APRIL 30, 2013 GERMAN AMERICAN BANCORP, INC. (GABC) REPORTS INCREASE IN QUARTERLY EARNINGS

Jasper, Indiana - April 30, 2013 -- German American Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: GABC) reported increased quarterly earnings and continued balance sheet growth during the first quarter of 2013, as compared to the same quarter of the prior year. German American’s first quarter 2013 net income of $5.8 million, or $0.46 per share, represented an increase of approximately 5%, on a per share basis, above the net income of $5.6 million, or $0.44 per share, reported in the first quarter of 2012.

As compared to the same quarter prior year results, this quarter’s earnings were positively affected by a $1.1 million increase in total non-interest income, driven primarily by an approximately $400 thousand increase in insurance revenue and a $200 thousand increase in trust fees, as well as a nearly $600 thousand elevated level of net gains on the sales of securities in the current year.

Further enhancing the level of the Company’s first quarter 2013 earnings was a $340 thousand reduction in the amount of provision for loan loss from that booked during the prior year’s first quarter. This reduction in the level of loan loss provision was related to a continued improvement during the first quarter of this year of an already strong level of asset quality within the Company’s loan portfolio.

German American also reported higher levels of loans and deposits as compared to the first quarter of last year. March 31, 2013 loans outstanding increased by $100 million, or 9%, while total deposits increased by approximately $55 million, or 3%, compared to March 31, 2012 total loans and deposits. This increase in both loans and deposits during the past year is reflective of the Company’s continued success in growing its base of both lending clients and deposit customers.

The Company’s net interest income declined by approximately $400 thousand while total non-interest expenses increased by approximately $875 thousand during the current year first quarter from the levels recorded during the first quarter of last year. The decline in net interest income during the first quarter of 2013 compared with the first quarter of 2012 was largely attributable to a decline in the accretion of loan discounts on acquired loans. The increase in total non-interest expenses in the current year first quarter relative to that of the same quarter last year resulted from increases of approximately $475 thousand in salaries and benefits and $250 thousand increase in data processing expenses.

Commenting on the Company’s continued trend of strong quarterly financial performance, Mark A. Schroeder, Chairman & CEO, stated, “The combination of solid organic deposit growth, a continuation of our historically strong level of asset quality within our loan portfolio, and significant revenue growth within the insurance and trust components of our business allowed our Company to book another quarter of impressive operating performance. Obviously, we have been able to achieve this due in large part to the financial strength of our borrowing clients, the confidence of our depositors, and the willingness of our customers to entrust us to deliver the very best in financial products and services across multiple lines of business within banking, insurance, investments, and trust. We sincerely thank all of our clients for giving us that opportunity”.

The Company also announced that its Board of Directors declared its regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per share which will be payable on May 20, 2013 to shareholders of record as of May 10, 2013.

Balance Sheet Highlights

Total assets for the Company totaled $1.979 billion at March 31, 2013, a decline of $27.3 million from year-end 2012 and an increase of $68.5 million compared with March 31, 2012. The Company’s investment portfolio increased by $43.2 million to $631.1 million during the first quarter of 2013. This increase was primarily the result of re-investment of funds early during the first quarter of 2013 following a security sale transaction late in the fourth quarter of 2012.

March 31, 2013 loans outstanding decreased by $11.3 million, or approximately 4% on an annualized basis, compared with year end 2012, and increased $100.1 million, or 9%, compared to March 31, 2012 total loans outstanding. The reduction in loans during the first quarter of 2013 compared with year end was largely related to a seasonal decline in agricultural loans.

The Company’s allowance for loan losses totaled $15.7 million at March 31, 2013 representing an increase of $214,000 or 6% on an annualized basis from December 31, 2012 and flat to March 31, 2012. The allowance for loan losses represented 1.31% of period-end loans at March 31, 2013 compared with 1.29% of period-end loans at December 31, 2012 and 1.44% of period-end loans at March 31, 2012. Under acquisition accounting treatment, loans acquired are recorded at fair value which includes a credit risk component, and therefore the allowance on loans acquired is not carried over from the seller. The Company held a discount on acquired loans of $3.1 million as of March 31, 2013, $3.5 million at year-end 2012 and $5.6 million at March 31, 2012.

