WesBanco Announces Results for the Second Quarter and Six Months of 2008

WHEELING, W.Va., July 23 /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 second quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2008.

Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 was $11.3 million while diluted earnings per share were $0.42, as compared to $9.5 million or $0.36 per share for the first quarter of 2008. Earnings per share for 2008 included the full effect of the issuance of additional shares of stock for the purchase of Oak Hill Financial, Inc. ("Oak Hill"). The increase in net income over the first quarter was primarily due to improvement in the net interest margin, increasing to 3.75% from 3.48% in the first quarter, resulting primarily from a decline in the cost of funds. The margin increase provided a $2.1 million increase in net interest income in the 2008 second quarter as compared to the first quarter. The quarter also benefited from a decrease in non-interest expenses from the first quarter of 2.6%, excluding merger related expenses, due to additional operating efficiencies resulting from the merger and continued integration of the former Oak Hill Banks.

Net income decreased 8.2% during the second quarter of 2008, as compared to the second quarter of 2007; however, income before provision for income taxes decreased only 1.7%. A tax provision adjustment relating to previous years' deferred taxes was recorded in the second quarter of 2007. Offsetting factors to the decrease in income before income taxes were a 39.5% improvement in net interest income from the larger balance sheet due to the acquisition of Oak Hill, an increase in the net interest margin, and a $3.9 million or 222.2% increase in the provision for credit losses. The margin improvements were due primarily to a decline in the cost of funds, while the increase in the provision for credit losses was primarily the result of general economic conditions. The decrease in diluted earnings per share to $0.42 in the second quarter of 2008 as compared to $0.59 per share in the 2007 second quarter, was also impacted by the additional shares issued for the acquisition of Oak Hill.

For the six month period, net income was $20.8 million or $0.78 per share in 2008, while for the same 2007 period, net income was $24.2 million or $1.15 per share. The net interest margin was 3.67% in the first half of 2008 as compared to 3.52% in the same 2007 period. The margin increase and the increase in the balance sheet provided a 34.0% increase in net interest income. These increases were somewhat offset by a higher provision for loan losses, which increased $7.9 million for the 2008 six month period, compared to the prior year period.

"The net interest margin has grown in each of the last three quarters at an accelerating rate, as the cost of liabilities continues to decline due to the improved interest rate environment," said Mr. Limbert. "Total non-interest income has also increased primarily from a change in deposit demographics which led to improvements in service charges and other fee businesses. However, the challenging economic environment for the banking industry continues, which significantly affected our loan loss provision year-to-date."

"A number of merger-related integration efforts were completed in the second quarter. In April, five former Oak Hill branches were sold, the former Oak Hill Banks was merged into WesBanco Bank and all data processing systems were converted to WesBanco's systems. In June, two additional branches located in Ohio were closed. These accomplishments have standardized products and delivery systems for our customers' benefit and improved efficiencies, reducing non-interest expenses by 2.6%, excluding merger related expenses, in the second quarter compared to the first quarter of 2008. We will continue through 2008 to integrate the Oak Hill operations into WesBanco to further realize the benefits of this acquisition. WesBanco remains on track to realize its previously announced cost saving targets."

Highlights for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2008 include the following:

-- Net interest income increased $2.1 million or 5.5% over the first quarter due to improvement in the net interest margin, which increased to 3.75% from 3.48% in the first quarter. The twenty-seven basis point increase in the net interest margin was primarily due to a forty-eight basis point decline in the cost of interest bearing liabilities. This decrease in interest expense resulted from the effect on WesBanco's liability sensitive balance sheet of declining interest rates over the previous twelve months. The margin has also benefited from higher average non-interest bearing deposit balances. Year-to-date, net interest income increased 34.0% due to an increase in average earning assets of 25.4% resulting from the acquisition of Oak Hill and a fifteen basis point increase in the net interest margin to 3.67%. Net interest income for the second quarter of 2008 increased 39.5% compared to the 2007 second quarter, due to the higher average balance sheet and an increase in the net interest margin to 3.75% from 3.46%.

-- In the second quarter non-interest income decreased $0.2 million compared to the 2008 first quarter, due to a decrease in other income of $0.8 million, primarily from a gain recorded in the first quarter of $0.4 million from the mandatory redemption of VISA class B stock, and other smaller decreases, partially offset by an increase in service charges on deposits of $0.9 million. Non-interest income for the first six months of 2008 increased $3.3 million compared to the same period of 2007 primarily resulting from increases in service charges on deposits and improved revenue from electronic banking fees, insurance and securities brokerage operations. In the 2008 second quarter, non-interest income increased by $1.4 million as compared to the second quarter of 2007 primarily due to increases in service charges on deposits. Other income decreased by $1.0 million due to gains in the 2007 quarter of $0.9 million on a bank owned life insurance contract and $0.9 million on the early extinguishment of debt.

