S.Y. BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

 

(1)                     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (US GAAP) for complete financial statements.  The consolidated financial statements of S.Y. Bancorp, Inc. (“Bancorp”) and its subsidiary reflect all adjustments (consisting only of adjustments of a normal recurring nature) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of financial condition and results of operations for the interim periods.

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of S.Y. Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Stock Yards Bank & Trust Company (“Bank”).  S.Y. Bancorp Capital Trust II is a Delaware statutory trust that is a wholly-owned unconsolidated finance subsidiary of S.Y. Bancorp, Inc. Significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

A description of other significant accounting policies is presented in the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2011 included in S.Y. Bancorp, Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.  Certain reclassifications have been made in the prior year financial statements to conform to current year classifications.

 

Interim results for the three month period ended March 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Management has identified the accounting policy related to the allowance and provision for loan losses as critical to the understanding of Bancorp’s results of operations and discussed this conclusion with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.  Since the application of this policy requires significant management assumptions and estimates, it could result in materially different amounts to be reported if conditions or underlying circumstances were to change.  Assumptions include many factors such as changes in borrowers’ financial condition which can change quickly or historical loss ratios related to certain loan portfolios which may or may not be indicative of future losses.  To the extent that management’s assumptions prove incorrect, the results from operations could be materially affected by a higher or lower provision for loan losses.  The accounting policy related to the allowance for loan losses is applicable to the commercial banking segment of Bancorp.

 

Additionally, management has identified the accounting policy related to accounting for income taxes as critical to the understanding of Bancorp’s results of operations and discussed this conclusion with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.  The objectives of accounting for income taxes are to recognize the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in an entity’s financial statements or tax returns.  Judgment is required in assessing the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in Bancorp’s financial statements or tax returns. Fluctuations in the actual outcome of these future tax consequences, including the effects of periodic IRS and state agency examinations, could materially impact Bancorp’s financial position and its results from operations.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (Topic 820)-Fair Value Measurement (ASU 2011-04), to provide a consistent definition of fair value and ensure that the fair value measurement and disclosure requirements are similar between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. ASU 2011-04 changes certain fair value measurement principles and enhances the disclosure requirements particularly for level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2011-04 is effective for Bancorp in its first quarter of fiscal 2012 and was applied prospectively.  The adoption of ASU 2011-04 resulted in additional disclosures in Note 13 and 14.

 

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income, which requires that an entity present the components of net income and comprehensive income in either one or two consecutive financial statements. The ASU eliminates the option to present other comprehensive income in the statement of changes in equity. Entities are required to present reclassification adjustments within other comprehensive income either on the face of the statement that reports other comprehensive income or in the notes to the financial statements. The ASUs is effective for Bancorp in its first quarter of fiscal 2012 and was applied prospectively. The adoption of ASU 2011-05 did not have an impact on the financial statements of Bancorp.

The investment portfolio includes a significant level of obligations of states and political subdivisions.  The issuers of these bonds are generally school districts or essential-service public works projects.  The issuers are concentrated in Kentucky, with a small percentage in Indiana and Ohio. Each of these securities has a rating of A or better by a recognized bond rating agency.

 

In addition to the available for sale portfolio, investment securities held by Bancorp include certain securities which are not readily marketable, and are carried at cost. This category includes holdings of Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati (FHLB) stock which are required for borrowing availability and are classified as restricted securities. Other securities consist of a Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) investment which matures in 2014, and is fully collateralized with a government agency security of similar duration.

 

A summary of the available for sale investment securities by maturity groupings as of March 31, 2012 is shown below. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because some issuers have the right to call or prepay obligations. The investment portfolio includes agency mortgage-backed securities, which are guaranteed by agencies such as the FHLMC, FNMA, and GNMA. These securities differ from traditional debt securities primarily in that they may have uncertain principal payment dates and are priced based on estimated prepayment rates on the underlying collateral. Bancorp does not have exposure to subprime originated mortgage-backed or collateralized debt obligation instruments.

Unrealized losses on Bancorp’s investment securities portfolio have not been recognized in income because the securities are of high credit quality, and the decline in fair values is largely due to changes in the prevailing interest rate environment since the purchase date.  The fair value is expected to recover as the securities reach their maturity date and/or the interest rate environment returns to conditions similar to when the securities were purchased.  These investments consist of seven and five separate investment positions as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, which are not considered other-than-temporarily impaired.  Because management does not intend to sell the investments, and it is not likely that Bancorp will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be at maturity, Bancorp does not consider these securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2012.

Differences between the recorded investment amounts and the unpaid principal balance amounts are due to partial charge-offs which have occurred over the life of the loans.

 

Impaired loans include non-accrual loans and loans accounted for as troubled debt restructuring (TDR), which continue to accrue interest. Non-performing loans include the balance of impaired loans plus any loans over 90 days past due and still accruing interest.  Loans past due more than 90 days or more and still accruing interest amounted to $394,000 at March 31, 2012, and $1,160,000 at December 31, 2011.

The loans in the table above are all related to one borrower and have a related allowance allocation of $750,000, which management estimates to be the total loss exposure to this credit.  Prior to 2012, Bancorp had not experienced loans accounted for as TDR that have subsequently defaulted.  At March 31, 2012, loans accounted for as TDR included modifications from original terms due to bankruptcy proceedings and modifications of amortization periods due to customer financial difficulties.  Some loans accounted for as TDR included temporary suspension of principal payments, resulting in payment of interest only.  There has been no forgiveness of principal for loans accounted for as TDR.  Loans accounted for as TDR are individually evaluated for impairment and, at March 31, 2012, had a total allowance allocation of $1,032,000, compared to $1,167,000 at December 31, 2011.

Bancorp categorizes loans into credit risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as:  current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information and current economic trends.  Pass-rated loans included all risk-rated loans other than those classified as special mention, substandard, and doubtful, which are defined below:

 

·                  Special Mention:  Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention.  These potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of repayment prospects for the loan or of the Bank’s credit position at some future date.

 

·                  Substandard:  Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of collateral pledged, if any.  Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize repayment of the debt.  They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

 

·                  Substandard non-performing:  Loans classified as substandard-non-performing have all the characteristics of substandard loans and have been placed on non-accrual status or have been accounted for as troubled debt restructurings.

 

·                  Doubtful:  Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or repayment in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable.

