $0.40 per diluted share. Increased common shares outstanding resulting from common stock issuances during the past year accounted for the $0.02 decline in quarterly year-over-year core diluted earnings per share, despite the increase in earnings.

For the year ended December 31, 2015, Summit recorded net income applicable to common shares of $16.10 million, or $1.50 per diluted share, compared with $10.59 million, or $1.17 per diluted share, for 2014, representing an increase of 52.1%, or 28.2% per diluted share.

Excluding from the full-year 2015 nonrecurring items (on a pre-tax basis) comprised of realized securities gains of $1.44 million, gains on sales of foreclosed properties of $26,000, and write-downs of foreclosed properties of $2.42 million, and from the 2014

full year realized securities gains of $213,000, losses on sale of foreclosed properties of $827,000, a $461,000 fraud loss, and write-downs of foreclosed properties of $3.77 million, core earnings for full-year 2015 were approximately $16.70 million, or $1.56 per diluted share, compared to $13.64 million, or $1.50 per diluted share, for full-year 2014.

Highlights for Q4 2015 include:

• 2015 was the most profitable year in Summit’s history, with net income of $16.10 million, or $1.50 per diluted share.

• Net interest margin increased 10 basis points compared to the linked quarter, and is 9 basis points higher than Q4 2014.

• Core revenues increased $255,000, or 1.8 percent (non-annualized) during Q4 2015, and $3.04 million, or 5.7 percent during 2015.

• Loan portfolio grew $17.2 million, or 1.6 percent (non-annualized) during Q4 2015, and $59.8 million, or 5.8 percent during 2015.

• Nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets declined to 2.77 percent compared to 3.07 percent for the linked quarter, and 3.48 percent at year end 2014; foreclosed properties are at the lowest level since Q2 2009.

• Recorded charges of $636,000 to write-down foreclosed properties compared to $1.05 million in Q3 2015 and $300,000 in Q4 2014.

H. Charles Maddy III, President and Chief Executive Officer of Summit, commented, “The year just concluded marked a significant milestone towards Summit’s goal of being a consistent, high-performing community banking institution. Our improved earnings performance, increased return on assets and equity, growing loan portfolio, increasing revenues, improved net interest margin, strengthened capital, and continuing reductions in the portfolio of problem assets, all serve as evidence towards achievement of this goal. Further, we are very pleased to end 2015 with another exceptional quarter of solid performance, which gives us optimism as we look forward to 2016 and beyond.”

Results from Operations

Total revenue for fourth quarter 2015, consisting of net interest income and noninterest income, grew 6.0 percent to $14.6 million compared to $13.8 million for the fourth quarter 2014. For the year-to-date period ended December 31, 2015, total revenue was $57.9 million compared to $53.6 million for 2014, representing a 8.0 percent increase.

Total core revenue (excluding nonrecurring items, enumerated above) was $14.2 million for fourth quarter 2015 compared to $13.6 million for the same prior-year quarter, an increase of 4.1 percent. For full-year 2015, total core revenue (excluding nonrecurring items) was $56.4 million compared to $53.4 million for full-year 2014, a 5.7 percent improvement.

$428,000 more than the linked quarter. The net interest margin for fourth quarter 2015 was 3.51 percent compared to 3.42 percent for the year-ago quarter, and 3.41 percent for the linked quarter.

Noninterest income, consisting primarily of insurance commissions from Summit's insurance agency subsidiary and service fee income from community banking activities, for fourth quarter 2015 was $2.87 million compared to $2.82 million for the comparable period of 2014. Excluding realized securities gains/losses, noninterest income was $2.45 million for fourth quarter 2015, compared to $2.67 million reported for fourth quarter 2014.

Summit recognized $250,000 provision for loan losses in both the fourth quarter 2015, and the linked quarter, compared to none for the year-ago quarter.

Core noninterest expense continues to be well-controlled. Total noninterest expense decreased 6.8% to $8.49 million compared to $9.11 million for the prior-year fourth quarter. Excluding from noninterest expense (on a pre-tax basis) gains on sales of foreclosed properties of $314,000 in Q4 2015 and losses of $628,000 in Q4 2014, write-downs of foreclosed properties of $636,000 in Q4 2015 and $300,000 in Q4 2014, and a fraud loss in Q4 2014 of $461,000, noninterest expense would have approximated $8.17 million for Q4 2015 compared to $7.72 million for the comparable period of 2014. Noninterest expense for the full-year 2015 decreased 4.8% compared to 2014.
