EX-99 2 firstcapitalexb99july21.txt 1 FIRST CAPITAL, INC. REPORTS SECOND QUARTER EARNINGS INCREASE Corydon, Indiana--July 21, 2006. First Capital, Inc. (NASDAQ: FCAP - news), the holding company for First Harrison Bank (the "Bank"), today reported net income of $936,000 or $0.33 per diluted share for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, compared to $872,000 or $0.31 per diluted share during the same period in 2005. The earnings per share figures have been adjusted to account for the stock dividend declared on June 19, 2006. The increase in earnings is due to increases in net interest income after the provision for loan loses and noninterest income, partially offset by an increase in noninterest expense. Net interest income after provision for loan losses increased $106,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2005. Interest income increased $629,000 when comparing the two periods as the average tax-equivalent yield of interest-earning assets increased from 5.89% during the quarter ended June 30, 2005 to 6.37% for the same period in 2006. Interest expense increased $486,000 as the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased from 2.87% to 3.33% when comparing the same two periods. The provision for loan losses increased $37,000 to a total of $200,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2006. Noninterest income increased $54,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2005. Service charges on deposit accounts increased $90,000 when comparing the two periods. This was partially offset by decreases of $17,000 and $16,000, respectively, in mortgage brokerage fees and gains on sales of mortgages. Noninterest expenses increased $85,000 as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2005. Compensation and benefits increased $107,000 when comparing the quarters ended June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2005 primarily due to normal salary increases and an increase in lending staff. This was partially offset by a decrease of $39,000 in data processing expenses when comparing the two periods. A reduction in data processing equipment depreciation was the primary factor in this change. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Company earned $1.9 million or $0.66 per diluted share compared to $1.7 million or $0.61 for the same period in 2005. Again, the earnings per share figures reflect the stock dividend declared on June 19, 2006. Net interest income after provision for loan loss increased $295,000 during the first six months of 2006 compared to the same period in 2005. Interest income increased $1.3 million when comparing the two periods, due to an increase in the average tax-equivalent yield on interest-earning assets from 5.83% during the first six months of 2005 to 6.30% in the same period of 2006. The average balance of interest-earning assets also increased, from $400.0 million in 2005 to $413.3 million in 2006. Interest expense increased $948,000 as the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased from 2.81% in 2005 to 3.25% in 2006. The average balance of interest-bearing liabilities increased $10.9 million when comparing the two periods. The provision for loan losses increased $57,000 to $370,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2006. Noninterest income remained virtually unchanged at $1.5 million during the six month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005. Service charges on deposits increased $126,000, offset by reductions in gains on the sale of mortgage loans, mortgage brokerage fees and commission income. Noninterest expenses increased $77,000 when comparing the six months ended June 30, 2006 to the same period in 2005, primarily due to an increase of $96,000 in compensation and benefits. Data processing expenses decreased $77,000 when comparing the two periods. Total assets as of June 30, 2006 were $447.9 million compared to $438.4 million at December 31, 2005. The primary factor behind the asset growth was an increase of $12.8 million in net loans receivable. The funding for this growth was provided by increases in retail repurchase agreements and deposits of $13.6 million and $5.0 million, respectively.