As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the risk categories of loans were as follows:

(4)                     Federal Home Loan Bank Advances

 

The Bank had outstanding borrowings of $60.4 million at March 31, 2012, via six separate advances.  For five advances totaling $60.0 million, all of which are non-callable, interest payments are due monthly, with principal due at maturity.  For the sixth advance of $428,000, principal and interest payments are due monthly based on a 15 year amortization schedule.  In 2010, Bancorp restructured and extended terms on two advances with FHLB resulting in lower interest cost over the remaining term of these advances.  Prepayment penalties totaling $1.3 million were incurred.  In accordance with US GAAP, prepayment penalties associated with the modification of advances are to be amortized over the life of the new advances, and are recorded as interest expense, resulting in effective interest rates greater than the contractual rate paid to FHLB.

Advances from the FHLB are collateralized by certain commercial and residential real estate mortgage loans under a blanket mortgage collateral agreement and FHLB stock. The Bank views the borrowings as an effective alternative to higher cost time deposits to fund loan growth.  At March 31, 2012, the amount of available credit from the FHLB totaled $88.0 million.

 

(5)                     Goodwill and Intangible Assets

 

US GAAP requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives not be amortized, but instead be tested for impairment at least annually.  Annual evaluations have resulted in no charges for impairment.  Bancorp currently has goodwill from the acquisition of a bank in southern Indiana in the amount of $682,000.  This goodwill is assigned to the commercial banking segment of Bancorp.

 

Mortgage servicing rights (MSRs) are amortized in proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing income, considering appropriate prepayment assumptions.  MSRs are evaluated quarterly for impairment by comparing the carrying value to the fair value.  The estimated fair values of MSRs at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 were $2,614,000 and $2,292,000, respectively.  The total outstanding principal balances of loans serviced for others were $299,225,000 and $287,579,000 at March 31, 2012, and December 31, 2011 respectively.

 

Changes in the net carrying amount of MSRs for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 are shown in the following table.

(6)                     Defined Benefit Retirement Plan

 

The Bank sponsors an unfunded, non-qualified, defined benefit retirement plan for four key officers (two current, and two retired), and has no plans to increase the number of participants.  Benefits vest based on 20 years of service.  The actuarially determined pension costs are expensed and accrued over the service period, and benefits are paid from the Bank’s assets.  The net periodic benefits costs, which include interest cost and amortization of net losses, totaled $35,000 and $31,000, for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

(7)                     Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

 

As of March 31, 2012, Bancorp had various commitments outstanding that arose in the normal course of business, including standby letters of credit and commitments to extend credit, which are properly not reflected in the consolidated financial statements. In management’s opinion, commitments to extend credit of $349.7 million including standby letters of credit of $14.2 million represent normal banking transactions, and no significant losses are anticipated to result from these commitments as of March 31, 2012. Commitments to extend credit were $332.2 million, including standby letters of credit of $13.3 million, as of December 31, 2011.  Bancorp’s maximum exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to these commitments is represented by the contractual amount of these instruments. Bancorp uses the same credit and collateral policies in making commitments and conditional guarantees as for on-balance sheet instruments. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses. Commitments to extend credit are mainly made up of commercial lines of credit, construction and home equity credit lines. Since some of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Bancorp evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case by case basis. The amount of collateral obtained is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, equipment, and real estate.

 

Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees written are conditional commitments issued by Bancorp to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support private borrowing arrangements. Standby letters of credit generally have maturities of one to two years.

 

To provide service to commercial accounts, Bancorp provides customers with swap contracts and letters of credits with other financial institutions.  Accordingly, Bancorp has entered into agreements to guarantee performance of several customers’ contracts with other financial institutions. Bancorp will make payments under these agreements if a customer defaults on its obligations to the other financial institutions. The terms of the agreements range from 1 to 11 months. The maximum potential future payment guaranteed by Bancorp cannot be readily estimated because it is dependent upon the fair value of the contracts at the time of default. If an event of default on all contracts had occurred at March 31, 2012, Bancorp would have been required to make payments of approximately $490,000. No payments have ever been required as a result of default on these contracts. These agreements are normally collateralized — generally with real properties, equipment, inventories and receivables — by the customer, which limits Bancorp’s credit risk associated with the agreements.

 

Also, as of March 31, 2012, there were pending legal actions and proceedings in which claims for damages are asserted. Management, after discussion with legal counsel, believes the ultimate result of these legal actions and proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or results of operations of Bancorp.

 

(8)                     Preferred Stock

 

Bancorp has a class of preferred stock (no par value; 1,000,000 shares authorized), the relative rights, preferences and other terms of which or any series within the class will be determined by the Board of Directors prior to any issuance.  This preferred stock was established in connection with a shareholders’ rights plan adopted in 2003 and would be issued upon the occurrence of certain triggering events.  None of this stock had been issued to date.

 

18



 

(9)                     Stock-Based Compensation

 

The fair value of all new and modified awards granted, net of estimated forfeitures, is recognized as compensation expense over the respective service period.  Forfeiture estimates are based on historical experience.

 

Bancorp currently has one stock-based compensation plan.  Initially, in the 2005 Stock Incentive Plan, there were 735,000 shares of common stock reserved for issuance of stock based awards.  In 2010, shareholders approved a proposal to amend the 2005 Stock Incentive Plan to reserve an additional 700,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the plan.  As of March 31, 2012, there were 553,384 shares available for future awards.

 

Bancorp’s 1995 Stock Incentive Plan expired in 2005; however, options granted under this plan expire as late as 2015.  Options and stock appreciation rights (SARs) granted generally have been subject to a vesting schedule of 20% per year.  Restricted shares generally vest over three to five years.  All awards under both plans have been granted at an exercise price equal to the market value of common stock at the time of grant; options and SARs expire ten years after the grant date unless forfeited due to employment termination.

 

Bancorp has recognized stock-based compensation expense, within salaries and employee benefits in the consolidated statements of income, as follows:

Bancorp expects to record an additional $1,193,000 of stock-based compensation expense in 2012 for equity grants outstanding as of March 31, 2012.  As of March 31, 2012, Bancorp has $4,403,000 of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense that will be recorded as compensation expense over the next five years as awards vest.  Bancorp received cash of $130,000 and $208,000 from the exercise of options during the first three months of 2012 and 2011, respectively.

 

The fair value of Bancorp’s stock options and SARs is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, a leading formula for calculating the value of stock options and SARs.  This model requires the input of subjective assumptions, changes to which can materially affect the fair value estimate.  The fair value of restricted shares is determined by Bancorp’s closing stock price on the date of grant.

