Exhibit 99.1 Summit Financial Group Reports 16.5% Increase in Q2 Net Income MOOREFIELD, W.Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 20, 2005--Summit Financial Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: SMMF) today reported second quarter 2005 net income of $3.1 million, an increase of 16.5 percent from the $2.7 million reported for the second quarter of 2004. Diluted earnings per share were $0.43 compared with $0.38 for the prior-year quarter, up 13.2 percent. The increase reflects solid growth in revenue, both from community banking and mortgage banking activities, as well as controlled expense growth. For the second quarter of 2005, the returns on average shareholders' equity and average assets were 18.21 percent 1.34 percent, respectively, compared with prior-year period ratios of 17.96 percent and 1.29 percent. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, Summit reported net income of $5.5 million, an increase of 7.8 percent from the $5.1 million reported for the first six months of 2004. Diluted earnings per share were $0.77 compared with $0.72 for the prior-year period, up 6.9 percent. The increase reflects strong revenue growth, both from community banking and mortgage banking activities, partially offset by higher costs associated with expansion activities. For the first six months of 2005, the returns on average shareholders' equity and average assets were 16.41 percent and 1.21 percent, respectively, compared with prior-year period ratios of 17.31 percent and 1.26 percent. H. Charles Maddy, III, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are pleased to report strong growth in net income on both a year-over-year and a sequential quarter basis. Both segments of our business are generating strong revenue growth. Community banking is growing at a solid pace, mainly from the recent investments we have made to expand our Virginia franchise. We recently opened our sixth branch in Virginia, and we are quite optimistic about opportunities going forward. We are experiencing very strong commercial loan production from a combination of the robust Virginia economy and the success of the talented bankers that we have placed in key positions. "We have been more proactive in terms of deposit growth, and the results have been gratifying. As a result of retail campaigns to promote our high yield interest-bearing checking product, we are experiencing stronger deposit growth than in 2004, which has helped to control funding costs. We are pleased that our net interest margin has remained within a tight 10 basis point band throughout the past 12 months. Non-interest expenses have also remained under control. SECOND QUARTER 2005 CONSOLIDATED RESULTS Total revenue for the second quarter of 2005, consisting of net interest income plus non-interest income, was $15.8 million, an increase of 11.2 percent over the second quarter of 2004. Net interest income for the quarter increased 11.9 percent above the prior-year second quarter, to $7.6 million, reflecting 12.5 percent growth in average earning assets, partially offset by a 3 basis point drop in the net interest margin to 3.61 percent. Compared with first quarter 2005, the net interest margin improved 2 basis points. Non-interest income for the second quarter of 2005 was $8.2 million compared with $7.4 million for the prior-year period, an increase of 10.5 percent, reflecting improvement in all categories. The majority of the increase reflects a $0.5 million or 7.5 percent improvement in mortgage origination revenue from the Company's mortgage banking unit, Summit Mortgage (formerly known as Summit Financial, LLC), which is discussed below. Service fees and "other income" also demonstrated strong growth, up 15.8 percent and 86.6 percent, respectively, above last year's second quarter. Non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2005 was $10.9 million, a 7.0 percent increase over the $10.2 million reported for the second quarter of 2004. Salaries and employee benefits represented the largest category of expense growth, up $654 thousand or 13.8 percent. The efficiency ratio was 66.98 percent for the second quarter of 2005 compared with 69.61 percent for the prior-year period. (The efficiency ratio for the Company's Community Banking Segment, shown below, is a more accurate indicator of its performance compared with other community banks.) Asset quality remains strong. Charge-offs were $44,000 for the second quarter of 2005, equivalent to an annualized 0.03 percent of average loans. Nonperforming assets were $2.2 million or 0.23 percent of assets at June 30, 2005, down from $2.4 million or 0.29 percent at June 30, 2004. At period-end, loan loss reserves were 0.83 percent of loans. Assets at June 30, 2005 were $946.5 million, an increase of 11.4 percent over the last twelve months. The increase was driven by portfolio loan growth of $100.0 million, up 17.9 percent to $659.9 million. Commercial real estate loans, up $77.5 million or 30.9 percent, were the largest contributors to this growth. Deposits at June 30, 2005 were $565.2 million, an increase of $28.6 million, or 5.3 percent from prior-year second quarter levels. Year-to-date, deposits grew $40.6 million, or 7.7 percent, with total demand deposits up $31.1 million or 17.5 percent. For the 2005 six-month period, noninterest-bearing deposits rose $7.8 million, or 14.1 percent, while interest-bearing demand deposits rose $23.3 million, or 19.0%. The growth in demand deposits improved the deposit mix, with demand deposits now accounting for 37.0 percent of total deposits compared with 33.9 percent at year-end 2004. Growth in lower-cost demand deposits helped to limit the growth of short-term borrowings in the first half of 2004, and mitigate their cost. Over the past twelve months, short-term borrowings grew by $56.6 million to $128.0 million; of that total, only $7.3 million occurred in the first half of this year. Shareholders' equity at period end was $69.8 million, an increase of 18.4 percent over the last twelve months. Common shares outstanding totaled 7,123,820 at June 30, 2005. SECOND QUARTER 2005 OPERATING SEGMENT RESULTS Community Banking Financial Performance Net income for the second quarter of 2005 was $2.6 million, an increase of 7.4% from the prior-year quarter. Total revenue increased 13.5% to $8.5 million, while non-interest expense increased 14.4 percent to $4.4 million due to staff additions and the recently-opened Harrisonburg, Virginia branch. The Community Banking segment's efficiency ratio was 54.15 percent compared with 53.61 percent for the prior-year second quarter. Mortgage Banking Financial Performance The Company's mortgage banking unit, Summit Mortgage, commenced operations during the third quarter of 2003. This segment originates first mortgages in the Company's community banking markets and debt consolidation second mortgage loans for borrowers nationwide. Loan originations in the second quarter of 2005 were $83.6 million, up 21.3 percent above first quarter and up 12.5 percent above last year's second quarter. Loan sales were $81.4 million, up 21.9 percent above first quarter and 19.7 percent from the 2004 second quarter. Net income for the second quarter of 2005 was $755,000, an increase of 41.9 percent over the prior-year quarter. Revenue totaled $7.3 million, up 8.0 percent over the prior-year period, while non-interest expense increased 1.7 percent to $6.1 million.
