Gold Banc Reports Net Earnings of $5.0 Million Compared With Year-Ago $1.8 Million Loss, Announces $20.0 Million Additional Stock Repurchase Authorization.


LEAWOOD, Kan. -- Gold Banc Corporation, Inc. (Nasdaq:GLDB GLDB - General License Database), today announced earnings for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 of $5.0 million or $0.13 per share. This is an increase of $6.8 million over the third quarter 2004 net loss of $1.8 million or $0.05 per share. Year to date earnings were $38.4 million or $1.00 per share compared to $11.8 million or $0.29 per share in the prior year. Additionally, the board of directors authorized an expenditure of up to $20.0 million for the repurchase of common stock, which is supplemental to the $32.0 million of stock previously repurchased this year.

"The third-quarter's underlying performance was achieved despite the recently announced settlement with the IRS which was mitigated by associated recoveries from other parties," explained Chief Executive Officer Mick Aslin. "For instance, net loans and deposits, excluding branch sales, were up 2.8% and 3.7%, respectively, for the quarter, and were up 11.4% and 8.4% year to date, respectively. The net interest margin improved slightly, and our efficiency ratio has improved dramatically. Even so, our core earnings per share fell $0.03 short of our target, primarily because of higher provision for loan losses, lower-than-expected contribution from Gold Capital Management and lower-than-projected net interest income due to nearly half of the new loan volume coming the last ten days of the quarter."

Turning to the fourth-quarter outlook, Aslin anticipated core earnings per share should approximate $0.24 - $0.25 ($0.27 - $0.28 GAAP earnings including the settlement payment received in fourth quarter discussed below), with continued loan and deposit growth anticipated, as well as slight margin expansion if the Federal Reserve increases rates on November 1.

"Most important," Aslin emphasized, "we remain confident about the validity of our strategy of focusing on our large metro markets, which rank among the highest-growth Metropolitan Statistical Areas in the country. To capitalize on this enviable market positioning, over the next three years we anticipate opening up to 12 new offices in our Florida and Midwest markets."

Aslin also reported that Gold Banc is implementing several initiatives aimed at contributing to consistent earnings growth. "The steps we are taking include a personal banking emphasis on new checking accounts and attractive CD rates with other features that are being well-received by customers; new leadership in Business Banking and Residential Real Estate Lending, which is focused on more targeted marketing campaigns, and a renewed emphasis on Asset Management, Trust Services and Private Banking, all areas with significant growth potential."

Although significantly improved over last year's third quarter, the results for this year's third quarter include a $3.5 million settlement agreement with the IRS, announced earlier this week. The Gold Bank Kansas (the "Bank") subsidiary entered into three settlement agreements with the IRS arising from the Bank's purchase of $14.2 million in multifamily housing revenue bonds (the "Series C Bonds") in 2001 and 2002. The Bank made a one-time $3.5 million cash payment in full settlement of all claims made by the IRS. The payment is reflected as income tax expense in the quarterly financial statements. The Bank didn't admit any liability or wrongdoing in connection with the settlement. Further detail on the settlement can be obtained in the related news release and Form 8-K, both dated October 17, 2005.

The Bank made a claim against the trustee of the Oklahoma Series C Bonds. The trustee denied any wrongdoing in connection with the Oklahoma Series C bonds. On September 29, 2005, the Bank entered into a Settlement Agreement and Release with the trustee, pursuant to which the trustee made a cash payment of $1.4 million to the Bank and the Bank released the trustee from liability in connection with the claims described above. This payment was received prior to the close of the quarter ended September 30, 2005 and was recorded as a reduction of the remaining principal of the Series C Bonds in the amount of $0.8 million and a settlement gain in the amount of $0.6 million.

"The resulting net impact of these settlements per outstanding share totaled approximately $0.08 in third quarter 2005. As indicated in the October 17, 2005 press release, a $1.75 million additional recovery has been received and will be recorded as income in fourth quarter 2005 in the amount of approximately $0.03 per share net of tax. When all was said and done, these investments generated a net positive return of approximately 5% based on currently known facts," commented Aslin.