Expected life of options and SARs (in years)

7.5

 

 

The expected life of options and SARs is based on actual experience of past like-term options.  All outstanding options have a 10-year contractual term.  Bancorp evaluated historical exercise and post-vesting termination behavior when determining the expected life for options granted during 2012 and 2011.

 

The dividend yield and expected volatility are based on historical information corresponding to the expected life of options and SARs granted.  The expected volatility is the volatility of the underlying shares for the expected term on a monthly basis.  The risk free interest rate is the implied yield currently available on U. S. Treasury issues with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the options.

In the first quarter of 2012, Bancorp granted 97,929 SARs at the current market price of $22.86 and a Black-Scholes fair value of $3.93. In the first quarter of 2012, Bancorp granted 55,656 shares of restricted common stock at the weighted average current market price of $22.65.  In the first quarter of 2012 and 2011, Bancorp awarded performance-based restricted stock units (RSUs) with fair values of $20.57 and $21.99, respectively to executive officers of the Bank, the three-year performance period for which began January 1 of the award year. Bancorp believes the most likely vesting of all RSUs will be 39,525 shares of common stock.  No stock options have been granted since 2007.

(11)              Segments

 

The Bank’s, and thus Bancorp’s, principal activities include commercial banking and investment management and trust.  Commercial banking provides a full range of loan and deposit products to individual consumers and businesses.  Commercial banking also includes the Bank’s mortgage origination and securities brokerage activity.  Investment management and trust provides wealth management services including investment management, trust and estate administration, and retirement plan services.

 

The financial information for each business segment reflects that which is specifically identifiable or allocated based on an internal allocation method. Income taxes have been allocated to the investment management and trust segment based on the effective marginal tax rate; all reconciling items to the effective tax rate have been allocated to the commercial banking segment. The provision for loan losses has been allocated to the commercial banking segment.  The measurement of the performance of the business segments is based on the management structure of the Bank and is not necessarily comparable with similar information for any other financial institution. The information presented is also not necessarily indicative of the segments’ operations if they were independent entities.

US GAAP provides guidance on financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken, or expected to be taken, in tax returns.  As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits was $104,000 and $101,000, respectively.  If recognized, the tax benefits would reduce tax expense and accordingly, increase net income.  The amount of unrecognized tax benefits may increase or decrease in the future for various reasons including adding amounts for current tax year positions, expiration of open income tax returns due to statutes of limitation, changes in management’s judgment about the level of uncertainty, status of examination, litigation and legislative activity and the addition or elimination of uncertain tax positions.

 

Bancorp’s policy is to report interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.  As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the amount accrued for the potential payment of interest and penalties was $8,000 and $7,000, respectively.

 

(13)              Fair Value Measurements

 

Bancorp follows the provisions of the authoritative guidance for fair value measurements.  This guidance is definitional and disclosure oriented and addresses how companies should approach measuring fair value when required by US GAAP. The guidance prescribes various disclosures about financial statement categories and amounts which are measured at fair value, if such disclosures are not already specified elsewhere in US GAAP.

 

22



 

The authoritative guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between participants at the measurement date.  The guidance also establishes a hierarchy to group assets and liabilities carried at fair value in three levels based upon the markets in which the assets and liabilities trade and the reliability of assumptions used to determine fair value. These levels are:

 

·                  Level 1               Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.

 

·                  Level 2               Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.

 

·                  Level 3               Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions would reflect internal estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques could include pricing models, discounted cash flows and other similar techniques.

 

Bancorp’s policy is to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in fair value measurements. Where there exists limited or no observable market data, Bancorp uses its own estimates generally considering characteristics of the asset/liability, the current economic and competitive environment and other factors. For this reason, results cannot be determined with precision and may not be realized on an actual sale or immediate settlement of the asset or liability.

 

Bancorp’s investment securities available for sale and interest rate swaps are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.  Other accounts including mortgage loans held for sale, mortgage servicing rights, impaired loans and other real estate owned may be recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis, generally in the application of lower of cost or market adjustments or write-downs of specific assets.

 

The portfolio of investment securities available for sale is comprised of U.S. Treasury and other U.S government obligations, debt securities of U.S. government-sponsored corporations, mortgage-backed securities, obligations of state and political subdivisions, and trust preferred securities of other banks.  Trust preferred securities are priced using quoted prices of identical securities in an active market.  These measurements are classified as Level 1 in the hierarchy above.  All other securities are priced using standard industry models or matrices with various assumptions such as yield curves, volatility, prepayment speeds, default rates, time value, credit rating and market prices for the instruments. These assumptions are generally observable in the market place and can be derived from or supported by observable data. These measurements are classified as Level 2 in the hierarchy above.

 

Interest rate swaps are valued using primarily Level 2 inputs. Fair value measurements are obtained from an outside pricing service. Prices obtained are generally based on dealer quotes, benchmark forward yield curves, and other relevant observable market data. For purposes of potential valuation adjustments to derivative positions, Bancorp evaluates the credit risk of its counterparties as well as its own credit risk. To date, Bancorp has not realized any losses due to a counterparty’s inability to perform and the change in value of derivative assets and liabilities attributable to credit risk was not significant during 2012.

Bancorp did not have any financial instruments classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2012 or December 31, 2011.

 

Mortgage loans held for sale are recorded at the lower of cost or market value. The portfolio is comprised of residential real estate loans and fair value is based on specific prices of underlying contracts for sales to investors.  These measurements are classified as Level 2.  Because the fair value of the loans held for sale exceeded their carrying value, they are not included in either table below for March 31, 2012 or December 31, 2011.

 

MSRs are recorded at fair value upon capitalization, are amortized to correspond with estimated servicing income, and are periodically assessed for impairment based on fair value at the reporting date.  Fair value is based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated net servicing income. The model incorporates assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income. These measurements are classified as Level 3.  At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 there was no valuation allowance for the mortgage servicing rights, as the fair value exceeded the cost.  Accordingly, the MSRs are not included in either table below for March 31, 2012 or December 31, 2011.

