PrivateBancorp Reports Earnings Per Share of $0.42 for Fourth Quarter 2006
and $1.76 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006
Earnings per share are up 21 percent year over year
Chicago, IL, January 16, 2007--- PrivateBancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: PVTB) today reported earnings of $0.42 per diluted share for the fourth quarter 2006 compared to fourth quarter 2005 earnings per diluted share of $0.39, an increase of 8 percent. Net income for the fourth quarter 2006 was $9.1 million compared to fourth quarter 2005 net income of $8.2 million. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2006, net income was $37.9 million, or $1.76 per diluted share, compared to net income of $30.9 million, or $1.46 per diluted share, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005, a 21 percent increase in diluted earnings per share between periods. The PrivateBank - Atlanta’s results of operations are included since the date of acquisition, December 13, 2006.
Fourth quarter 2006 earnings also include the impact of $853,000 in expenses related to the previously reported fraud loss discovered during the quarter, net of tax, which reduced earnings per share by $0.04.
“We were able to achieve 21 percent growth in net income year over year because organic core deposit and loan growth across our network of offices exceeded 25 percent while our credit quality remained excellent,” said Ralph B. Mandell, Chairman, President and CEO. “We accomplished this despite experiencing meaningful margin compression that began in the third quarter and continued through the remainder of the year, during which time, as expected, we also saw an increase in our occupancy and personnel expense as a result of our efforts to support our continued long-term growth. Looking forward, we will continue to concentrate on growing our franchise as we have in the past but with an intense focus on controlling expenses in order to mitigate the effects of the current yield curve environment.”
“During the quarter, we entered new markets in Atlanta, through acquisition, and Kansas City, through a de novo strategy, employing our proven formula of utilizing highly qualified, locally-based professionals who bring private banking and wealth management expertise, civic involvement and strong personal relationships to lead our efforts,” Mandell said.
The acquisition of Piedmont Bancshares closed on December 13, 2006, with total consideration paid of $47.0 million, consisting of the payment of approximately $22.3 million in cash and the issuance of approximately 611,000 shares of PrivateBancorp, Inc. common stock. The acquisition of Piedmont Bancshares had a neutral effect on earnings per share for the quarter. Earlier in the fourth quarter, a loan production office was opened in Kansas City, as a first step toward establishing a de novo bank in that market. The Kansas City initiative resulted in $144,000 of incremental operating expense during the fourth quarter.
For the fourth quarter 2006, net interest income totaled $29.8 million compared to fourth quarter 2005 net interest income of $27.7 million, primarily due to the growth in volume of earning assets more than offsetting a decrease in net interest margin. Net interest margin (on a tax equivalent basis) was 3.25 percent in the fourth quarter 2006, down from 3.55 percent in the prior year fourth quarter and 3.47 percent in the third quarter 2006. During the fourth quarter 2006, the yield on average interest earning assets decreased by 10 basis points from the third quarter 2006 while total cost of funds increased by 11 basis points.
Key factors in determining the level of provisions is our historical and anticipated charge-off rates and an analysis of credit ratings on the loans in our portfolio. The decrease in the provision from $1.7 million in the prior year fourth quarter and $1.5 million in the third quarter 2006 to $707,000 in the fourth quarter 2006 reflects the continuing trend of very low charge-offs and a stable to decreasing trend in the dollar amount of loans that have higher than normal credit risk. Net charge-offs to average total loans was 0.01 percent for the fourth quarter 2006 compared to 0.04 percent for the third quarter 2006 and 0.03 percent for the fourth quarter 2005. At December 31, 2006, nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans continued to be at a very low level at 0.25 percent, compared to 0.04 percent at December 31, 2005, and 0.06 percent at September 30, 2006, factors also considered in establishing our allowance for loan losses. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.09 percent as of December 31, 2006, down from 1.11 percent at September 30, 2006 and from 1.13 percent at December 31, 2005.
