EX-99 2 EXHIBIT 99 1 Exhibit 99 NEWS RELEASE [HUNTINGTON BANKS LOGO] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE SUBMITTED: APRIL 14, 1998 FOR FURTHER INFORMATION, CONTACT: MEDIA ANALYSTS - ----- -------- HILLARY JEFFERS (614) 480-5413 LAURIE COUNSEL (614) 480-3878 CHERI GRAY (614) 480-3803 HUNTINGTON BANCSHARES REPORTS 16% INCREASE IN EARNINGS FOR FIRST QUARTER OF 1998 COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Huntington Bancshares Incorporated (NASDAQ: HBAN; www.huntington.com) today reported net income of $89.5 million for the first quarter of 1998, compared with $77.2 million for the same period one year ago, an increase of 15.9%. Basic earnings per share of $.47 for the quarter increased 14.6% from $.41 per share reported in the year-ago quarter. For the recent three months, Huntington's return on average equity was 17.73% and return on average assets was 1.38%, compared with 17.42% and 1.27% for the same three months in 1997. "We are pleased with the first quarter results," said Frank Wobst, chairman and chief executive officer of Huntington Bancshares Incorporated. "Fee income grew 25% over the first quarter of last year as a result of the company's continued focus on generating non-interest revenues. As part of this strategy, The Huntington recently acquired Pollock & Pollock, Inc., an insurance agency in Cleveland, which will expand the array of insurance products available to our customers." During the first quarter, the operations of the western Michigan region, formerly First Michigan Bank Corporation, were successfully converted to The Huntington's common operating platform. This is expected to create efficiencies as well as the opportunity to provide better service to The Huntington's Michigan customers. In addition, the acquisition of the 60 former Barnett Bank banking offices from NationsBank, which was announced in December, is (more) 2 scheduled to close in late June. Upon completion of this transaction, The Huntington will have 110 banking offices in Florida with $4.1 billion in deposits. Net interest income for the quarter was $254.8 million, up $7.3 million from the year-ago quarter. Adjusted for the impact of the recent sale of $510 million in single family residential mortgage loans, average total loans outstanding grew 6.5% over the same period last year. Average core deposits increased $1.1 billion, or 7.2%, versus the first quarter of 1997, fueled by 7.9% growth in transaction accounts. The net interest margin for the quarter was 4.30%, a decrease of 9 basis points from the first quarter of 1997. Non-interest income grew 25.5% to $93.7 million for the first three months of 1998, compared with $74.6 million during the same period last year. Mortgage banking income increased 57.4% or $5.2 million due to strong origination activity in the first quarter. Electronic banking fees were up 31.3% as customers continue to take advantage of the convenience offered by the company's expanding ATM network. Continued growth was also seen in The Huntington's investment product sales, generating a revenue increase of 14.1% over the first quarter of 1997. During the recent quarter, $5.3 million in non-interest income was generated from a $400 million Bank Owned Life Insurance (BOLI) policy, purchased by The Huntington in December 1997. Non-interest expense increased 7.6% in the recent quarter to $197.8 million, compared with $183.9 million one year ago. Expenses related to 1997 purchase acquisitions (which impacted results for the full quarter in 1998), higher sales commissions, a substantial increase in the number of ATMs in The Huntington network and Year 2000 expenses contributed to the increase. At March 31, 1998, non-performing assets were $95.1 million, or .54% of total loans and other real estate, compared with .51% one year ago. The allowance for loan losses increased to $258.3 million, or 1.46% of loans, from $241.6 million, or 1.38% of loans, at the same time last year. Net charge-offs as a percent of average loans were .51% for the first quarter. The Huntington's average equity to average assets was 7.77% in the most recent three month period. Tier 1 and total risk-based capital ratios were 8.91% and 11.57%, respectively, at March 31, 1998.
