German American Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: GABC) reported record quarterly earnings of $15.3 million, or $0.61 per share, for the quarter ending on June 30, 2019.  This level of quarterly earnings performance was an increase of 27%, on a per share basis, compared with the second quarter 2018 net income of $11.1 million, or $0.48 per share. The current quarter earnings also compared favorably with the first quarter 2019 net income of $15.1 million, or $0.60 per share.

These quarterly comparisons are inclusive of the Company’s 2018 five branch acquisition in the greater Columbus, Indiana market area on May 18, 2018 and its acquisition of First Security, Inc. of Owensboro, Kentucky on October 15, 2018.  The Company had also previously announced the completion of its acquisition of Citizens First Corporation of Bowling Green, Kentucky as of July 1, 2019.  Acquisition-related expenses from these transactions were included in the expenses in each of the quarterly period comparisons.

On a linked-quarter basis, the record second quarter 2019 earnings were attributable to a variety of factors, including an increased level of net interest income, improved levels of non-interest income within a majority of the categories of fee income and additional net gains on the sale of loans and securities.  As compared to the first quarter of 2019, the Company also benefited from a reduction in the level of provision for loan loss resulting from an improved level of asset quality.  Additionally, operating expenses were lower in the current quarter due to reduced levels of salaries and benefits expense and professional fees during the current quarter.

Other factors offsetting a portion of the positive quarter-over-quarter comparison, on a linked-quarter basis, included the recording of $1.4 million in insurance contingency revenue, $554,000 in bank-owned life insurance benefits, and a $262,000 gain on the sale of a former branch facility during the first quarter of 2019.

The Company also recorded strong deposit growth during the second quarter, as end of period total deposits grew by approximately $63.7 million, or approximately 8% on a linked-quarter annualized basis, and total non-maturity transaction deposits grew by approximately $100.2 million, or 16% on a linked-quarter annualized basis.  Additionally, the Company experienced a strong level of loan originations during the current quarter, which was materially offset by a continued elevated level of loan pay-offs, resulting in a modest increase of  $8.3 million, or  1%, on a linked-quarter annualized basis, in end of period total loans.

Commenting on the Company’s performance, Mark A. Schroeder, German American’s Chairman & CEO, stated, "We’re pleased with the extremely strong start we experienced during the first half of this year, in terms of record earnings, exceptional deposit growth and the exceptionally strong loan pipelines we continue to experience throughout our footprint.  Even though the current economic recovery is at a historic length, the economic strength and vitality in each of the markets we serve continues to be impressive.  Based on these factors, we are encouraged about our ability to continue the level of exceptional performance we’ve been able to deliver during the current quarter, year-to-date and over the course of the past decade.”

The Company also announced its Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.17 per share, which will be payable on August 20, 2019 to shareholders of record as of August 10, 2019.

Balance Sheet Highlights

The Company completed a five-branch acquisition of locations of First Financial Bancorp (formerly branch locations of Mainsource Financial Group, Inc. prior to its merger with First Financial Bancorp) on May 18, 2018.  Four of the branches are located in Columbus, Indiana, and one in Greensburg, Indiana.  In addition, on October 15, 2018, the Company completed its acquisition of First Security, Inc. ("First Security") and its subsidiary bank, First Security Bank, Inc.  First Security was based in Owensboro, Kentucky, and operated 11 retail banking offices in Owensboro, Bowling Green, Franklin and Lexington, Kentucky and in Evansville and Newburgh, Indiana.

Total assets for the Company totaled $3.971 billion at June 30, 2019, representing an increase of $75.2 million, or 8% on an annualized basis, compared with March 31, 2019 and an increase of $626.2 million, or 19%, compared with June 30, 2018.  The increase in total assets as of June 30, 2019 compared to a year ago was driven largely by the acquisition of First Security and the five-branch network in the Columbus and Greensburg, Indiana markets, as well as organic loan growth.

June 30, 2019 total loans increased $8.3 million, or 1% on an annualized basis, compared with March 31, 2019 and increased $398.8 million, or 17%, compared with June 30, 2018.

The modest increase during the second quarter of 2019 was driven by a seasonal increase in agricultural loans of approximately $16.1 million, or 19% on an annualized basis, which was partially mitigated by a decline in retail loans of $7.7 million, or 5% on an annualized basis, driven primarily by a decline in residential real estate loans.

