SUMMIT BANCSHARES REPORTS
THIRD QUARTER 2003 EARNINGS
Fort Worth, Texas - Summit Bancshares, Inc. (NASDAQ: SBIT), a community-oriented
bank holding company in Fort Worth, with assets of $778 million, reported third
quarter earnings today. Philip E. Norwood, Chairman, President, and Chief
Executive Officer stated, "Summit is very fortunate to be operating in a strong
market such as Fort Worth and Tarrant County. Summit benefits by being able to
continue to have good loan and deposit growth that more than offsets the
negative pressure of what is and has been a low and declining interest rate
environment."
He further stated, "Summit was able to record a modest provision for loan losses
for the quarter as the level of non-performing loans continued to improve.
Recoveries, net of charge-offs of previously charged-off loans, totaled $25,000
in the third quarter and totaled $191,000 year-to-date. These results also
contributed to our positive performance for the quarter and year-to-date and
assisted in maintaining a strong loan loss reserve."
Results of Operations
- ---------------------
For the quarter ended September 30, 2003, net income was $2,475,000 compared to
$2,372,000 for the same quarter in 2002. Net income per diluted share was $0.39
for the three months ended September 30, 2003, compared to $0.37 for the three
months ended September 30, 2002. Return on average assets and return on average
stockholders' equity for the third quarter of 2003 were 1.29% and 14.38%,
respectively. Both of these measures of overall profitability compare favorably
to the Company's peers, particularly when considering the Company's strong
capital position. The Company's average stockholders' equity-to-assets ratio was
9.0% for the quarter ended September 30, 2003.
Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 was $7,365,000 or $1.17
per diluted share, compared to $7,052,000, or $1.10 per diluted share for the
same period last year. Return on average assets and return on average
stockholder's equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 were 1.36% and
14.60%, respectively, again, strong returns when compared to Company's peers and
considering the Company's strong capital position.
Financial Results
- -----------------
Net interest income for the third quarter of 2003 was $7.9 million compared to
$7.6 million in the third quarter of last year. Since the Company is somewhat
more sensitive to market interest rate changes than other community banks due to
its heavier commercial lending focus, the net interest margin declined to 4.37%
for the quarter compared to 4.53% for the third quarter of the prior year.
Although the Company has experienced a decline in net interest margin over the
last few quarters, the Company's current net interest income continues to
increase quarter over quarter due to asset growth.
The average prime rate in the third quarter of last year was 4.75% while the
average prime rate for the third quarter of this year was 4.00%, a decline of 75
basis points. Because of the decline in this important market interest rate, the
Company has continued to experience interest rate compression between what it
earns on interest earning assets and pays on interest bearing liabilities. Also,
the current low interest rate environment, which is the lowest in over 40 years,
has had a negative impact on net interest income for that portion of earning
assets supported by the Company's high levels of non-interest bearing deposits
and stockholders' equity, when comparing results to periods when market interest
rates were higher. When market interest rates begin to rise sometime in the
future, the Company's current asset sensitive position will be positive to
earnings growth.
Non-interest income , excluding gains on sales of securities, increased $127,000
or 9.3% for the third quarter of 2003 compared to the same quarter in the prior
year with a positive increase in service charges on deposit accounts. Growth of
revenue in the area of non-interest income continues to be one of the Company's
focus areas.
Non-interest expenses for the third quarter increased $1.4 million or 34.2% over
the same quarter of the previous year. After excluding a $319,000 insurance
claim settlement on foreclosed property that reduced expenses for the third
quarter of the prior year, the increase in expense would have been $1.1 million
or 24.8%. This increase reflects costs associated with the Company's growth and
included increases in salary and employee benefit expense, primarily for added
staff, including three new-seasoned loan officers added in June of 2003,
additions to the technology and operations staff, and staff additions for the
Hulen Branch that opened in June and the Davis Branch that opened in January.
Also included in this increase is the impact on occupancy and equipment expenses
due to the addition of the two new branches, a new operations facility that was
occupied in May, and the expense of the new core operating system added in
October of last year.
The provision for loan losses was $46,000 in the third quarter of 2003. This was
a decrease of $1.3 million over the same quarter last year. In the quarter, the
Company had net recoveries from prior loan charge-offs of $25,000. The growth in
loans resulted in a decline of the Allowance for Loan Losses as a percent of
outstanding loans to 1.45% at September 30, 2003 as compared to 1.48% at the end
of the second quarter of 2003. For the first nine months of 2003, the Company
has net recoveries of previously charged-off loans of $191,000.
Non-performing assets totaled $1.5 million or 0.29% of loans and foreclosed
assets at September 30, 2003, compared to $5.0 million or 1.04% at September 30,
2002. The Allowance for Loan Losses was 494% of non-performing loans at
September 30, 2003. The Company has made significant progress in improving these
measures of asset quality over the last several quarters.
The Company's loans were $518 million at September 30, 2003, an increase of $44
million, or 9.2%, from a year ago and increased 3.6% from June 30, 2003.
Deposits increased over the past year from $571 million to $638 million, an
increase of $67 million, or 11.7% and increased 4.2% from June 30, 2003.
Stockholders' equity at September 30, 2003 was $68.0 million compared to $64.8
million at September 30, 2002.
Mr. Norwood also stated, "The Company is involved in several activities to
improve top line revenue including new products and geographic expansion in the
Fort Worth/Tarrant County Metro Area. In addition we have been successful in
attracting some well qualified team members that we know will contribute to the
Company's growth."
