Mr. Bentley continued, "Our expansion into the Albany region has given us an excellent opportunity for loan and deposit growth. We believe we have seized upon this opportunity in the past year by experiencing strong growth in our Albany region lending portfolios."

Summary:

Chemung Financial Corporation reported net income of $8.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, an increase of $1.3 million, or 17.4%, compared with $7.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The improvement was attributable to an increase of $3.3 million in net interest income, partially offset by increases of $0.9 million in non-interest expense and $0.8 million in income taxes, and a reduction of $0.3 million in non-interest income. Earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, was $1.92 compared with $1.76 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  Return on average assets and return on average equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, were 0.95% and 9.12%, respectively, compared with 0.88% and 8.66%, respectively, for the same period in the prior year.

Year-to-date earnings improved significantly due primarily to an increase in net interest income and a $2.2 million decrease in pre-tax one-time merger transaction costs, both related to the Capital Bank acquisition in April 2011.  In addition, we recognized $0.8 million in pre-tax casualty gains from insurance reimbursements related to the September 2011 flooding of our Owego and Tioga offices.

Net income for the third quarter 2012 was $2.8 million compared with third quarter 2011 results of $3.3 million, a decrease of $0.5 million or 13.9%. The decline was attributable to an increase of $0.8 million in non-interest expense and a reduction of $0.4 million in net gain on securities transactions. These items were partially offset by reductions of $0.4 million in the provision for loan losses and $0.3 million in income taxes. Earnings per share for the current quarter totaled $0.61 compared with $0.71 for the same period in the prior year. Return on average assets and return on average equity for the current quarter were 0.89% and 8.53%, respectively, compared with 1.05% and 10.18%, respectively, for the third quarter of 2011.

Net income of $2.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2012, represents an increase of $0.4 million, or 16.0%, from net income of $2.4 million for the preceding quarter ended June 30, 2012. The increase in net income was primarily due to an increase of $0.4 million in net interest income and a reduction of $0.5 million in non-interest expense. These items were partially offset by increases of $0.2 million in the provision for loan losses and $0.3 million in income taxes. Earnings per share for the current quarter totaled $0.61 compared with $0.53 for the preceding quarter. Return on average assets and return on average equity for the current quarter were 0.89% and 8.53%, respectively, compared with 0.78% and 7.55%, respectively, for the preceding quarter.

Net Interest Income:

Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, totaled $35.2 million compared with $31.8 million for the same period in the prior year, an increase of $3.3 million, or 10.4%. Net interest margin increased to 4.10% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, from 4.02% for the same period in the prior year. The increase in net interest margin was primarily due to the cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreasing at a faster rate than the yield on interest-earning assets and an increase in average earning assets.   The increase in average earning assets was principally the result of the Capital Bank acquisition in April 2011.

Net interest income for the third quarter of 2012 was $11.8 million, level with the same quarter in the prior year.  Net interest margin declined to 4.04% for the current quarter from 4.11% for the same quarter in the prior year. The decline in net interest margin was primarily due to yields on interest-earning assets decreasing at a faster rate than the cost of interest-bearing liabilities. The decrease in yield on interest-earning assets was attributable to lower loan yields as loans continue to reprice at current market rates. 

Compared with the preceding quarter ended June 30, 2012, net interest income increased by $0.4 million, primarily due to a 7 basis point increase in the net interest margin. The improvement in the net interest margin was due to a 7 basis point decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities and a slight increase in average earning assets.

Non-Interest Income:

Non-interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, was $13.1 million compared with $13.4 million for the same period in the prior year, a decrease of $0.3 million, or 2.5%. The decline was primarily due to decreases of $0.8 million in net gain on securities transactions and $0.5 million in revenue from our equity investment in Cephas Capital Partners, L.P. These items were partially offset by $0.8 million in casualty gains from insurance reimbursements related to the September 2011 flooding of our Owego and Tioga offices and an increase in net gain on sale of loans held for sale.

Non-interest income for the third quarter of 2012 was $4.1 million, level with the preceding quarter and down $0.3 million compared with the same quarter in the prior year. The decrease from the year-ago quarter was primarily due to a decrease of $0.4 million in net gain on securities transactions.

Non-Interest Expense:

Non-interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, was $34.2 million compared with $33.3 million for the same period in the prior year, an increase of $0.9 million, or 2.8%.  Excluding $2.2 million in merger related expenses from the prior year, non-interest expense increased $3.2 million, or 10.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. This increase was primarily due to increases of $1.2 million in salaries and wages, $0.8 million in pension and other employee benefits, $0.4 million in data processing expenses and $0.2 million in other real estate owned expenses. The increase in salaries and wages was primarily due to the operation of the Capital Bank division for nine months during 2012 compared with six months during 2011, and additional compensation related to merit increases and incentive compensation. The increase in pension and other employee benefits was primarily due to higher pension costs, health benefits and payroll taxes. The increase in data processing expenses was primarily due to higher hardware and software maintenance fees and check card processing costs that included conversion costs for a new processor.

