Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Overview Community Trust Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") is a multi-bank holding company headquartered in Pikeville, Kentucky. At June 30, 1997 the Company owned two commercial banks (see Commercial Bank, West Liberty below), one savings bank and one trust company. Through its affiliates, the Company has over sixty banking locations serving 85,000 households in various Eastern and Central Kentucky counties. The Company had total assets of $1.84 billion and total shareholders' equity of $154 million as of June 30, 1997. The Company's common stock is listed on NASDAQ under the symbol CTBI. Market makers are Herzog, Heine, Geduld, Inc., New York, New York; J.J.B. Hilliard, W.L. Lyons, Inc., Louisville, Kentucky; Morgan, Keegan and Company, Inc., Memphis, Tennessee; J.C. Bradford & Co., Louisville, Kentucky; Bear, Stearns & Co., Inc., New York, New York; Robinson Humphrey Co., Inc., Atlanta, Georgia and Stifel Nicolaus & Co., Incorporated, St. Louis, Missouri. Effective January 1, 1997, the Company changed its name from Pikeville National Corporation to Community Trust Bancorp, Inc., changed the name of its lead bank from Pikeville National Bank and Trust Company to Community Trust Bank, National Association (the "Bank") and merged seven of its other commercial bank subsidiaries into the Bank. As a result of these transactions, the Bank has $1.6 billion in assets and numerous locations throughout eastern and central Kentucky. The Company's thrift and trust subsidiaries, Community Trust Bank, FSB and Trust Company of Kentucky, N.A., remain wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company and will continue to operate as independent entities. Commercial Bank, West Liberty The Company excluded its subsidiary Commercial Bank, West Liberty, Kentucky ("West Liberty") from the merger of its commercial bank subsidiaries into the Bank, in anticipation of selling West Liberty, as first publicly announced in November 1996. The Company had entered into a definitive agreement to sell West Liberty to Commercial Bancshares, Inc., of West Liberty, Kentucky for cash of approximately $10.2 million. This sale was completed in early July 1997, resulting in an after-tax gain of approximately $2.2 million. West Liberty had $79 million in assets, constituting 4% of the Company's total consolidated assets. Consistent with the Company's strategic plan, the funds generated by the sale of West Liberty will provide the Company with the opportunity to expand existing or enter into new markets through either internal expansion or acquisitions. Stock Dividend On February 18, 1997, the Company's Board of Directors declared a 10% stock dividend. This stock dividend, paid on April 15, 1997 to shareholders of record on March 15, 1997, was in addition to the regular quarterly cash dividends paid on (1) April 1, 1997 of 18 cents per share for shareholders of record on March 15, 1997, and (2) July 1, 1997 of 18 cents per share for shareholders of record on June 15, 1997. All per share data has been restated to reflect this stock dividend. Trust Preferred Offering On April 16, 1997 the Company issued $34,500,000 of 9% Cumulative Trust Preferred Securities. Proceeds from the offering were applied to the Company's general funds to be used for expansion through new branches and acquisitions, to fund growth in the Company's indirect consumer loan portfolio and for general Company purposes. The Trust Preferred Securities were issued by CTBI Preferred Capital Trust, a newly formed Delaware business trust wholly owned by the Company. The Trust Preferred Securities were issued at $25 per share and are quoted on The Nasdaq Stock Market's National Market under the symbol "CTBIP". Morgan Keegan & Company and J.J.B. Hilliard, W.L. Lyons, Inc. were the underwriters for the offering. Loan Securitization On June 5, 1997 the Bank securitized approximately $81 million of indirect retail installment loans as part of its overall strategy to originate, sell and service indirect loans. This loan portfolio was sold to Community Trust Funding Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, which subsequently sold the loan portfolio to CTB Auto Grantor Trust 1997-A and issued trust certificates to institutional investors. The Bank remains the servicer of the loan portfolio and will use the proceeds from the transaction to originate additional indirect retail installment sales contracts, to fund expansion and for other general Company purposes. Income Statement Review The Company's net income before extraordinary items for the three months ended June 30, 1997 was $4.6 million or $0.45 per share as compared to $4.7 million or $0.47 per share for the three months ended June 30, 1996. Total earnings for the six months ended June 30, 1997 were $12.1 million or $1.20 per share, including a first quarter extraordinary item of $3.0 million or $0.30 per share received in a settlement