Conlon, Chief Financial Officer January 19, 2000 (740) 373-3155 PEOPLES BANCORP ANNOUNCES 26th CONSECUTIVE YEAR OF INCREASED EARNINGS ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Earnings per share up 10% to $1.69 MARIETTA, Ohio - Peoples Bancorp Inc. (Nasdaq: PEBO) today announced its 26th consecutive year of increased earnings. Strong net interest income and other revenue enhancements enabled the Company to achieve record profits. Net income for 1999 totaled $10,718,000, up $673,000 or 6.7% compared to 1998's net income of $10,045,000. In the fourth quarter of 1999, the Company reported net income of $2,781,000, an increase of $8,000 compared to the fourth quarter of 1998. Diluted earnings per share reached $1.69 in 1999, up $0.15 (or 9.7%) from 1998. In the fourth quarter of 1999, diluted earnings per share totaled $0.45, up $0.02 (or 4.7%) compared to the same period last year. Per share references do not reflect the 10% stock dividend to be issued March 14, 2000. Cash basis earnings per share were $1.98 in 1999, up 11.9% from $1.77 in 1998. In the fourth quarter of 1999, cash earnings per share were $0.53, up 6.0% from $0.50 a year earlier. Cash basis earnings provide investors with a more meaningful comparison of the Company's financial results with competitors that make acquisitions using pooling of interest accounting. Return on stockholders' equity (ROE) improved in 1999, reaching 13.27% compared to 12.21% in 1998. In the fourth quarter of 1999, ROE reached 15.02%, compared to 13.01% for the same period in 1998. This enhancement resulted from core earnings growth, as well as stock repurchases of 5% of the Company's outstanding shares in 1999 and decreases in market value of the Company's available-for-sale investment portfolio, which combined to lower the Company's equity in the second half of 1999. Net interest income totaled $9,830,000 in the fourth quarter of 1999, an increase of $1,316,000 (or 15.5%) compared to 1998's fourth quarter. For the year ended December 31, 1999, net interest income increased $4,940,000 (or 14.9%) to $38,088,000. The growth in net interest income can be attributed primarily to balance sheet growth strategies implemented in 1999 to leverage the Company's $30 million of 8.62% Capital Securities issued in 1999 through PEBO Capital Trust I. Net interest margin decreased for the three months and year ended December 31, 1999, due to interest rate compression between loan pricing and funding source costs, as well as the expense to build cash reserves in the fourth quarter of 1999 for potential Y2K-related cash withdrawals. The Company had total non-interest income of $7,633,000 and $2,045,000 for the year and three months ended December 31, 1999, increases of 11.9% and 4.1%, respectively. All of the Company's non-interest income areas had strong growth compared to 1998, including increased fiduciary revenues, electronic banking income, insurance revenues, and a full-year's impact of deposit account service charges generated from the mid-1998 acquisition of multiple banking centers and associated deposits. Peoples Bancorp reported increased non-interest expense of $4,921,000 and $1,530,000 for the year and three months ended December 31, 1999, increases of 21.1% and 25.4%, respectively. Increased non-interest expense was attributable to full-year expenses such as salaries and benefits, intangible amortization expense (related to the mid-1998 acquisition of multiple banking centers), as well as first-year interest costs related to the Capital Securities issued in 1999. The Company's efficiency ratio performance declined in the fourth quarter and 1999 due primarily to the Capital Securities interest costs, while supporting enhancement in other performance ratios such as ROE and earnings per share. Robert E. Evans, Peoples Bancorp's President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Our results of operations in 1999 reflect improvement in several key performance areas, including top-line revenue generation and loan growth. In 2000, our focus will continue to be expanding our relationships with customers and responding to their changing needs. Our previously announced plan to consolidate our banks under a single charter will enhance our customers' financial alternatives and our customers' choices of delivery methods."
