1st Source Corporation Announces Year End Results, Dividend Declared

Company Release -
1/25/2007 4:31 PM ET

SOUTH BEND, Ind.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

1st Source Corporation (Nasdaq:SRCE), parent company of 1st Source Bank, today reported record net income of $39.30 million for the year 2006, an increase of 16.43 percent over the $33.75 million reported for the year 2005. Diluted net income per common share for 2006 amounted to $1.72, up 17.81 percent compared to $1.46 diluted net income per common share for 2005.

Net income was $8.12 million for the fourth quarter of 2006, down 10.73 percent compared to the $9.10 million of net income reported for the fourth quarter of 2005. Diluted net income per common share for the fourth quarter of 2006 amounted to $0.36, compared to $0.39 per common share reported in the fourth quarter of 2005. (All common share and per common share information has been adjusted for a 10% stock dividend declared on July 27, 2006.)

The Board of Directors approved a fourth quarter cash dividend of $0.14 per share. The cash dividend is payable on February 15, 2007 to shareholders of record on February 5, 2007, and is an increase of 10.24 percent over the cash dividend announced one year ago.

Christopher J. Murphy III, Chairman of 1st Source Corporation, commented, "We are pleased to have ended the year with record net income of $39.30 million for 1st Source Corporation and with record assets of over $3.81 billion. During the fourth quarter, we opened in a new market, Kalamazoo; added a banking center in our traditional market - Heritage Square Martin's; and debuted a new regional headquarters, 1st Source Center, in downtown Fort Wayne."

"Between the fourth quarter of 2005 and the fourth quarter of 2006, we have noted significant margin pressure. Our income was down slightly in the quarter compared to fourth quarter 2005 due to lower mortgage banking income and increased expenses in the investment of a major core systems replacement project that allows us to grow for many years to come. While we have begun to see results from our banking center expansion, the costs are larger than the returns from these investments to date."

Mr. Murphy concluded, "We've seen strong loan growth in our commercial, small business and specialty finance areas; our assets under management for our trust and personal asset management area continue to expand and we continue to hold the number one deposit market share in our traditional 15 county market. We are continuing to grow and working on increasing our margins while holding costs down. We are committed to being the number one bank in our region."

1st Source's reserve for loan and lease losses as of December 31, 2006, was 2.18 percent of total loans and leases, compared to 2.38 percent as of December 31, 2005. Net charge-offs were $0.10 million for the fourth quarter 2006, compared to net recoveries of $0.87 million a year ago. Net recoveries for the year were $2.84 million compared to net recoveries of $0.88 million in 2005. The ratio of nonperforming assets to net loans and leases was 0.64 percent on December 31, 2006, compared to 0.87 percent on December 31, 2005.

Noninterest income for the fourth quarter of 2006 was $17.69 million, a marginal increase, as compared to the fourth quarter of 2005. During the fourth quarter of 2006 increases in equipment rental income and trust fees were mostly offset by a decline in mortgage banking income. Overall, for the year of 2006 as compared to the year 2005, noninterest income increased to $76.59 million, up 11.75 percent from 2005. For the year 2006 increases in the operating lease portfolio resulted in increased equipment rental income; market valuation adjustments resulted in gains on venture partnership investments; growth in assets under management and an increase in IRA custodian revenue resulted in increased trust fee income; and increased service charges on deposit accounts resulted in increased overdraft and NSF fees.

Noninterest expense for the fourth quarter of 2006 was $32.60 million an increase of 5.64 percent as compared to the fourth quarter of 2005. The increase in the fourth quarter of 2006 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2005 was primarily due to higher depreciation on leased equipment expense, furniture and equipment expense, and professional fees. For the year, noninterest expense was $126.21 million, up 2.25 percent from one year ago. The predominate factors behind the increase in noninterest expense for the year 2006 as compared to the year 2005 were lower gains and valuation adjustments on repossessed assets, higher depreciation expense on leased equipment, and an increase in professional fees and software costs which were mainly related to the core system conversion project. These increases were offset somewhat by a decrease in salaries and employee benefits which was largely due to a one-time reduction in the accrual for stock-based compensation expense taken in the first quarter of 2006 related to the adoption of a new accounting standard.

As of December 31, 2006, the 1st Source common equity-to-assets ratio was 9.69 percent, compared to 9.84 percent a year ago. Shareholders' equity was $368.90 million, up from $345.58 million a year ago. Total assets at the end of the fourth quarter of 2006 were $3.81 billion, up 8.43 percent compared to the same period last year. Total loans and leases were up 9.71 percent and total deposits were up 11.02 percent from the comparable figures at the end of the fourth quarter of 2005.
