WHEELING, W.Va., April 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Paul M. Limbert, President and Chief Executive Officer of WesBanco, Inc., (NASDAQ:WSBC) a Wheeling, West Virginia based multi-state bank holding company, today announced increased earnings for the first quarter ended March 31, 2007.
Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 was $11.9 million, an increase of $6.3 million over the $5.6 million of net income in the first quarter of 2006, while diluted earnings per share for the quarter were $0.56 per share compared to $0.25 per share for 2006. First quarter results showed improvement primarily as a result of a reduced loan loss provision and increases in non-interest income. In addition, improvement in the net interest margin from the 2006 balance sheet repositioning, limited the first quarter overall reduction in net interest income in a period of an inverted yield curve and highly competitive loan and deposit markets, which continue to present industry-wide challenges On a diluted per share basis, core operating earnings were $0.53 per share for the quarter, a 26.2% increase over $0.42 per share in 2006. Net income for the first quarter of 2007 included a $0.6 million after-tax gain from the recognition of a deferred gain on the sale of certain real property in 2004, and for 2006 included a $4.8 million after-tax loss arising in connection with the balance sheet repositioning, a $1.5 million net after-tax gain from the sale of four branches and $0.3 million net after-tax expense from the restructuring of certain mortgage operations.
"Results for the first quarter significantly improved over the first quarter of 2006 as a result of a 16 basis point improvement in the net interest margin to 3.56%, increases in non-interest income and a decrease in non-performing loans supporting a decrease in the loan loss provision," stated Mr. Limbert. "Quality in our investment and loan portfolios supported by management of liability costs has provided improved profitability. In addition, a current non-interest income revenue enhancement program has provided increases to certain categories of fee income." "Our branch optimization program will continue in the second quarter of 2007 when we will open a new office in Gahanna (Columbus), OH replacing an older, existing facility in the same vicinity, and we have started construction on a new banking center in the Highlands development between Wheeling, WV and Washington, PA," said Mr. Limbert. "These new facilities will serve to enhance WesBanco's presence in these markets and further improve customer service." Highlights for the first quarter of 2007: * Net interest income for the first quarter decreased $1.0 million or 3.2%
compared to the first quarter of 2006 as a result of the flat yield
curve environment experienced by the banking industry and an intentional
repositioning and reduction in the size of the balance sheet in 2006. Despite the shape of the yield curve, the net interest margin for the
first quarter increased to 3.56%, as compared to 3.40% in the first
quarter 2006 and 3.49% for the fourth quarter of 2006. This was
accomplished in part from both the balance sheet repositioning and
controlled deposit cost increases, enhanced somewhat by loan yield
increases and average balance increases in non-interest bearing deposit
accounts.
* The increase in non-interest income was $7.8 million compared to the
first quarter of 2006, but $1.3 million or 11.5% excluding the effects
of the non core 2007 $1.0 million deferred gain recognized on the sale
of a former branch facility which the Company sold and financed in 2004
and has now realized sufficient pay down in the associated receivable to
qualify for gain recognition, and for 2006, the $8.0 million loss
associated with WesBanco's balance sheet repositioning and gain of $2.5
million on the sale of the Ritchie County branches. The increase in
core earnings was due to higher trust fees of $0.3 million, improved
revenues in the securities brokerage business line of $0.3 million,
increased mortgage banking income from sales to the secondary market of
$0.3 million and $0.7 million in security sale gains.
* The provision for loan losses decreased $1.2 million in the first
quarter of 2007 as compared to first quarter 2006 primarily due to lower
levels of non-performing loans which decreased by 24.9% from December
31, 2006, however the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total
loans increased to 1.12% at March 31, 2007, from 1.10% at the end of the
first quarter of 2006. Non-performing loans decreased primarily through
payoffs and improvements in loan quality. Net charge-offs to average
loans increased to 0.24% for the 2007 quarter as compared to 0.18% for
the first quarter of 2006.
* Non-interest expense decreased $0.4 million or 1.6% compared to the
first quarter of 2006. The decrease was primarily due to a $0.5 million
decrease in marketing costs and a $0.5 million charge in 2006 relating
to the restructuring of certain mortgage banking operations. These
decreases were partially offset by a $0.5 million increase in salaries
and health benefit costs in the first quarter of 2007. Full-time
equivalent employees were approximately the same at March 31, 2007 as
compared to the prior year. The decrease in marketing expenses was due
to campaigns in 2006, which increased total checking and savings
accounts and related service charge and overdraft fee income. A new
marketing campaign is planned for the spring targeting demand deposit
accounts and home equity loans.
