SUMMIT FINANCIAL GROUP REPORTS RECORD THIRD QUARTER AND YEAR-TO-DATE EARNINGS

Assets Surpass $1 Billion

MOOREFIELD, W.Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)—October 19, 2005—Summit Financial Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: SMMF) today reported third quarter 2005 net income of $3.3 million, an increase of 4.7 percent from the $3.1 million reported for the third quarter of 2004. Diluted earnings per share were $0.45 compared with $0.44 for the prior-year quarter, up 2.3 percent. The increase reflects solid growth in net interest income and well-controlled expense growth. For the third quarter of 2005, the returns on average shareholders' equity and average assets were 18.24 percent and 1.33 percent, respectively, compared with prior-year period ratios of 20.06 percent and 1.46 percent.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, Summit reported net income of $8.8 million, an increase of 6.7 percent from the $8.3 million reported for the first nine months of 2004. Diluted earnings per share were $1.22 compared with $1.16 for the prior-year period, up 5.2 percent. The increase reflects solid revenue growth, both from community banking and mortgage banking activities, partially offset by higher costs associated with expansion activities. For the first nine months of 2005, the returns on average shareholders' equity and average assets were 16.85 percent and 1.25 percent, respectively, compared with prior-year period ratios of 18.31 percent and 1.33 percent.

H. Charles Maddy, III, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Our community banking segment experienced record loan growth and demand deposit growth for the quarter. On an annualized basis, loan growth from the linked quarter was in excess of 40 percent, and demand deposits were up nearly 60 percent. Moreover, our recent investments in people and infrastructure have allowed us to achieve these outstanding results and still provide ample capacity for further loan growth. As with many banks in this rate environment, however, profitability is increasingly affected by rising funding costs. We have been successful thus far managing our loan/deposit mix to sustain revenue growth at double-digit levels, and we believe there are still many attractive lending opportunities available to us. As loan demand returns to more normal levels, our reliance on higher cost time and brokered deposits should decline, providing less pressure and greater stability to our margin, as was the case in the second quarter of this year.

Mr. Maddy continued, “We are pleased to report that our mortgage banking segment originated a record volume of mortgages this past quarter, which we sold in the secondary market. However, we anticipate that loan volume will decline on a seasonal basis for the remainder of the year. The $1.9 million in net income we’ve generated year-to-date represents a 12.5 percent improvement over the prior year, and a welcome contribution to our bottom line.”

THIRD QUARTER 2005 CONSOLIDATED RESULTS

Total revenue for the third quarter of 2005, consisting of net interest income plus non-interest income, was $16.3 million, an increase of 4.3 percent over the third quarter of 2004. Net interest income for the quarter increased 10.6 percent above the prior-year third quarter, to $7.8 million, reflecting 14.6 percent growth in average earning assets, partially offset by an 18 basis point drop in the net interest margin to 3.47 percent. Non-interest income for the third quarter of 2005 was $8.5 million, relatively flat compared with the third quarter of 2004. Summit experienced strong growth in service fee income, up 23.7 percent, and other income, up 50.5 percent; but these increases to non-interest income were offset by a 5.5 percent decline in mortgage origination revenue from the Company's mortgage banking unit, Summit Mortgage (formerly known as Summit Financial, LLC), which is discussed below.

Non-interest expense for the third quarter of 2005 was $10.9 million, a 1.0 percent increase over the $10.8 million reported for the third quarter of 2004. Salaries and employee benefits represented the largest category of expense growth, up $380 thousand or 7.5 percent. Declines in other categories reflected Summit’s continued focus on cost control. The efficiency ratio was 65.40 percent for the third quarter of 2005 compared with 67.11 percent for the prior-year period. (The efficiency ratio for the Company's Community Banking Segment, shown below, is a more accurate indicator of its performance compared with other community banks.)

Asset quality remains strong.Net charge-offs were $200,000 for the third quarter of 2005, equivalent to an annualized 0.11 percent of average loans. Nonperforming assets were $1.9 million or 0.18 percent of assets at September 30, 2005, down from $2.6 million or 0.31 percent at September 30, 2004. At period-end, loan loss reserves were 0.79 percent of loans.

Assets at September 30, 2005 were $1.0 billion, an increase of 19.4 percent over the last twelve months. The increase was driven by portfolio loan growth of $144.0 million, up 24.4 percent to $735.4 million. Commercial real estate loans, up $105.4 million or 38.9 percent, were the largest contributors to this growth, and now constitute 51.1 percent of the loan portfolio. Since June 30, 2005, loans increased $69.9 million or 10.5 percent (42.0 percent annualized). According to Mr. Maddy, “Loan growth this quarter was unusually strong, reflecting the increasing contribution of the three lenders we added over the past twelve months.”

Deposits at September 30, 2005 were $628.9 million, an increase of $93.1 million, or 17.4 percent from prior-year third quarter levels. Compared to the June 30, 2005 quarter, deposits increased $63.8 million, or 11.3 percent (45.1 percent annualized).More importantly, core deposits (checking and savings accounts) increased 26.0 percent year-over-year, and 11.3 percent from the June 30, 2005 quarter (45.1 percent annualized). Mr. Maddy commented, “We are doing an exceptional job on the deposit-gathering side of our business; demand deposits increased $30.4 million from the linked quarter, which represents quarterly growth of 14.6 percent (58.2 percent annualized). However, loan demand is stronger still, and we will not turn away opportunities to develop new relationships with attractive borrowers. As a result, our reliance on brokered deposits has increased for the present time.” Growth in demand deposits improved the deposit mix, with demand deposits now accounting for 38.0 percent of total deposits compared with 32.6 percent at September 30, 2004.

Shareholders' equity at period end was $72.4 million, an increase of 11.0 percent over the last twelve months. Common shares outstanding totaled 7,125,820 at September 30, 2005.

THIRD QUARTER 2005 OPERATING SEGMENT RESULTS

Community Banking Financial Performance

Net income for the third quarter of 2005 was $2.8 million, an increase of 13.4 percent from the prior-year quarter. Total revenue increased 15.2 percent to $8.8 million, while non-interest expense increased 14.4 percent to $4.4 million due to staff additions and the recently-opened Warrenton, Virginia branch. The Community Banking segment's efficiency ratio was 53.75 percent compared with 51.68 percent for the prior-year third quarter.

Mortgage Banking Financial Performance

The Company's mortgage banking unit, Summit Mortgage, commenced operations during the third quarter of 2003. This segment originates first mortgages in the Company's community banking markets and fixed-rate debt consolidation second mortgage loans for borrowers nationwide. Loan originations in the third quarter of 2005 were $83.9 million, up 10.6 percent above last year's third quarter. Loan sales were $87.1 million, up 8.9 percent from the 2004 third quarter.

Net income for the third quarter of 2005 was $905,000, an increase of 0.6 percent over the prior-year quarter. Revenue totaled $7.5 million, down from $8.0 million in the prior-year period as a result of changes in the loan mix toward first mortgages, which are less profitable than second mortgages.Non-interest expense declined 9.4 percent to $6.0 million, with lower marketing costs, mainly direct mail, accounting for the improvement.
