Management’s Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward-Looking Statements. This management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, the notes to Southwest’s unaudited consolidated financial statements, and other portions of this report include forward-looking statements such as: statements of Southwest’s goals, intentions, and expectations; estimates of risks and of future costs and benefits; expectations regarding future financial performance of Southwest and its operating segments; assessments of loan quality, probable loan losses, and the amount and timing of loan payoffs; liquidity, contractual obligations, off-balance sheet risk, and market or interest rate risk; and statements of Southwest’s ability to achieve financial and other goals. These forward-looking statements are subject to significant uncertainties because they are based upon: the amount and timing of future changes in interest rates, market behavior, and other economic conditions; future laws, regulations, and accounting principles; and a variety of other matters. Because of these uncertainties, the actual future results may be materially different from the results indicated by these forward-looking statements. In addition, Southwest’s past growth and performance do not necessarily indicate its future results.
You should read this management’s discussion and analysis of Southwest’s consolidated financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with Southwest’s unaudited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes.
GENERAL
Southwest Bancorp, Inc. (“Southwest”) is a financial holding company for the Stillwater National Bank and Trust Company (“Stillwater National”), SNB Bank of Wichita (“SNB Wichita”), Healthcare Strategic Support, Inc. (“HSSI”), and Business Consulting Group, Inc. (“BCG”). Through its subsidiaries, Southwest offers commercial and consumer lending, deposit and investment services, and specialized cash management, consulting and other financial services from offices in Oklahoma City, Stillwater, Tulsa, and Chickasha, Oklahoma; Wichita and Kansas City, Kansas; and Dallas, Austin and San Antonio, Texas and on the Internet, through SNB DirectBanker®. Southwest’s banking philosophy is to provide a high level of customer service, a wide range of financial services, and products responsive to customer needs with a focus on serving healthcare and health professionals, businesses and their managers and owners, and commercial and commercial real estate borrowers. This philosophy has led to the development of a line of deposit, lending, and other financial products that respond to professional and commercial customer needs for speed, efficiency, and information, and complement more traditional banking products. Such specialized financial services include integrated document imaging and cash management services designed to help our customers in the healthcare industry and other record-intensive enterprises operate more efficiently, and management consulting services through Southwest’s management consulting subsidiaries: HSSI, which serves physicians, hospitals, and healthcare groups, and BCG, which serves small and large commercial enterprises. Information regarding Southwest is available on line at www.oksb.com. Information regarding the products and services of Southwest’s subsidiaries is available on line at www.banksnb.com and www.snbwichita.com. The information on these websites is not a part of this report on form 10-Q.
Southwest’s strategic focus includes expansion in carefully selected geographic markets based upon a tested business model developed in connection with its expansion into Oklahoma City in 1982 and into Tulsa in 1985. This geographic expansion is based on identification of markets with concentrations of customers in Southwest’s traditional areas of expertise: healthcare and health professionals, businesses and their managers and owners, and commercial and commercial real estate lending, and makes use of traditional and specialized financial services.
Beginning in 2002, Southwest has expanded operations into the states of Kansas and Texas. At March 31, 2006, these offices accounted for $545.8 million in loans (39% of portfolio loans and 31% of total loans, which include loans held for sale). During the first three months of 2006, these offices produced $1.4 million in net income (22% of the consolidated total), and $22.5 million in asset growth. Southwest has received regulatory approval to open two branch offices in Austin, Texas and one branch office in San Antonio, Texas to replace existing loan production offices; one of the Austin branches and one in San Antonio is currently accepting deposits.

