PrivateBancorp Reports Earnings Per Share of $0.46
Earnings per share up 24 percent over third quarter 2005
Chicago, IL, October 16, 2006--- PrivateBancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: PVTB) today reported earnings of $0.46 per diluted share for the third quarter 2006 compared to third quarter 2005 earnings per diluted share of $0.37, an increase of 24 percent. Net income for the third quarter 2006 was $9.8 million compared to third quarter 2005 net income of $7.9 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, net income was $28.8 million, or $1.34 per diluted share, compared to net income of $22.7 million, or $1.07 per diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, a 25 percent increase in diluted earnings per share between periods. Third quarter earnings include the impact of net securities gains of $1.2 million, a loss of $904,000 on an interest rate swap, and $615,000 of expenses associated with the relocation of our headquarters. The combined effect of these items decreased our diluted earnings per share by $0.01 for the third quarter.
“PrivateBancorp continued its trend of strong earnings growth based on solid operating progress during the third quarter. We experienced strong deposit and loan growth while adhering to our high credit standards. During the third quarter, we successfully relocated our headquarters into larger offices that will better serve our long-term growth needs,” said Ralph B. Mandell, Chairman, President and CEO. “In addition, we have taken other steps during the quarter to facilitate the Company’s future growth. Notably, in early August, we announced that we had agreed to acquire Piedmont Bancshares, Inc., the holding company for Piedmont Bank of Georgia, marking our initial expansion outside of the Midwest. This transaction, which is expected to close during the fourth quarter, will allow us to extend our unique brand of private banking to the fast-growing Atlanta market.”
For the third quarter 2006, net interest income totaled $30.0 million compared to third quarter 2005 net interest income of $26.3 million, primarily due to asset growth more than offsetting a decrease in net interest margin. Net interest margin (on a tax equivalent basis) was 3.47 percent in the third quarter 2006, down from 3.53 percent in the prior year third quarter and 3.55 percent in the second quarter 2006. During the third quarter 2006, the yield on average interest earning assets increased by 20 basis points while total cost of funds increased by 33 basis points from the second quarter 2006.
The third quarter 2006 provision for loan losses was $1.5 million compared to $2.0 million in the prior year third quarter and $2.4 million in the second quarter 2006. The decrease in the provision reflects a low level of non-accrual loans as well as a sequential decrease in charge-offs and non-performing loans. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.11 percent as of September 30, 2006, down from 1.13 percent at June 30, 2006 and from 1.15 percent at September 30, 2005. At September 30, 2006, nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans were 0.06 percent, compared to 0.05 percent at September 30, 2005, and down from 0.10 percent at June 30, 2006.
Third quarter 2006 non interest income of $5.9 million was 9 percent higher than third quarter 2005 non interest income of $5.5 million. The growth in non interest income as compared to the prior year third quarter was driven primarily by growth in wealth management income and other income, partially offset by a decrease in mortgage banking income. Wealth management fee income increased to $3.5 million for the third quarter 2006, up from $2.6 million in the third quarter 2005 and down slightly from $3.6 million in the second quarter 2006. Wealth management assets under management increased 35 percent to $2.8 billion at September 30, 2006 compared to $2.1 billion at September 30, 2005 and up $93.9 million from $2.7 billion at June 30, 2006. Mortgage banking income fell to $0.8 million for the third quarter 2006 compared to $1.3 million for the third quarter 2005, and $1.0 million during the second quarter 2006.
For the three months ended September 30, 2006, securities gains of $1.2 million combined with net losses of $904,000 from an interest rate swap resulted in a $308,000 gain that also affected our non interest income. For the third quarter 2005, a $644,000 gain from an interest rate swap combined with securities losses of $249,000 resulted in $395,000 of other income. During the quarter, the Company retired its investment in the interest rate swap derivative.
Non interest expense increased to $20.0 million in the third quarter 2006 from $17.2 million in the prior year quarter and $18.9 million in the second quarter 2006, reflecting increases in personnel, professional fees, wealth management fees and occupancy expenses. During the quarter, the Company moved its downtown Chicago headquarters into a larger facility. Approximately $615,000 of expenses was recognized in conjunction with the move during the quarter. These expenses are spread across the occupancy expense, marketing expense, professional fees and other expense categories, and we expect all of these expense categories to decrease in the fourth quarter.
For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2006, $0.02 and $0.06 per share, respectively, of options expense were recognized. Financial results for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2005 include $0.03 and $0.09 per share, net of tax, respectively, of options expense that is recognized as a result of the modified retrospective application of SFAS 123R, Share-Base Payment, which the Company adopted effective January 1, 2006. Option expense is expected to be $0.03 per share in the fourth quarter of 2006 resulting in $0.09 of total option expense for the full year 2006 compared to $0.12 of options expense for 2005.
The Company continues to add experienced managing directors to support continued growth. Full-time equivalent employees at quarter’s end increased to 421 from 366 at September 30, 2005 and from 409 at June 30, 2006. At September 30, 2006, the Company had 129 managing directors compared to 109 at September 30, 2005 and 126 managing directors at June 30, 2006. The efficiency ratio was 53.9 percent in the third quarter 2006 compared to 52.2 percent in the prior year quarter and 50.3 percent in the second quarter 2006. The higher ratio is primarily attributable to the aforementioned headquarters relocation costs.
Total assets were $3.9 billion at September 30, 2006, an increase of 16 percent from $3.3 billion at September 30, 2005, and an increase of 6 percent from $3.7 billion at June 30, 2006. At September 30, 2006, total loans were $3.1 billion, an increase of 30 percent from $2.4 billion at September 30, 2005 and up 6 percent from $3.0 billion at June 30, 2006. Although the Company has benefited from strong loan growth across the geographic markets it serves, growth in the third quarter was fueled especially by growth in the Michigan and Chicago-area markets.
Investment securities were $458.9 million at September 30, 2006, down from $499.8 million at June 30, 2006 and $720.1 million at September 30, 2005. The decrease in the investment portfolio from the prior year quarter’s end was due primarily to the redemption of Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago (“FHLB (Chicago)”) stock held by the Company in conjunction with its May, 2006 withdrawal of membership from the FHLB (Chicago).
Total deposits were $3.2 billion at September 30, 2006, up 26 percent from $2.6 billion at September 30, 2005 and up 4 percent from $3.1 billion at June 30, 2006. Core deposits, defined as total deposits less brokered deposits, increased 23 percent to $2.5 billion compared to $2.0 billion at September 30, 2005, and were up $140.4 million, or 6 percent, from $2.4 billion at June 30, 2006. Brokered deposits were $720.7 million at September 30, 2006, up 36 percent from $528.7 million at September 30, 2005 and down $27.3 million, or 4 percent, from $748.0 million at June 30, 2006. Funds borrowed decreased 44 percent to $235.9 million at September 30, 2006 from $417.7 million at September 30, 2005, but were up 77 percent from $133.2 million at June 30, 2006.
