Net interest income for the year increased $28.281 million, or 22 percent, over 2005. Total interest income increased $63.341 million, or 33 percent, while total interest expense increased $35.060 million, or 58 percent. The increase in interest expense is attributable to the volume increase in interest bearing deposits, and increases in short term interest rates during 2005 and continuing in 2006. The acquisitions during 2005 and 2006 were also a significant factor in the level of interest income and expense. The net interest margin as a percentage of earning assets, on a tax equivalent basis, was 4.35 percent which was 15 basis points higher than the 4.20 percent result for 2005.
Total non-interest income increased $7.216 million, or 16 percent in 2006. Fee income increased $6.260 million, or 20 percent, over last year, driven primarily by an increased number of loan and deposit accounts, acquisitions, and additional customer products and services offered. Gain on sale of loans decreased $229 thousand, or 2 percent, from last year. Loan origination volume in our markets for housing continues to remain very active by historical standards and the decline was expected with the slow down from unprecedented activity last year. Other income increased $1.050 million of which $543 thousand was non-recurring bank owned life insurance proceeds.
Non-interest Expense
Non-interest expense increased by $21.624 million, or 24 percent, from 2005. Compensation and benefit expense increased $14.034 million, or 27 percent. Excluding SFAS 123(R) compensation cost of $3.018 million the increase would have been 21 percent. The remaining increase in compensation and benefit expense was primarily attributed to four acquisitions during 2005, two acquisitions in 2006, the addition of six new bank branches in 2006, and normal compensation increases for job performance and increased costs for benefits. Occupancy and equipment expense increased $2.417 million, or 19 percent, reflecting the acquisitions, cost of additional locations and facility upgrades. Other expenses increased $3.670 million, or 16 percent, primarily from acquisitions, additional marketing expenses, and costs associated with new branch offices. The efficiency ratio (non-interest expense/net interest income + non-interest income) increased to 54 percent from 52 percent for 2005 largely a result of the acquisitions and branch openings.
Allowance for Loan Loss and Non-Performing Assets
The provision for loan losses expense was $5.192 million for 2006, a decrease of $831 thousand, or 14 percent, from 2005. Net charged off loans was $680 thousand, or .021% of loans, for 2006 which is slightly higher than the $487 thousand of net charge offs in 2005.
Cash dividend
On December 27, 2006, the board of directors declared a cash dividend of $0.12 payable January 18, 2007 to shareholders of record on January 11, 2007, resulting in total 2006 declared dividends of $.45 which is an increase of 12.5 percent over the $0.40 dividend declared last year.
Sale of Lewistown Branch of Western Security Bank
As previously announced, as a condition imposed by the bank regulators to acquire Citizens Development Company, the Company completed the sale of its Western Security Lewistown branch on January 19, 2007 to the Bank of the Rockies. The branch had estimated loans of $16 million and deposits of $25 million and was sold with an estimated gain of $1.6 million.
Bank acquisition announced after year end
A definitive agreement to acquire North Side State Bank of Rock Springs, Wyoming, was announced on January 22, 2007. As of September 30, 2006 North Side had total assets of $121 million and deposits of approximately $100 million. Upon completion of the transaction, which is subject to regulatory approval and other customary conditions of closing, North Side will be merged into 1st Bank, the Company’s Evanston, Wyoming subsidiary.
