Glacier Bancorp, Inc. (Nasdaq: GBCI) reported net earnings of $16.093 million, an increase of $2.5 million, or 18 percent, over the $13.629 million for the first quarter of 2006. Diluted earnings per share for the quarter of $.30 is an increase of 7 percent over the diluted earnings per share of $.28 for the first quarter of 2006. Net earnings was reduced by $547,230, or $.01 per share, for share-based compensation expense. "For the first time in the past three years, we experienced a more normalized first quarter," said Mick Blodnick, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Loan growth was flat and our net interest margin decreased slightly. However, over the last six quarters our net interest margin has been very consistent within a tight eight basis point range, up or down." Annualized return on average assets and return on average equity for the quarter were 1.48 percent and 14.02 percent, respectively, which compares with prior year returns for the first quarter of 1.48 percent and 16.21 percent.

Included in net earnings for the quarter is a $1.0 million gain (pre-tax gain of $1.6 million) from the January 19, 2007 sale of Western Security Bank's Lewistown branch as a condition imposed by bank regulators to complete the acquisition of Citizens Development Company ("CDC"). On January 26, 2007, three of the five CDC subsidiaries, i.e., Citizens State Bank, First Citizens Bank of Billings, and First Citizens Bank, N.A., were merged into Company subsidiaries, i.e., First Security Bank of Missoula, Western Security Bank and Glacier Bank, respectively. Costs associated with merging and converting these CDC subsidiaries, the Lewistown branch divestiture and other non-recurring expenses during the quarter were nearly $500 thousand. During June 2007, the remaining two CDC subsidiaries will be merged together.

At March 31, 2007, total assets were $4.459 billion, which is $12 million, or 0.28 percent, lower than the December 31, 2006 assets of $4.471 billion, and $656 million, or 17 percent, greater than the March 31, 2006 assets of $3.803 billion.

Total loans decreased $7 million from December 31, 2006. Commercial loans have increased $722 thousand, or 0.04 percent, real estate loans decreased $23 million, or 3 percent, and consumer loans grew by $16 million, or 3 percent. "First quarter loan production, although down 5 percent from last year's record setting quarter, was far better than expected," Blodnick said. "However, in addition to the $16 million in loans sold in the branch divestiture, we experienced an unprecedented level of loan payoffs in the quarter. Payoffs of loans with balances greater than $1 million totaled $83 million and was a headwind that was tough to overcome." Total loans have increased $640 million, or 25 percent, from March 31, 2006, with all loan categories showing increases. Commercial loans grew the most with an increase of $415 million, or 29 percent, followed by real estate loans which increased $128 million, or 20 percent, and consumer loans, which are primarily comprised of home equity loans, increasing by $97 million, or 20 percent.

Investment securities, including interest bearing deposits in other financial institutions and federal funds sold, have increased $2 million from December 31, 2006, or 0.25 percent, and have declined $90 million, or 9 percent, from March 31, 2006. Investment securities at March 31, 2007 represented 19% of total assets versus 25% the prior year. "Cash flow from the investment portfolio continues to fund higher yielding loan growth as well as reduce higher cost borrowings, thereby sustaining the net interest margin," said Ron Copher, Chief Financial Officer.

Non-interest bearing deposits have decreased $41 million, or 5 percent, since December 31, 2006, and increased by $105 million, or 15 percent, since March 31, 2006. Increasing non-interest bearing deposits continues to be a primary focus of each of our banks. Interest bearing deposits increased $32 million from December 31, 2006, with such change attributable to growth in broker originated certificates of deposits. The March 31, 2007 balance of interest bearing deposits includes $205 million in broker originated CD's and $2 million in Internet generated National Market CD's. Since March 31, 2006, interest bearing deposits increased $400 million, or 20 percent, net of a decrease of $83 million in CD's from broker and Internet sources. Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances increased $148 million, and repurchase agreements and other borrowed funds decreased $171 million from December 31, 2006, primarily from the redemption of $162 million in U.S. Treasury Tax and Loan Term Auction funds. FHLB advances are $50 million less than the March 31, 2006 balances due primarily to the above described increases in deposits.