The Company’s allowance for loan losses totaled $16.2 million at June 30, 2019 compared to $16.2 million at March 31, 2019 and $15.6 million at June 30, 2018.  The allowance for loan losses represented 0.60% of period-end loans at June 30, 2019 compared with 0.60% of period-end loans at March 31, 2019 and 0.67% of period-end loans at June 30, 2018.  From time to time, the Company has acquired loans through bank and branch acquisitions with the most recent (reflected in actual results) being the First Security acquisition during the fourth quarter of 2018 and a five-branch acquisition in the second quarter of 2018.  Under acquisition accounting treatment, loans acquired are recorded at fair value which includes a credit risk component, and therefore the allowance on loans acquired is not carried over from the seller.  The Company held a net discount on acquired loans of $17.1 million at June 30, 2019, $18.2 million at March 31, 2019 and $9.6 million at June 30, 2018.

June 30, 2019 total deposits increased $63.7 million, or 8% on an annualized basis, compared with March 31, 2019 and increased $527.4 million, or 20%, compared with June 30, 2018.  The increase in total deposits in the second quarter of 2019, compared with the first quarter of 2019, was largely related to seasonal increases in public fund operating accounts.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2019, net interest income totaled $33,641,000, which was relatively flat to the quarter ended March 31, 2019 net interest income of $33,591,000.  The increased level of net interest income during the second quarter of 2019 compared with the first quarter of 2019 was driven primarily by a modestly higher level of average earning assets combined with an additional day during the second quarter partially mitigated by a modest decline in the stated tax equivalent net interest margin.

The tax equivalent net interest margin for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 was 3.84% compared with 3.88% in the first quarter of 2019.  Accretion of loan discounts on acquired loans contributed approximately 12 basis points to the net interest margin on an annualized basis in the second quarter of 2019 and 16 basis points in the first quarter of 2019.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2019, the Company recorded a provision for loan loss of $250,000 compared with $675,000 in the first quarter of 2019.  The provision during all periods was done in accordance with the Company's standard methodology for determining the adequacy of its allowance for loan loss.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2019, non-interest income totaled $10,509,000, a decline of $1,149,000, or 10%, compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2019.

Trust and investment product fees increased $346,000, or 22%, during the second quarter of 2019 compared with the first quarter of 2019.  The increase during the second quarter of 2019 was largely attributable to increased assets under management and increased activity in the Company's wealth management group.

Insurance revenues declined $1,276,000, or 40%, during the quarter ended June 30, 2019, compared with the first quarter of 2019.  The decline during the second quarter of 2019 compared with the first quarter of 2019 was primarily due to contingency revenue.  Contingency revenue during the first quarter of 2019 totaled $1,375,000 compared with no contingency revenue during the second quarter of 2019.  The fluctuation in contingency revenue is a normal course of business variance and is reflective of claims and loss experience with insurance carriers that the Company represents through its property and casualty insurance agency.  Typically, the majority of contingency revenue is recognized during the first quarter of the year.

Company owned life insurance revenue declined $580,000, or 66%, during the quarter ended June 30, 2019, compared with the first quarter of 2019. The increase was largely related to death benefits of $554,000 received from life insurance policies during the first quarter of  2019.

Interchange fees increased $237,000, or 11%, during the second quarter of 2019 compared with the first quarter of 2019.  The increase during the second quarter of 2019 compared with the first quarter of 2019 was largely attributable to increased card utilization by customers.

Other operating income declined $410,000, or 47%, during the quarter ended June 30, 2019 compared with the first quarter of 2019.  The decline during the second quarter of 2019 compared with the first quarter of 2019 was largely attributable to a gain realized on the sale of a former branch facility of $262,000 during the first quarter of 2019.

The Company realized $516,000 in gains on sales of securities during the second quarter of 2019 compared with $155,000 during the first quarter of 2019.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2019, non-interest expense totaled $25,618,000, a decline of $1,141,000, or 4%, compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2019.  The second quarter of 2019 included acquisition-related expenses of $428,000 while the first quarter of 2019 included acquisition-related expenses of approximately $544,000.

Salaries and benefits declined $927,000, or 6%, during the quarter ended June 30, 2019 compared with the first quarter of 2019.  The decline in salaries and benefits during the second quarter of 2019 compared with the first quarter of 2019 was primarily attributable to a reduced level of incentive compensation expense and a reduced level of other employee benefit expense.

Data processing fees increased $220,000, or 14%, during the second quarter of 2019 compared with the first quarter of 2019.  The increase during the second quarter of 2019 compared with the first quarter of 2019 was driven by acquisition-related costs which totaled approximately $214,000 during the second quarter of 2019.

Professional fees declined $153,000, or 12%, during the second quarter of 2019 compared with the first quarter of 2019.  The decline during the second quarter of 2019 compared to the first quarter of 2019 was due in large part to a decline in professional fees related to merger and acquisition activity partially offset by an increase in other professional fees primarily associated with the Company's annual shareholders' meeting.  Merger and acquisition-related professional fees totaled approximately $205,000 during the second quarter of 2019 compared with $508,000 in the first quarter of 2019.
