REPORTS FIRST QUARTER RESULTS --------------------------------------------------------------------- MARIETTA, Ohio - Peoples Bancorp Inc. (Nasdaq: PEBO) announced net income of $5,014,000 for the first quarter of 2003, up 7% from $4,693,000 a year ago. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2002, net income grew 11% from $4,500,000. Diluted earnings per share were $0.51 for the first quarter of 2003 versus $0.59 for the same period last year and $0.54 for the fourth quarter of 2002. In the first quarter of 2002, Peoples purchased $7.0 million of trust preferred securities issued by PEBO Capital Trust I, at a significant discount, resulting in a nonrecurring after-tax gain of $410,000, or $0.05 per diluted share. While net income increased for the current quarter primarily due to additional net interest income resulting from an investment growth strategy initiated in late 2002, the combination of assets repricing downward and efforts to lock in lower long-term rates on funding sources has reduced net margin earned from both the loan and investment portfolios resulting in lower earnings per share in the first quarter of 2003. Also, the issuance of 1.7 million of Peoples' common shares in late 2002 and early 2003 had some impact to first quarter 2003 per share earnings, although most of the dilutive effect of the new shares outstanding was offset by the investment leverage strategy which was essentially completed in early February 2003. "Our earnings, although lower than previous quarters on a per share basis, remain solid even as economic conditions and competitive factors have challenged the financial services industry," said Robert E. Evans, Peoples' President and CEO. "As we strive to create long-term stakeholder value, we also recognize the need for short-term performance. We remain committed to our core values that guide us in achieving future success and will not sacrifice long-term potential simply for the sake of short-term growth." Net income for the first quarter of 2002 reflects Peoples' adoption of FASB Statement 147, "Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions" ("SFAS 147"), which was effective on October 1, 2002. Under SFAS 147, goodwill is no longer amortized, but is subject to annual impairment tests. This standard is applied retroactively and caused Peoples to restate amortization of goodwill on qualifying branch purchases of $274,000 in the first quarter of 2002. Net interest income totaled $13,643,000 for the first quarter of 2003 compared to $12,190,000 last quarter and $12,159,000 for 2002's first quarter. For the three months ended March 31, 2003, net interest margin was 3.87% versus 4.05% and 4.52% for the fourth and first quarters of 2002, respectively. In January 2003, Peoples purchased $260 million of mortgage-backed securities as part of an investment growth strategy to offset the dilutive impact of the new common shares issued in late 2002 and early 2003. The investment purchases were funded using a mix of short- and long-term borrowings totaling $245 million. This leverage program accounted for the majority of the increase in net interest income in 2003 but also contributed to compression of net interest margin. "The sustained low interest rate environment has challenged net interest income and margin," said Jack Conlon, Peoples' Chief Financial Officer. "While we have taken steps to secure longer-term, fixed rate borrowings to lock in the low rates and eliminate our previous liability sensitive position, significant volumes of assets continue to reprice downward and compress net interest margin. Peoples' current interest rate position should produce income growth when interest rates eventually increase." For the quarter ended March 31, 2003, non-interest income was $3,935,000, up 20% from $3,283,000 for the same period last year. The increase in non-interest income was primarily the result of higher deposit service charge income, with revenues from Peoples' e-banking services, business owned life insurance ("BOLI"), and $230,000 of mortgage banking income also contributing to the increase. Deposit account service charges grew 26% in the first quarter of 2003 to $1,725,000 as compared to the first quarter of 2002, due to higher volumes of overdraft and non-sufficient funds fees, as well as an increased number of checking accounts attributable to acquisitions and Peoples' Free Checking campaign. E-banking revenues increased 23% to $454,000 in first quarter of 2003, as customers increasingly complete more of their transactions using Peoples' debit cards. BOLI produced tax-advantaged revenue of $365,000 in the first quarter of 2003, up 12% from a year ago. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2002, non-interest income was down $175,000 in the first three months of 2003. Starting in the second half of 2002, Peoples began selling long-term, fixed rate real estate loans into the secondary market. As a result, Peoples recognized mortgage banking income of $230,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2003. Prior to the third quarter of 2002, Peoples primarily originated one- to five-year adjustable rate, fully amortizing real estate loans rather than long-term, fixed rate loans due to the associated interest rate risk. Peoples expects a continued focus on secondary market loan activity in 2003. "Our strategic goals include to continue growing non-interest revenues," commented Mark Bradley, President and Chief Operating Officer of Peoples Bank. "And while various factors, including the impact of the struggling equity markets on fiduciary and brokerage revenues, limited our ability to grow revenues in the first quarter, we believe Peoples' needs-based approach to selling and the implementation of a customer relationship management system will provide our associates with additional opportunities to generate higher levels of fee-based income." Non-interest expense was $9,704,000 in the first quarter of 2003, up 12% compared to $8,677,000 for the first three months of 2002. