The Bank of Kentucky Financial Corporation Announces Third Quarter Earnings
CRESTVIEW HILLS, Ky., Oct 22, 2009 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX) -- By Staff
Companies: Bank of Kentucky Financial Corp. (THE) (BKYF), Integra Bank Corp. (IBNK)
The Bank of Kentucky Financial Corporation (the "Company") (Nasdaq:BKYF), the holding company of The Bank of Kentucky, Inc. (the "Bank"), today reported its earnings for the third quarter and the nine months ended September 30, 2009. For the third quarter and the first nine months of 2009, the Company reported a decrease in diluted earnings per common share of 40% for the year, and 70% for the third quarter, as compared to the same periods in 2008. The third quarter results reflect the sale of $34 million in preferred stock and the issuance of a warrant for shares of common stock to the U.S. Department of Treasury ("Treasury") on February 13, 2009 in connection with the Company's participation in the Treasury's TARP Capital Purchase Program. The effect of Treasury's investment on earnings per common share includes the accrual for the payment of dividends on the preferred stock and related preferred stock amortization expense of $506,000 for the third quarter and $1,283,000 for the nine-months ended September 30, 2009. No comparable dividends were paid for the corresponding periods in 2008. With continued earnings and the Treasury investment, the Company continues to maintain a significantly higher level of capital than required by regulatory authorities to be designated as well-capitalized. The third quarter results included an additional $3,225,000 provision for loan losses as compared to the third quarter of 2008. Contributing to this increase in the provision for loan losses were higher levels of charge-offs and non-performing loans in the third quarter of 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008, and management's continuing concerns over the effect of the declining housing market, falling real estate values and overall deteriorating economic conditions will have on the Company's loan portfolio. The third quarter results also included $594,000 in losses on the sale of other real estate owned, of which $462,000 was from one property. In the third quarter of 2009, the Bank announced plans to purchase three banking offices of Integra Bank Corporation's wholly-owned bank subsidiary, Integra Bank N.A., located in Crittenden, Dry Ridge and Warsaw, Kentucky and a portfolio of selected commercial loans originated by Integra Bank's Covington, Kentucky, loan production office. This transaction is expected to add $85 million in deposits and at least $85 million in loans. As of September 30, 2009, the Bank has purchased $50 million of the loans from Integra. The remainder of the transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2009.
A summary of the Company's results follows: Third Quarter ended September 30, 2009 2008 Change --------------------------------- ---- ---- ------ Net income $1,545,000 $3,419,000 (55)% Net income available for common shareholders $1,039,000 $3,419,000 (70)% Earnings per common share, basic $ 0.19 $ 0.61 (69)% Earnings per common share, diluted $ 0.18 $ 0.61 (70)% Nine Months ended September 30, 2009 2008 Change ------------------------------ ---- ---- ------ Net income $6,432,000 $8,550,000 (25)% Net income available for common shareholders $5,149,000 $8,550,000 (40)% Net income per common share, basic $ 0.92 $ 1.52 (39)% Net income per common share, diluted $ 0.91 $ 1.52 (40)%
Net interest income increased $873,000, or 8% in the third quarter of 2009, as compared to the same period in 2008, while the net interest margin, on a tax equivalent basis, decreased 14 basis points from 3.86% in the third quarter of 2008 to 3.72% in the third quarter of 2009. The increase in net interest income was the result of the growth in earning assets, which increased $148 million or 14% on average from the third quarter of 2008. While the net interest margin decreased, the net interest spread, the difference between the Bank's yield on earning assets and the cost of interest bearing liabilities, decreased by only 1 basis point from the third quarter of 2008. The difference between the net interest margin and net interest spread is accounted for by the diminishing impact that net non interest bearing funding, net free funds, has on the margin as overall funding cost decreased.
The provision for loan losses increased by $3,225,000 (416%) in the third quarter of 2009, as compared to the same period in 2008. Contributing to this increase were higher levels of charge-offs in the third quarter of 2009, as compared to the same period in 2008, and management's concerns over the declining housing market, falling real estate values and overall deteriorating economic conditions. The Company recorded $2,038,000 in net charge-offs in the third quarter of 2009 as compared to $410,000 in the third quarter of 2008. The Company's non-performing loans as a percentage of total loans were 2.29% as of September 30, 2009, as compared to 1.17% as of September 30, 2008, and the annualized net charge-offs to average loans increased from .16% in the third quarter of 2008 to .76% in the third quarter of 2009. As a result of the stress current economic conditions have had on the Company's loan portfolio, the allowance for loan losses (ALL) increased $1,962,000 (17%) from the end of the second quarter of 2009 and $3,868,000 (39%) from the end of 2008. As a result of the added allowance, the ALL has increased from .97% of loans at the end of 2008 to 1.24% of loans at the end of the third quarter. Removing the loans purchased from Integra, the ALL would be 1.30% of loans. The loans from Integra were purchased at a discount of .98%, and current accounting does not allow this discount to be added to the ALL. The adequacy of the ALL is analyzed quarterly and adjusted as necessary to maintain appropriate reserves for probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio.
Non-interest income decreased 8% ($331,000) in the third quarter of 2009, as compared to the same period in 2008, while non-interest expense increased 3% ($264,000) from the same period last year. Contributing to the decrease in non-interest income was $594,000 in losses on the sale of other real estate owned. Non-interest expense in the third quarter of 2009 included a $235,000 (121%) increase in FDIC insurance expense.
Total assets were $1.392 billion at the end of the third quarter of 2009, which was $177 million or 15% higher than the same date a year ago. Total loans and investments grew $111 million or 11% and $56 million or 57% respectively, from September of 2008 and were funded by an increase in deposits of $158 million or 16% and an increase in preferred stock and warrants of $34 million.