 

25



 

Other real estate owned, which is carried at the lower of cost or fair value, is periodically assessed for impairment based on fair value at the reporting date.  Fair value is determined from external appraisals using judgments and estimates of external professionals.  Many of these inputs are not observable and, accordingly, these measurements are classified as Level 3.  At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the carrying value of other real estate owned was $8,550,000 and $7,773,000, respectively.  Other real estate owned is not included in either table below, as the fair value of the properties exceeded their carrying value at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

 

For impaired loans in the table below, the fair value is calculated as the carrying value of only loans with a specific valuation allowance, less the specific allowance.  As of March 31, 2012, total impaired loans with a valuation allowance were $11.8 million, and the specific allowance totaled $3.7 million, resulting in a fair value of $8.1 million, compared to total impaired loans with a valuation allowance of $12.6 million, and the specific allowance allocation totaling $2.6 million, resulting in a fair value of $10.0 million at December 31, 2011.  The losses represent the change in the specific allowances for the period indicated.

In the case of the securities portfolio, Bancorp monitors the valuation technique utilized by pricing agencies to ascertain when transfers between levels have occurred.  The nature of the remaining assets and liabilities is such that transfers in and out of any level are expected to be rare.  For the three months ended March 31, 2012, there were no transfers between Levels 1, 2, or 3.

Management used the following methods and assumptions to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument for which it is practicable to estimate the value.

 

Cash, Short-term investments, Accrued interest receivable/payable and Short-term borrowings

 

For these short-term instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

 

Securities

 

For securities, fair value equals quoted market price, if available. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities or dealer quotes.

 

Federal Home Loan Bank stock and other securities

 

For these securities without readily available market values, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

 

28



 

Mortgage loans held for sale

 

The fair value of mortgage loans held for sale is determined by market quotes for each loan based on loan type, term, rate, size and the borrower’s credit score.

 

Loans, net

 

US GAAP prescribes the exit price concept for estimating fair value of loans.  Because there is not a liquid market (exit price) for trading the predominant types of loans in Bancorp’s portfolio, the fair value of loans is estimated by discounting future cash flows using current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities (e.g. entrance price).

 

Interest rate swaps

 

Fair value measurements are obtained from an outside pricing service. Prices obtained are generally based on dealer quotes, benchmark forward yield curves, and other relevant observable market data.

 

Deposits

 

The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts, and certain money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of fixed-rate certificates of deposits is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

 

Long-term borrowings

 

The fair value of long-term borrowings is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using estimates of the current market rate for instruments with similar terms and remaining maturities.

 

Commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit

 

The fair values of commitments to extend credit are estimated using fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements and the creditworthiness of the customers. The fair values of standby letters of credit are based on fees currently charged for similar agreements or the estimated cost to terminate them or otherwise settle the obligations with the counterparties at the reporting date.

 

Limitations

 

The fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market information and information about the financial instruments. Because no market exists for a significant portion of Bancorp’s financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Therefore, the calculated fair value estimates in many instances cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, may not be realizable in a current sale of the instrument.  Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

(15)              Regulatory Matters

 

Bancorp and the Bank are subject to various capital requirements prescribed by banking regulations and administered by federal banking agencies. Under these requirements, Bancorp and the Bank must meet minimum amounts and percentages of Tier I and total capital, as defined, to risk weighted assets and Tier I capital to average assets. Risk weighted assets are determined by applying certain risk weightings prescribed by the regulations to various categories of assets and off-balance sheet commitments. Capital and risk weighted assets may be further subject to qualitative judgments by regulators as to components, risk weighting and other factors. Failure to meet the capital requirements can result in certain mandatory, and possibly discretionary, corrective actions prescribed by the regulations or determined to be necessary by the regulators, which could materially affect the consolidated financial statements. Bancorp and the Bank met all capital requirements to which they were subject as of March 31, 2012.

 

The following table sets forth Bancorp’s and the Bank’s risk based capital amounts and ratios as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

Item 2.     Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

This item discusses the results of operations for S.Y. Bancorp, Inc. (“Bancorp” or “Company”), and its subsidiary, Stock Yards Bank & Trust Company (“Bank”) for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and compares this period with the same period of the previous year. Unless otherwise indicated, all references in this discussion to the Bank include Bancorp. In addition, the discussion describes the significant changes in the financial condition of Bancorp and the Bank that have occurred during the first three months of 2012 compared to the year ended December 31, 2011. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes presented in Part 1, Item 1 of this report.

 

This report contains forward-looking statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act that involve risks and uncertainties. Although Bancorp believes the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements contained herein are reasonable, any of these assumptions could be inaccurate. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from results discussed in forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to the following: economic conditions both generally and more specifically in the markets in which Bancorp and the Bank operate; competition for Bancorp’s customers from other providers of financial services; government legislation and regulation which change from time to time and over which Bancorp has no control; changes in interest rates; material unforeseen changes in liquidity, results of operations, or financial condition of Bancorp’s customers; and other risks detailed in Bancorp’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the control of Bancorp.

 

Overview of 2012 through March 31

 

Bancorp completed the first quarter of 2012 with net income of $6.50 million or 18% more than the comparable period of 2011.  The increase is primarily due to an improvement in net interest income, higher non-interest income, and decreasing non-interest expenses. Diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of 2012 were $0.47 compared to the first quarter of 2011 at $0.40.  For purposes of comparability and to provide additional insight into the strength of Bancorp’s operations, it should be noted that first quarter 2012 earnings included a gain on an investment in a domestic private investment fund, which contributed approximately $0.03 per diluted share after tax to the Bancorp’s first quarter earnings (the fund’s contribution to earnings in the year-earlier quarter was less than $0.01 per diluted share).  Excluding this gain, net income for the first quarter of 2012 on an adjusted basis, which is a non-GAAP measure, was $6.10 million or $0.44 per diluted share, reflecting an increase of 10% from the first quarter of 2011.  See the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section for details on reconcilement to US GAAP measures.

 

As is the case with most banks, the primary source of Bancorp’s revenue is net interest income and fees from various financial services provided to customers.  Net interest income is the difference between interest income earned on loans, investment securities and other interest earning assets less interest expense on deposit accounts and other interest bearing liabilities.  Loan volume and the interest rates earned on those loans are critical to overall profitability. Similarly deposit volume is crucial to funding loans and rates paid on deposits directly impact profitability.  Business volumes are influenced by overall economic factors including market interest rates, business spending, consumer confidence and competitive conditions within the marketplace.

