Material Changes vs. Prior Period
- Profitability Decline: Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, decreased to $22.71 million from $31.17 million in the same period of 2006. Diluted EPS fell from $1.36 to $0.96.
- Acquisition Impact: Total assets increased 15.9% year-over-year, driven primarily by the $669.3 million in assets acquired from FINA Bancorp. Loans and leases grew 18.5% to $3.20 billion.
- Expense Growth: Noninterest expense increased $10.07 million year-to-date compared to 2006, largely due to the acquisition integration and a core system conversion project.
- Provision Reversal to Charge: The company recorded a provision for loan losses of $4.28 million YTD 2007, compared to a recovery of $2.64 million in YTD 2006. Net charge-offs were $0.64 million YTD 2007 versus net recoveries of $2.94 million in 2006.
- Noninterest Income Drop: Noninterest income declined $4.44 million YTD, primarily due to a $7.43 million decrease in mortgage banking income. This was caused by lower production volumes and the absence of a $4.45 million gain from the bulk sale of mortgage servicing rights that occurred in 2006.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
- Capital Position: The company remains well-capitalized. Total capital ratio for 1st Source Corp. was 13.07% and Tier 1 capital ratio was 11.76%, both exceeding regulatory requirements for "Well Capitalized" status.
- Dividends: The company declared a cash dividend of $0.14 per share for the third quarter. The trailing four-quarter payout ratio was 42.42%.
- System Conversion Risk: Management noted the completion of a core operating system conversion in July 2007. While controls were maintained, there is a risk that the investment may not yield expected cost savings or could result in disruptions.
- Interest Rate Sensitivity: As of September 30, 2007, the balance sheet was rate-sensitive with $947.36 million more liabilities than assets scheduled to reprice within one year.
- Debt Issuance: The company issued $57 million in trust preferred securities during 2007 to fund the FINA acquisition and redeem older, higher-cost debt.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Acquisition Integration: Verify the progress of merging First National Bank, Valparaiso (FNBV) operations with 1st Source Bank, expected in early 2008.
- Mortgage Portfolio: Assess the sustainability of mortgage banking income given the significant drop in production volume and the one-time nature of 2006 gains.
- Asset Quality: Monitor the trend in nonperforming assets (up 16.6% from Sep 2006) and the adequacy of the loan loss reserve (2.02% of loans).
- Core System Costs: Track expenses related to the new core operating system to ensure they align with projected cost savings.
- Interest Rate Exposure: Evaluate the impact of the liability-sensitive gap on net interest margin if interest rates rise further.