GAAP net earnings for the three months ended September 30, 2005 were $5.0 million compared to a loss of $1.8 million for the prior year. After adjusting for unusual, non-recurring items, core earnings for the three months ended September 30, 2005 were $8.1 million compared to $7.7 million for the prior year. As with the nine-month period, the provision for loan losses was higher in 2005 than in 2004 due to loan growth as well as reclassification of credits as a result of the ongoing internal loan review process. Net interest income improved slightly due to growth in the spread between interest income on loans and investments and interest expense on deposits and borrowings over the same period last year. GAAP net earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 were $38.4 million compared to $11.8 million for the prior year. After adjusting for unusual, non-recurring items, core earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 were $24.2 million compared to $21.9 million for the prior year. The improvement was driven primarily by stronger net interest income offset partially by the provision for loan losses, which was $2.6 million higher in 2005 than in 2004.

Net Interest Income

For third quarter 2005, net interest income after provision for loan loss was $27.5 million, compared to $28.5 million for third quarter 2004 and $27.2 million for second quarter 2005. The decrease over the prior year is attributed to branch sales as well as the following other factors. Interest income on loans increased $9.9 million due primarily to rate increases with a lesser portion of the increase attributable to loan growth. Interest income on investments decreased $2.1 million due to declining principal balances from sales and maturities. Interest expense on deposits increased $5.3 million almost exclusively due to rate increases from recent market conditions as well as a concerted effort to grow core deposits and position ourselves competitively. Interest expense on borrowings grew $2.0 million due again to rate increases with some volume improvement as we have shifted away from borrowings in favor of deposits. The provision for loan losses was up $1.6 million this quarter over the same quarter last year due to significant loan growth as well as changes in classifications of loans as we continue to review our portfolio. Changes in net interest income after provision for loan loss from the second quarter of 2005 are primarily due to a lower provision for loan losses, offset by decreased earning assets resulting from branch sales, reduced interest income on investments as the portfolio has diminished, and increased rates on deposits and borrowings. The tax equivalent net interest margin for third quarter 2005 increased to 3.10% from 2.99% for third quarter 2004 and from 3.07% for second quarter 2005.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income totaled $6.8 million in third quarter 2005 compared to a net expense of $4.5 million for third quarter 2004. The expense in 2004 was caused by an impairment charge taken on the Series C bonds of $10.8 million. Service fees are also down from a year ago due to branch sales as well as restructuring of insufficient funds and account analysis charges. This restructuring has negatively impacted fees for the year. The fee policy was adjusted during the third quarter, which resulted in higher service fees late in the quarter, but there was still a decline for the quarter. Investment trading fees and commissions are down from a year ago due to lower volume in our institutional fixed income brokerage business. Non-interest income is nearly flat from second quarter 2005 after adjusting for the gain on branch sales and loss on investment sales during second quarter.

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense for third quarter 2005 was $21.3 million, compared to $26.9 million for third quarter 2004, which contained $2.5 million of expenses associated with the settlement of qui tam litigation. Salaries and employee benefits were down due to reductions in wages due to branch sales, declines in ESOP expense due to lower plan costs, and declines in stock compensation expense due to fewer restricted stock grants than in the prior year. The current quarter non-interest expense was decreased from the prior quarter due again to reduced wages from branch sales as well as the donation of $1.5 million made in the second quarter to the Gold Bank Foundation Fund.

Balance Sheet

As of September 30, 2005, Gold Banc total assets were $4.077 billion including $2.991 billion total loans net of allowance and $769.4 million investment securities, and total deposits were $3.022 billion. As of December 31, 2004, Gold Banc's total assets were $4.330 billion, total loans net of allowance were $3.067 billion (including loans held for sale), total investment securities were $916.0 million, and total deposits were $3.137 billion (including deposits held for sale). Loans and deposits held for sale at December 31, 2004 were identified for the then-pending transaction to sell five Oklahoma branches, which closed on June 17, 2005.

Excluding branch sale activity, net loan growth continued with $83.7 million or 2.8% added in third quarter 2005. Along with the $224.7 million added in first and second quarters of 2005, net loans after branch sales have grown $308.4 million or 11.4% from $2.717 billion at December 31, 2004. Excluding branch sales, deposits grew $108.6 million or 3.7% during third quarter 2005 in addition to the aggregate growth of $126.6 million in the first and second quarters of 2005. For the year, deposits after branch sales have grown $235.2 million or 8.4%, despite a reduction in brokered certificates of deposit. Brokered certificates of deposit totaled $377.1 million as of September 30, 2005, a $159.5 million reduction from $536.6 million at the end of 2004 and a reduction of $29.7 million for the quarter. FHLB advances were $411.8 million at September 30, 2005, a $160.1 million reduction from $571.9 million at December 31, 2004, and a reduction of $75.1 million for the quarter. This combined reduction of $319.6 million in brokered deposits and FHLB borrowings reflects Gold Banc's commitment to move away from wholesale funding and to build core deposits.

