Dubuque, Iowa, April 28, 2008—Heartland Financial USA, Inc. (NASDAQ: HTLF) today reported earnings for the first quarter of 2008. Net income was $6.3 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, compared to $5.8 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, earned during the first quarter of 2007, an increase of $496,000 or 9 percent. Return on average equity was 10.72 percent and return on average assets was 0.77 percent for the first quarter of 2008, compared to 11.18 percent and 0.76 percent, respectively, for the same quarter in 2007.
Lynn B. Fuller, Heartland’s chairman, president and chief executive officer stated, “We are very satisfied with Heartland’s first quarter performance given the current operating environment. Net income, earnings per share and assets are all up over last year, with net interest margin maintained at the same level as the second half of 2007. Having said that, there is substantial room for improvement in the level of our nonperforming loans.”
Income from continuing operations was $6.3 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, during the first quarter of 2008 compared to $5.6 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, during the first quarter of 2007. The sale of Rocky Mountain Bank’s branch banking office in Broadus, Montana, was completed on June 22, 2007. Included in the sale were $20.9 million of loans and $30.2 million of deposits. The results of operations of the branch are reflected on the income statement as discontinued operations for the prior periods reported.
Net Interest Margin Sustained; Net Interest Income Grows
Net interest margin, expressed as a percentage of average earning assets, was 3.88 percent during the first quarter of 2008 compared to 4.04 percent for the first quarter of 2007 and 3.87 percent for the fourth quarter of 2007. Affecting the net interest margin throughout the second half of 2007 and first three months of 2008 was the impact of foregone interest on Heartland’s nonperforming loans, which had balances of $39.1 million at March 31, 2008, compared to $31.8 million at year-end 2007. Additionally, early in the third quarter of 2007, a $20.5 million investment was made in bank owned life insurance upon which interest expense associated with the funding of this investment is reflected in net interest margin while the corresponding earnings on this investment is recorded as noninterest income.
Fuller said, “Net interest margin held steady at 3.88%, constrained primarily by the company’s nonperforming loans. We continue to exercise pricing discipline in our lending and funding practices as we focus on returning to levels above 4.00%.”
Net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis totaled $28.7 million during the first quarter of 2008, an increase of $861,000 or 3 percent from the $27.8 million recorded during the first quarter of 2007. Contributing to this increase was the $184.1 million or 7 percent growth in average earning assets during the comparable quarterly periods.
On a tax-equivalent basis, interest income in the first quarter of 2008 totaled $52.2 million compared to $53.2 million in the first quarter of 2007, a decrease of $1.0 million or 2 percent. Nearly half of the loans in Heartland’s commercial and agricultural loan portfolios are floating rate loans that reprice immediately upon a change in the national prime interest rate, thus changes in the national prime rate impact interest income more quickly than if there were more fixed rate loans. The national prime interest rate was 8.25% for the first three months of 2007. During the first three months of 2008, the national prime interest rate decreased from 7.25% on January 1, 2008, to 5.25% at March 31, 2008.
Interest expense for the first quarter of 2008 was $23.5 million compared to $25.4 million in the first quarter of 2007, a decrease of $1.9 million or 7 percent. Approximately 77 percent of Heartland’s certificate of deposit accounts will mature within the next twelve months at a weighted average rate of 4.30 percent.
Fuller commented, “Our certificate of deposit funding cost is an area where we are seeing substantial improvement in this interest rate environment. Current maturities are rolling over at rates that are approximately 75 to 100 basis points lower.”
Noninterest Income Rises; Noninterest Expense Moderates
Noninterest income increased by $863,000 or 11 percent during the first quarter of 2008 compared to the same quarter in 2007. The categories experiencing the largest increases for the comparative quarters were loan servicing income, brokerage and insurance commissions and other noninterest income. Loan servicing income increased $301,000 or 30 percent due to an increase in residential real estate loans that Heartland services, which was $604.3 million at March 31, 2007, compared to $658.1 million at March 31, 2008. Brokerage and insurance commissions increased $399,000 or 81 percent for the quarters under comparison, primarily as a result of the March 2007 acquisition of brokerage personnel and a book of business by Summit Bank & Trust and the receipt by Dubuque Bank and Trust Company’s insurance agency of its annual insurance contingency that exceeded the prior year’s payment. The initial public offering of Visa Inc. completed on March 18, 2008, provided Heartland with a $246,000 pre-tax gain, which was recorded as other noninterest income during the first quarter of 2008.
Fuller stated, “Noninterest income is the subject of ongoing emphasis for Heartland. To supplement the continued revenue growth from our Wealth Management Group and Investment Services unit, we are carefully evaluating the pricing of every service line to assure a fair return to the banks that is in line with our costs and competitive forces.”
For the first quarter of 2008, noninterest expense increased $1.4 million or 6 percent from the same period in 2007. The largest component of noninterest expense, salaries and employee benefits, increased $624,000 or 4 percent during the first quarter of 2008 compared to the first quarter of 2007, primarily due to the expansion of Summit Bank & Trust, the formation of Minnesota Bank & Trust and additional staffing at Heartland’s operations center to provide support services to the growing number of bank subsidiaries. Total full-time equivalent employees increased to 995 at March 31, 2008, from 982 at March 31, 2007. Occupancy expenses increased $417,000 or 22 percent for the first quarter of 2008 compared to the same quarter in 2007, primarily as a result of branch expansions completed throughout 2007. The other noninterest expense category to experience a significant increase during the quarters under comparison was outside services, which increased $241,000 or 11 percent. Nearly all this increase was attributable to additional FDIC assessments as a majority of the FDIC credits at Heartland’s bank subsidiaries were utilized during 2007.