with a former vendor. The following table sets forth on an annualized basis the return on average assets and return on average shareholders' equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996: Three months ended Six months ended June 30 June 30 1997 1996 1997 1996 Return on average shareholders' equity before extraordinary item 11.98% 13.98% 12.05% 13.24% after extraordinary item 11.98% 13.98% 16.17% 13.24% Return on average assets before extraordinary item 0.99% 1.09% 0.99% 1.04% after extraordinary item 0.99% 1.09% 1.33% 1.04% The Company's net income for the second quarter of 1997 decreased $181 thousand or 4% as compared to the same period in 1996. Earnings per share decreased $0.02 per share or 4% for the three months ended June 30, 1997, as compared to the second quarter of 1996. The decrease in net income was the result of increases in noninterest expense, including personnel, training, and advertising, which were to a large extent offset by increases in net interest income and higher noninterest income. Training and personnel expenses were the result of planning and implementation of the consolidation of the merged affiliates which occurred on January 1, 1997. Advertising increases occurred so that the Company's name change would be well recognized in our market areas. Noninterest income increased $79 thousand for the quarter as compared to the second quarter of 1996. Noninterest expense for the quarter increased by $1.1 million as compared to the same period in 1996. Provision for loan losses for the three months ended June 30, 1997 was $1.7 million, nearly unchanged when compared to $1.5 million for the same period in 1996. For the six months ended June 30, 1997 the provision was $3.4 million, a 9% increase over the same period in 1996 resulting primarily from a 9% growth in the Company's loan portfolio over the same period. Net Interest Income Net interest income increased $0.9 million or 5% from $18.5 million for the second quarter of 1996 to $19.4 million for the second quarter of 1997. Interest income and interest expense both increased for the quarter ending June 30, 1997 as compared to the same period in 1996, with interest income increasing $2.7 million and interest expense increasing $1.8 million. The increase in net interest income for the three month period was primarily due to increases in average earning assets due to loan growth. The loan-to-deposit ratio at the end of June 1997 was 91.90% as compared to 81.39% for the end of June 1996, after accounting for the securitization of approximately $81 million in retail installment contracts (see Loan Securitization). The yield on interest earning assets increased 8 basis points for the second quarter of 1997 as compared to the same period in 1996. The cost of interest bearing funds increased 23 basis points for the second quarter of 1997 as compared to the same period in 1996. As a result the net interest margin decreased from 4.78% for the second quarter of 1996 to 4.68% for the current quarter. For the six months ended June 30, 1997 the yield on interest earning assets increased 10 basis points from 8.97% in 1996 to 9.07% in 1997. The cost of interest bearing funds increased 9 basis point from 4.88% in 1996 to 4.98% in 1997. As a result, the net interest margin for the six months ended June 30, 1997 increased 6 basis points to 4.76% over the same period in 1996. The increases in yield and interest margin are due in large part from growth in the Company's loan portfolio, the highest yielding asset. Loan portfolio growth was caused by internally generated growth. The Company's average loans increased 3.5% from $1.16 billion for the second quarter of 1996 to $1.34 billion for the second quarter of 1997. Loans accounted for 85% of total interest income for the second quarter of 1997 compared to 80% for the second quarter of 1996. The following table summarizes the annualized net interest spread and net interest margin for the three months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996. Three Months Ended Six months ended June 30 June 30 1997 1996 1997 1996 Yield on interest earning assets 9.05% 8.99% 9.07% 8.97% Cost of interest bearing funds 5.05% 4.82% 4.98% 4.88% Net interest spread 4.00% 4.17% 4.09% 4.09% Net interest margin 4.68% 4.78% 4.76% 4.70% Provision for Loan Losses The analysis of the changes in the allowance for loan losses and selected ratios is set forth below. Six Months Ended June 30 (in thousands) 1997 1996 Allowance balance January 1 $18,825 $16,082 Additions to allowance charged against operations 3,449 3,174 Recoveries credited to allowance 1,844 1,218 Losses charged against allowance (4,955) (2,775) Allowance balance at June 30 $19,163 $17,699 Allowance for loan losses to period-end loans 1.45% 1.46% Average loans, net of unearned income $1,338,485 $1,159,339 Provision for loan losses to average loans, annualized .52% .55% Loan charge-offs, net of recoveries to average loans, annualized .46% .27% The Company increased its provision for loan losses as a result of the growth in its loan portfolio, and to a lesser degree, due to its increase in net charge-offs, measured in raw dollars. Net charge- offs represent the amount of loans charged off less amounts recovered on loans previously charged off. Net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans outstanding increased 19 basis points to 0.46% for the six months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to the same period in 1996. The Company's non-performing loans (90 days past due and non-accrual) were 1.21% and 1.47% of outstanding loans at December 31, 1996 and June 30, 1997, respectively. Any loans classified as loss, doubtful, substandard or special mention that are not included in non-performing loans do not (1) represent or result from trends or uncertainties which management reasonably expects will materially impact future operating results, liquidity or capital resources or (2) represent material credits about which management has knowledge of any information which would cause management to have serious doubts as to the ability of the borrowers to comply with the loan repayment terms. The Company does not believe there are currently any trends, events or uncertainties that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on the volume of its non- performing loans. Noninterest Income The Company's noninterest income increased 2% from $3.66 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996 to $3.74 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997. Deposit-related fees represent the largest category of increase, while gains on the sale of loans declined from the same period in 1996. Noninterest Expense The Company's noninterest expense increased by 8% from $13.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996 to $14.7 million for the same period in 1997. Most major categories of noninterest expense experienced increases for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 compared to the same quarter in 1996. The categories showing larger increases were salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment, and data processing. The increases are attributed to the cost of expansion as the Company prepares to open additional branches over the next several months and the temporary costs associated with consolidating the processing functions of the seven commercial banks that merged into the Bank on January 1, 1997. Balance Sheet Review Total assets increased from $1.82 billion at December 31, 1996 to $1.84 billion at June 30, 1997, or an annualized rate of 5%. During this time, loans increased from $1.29 billion to $1.31 billion, after the securitization in June 1997 of approximately $81 million of the Bank's retail installment contracts. The asset category which declined most was securities available-for-sale; as these securities mature, the liquidity is being used to fund the Company's loan portfolio growth. The Company's largest liability, deposits, declined from $1.48 billion as of December 31, 1996 to $1.46 billion as of June 30, 1997. The decline in deposits was marginal in both interest bearing and noninterest bearing as noninterest bearing deposits declined from $200.2 million at December 31, 1996 to $190.5 million at June 30, 1997. The Company increased its long-term debt during the period from $19.1 million as of December 31, 1996 to $53.5 million as of June 30, 1997, due to the issuance of $34.5 million in Trust Preferred Securities in April 1997 (see Trust Preferred Offering). The Company's advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank increased from $110.9 million at December 31, 1996 to $124.6 million at June 30, 1997 as the Company used this liquidity as a source of funding for loan growth. Loans Loans decreased from $1.35 billion as of March 31, 1997 to $1.32 billion as of June 30, 1997, primarily due to the securitization of indirect retail installment contracts discussed earlier (see Loan Securitization). The "Commercial- Other" loan category increased from $250.0 million as of March 31, 1997 to $264.8 million as of June 30, 1997. Non-accrual and 90 days past due loans amounted to 1.21% of total loans outstanding as of December 31, 1996 and 1.47% of total loans outstanding as of June 30, 1997. Non-accrual loans as a percentage of total loans outstanding were 0.75% as of December 31, 1996 and at 0.98% at June 30, 1997. During the same period, loans 90 days or more past due increased 5 basis points from 0.44% of total loans outstanding to 0.49%. The allowance for loan losses increased from 1.44% of total loans outstanding as of December 31, 1996 to 1.45% as of June 30, 1997. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of non-accrual loans and loans past due 90 days or more was 118% at December 31, 1996 and 98% at June 30, 1997. The following table summarizes the Company's loans that are non- accrual or past due 90 days or more as of June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996. As a % of Accruing loans As a % of Non-accrual loan balances past due 90 loan balances loans by category days or more by category (in thousands) June 30, 1997 Commercial loans, secured by real estate $ 4,962 1.83% $1,478 0.54% Commercial loans, other 5,867 2.19 1,109 0.41 Consumer loans, secured by real estate 1,783 0.36 2,667 0.54 Consumer loans, other 363 0.13 1,256 0.43 Total $12,975 0.98% $6,510 0.49% December 31, 1996 Commercial loans, secured by real estate $ 4,802 1.78% $1,075 0.40% Commercial loans, other 3,217 1.27 1,424 0.60 Consumer loans, secured by real estate 1,705 0.35 2,416 0.49 Consumer loans, other 432 0.14 885 0.28 Total $10,156 0.75% $5,800 0.44% Allowance for loan losses Management analyzes the adequacy of its allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis. The loan portfolio of each market region is analyzed by each major loan category, with a review of the following areas: (i) specific allocations based upon a review of selected loans for loss potential; (ii) an allocation which estimates reserves based upon the remaining pool of loans in each category derived from historical net charge-off data, delinquency trends and other relevant factors and (iii) an unallocated portion of the allowance which provides for a margin of error in estimating the allocations described above and provides for risks inherent in the portfolio which may not be specifically addressed elsewhere. Off-balance sheet risk is addressed by including letters of credit in the Company's allowance adequacy analysis and through a monthly review of all letters of credit outstanding. The Company's loan review and problem loan analysis includes evaluation of deteriorating letters of credit. Volume and trends in delinquencies are monitored monthly by management, regional advisory boards and the boards of directors of the respective banks. Securities The Company uses its securities held-to-maturity for production of income and to manage cash flow needs through expected maturities. The Company uses its securities available-for-sale for income and balance sheet liquidity management. The book value of securities available-for-sale decreased from $230.0 million as of December 31, 1996 to $188.0 million as of June 30, 1997. Securities held-to- maturity declined from $137.7 million to $133.9 million during the same period. Total securities as a percentage of total assets were 20.3% as of December 31, 1996 and 17.5% as of June 30, 1997. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company's liquidity objectives are to ensure that funds are available for the affiliate banks to meet deposit withdrawals and credit demands without unduly penalizing profitability, and to ensure that funding is available for the Company to meet ongoing cash needs while maximizing profitability. The Company continues to identify ways to provide for liquidity on both a current and long-term basis. The subsidiary banks rely mainly on core deposits, certificates of $100,000 or more, repayment of principal and interest on loans and securities and federal funds sold and purchased to create long-term liquidity. The subsidiary banks also rely on the sale of securities under repurchase agreements, securities available-for-sale and Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings. Deposits decreased from $1.48 billion to $1.46 billion from December 31, 1996 to June 30, 1997. Noninterest bearing deposits decreased by $9.8 million while interest bearing deposits decreased by $10.4 million. Due to the nature of the markets served by the subsidiary banks, management believes that the majority of its certificates of deposits of $100,000 or more are no more volatile than its core deposits. During the periods of low interest rates, these deposit balances remained stable as a percentage of total deposits. In addition, arrangements have been made with correspondent banks for the purchase of federal funds on an unsecured basis, up to an aggregate of nearly $100 million, if necessary, to meet the Company's liquidity needs. The Company owns $187.9 million of securities valued at market price that are designated as available-for-sale and available to meet liquidity needs on a continuing basis. The Company also relies on Federal Home Loan Bank advances for both liquidity and management of its asset/liability position. These advances have sometimes been matched against pools of residential mortgage loans which are not sold in the secondary market, some of which have original maturities of ten to fifteen years. Federal Home Loan Bank advances increased from $111.0 million as of December 31, 1996 to $124.5 million as of June 30, 1997. The Company generally relies upon net inflows of cash from financing activities, supplemented by net inflows of cash from operating activities, to provide cash for its investing activities. As is typical of many financial institutions, significant financing