AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 (UNAUDITED) The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes and with the statistical information and financial data appearing in this report as well as the Company's 1995 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Results of operations for the nine month period ended September 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of results to be attained for any other period. SUMMARY The Company's consolidated net income for the first nine months of 1996 totaled $87.1 million; a $7.7 million or 9.7% increase over the same period in 1995. Earnings per share increased 13.3% to $2.38 in the first nine months of 1996 compared to $2.10 in the first nine months of 1995. Net interest income increased $6.3 million and non-interest income increased $19.2 million, partially offset by increases of $10.5 million in other expense and $8.4 million in the provision for loan losses. When the effects of the four banks acquired in March through May of 1995 are excluded, non-interest income increased by 18.3%, while other expense, excluding intangible amortization and F.D.I.C. insurance reductions, increased only 4.6%. Return on average assets for the first nine months of 1996 was 1.24% compared to 1.21% in the first nine months of 1995. Return on average stockholders' equity for the first nine months of 1996 was 13.09% compared to 12.78% for the first nine months of 1995. The Company's efficiency ratio (other expense/net interest income plus non-interest income excluding net gains on securities transactions) was 61.75% for the first nine months of 1996 compared to 62.99% for the first nine months of 1995. Consolidated net income increased $3.2 million over the third quarter of 1995 mainly due to a $6.3 million increase in non-interest income partially offset by a $3.1 million increase in other expense and a $2.2 million increase in the provision for loan losses. Net income increased $1.9 million over the second quarter of 1996 mainly due to increases of $1.6 million in net interest income and $1.8 million in non-interest income, partially offset by an increase of $1.1 million in other expense. Earnings per share was $.85 in the third quarter of 1996, an 18.1% increase over the third quarter of 1995 and a 7.6% increase over the second quarter of 1996. In the second quarter of 1996, ten affiliate banks in Missouri, Kansas and Illinois were merged to form two banks. The effects of these mergers will enable the Company to reduce overhead costs while expanding services to customers. Additionally, customers will gain access to additional banking facilities in portions of Missouri, Kansas and Illinois. The Company sold an Illinois branch in March 1996 and a Missouri branch in August 1996. These sales did not have a material effect on the financial statements of the Company. INTEREST INCOME AND EARNING ASSETS Total interest income increased $16.6 million, or 3.6%, compared to the first nine months of 1995 mainly due to an increase of $477.5 million in average earning asset balances, (which caused an increase of $29.0 million in tax equivalent interest income), partly offset by a decrease of 19 basis points in average tax equivalent rates earned. Excluding banks acquired in 1995, total interest income increased .4% in the first nine months of 1996 over the same period in 1995. The average tax equivalent yield was 7.75% for the first nine months of 1996 and 7.94% for the first nine months of 1995. 9 Loans were 63% of average earning assets and yielded an average tax equivalent rate of 8.71% for the first nine months of 1996. Loan interest income increased $6.8 million, or 2.0%, over the first nine months of 1995. This increase was mainly due to an increase of $97.2 million in average credit card loan balances, partially offset by a decline of 46 basis points in average tax equivalent rates earned on business loans. Interest income on investment securities decreased $2.7 million from the first nine months of 1995 mainly due to a decrease of $84.7 million in average balances invested in CMO's and asset- backed securities. Interest income on federal funds sold and securities purchased under agreements to resell increased $12.5 million over the first nine months of 1995 mainly due to an increase of $321.1 million in average balances invested. The average tax equivalent yield was 7.73% in the third quarter of 1996 compared to 7.96% in the third quarter of 1995 and 7.72% in the second quarter of 1996. Total interest income decreased $2.9 million from the third quarter of 1995 mainly due to both lower average tax equivalent yields earned and lower average balances invested in loans. Total interest income increased $1.4 million over the second quarter of 1996 due to higher average tax equivalent rates earned, mainly in loans, partially offset by lower average balances invested, mainly in federal funds sold and resell agreements. Summaries of average earning assets and liabilities and the corresponding average rates