Southwest currently plans to open two to four additional offices in Texas, including one or more in the Houston area. The timing of new office openings in these targeted markets depends primarily on executive staffing..
The Oklahoma Banking segment accounted for $2.9 million, or 46%, of year-to-date net income, and experienced a $9.3 million increase in total assets during the first three months of 2006.
Southwest has a long history of student and residential mortgage lending. These operations comprise the Secondary Market business segment. During the first three months of 2006, this segment produced $1.6 million in net income, and $676,000 in asset growth since December 31, 2005. Asset growth was limited during the first quarter because, while originations of student loans totaled $217.4 million during the quarter, sales proceeds totaled $216.8 million resulting in minimal change in the balance of student loans outstanding at quarter-end. Loan volumes in the Secondary Market segment may vary significantly from period to period.
Southwest conducts general consumer banking operations, and may establish or acquire additional community banking offices in selected markets.
For additional information on Southwest’s operating segments, please see Note 9, Operating Segments, in the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. The total of net income of the segments discussed above does not equal consolidated net income for the first three months of 2006 due to income and expenses allocated to the Other Operations segment, which provides funding and liquidity services to the rest of the organization.
Southwest was organized in 1981 as the holding company for Stillwater National, which was chartered in 1894. Southwest has established and pursued a strategy of independent operation for the benefit of all of its shareholders. Southwest became a public company in late 1993 with assets of approximately $434 million. At March 31, 2006, Southwest had total assets of $2.1 billion, deposits of $1.7 billion, and shareholders’ equity of $176.9 million.
Recent Developments
On April 26, 2006, Southwest entered into an agreement to acquire McMullen Bank, which has offices in San Antonio and Tilden, Texas. This all-cash acquisition is part of Southwest’s Texas branching strategy, and will provide an additional branch in the San Antonio Market—one that has high concentrations of healthcare, business professional, and commercial real estate enterprises. McMullen Bank has assets of approximately $35 million. Because of its size, the acquisition is not expected to have a material effect on Southwest’s 2006 or 2007 earnings, but is expected to provide a base for continued loan and deposit growth in the greater San Antonio Market. In the acquisition, which is subject to the approval of McMullen Bank’s shareholders and regulatory authorities, McMullen Bank would be merged into Stillwater National, which plans to continue operating its current San Antonio office and both of McMullen Bank’s offices after the merger. Closing is expected in the third quarter.
In February 2006, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Statement No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments, Southwest does not have any financial instruments that would be subject to this statement and does not anticipate that the related adoption of the statement effective January 1, 2007, will have any material effects.

Management determines the appropriate level of the allowance for loan losses using a systematic methodology. (See Note 5, “Allowance for Loan Losses and Reserve for Unfunded Loan Commitments,” in the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.) The allowance for loan losses increased by $948,000, or 4%, from December 31, 2005 to March 31, 2006. The increase in the allowance was the result of increases in loss factors for performing secured commercial loans and other installment and consumer loans, greater allowances relating to high risk rated but unimpaired loans, and an increase in the general allocation allowance, offset in part by a decrease in the allowance required for impaired loans.
At March 31, 2006, the allowance for loan losses was $24.8 million, or 1.39% of total loans and 97.80% of nonperforming loans, compared to $23.8 million, or 1.37% of total loans and 100.96% of nonperforming loans, at December 31, 2005. (See “Results of Operations-Provision for Loan Losses.”)
At the beginning of 2005, Southwest reported a reserve for unfunded loan commitments as a liability on Southwest’s statement of financial condition. The reserve formerly was presented within the allowance for loan losses. At March 31, 2006, this reserve for unfunded loan commitments was $1.5 million, a $368,000, or 19%, decrease from the amount at December 31, 2005.

Deposits and Other Borrowings
Southwest’s deposits were $1.7 billion at March 31, 2006, an increase of $41.4 million, or 3%, from $1.7 billion at December 31, 2005. Increases occurred in all categories of deposits other than money market accounts as shown in the following table:

Stillwater National has unsecured brokered certificate of deposit lines of credit in connection with its retail certificate of deposit program from Merrill Lynch & Co., Citigroup Global Markets, Inc., Wachovia Securities LLC, UBS Financial Services, Inc., RBC Dain Rauscher, Morgan Stanley & Co., Inc., and CountryWide Securities that total $1.5 billion. At March 31, 2006, $399.2 million in these retail certificates of deposit were included in time deposits of $100,000 or more, an increase of $20.4 million, or 5%, from year-end 2005.
Other borrowings decreased $892,000, or less than 1%, to $203.6 million during the first three months of 2006.
Shareholders’ Equity
Shareholders’ equity increased $6.5 million, or 4%, due primarily to earnings of $6.3 million for the first three months of 2006, offset by dividends declared totaling $1.2 million. Sales of common stock through the dividend reinvestment plan, the employee stock purchase plan, and the employee stock option plan contributed an additional $1.9 million to shareholders’ equity in the first quarter, including tax benefits realized by Southwest relating to option exercises. Net unrealized holding losses on investment securities available for sale (net of tax) increased to a loss of $3.8 million at March 31, 2006 compared to a loss of $3.3 million at December 31, 2005.
At March 31, 2006, Southwest, Stillwater National and SNB Wichita continued to exceed all applicable regulatory capital requirements.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FOR THE THREE MONTH PERIODS ENDED MARCH 31, 2006 and 2005
Net income for the first quarter of 2006 of $6.3 million represented an increase of $893,000, or 17%, over the $5.4 million earned in the first quarter of 2005. Diluted earnings per share were $0.44 compared to $0.43, a 2% increase. In late June 2005, Southwest completed a public offering of its common stock to provide funds for future growth. The difference between the percentage growth in net income and growth in earnings per share reflects the effects of the additional shares issued in this offering. The increase in net income was primarily the result of a $1.2 million, or 5%, increase in net interest income (fueled by growth of interest-earning assets), a $1.6 million, or 38%, decrease in the provision for loan losses, and a $248,000, or 7%, increase in other income (due mainly to increased service charges on deposit accounts), offset in part by a $1.0 million, or 9%, increase in other expense (mainly as a result of increased salaries and employee benefits, occupancy, and general and administrative expenses), and a $1.1 million, or 37%, increase in taxes on income.
On an operating segment basis, the increase in net income was led by a $1.3 million increase from the Oklahoma Banking segment, an $857,000 increase from the Other States Banking segment, and a $561,000 increase from the Other Operations segment partially offset by a $1.8 million reduction from the Secondary Market segment. The contribution from the Secondary Market segment may vary significantly from period to period as a result of

