NBT Bancorp Inc. Announces Quarterly Earnings of $14.2 Million; Declares Cash Dividend
NORWICH, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 24, 2006--NBT Bancorp Inc. (NBT) (NASDAQ: NBTB) reported today that net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 was $14.2 million, up 8% or $1.1 million from net income of $13.1 million reported for the same period in 2005. Net income per diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2006 was $0.41 per share, as compared to $0.40 per share for the same period in 2005. Return on average assets and return on average equity were 1.15% and 14.71%, respectively, for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, compared with 1.22% and 16.21%, respectively, for the same period in 2005. The increase in net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, was primarily the result of a $2.0 million increase in net interest income and a $1.5 million increase in noninterest income. In addition, the Company experienced a decrease in the provision for loan and lease losses of $0.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005. The aforementioned increases in income and reduction of the provision for loan and lease losses were partially offset by a $3.0 million increase in noninterest expense. Results for the three months ended June 30, 2006, include $0.4 million in pre-tax salaries and benefits expense related to stock options resulting from the adoption on January 1, 2006 of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004) (FAS 123R), "Share-Based Payment", which requires companies to measure and recognize compensation expense for all share-based payments. The adoption of FAS 123R lowered diluted earnings per share by $0.01 for the three months ended June 30, 2006.
Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2006, was $27.8 million, up 7% or $1.9 million from net income of $25.9 million reported for the same period in 2005. Net income per diluted share for the six month period ended June 30, 2006 was $0.81 per share, as compared to $0.79 per share for the same period in 2005. Return on average assets and return on average equity were 1.17% and 14.93%, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared with 1.23% and 15.99%, respectively, for the same period in 2005. The increase in net income for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was primarily the result of a $3.4 million increase in net interest income and a $2.0 million increase in noninterest income. In addition, the Company experienced a decrease in the provision for loan and lease losses of $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005. The aforementioned increases in income were partially offset by a $4.6 million increase in noninterest expense. Results for the six months ended June 30, 2006, include $1.1 million in pre-tax salaries and benefits expense related to stock options resulting from the adoption of FAS 123R on January 1, 2006. This lowered diluted earnings per share by $0.03 for the six months ended June 30, 2006.
The comparability of financial information is affected by the acquisition of CNB Bancorp, Inc. ("CNB"). Operating results include the operations of CNB from the date of acquisition, which was February 10, 2006.
NBT President and CEO Martin A. Dietrich stated, "These are challenging times for the entire financial services industry. I am pleased by the efforts of all of our people and our ability to continue our earnings growth in this higher interest rate environment is a testament to their efforts. Despite the continuing flat yield curve environment and decline in net interest margin, we are pleased to report another solid quarter for the Company, due in large part to our solid loan and deposit growth, as well as our noninterest income growth."
In late June, portions of NBT's market areas in New York and Pennsylvania were affected by record flooding. Dietrich said, "I am very proud of the efforts of our employees. Many went above and beyond the call of duty in safely helping us restore our banking functions in the areas most heavily hit. These efforts, in conjunction with our disaster recovery plan, allowed us to process our work with minimal interruption to our branch and ATM network. At this time, we do not believe that the flood's financial impact on our business is significant. Most of the damage to our facilities is covered by insurance. We extend our sympathies to those in our communities who suffered losses due to this devastating flood."
Loan and Lease Quality and Provision for Loan and Lease Losses
Nonperforming loans at June 30, 2006 were $12.9 million or 0.38% of total loans and leases compared with $13.5 million or 0.45% of total loans and leases at June 30, 2005 and $14.3 million or 0.47% of total loans and leases at December 31, 2005. Annualized net charge-offs to average loans and leases for the six months ended June 30, 2006, were 0.20%, compared with the 0.18% annualized ratio for the six months ended June 30, 2005, and the ratio for the year ended December 31, 2005 of 0.23%. The Company's allowance for loan and lease losses was 1.50% of loans and leases at June 30, 2006 compared with 1.55% at June 30, 2005, and 1.57% at December 31, 2005. The ratio of the allowance for loan and lease losses to nonperforming loans was 390.04% at June 30, 2006 compared with 344.01% at June 30, 2005, and 331.92% at December 31, 2005.