earned/paid appear on pages 14 through 17. INTEREST EXPENSE AND RELATED LIABILITIES Total interest expense (net of capitalized interest) increased $10.3 million, or 5.1%, compared to the first nine months of 1995 due mainly to higher average interest-bearing liabilities. The average cost of funds was 4.13% for the first nine months of 1996 and 4.19% for the first nine months of 1995. Excluding banks acquired in 1995, total interest expense increased 1.2% in the first nine months of 1996 compared to the first nine months of 1995. Average core deposits (deposits excluding short-term certificates of deposit over $100,000) for the first nine months of 1996 were $7.85 billion, an increase of 6.8% over the same period last year. Core deposits supported 94% of average earning assets in 1996. Interest on deposits increased $12.6 million over the first nine months of 1995. Interest expense on the Company's Premium Money Market deposits and long-term C.D.'s of less than $100,000 increased $13.1 million and $6.9 million, respectively, due mainly to higher average balances. Interest expense on federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase decreased $2.1 million from the first nine months of 1995 due to a decrease in average rates paid. Total interest expense in the third quarter of 1996 was $4.0 million lower than the third quarter of 1995, as rate decreases were partially offset by increases in average deposits. Interest expense was $173 thousand lower than the second quarter of 1996 due to lower average deposits and borrowings and lower average rates paid on deposits. The average cost of funds was 4.09% for the second and third quarters of 1996 compared to 4.34% for the third quarter of 1995. RISK ELEMENTS OF LOAN PORTFOLIO Non-performing assets include impaired loans (non-accrual loans and loans 90 days delinquent and still accruing interest) and foreclosed real estate. Loans are placed on non-accrual status when management does not expect to collect payments consistent with acceptable and agreed upon terms of repayment (generally, loans that are 90 days past due as to principal and/or interest payments). These loans were made primarily to borrowers in Missouri, Kansas and Illinois. The following table presents non-performing assets for the periods indicated. 10 SEPTEMBER 30, DECEMBER 31, 1996 1995 ------------- ------------ (IN THOUSANDS) Non-accrual loans.............................. $11,829 $16,234 Past due 90 days and still accruing interest... 24,593 15,690 ------- ------- Total impaired loans........................... 36,422 31,924 Foreclosed real estate......................... 985 1,955 ------- ------- Total non-performing assets.................. $37,407 $33,879 ======= ======= Non-performing assets to total loans........... .69% .64% Non-performing assets to total assets.......... .40% .35% Non-accrual loans at September 30, 1996 are comprised of both secured and unsecured loans to businesses and individuals. Loans past due 90 days but still accruing interest are comprised of $9.2 million in business loans, $792 thousand in construction and development loans, $1.4 million in business real estate loans, $2.4 million in personal real estate loans, $4.8 million in personal banking loans and $5.9 million in credit card loans. Foreclosed properties at September 30, 1996 are mainly comprised of individual family dwellings and are not considered a significant risk element to the balance sheet. The subsidiary banks issue Visa and MasterCard credit cards, and the balance of these consumer loans was $527.6 million at September 30, 1996. During 1996 the banking industry has experienced increasing credit losses on these loans primarily due to easing of bankruptcy laws and general economic conditions, and net charge-offs at major banks this year have ranged from 3.5% to over 5% of credit card loans. The Company has also experienced an increase in credit losses on credit card loans due to these same factors, however, net charge-off experience through the first nine months has averaged 2.78% of outstanding credit card loans, which is significantly lower than industry averages. Because credit card loans traditionally have a higher than average ratio of net charge-offs to loans outstanding, management requires that a specific allowance for losses on credit card loans be maintained, which was $12.3 million, or 2.3% of credit card loans at September 30, 1996. The risk presented by the above loans and foreclosed real estate is not considered by management to be materially adverse in relation to normal credit risks generally taken by lenders. ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES Management records the provision for loan losses, on an individual bank basis, in amounts that result in an allowance for loan losses sufficient to cover all potential net charge-offs and risks believed to be inherent in the loan portfolio of each bank. Management's evaluation includes such factors as past loan loss experience as related to current loan portfolio mix, evaluation of actual and potential losses in the loan portfolio, prevailing regional and national economic conditions that might have an impact on the portfolio, regular reviews and examinations of the loan portfolio conducted by internal loan reviewers supervised by Commerce Bancshares, Inc. (the Parent), reviews and examinations by bank regulatory authorities, and other factors that management believes deserve current recognition. As a result of these factors, the provision for loan losses increased $8.4 million compared to the first nine months of 1995, increased $2.2 million over the third quarter of 1995 and increased $654 thousand compared to the second quarter of 1996. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans outstanding was 1.82% at September 30, 1996, compared to 1.85% at year-end 1995 and 1.80% at September 30, 1995. Net charge-offs on loans totaled $17.2 million for the first nine months of 1996 compared to $10.5 million for the first nine months of 1995. Net charge- offs were $6.4 million for the third quarter of 1996 compared to $4.9 million for the third quarter of 1995 and $5.4 million for the second quarter of 1996. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses, which is a general reserve, is adequate to cover actual and potential losses in the loan portfolio under current conditions. Other than as previously noted, management is not aware of any significant risks in the current loan portfolio due to concentrations of loans within any particular industry, nor of any separate types of loans within a particular category of non-performing loans that are unusually significant as to possible loan losses when compared to the entire loan portfolio. 11 NON-INTEREST INCOME INCREASE (DECREASE) ------------------------------------------- QUARTER QUARTER ENDED ENDED NINE MONTHS 9/30/96 9/30/96 ENDED 9/30/96 COMPARED TO COMPARED COMPARED TO QUARTER QUARTER NINE MONTHS ENDED ENDED ENDED 9/30/95 9/30/95 6/30/96 ------------- ------------- ------------- (IN THOUSANDS) Trust income...................... $ 2,925 12.0% $ 690 8.0% $ 483 5.5% Deposit account charges and other fees............................. 7,568 22.9 2,602 22.0 609 4.4 Trading account profits and commissions...................... 626 16.3 182 16.0 (116) (8.1) Net gains on securities transactions..................... 1,334 199.1 (153) (63.0) (600) (87.0) Credit card transaction fees...... 2,368 14.8 587 10.3 33 .5 Other income...................... 4,403 23.5 2,347 35.3 1,380 18.1 ------- ------ ------ Total non-interest income......... $19,224 19.9% $6,255 18.3% $1,789 4.6% ======= ====== ====== The increase in deposit account charges and other fees in the first nine months of 1996 compared with 1995 was partially due to fee restructuring and added cash management fees. Income on trust fees was reflective of increased new business coupled with improvement in market value on assets upon which some fees are based. Credit card fees are reflective of increased merchant and cardholder sales upon which transaction fee income is based. Included in the other income category was an increase in gains on sales of branches and fixed assets of $2.6 million. The quarterly comparisons to the third quarter of 1995 and the second quarter of 1996 also include increases in gains on sales of branches and fixed assets of $1.6 million and $1.7 million, respectively. Excluding banks acquired in 1995, total non-interest income (excluding securities gains) increased $15.4 million, or 17.0%, in the first nine months of 1996 compared to the first nine months of 1995. OTHER EXPENSE Other expense increased $10.5 million in the first nine months of 1996 compared to the first nine months of 1995. Salaries and benefits increased $5.3 million in this comparison partly as a result of staff at banks acquired in 1995. Excluding employees at banks acquired in 1995, full-time equivalent employees decreased 1.9% in the first nine months of 1996 compared to the first nine months of 1995. In addition, marketing expense increased $1.4 million, occupancy expense on bank premises increased $1.0 million, and expense on foreclosed real estate increased $2.2 million. These effects were partially offset by a $5.8 million decrease in F.D.I.C. insurance expense due to a decrease in the assessment rate. In the third quarter of 1996, the Company accrued $1.3 million for a one time charge in connection with the recapitalization of the SAIF fund. Excluding the expenses of banks acquired in 1995, total other expense increased only $565 thousand in the first nine months of 1996 compared to the same period in 1995. Other expense increased $3.1 million compared to the third quarter of 1995 mainly due to increases of $1.8 million in foreclosed real estate expense and $2.0 million in F.D.I.C. insurance expense. Compared to the second quarter of 1996, other expense increased $1.1 million partly due to increases of $1.4 million in F.D.I.C. insurance expense and $957 thousand in marketing expense. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The liquid assets of the Parent consist primarily of short-term investments and equity securities, most of which are readily marketable. The fair value of these investments was $84.4 million at September 30, 1996 compared to $90.1 million at December 31, 1995. Included in the fair values were unrealized net gains of $13.4 million at September 30, 1996 and $11.0 million at December 31, 1995. The Parent's liabilities totaled $63.3 million at September 30, 1996, compared to $44.3 million at December 31, 1995. The 1995 liabilities included a $31.0 million liability recorded at year end 1995 for a significant treasury stock purchase settling in 1996. The 1996 liabilities included $51.1 million advanced mainly from subsidiary bank holding companies in order to 12 combine resources for short-term investment in liquid assets. The Parent had no short-term borrowings from affiliate banks or long-term debt during 1996. The Parent's commercial paper, which management believes is readily marketable, has a P1 rating from Moody's and an A1 rating from Standard & Poor's. The Company is also rated A by Thomson BankWatch with a corresponding short-term rating of TBW-1. This credit availability should provide adequate funds to meet any outstanding or future commitments of the Parent. The liquid assets held by bank subsidiaries include federal funds sold and securities purchased under agreements to resell and available for sale securities, which consist mainly of U.S. government and federal agency securities and CMO's and asset-backed securities. These liquid assets had a fair value of $2.87 billion at September 30, 1996 and $3.03 billion at December 31, 1995. The available for sale bank portfolio included an unrealized net loss in fair value of $16.9 million at September 30, 1996 compared to an unrealized net gain of $30.1 million at December 31, 1995. In February 1996, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to purchase up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock in either the open market or privately negotiated transactions, to be used for employee benefit programs and stock dividends. At September 30, 1996, the Company had acquired 1,099,063 shares under this authorization. The Company (on a consolidated basis) had an equity to asset ratio of 9.49% based on 1996 average balances. As shown in the following table, the Company's capital exceeded the minimum risk-based capital and leverage requirements of the regulatory agencies. SEPTEMBER 30, DECEMBER 31, 1996 1995 ------------- ------------ (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) Risk-Adjusted Assets........................... $5,976,262 $6,045,112 Tier I Capital................................. 798,846 756,452 Total Capital.................................. 867,729 829,784 Tier I Capital Ratio........................... 13.37% 12.51% Total Capital Ratio............................ 14.52% 13.73% Leverage Ratio................................. 8.69% 8.27% The Company's cash and cash equivalents (defined as "Cash and due from banks") were $700.6 million at September 30, 1996, a decrease of $74.2 million from December 31, 1995. Contributing to the net cash outflow were a net decrease of $102.1 million in deposits, $70.3 million in purchases of treasury stock and $99.8 million in additional loans made, net of repayments. In addition, purchases of investment securities were $964.7 million, partially offset by $839.2 million in proceeds realized from sales and maturities. Partially offsetting these net outflows were a $180.2 million net decrease in short-term investments in federal funds sold and resell agreements and $160.8 million generated from operating activities. Total assets and core deposits decreased slightly, $159.8 million and $150.6 million, respectively, compared to December 31, 1995 balances. The Company has various commitments and contingent liabilities which are properly not reflected on the balance sheet. Loan commitments (excluding lines of credit related to credit card loan agreements) totaled approximately $2.12 billion, standby letters of credit totaled $135.1 million, and commercial letters of credit totaled $25.4 million at September 30, 1996. The Company has little risk exposure in off-balance-sheet derivative contracts. The notional value of these contracts (interest rate and foreign exchange rate contracts) was $132.8 million at September 30, 1996. The current credit exposure (or replacement cost) across all off-balance-sheet derivative contracts covered by the risk-based capital standards was $4.4 million at September 30, 1996. Management does not anticipate any material losses to arise from these contingent items and believes there are no material commitments to extend credit that represent risks of an unusual nature. 13 AVERAGE BALANCE SHEETS--AVERAGE RATES AND YIELDS NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 AND 1995 NINE MONTHS 1996 NINE MONTHS 1995 ------------------------------- ------------------------------- INTEREST AVG.
