Material Changes vs. Prior Period
- Accounting Change Impact: The company adopted FASB Statement No. 142 effective January 1, 2002, ceasing the amortization of goodwill. This resulted in a $1.4 million increase in net income for the quarter compared to the prior year. Full-year 2002 net income is expected to increase by approximately $5.4 million due to this change.
- Asset Mix Shift: Total loans decreased 5.4% year-over-year, driven by a 23.1% decline in residential real estate loans due to sales and securitizations. Conversely, investment securities grew significantly, increasing 32.1% year-over-year.
- Asset Quality Improvement: Total under-performing assets decreased to $58.0 million (0.98% of total loans) from $85.5 million (1.39%) in the prior year. This reduction was primarily due to the removal of $25.8 million in restructured loans from the lodging industry and a decrease in loans past due 90 days or more.
- Deposit Growth: Total deposits increased 3.7% year-over-year, with growth in core deposits offsetting a $358.1 million decrease in brokered certificates of deposit.
- Noninterest Income: Excluding securities gains, noninterest income rose 14.9%, led by a $2.4 million increase in mortgage banking revenue and an 23.1% increase in insurance premiums.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
- Capital Position: The company maintains a strong capital position, with a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 6.71% and a total risk-based capital ratio of 13.35%, well above regulatory "Well-Capitalized" guidelines.
- Interest Rate Risk: Management notes that low market interest rates contributed to a projected cumulative net interest income sensitivity of -10.0% in a down 200 basis point parallel rate shock scenario. Management deems this acceptable given the current rate environment.
- Restructuring: A remaining restructuring charge accrual of $2.6 million exists related to the consolidation of ANB Corporation and regional administrative restructuring.
- Subsequent Event: Following the quarter end, the company issued $100 million of trust preferred securities through Old National Capital Trust II.
- Risks: Key risks include general economic conditions, increased competition, Federal Reserve actions, and changes in interest rates.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Accounting Adjustments: Verify the specific impact of FAS 142 on future earnings projections, as the cessation of goodwill amortization artificially boosts reported net income.
- Loan Portfolio Composition: Confirm the sustainability of the shift from residential real estate loans to investment securities and the associated yield implications.
- Asset Quality Trends: Monitor the stability of the reduction in under-performing assets, specifically regarding the restructured loans removed from the portfolio.
- Interest Rate Sensitivity: Review the company's hedging strategies (e.g., $374 million in interest rate swaps) to mitigate the identified -10.0% sensitivity in a falling rate environment.
- Brokered Deposits: Assess the long-term cost and stability of replacing brokered certificates of deposit with core deposits.