changes in loan volume, interest rates and market behavior; the number of schools participating in Southwest’s student lending programs, the sizes of their enrollment, and the graduation status of student borrowers; and other factors.

Net interest income is the difference between the interest income Southwest earns on its loans, investments and other interest-earning assets, and the interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. Because different types of assets and liabilities owned by Southwest may react differently, and at different times, to changes in market interest rates, net interest income is affected by changes in market interest rates. When interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice more quickly than interest-earning assets in a period, an increase of market rates of interest could reduce net interest income. Similarly, when interest-earning assets mature or reprice more quickly than interest-bearing liabilities, falling interest rates could reduce net interest income.
Yields on Southwest’s interest-earning assets increased 99 basis points, and the rates paid on Southwest’s interest-bearing liabilities increased 133 basis points, resulting in a decrease in the interest rate spread to 3.74% for the first quarter of 2006 from 4.08% for the first quarter of 2005. During the same periods, annualized net interest margin decreased to 4.34% from 4.42% and the ratio of average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities increased to 117.87% from 114.67%.
The increase in interest income was the result of the 99 basis point increase in the yield earned on interest-earning assets and the $144.5 million, or 7%, increase in average interest-earning assets. Southwest’s average loans increased $92.5 million, or 5%, and the related yield increased to 8.24% for the first quarter of 2006 from 7.08% in 2005. During the same period, average investment securities increased $53.5 million, or 24%, and the related yield increased to 3.98% from 3.72%.
The increase in total interest expense can be attributed to the 133 basis point increase in the rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities and the $76.8 million, or 5%, increase in average interest-bearing liabilities. The decrease in interest expense on subordinated debentures is due to the redemption of one issue of subordinated debentures during the second quarter 2005 partially offset by rate increases on the remaining two variable rate

issuances of subordinated debentures. Rates paid on deposits decreased modestly for interest-bearing demand and savings accounts while increasing 144 basis points overall for deposits.

Southwest’s multi-state ATM network operated 297 ATM machines in 30 states at March 31, 2006 compared to 292 ATM machines in 26 states at March 31, 2005.
The major factor in the increase of other customer fees was a $60,000 increase in brokerage fees.
Consulting fee income generated by Southwest’s consulting subsidiaries, BCG and HSSI, increased $193,000 in the first quarter 2006 over the same period of 2005, the major contributor in the increase of other noninterest income.
During 2006, Southwest determined that the unrealized losses associated with certain debt securities were other than temporary due to sustained declines in market value. Because management does not intend to hold these securities for a period of time sufficient for them to recover the unrealized losses, impairment charges of $263,000 were recorded in the first quarter 2006 to reduce the carrying values of the securities to their market values.

Salaries and employee benefits increased $1.0 million primarily as a result of an increase in the number of employees as well as normal compensation increases. The number of full-time equivalent employees increased from 367 at the end of the first quarter of 2005 to 390 at the end of the first quarter of 2006.

The primary factor in the increase of occupancy expense was a $155,000 increase related to the amortization expense of maintenance contracts on additional imaging equipment.

