JASPER, Ind., Oct. 29, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- German American Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: GABC) reported quarterly earnings of $12.6 million, or $0.55 per share, in the third quarter of 2018. This record level of quarterly earnings performance was an increase of approximately $1.5 million, or 15% on a per share basis, over second quarter 2018 net income of $11.1 million, or $0.48 per share, and an increase of approximately $3.0 million, or 31% on a per share basis, relative to the Company’s third quarter 2017 net income of $9.7 million, or $0.42 per share.
On a year-to-date basis, reported earnings for the first nine months of 2018 were $35.6 million, or $1.55 per share, which represents an increase of approximately $6.5 million, or 22% on a per share basis, from the first nine months of 2017 net income of $29.1 million, or $1.27 per share. 2018 reported earnings were inclusive of $1.5 million in acquisition-related expenses, of which $396,000 (approximately $317,000, or $0.01 per share, on an after-tax basis) were recorded in the third quarter, with the remaining $1.1 million (approximately $867,000, or $0.04 per share, on an after-tax basis) incurred in the first half of 2018. These acquisition-related expenses were associated with the five-branch acquisition in the Columbus and Greensburg, Indiana markets that closed on May 18, 2018 and the merger with First Security, Inc. of Owensboro, Kentucky that closed on October 15, 2018.
2018 third quarter record financial performance, relative to that of the prior quarter of this year and the same quarter last year, was largely attributable to increased net interest income, which was driven by the Company’s double-digit increases, on an annualized basis, in the level of average loans outstanding. Average loans outstanding during the third quarter of 2018 was $2.319 billion, which was an increase of $88.7 million, or 16% on an annualized basis, relative to the average loans outstanding during the second quarter of 2018. Relative to the average loans in the third quarter of 2017, the current quarter average loans represented an increase of $260.2 million, or 13%. These increases in average loans outstanding were driven by organic loan growth from the Company’s existing branch footprint and from the growth related to the branch acquisition the Company completed during the second quarter.
2018 third quarter, second quarter and year-to-date reported net income and earnings per share were also positively impacted by the federal income tax reform legislation, which reduced the Company’s corporate federal income tax statutory rate of 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018.
Commenting on German American’s record quarterly performance, Mark A. Schroeder, German American’s Chairman & CEO, stated, "The record earnings performance achieved in the third quarter was a direct result of the combined organic and acquisition growth in deposits, loans, and total assets that our Company has achieved throughout the past year. We are very encouraged about our prospects for continued growth in the future based on the economic strength within our existing Southern Indiana markets. Furthermore, we successfully completed, earlier this month, the previously announced pending merger transaction with Owensboro, Kentucky based First Security, Inc., which expands German American’s footprint into Bowling Green, Lexington and Owensboro, three of the most economically vibrant markets in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. This combination of First Security and German American will elevate German American’s consolidated total assets to nearly $4.0 billion, with a projected total loan portfolio of approximately $2.8 billion and total deposit balances of approximately $3.0 billion. We welcome the communities, customers, employees and shareholders of First Security to the German American family of community banks, and look forward to further enhancing our relationships with all these stakeholders.”
The Company also announced its Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per share, which will be payable on November 20, 2018 to shareholders of record as of November 10, 2018.

Total deposits increased $39.4 million, or 6% on an annualized basis, as of September 30, 2018 compared with June 30, 2018 and increased $216.3 million, or 9%, compared with September 30, 2017. The increase in total deposits as of September 30, 2018 compared with September 30, 2017 was largely driven by the previously discussed branch acquisition.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2018, net interest income totaled $28,548,000, which represented an increase of $1,079,000, or 4%, from the quarter ended June 30, 2018 net interest income of $27,469,000 and an increase of $3,631,000, or 15%, compared with the quarter ended September 30, 2017 net interest income of $24,917,000. The increased level of net interest income during the third quarter of 2018 compared with the both the second quarter of 2018 and third quarter of 2017 was driven primarily by a higher level of average earning assets. Also contributing to the increased net interest income during the third quarter of 2018 compared with the third quarter of 2017 was an improvement in the tax equivalent net interest margin. The increased level of average earning assets in the third quarter of 2018, compared with the second quarter of 2018, was driven by organic loan growth from the Company's existing branch footprint of $30.3 million combined with growth related to the branch acquisition of $58.4 million which was completed during May 2018. The $30.3 million of average organic loan growth equated to approximately 6% annualized growth during third quarter of 2018, compared with the second quarter of 2018.
The tax equivalent net interest margin for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 was 3.76% compared with 3.77% in the second quarter of 2018 and 3.70% in the third quarter of 2017. The lower federal income tax rates during 2018 had an approximately 9 basis point negative impact on the Company's net interest margin in both the second and third quarters of 2018 compared with 2017. The improvement in the net interest margin, excluding the impact of the lower federal tax rates, during third quarter of 2018 compared to both comparative periods was related to the positive impact on earning asset yields caused by the continued increase in short-term market interest rates partially offset by an increased cost of funds also related to the increased short-term interest rates.
Accretion of loan discounts on acquired loans contributed approximately 8 basis points to the net interest margin on an annualized basis in the third quarter of 2018, 7 basis points in the second quarter of 2018, and 5 basis points in the third quarter of 2017.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2018, the Company recorded a provision for loan loss of $500,000 compared with a provision for loan loss of $1,220,000 in the second quarter of 2018 and $250,000 in the third quarter of 2017. The provision during all periods was done in accordance with the Company's standard methodology for determining the adequacy of its allowance for loan loss.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2018, non-interest income totaled $8,963,000, an increase of $81,000, or 1%, compared with the quarter ended June 30, 2018, and an increase of $688,000, or 8%, compared with the third quarter of 2017.