* The provision for income taxes increased $2.1 million compared to the
first quarter of 2006 due to an increase in pre-tax income and an
increase in the effective tax rate. For 2007 the effective tax rate
increased to 22.3% as compared to 19.6% in the first quarter of 2006 due
primarily to a lower percentage of tax-exempt income to total income.
* Total loans at March 31, 2007 decreased $92.2 million or 3.1% compared
to March 31, 2006 due to planned decreases in residential real estate
loans and, to a lesser degree, increased payoffs of commercial and home
equity loans. Loan growth over the last year was impacted by a decreased
retention of fixed rate residential real estate loans in the portfolio
as compared to sales to the secondary market, reduced market
opportunities for first mortgages and home equity loans in the higher
interest rate environment, certain loan paydowns particularly in
construction lending, and a focus on obtaining appropriate interest rate
spreads on new loans in a more competitive lending environment.
* Total deposits were relatively flat in the first quarter of 2007 as
compared to the prior year primarily due to increases in certificates of
deposit and interest bearing demand deposits mostly offset by decreases
in other deposit categories. The 3.9% increase in certificates of
deposit was due to growth in retail sales and from sales of a new
Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service (CDARS)(R) product
marketed as an alternative to certain customer repurchase agreements or
to replace other wholesale borrowings when conditions warranted. Interest bearing demand deposits increased 8.3% due to a new product
offering for certain municipal accounts. Money market and savings
accounts decreased as customers in a rising rate environment reinvested
in short- and intermediate-term certificates of deposit, and non-bank
products.
* FHLB and other short-term borrowings decreased from $812.2 million as of
March 31, 2006, prior to $526.0 million at March 31, 2007, a $286.2
million or 35.2% reduction. These borrowings as a percent of total
assets decreased to 13.0% from 18.7% at the end of the 2006 first
quarter. Likewise, total investment securities have dropped since the
2006 first quarter from $936.0 million to $743.1 million, a 20.6%
decrease, primarily due to the repositioning and sales from the
available-for-sale portfolio, as well as continued maturities and pay-
downs. In the current interest rate environment WesBanco has reduced its
overall wholesale leverage position, deciding instead to reduce FHLB
borrowings with the proceeds from sales and maturities and using the
available cash and improved tangible leverage capital position to
repurchase its common stock. The tangible equity leverage ratio
increased from 6.38% at March 31, 2006 to 6.88% at March 31, 2007.
* In the first quarter of 2007, WesBanco's dividend rate was increased
3.8% to $0.275 per share on a quarterly basis, up from the rate for the
previous quarter of $0.265 per share. During the quarter, Mergent, Inc. recognized WesBanco as one of its "Mergent's Dividend Achievers(R)" for
2007. As such, WesBanco is one of just 3% of all U.S. publicly listed
companies to meet Mergent's stringent criteria, including successfully
delivering dividend increases to shareholders for 10 or more years. WesBanco has increased dividends over the last 22 consecutive years.
* For the quarter ended March 31, 2007, WesBanco repurchased a total of
560,253 common shares at an average price of $31.55 per share. WesBanco
has 69,745 shares remaining for repurchase under the current repurchase
plan approved by the Board of Directors in January 2006, and 1,000,000
shares under a new plan approved in March 2007.

(1) March 2007 includes gain on sale of branch facility which was
replaced with a new facility whereas March 2006 includes gain on sale
of Ritchie County branches and associated operations.
(2) Restructuring costs are associated with a reduction in WesBanco's
workforce through layoffs.
(3) The yield on earning assets, net interest margin, net interest
spread and efficiency ratios are presented on a fully
taxable-equivalent (FTE) and annualized basis. The FTE basis adjusts
for the tax benefit of income on certain tax-exempt
loans and investments. WesBanco believes this measure to be the
preferred industry measurement of net interest income and
provides a relevant comparison between taxable and non-taxable
amounts.

WESBANCO, INC. Reconciliation Table - Non-GAAP Financial Information
(unaudited, dollars in thousands, except per share amounts) Note: This press release contains financial information other than that
provided by accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America ("GAAP"). The Company's management believes these
Non-GAAP measurements, which exclude the effects of merger-related
and restructuring expenses, are essential to a proper understanding
of the operating results of the Company's core business largely
because they allow investors to see clearly the performance of the
Company without the restructuring charges included in certain key
financial ratios. These Non-GAAP measurements are not a substitute
for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP nor do they
necessarily conform to Non-GAAP performance measures that may be
presented by other companies. These Non-GAAP measures should not be
compared to Non-GAAP performance measures of other companies.