Commenting on Heartland’s expansion efforts, Fuller said, “In addition to the opening of Minnesota Bank & Trust, our plan for 2008 anticipates a slower pace, with the addition of only two or three new locations. Currently, 25 percent of our banking locations have been open less than three years. We recognize that bringing these offices up to speed offers a significant opportunity for earnings growth.”
Referring to the de novo bank now open in Minnesota, Fuller added, “Minnesota Bank & Trust, the tenth independent charter in the Heartland network, is now open for business in Edina, Minnesota. The new bank specializes in services for business and affluent individuals in the market. We believe now is an excellent time to open a new bank in the Twin Cities and are looking forward to the bank’s grand opening in May.”
Heartland’s effective tax rate was 27.86 percent for the first quarter of 2008 compared to 30.95 percent for the first quarter of 2007. The decrease in Heartland’s effective tax rate during the first quarter of 2008 resulted primarily from $170,000 in federal rehabilitation tax credits associated with Dubuque Bank and Trust Company’s ownership interest in a limited liability company that owns a certified historic structure and also from $163,000 of additional non-taxable income associated with the increase in the cash surrender value on life insurance policies. Heartland’s effective tax rate is also affected by the level of tax-exempt interest income which, as a percentage of pre-tax income, was 20.17 percent during the first quarter of 2008 compared to 21.09 percent during the same quarter of 2007. The tax-equivalent adjustment for this tax-exempt interest income was $943,000 during the first quarter of 2008 compared to $929,000 during the same quarter in 2007.
Loan Growth Slows; Solid Growth in Deposits
At March 31, 2008, total assets had increased $36.4 million or 4 percent annualized since year-end 2007. Total loans and leases were $2.27 billion at March 31, 2008, compared to $2.28 billion at year-end 2007, a decrease of $8.5 million or 1 percent annualized. Aside from the payoff of one commercial real estate loan totaling $24.3 million, growth in loans totaled $15.8 million or 3 percent annualized since year-end 2007. A majority of this increase was in agricultural and agricultural real estate loans, which totaled $238.2 million at March 31, 2008, an increase of $12.5 million or 22 percent annualized since year-end 2007. Nearly all this growth occurred at Dubuque Bank and Trust Company.
Total deposits grew to $2.42 billion at March 31, 2008, an increase of $44.6 million or 8 percent annualized since year-end 2007. Growth in deposits was weighted more heavily in Heartland’s Western markets. Demand deposits experienced a decrease of $3.8 million or 4 percent annualized since year-end 2007. Savings deposit balances experienced an increase of $8.0 million or 4 percent annualized since year-end 2007 and time deposits, exclusive of brokered deposits, experienced an increase of $19.9 million or 7 percent annualized since year-end 2007. At March 31, 2008, brokered time deposits totaled $89.4 million or 4 percent of total deposits compared to $69.0 million or 3 percent of total deposits at year-end 2007.
Increase in Nonperforming Loans
The allowance for loan and lease losses at March 31, 2008, was 1.48 percent of loans and 86 percent of nonperforming loans, compared to 1.45 percent of loans and 104 percent of nonperforming loans at December 31, 2007. Additions to the allowance for loan and lease losses were primarily driven by the continued softening of the economy and reduced real estate values, particularly in the Phoenix market. Nonperforming loans were $39.1 million or 1.72 percent of total loans and leases at March 31, 2008, compared to $31.8 million or 1.40 percent of total loans and leases at December 31, 2007. The majority of the $7.3 million increase in nonperforming loans from December 31, 2007, resulted from one large credit originated by Arizona Bank & Trust. Slightly over 61 percent, or $23.7 million, of Heartland’s nonperforming loans are to 6 borrowers, with $8.9 million originated by Wisconsin Community Bank and $13.4 million originated by Arizona Bank & Trust. Net charge-offs during the first quarter of 2008 were $1.1 million compared to $362,000 during the first quarter of 2007. Management monitors the loan portfolio of each bank subsidiary and, at this point, does not believe that the increase in nonperforming loans is any indication of a systemic problem but is more likely a result of the continuing shift in the economy in some of Heartland’s markets.
With all of the recent attention given to subprime lending, Heartland believes it is important to note that its bank subsidiaries have not been active in the origination of subprime loans. Consistent with Heartland’s community banking model, which includes meeting the legitimate credit needs within the communities served, the bank subsidiaries may make loans to borrowers possessing subprime characteristics if there are mitigating factors present that will reduce the potential default risk of the loan. Loans past due more than thirty days in Heartland’s residential real estate loan portfolio, including serviced loans, were 1.05 percent of the total loan balances at March 31, 2008, and loans in foreclosure on residential real estate loans, including those sold, totaled 22 at March 31, 2008.
Fuller concluded, “Like most banks of all sizes, we are disappointed in the growth we have seen in our nonperforming loans. Nevertheless, our nonperformers continue to be comprised of a relatively few larger credits in two of our subsidiary banks. We are focusing a great deal of time and talent on collecting nonperforming loans to unlock the earnings potential as those dollars are converted back into earning assets.”
