ANGOLA, NY, October 30, 2006 – Evans Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: EVBN), a financial services company serving Western New York, today reported a 2.1% increase in net income to $1.282 million for the third quarter which ended September 30, 2006. On a per share basis, earnings grew 2.2% to $0.47 per diluted share. The results for the quarter are compared with third quarter 2005 results of $1.256 million in net income or $0.46 per diluted share. On a year-to-date basis, net income grew 1.8% to $3.759 million in fiscal 2006 from $3.693 million in fiscal 2005. On a per diluted share basis, earnings grew 1.5% to $1.38 in fiscal 2006 from $1.36 in fiscal 2005.
James Tilley, President and CEO of Evans Bancorp, Inc., commented, “Despite the challenges presented by the current interest rate environment and soft insurance market, our strategy to increase our lines of business and sources of revenue combined with careful fiscal management have resulted in relatively steady performance with moderate earnings growth. We have focused on growing commercial leasing, maintaining good credit quality and managing our expenses.”
Revenue and Expenses Total interest income for the third quarter of 2006 was $6.7 million, up $0.8 million, or 13.4%, from the same period last year. Interest income from loans and leases increased 21.7%, or $0.9 million, to $5.2 million on a larger loan and lease base. Approximately $0.5 million of the increase in loan and lease interest income was related to the Company’s national leasing subsidiary’s growth in revenue. Net loans and leases were $275.3 million at the end of the third quarter this year, up $26.6 million, or 10.7%, from $248.7 million a year ago. Higher interest income was offset by a $0.9 million, or 41.3%, increase in interest expense to $3.1 million from $2.2 million in the third quarter last year. Higher interest expense reflects elevated interest paid on deposits. Excluding $0.1 million in negotiated incremental interest income from a commercial loan paid off in last year’s third quarter, third quarter 2006 net interest income of $3.6 million was flat with the 2005 third quarter.
The Company’s net interest margin for the quarter was 3.50%, down slightly from last year’s third quarter net interest margin of 3.59%. Net interest income after the provision for loan losses was $3.3 million in the third quarter 2006, down from $3.5 million in the same period of 2005. A higher provision for loan and lease losses reflects the growth in the allowance for loan and lease losses primarily due to a larger loan and lease base over last year.
Total non-interest income for the third quarter of 2006, approximately 29% of total revenue, was $2.7 million, an increase of 8.9%, or $0.2 million, over the third quarter of 2005. Higher net gains on sales of securities of $0.1 million and growth in other miscellaneous non-interest income of $0.2 million in the 2006 third quarter more than offset slight declines in insurance services and fees. Higher other income was primarily from loan and lease-volume driven revenue which includes commercial prepayment penalties and lease fee income. Insurance service and fees have been impacted by the soft insurance market which has resulted in lower property and casualty premiums for both commercial and retail lines of business.
Non-interest expense for the third quarter of 2006 held relatively flat at $4.3 million compared with the third quarter of 2005. A $0.1 million, or 4.7%, increase in salaries and employee benefits due to annual merit pay increases and additional staffing was offset by lower spending on supplies, advertising, professional services, other insurance, and other miscellaneous expenses. The Company has implemented expense control to offset the impact of the challenging interest rate environment. The effective tax rate for the quarter was 26.9% compared with a rate of 28.4% from the same period last year, primarily due to a higher percentage of tax advantaged income in 2006.
Balance Sheet Trends and Asset Quality At September 30, 2006, total assets were $465.5 million compared with $459.5 million at September 30, 2005 and $468.5 million at December 31, 2005. Net loans increased $26.6 million or 10.7% to $275.3 million from $248.7 million at September 30, 2005, and increased $18.5 million or 7.2% from $256.8 at December 31, 2005. The higher loan balances are attributed to a strong residential mortgage market, success with expanding the Company’s small-ticket equipment leasing and moderately strong commercial mortgage demand, despite an unusually high degree of prepayment activity.
Deposits increased $4.3 million, or 1.2%, compared with the third quarter last year, and increased $22.4 million, or 6.6%, compared with December 31, 2005 to $359.2 million. The growth in deposits during 2006 has mainly been due to large, higher cost, certificates of deposits. The Company redesigned its retail deposit product suite in the first half of the year to focus on growing its core deposit base.
The allowance for loan and lease losses to total loans and leases was 1.32% compared with 1.32% at September 30, 2005, while nonperforming loans and leases to total loans and leases decreased to 0.24%, a 60 basis point improvement over September 30, 2005.
Stockholders’ equity was $38.7 million as of September 30, 2006, up from $36.0 million at the end of the third quarter last year.
Outlook Mr. Tilley concluded, “We are developing processes and training to improve the cross-selling capabilities of our associates to promote the full breadth of the Company’s products and services. We believe that successful cross-selling will result in stronger customer relationships. These relationships, our business mix, and success in managing operating expense levels, we think, will make us highly competitive in our market, improve our earnings power and help to overcome the challenging interest rate environment and soft insurance market that we believe will continue at least through the remainder of the year.”
