City Holding Company Announces Third Quarter Results

Charleston, West Virginia – City Holding Company, “the Company” (NASDAQ:CHCO), a $2.9 billion bank holding company headquartered in Charleston, today announced third quarter net income per diluted share of $0.71 and net income of $10.6 million.  For the third quarter of 2012, the Company achieved a return on assets of 1.47%, a return on tangible equity of 16.2%, a net interest margin of 3.95%, and an efficiency ratio of 56.4%.

City’s CEO Charles Hageboeck stated that, “In a difficult economic climate, City’s financial performance in the third quarter was solid. Our net interest margin was up; the company experienced loan and deposit growth, and asset quality remained strong and stable compared to peers. The third quarter marks the first full quarter since our acquisition of Virginia Savings Bank, which was completed on May 31, 2012. Additionally, City announced in August 2012 the execution of a definitive agreement to acquire Community Financial Corporation of Staunton, Virginia.  The proposed merger is expected to close in the first quarter of 2013 subject to pending regulatory approvals, the approval of Community’s shareholders, and the completion of other customary closing conditions.  This transaction will significantly expand City’s presence in Virginia and complements our recently completed acquisition of Virginia Savings Bancorp, Inc.”

“City’s results for the third quarter of 2012 are down slightly as compared to the third quarter of 2011 because we recorded no provision for loan losses during the quarter ended September 30, 2011.  Net interest income increased $1.3 million from the third quarter of 2011 despite $38 million of higher yielding trust preferred securities being called during the third quarter of 2012.  The resultant decrease in net interest income of approximately $0.6 million related to the trust preferred securities was more than offset from additional interest income associated with the acquisition of Virginia Savings Bancorp, Inc.  Our net interest margin remained solid at 3.95% for the third quarter of 2012.”


 
 

 

“Loan balances increased $20 million (1.0%) from June 30, 2012 to September 30, 2012.  Our asset quality metrics remain stable and strong.  Non-performing assets were 1.53% of total loans and other real estate owned and past due loans were 0.45% of total loans at September 30, 2012.”

Net Interest Income

The Company’s tax equivalent net interest income increased $1.1 million, or 4.3%, from $24.0 million during the second quarter of 2012 to $25.1 million during the third quarter of 2012.  This increase is primarily due to the acquisition of Virginia Savings Bancorp, Inc. that was partially offset by lower interest income due to approximately $38 million of higher yielding trust preferred securities being called during the third quarter of 2012.  The Company’s reported net interest margin increased from 3.91% for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 to 3.95% for the quarter ended September 30, 2012.  Excluding the favorable impact of acquisition accounting fair value adjustments ($0.95 million), the net interest margin for the third quarter of 2012 would have been 3.80%.

Credit Quality

As a result of the Company’s quarterly analysis of the adequacy of the ALLL, the Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $1.0 million in the third quarter of 2012, compared to no provision for the comparable period in 2011 and $1.7 million for the second quarter of 2012.  During the third quarter of 2012, the Company received life insurance proceeds as the beneficiary of a life insurance policy carried by a commercial borrower that allowed the Company to reduce the ALLL by approximately $0.6 million for amounts previously included in the ALLL.  In addition, charge-offs for commercial real estate loans were primarily related to a specific credit that had been appropriately considered in establishing the allowance for loan losses in prior periods.  Changes in the amount of the provision and related allowance are based on the Company’s detailed systematic methodology and are directionally consistent with changes in the composition and quality of the Company’s loan portfolio. The Company believes its methodology for determining the adequacy of its ALLL adequately provides for probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio and produces a provision and allowance for loan losses that is directionally consistent with changes in asset quality and loss experience.

Investment Securities Gains/(Losses)

During the third quarter of 2012, the Company sold certain equity positions related to community banks and bank holding companies and realized a $0.4 million gain.  The Company also recognized gains of $0.3 million associated with the calls of trust preferred securities during the quarter.  These gains were partially offset by $0.3 million of credit-related net investment impairment losses recorded by the Company during the third quarter of 2012.  The charges deemed to be other than temporary were related to pooled bank trust preferreds with a remaining carrying value of $3.5 million at September 30, 2012.  The credit-related net impairment charges were based on the Company’s quarterly reviews of its investment securities for indications of losses considered to be other than temporary.