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2002, non-interest expense grew 5% in the first quarter, from $9,261,000. Salaries and benefits, Peoples' largest non-interest expense, totaled $4,724,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2003, up 5% compared to $4,484,000 a year ago. This increase was largely due to the addition of several new associates and salary increases necessary to retain and recruit key personnel. Professional fees were up 47% in the first quarter of 2003 compared to a year ago, attributable in large part to costs associated with Peoples' Overdraft Privilege program. Occupancy and equipment costs increased 19% as recent acquisitions and investments in technology produced additional depreciation expense in 2003. "We will continue to invest in our associates and technology, as well as make acquisitions that allow us to generate additional revenue and serve our new and existing clients better," said Bradley. "These investments have resulted in higher expenses in the first quarter compared to prior periods. We continue to evaluate every opportunity to control costs and improve short-term performance without sacrificing future opportunities and our ability to enhance Peoples' long-term value." At March 31, 2003, loans totaled $861.1 million, up $10.2 million since year-end 2002. Commercial loan balances grew $30.3 million during the first quarter of 2003, while real estate and consumer loans declined $12.8 million and $6.8 million, respectively. The majority of the increase in commercial loans is attributable to lending opportunities within Peoples' existing markets. Real estate loan balances have declined in response to customer demand for long-term, fixed-rate mortgages sold into the secondary market. Consumer loan balances continue to drop as a result of both a decrease in demand and Peoples' focus on loan quality, more than loan growth, due to economic conditions. "Loan growth remains a key to reaching our 2003 goals, but we also realize the importance of strong asset quality in these uncertain economic times," stated Conlon. "We have dealt with the few troubled loan relationships which impacted asset quality in 2002. Our lenders will remain focused on generating loans which meet Peoples' sound underwriting criteria." Nonperforming loans comprised 0.55% of total loans at March 31, 2003 and nonperforming assets comprised 0.34% of total assets, versus 0.88% and 0.55%, respectively, at year-end 2002. This improvement is due to a lower level of nonperforming loans and an increase in assets. Conlon added, "In the first quarter of 2003, a large commercial loan on non-accrual status moved into other real estate owned, which provided improvement in Peoples' loan quality ratios. We are confident our loan review process will continue to identify problems loans in a timely manner which should allow us to reduce future losses." Since December 31, 2002, nonperforming loans have declined 36%, with reduced renegotiated loan balances comprising the majority of the improvement, while total assets increased 20% as a result of the investment leverage strategy completed in the first quarter of 2003. The allowance for loan losses was $13.4 million at March 31, 2003, compared to $13.1 million at year-end 2002. Peoples' provision for loan losses was $831,000 in the first quarter of 2003, down from $1,044,000 in the prior quarter and $861,000 a year ago. "The decreased provision reflects the overall improvement in the quality of Peoples' loan portfolio," said Conlon. "In addition, provisions relating to the Overdraft Privilege program declined as losses begin to stabilize. Our evaluation of the adequacy for loan losses, loan growth and other factors affecting probable loan losses is ongoing, but we believe the current allowance for loan losses is adequate for the overall quality, inherit risk and loan volume concentrations in the loan portfolio." In the first quarter of 2003, net loan chargeoffs were $554,000 compared to $792,000 a year ago and $843,000 in the fourth quarter of 2002. Consumer and commercial loans comprised the largest portion of net chargeoffs. In the first quarter of 2003, net consumer loan chargeoffs totaled $201,000 compared to $218,000 and $167,000 for the first and fourth quarters of 2002, respectively, while commercial loan chargeoffs totaled $186,000, $381,000 and $448,000 for the same periods, respectively. Commercial loan chargeoffs were lower in the first quarter of 2003 as a result of Peoples charging down troubled loans last year to amounts deemed collectible. Chargeoffs relating to the Overdraft Privilege program totaled $117,000 in the first three months of 2003 versus $104,000 and $196,000 in 2002's first and fourth quarters, respectively. "Overall, our first quarter results reflect the challenges we faced in building upon the success of 2002," summarized Evans. "Although various factors limited our ability to improve earnings per share, our focus remains on Peoples' long-term earnings potential, and we believe Peoples is positioned for long-term growth and success."