Trust and investment product fees declined $92,000, or 5%, during the third quarter of 2018 compared with the second quarter of 2018 and increased $284,000, or 22%, compared with the third quarter of 2017. The increase in the third quarter of 2018 compared with the third quarter of 2017 was largely attributable to increased assets under management in the Company's wealth advisory group.
Service charges on deposit accounts increased $215,000, or 13%, during the third quarter of 2018 compared with the second quarter of 2018 and increased $250,000, or 16%, compared with the third quarter of 2017. The increase during the third quarter of 2018 compared with both the second quarter of 2018 and third quarter of 2017 was positively impacted by the five-branch acquisition completed during May 2018.
Interchange fees increased $133,000, or 8%, during the third quarter of 2018 compared with the second quarter of 2018 and increased $661,000, or 56%, compared with the third quarter of 2017. The increase during the third quarter of 2018 compared with the second quarter of 2018 was largely attributable to increased card utilization by customers and the second quarter branch acquisition. The increase during the third quarter of 2018 compared with the third quarter of 2017 was attributable to increased card utilization by customers, the branch acquisition and also attributable to the adoption of the new revenue recognition standard effective January 1, 2018. While the adoption of the standard did not have a significant impact on the Company's financial results, the recording of revenue gross versus net of certain expenses, in accordance with the standard, did result in the reclassification of some expenses associated with the interchange fee revenue during the first first nine months of 2018.
Other operating income declined $274,000, or 30%, during the quarter ended September 30, 2018 compared with the second quarter of 2018 and increased $31,000, or 5%, compared with the third quarter of 2017. The decline in the third quarter of 2018 compared with the second quarter of 2018 was largely attributable to a decline in merchant card services revenue related to a non-recurring incentive payment received during the second quarter of 2018.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2018, non-interest expense totaled $21,576,000, a decline of $132,000, or 1%, compared with the quarter ended June 30, 2018, and an increase of $1,805,000, or 9%, compared with the third quarter of 2017. The third quarter of 2018 included a full quarter of operating expenses for the five-branch acquisition completed during the second quarter of 2018. The third quarter of 2018 included acquisition-related expenses of a non-recurring nature of approximately $396,000 (approximately $317,000 or $0.01 per share, on an after tax basis) while the second quarter of 2018 included acquisition-related expenses of approximately $904,000 (approximately $727,000 or $0.03 per share, on an after-tax basis) for the five-branch acquisition that closed on May 18, 2018 and the acquisition of First Security, Inc. that closed on October 15, 2018.

Salaries and benefits increased $115,000, or 1%, during the quarter ended September 30, 2018 compared with the second quarter of 2018 and increased $564,000, or 5%, compared with the third quarter of 2017. The increase in salaries and benefits during the third quarter of 2018 compared with both the second quarter of 2018 and the third quarter of 2017 was primarily attributable to an increased number of full-time equivalent employees.
Occupancy, furniture and equipment expense increased $211,000, or 8%, during the third quarter of 2018 compared with the second quarter of 2018 and increased $366,000, or 15%, compared to the third quarter of 2017. The increase during the third quarter of 2018 compared to both the second quarter of 2018 and the third quarter of 2017 was primarily due to operating costs related to the acquisition of the five banking branches in the Columbus and Greensburg, Indiana markets as well as other facilities the Company has placed into service over the past twelve months.
Data processing fees declined $89,000, or 6%, during the third quarter of 2018 compared with the second quarter of 2018 and increased $242,000, or 23%, compared to the third quarter of 2017. The decline during the third quarter of 2018 compared with the second quarter of 2018 was driven by a lower level of conversion-related costs associated with the aforementioned branch acquisition. The higher level of costs during the third quarter of 2018 compared with the third quarter of 2017 was primarily attributable to costs associated with merger and acquisition activity during 2018 and overall growth of the Company.
Professional fees declined $568,000, or 42%, during the third quarter of 2018 compared with the second quarter of 2018 and increased $242,000, or 44%, compared to the third quarter of 2017. The decline during the third quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2018 was was largely related to a lower level of professional fees associated with the previously discussed merger and acquisition activity of the Company. The increase during the third quarter of 2018 compared with the third quarter of 2017 was due to professional fees related to merger and acquisition activity during 2018, while there were no professional fee costs for acquisitions during the third quarter of 2017.
Advertising and promotion expense declined $6,000, or less than 1%, during the third quarter of 2018 compared with the second quarter of 2018 and declined $464,000, or 35%, compared to the third quarter of 2017. The decline in the third quarter of 2018 compared to the third quarter of 2017 was primarily related to the donation of a former branch facility to a municipality in one of the Company's market areas during the third quarter of 2017.
Intangible amortization increased $124,000, or 41%, during the quarter ended September 30, 2018 compared with the second quarter of 2018 and increased $200,000, or 87%, compared with the third quarter of 2017. The increase in intangible amortization was attributable to the previously discussed branch acquisition completed during the second quarter of 2018.
Other operating expenses declined $5,000, or less than 1%, during the third quarter of 2018 compared with the second quarter of 2018 and increased $572,000, or 24%, compared with the third quarter of 2017. The increase in the third quarter of 2018 compared with the third quarter of 2017 was largely attributable to the adoption of the revenue recognition standard effective January 1, 2018 and the reclassification of expense as previously discussed.
The Company’s effective income tax rate was 18.1% during the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared with an effective tax rate of 17.3% during the second quarter of 2018 and 26.7% during the third quarter of 2017. The Company's effective tax rate and provision for income tax was positively impacted during the first three quarters of 2018 by the reduction of federal income tax rates from a statutory rate of 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018 related to the federal tax reform legislation enacted during the fourth quarter of 2017.
