At September 30, 2008, Westamerica maintained a reserve for loan losses equivalent to 2.08 percent of total loans and total regulatory capital of 11.3 percent. Results for the first nine months of 2008 include gains from the sale of VISA common stock and losses recognized due to the decline in value of Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC") and Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA") preferred stock. "The strength of our underlying earnings and the high-quality of our loan portfolio allowed Westamerica to generate a 13 percent return on shareholders' equity for the first nine months of 2008, exceeding average returns in the banking industry, in spite of recognizing a decline in value of FHLMC and FNMA preferred stock. Our net interest margin remained healthy in the third quarter 2008 at 5.19 percent, compared to 5.16 percent in the prior quarter. Our credit quality remained stable with non-performing assets totaling $13 million at September 30, 2008, unchanged from June 30, 2008. We were also successful in reducing operating expenses $1.1 million in the third quarter 2008 compared to the prior quarter," said Chairman, President and CEO David Payne. "Our high- quality loan portfolio, ample loan loss reserve, and healthy capital levels distinguish Westamerica as a safe and sound bank during this troublesome period for our industry," added Payne. Page 6 Westamerica generated net income of $39 million, or diluted earnings per share ("EPS") of $1.33 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. Results for this period include a $5.7 million gain on the sale of VISA common stock resulting from VISA's initial public offering ("IPO"), and $2.3 million in reduced expenses as known litigation contingencies were satisfied as a part of the VISA IPO. EPS was increased $0.16 due to transactions recognized as a result of the VISA IPO. Results for this period also include $34 million in losses, net of tax, recognized as a result of the decline in value of FHLMC and FNMA preferred stock, which reduced EPS by $1.17. At September 30, 2008, the recorded value of FHLMC and FNMA preferred stock was $2.8 million. Also, the Company recorded a $1.0 million reduction in its tax provision primarily due to filing its 2007 tax return and adjusting 2007 tax estimates to actual amounts included in the filed tax return, which increased EPS by $0.03. The adjustment primarily resulted from higher than anticipated tax credits earned on limited partnership investments providing low-income housing and housing for the elderly in our Northern and Central California communities. Westamerica recorded net income of $44 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2008. Results for this period include $24 million in losses, net of tax, recognized as a result of the decline in value of FHLMC and FNMA preferred stock, which reduced EPS by $0.81. Also, the Company recorded the $1.0 million reduction in its tax provision primarily due to filing its 2007 tax return, which increased EPS by $0.03. Net interest income on a fully-taxable equivalent basis ("FTE") totaled $48.7 million in the third quarter 2008, compared to $49.7 million in the second quarter 2008, and $45.6 million in the third quarter 2007. For the nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, net interest income (FTE) totaled $146.4 million and $138.5 million, respectively. Net interest income has increased in 2008 compared to 2007 due to a higher net interest margin, partially offset by a smaller base of earnings assets, primarily investment securities. Lower volumes of high-cost funding sources and lower short-term interest rates have reduced the Company's cost of funds from 1.75 percent in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to 0.98 percent in the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The lower cost of funds has significantly improved the net interest margin (FTE) from 4.37 percent in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to 5.04 percent in the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The provision for credit losses was $600 thousand for the third quarter 2008, unchanged from the previous quarter and increased from $75 thousand for the third quarter 2007. Page 7 Non-interest income for the first nine months of 2008 declined $56.6 million when compared to the first nine months of 2007 due to: $59.4 million in charges to record the decline in value of FHLMC and FNMA preferred stock, $5.7 million gain on sale of VISA stock recognized in the first quarter 2008, $822 thousand gain from life insurance proceeds recognized in the first quarter of 2007, and $759 thousand lower fees on the issuance of cashiers' checks. Non-interest expense for the first nine months of 2008 was $74.6 million, compared to $74.2 million for the first nine months of 2007. The $400 thousand increase is primarily due to: $2.3 million reversal of VISA related litigation expense in the first quarter 2008, $1.5 million higher data processing expense, and $894 thousand higher personnel costs. Non-interest expense for the third quarter 2008 was $25.2 million, compared to $26.3 million for the second quarter 2008 and $24.9 million for the third quarter 2007. Third quarter 2008 expenses were reduced from the prior quarter primarily due to lower personnel costs, professional fees, and other expenses. Non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets were 0.33 percent, 0.31 percent and 0.12 percent at September 30, 2008, June 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007, respectively. Annualized net loan losses as a percentage of total average loans were 0.23 percent and 0.14 percent during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Shareholders' equity was $399 million at September 30, 2008 compared to $410 million at June 30, 2008. At September 30, 2008, total regulatory capital ratios for Westamerica Bancorporation and its subsidiary bank, Westamerica Bank, were 11.3 percent and 10.7 percent, respectively, exceeding the 10 percent requirement to be "well capitalized" under regulatory standards. Westamerica Bancorporation, through its wholly owned subsidiary Westamerica Bank, operates 86 branches throughout 21 Northern and Central California counties.