Provisions for Loan Losses and for Unfunded Loan Commitments
Southwest makes provisions for loan losses in amounts necessary to maintain the allowance for loan losses and the reserve for unfunded loan commitments at the levels Southwest determines is appropriate based on a systematic methodology. (See Note 5, “Allowance for Loan Losses and Reserve for Unfunded Loan Commitments,” in the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.)
The allowance for loan losses of $24.8 million increased $948,000, or 4%, from year-end 2005. A provision for loan losses of $2.7 million was recorded in the first three months of 2006, an decrease of $1.6 million, or 38%, from the first three months of 2005. (See Note 4, “Loans Receivable,” in the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.)
At March 31, 2006, the reserve for unfunded loan commitments was $1.5 million, a $368,000, or 19%, decrease from the amount reported at December 31, 2005. This reserve is included in other liabilities. The related provision for unfunded loan commitments is a component of general and administrative expense.
Taxes on Income
Southwest’s income tax expense was $4.1 million and $3.0 million for the first three months of 2006 and 2005, respectively, an increase of $1.1 million, or 37%.
LIQUIDITY
Liquidity is measured by a financial institution’s ability to raise funds through deposits, borrowed funds, capital, or the sale of highly marketable assets such as student loans, residential mortgage loans, and SBA loans, and available for sale investments. Additional sources of liquidity, including cash flow from the repayment of loans and the sale of participations in outstanding loans, are also considered in determining whether liquidity is satisfactory. Liquidity is also achieved through growth of deposits and liquid assets and accessibility to the capital and money markets. These funds are used to meet deposit withdrawals, maintain reserve requirements, fund loans, and operate the organization.
Southwest, Stillwater National, and SNB Wichita have available various forms of short-term borrowings for cash management and liquidity purposes.

During the first three months of 2006, cash and cash equivalents increased by $2.1 million, or 4%, to $52.3 million. This increase was the net result of cash provided from financing activities of $40.9 million (primarily from an increase in deposits) and cash provided from operating activities of $8.0 million, offset in part by cash used in net loan origination and other investing activities of $46.8 million.
During the first three months of 2005, cash and cash equivalents increased by $23.7 million, or 99%, to $47.8 million. This increase was the net result of cash provided from financing activities of $76.7 million (primarily from an increase in deposits) offset in part by cash used in net loan origination and other investing activities of $17.1 million and cash used in operating activities of $35.9 million, primarily to fund an increase in loans held for sale.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
In the first three months of 2006, total shareholders’ equity increased $6.5 million, or 4%, to $176.9 million due primarily to earnings of $6.3 million, net of $1.2 million in cash dividends declared on common stock. The sale or issuance of common stock through the dividend reinvestment plan, the employee stock purchase plan, and the employee stock option plan and the issuance of restricted stock contributed an additional $1.9 million to shareholders’ equity in the first three months of 2006, including tax benefits realized by Southwest relating to option exercises. Accumulated comprehensive income (loss), consisting of net unrealized gains (losses) on investment securities available for sale (net of tax), was $(3.8) million at March 31, 2006 compared to $(3.3) million at December 31, 2005.
Bank holding companies are required to maintain capital ratios in accordance with guidelines adopted by the Federal Reserve Board (“FRB”). The guidelines are commonly known as Risk-Based Capital Guidelines. At March 31, 2006, Southwest exceeded all applicable capital requirements, having a total risk-based capital ratio of 13.87%, a Tier I risk-based capital ratio of 12.62%, and a leverage ratio of 10.37%. As of March 31, 2006, Stillwater National and SNB Wichita also met the criteria for classification as “well-capitalized” institutions under the prompt corrective action rules promulgated under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act. Designation as a well-capitalized institution under these regulations does not constitute a recommendation or endorsement of Southwest, Stillwater National or SNB Wichita by Federal bank or thrift regulators.
Southwest declared a dividend of $0.0825 per common share payable on April 3, 2006 to shareholders of record as of March 17, 2006.

EFFECTS OF INFLATION
The unaudited consolidated financial statements and related unaudited consolidated financial data presented herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and practices within the banking industry which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering fluctuations in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a more significant impact on a financial institution’s performance than do the effects of general levels of inflation.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
See Note 6. “Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” to the Unaudited consolidated financial statements, above which is incorporated herein by reference. Management has determined that no additional disclosures are necessary to assess changes in information about market risk that have occurred since December 31, 2005.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by SEC rules, Southwest’s management evaluated the effectiveness of Southwest’s disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2006. Southwest’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer participated in the evaluation. Based on this evaluation, Southwest’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that Southwest’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2006.
First Three Months 2006 Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
No change occurred during the first three months of 2006 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, Southwest’s internal control over financial reporting.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
None of the financial measures used in this report are defined as non-GAAP financial measures under federal securities regulations. Other banking organizations, however, may present such non-GAAP financial measures, which differ from measures based upon accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. For example, such non-GAAP measures may exclude certain income or expense items in calculating operating income or efficiency ratios, or may increase yields and margins to reflect the benefits of tax-exempt interest-earning assets. Readers of this report should be aware that non-GAAP ratios and other measures presented by some banking organizations or financial analysts may not be directly comparable to similarly named ratios or other measures used by Southwest or other banking organizations.