 

Year-over-year total loans increased $14 million or 1%, and this resulted in growth in interest income.  Increased loan volume more than offset the negative effect of the declining interest rates on loans over the past year.  The average rate earned on assets decreased in the first quarter of 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 as the rates earned on loans and investments declined.  Despite deposit growth to support loan growth, interest expense declined due to lower funding costs on deposits and borrowings.  Rates paid on liabilities decreased approximately the same as rates declined on assets, contributing to an unchanged net interest spread and margin compared to the first three months of 2011.

The magnitude of its investment management and trust revenue distinguishes Bancorp from other similarly sized community banks, making total non-interest income a continuing key contributor to earnings in the first quarter of 2012.  Income from investment management and trust services, which constitutes an average of 40% of non-interest income, was virtually unchanged in the first quarter of 2012 compared to the same period in 2011. Trust assets under management rose to $1.84 billion at March 31, 2012, compared to $1.74 billion at December 31, 2011.   While fees are based on market values, because of asset allocation and diversification of asset classes in customer accounts, they typically do not fluctuate directly with the overall stock market.  Accounts typically contain fixed income and equity asset classes, which generally react inversely to each other.  Nonrecurring fees such as estate, financial planning, insurance, and some retirement fees are not affected by the fluctuations in the market.  The mortgage division had a strong first quarter, with a 93% increase in gains on the sales of mortgage loans compared with the first quarter of 2011.  This reflected a 44% increase in mortgage loans processed relating to home purchase activity — a welcome sign that the housing market may be strengthening.  Bancorp experienced increases in service charge income, and gains on sales of mortgage loans, as well as an improvement in the value of Bancorp’s investment in a domestic private investment fund.  Non-interest income as a percentage of total revenues was 33% in the first quarter of 2012, compared to 32% in the first quarter of 2011.

 

Lower non-interest expense in the first quarter of 2012 was due to decreases in FDIC insurance and other non-interest expense, partially offset by increases in personnel costs, reflecting higher staffing levels and normal salary increases.

 

Also impacting 2012 results, Bancorp’s provision for loan losses increased to $4.1 million in the first quarter compared to $2.8 million in the first quarter of 2011, primarily due to the possibility of further deterioration in several significant loans currently on the Bank’s credit watch list.  The provision for loan losses is calculated after considering credit quality factors, and ultimately relies on an overall internal analysis of the risk in the loan portfolio. The provision results from an allowance methodology driven by risk ratings which reflect the ongoing economic stress on borrowers from 2008 through 2012.  Management continues to be concerned that the prolonged economic downturn and prospects for uncertain recovery will continue to take a toll on Bancorp’s loan portfolio and underlying collateral values, extending its impact to lending relationships that have to date not been identified.  Bancorp’s allowance for loan losses was 2.04% of total loans at March 31, 2012, compared with 1.93% of total loans at December 31, 2011, and 1.78% at March 31, 2011.

 

Tangible common equity (TCE), a non-GAAP measure, is a measure of a company’s capital which is useful in evaluating the quality and adequacy of capital. The ratio of tangible common equity to total tangible assets was 9.37% as of March 31, 2012, compared to 9.11% at December 31, 2011.  See the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section for details on reconcilement to US GAAP measures.

a)             Results Of Operations

 

Net income of $6,502,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 increased $1,011,000, or 18.4%, from $5,491,000 for the comparable 2011 period.  Basic net income per share was $0.47 for the first quarter of 2012, an increase of 17.5% from the $0.40 for the first quarter of 2011.  Net income per share on a diluted basis was $0.47 for the first quarter of 2012, compared to $0.40 for the first quarter of 2011; a 17.5% increase.  Annualized return on average assets and annualized return on average stockholders’ equity were 1.29% and 13.70%, respectively, for the first quarter of 2012, compared to 1.17% and 12.88%, respectively, for the same period in 2011.

Notes to the average balance and interest rate tables:

 

·                  Net interest income, the most significant component of the Bank’s earnings is total interest income less total interest expense. The level of net interest income is determined by the mix and volume of interest earning assets, interest bearing deposits and borrowed funds, and changes in interest rates.

 

·                  Net interest spread is the difference between the taxable equivalent rate earned on interest earning assets less the rate expensed on interest bearing liabilities.

 

·                  Net interest margin represents net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis as a percentage of average interest earning assets.  Net interest margin is affected by both the interest rate spread and the level of non-interest bearing sources of funds, primarily consisting of demand deposits and stockholders’ equity.

 

·                  Interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis includes the additional amount of interest income that would have been earned if investments in certain tax-exempt interest earning assets had been made in assets subject to federal taxes yielding the same after-tax income.  Interest income on municipal securities and loans have been calculated on a fully tax equivalent basis using a federal income tax rate of 35%.  The approximate tax equivalent adjustments to interest income were $371,000 and $394,000, respectively, for the three month periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.

 

·                  Average balances for loans include the principal balance of non-accrual loans and exclude participation loans accounted for as secured borrowings.

 

Fully taxable equivalent net interest income of $18.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 increased $1.2 million, or 6.8%, from $17.7 million when compared to the same period last year. Net interest spread and net interest margin were 3.88% and 4.07%, respectively, for the first quarter of 2012 and 3.87% and 4.08%, respectively, for the first quarter of 2011.

 

The net interest margin for the first quarter of 2012 included the impact of penalties paid by customers due to the early repayment of several large loans; these prepayment penalties added an estimated seven basis points to the first quarter margin.  Excluding this impact, the net interest margin reflected an ongoing low interest rate environment, a competitive loan market, and Bancorp’s excess liquidity, all of which are likely to continue in the foreseeable future.  Increasing competitive loan pricing could negatively impact net interest margin in future quarters.

 

Approximately $584 million, or 38%, of the Bank’s loans are variable rate; most of these loans are indexed to the prime rate and may reprice as that rate changes.  However, approximately $418 million, or 72% of variable rate loans, have reached their contractual floor of 4% or higher.  Approximately $67 million or 11% of variable rate loans have contractual floors below 4%.  The remaining $99 million or 17% of variable rate loans have no contractual floor. The Bank intends to establish floors whenever possible upon renewal of the loans.  The Bank’s variable rate loans are primarily comprised of commercial lines of credit and real estate loans.  At inception, most of the Bank’s fixed rate loans are priced in relation to the five year Treasury bond.

