EX-99.1 2 firstcapital8kapr21-05ex99.txt 1 FIRST CAPITAL, INC. REPORTS INCREASE IN FIRST QUARTER EARNINGS Corydon, Indiana--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 21, 2005. First Capital, Inc. (NASDAQ: FCAP - news), the holding company for First Harrison Bank (the "Bank"), today reported net income of $856,000 or $0.33 per diluted share for the quarter ended March 31, 2005, compared to $833,000 or $0.30 per diluted share for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. The increase in earnings is due to an increase in noninterest income partially offset by an increase in noninterest expense and a slight decrease in net interest income after the provision for loan losses. Net interest income after provision for loan losses decreased $19,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 as compared to the prior year. Interest income increased $181,000 while interest expense increased $175,000 when comparing the two periods. The provision for loan losses increased from $125,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2004 to $150,000 for the same period in 2005. Noninterest income increased $198,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004. Gains on loans sold for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 were $87,000 while the Bank sold no loans during the same period of 2004. Service charges on deposit accounts and commission income increased $76,000 and $30,000 when comparing the same two periods. Noninterest expenses increased $152,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2005 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2004. Compensation and benefits accounted for $87,000 of this increase primarily due to increases in wages, the cost of health insurance and acceleration of the release of ESOP plan shares. Other operating expenses increased $53,000 when comparing the two periods. The primary causes were increases in advertising, employee training and postage expense. Total assets as of March 31, 2005 were $436.6 million compared to $425.3 million at December 31, 2004. The primary factors behind the asset growth were increases in interest bearing deposits with banks and available-for-sale securities of $9.8 million and $3.3 million, respectively. The funding for the growth was provided by increases of $7.9 million in retail repurchase agreements and $4.9 million in deposits.
