EX-99 3 lnb072203report.txt LNB BANCORP, INC. SECOND QUARTER 2003 REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS LNB BANCORP, INC. Exhibit Index Exhibit Number Description ---------------- ------------------------- 99.1 Second Quarter 2003 Report of LNB Bancorp, Inc. to Shareholders 99.2 Press Release of LNB Bancorp, Inc. reporting financial results for the first half of 2003 Exhibit 99.1 MESSAGE TO SHAREHOLDERS It's a pleasure, once again, to report on the progress of LNB Bancorp, Inc., and its subsidiary companies after the first half of 2003. As of June 30, 2003, LNB Bancorp, Inc. achieved growth in earnings, dividends, assets, loans, securities, deposits, and shareholders' equity. All 2002 financial statements and related pre-share amounts have been restated to reflect the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 147 Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions and SFAS No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" as related to intangibles. Per share amounts have been adjusted to reflect a three-for-two Stock split on March 14, 2003. Earnings have increased 2% for the first half of the year, compared to the same period one year ago. Earnings for the first six months of 2003 reached $4,515,000, up from $4,429,000 during the first half of 2002. Second quarter earnings for 2003 reached $2,324,000 compared with $2,281,000 for the second quarter of 2002. Earnings for 2003 were higher than a year ago because of higher net interest income and lower noninterest income, noninterest expenses and provision for income taxes. Increases in net interest income were supported by commercial and consumer loans growth coupled with decreases in rates paid on interest bearing liabilities. The decrease in noninterest income resulted primarily from decreases in Investment and Trust Services income and gains on sales of securities offset in part by increases in fees and service charges and increases of gains on sales of loans. Decreases in noninterest expenses resulted from decreases in salaries and employee benefits and marketing expenses offset in part by increases in occupancy expense, outside services and furniture and equipment expenses. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the first half of 2003 reached $.68, a 2% increase over the $.67 amount reported for the first half of 2002. Cash dividends declared per share for the first half of 2003 increased 3% or by $.01 to $.34 per share, up from $.33 per share in 2002. Asset growth remains solid. Consolidated assets climbed 8% to $753.1 million at June 30, 2003, up $58.5 million from June 30, 2002. Net loans grew by $27.1 million from one year ago to $520.1 million at June 30, 2003 for a 6% increase. The security portfolio increased to $165.8 million at June 30, 2003, up $19.0 million or 13% from one year ago. Total deposits increased 7% to $591.6 million, up $38.2 million from one year ago. Increases in savings, checkinvest, Market Access, certificates of deposit and checking accounted for the deposit increase. Lorain National Bank's deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). Lorain National Bank operates 21 banking centers and 27 ATMs in nine local communities. Total shareholders' equity increased by $4.3 million during the twelve months ended June 30, 2003 for a 7% increase. Total shareholders' equity was $68.6 million or $10.38 per share at June 30, 2003, compared to $64.2 million or $9.70 per share at June 30, 2002. In addition, we are pleased to announce that effective June 30, 2003, LNB Bancorp, Inc. was added for the first time to the Russell 2000 Index. LNB Bancorp Inc.'s split adjusted stock price advanced about 20% and 81% for the six months and three years ended June 30, 2003, respectively.