 

Average earning assets increased $111.6 million or 6.4%, to $1.870 billion for the first three months of 2012 compared to 2011, reflecting growth in the loan portfolio and investment securities.  Average interest bearing liabilities increased $42.1 million, or 2.9%, to $1.469 billion for the first three months of 2012 compared to 2011 primarily due to increases in interest bearing deposits.

Asset/Liability Management and Interest Rate Risk

 

Managing interest rate risk is fundamental for the financial services industry. The primary objective of interest rate risk management is to neutralize effects of interest rate changes on net income. By considering both on and off-balance sheet financial instruments, management evaluates interest rate sensitivity while attempting to optimize net interest income within the constraints of prudent capital adequacy, liquidity needs, market opportunities and customer requirements.

 

Interest Rate Simulation Sensitivity Analysis

 

Bancorp uses an earnings simulation model to estimate and evaluate the impact of an immediate change in interest rates on earnings in a one year forecast. The simulation model is designed to reflect the dynamics of interest earning assets, interest bearing liabilities and off-balance sheet financial instruments. By estimating the effects of interest rate increases and decreases, the model can reveal approximate interest rate risk exposure. The simulation model is used by management to gauge approximate results given a specific change in interest rates at a given point in time.  The model is therefore a tool to indicate earnings trends in given interest rate scenarios and does not indicate actual expected results.  The March 31, 2012 simulation analysis, which shows very little interest rate sensitivity, indicates that an increase in interest rates of 100 to 200 basis points would have a negative effect on net interest income, and a decrease of 100 basis points in interest rates would also have a negative impact. These estimates are summarized below.

Loans indexed to the prime rate, with floors of 4% or higher, comprise approximately 27% of total loans.  Since the prime rate is currently 3.25%, rates would have to increase more than 75 bp before the rates on such loans will rise.  This effect, captured in the simulation analysis above, negatively impacts the effect of rising rates.  Analysis of rates increasing 300 bp or higher indicates a positive effect on net interest income.

 

The scenario of rates decreasing 200 bp is not reasonably possible given current low rates for short-term instruments and most deposits.

 

Undesignated derivative instruments described in Note 13 are recognized on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value, with changes in fair value, due to changes in prevailing interest rates, recorded in other noninterest income. Because of matching terms of offsetting contracts, in addition to collateral provisions which mitigate the impact of non-performance risk, changes in fair value subsequent to initial recognition have a minimal effect on earnings, and are therefore not included in the simulation analysis results above.

 

Provision for Loan Losses

 

The provision for loan losses was $4.1 million for the first three months of 2012 compared to $2.8 million for the same period in 2011 primarily due to the possibility of further deterioration in several significant loans currently on the Bank’s credit watch list.  The provision for loan losses is calculated after considering credit quality factors, and ultimately relies on an overall internal analysis of the risk in the loan portfolio. The provision reflects an allowance methodology that is driven by risk ratings.  Bancorp intends to remain cautious in assessing the potential risk in the loan portfolio. Accordingly, Bancorp expects the allowance

 

35



 

for loan losses to remain at a high level compared with historic amounts until there are clearer signs of a sustained economic recovery, improvement in our customers’ financial conditions, resolution of certain problem credits, and, thus, a reduction in overall credit risk.  Management utilizes loan grading procedures which result in specific allowance allocations for the estimated inherent risk of loss. For all loans graded, but not individually reviewed, a general allowance allocation is computed using factors typically developed over time based on actual loss experience. The specific and general allocations plus consideration of qualitative factors represent management’s best estimate of probable losses contained in the loan portfolio at the evaluation date. Although the allowance for loan losses is comprised of specific and general allocations the entire allowance is available to absorb any credit losses.  Based on this detailed analysis of credit risk, management considers the allowance for loan losses adequate to cover probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio at March 31, 2012.

Total non-interest income increased $1,240,000, or 15.5%, for the first quarter of 2012 compared to the same period in 2011.

 

Investment management and trust services income decreased $47,000, or 1.3%, in the first quarter of 2012, as compared to the same period in 2011, primarily due to a decrease in executor fees and financial planning fees, largely offset by the effect of an increased market value of assets under management.  Most recurring fees earned for managing accounts are based on a percentage of market value on a monthly basis. Some revenues of the investment management and trust department, most notably executor, insurance, and some employee benefit plan-related fees, are non-recurring in nature and the timing of these revenues corresponds with the related administrative activities.  Along with the effects of improving broader investment market conditions, this area of the Bank continued to grow through attraction of new business and retention of existing business, despite normal attrition. Trust assets under management at March 31, 2012 were $1.84 billion, compared to $1.79 billion at March 31, 2011.

 

Service charges on deposit accounts increased $131,000, or 6.8%, in the first quarter of 2012, as compared to the same period in 2011.  Service charge income is driven by transaction volume, which can fluctuate throughout the year.

Bankcard transaction revenue increased $88,000, or 10.0%, in the first quarter of 2012, as compared to the same period in 2011 and primarily represents income the Bank derives from customers’ use of debit cards.  Results in the first quarter of 2012 compared favorably to the same period in 2011 as bankcard transaction volume continues to increase.  Most of this revenue is interchange income based on rates set by service providers in a competitive market.  Beginning in October 2011, this rate was set by the Federal Reserve Board for banks with over $10 billion in assets.  While this threshold indicates Bancorp will not be directly affected, it appears this change will indirectly affect Bancorp as vendors continue to push for lower fees to be paid to all banks. While there are many uncertainties about its effect or ultimately when these changes may take place, the Dodd-Frank legislation may negatively affect this source of income.

 

The Bank’s mortgage banking division originates residential mortgage loans to be sold in the secondary market. Interest rates on the loans sold are locked with the borrower and investor prior to closing the loans, thus Bancorp bears no interest rate risk related to these loans.  The division offers conventional, VA and FHA financing, for purchases and refinances, as well as programs for low-income and first time home buyers. The mortgage banking division also offers home equity conversion or “reverse” mortgages.  Gains on sales of mortgage loans increased $357,000, or 93.5%, in the first quarter of 2012, as compared to the same period in 2011.  Interest rates on mortgage loans directly impact the volume of business transacted by the mortgage banking division. Prevailing mortgage interest rates decreased during late 2011 and remained low into 2012, and as a result refinance volume increased from the first quarter of 2011 to 2012.  In addition to the refinance activity, Bancorp experienced a 44% increase in loans processed relating to purchase activity.