Non-interest expense for the third quarter of 2012 was $11.4 million compared with $10.6 million for the same quarter in the prior year, an increase of $0.8 million, or 7.3%. The increase was primarily due to increases of $0.4 million in salaries and wages, $0.2 million in pension and other employee benefits and $0.1 million in other real estate owned expenses. The increase in salaries and wages was primarily due to an increase in employees in the Capital Bank region of our New York franchise, and additional compensation related to merit increases and incentive compensation. The increase in pension and other employee benefits was primarily due to higher pension costs and health benefits. The increase in other real estate owned expense was due to the write-down of a commercial property. Compared with the preceding quarter ended June 30, 2012, non-interest expense decreased $0.5 million, or 4.1%. The decrease was primarily due to lower data processing expenses.

Asset Quality:

Non-performing loans totaled $13.3 million at September 30, 2012, or 1.51% of total loans, down $7.6 million from $20.9 million, or 2.62%, at December 31, 2011. Non-performing assets which are comprised of non-performing loans and other real estate owned, totaled $14.2 million at September 30, 2012, or 1.10% of total assets, down $7.6 million from $21.8 million, or 1.79%, at December 31, 2011. Excluding $4.6 million in accruing loans that are 90 days or more past their stated maturity dates, the non-performing assets to total assets ratio was 0.75%.

Management performs an ongoing assessment of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses based upon a number of factors including an analysis of historical loss factors, collateral evaluations, recent charge-off experience, credit quality of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions and loan growth. Based on this analysis, the provision for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, was $0.8 million, level with the prior year. Net recoveries for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, were $0.3 million compared with net charge-offs of $0.7 million for the same period in the prior year.

For the third quarter of 2012, the provision for loan losses was $0.2 million compared with $0.1 million for the preceding quarter and $0.6 million for the same quarter in the prior year. Net recoveries for the current quarter were $0.2 million compared with net recoveries of $0.1 million for the preceding quarter and net charge-offs of $0.7 million for the same quarter in the prior year.

At September 30, 2012, the allowance for loan losses was $10.8 million compared with $10.4 million at June 30, 2012, and $9.7 million at December 31, 2011.  The allowance for loan losses was 81.66% of non-performing loans at September 30, 2012, compared with 69.24% at June 30, 2012, and 46.18% at December 31, 2011. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.24% at September 30, 2012, compared with 1.21% at June 30, 2012, and December 31, 2011. Excluding acquired loans, the ratio of the allowance for loan losses on Legacy loans to Legacy loans was 1.38% at September 30, 2012, level with June 30, 2012, and down from 1.47% at December 31, 2011.

Balance Sheet Activity:

Assets totaled $1.287 billion at September 30, 2012, compared with $1.216 billion at December 31, 2011, an increase of $70.7 million, or 5.8%. The growth was primarily due to increases of $79.4 million, or 10.0%, in total portfolio loans and $28.3 million in cash and cash equivalents, partially offset by a decrease of $30.1 million in investment securities. The increase in portfolio loans was due to strong growth of $37.7 million in commercial loans and $42.3 million in consumer loans.

Deposits totaled $1.083 billion at September 30, 2012, compared with $998.5 million at December 31, 2011, an increase of $84.7 million, or 8.5%. The growth was primarily due to increases of $70.7 million in money market accounts, $43.7 million in non-interest-bearing demand deposits and $34.6 million in NOW accounts. These items were partially offset by decreases of $36.2 million in savings accounts and $28.0 million in certificates of deposit.

Total equity was $132.9 million at September 30, 2012, compared with $125.9 million at December 31, 2011. The total equity to total assets ratio was 10.32% at September 30, 2012, a slight decrease from 10.35% at December 31, 2011. The tangible equity to tangible assets ratio was 8.39% at September 31, 2012, up from 8.23% at December 31, 2011. As of September 30, 2012, both the Corporation's and the Bank's capital ratios were in excess of those required to be considered well-capitalized under regulatory capital standards.

GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations (Unaudited)

The table below shows computations of tangible equity and tangible assets and certain related ratios, all of which are considered to be non-GAAP financial measures. The tangible equity to tangible assets ratio has become a focus of some investors and management believes this ratio may assist in analyzing the Corporation's capital position, absent the effects of intangible assets. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of results reported under GAAP. Because not all companies use identical calculations, the non-GAAP measures presented in the following table may not be comparable to those reported by other companies.