Fourth quarter 2006 non interest income was $5.6 million, a 12 percent increase over fourth quarter 2005 non interest income of $5.0 million driven primarily by a 30 percent increase in wealth management fee income. Non interest income decreased 6 percent from third quarter 2006 non interest income of $5.9 million, due primarily to the inclusion of $308,000 of net securities gains in the third quarter 2006, compared to $1,000 of securities losses in the fourth quarter 2006. Wealth management fee income increased to $3.6 million for the fourth quarter 2006, up from $2.8 million in the fourth quarter 2005 and $3.5 million in the third quarter 2006. Wealth management assets under management increased 19 percent to $2.9 billion at December 31, 2006 compared to $2.4 billion at December 31, 2005 and $2.8 billion at September 30, 2006. Mortgage banking income increased slightly to $807,000 for the fourth quarter 2006 compared to $784,000 for the fourth quarter 2005, and $804,000 during the third quarter 2006.
Non interest expense increased to $22.6 million in the fourth quarter 2006 from $18.8 million in the prior year quarter and $20.0 million in the third quarter 2006, reflecting $853,000 in expenses attributable to the fraud loss discovered during the quarter as well as increases in personnel, occupancy expense, professional fees, and wealth management fees. The efficiency ratio was 61.9 percent in the fourth quarter 2006 compared to 55.7 percent in the prior year quarter and 53.9 percent in the third quarter 2006.
The Company continues to add experienced managing directors to support continued growth. Full-time equivalent employees at December 31, 2006 increased to 471 from 386 at December 31, 2005 and from 421 at September 30, 2006. At December 31, 2006, the Company had 148 managing directors compared to 114 at December 31, 2005 and 129 managing directors at September 30, 2006. The Kansas City and Atlanta offices added 15 managing directors to the Company during the quarter.
Total assets were $4.3 billion at December 31, 2006, an increase of 22 percent from $3.5 billion at December 31, 2005, and an increase of 10 percent from $3.9 billion at September 30, 2006. At December 31, 2006, total loans were $3.5 billion, an increase of 34 percent from $2.6 billion at December 31, 2005 and up 12 percent from $3.1 billion at September 30, 2006. The Company has benefited from strong organic loan growth during 2006. Excluding loans of The PrivateBank - Atlanta at acquisition date, loans grew by 26 percent year over year and 5 percent from the third quarter 2006. The PrivateBank- Atlanta contributed $200.5 million in loans to the consolidated total at December 31, 2006.
Investment securities were $496.8 million at December 31, 2006, up from $458.9 million at September 30, 2006 and down from $695.2 million at December 31, 2005. The decrease in the investment portfolio from the prior year-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 $3.6 billion at December 31, 2006, up 26 percent from $2.8 billion at December 31, 2005 and up 10 percent from $3.2 billion at September 30, 2006. Core deposits, defined as total deposits less brokered deposits, increased 32 percent to $3.0 billion compared to $2.2 billion at December 31, 2005, and were up 18 percent, from $2.5 billion at September 30, 2006. Excluding deposits of The PrivateBank- Atlanta at acquisition date, core deposits grew by 25 percent year over year and 11 percent during the quarter. The PrivateBank - Atlanta had $177.7 million in core deposits at December 31, 2006. Brokered deposits were $589.3 million at December 31, 2006, up $2.7 million from $586.6 million at December 31, 2005 and down $131.4 million, or 18 percent, from $720.7 million at September 30, 2006. Brokered deposits were 17 percent of total deposits at December 31, 2006 compared to 21 percent at December 31, 2005 and 22 percent at September 30, 2006. Funds borrowed, which include federal funds purchased, FHLB advances and borrowings under our credit facility, decreased $7.2 million, or 2 percent, to $289.7 million at December 31, 2006 from $297.0 million at December 31, 2005, and increased 23 percent from $235.9 million at September 30, 2006.