 

Brokerage commissions and fees earned consist primarily of stock, bond and mutual fund sales as well as wrap fees on accounts.  Wrap fees are charges for investment programs that bundle together a suite of services, such as brokerage, advisory, research, and management, and based on a percentage of assets.  Brokerage commissions and fees increased $28,000, or 5.5%, in the first quarter of 2012, as compared to the same period in 2011, corresponding to higher overall brokerage volume.  Bancorp deploys its brokers primarily through its branch network, while larger managed accounts are serviced in the investment management and trust department.

 

Bank Owned Life Insurance (BOLI) income totaled $257,000 for the first three months of 2012, compared to $249,000 for the same period in 2011.  BOLI represents the cash surrender value for life insurance policies on certain key employees who have provided consent for the Bank to be the beneficiary of a portion of such policies.  The related changes in cash surrender value and proceeds received under the policies, none of which have occurred to date, are recorded as non-interest income.  This income helps offset the cost of employee benefits.

 

Other non-interest income increased $675,000, or 129%, in the first quarter of 2012 as compared to the same period in 2011, primarily due to an increase in the value of the domestic private investment fund, as well as a variety of other factors, none of which are individually significant.  The value of Bancorp’s investment increased by $627,000 in the first quarter of 2012, compared to an increase of $106,000 for the same period in 2011.  Primarily because of income statement related volatility, management has chosen to liquidate its investment in this fund as of March 31, 2012.

 

Total non-interest expenses decreased $91,000, or 0.6%, for the first quarter of 2012 as compared to the same period in 2011. Bancorp’s first quarter efficiency ratio was 52.32% compared with 57.66% in the first quarter last year. The first quarter efficiency ratio was lower compared with historic levels primarily due to the aforementioned prepayment penalties and income from the domestic private investment fund.

 

39



 

Salaries and benefits are the largest component of non-interest expenses and increased $652,000, or 7.8%, for the first quarter of 2012, as compared to the same period of 2011, largely due to increased staffing levels, normal increases in salaries and stock-based compensation expense.  Increased staffing levels included senior staff with higher per capita salaries in wealth management, lending and loan administration functions.  At March 31, 2012, the Bank had 480 full time equivalent employees compared to 473 at March 31, 2011.

 

Net occupancy expense increased $139,000, or 11.3%, in the first quarter of 2012, as compared to the same period of 2011 primarily due to an increase in depreciation expense, much of which is attributable to the new operations center location opened in 2011, and significant renovations to the main office campus in 2011. The Bank opened one additional branch location in the Indianapolis market in the first quarter of 2012, after opening no new branch locations in 2011.

 

Data processing expense was $1,313,000 for the first quarter of 2012, compared to $1,137,000 for the same period in 2011 largely due to increased computer equipment depreciation and maintenance costs related to investments in new technology needed to improve the pace of delivery channels and internal resources.  Furniture and equipment expense decreased $63,000 or 17.7% for the first quarter of 2012, as compared to the same period in 2011.  This fluctuation relates to a variety of factors, none of which are individually significant.

 

FDIC insurance expense decreased $270,000, or 43.5%, for the first quarter of 2012 as compared to the same period in 2011.  The decrease is due to a change in the base on which the assessment is calculated and lower assessment rates adopted by the FDIC in the second quarter of 2011.

 

Other non-interest expenses decreased $725,000 or 23.5% in the first quarter of 2012, as compared to the same period in 2011, due largely to non-recurring 2011 $400,000 write-down on a previously foreclosed property, and $312,000 write-down of fixed assets related to a building renovation.  This category also includes legal and professional fees, MSR amortization, advertising, printing, mail and telecommunications, none of which are individually significant.

 

Income Taxes

 

In the first quarter of 2012, Bancorp recorded income tax expense of $2,482,000, compared to $2,202,000 for the same period in 2011.  The effective rate for the three month period was 27.6% in 2012 and 28.6% in 2011. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily due to a 2011 establishment of a reserve for uncertain tax positions for non-deductible life insurance premiums.

 

Commitments

 

Bancorp utilizes a variety of financial instruments in the normal course of business to meet the financial needs of its customers.  These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit.  A discussion of Bancorp’s commitments is included in Note 7.

 

Other commitments discussed in Bancorp’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, have not materially changed since that report was filed, relative to qualitative and quantitative disclosures of fixed and determinable contractual obligations.

b)             Financial Condition

 

Balance Sheet

 

Total assets decreased $12.5 million, or 0.6%, from $2.053 billion on December 31, 2011 to $2.041 billion on March 31, 2012.  The most significant contributor of the decrease in assets was loans, which decreased $13.1 million in the first quarter as the result of several significant early payoffs.  Investment securities decreased $3.5 million in the first quarter as a result of maturing securities, while federal funds sold increased $1.0 million.

 

Total liabilities decreased $16.6 million, or 0.9%, from December 31, 2011 to $1.849 billion on March 31, 2012.  The most significant component of the decrease was federal funds purchased, which decreased $16.6 million, or 44.6%.  Year-end 2011 federal funds purchases included $20 million purchased to cover short-term funding needs.  Subordinated debentures decreased $10 million to $30.9 million as Bancorp exercised its call option and prepaid the subordinated debentures without penalty in the first quarter of 2012.  Deposits increased $9.6 million or 0.6%, while securities sold under agreement to repurchase decreased $6.5 million or 9.9%.  Other liabilities increased $6.9 million or 16.2% as Bancorp purchased securities in the first quarter of 2012 which were scheduled to settle in the second quarter of 2012.

Bancorp enters into loan participation agreements with correspondent banks in the ordinary course of business to diversify credit risk.  For certain participation loans, Bancorp has retained effective control of the loans, typically by restricting the participating institutions from pledging or selling their share of the loan without permission from Bancorp.  US GAAP requires these loans to be recorded as secured borrowings.  These loans are included in the commercial and industrial and real estate mortgage loan totals above, and a corresponding liability is recorded in other liabilities.  At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the total loans of this nature were $31.3 million and $30.3 million respectively.

Bancorp has seven borrowers, all in our primary market, who account for $11.7 million or 61% of total non-accrual loans.  Each of these loans is secured predominantly by commercial or residential real estate, and management estimates minimal loss exposure after consideration of collateral.