Total deposits increased $19.0 million or 5% on an annualized basis, as of March 31, 2013 compared with December 31, 2012 total deposits and increased by approximately $55.1 million or 3% compared with March 31, 2012.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2013, net interest income totaled $16,225,000 representing a decrease of $369,000, or 2%, from the quarter ended December 31, 2012 net interest income of $16,594,000 and a decrease of $387,000, or 2%, compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2012 net interest income of $16,612,000. The tax equivalent net interest margin for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 was 3.60% compared to 3.66% in the fourth quarter of 2012 and 3.88% in the first quarter of 2012. The decline in net interest income during the quarter ended March 31, 2013 compared with the fourth quarter of 2012 was largely attributable to continued pressure on the net interest margin, and in particular on earning asset yields, as market interest rates continue at historically low interest rates.

The decline in net interest income during the first quarter of 2013 compared with the first quarter of 2012 was largely attributable to a decline in the accretion of loan discounts on acquired loans. The low interest rate environment also continued to put pressure on the Company’s net interest margin in the first quarter of 2013 compared with the first quarter of 2012. However, the Company’s ability to grow its outstanding loans during the past year largely offset that net interest margin compression to hold net interest income relatively stable absent the decline in accretion of loan discounts on acquired loans. Accretion of loan discounts on acquired loans contributed approximately 8 basis points on an annualized basis to the net interest margin in both the first quarter of 2013 and the fourth quarter of 2012 and 18 basis points in the first quarter of 2012.

The provision for loan loss totaled $350,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2013 representing a decrease of $341,000 or 49% from the fourth quarter of 2012 and a decline of $340,000 or 49% from the first quarter of 2012. During the first quarter of 2013, the provision for loan loss represented approximately 12 basis points of average loans on an annualized basis while net charge-offs represented approximately 5 basis points of average loans on an annualized basis.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2013, non-interest income totaled $5,910,000, a decrease of $109,000 or 2%, compared with the quarter ended December 31, 2012, and an increase of $1,109,000, or 23%, compared with the first quarter of 2012.

The increase in the first quarter of 2013 compared both the fourth quarter of 2012 and first quarter of 2012 was due primarily to increased trust revenues.

Insurance revenues increased $478,000, or 37%, during the quarter ended March 31, 2013, compared with the fourth quarter of 2012 and increased $393,000, or 28%, compared with the first quarter of 2012. The increase during the first quarter of 2013 compared with both the fourth quarter of 2012 and the first quarter of 2012 was due to increased contingency revenue and increased commercial insurance revenue. Contingency revenue during the first quarter of 2013 totaled $246,000 compared with $52,000 during the first quarter of 2012. The fluctuation in contingency revenue during 2013 and 2012 is a normal course of business type of variance and is reflective of claims and loss experience with insurance carriers that the Company represents through its property and casualty insurance agency.

Other operating income decreased $164,000 or 36% during the quarter ended March 31, 2013 compared with the fourth quarter of 2012 and decreased $82,000 or 22% compared with the first quarter of 2012. The decrease in both comparative periods was largely related to the net loss on sales and write-downs of other real estate which totaled approximately $142,000 during the first quarter of 2013 compared with a net loss of $10,000 during the fourth quarter of 2012 and $35,000 during the first quarter of 2012.

Net gains on sales of loans totaled $754,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2013, a decrease of $150,000, or 17%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2012 and an increase of $41,000, or 6%, compared with the first quarter of 2012. Loan sales totaled $42.5 million during the first quarter of 2013, compared with $58.6 million during the fourth quarter of 2012 and $54.1 million during the first quarter of 2012.

During the first quarter of 2013, the Company realized a net gain on the sale of securities of $613,000 related to the sale of approximately $29.8 million compared to $975,000 related to the sale of approximately $44.8 million of securities in the fourth quarter of 2012.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2013, non-interest expense totaled $13,462,000, an increase of $283,000, or 2%, compared with the quarter ended December 31, 2012, and an increase of $869,000, or 7%, compared with the first quarter of 2012.

The increase in salaries and benefits during the first quarter of 2013 compared with the first quarter of 2012 was primarily the result of an increased number of full-time equivalent employees due in part to an increased number of banking locations and increased costs related to the Company’s partially self-insured health insurance plan.

The increase during the first quarter of 2013 compared with the first quarter of 2012 was largely related to the resolution of a contractual dispute during the first quarter of 2012 related to the acquisition of American Community Bancorp. An expense for the cancellation of a data processing contract was recorded in the first quarter of 2011, and upon resolution of the contractual dispute, a portion of that accrued expense was reversed in the first quarter of 2012.
