) reported record earnings of $43.8 million for the third quarter of 1995, an increase of 17 percent from the $37.6 million for the third quarter of 1994.

Earnings per share for the third quarter increased to $1.30 compared with $1.11 for the third quarter of 1994. Return on average assets for the quarter ended Sept. 30, 1995, improved to 1.50 percent, and return on average equity improved to 21.32 percent. These financial ratios compare with return on average assets of 1.42 percent and return on average equity of 19.41 percent for the quarter ended Sept. 30, 1994.

For the first nine months, net income totaled $119.2 million, a 4 percent increase from $114.2 million for the first nine months of 1994. Earnings per share for the nine month period were $3.51 in 1995 compared to $3.34 in 1994.

For the nine month period, return on average assets was 1.43 percent and return on average equity was 19.84 percent, compared with 1.45 percent and 20.21 percent, respectively, for the same period in 1994.

Ralph Horn, president and chief executive officer, said, "We are pleased to report another quarter of record earnings. In addition, we achieved an unprecedented return on assets Return on assets (ROA)

Noninterest income

Total noninterest income (excluding securities gains in both periods), which accounted for 56 percent of total revenues in the quarter, was $126.4 million, a 20 percent increase from the previous year. All categories of noninterest income, excluding securities gains, increased from the 1994 third quarter levels.

Mortgage banking noninterest income, as a result of increased originations and the benefit of new accounting rules related to originated servicing rights, increased 29 percent. Noninterest income in the bond division rose 16 percent, reflecting increased volumes over 1994.

Noninterest income from trust services increased 25 percent, demonstrating continued growth in managed assets and the benefits of an accounting change earlier in 1995; bank card income, which includes credit card and merchant processing fees, increased 17 percent solely due to a $1.5 million increase in merchant processing fees from an expansion in our customer base; and income from deposit transactions and cash management increased 8 percent.

Year-to-date, total noninterest income, excluding securities gains in both periods, increased 5 percent from 1994 levels to $354.8 million. For the nine month period, noninterest income in mortgage banking was relatively flat while noninterest income in the bond division decreased four percent, primarily due to unusually favorable fa·vor·a·ble
