GERMAN AMERICAN BANCORP, INC. (GABC) REPORTS FOURTH CONSECUTIVE QUARTER OF RECORD EARNINGS AND QUARTERLY DIVIDEND
 

Summary

In the face of a difficult economic environment for the financial services industry, German American Bancorp, Inc. continued its trend of exceptional performance reporting 3rd quarter net income of $3,319,000, or $0.30 per share, representing the fourth consecutive quarter of record earnings for the Company. 2008 year-to-date net income also achieved a record level of $9,450,000, or $0.85 per share. These record quarterly and year-to-date earnings were an increase of 32% and 43%, respectively, over the reported same period 2007 earnings.
 
In comparison to the prior year results, the Company outperformed in virtually every major category within the income statement reflecting increased revenue from both net interest income and total non-interest income coupled with flat to declining non-interest expenses.

During the 3rd quarter of 2008 relative to the same quarter last year, net interest income increased by $715,000, or 7%, and total non-interest income increased by $316,000, an 8% increase. Total non-interest expenses were flat to the same quarter last year, increasing in total by only $35,000 with the Company continuing to report strong productivity levels evidenced by a $170,000, or 3%, reduced level of salaries and benefits expense.
 
On a year-to-date comparison, the Company’s total revenue increased by $3.7 million as net interest income increased $2,030,000, or 7%, and total non-interest income improved by $1,664,000, or 14%. Further, total non-interest expenses declined by $576,000, or 2%, with all of this decrease attributable to a lower salaries and benefits expense.

Mark Schroeder, President & CEO of German American Bancorp, Inc., commenting on the Company’s fourth consecutive quarter of record financial performance, stated, “It is extremely gratifying that German American continues to deliver historic levels of financial performance in the face of an extremely difficult environment in which much of the financial industry, both on a regional and national basis, are facing serious challenges. As I previously stated, German American’s ability to deliver record financial performance during these turbulent times is attributable to a number of positive factors, but, in the big picture, it can be ascribed to operating the Company on a consistent and fundamentally sound conservative basis.

In addition to our strong earnings and solid loan quality, we believe German American also has the competitive advantage of strength within both the capital and liquidity components of our balance sheet. For our customers, this means that German American and its affiliate banks, insurance agencies, and investment advisory offices offer one of their best alternatives in these turbulent times when they’re looking for a lender with staying power to finance their personal and business-related needs or for a safe haven for their deposits and investments. For our shareholders, this means that German American is extremely well positioned to capitalize upon the opportunities that will present themselves in the coming months and years as the financial services industry works through the issues facing many of our competitors.”

Schroeder continued, “That said, we remain very vigilant in terms of continuing to monitor the level of asset quality within our loan portfolio in recognition that a continued weakening of the general economic environment would likely present increasing challenges in terms of the maintenance of our overall level of asset quality. At this juncture, however, we are optimistic of our consumer and commercial customers’ ability to continue to perform very well relative to their credit commitments with German American.

In this difficult environment, we’re extremely thankful for the continued loyalty and support of both our customers and our staff. It’s in times like we’re currently facing that our staff’s dedicated efforts are more critical than ever to our success. Through the dedicated efforts of our staff over the past few years, we have grown and expanded our base of core loans and deposits, developed sources of fee-based revenues such as insurance and investment advisory services, all the while enhancing our level of productivity in terms of controlling the level of our operating expenses. We trust that these efforts and our resulting level of exceptional financial performance will culminate in the form of enhanced long-term shareholder value as the market, over time, again fully recognizes the inherent value of consistent, superior operating performance and the market for financial stocks improves.”
