Summit Financial Group Reports Earnings for Year and Fourth Quarter 2006


MOOREFIELD, W.Va., Jan. 25, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Summit Financial Group, Inc. (Nasdaq:SMMF) today reported the results of its consolidated operations and its continuing operations which excludes from income substantially all business activities of Summit Mortgage, its residential mortgage loan origination unit, following the Company's announcement on November 17, 2006 of its intent either to sell or terminate that business:



 * Consolidated net income for 2006 was $8.3 million, or $1.15 per
   diluted share, compared with $11.2 million, or $1.56 per diluted
   share, reported for 2005.

 * Income from continuing operations was $11.1 million, or $1.54 per
   diluted share, an increase of 27.0 percent and 27.3 percent,
   respectively, compared with $8.7 million, or $1.21 per diluted
   share, reported for 2005.

 * A one-time after-tax charge of $1.6 million ($0.23 per diluted
   share) related to the termination of Summit Mortgage's business was
   recognized in fourth quarter 2006 and is included as a component of
   discontinued operations to record the write down of furniture,
   equipment and leasehold improvements to fair value and to record
   certain exit costs primarily related to severance benefits and the
   termination of operating lease obligations.

Fiscal year 2005 results include a $1.5 million pre-tax other-than-temporary non-cash impairment charge, equivalent to $940,000 on an after-tax basis, or $0.13 per diluted share. This impairment charge related to $5.7 million of certain preferred stock issuances of the Federal National Mortgage Association and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation which Summit continues to own.

The returns on average shareholders' equity and average assets from continuing operations were 14.00 percent and 0.94 percent, respectively, compared with prior year ratios of 12.31 percent and 0.90 percent. Results reflect strong loan growth from community banking year over year, but has recently begun to moderate, offset by net interest margin pressures and a higher loan loss provision.



 * For the fourth quarter of 2006, Summit reported net income of
   $181,000, or $0.03 per diluted share, compared with $2.4 million, or
   $.34 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2005.

 * Income from continuing operations was $2.7 million, or $0.39 per
   diluted share, up 42.3 percent and 44.4 percent, respectively,
   compared with $1.9 million, or $0.27 per diluted share for the
   prior-year quarter.

Fourth quarter 2005 results include the above-mentioned non-cash impairment charge of $940,000, or $0.13 per diluted share. Returns on average shareholders' equity and average assets from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of 2006 were 13.24 percent and 0.89 percent, respectively, compared with 2005 fourth quarter ratios of 10.30 percent and 0.72 percent.

H. Charles Maddy, III, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "2006 was a difficult year for Summit as we came to terms with a difficult business model in an unforgiving economy. Although we had recognized that Summit Mortgage was not performing up to expectations, we were hopeful that conditions would permit more time to realign these activities. Ultimately, however the continuing uncertainty for performance improvement dictated that it was in the best interest of our shareholders to exit the mortgage business, which we have done.

"Our community banking markets, by comparison, have demonstrated exceptional resilience to economic conditions. Loan growth over the past twelve months has been a very satisfactory 15.5 percent - more moderate than in the past, but sufficiently strong to support top-line growth -- as we have done successfully every quarter this past year, despite margin compression. We continue to see excellent opportunities within our markets. Our recent decision to exit mortgage banking will allow us to focus our resources and capital on these community banking opportunities."

SUMMARY OF RESULTS FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS

Total revenue for 2006, consisting of net interest income plus non-interest income, was $39.5 million, an increase of 21.1 percent compared to the $32.7 million reported for 2005. Excluding the $1.5 million impairment charge included in 2005 results, total revenue increased 15.8 percent. Net interest income grew 17.1 percent above the prior year, to $35.3 million, reflecting 22.6 percent growth in average earning assets, partially offset by a 19 basis point decline in the net interest margin to 3.32 percent. Non-interest income for 2006, was $4.3 million compared with $2.5 million for the prior year; excluding the non-cash impairment charge incurred in 2005, non-interest income increased 6.2 percent, from $4.0 million in the prior year to $4.3 million. The increase reflected solid growth in insurance commissions and service fees.

For the fourth quarter of 2006, total revenue was $10.3 million compared with $7.5 million for the year-earlier quarter; excluding the $1.5 million impairment charge included in fourth quarter 2005 results, total revenue increased 14.3 percent. Net interest income was $9.2 million compared with $8.1 million in the prior-year quarter, an increase of 13.9 percent. The increase reflected 17.3 percent growth in average earning assets, partially offset by a 14 basis point decline in the net interest margin to 3.25 percent. Non-interest income, excluding the fourth quarter 2005 impairment charge, increased 17.7 percent, from $928,000 in the prior-year quarter to $1.1 million for the current period.

Non-interest expense for 2006 was $21.6 million compared with $19.3 million for the prior year, an increase of 12.2 percent. The efficiency ratio (of continuing operations) was 51.51 percent compared with 52.85 percent for 2005. Non-interest expense has remained relatively flat over the past four quarters. For the fourth quarter of 2006, non-interest expense was $5.3 compared with $4.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2005, an increase of 7.9 percent. The efficiency ratio was 48.85 percent for the fourth quarter of 2006 compared with 50.73 percent for the prior-year quarter, and 49.38 percent for the linked quarter.

Asset quality remains sound overall; however, nonperforming loans showed a $3.9 million increase this quarter, which resulted primarily from the loans of a single customer relationship. Summit is well-collateralized with regard to this credit, and adequate reserves have already been taken. At present, we do not anticipate any significant further deterioration in asset quality in the near term. Nonperforming assets were $5.4 million or 0.43 percent of assets at December 31, 2006, compared with $1.7 million, or 0.15 percent, 12 months ago. Net charge-offs for 2006 were $445,000, equivalent to 0.05 percent of average loans, compared with $257,000 and 0.04 percent of loans for the preceding year. At period-end, loan loss reserves were 0.81 percent of loans.

Assets at December 31, 2006 were $1.23 billion, an increase of $125.3 million, or 11.3 percent over the last twelve months. Loans, net of unearned income, were $923.6 million at December 31, 2006, up $124.0 million or 15.5 percent year-over-year. Commercial real estate and construction/development were the largest contributors to growth, up $48.0 million (18.0 percent) and $74.6 million (52.8 percent), respectively, since December 31, 2005. Together, these two categories comprised 57.3 percent of the loan portfolio, with residential mortgages accounting for an additional 30.5 percent.

Deposits at December 31, 2006 were $888.7 million, an increase of $214.8 million, or 31.9 percent above prior year-end levels. Nearly $609 million of these deposits are derived from retail accounts, particularly interest bearing checking accounts, which grew $19.5 million or 9.7 percent from year-ago levels. Brokered deposits increased $150.8 million, or 117.1 percent, compared to the prior year.

Shareholders' equity at December 31, 2006 was $79.9 million, an increase of 8.2 percent over the last twelve months. Common shares outstanding totaled 7,089,680 at year-end. In August 2006, we announced a plan to repurchase up to 225,000 share of our common stock, and accordingly, during the fourth quarter we repurchased 21,500 shares under this plan.