The $373.9 million available-for-sale securities portfolio is comprised of $218.5 million in obligations of US government-sponsored entities, $104.1 million of mortgage-backed securities, $41.4 million of stock and other investments, $9.2 million in municipal securities, and $0.7 million in US Treasury securities. The average maturity of non-equity securities is approximately 4.2 years, or 2.8 years excluding trust preferred securities. Held-to-maturity securities total $391.1 million, and are comprised of $252.3 million in obligations of US government-sponsored entities, $76.6 million of mortgage-backed securities, $44.5 million of trust-preferred securities, and $17.7 million of municipal securities. Held-to-maturity securities provide a degree of desirable insulation to our tangible equity level in a rising-interest-rate environment.

Credit Quality

Non-performing loans totaled $21.7 million or 0.72% of total loans at September 30, 2005, compared to $25.8 million or 0.88% of total loans at June 30, 2005 and compared to $15.7 million or 0.51% of total loans on December 31, 2004. Other real estate owned increased slightly by $0.3 million from December 31, 2004 to $4.0 million as of September 30, 2005. This is up from $3.8 million at June 30, 2005. Non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets decreased to 0.63% on September 30, 2005, from 0.72% on June 30, 2005, but were up from 0.45% on December 31, 2004. These changes are primarily due to changes in non-accrual loans. The provision for loan losses for the quarter was $2.1 million compared to $0.5 million in third quarter 2004. On a year to date basis, the provision for loan losses in 2005 was $7.4 million compared to $4.8 million in 2004. The 2005 increase is due primarily to $308.4 million in net loan growth this year, specific reserves for individual credits, and changes in classifications of loans to categories that merit greater allowances, reflecting our view of current economic trends and risk. The allowance for loan losses was $34.2 million on September 30, 2005 compared to $33.6 million on June 30, 2005, and is 1.13% of loans currently compared to 1.14% of loans at June 30, 2005. The allowance was $32.1 million or 1.03% of loans on December 31, 2004.

Capital

The capital levels of Gold Banc continue to be in excess of the well-capitalized levels established by regulatory agencies. At September 30, 2005, the company's total capital ratio was 11.82%, its tier one ratio was 10.04% and, its leverage ratio was 8.43%. Capital ratios have grown from the previous year and the previous quarter due to the Oklahoma branch sale, offset somewhat by stock repurchases as discussed below. Book value per share was $7.11 and tangible book value was $6.22 on September 30, 2005, compared to $6.73 and $5.84, respectively, on December 31, 2004. Gold's equity to asset ratio at the end of third quarter 2005 was 6.66%, increased from 6.24% at December 31, 2004. This ratio has improved since last year due to the completion of Gold's sale of five Oklahoma branches.

Share Repurchase

On October 19, 2005, the board of directors authorized an additional expenditure of up to $20.0 million for the repurchase of its outstanding common stock from time to time during the next twelve months in open market purchases and private transactions subject to market conditions, and as permitted by securities laws and other legal requirements. On August 24, 2005, we completed the authorized repurchase of $32.0 million of outstanding common stock. The board of directors authorized an initial repurchase in the amount of $12.0 million on October 21, 2004 and an additional amount of $20.0 million on April 18, 2005. A total of 2,234,339 shares were repurchased between January 27, 2005 and August 24, 2005 at a total cost of $32.0 million. The average price paid per share was $14.32. During the quarter, 508,000 shares of stock were repurchased at a total cost of $7.7 million (average cost per share of $15.14).

Dividend

The Gold Banc board of directors declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.05 per common share on October 19, 2005. The dividend will be payable November 09, 2005 to shareholders of record as of November 02, 2005. On April 18, 2005, the board increased the dividend from $0.03 per common share. Gold Banc has 38,205,194 shares outstanding as of September 30, 2005.

Organizational Improvement

In September, Gold Banc announced the consolidation of its operation departments into one Services Center in the Overland Park International Trade Center. This move increases efficiency by bringing together over 200 associates who have been located in four different facilities. Aslin commented, "This consolidation allows our support services to work together more efficiently as we strive to achieve maximum operating leverage and customer service. It also allows space for more customer contact personnel in many of our banking locations."