-- The provision for credit losses in the second quarter of 2008 increased $0.3 million compared to the first quarter of 2008. For the six months ended June 30, 2008 the provision increased $7.9 million as compared to the same 2007 period. This additional provision is a reflection of changing economic conditions adversely impacting our market areas which have caused charge-offs and non-performing loans to increase. For the 2008 second quarter, net charge-offs were 0.45% as compared to 0.39% in the 2008 first quarter and 0.19% in the 2007 second quarter. Net charge offs were $4.1 million in the second quarter of 2008. Non-performing loans as a percent of total loans were 0.82% for the 2008 second quarter, 0.72% for the first quarter of 2008 and 0.34% for the second quarter of 2007. The increase in non-performing loans from the first quarter of 2008 was primarily the result of a single commercial real estate loan of $2.2 million being placed on non-accrual during the second quarter. Loans past due 90 days or more and accruing interest were 0.42% for the 2008 second quarter, 0.38% for the first quarter of 2008 and 0.28% for the second quarter of 2007. Delinquencies on loans past due 30 to 89 days were 1.34% for the 2008 second quarter, 1.66% for the first quarter of 2008 and 1.15% for the second quarter of 2007. Credit deterioration is due to general economic conditions primarily in our metropolitan markets. As a result of the year-to-date provision exceeding net charge offs by $1.7 million, the allowance for loan losses as a percent of total loans increased from 1.04% as of December 31, 2007 to 1.15% at June 30, 2008. In addition, at June 30, 2008, $7.5 million of impaired loans acquired from Oak Hill are carried net of an SOP-03-3 credit valuation adjustment of $2.7 million.

-- Non-interest expense for the 2008 second quarter decreased 0.8%, or 2.6% excluding merger related expenses, compared to the first quarter of 2008 due to Oak Hill integration efforts. The bank charters were merged, the data processing systems were converted and the sale of five branches was completed in April. Two additional branches were closed on June 30. The primary benefit of these integration efforts are expected be realized beginning in the third and fourth quarters. For the first half of 2008 expenses increased $19.4 million, or $16.7 million excluding merger related expenses. These increases were primarily in salaries, benefits, facilities and other normal operating costs and were consistent with the 32.2% increase in assets from June 30, 2007 to June 30, 2008, and the costs of operating two separate bank charters through April of 2008. Occupancy and equipment costs were also affected by two new branch facilities opened in 2007 and recent technology and other equipment upgrades. Non-interest expense in the second quarter of 2008 increased $9.2 million or 34.3%, due primarily to the Oak Hill acquisition, or 28.1%, excluding merger related expenses as compared to the second quarter of 2007. Merger-related expenses, all of which related to Oak Hill, charged to operations in 2008 were $1.7 million in the second quarter and $2.7 million in the year-to-date period.

-- The provision for income taxes decreased $0.4 million in the first half of 2008 compared to the same 2007 period due to a decrease in pre-tax income, partially offset by an increase in the effective tax rate. For 2008 the effective tax rate increased to 18.2% as compared to 17.2% in the first half of 2007 due primarily to a $1.6 million correction of deferred taxes in the second quarter of 2007. The effective tax rate was impacted in 2008 by a higher percentage of tax-exempt income to total income and the benefit of certain tax credits including New Market Tax Credits awarded to WesBanco Bank.

-- Total loans at June 30, 2008 decreased 1.7% compared to March 31, 2008 primarily due to the sale of five branches and reduced loan demand. However, a continued focus on maintaining appropriate interest margins on new loans, continuing efforts to maintain or improve credit quality, the Bank's strategy of reducing existing residential mortgage loans and selling most new residential mortgage loan originations also affected outstanding loan balances during the second quarter.

-- Total deposits at June 30, 2008 decreased 4.8% compared to March 31, 2008. The decrease was primarily in certificates of deposits and money market accounts as WesBanco attempted to aggressively reduce its cost of funds as market rates were falling. In addition, 35.1% of the decrease was due to the sale of the five branches.

-- At June 30, 2008, FHLB borrowings increased 14.5% from March 31, 2008. The average cost of these borrowings in the second quarter of 2008 was 2.76%, a 145 basis point decline from the average cost for the first quarter of 2008 and only eight basis points above the average cost of total interest bearing deposits in the 2008 second quarter. The Company has carefully managed deposit rates, particularly in markets where larger banks are aggressively pursuing higher cost CD's and MMDA's, and used more reasonably priced borrowings as part of its strategy to control the net interest margin.

-- Tangible equity to tangible assets increased from 5.96% at December 31, 2008 to 6.29% at the end of the first half of 2008. No shares were repurchased during the first six months of 2008. A total of 584,325 shares remain under the current board-approved repurchase authorization.

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.