 

42



 

Effects of Declines in Real Estate Collateral Values

 

Bancorp’s principal market, Louisville, has had home values decline less than most markets nationwide according to the Federal Housing Finance Agency.  However, continued decline in collateral values, including commercial properties, impacts Bancorp’s ability to collect on certain real estate loans when borrowers are dependent on the values of the real estate as a source of cash flow.  As borrowers experience difficulty, Bancorp evaluates their cash flow as well as the collateral value to determine prospects for collection.  On an individual basis, loans are evaluated for changes in risk ratings, thereby affecting the provision and allowance for loan losses. Home equity loans are typically underwritten with consideration of the borrower’s overall financial strength as a primary payment source, with some reliance on the value of the collateral.  Bancorp typically requires appraisals on real estate at application and evaluates the transaction upon renewal to determine if market conditions and other factors such as cash flow warrant an updated valuation.  Additionally, Bancorp evaluates the collateral condition and value upon classification as an impaired loan and upon foreclosure.  Due to the above factors, the effects of declines in real estate collateral value have been considered in the allowance for loan losses.

 

c)              Liquidity

 

The role of liquidity management is to ensure funds are available to meet depositors’ withdrawal and borrowers’ credit demands while at the same time maximizing profitability. This is accomplished by balancing changes in demand for funds with changes in the supply of those funds. Liquidity is provided by short-term liquid assets that can be converted to cash, investment securities available for sale, various lines of credit available to Bancorp, and the ability to attract funds from external sources, principally deposits.  Management believes it has the ability to increase deposits at any time by offering rates slightly higher than the market rate.

 

Bancorp’s most liquid assets are comprised of cash and due from banks, available for sale marketable investment securities and federal funds sold.  Federal funds sold totaled $23.0 million at March 31, 2012. These investments normally have overnight maturities and are used for general daily liquidity purposes. The fair value of the available for sale investment portfolio was $348.7 million at March 31, 2012, and included an unrealized net gain of $9.1 million. The portfolio includes maturities of approximately $110.6 million over the next twelve months, which, combined with federal funds sold, offer substantial resources to meet either new loan demand or reductions in Bancorp’s deposit funding base. Bancorp pledges portions of its investment securities portfolio to secure public fund deposits, cash balances of certain investment management and trust accounts, and securities sold under agreements to repurchase. At March 31, 2012, total investment securities pledged for these purposes comprised 35% of the available for sale investment portfolio, leaving $225.0 million of unpledged securities.

 

Bancorp has a large base of core customer deposits, defined as demand, savings, and money market deposit accounts. At March 31, 2012, such deposits totaled $1.237 billion and represented 76% of Bancorp’s total deposits. Because these core deposits are less volatile and are often tied to other products of Bancorp through long lasting relationships they do not put heavy pressure on liquidity.  However, many of Bancorp’s overall deposit balances are historically high.  When market conditions improve, these balances will likely decrease, putting some strain on Bancorp’s liquidity position.  As of March 31, 2012, Bancorp had only $4.6 million or 0.3% of total deposits, in brokered deposits, which are entirely comprised of Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service (CDARs) deposits, a program which allows Bancorp to offer FDIC insurance up to $50 million in deposits per customer through reciprocal agreements with other network participating banks.

 

With regard to credit available to Bancorp, the Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati (“FHLB”).  As a member, the Bank has access to credit products of the FHLB.  As of March 31,

 

43



 

2012, the Bank’s additional borrowing capacity with the FHLB was approximately $88.0 million.  Additionally, the Bank had federal funds purchased lines with correspondent banks totaling $85.0 million.

 

Bancorp’s principal source of cash revenues is dividends paid to it as the sole shareholder of the Bank.  At March 31, 2012, the Bank may pay up to $58.5 million in dividends to Bancorp without regulatory approval subject to the ongoing capital requirements of the Bank.

 

d)             Capital Resources

 

At March 31, 2012, stockholders’ equity totaled $191.8 million, an increase of $4.1 million since December 31, 2011.  See the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity for further detail of the changes in equity since the end of 2011.  Accumulated other comprehensive income which, for Bancorp, consists of net unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale and a minimum pension liability adjustment, net of taxes, totaled $5.4 million at March 31, 2012 and $5.5 million at December 31, 2011.  The change since year end is a reflection of maturities within the investment portfolio and the effect of change in interest rates on the valuation of the Bank’s portfolio of securities available for sale.  The unrealized pension liability is adjusted annually by reference to updated actuarial data.

 

Bank holding companies and their subsidiary banks are required by regulators to meet risk based capital standards.  These standards, or ratios, measure the relationship of capital to a combination of balance sheet and off-balance sheet risks.  The values of both balance sheet and off-balance sheet items are adjusted to reflect credit risks. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 10%; a Tier 1 ratio of at least 6%; and a leverage ratio of at least 5%.  The following table sets forth Bancorp’s and the Bank’s risk based capital ratios as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

The decrease in total risk-based capital ratios is attributable to the aforementioned payoff of $10 million in subordinated debentures in the first quarter of 2012.  Importantly, the strengthening of Bancorp’s capital position has occurred concurrently with growth in assets, not as a result of shrinkage of the balance sheet. Bancorp intends to maintain capital ratios at these historically high levels at least until such time as the economy demonstrates sustained improvement.

 

44



 

e)              Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

In addition to capital ratios defined by banking regulators, Bancorp considers various ratios when evaluating capital adequacy, including adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per diluted share, tangible common equity to tangible assets, and tangible common equity per share, all of which are non-GAAP measures.  Bancorp provides non-GAAP earnings information to improve the comparability of its results and provide additional insight into the strength of Bancorp’s operations.  Bancorp provides the tangible common equity ratios because of their widespread use by investors as means to evaluate capital adequacy, as they reflect the level of capital available to withstand unexpected market conditions.  Because US GAAP does not include capital ratio measures, there are no US GAAP financial measures comparable to these ratios.

 

The following table reconciles Bancorp’s calculation of the measures to amounts reported under US GAAP.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

Information required by this item is included in Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

 

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures

 

Bancorp maintains disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that it is able to collect the information it is required to disclose in reports it files with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and to record, process, summarize and report this information within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC.  Based on their evaluation of Bancorp’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the quarterly period covered by this report, the Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officers believe that these controls and procedures are effective to ensure that Bancorp is able to collect, process and disclose the information it is required to disclose in reports it files with the SEC within the required time periods.

 

Based on the evaluation of Bancorp’s disclosure controls and procedures by the Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officers, there were no significant changes during the quarter ended March 31, 2012 in Bancorp’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, Bancorp’s internal control over financial reporting.
