Exhibit 99.1
S.Y. Bancorp Announces Fourth Quarter 2009 Earnings of $0.41 Per Diluted Share, up 11% from the Year-Earlier Quarter
LOUISVILLE, Ky.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--January 26, 2010--S.Y. Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ:SYBT), parent company of Stock Yards Bank & Trust Company, with offices in the Louisville metropolitan area, Indianapolis and Cincinnati, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2009. Earnings for the fourth quarter of 2009 totaled $0.41 per diluted share, 11% ahead of the year-earlier quarter and rebounding from lower amounts earlier in 2009. In fact, earnings reached their highest level of the year in the fourth quarter of 2009. Other highlights of the fourth quarter included continued strong loan and deposit growth. Importantly, S.Y. Bancorp remained solidly profitable throughout the year despite severe economic pressures that have affected the banking industry. The following is a summary of results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2009 and 2008:

Commenting on the announcement, David Heintzman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We are very pleased to report solid and consistent earnings for 2009 – and in the year's final months, a sign of rebounding profitability against very difficult business conditions. This past year will be remembered as one of the most challenging for the banking industry since the Great Depression. Many banks will or have reported sizable losses for 2009, dragged down by mounting loan problems from overheated real estate prices. Fortunately, our presence in Louisville, Indianapolis and Cincinnati – each a relatively stable residential and commercial real estate market – has not exposed us to significant losses as property values have held up better than in many other cities. But we haven't avoided the collateral damage caused by severe credit quality issues at other banks. Healthy banks, not taxpayers, ultimately cover the cost of failed banks, and because of this, our FDIC insurance premiums increased to $2.7 million for 2009 from $127,000 just two years ago."
In the fourth quarter of 2009, capital levels remained significantly in excess of what is required to be considered "well-capitalized" under regulatory standards – the highest capital rating for financial institutions. Tier 1 leverage ratio, Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio and total risk-based capital ratio at December 31, 2009, were 10.31%, 11.80% and 13.69%, respectively, all exceeding the required minimums of 5%, 6% and 10%, respectively, necessary to be deemed a well-capitalized institution. The ratio of tangible common equity to total tangible assets (both non-GAAP measures – see reconciliation to closest GAAP measures later in this release) was 8.67% of total assets as of December 31, 2009, versus 8.83% at December 31, 2008, and 8.66% at September 30, 2009. The Company provides this ratio, in addition to those defined by banking regulators, because of its widespread use by investors as a means to evaluate capital adequacy.
S.Y. Bancorp's total assets increased 10% to $1.796 billion at December 31, 2009, from $1.629 billion at December 31, 2008, and were up 2% from $1.764 billion at September 30, 2009. Similarly, the Company's loan portfolio rose 7% to $1.440 billion at December 31, 2009, from $1.350 billion at December 31, 2008, and was 2% higher versus $1.412 billion at September 30, 2009. Deposits increased 12% to $1.418 billion at December 31, 2009, compared with $1.271 billion a year ago, and were up 4% from $1.362 billion at the end of the third quarter of 2009.
"Aside from the general measure of progress that earnings growth provides, we are gratified by several improvements in our operations and performance during 2009," Heintzman added. "The most significant of these was a continued increase in loans and deposits during the year, underscoring the strength of our competitive position and the confidence placed in us by our customers. This growth – 7% in loans for the year and 12% in deposits – affirms that we remain highly attuned to customer demands and preferences with a broad product line-up and high level of personalized service, both of which continue to set us apart as a leader in the community bank arena. Our expansion to Indianapolis and Cincinnati has played a significant role in this overall growth, accounting for more than 40% of our net loan growth in 2009 and more than one-third of the increase in our total deposits. We continue to have high expectations for these new markets as they remain on an upward trend toward achieving greater operational efficiency and market penetration. Specifically in Cincinnati, our newest market, we look forward to further growth in 2010 as we open two new offices, one in the first quarter and another in the third quarter, and begin to ramp up our commercial lending efforts. Building on experience gained in Indianapolis and with the recent move to hire seasoned lenders in Cincinnati, we expect these efforts will contribute to more rapid development of this market."
Heintzman noted that despite the adverse impact of the national economic downturn, the Company's conservative approach to credit risk enabled S.Y. Bancorp to maintain industry-leading credit quality in its loan portfolio during 2009, with non-performing assets well below 1% of total assets. In comparison, recent industry data indicates that banks with under $10 billion in assets had an average of approximately 4% of their loans in non-performing status at September 30, 2009. "Although we are pleased with the Company's performance in this area and recognize the diligent efforts of employees throughout the organization to maintain a strong focus on credit quality, we recognize that only a recovery in the general economy will ultimately bring this challenging credit cycle to an end," Heintzman added. "Until then, we will remain in our customary conservative stance toward risk management, recognizing that our ability to maintain a strong balance sheet will keep us positioned to take advantage of strategic opportunities for growth in the coming years."
Other areas that showed promise in 2009, according to Heintzman, included the Company's investment management and trust service, which reported higher fee income in the fourth quarter of 2009 – the first quarter-over-quarter upturn in revenues for the year. This improvement reflected a general recovery in the stock market over the year, as most fees largely track security values, as well as continued growth in accounts under management. Assets under management totaled $1.546 billion at December 31, 2009, up from $1.347 billion at the end of 2008.