For the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2006, the provision for loan and lease losses totaled $1.7 million and $3.4 million, respectively, compared with the $2.3 million and $4.1 million for the same periods in 2005. The decrease in the provision for loan and lease losses for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2006, when compared with the same periods in 2005, was due primarily to improved credit quality.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income was up 5.2% to $41.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, compared to $39.3 million for the same period a year ago. Despite a decrease in the Company's net interest margin, which was 3.73% for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, down from 4.02% for the same period in 2005, the increase in net interest income was attributable to 14% growth in average earning assets. The growth in average earning assets was due primarily to the acquisition of CNB. Despite a decrease in the Company's net interest margin, which was 3.80% for the six months ended June 30, 2006, down from 4.06% for the same period in 2005, net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2006 increased 4.3%, to $81.5 million from $78.1 million in the same period for 2005. The increase in net interest income was attributable to a 12% growth in average earning assets due primarily to the acquisition of CNB. The decline in the net interest margin is due largely to the effect from our borrowings, money market accounts and time deposits repricing in the higher interest rate environment. Earning assets, particularly those tied to a fixed rate, have not realized the benefit of the higher interest rate environment, since rates for earning assets with terms three years or longer have remained relatively flat during this period. The Company anticipates that margin pressure will persist into the next several quarters given the flat yield curve.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 was $12.6 million, up $1.5 million or 13.6% from $11.1 million for the same period in 2005. Fees from service charges on deposit accounts and ATM and debit cards collectively increased $0.4 million from solid growth in demand deposit accounts and debit card base. Retirement plan administration fees for the three months ended June 30, 2006, increased $0.3 million compared with the same period in 2005 as a result of our growing client base. Trust administration income increased $0.2 million or 16.6% for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005. This increase stems from the increased market value of accounts generating greater fees, an increase in customer accounts as a result of the acquisition of CNB, and successful business development. Broker/dealer and insurance revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2006 increased $0.2 million in large part due to the addition of Hathaway Insurance Agency as part of the acquisition of CNB, as well as the planned expansion of the financial services business. Other noninterest income increased $0.3 million compared with the same period in 2005, primarily due to increases in retail and commercial banking fees.
Noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $23.8 million, up $2.0 million or 9.3% from $21.8 million for the same period in 2005. Included in noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 2006 were $0.9 million in net losses from investment securities sales. Excluding the effect of these transactions for the six months ended June 30, 2006, noninterest income increased $3.0 million or 13.7% compared with the same period in 2005. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, fees from service charges on deposit accounts and ATM and debit cards collectively increased $1.0 million from solid growth in demand deposit accounts, which has led to an increase in the Company's debit card base. Retirement plan administration fees for the six months ended June 30, 2006, increased $0.6 million compared with the same period in 2005 due to an increase in our client base. Trust administration income increased $0.3 million or 12.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005. This increase stems from the increased market value of accounts generating greater fees, an increase in customer accounts as a result of the acquisition of CNB, and successful business development. Other noninterest income increased $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared with the same period in 2005, due to increases in retail and commercial banking fees. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, broker/dealer and insurance revenue decreased by $0.2 million as compared with the same period in 2005. While the Company experienced organic growth and acquired Hathaway Insurance Agency during the period in 2006, these increases over 2005 were offset by the sale of M. Griffith, Inc. in the first quarter of 2005.
Noninterest Expense and Income Tax Expense
Noninterest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 was $31.7 million, up from $28.7 million for the same period in 2005. Salaries and employee benefits for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, increased $1.1 million over the same period in 2005, mainly from higher salaries from merit increases, the acquisition of CNB, and stock-based compensation costs associated with the adoption of FAS 123R. Office expenses such as supplies and postage, occupancy, equipment, and data processing and communications charges increased by $0.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 as compared with the same period in 2005. This 9.7% increase resulted primarily from the overall growth of the Company as well as the acquisition of CNB Bancorp on February 10, 2006. Professional fees and services increased $0.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 as compared with the same period in 2005. This increase was due to several factors including an increase in courier service expenses due to the acquisition of CNB, as well as increasing transportation costs. In addition, legal fees incurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2006 increased over the same period in 2005 as the Company was reimbursed for legal fees during the second quarter of 2005 associated with prior litigation. Amortization expense increased $0.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 over the same period in 2005. This increase was due primarily to the acquisition of CNB. Other operating expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 increased $0.3 million compared with the same period in 2005, primarily due to $0.2 million in flood related losses. Income tax expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 was $6.4 million, up from $6.2 million for the same period in 2005. The effective rate for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 was 31.0%, down from 32.2% for the same period in 2005. The decline in the effective tax rate during the second quarter 2006 versus the same period in 2005 is primarily a result of an increase in interest income from tax exempt sources.
Noninterest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $62.2 million, up from $57.6 million for the same period in 2005. Salaries and employee benefits for the six months ended June 30, 2006, increased $1.4 million over the same period in 2005, mainly from higher salaries from merit increases, the acquisition of CNB, and stock-based compensation costs associated with the adoption of FAS 123R. Office expenses such as supplies and postage, occupancy, equipment, and data processing and communications charges increased by $1.1 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 as compared with the same period in 2005. This 6.7% increase resulted primarily from the overall growth of the Company as well as the acquisition of CNB Bancorp on February 10, 2006. Professional fees and services increased $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 as compared with the same period in 2005. This increase was due to several factors including an increase in courier service expenses due to the acquisition of CNB, as well as increasing transportation costs. In addition, legal fees incurred during the period increased over the same period in 2005 as the Company was reimbursed for legal fees during the second quarter of 2005 associated with prior litigation. Amortization expense increased $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 over the same period in 2005. This increase was due primarily to the acquisition of CNB. Other operating expense for the six months ended June 30, 2006 increased $1.1 million compared with the same period in 2005, in large part due to merger expenses incurred as a result of the acquisition of CNB as well as flood related losses. Income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $11.9 million, down from $12.3 million for the same period in 2005. The effective rate for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was 30.0%, down from 32.2% for the same period in 2005. The decrease in tax expense and the effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2006 resulted primarily from a settlement for a tax refund claim of $0.5 million during the first quarter and an increase in interest income from tax exempt sources.
