WesBanco Announces Results for the Nine Months and Third Quarter of 2007

WHEELING, W.Va., Oct. 17 /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 earnings for the nine months and third quarter ended September 30, 2007.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2007 diluted earnings per share were $1.62 versus last year's $1.30, an increase of 24.6%, on net income of $34.0 million as compared to $28.4 million in the 2006 period. Return on average assets increased to 1.14% from 0.91% in 2006 and return on average equity increased to 11.12% from 9.11%. Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 was $9.8 million, compared to $11.6 million for the third quarter of 2006, while diluted earnings per share for the quarter were $0.47 per share compared to $0.53 per share for 2006. Third quarter 2007 results reflected lower net interest income primarily due to a flat to inverted yield curve, partially offset by a reduced loan loss provision.

"Although the third quarter results reflect the difficult interest rate and competitive operating environment, our loan portfolio continues to perform better than our expectations for the year, leading to lower loan loss provisions compared to year ago levels and lower average non-performing assets, said Mr. Limbert. "Non-interest income also continues to grow through improvements in the trust, securities, insurance and mortgage businesses, and increased service charge activity from revenue enhancement programs and marketing campaigns."

"In September we opened a new, state-of-the art banking center in the Highlands/Cabela's retail shopping destination development between Wheeling, West Virginia and Washington, Pennsylvania." said Mr. Limbert. "This new facility will serve to enhance WesBanco's presence in our core Wheeling market and further improve customer service. In addition, our branch optimization program, which continuously evaluates the profitability of our retail service delivery system, resulted in the closing of a small branch in the Cincinnati market."

Highlights for the third quarter and nine months year-to-date include the following:

-- Net interest income for the third quarter decreased $2.3 million or 7.7% compared to the third quarter of 2006. The net interest margin declined to 3.38% in the third quarter from 3.56% in the 2006 third quarter and 3.46% in the second quarter of 2007. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, net interest income declined by 5.4%. These decreases were the result of the flat and inverted yield curve environment over much of the last eighteen months experienced by the banking industry, and, to a lesser degree, a lower balance sheet size primarily as a result of the prior year's intentional repositioning, which reduced investments and borrowings, and reductions in fixed rate mortgage loan portfolios. The shape of the yield curve has pressured margins, primarily through increased costs of deposits resulting from significant rate-based competition, especially in urban markets. These costs have been somewhat offset by loan yield increases and higher average non-interest bearing deposit balances.

-- The increase in non-interest income for the third quarter of 6.3% was due to increases in trust fees, deposit activity fees, and improved insurance and securities brokerage revenues. For the year-to-date period the increase of $9.6 million was due primarily to the prior year's recognized impairment loss of $8.0 million on the investment portfolio restructuring. Also last year, WesBanco recognized $2.6 million in net gains on the sale of four branches in Ritchie County.

For the nine month period of 2007 a deferred gain on the sale of a former branch facility of $1.0 million and the net proceeds from a bank-owned life insurance claim of $0.9 million were recorded.

Contributing to the increase in year-to-date non-interest income were increases in trust fees of $0.9 million, service charges on deposits of $0.6 million, improved securities brokerage revenues, higher mortgage banking income from sales to the secondary market and $0.7 million in security sale gains in 2007.

-- The provision for credit losses decreased $0.8 million in the third quarter of 2007 as compared to third quarter 2006 primarily due to lower year-to-date net charge-offs and average non-performing loans.

However, management has increased its estimates of future credit losses due to higher levels of criticized loans and regional economic conditions impacting the consumer, residential real estate and home equity portfolios, resulting in the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans increasing to 1.13% at September 30, 2007, from 1.08% at the end of the third quarter of 2006. Although WesBanco does not have any material direct exposure to sub-prime loans, the problems associated with sub-prime lending are having an adverse impact on markets where WesBanco has exposure. Net charge-offs to average loans increased to 0.25% for the quarter as compared to 0.16% for the third quarter of 2006, however, year-to-date net charge-offs were 0.23% as compared to 0.30% for last year. Year-to-date, the total provision decreased 34.7% to $4.7 million from $7.2 million.

-- Non-interest expense increased 6.7% for the third quarter as compared to the prior year due to higher salaries, benefits, net occupancy, professional fees and marketing expenses and a $0.4 million charge for the settlement of litigation. Full-time equivalent employees were 1,177 at September 30, 2007 as compared to 1,191 at September 30, 2006.

Year-to-date, total expenses increased $1.3 million primarily due to the higher salaries and benefits and the litigation settlement, somewhat offset by lower marketing and communication expenses. The decrease in marketing expenses year-to-date was due to higher customer incentive expense related to last year's marketing campaigns as compared to the current campaign's related expense.

-- The provision for income taxes in the third quarter of 2007 decreased $0.7 million compared to the third quarter of 2006 due primarily to lower income and favorable adjustments related to recently filed tax returns. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the tax provision increased $0.2 million due to higher income and, excluding the tax adjustments, a higher effective tax rate of 22.1% as compared to 19.2% in the 2006 period, due primarily to higher taxable income and a lower percentage of tax-exempt income to total income. These increases were partially offset by a $1.6 million credit resulting from the second quarter 2007 correction of prior period amounts related to the accumulation of deferred taxes on a small portion of the municipal bond investment portfolio. The tax adjustments in the second and third quarters of 2007 reduced the year-to-date effective tax rate to 16.9% from 19.7% in the 2006 period.

-- Total loans at September 30, 2007 decreased $122.4 million or 4.2% compared to September 30, 2006 and decreased 3.9% compared to December 31, 2006 due to the Bank's strategy of selling most new residential mortgages to the secondary market, accelerated payoffs of commercial real estate loans, and a focus on obtaining appropriate interest rate spreads on new loans in a very competitive lending environment.

-- Total deposits declined 2.0% over last year and 1.2% from year end primarily due to reductions in savings deposits partially offset by increases in money market account balances. As a result of the current interest rate environment, customers are favoring shorter-term, higher- yielding CD's and money market accounts, while new checking account campaigns have improved the number of demand deposit accounts. WesBanco continues to focus on management strategies to control deposit costs in the current competitive rate environment, which has limited deposit growth.

-- FHLB and other short-term borrowings decreased to $460.0 million as of September 30, 2007, from $561.5 million at December 31, 2006, a $101.5 million or 18.1% reduction. Borrowings were $812.2 million before the restructuring at the end of last year's first quarter. These borrowings as a percent of total assets decreased to 11.6% from 13.7% at the end of the 2006.

-- For the quarter ended September 30, 2007, WesBanco repurchased a total of 132,000 common shares at an average price of $25.04 per share.

Year-to-date shares repurchased totaled 893,398 at $30.48 per share.

WesBanco has 736,600 shares remaining for repurchase under the current repurchase plan approved by the Board of Directors in March, 2007. In spite of the number of shares repurchased, the decreased balance sheet size has improved capital ratios over the past eighteen months with tangible equity improving to 6.93% at September 30, 2007.

WesBanco is a multi-state bank holding company with total assets of approximately $4.0 billion, operating through 78 banking offices, one loan production office, and 111 ATMs in West Virginia, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. WesBanco's banking subsidiary is WesBanco Bank, Inc., headquartered in Wheeling, West Virginia.

(1) 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.
