BLAIRSVILLE, GA, April 18, 2006 — United Community Banks, Inc. (Nasdaq: UCBI), Georgia’s third largest bank holding company, today announced record financial results for the first quarter of 2006. Compared with the first quarter of 2005, the company achieved a 21% increase in total revenue, a 19% rise in net income and a 15% gain in diluted earnings per share.
For the first quarter of 2006, net income rose to $16.0 million compared with $13.4 million a year earlier. Diluted earnings per share increased to $.39 from $.34 a year ago. Total revenue, on a taxable equivalent basis, was $68.0 million compared with $56.1 million for the first quarter of 2005. Return on tangible equity was 17.66% and return on assets was 1.09%, compared with 19.86% and 1.06%, respectively, a year ago.
“Demand for loans and deposits was strong across all markets, leading to excellent growth opportunities.” said Jimmy Tallent, President and Chief Executive Officer of United Community Banks. “This strong growth pushed total assets above $6 billion, a 15% increase from a year ago and a significant milestone for our company. Loans increased $186 million during the first quarter, or 17% on an annualized basis, and helped drive the increase in net interest revenue. We added $271 million of deposits this quarter, which more than funded our loan growth as we continued to focus on programs to grow core deposits. Our net interest margin rose to 4.33%, up 28 basis points from a year ago and up 13 basis points from last quarter, as increasing short-term interest rates continued to positively affect our slightly asset-sensitive balance sheet. Fee revenue was up 15%, reflecting increases in every category.”
At March 31, 2006, total loans were $4.6 billion, up $707 million, or 18%, from a year ago. All of the loan growth was organic, which included growth from a significant de novo expansion in Hall County, Georgia. “Organic growth, with an uncompromising focus on sound credit quality, is at the core of our balanced growth strategy and is further supported by our focused de novo expansion,” Tallent said. “We find the right people and build around them, usually adding two to four new offices a year. In the first quarter, we opened our fifth banking office in Hall County, a second location in Savannah and a commercial loan office in Jasper, which is located in Pickens County just north of Atlanta.” Tallent continued, “Ten months ago, we entered Gainesville by partnering with three local and highly respected banking executives to form United Community Bank — Hall County. Since opening for business in May of 2005, this team has added more than $280 million in loans and $170 million in deposits. We now have 85 staff and 5 banking offices, including the main office located in downtown Gainesville. It is a testimony to the success and strength of our existing franchise that we were able to reinvest earnings to absorb these significant de novo undertakings and still deliver on our primary financial goal of consistent, sustainable double-digit growth in earnings per share.”
“The first quarter continued a trend of outstanding deposit growth. We added $271 million of deposits and over half were core deposits,” Tallent said. “Our relentless focus on the highest level of customer service has generated customer satisfaction scores that continue to exceed 90%, well above the comparable industry average of 75%. This is invaluable in building
deposits through customer referrals while also maintaining and growing long-term relationships with existing customers.”
For the first quarter, taxable equivalent net interest revenue of $59.7 million was up $11.5 million, or 24%, from the first quarter of 2005. Taxable equivalent net interest margin for the first quarter was 4.33%, compared with 4.05% a year ago and 4.20% for the fourth quarter of 2005. “Our balance sheet has remained asset sensitive, which allowed us to benefit from the rise in interest rates that produced a slight margin expansion throughout 2005 and into the first quarter of 2006,” Tallent said.
The first quarter provision for loan losses was $3.5 million, up $1.1 million from a year earlier and equal to the fourth quarter of 2005. Annualized net charge-offs to average loans were 11 basis points for the first quarter, compared with 16 basis points for the fourth quarter of 2005 and 12 basis points for the first quarter of 2005. At quarter-end, non-performing assets totaled $8.4 million compared with $13.0 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2005 and $13.7 million a year ago. Non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets were 14 basis points at quarter-end, compared with 22 basis points at December 31, 2005 and 26 basis points at March 31, 2005. “During the first quarter, our credit quality remained solid and we experienced a lower level of net charge-offs and non-performing assets. Asset quality continues to compare favorably with peer banks and can be somewhat volatile at these low levels,” Tallent said. “Strong credit quality, rooted with our guiding principle of securing loans with hard assets, is essential to our balanced growth strategy and overall success.”
Fee revenue of $11.8 million reflected an increase of $1.6 million, or 15%, from $10.2 million for the first quarter of 2005. “Fee revenue growth was achieved in every category,” Tallent stated. “Service charges and fees on deposit accounts increased $739,000 to $6.4 million, primarily due to growth in transactions and new accounts resulting from core deposit programs and ATM fees. Brokerage fees increased $408,000 to $850,000 due to strong market activity. Consulting fees of $1.6 million were up slightly, due to the growth in risk management services,” Tallent added.
Operating expenses of $42.2 million increased $7.4 million, or 21%, from the first quarter of 2005. Salaries and employee benefit costs of $27.6 million increased $5.4 million, or 24%, from the first quarter of 2005 due to an increase in staff to support our significant expansion efforts and business growth. Communications and equipment expenses increased $394,000 to $3.4 million due to further investments in technology equipment to support business growth. Advertising and public relations expense rose $525,000 to $1.9 million reflecting the continuing cost of initiatives to raise core deposits and ongoing efforts to generate brand awareness in new markets. Occupancy expense increased $264,000 to $2.9 million reflecting the increase in cost to operate additional banking offices added through de novo expansion. Postage, printing and supplies expense increased $165,000 to $1.5 million reflecting the higher cost of office supplies and courier costs resulting from the growing franchise. The increase in other operating expense was due to higher lending related costs and other expenses related to business growth. “Our operating efficiency ratio of 59.06% for the quarter is within our long-term efficiency goal of 58% to 60%, reflecting the continued strength of our existing franchise, strong revenue growth and disciplined expense controls, which more than offset the costs of reinvesting for the future through our recent expansion efforts,” Tallent said.
“Our outlook for 2006 is for operating earnings per share growth within our long-term goal of 12% to 15%, which includes dilution related to the equity offering completed during the fourth quarter of 2005 and expensing of stock options,” Tallent said. “We anticipate core loan growth will to be at the upper-end of our targeted range of 10% to 14%. Our net interest margin has benefited from rising short-term interest rates; however, we expect these rates to level-off and our margin could decrease slightly in the second half of 2006, due to further pricing competition for deposits. Our outlook assumes a stable economic environment and continued strong credit quality.”
“We are committed to excellent customer service, superior operating performance and solid credit quality as we continue our efforts to build shareholder value through our balanced growth strategy of strong internal growth, complemented by selective de novo and merger expansion,” Tallent added.