activities include deposit gathering, use of short-term borrowing facilities such as federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements, and issuance of long-term debt. The Company currently has a $17.5 million revolving line of credit available to meet any future cash needs. (See long-term debt footnote to the consolidated financial statements.) The Company's primary investing activities include purchases of securities and loan originations. In conjunction with maintaining a satisfactory level of liquidity, management monitors the degree of interest rate risk assumed on the balance sheet. The Company monitors its interest rate risk by use of the static and dynamic gap models at the one year interval. The static gap model monitors the difference in interest rate sensitive assets and interest rate sensitive liabilities as a percentage of total assets that mature within the specified time frame. The dynamic gap model goes further in that it assumes that interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities will be reinvested. The Company uses the Sendero system to monitor its interest rate risk. The Company desires an interest sensitivity gap of not more than fifteen percent of total assets at the one year interval. On a limited basis, the Company now uses interest rate swaps and sales of options on securities as additional tools in managing interest rate risk. Interest rate swaps involve an exchange of cash flows based on the notional principal amount and agreed upon fixed and variable interest rates. In this transaction, the Company has agreed to pay a floating interest rate based on London Inter-Bank Offering Rate (LIBOR) and receive a fixed interest rate in return. On options, the Company has sold the right to a third party to purchase securities the Company currently owns at a fixed price on a future date. The Company had no options outstanding at June 30, 1997. The impact on operations of interest rate swaps and options was not material during the first six months of 1996 or 1997. The Company's principal source of funds used to pay dividends to shareholders and service long-term debt is the dividends it receives from subsidiary banks. Various federal and state statutory provisions, in addition to regulatory policies and directives, limit the amount of dividends that subsidiary banks can pay without prior regulatory approval. These restrictions have had no major impact on the Company's dividend policy or its ability to service long-term debt, nor is it anticipated that they will have any major impact in the foreseeable future. In addition to the subsidiary banks' 1997 profits, approximately $4.5 million can be paid to the Company as dividends without prior regulatory approval. The primary source of capital for the Company is retained earnings. The Company paid cash dividends of $0.36 per share for the first half of 1997 and $0.32 per share for the first half of 1996. Earnings per share for the same periods were $1.20 and $0.89, respectively. The Company retained 70% of earnings for the first six months of 1997. Under guidelines issued by banking regulators, the Company and its subsidiary banks are required to maintain a minimum Tier 1 risk- based capital ratio of 4% and a minimum total risk-based ratio of 8%. Risk-based capital ratios weight the relative risk factors of all assets and consider the risk associated with off-balance sheet items. The Company must also maintain a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4% as of March 31, 1997. The Company's Tier 1 leverage, Tier 1 risk- based and total risk-based ratios were 7.37%, 9.89% and 11.14%, respectively as of June 30, 1997. As of June 30, 1997, management is not aware of any current recommendations by banking regulatory authorities which, if they were to be implemented, would have, or would be reasonably likely to have, a material adverse impact on the Company's liquidity, capital resources, or operations. Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices The majority of the Company's assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. Therefore, the Company differs greatly from most commercial and industrial companies that have significant investment in nonmonetary assets, such as fixed assets and inventories. However, inflation does have an important impact on the growth of assets in the banking industry and on the resulting need to increase equity capital at higher than normal rates in order to maintain an appropriate equity to assets ratio. Inflation also affects other expenses, which tend to rise during periods of general inflation. Management believes the most significant impact on financial and operating results is the Company's ability to react to changes in interest rates. Management seeks to maintain an essentially balanced position between interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities in order to protect against the effects of wide interest rate fluctuations.