Continued strong loan growth helped S.Y. Bancorp offset the lower net interest margin that prevailed in 2009. Net interest income – the Company's largest source of revenue – increased $816,000 or 6% in the fourth quarter of 2009 compared with the year-earlier period. In the fourth quarter of 2009, net interest margin was 20 basis points lower year over year at 3.72% versus 3.92% in the fourth quarter of 2008, but it was up 15 basis points from the year's trough seen in the third quarter of 2009. The decline in net interest margin from the fourth quarter of 2008 reflected lower prevailing interest rates over the past year and the impact of maintaining a significantly higher liquidity position in 2009, which management considers prudent given the current operating environment, as well as higher interest expense in the current year related to the Company's December 2008 issuance of trust preferred securities. The increase in net interest margin from the third quarter of 2009 largely reflected lower funding costs. For the year ended December 31, 2009, net interest income increased $1,817,000 or 3% compared with 2008. Net interest margin for the year ended December 31, 2009, was down 25 basis points to 3.68% from 3.93% a year ago.
Non-performing loans (NPLs) increased to $12,101,000 at December 31, 2009, or 0.84% of total period-end loans outstanding, from $4,710,000 at December 31, 2008, or 0.35% of loans then outstanding, reflecting the economic stress of the past year. On a linked-quarter basis, non-performing loans increased from $8,704,000 at September 30, 2009, or 0.62% of period-end loans. Non-performing assets (NPAs), which include non-performing loans, other real estate owned (OREO) and repossessed assets, reflecting similar trends, increased to $13,717,000, or 0.76% of total assets at December 31, 2009, versus $6,366,000, or 0.39% of total assets at the end of 2008, and $10,641,000, or 0.60% of total assets at September 30, 2009. The increase in NPLs and NPAs in the fourth quarter of 2009 versus the third quarter of 2009 reflected the reclassification of certain loans as non-performing that were downgraded in the third quarter; however, the Company established significant allocations in the third quarter based on those downgrades, so this reclassification did not materially affect the fourth quarter provision for loan losses. At current levels, the relative amounts of NPLs and NPAs are above the historic range for these metrics during the past five years, yet they remain substantially below industry averages. Net charge-offs in the fourth quarter of 2009 totaled $1,189,000, or 0.08% of average loans, compared with $354,000, or 0.03% of average loans, in the year-earlier quarter and $713,000, or 0.05% of average loans, in the third quarter of 2009. With annual charge-offs equivalent to 29 basis points in the past year, the Company expects that its experience will continue to compare very favorably with the industry as banks report financial results for 2009.
The Company's loan loss provision for the fourth quarter of 2009 was $1,350,000 compared with $950,000 in the year-earlier period, but was down from $3,475,000 in the third quarter of 2009. Management's actions to increase the allowance for loan losses in 2009 reflect a concern that a prolonged economic downturn continues to take a toll on the Company's loan portfolio and underlying collateral values, extending its impact further to lending relationships that have to date not been identified. The lower provision for the fourth quarter of 2009 compared with the third quarter of 2009 primarily reflects the significant allocations established last quarter in connection with the downgrading of certain loans. The increased provision for 2009 results from a consistent allowance methodology that is driven by risk ratings. Since the Company is unable to determine how long the current economic downturn will continue or when business conditions will begin to meaningfully improve, S.Y. Bancorp intends to continue with its historically conservative stance toward credit quality, remaining cautious in assessing the potential risk in the loan portfolio. The Company's allowance for loan losses was 1.39% of total loans at December 31, 2009, versus 1.14% at December 31, 2008, and 1.40% at September 30, 2009.
Because of a relatively low level of foreclosed assets, the Company thus far has been able to approach collateral sales in an orderly fashion to minimize losses. Should market conditions worsen and foreclosed assets increase significantly, this flexibility may be reduced and management may be forced to liquidate problem loans more rapidly, thus increasing the loss on these assets.
Non-interest income increased $818,000 or 12% in the fourth quarter compared with the same quarter last year, largely reflecting gains on sales of mortgage loans, realized and unrealized gains of an investment in a domestic private equity fund recorded using the equity method of accounting, and higher mortgage banking fees. Growth in investment management and trust service fees, which represents the largest component of non-interest income, also contributed to the increase in non-interest income in the fourth quarter of 2009. These increases helped offset losses on sales of securities during the quarter. For the year, non-interest income increased $1,874,000 or 7% compared with 2008, again reflecting gains on sales of mortgage loans, higher mortgage banking fees, realized and unrealized gains of an investment in a domestic private equity fund, and reduced losses on sales of securities during the year. These increases more than offset a decline in investment management and trust services in 2009.
Non-interest expense increased $514,000 or 4% in the fourth quarter of 2009 versus the same period last year. Higher non-interest expense for the quarter was due primarily to an increase of $908,000 or 14% in salaries and employee benefits expense, reflecting the creation of several new management-level positions during the past year. Higher FDIC insurance premiums contributed to increased non-interest expense in the fourth quarter of 2009. Positively affecting the year-to-year comparison were write-downs of certain investments and OREO in the year-earlier quarter that did not recur. For the year, non-interest expense rose $3,457,000 or 7% compared with 2008 largely due to an increase of $2,066,000 in FDIC insurance expense – including the second quarter 2009 special assessment – and higher salaries and employee benefits expense, which together were offset partially by lower other non-interest income due to the aforementioned write-downs in the fourth quarter of 2008. The Company's fourth quarter efficiency ratio was 58.53% compared with 60.58% in the fourth quarter of 2008 and 58.81% for 2009 compared with 57.35% in the year-earlier period.
In November, S.Y. Bancorp's Board of Directors declared its regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.17 per share. The latest dividend was distributed on January 4, 2010, to stockholders of record as of December 14, 2009. For 2009, total cash dividends declared remained at $0.68 per share, the highest level in the Company's history, even as S.Y. Bancorp maintained a strong capital base to weather recessionary conditions and position the Company for continued growth.
