PBIB Porter Bancorp, Inc. (delisted)

Porter Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: PBIB), parent company of PBI Bank, with offices in Louisville and throughout central Kentucky, today reported results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2006. The Company reported net income of $3.8 million and $10.6 million for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively. This compares to net income of $3.7 million and $10.6 million for the same periods in 2005. Additionally, on an adjusted pro forma basis, this compares to net income of $3.1 million and $9.1 million for the same periods in 2005. Basic and diluted earnings per share was $ .59 and $1.67 for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively, compared to $.63 and $1.80 for the same periods in 2005 and on an adjusted pro forma basis $.49 and $1.43 for the same periods in 2005. The pro forma adjustments present the Company�s 2005 results as if its acquisition of minority interests in subsidiary banks and the termination of its S corporation status, which were effective on December 31, 2005, were in effect for all of 2005. �We are pleased to report a continuing trend of earnings growth and we are optimistic about the future of our Company,� stated Maria L. Bouvette, President and Chief Executive Officer. �We fully understand our responsibility to our shareholders and we are very appreciative of their support for us.� Total assets declined by $13.7 million during the quarter due to the utilization of cash and cash equivalents for planned reductions in borrowings and the non-renewal of national market certificates of deposit. Loans increased by $2.9 million and core transactional deposit accounts increased by $20.1 million. Other highlights for the third quarter include the successful completion of the Company�s initial public offering on September 22, 2006, the repayment of $9.5 million in debt incurred to acquire minority interests in 2005, and an improvement in non-performing asset levels from June 30, 2006. In its public offering, the Company issued 1,250,000 new shares at a price of $24.00 per share. �Despite a flat yield curve, we experienced only modest compression of our net interest margin which remained strong at 3.95% and 4.00% for the quarter and year to date, respectively,� said Bouvette. Net interest income was $9,279,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006, an increase of $38,000, or 0.4%, compared with $9,241,000 for the same period in 2005. Net interest income was $27,733,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, an increase of $1,148,000, or 4.3%, compared with $26,585,000 for the same period in 2005. The overall increase in net interest income was attributable to an increase in overall loan volume offset by the reduction in net interest margin reflecting the effect of a flattening yield curve. Provision for loan losses decreased $439,000 to $276,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and $739,000 to $1,029,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the same periods ended September 30, 2005. In connection with our reorganization and consolidation of our loan review processes during 2005, we conducted a thorough review of our loan portfolio resulting in an increased provision for loan losses. We assess the adequacy of our loan loss reserve each quarter and make the appropriate provision for loan losses based on that assessment. Non-interest income for the third quarter of 2006 decreased $45,000, or 3.3%, from the third quarter of 2005. Non-interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 decreased $328,000, or 7.6%, in comparison to the same period last year. The decrease for both the third quarter and the first nine months of 2006 was primarily due to decreased income from service charges on deposit accounts and gains on sales of government guaranteed loans, reflecting the cyclical nature of originations and sales of this type of loan. Service charges on deposit accounts decreased as a result of changes in product fee structures that the Company believes will make certain products more competitive, thereby increasing product sales over time. These decreases in non-interest income were partially offset by increased income from gains on sales of loans originated for sale through the Bank�s mortgage division, which we acquired in January 2006. Non-interest expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 of $4.7 million represented a 5.4% decrease from $4.9 million for the third quarter of 2005. Non-interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 of $14.9 million represented a 1.1% increase from the $14.8 million for the same period last year. The decrease in non-interest expense for the quarter was primarily due to reduced employee benefit costs resulting from a change in the Company�s group health benefit plan effective on July 1, 2006 and an increase in deferred direct loan origination costs. This decrease was partially offset by the increased advertising cost in connection with branding our Bank�s new name, PBI Bank. The primary factors impacting non-interest expense for the nine month period were additional employee compensation expenses relating to planned growth in our lending staff; decreased group benefit plan costs; and the increased advertising cost. In addition, the Company implemented Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(r), �Share-Based Payment� (SFAS No. 123(r)) during the first quarter of 2006 resulting in the recognition of $41,000 and $106,000 in non-cash compensation expense in the third quarter and first nine months of 2006, respectively. No such expense was recorded in the comparative periods of 2005. Total assets for the third quarter increased 3.5% to $999.7 million from $965.7 million at September 30, 2005. The Company�s loan portfolio increased 2.7% to $817.4 million from $795.6 million at September 30, 2005 primarily due to in-house loan origination efforts of our lending staff. Deposits at September 30, 2006 increased by 1.7% to $802.4 million from $789.3 million at September 30, 2005 primarily due to an increase in both time deposits and transactional accounts from promotional efforts throughout the period. In conclusion, Bouvette added �Overall we were very pleased with our performance during the third quarter. Although we did experience uncharacteristic paydown activity in our loan portfolio, which limited our net loan growth, we believe paydown levels have normalized going into the fourth quarter. We are optimistic we have regained our growth momentum as indicated by our robust loan production pipeline. We continue to see market expansion opportunities and we remain focused on our strategic initiatives.� PBIB-G Forward-Looking Statements Statements in this press release relating to Porter Bancorp�s plans, objectives, expectations or future performance are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
