Earnings Summary -- Three Months Ended September 30, 2001

For the three months ended September 30, 2001, net interest income increased $0.6 million, or 6.0 percent, to $10.5 million from $9.9 million in the comparable 2000 period. This increase in net interest income is primarily due to an eight basis point increase in the net interest spread and a $70.9 million increase in average interest-earning assets. Net interest income was negatively impacted by the sale of mortgage-backed securities Mortgage-backed securities (MSBs)

Securities backed by a pool of mortgage loans.

, and the income on BOLI is included in Other Income. The income on BOLI amounted to $0.3 million for the third quarter of 2001. As a result of the shifting of $20.0 million of assets from interest-earning assets to Other Assets, interest-earning assets exceeded interest-bearing Adj. 1. interest-bearing - of financial obligations on which interest is paid  liabilities by $84.6 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2001 compared to $95.0 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2000. As a result, despite the eight basis point increase in the net interest spread, the net interest margin only increased one basis point to 3.17 percent in the 2001 third quarter from 3.16 percent in the comparable 2000 quarter. The yield on interest-earning assets declined 19 basis points to 7.70 percent for the quarter ended September 30, 2001 from 7.89 percent in quarter ended September 30, 2000, while the cost of interest-bearing liabilities declined 27 basis points to 4.84 percent for the quarter ended September 30, 2001 from 5.11 percent in the quarter ended September 30, 2000. These decreases were primarily due to the declining interest rate environment experienced during the current year. The yield on interest-earning assets declined less than the cost of interest-bearing liabilities due to an $86.1 million increase in the average balance of the higher-yielding mortgage loan portfolio.

Non-interest income during the third quarter of 2001 increased by $1.0 million to $1.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2001 from $0.3 million for the third quarter of 2000. The increase is due to net gains on the sale of securities and loans of $36,000 in the quarter ended September 30, 2001 compared to net losses on the sale of securities and loans of $0.7 million in the comparable 2000 quarter, the income earned on BOLI, and higher fee income from loan fees and banking services.

Non-interest expense was $5.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001, a decrease of $0.1 million from $6.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000. Management continues to monitor expenditures resulting in efficiency ratios of 49.4 percent and 54.1 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

Earnings Summary -- Nine months Ended September 30, 2001

For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, net interest income increased 1.2 percent to $30.7 million from $30.3 million in the comparable 2000 period. This increase in net interest income is primarily due to a $73.8 million increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets. Net interest income was negatively impacted by the sale of mortgage-backed securities in the third quarter of 2000 and the reinvestment of the proceeds in $20.0 million of BOLI. The investment in BOLI is included in Other Assets, and the income on BOLI is included in Other Income. The income on BOLI amounted to $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The net interest margin declined 14 basis points to 3.15 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 from 3.29 percent in the comparable 2000 period. Despite an increase of $96.5 million in the average balance of the higher yielding mortgage loans, and a three basis point increase in the yield on mortgage loans, the average yield on interest-earning assets declined eight basis points. This decline is due primarily to lower yield on mortgage-backed Mortgage-backed may refer to:
  • Commercial mortgage-backed security, type of bond commonly issued in American security markets
  • Mortgage-backed security, asset-backed security whose cash flows are backed by the payments of a set of mortgages
 and investment securities. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 4.96 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, the same as the comparable 2000 period.

Non-interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 increased by 101.3 percent to $4.6 million from $2.3 million for the comparable 2000 period. The increase is due to net gains on the sale of securities and loans of $0.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared to net losses on the sale of securities and loans of $0.7 million in the comparable prior year period, the income earned on BOLI, and higher fee income from loan fees and banking services.

Non-interest expense increased 1.0 percent to $17.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 as compared to $17.7 million for the comparable 2000 period. Management continues to monitor expenditures resulting in efficiency ratios of 50.7 percent and 52.7 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
