TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS
Dear Shareholder:
Your first quarter dividend payment is enclosed with this letter and financial summary. As a result of improving quarterly performance, your directors voted to increase the quarterly cash dividend by $0.02 to $0.16 per share. This is a 14.3% increase over the prior year and represents the fourth consecutive year that your cash dividend has been increased.
We are pleased to report unaudited net income of $774,000 for the first quarter of 2006. This represents a 16% increase over first quarter 2005 results of $667,000. First quarter basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.30 versus $0.25 in 2005, a 20% increase.
These results reflect continued improvements in net interest margin, credit quality, and the efficiency ratio. Our net interest margin improved as the Federal Reserve continued to raise targeted rates, providing increases in both variable rate loan and investment yields. Simultaneously, the rising rate environment has been fundamental in allowing us to increase rates paid on deposits.
We also want to make sure you are aware of some changes that have occurred in the CSB management team during the past quarter. Rick L. Ginther has been named President and Chief Executive Officer of The Commercial & Savings Bank. Mr. Ginther formally served as Senior Vice President and Chief Lending Officer for the Bank. Along with Mr. Ginther, Paul D. Greig and Paula J. Meiler continue in their respective executive management roles as Senior Vice President, Chief Operations Officer and Senior Vice President, Chief Financial Officer. In addition, Eddie L. Steiner has been appointed President and Chief Executive Officer of CSB Bancorp, Inc. and will begin his duties on or before April 19. Mr. Steiner has been a director of both the Bank and its holding company for the past five years. These individuals, along with the entire CSB team of officers and employees, remain very committed to providing the high level of performance and service that our customers and shareholders deserve.
Thank you for your continued support and we look forward to seeing you at the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting at the Carlisle Inn in Walnut Creek, Ohio on April 26, 2006.
Sincerely,