Non-interest Income

Exclusive of net investment gains, non-interest income increased $0.3 million to $13.6 million in the third quarter of 2012 as compared to $13.3 million in the third quarter of 2011.  This increase was primarily the result of an increase in other income of $0.3 million due to increased mortgage related income and a $0.2 million increase in trust and investment management fee income for the quarter ended September 30, 2012.  These increases were partially offset by a $0.2 million decrease in bank owned life insurance revenues.
 
 
Non-interest Expenses

Non-interest expenses increased $2.1 million from $19.7 million in the third quarter of 2011 to $21.8 million in the third quarter of 2012.  Salaries and employee benefits increased $1.0 million primarily due to the acquisition of Virginia Savings Bancorp, Inc. ($0.4 million) and increased health insurance costs ($0.4 million).  Repossessed asset losses increased $0.3 million due to declines in estimated fair values of two foreclosed properties located at the Greenbrier Resort in West Virginia.  The Company continually reevaluates the estimated fair value of properties that it has repossessed by obtaining updated appraisals on at least an annual basis.  In addition, other expenses increased $0.3 million, bankcard expenses increased $0.2 million, and merger related expenses increased $0.2 million.

Balance Sheet Trends

Loans have increased $112.1 million (5.7%) from December 31, 2011 to $2.09 billion at September 30, 2012, in part due to the Company’s acquisition of Virginia Savings Bancorp, Inc. ($72.0 million).  Excluding the Virginia Savings Bancorp, Inc. acquisition, loans have increased $40.1 million (2.0%) from December 31, 2011 to $2.01 billion at September 30, 2012.  Increases in residential real estate loans of $36.6 million (3.9%) and commercial real estate loans of $34.5 million (4.7%) were partially offset by a decline in commercial and industrial (“C&I”) loans of $28.4 million.

Total average depository balances increased $68.1 million, or 2.9%, from the quarter ended June 30, 2012 to the quarter ended September 30, 2012.  This growth was primarily attributable to deposits acquired from Virginia Savings Bancorp, Inc. ($81.8 million).  Exclusive of this contribution, the Company experienced decreases in interest-bearing deposits ($6.6 million), time deposits ($4.4 million), and noninterest-bearing deposits ($3.0 million).

Income Tax Expense

The Company’s effective income tax rate for the third quarter of 2012 was 34.3% compared to 33.6% for the year ended December 31, 2011, and 33.5% for the quarter ended September 30, 2011.  The effective rate is based upon the Company’s expected tax rate for the year ending December 31, 2012.

Capitalization and Liquidity

The Company’s loan to deposit ratio was 87.6% and the loan to asset ratio was 71.9% at September 30, 2012.  The Company maintained investment securities totaling 14.3% of assets as of this date.  The Company’s deposit mix is weighted heavily toward checking and saving accounts that fund 50.1% of assets at September 30, 2012.  Time deposits fund 32.0% of assets at September 30, 2012, but very few of these deposits are in accounts that have balances of more than $250,000, reflecting the core retail orientation of the Company.

At September 30, 2012 the Company was strongly capitalized. The Company’s tangible equity ratio was 9.29% at September 30, 2012 compared to 9.37% at December 31, 2011.  At September 30, 2012, City National Bank’s Leverage Ratio was 9.02%, its Tier I Capital ratio was 12.03%, and its Total Risk-Based Capital ratio was 12.94%.  These regulatory capital ratios are significantly above levels required to be considered “well capitalized,” which is the highest possible regulatory designation.

On September 27, 2012, the Board approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.35 cents per share payable October 31, 2012, to shareholders of record as of October 15, 2012.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company repurchased 237,535 common shares at a weighted average price of $33.32 as part of a one million share repurchase plan authorized by the Board of Directors in July 2011.  At September 30, 2012, the Company could repurchase approximately 454,000 shares under the July 2011 authorization.

City Holding Company is the parent company of City National Bank of West Virginia.  City National operates 73 branches across West Virginia, Kentucky, Virginia and Ohio.

On August 2, 2012 the Company announced that it had executed a definitive agreement to acquire Community Financial Corporation of Staunton, Virginia and its principal banking subsidiary, Community Bank.  The proposed merger is expected to close in the first quarter of 2013; however it is subject to pending regulatory approvals, the approval of Community’s shareholders, and the completion of other customary closing conditions.  This transaction will expand City’s presence in Virginia with an additional ten branches.
