Indiana Community Bancorp Announces Second Quarter Earnings


COLUMBUS, Ind., July 27, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Indiana Community Bancorp (the "Company") (Nasdaq:INCB), the holding company of Indiana Bank and Trust Company of Columbus, Indiana (the "Bank"), today announced net income for the second quarter of $1.7 million or $0.41 diluted earnings per common share compared to a net loss of $2.8 million or $(0.93) diluted loss per common share a year earlier. Year-to-date net income was $2.1 million or $0.45 diluted earnings per common share compared to a net loss of $2.4 million or $(0.89) diluted loss per common share a year earlier. The quarter over quarter increase in net income was primarily driven by an increase in net interest income of $456,000 and a reduction in the provision for loan losses of $599,000. Total loans increased $9.2 million for the quarter and $13.3 million year-to-date while total deposits increased $19.2 million for the quarter and $35.4 million year-to-date. Chairman and CEO John Keach, Jr. stated, "We are pleased with the solid earnings for the quarter combined with growth in commercial loans and retail deposits." Executive Vice President and CFO Mark Gorski added, "The improvement in net interest margin has been the catalyst in driving increased net interest income. The balance sheet repositioning we completed in December, 2009 and January, 2010 has resulted in a $760,000 increase in quarterly net interest income since year end."

Balance Sheet

Total assets were $1.1 billion as of June 30, 2010, an increase of $50.5 million from December 31, 2009. Total loans increased $9.2 million for the quarter and $13.3 million year-to-date. Commercial and commercial mortgage loans increased $10.1 million for the quarter and $20.4 million year-to-date. Residential mortgage loans and consumer loans decreased $862,000 for the quarter and $7.1 million year-to-date. Commercial loan growth was consistent during the first and second quarters resulting from adding a few new commercial relationships each quarter coupled with providing funding for existing customers.

Total retail deposits increased $19.2 million for the quarter and $35.4 million year-to-date. The growth in retail deposits is being driven primarily from growth in the interest bearing checking and money market categories which increased $32.4 million for the quarter and $41.7 million year-to-date. These increases were offset by a reduction in higher cost certificates of deposit which decreased $8.6 million for the quarter and $5.5 million year-to-date. The Bank is still benefiting from the favorable environment for bank deposits.

Asset Quality

Provision for loan losses totaled $1.5 million for the quarter and $3.6 million year-to-date which represent significant decreases from comparable periods in 2009. Net charge offs were $1.8 million for the quarter and $2.4 million year-to-date. Although charge offs increased in the second quarter of 2010 compared to the first quarter, $1.2 million of charge offs for the second quarter were related to two condominium loans that had established specific reserves from previous quarters. As a result, the allowance for loan losses decreased by $256,000 for the second quarter to $14.3 million at June 30, 2010. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans increased to 1.91% at June 30, 2010 compared to 1.78% at December 31, 2009. Total non-performing assets increased $1.6 million for the second quarter and $148,000 year-to-date to $34.6 million at June 30, 2010. Non-performing assets to total assets was 3.26% at June 30, 2010. In addition, the Bank received a signed letter of intent for the purchase of its largest other real estate owned property. Management expects the sale to close in the fourth quarter of 2010 and the Bank does not anticipate financing the transaction, although there can be no guarantee that the transaction will close on such terms.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income increased $1.2 million or 17.8% to $7.9 million for the quarter and $1.7 million or 12.2% to $15.3 million year-to-date. The increase in net interest income was primarily attributable to significant improvement in the net interest margin. Net interest margin for the quarter was 3.28%, which represented an increase of 3 basis points on a linked quarter basis and an increase of 40 basis points compared to the fourth quarter of 2009. The increase in the net interest margin was primarily due to the Company's balance sheet repositioning which was executed in December 2009 and January 2010. The prepayment and restructuring of the FHLB advances aided in reducing the Company's overall cost of interest-bearing liabilities. Additionally, the net interest margin was aided by a decrease in deposit costs which have been driven down during the year due to overall market conditions and high levels of liquidity in the banking system.

Non Interest Income

Non interest income increased $196,000 for the quarter and decreased $684,000 year-to-date. Gain on sale of loans decreased $245,000 for the quarter and $950,000 year-to-date due to a significant decrease in origination volumes. A significant reduction in interest rates that began late in 2008 resulted in increased mortgage refinance activity and origination volumes during the majority of 2009. Miscellaneous income increased $344,000 for the quarter and $212,000 year-to-date. The majority of the miscellaneous income increase was due to fee income from trust and investment management, which increased $183,000 for the quarter and $343,000 year-to-date due to an increase in assets under management that resulted from the hiring of an investment consultant during the second quarter of 2009. In addition, 2010 year-to-date miscellaneous income included a net loss on the writedown of other real estate of $361,000. During the first quarter of 2010, the Company wrote down the carrying value of its largest other real estate owned property by $400,000 based on negotiations related to the sale of the property.   

Non Interest Expenses

Non interest expenses decreased $557,000 to $6.9 million for the quarter and $682,000 to $14.0 million year-to-date. Compensation and employee benefits expense remained at levels consistent with the prior year for both the second quarter and year-to-date. FDIC insurance expense decreased $247,000 for the quarter due to the $475,000 special assessment which occurred in the second quarter of 2009. Miscellaneous expense decreased $155,000 for the quarter and $447,000 year-to-date due primarily to a decrease in problem loan workout related costs.