Accumulated other comprehensive income, representing net unrealized gains on securities designated as available for sale, increased $721 thousand during the quarter, such increase primarily a function of interest rate changes and the decreased balance of securities.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the quarter increased $6.783 million, or 19 percent, over the same period in 2006, and decreased $2.258 million, or 5 percent, from the fourth quarter of 2006. Total interest income increased $15.968 million from the prior year's quarter, or 29 percent, while total interest expense was $9.185 million, or 47 percent higher. The increase in interest expense is primarily attributable to the volume increase in interest bearing liabilities, and the inverted to flat yield curve on the short end and flat on intermediate to long-term maturities. The net interest margin as a percentage of earning assets, on a tax equivalent basis, was 4.36 percent which was 3 basis points lower than the 4.39 percent result for the first quarter of 2006.

Non-interest Income

Fee income increased $1.868 million, or 23 percent, over the same period last year, driven primarily by an increased number of loan and deposit accounts from internal growth and acquisitions. Gain on sale of loans increased $852 thousand, or 39 percent, from the first quarter of last year. Other income of $2.573 million includes the $1.6 million gain from the sale of the Lewistown branch of Western Security Bank. Loan origination activity for housing construction and purchases remains strong in our markets.

Non-interest Expense

Non-interest expense increased by $7.355 million, or 28 percent, from the same quarter of 2006. Compensation and benefit expense increased $4.195 million, or 27 percent, which is primarily attributable to increased staffing levels, including staffing from the acquisitions of First National Bank of Morgan and CDC during 2006, new branches, as well as compensation and merit increases for job performance, increased cost of benefits, and overtime associated with the three CDC banks mergers and related conversions of their operating systems in the first quarter of 2007. The number of full-time-equivalent employees has increased from 1,147 to 1,395, a 22 percent increase since March 31, 2006. Occupancy and equipment expense increased $966 thousand, or 28 percent, reflecting the bank acquisitions, cost of additional branch locations and facility upgrades. Other expenses increased $1.746 million, or 30 percent, primarily from acquisitions, data conversions, additional marketing expenses, and costs associated with new branch offices. The efficiency ratio (non-interest expense/net interest income + non-interest income) was 56 percent for the 2007 first quarter, up from 54 percent for the 2006 first quarter.

Allowance for Loan Loss and Non-Performing Assets

"A continued bright spot for the Company has been our credit quality," said Blodnick. "The banks have remained diligent in the management of their loan portfolios and the first quarter numbers validate this commitment." Non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets at March 31, 2007 were at .25 percent, down from .27 percent at March 31, 2006, but increasing slightly from .19 percent at December 31, 2006. The Company ratios compare favorably to the Federal Reserve Bank Peer Group average of .43 percent at December 31, 2006, the most recent information available. The allowance for loan losses was 447 percent of non-performing assets at March 31, 2007, up from 386 percent a year ago. The allowance, including $6.091 million from acquisitions, has increased $10.689 million, or 27 percent, from a year ago. The allowance of $50.540 million, is 1.58 percent of March 31, 2007 total loans outstanding, up slightly from the 1.55 percent a year ago. The first quarter provision for loan losses expense was $1.195 million, an increase of $30 thousand from the same quarter in 2006, and was a decrease of $157 thousand from the fourth quarter of 2006. Recovery of previously charged-off loans exceeded amounts charged-off during the quarter by $86,000. Loan growth, average loan size, and credit quality considerations will determine the level of additional provision expense.

Cash dividend

On March 28, 2007, the board of directors declared a cash dividend of $.12 payable April 19, 2007 to shareholders of record on April 10, 2007, which is an increase of 9 percent over the $.11 dividend declared in the first quarter of last year.

Acquisition announced

A definitive agreement to acquire North Side State Bank of Rock Springs, Wyoming, ("North Side") was announced on January 22, 2007. As of March 31, 2007, North Side had total assets of $122 million and deposits of $102 million. Shareholder and all regulatory approvals have been obtained and North Side will merge into 1st Bank, the Company's Evanston, Wyoming subsidiary.
