Porter Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: PBIB), parent company of PBI Bank,
with offices in Louisville and throughout central Kentucky, today
reported results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31,
2006. The Company reported net income for the fourth quarter of
2006 of $3.7 million or $0.48 per share compared to $2.3 million or
$0.37 per share for the fourth quarter of 2005 on an adjusted pro
forma basis. Earnings for the year ended December 31, 2006 were
$14.3 million or $2.15 per share compared to $11.4 million or $1.80
per share for the year ended December 31, 2005 on an adjusted pro
forma basis. Net income for the fourth quarter and year ended 2005
were adjusted to reflect 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. Fourth Quarter
and Year-to-Date Highlights Net income increased 26.0% and 59.1%
for the year and three months ended December 31, 2006,
respectively, over the same periods in the prior year on an
adjusted pro forma basis. Earnings per share increased 19.4% and
29.7% for the year and three months ended December 31, 2006,
respectively, over the same periods in the prior year on an
adjusted pro forma basis. Return on average assets for the year
ended December 31, 2006 was 1.44%, a 19.0% increase from the prior
year on an adjusted pro forma basis. Return on average assets for
the quarter ended December 31, 2006 was 1.43%, a 50.5% increase
over the same period in 2005 on an adjusted pro forma basis. The
efficiency ratio for the year ended December 31, 2006 improved to
46.68% from 47.96% over the prior year. Our efficiency ratio for
the quarter ended December 31, 2006 also improved to 45.32% from
48.42% for the same period in the prior year. The Company�s average
earning assets increased 4.6% and 4.5% during the year and three
months ended December 31, 2006, over the same periods in the prior
year. The Company experienced annual growth in its loan portfolio
of 7.9% and in its deposits of 6.9% during 2006. Additionally, the
loan portfolio grew by 4.5% during the fourth quarter. The Company
refinanced $14.0 million of junior subordinated debentures during
the fourth quarter which resulted in a write-off of approximately
$280,000 of unamortized debt issuance costs. This is expected to
yield annual interest expense savings to offset the write-off. Net
Interest Income Net interest income was $9,508,000 for the three
months ended December 31, 2006, a decrease of $296,000, or 3.0%,
compared with $9,804,000 for the same period in 2005. This decrease
was primarily attributable to a decline in net interest margin from
4.21% to 3.90% between periods. Net interest income was $37,241,000
for the year ended December 31, 2006, an increase of $852,000, or
2.3%, compared with $36,389,000 for the same period in 2005. The
overall increase in net interest income for the year 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. As we mentioned last quarter, we continue
to experience a flat yield curve. Given our asset/liability
management strategies, we have experienced only modest compression
of our net interest margin which remained strong at 3.90% and 3.97%
for the quarter and year to date, respectively. During the fourth
quarter, we completed the refinancing of junior subordinated
debentures in the amount of $14.0 million which resulted in a 193
basis point reduction in interest rate payable. Unamortized debt
issuance costs of approximately $280,000 were written off in
connection with the refinancing, but expected annual interest
expense savings should offset the write-off. Non-Interest Income
Non-interest income for the fourth quarter of 2006 increased
$91,000, or 8.3%, from the fourth quarter of 2005. The increase was
primarily attributable to increased revenue from fees received from
brokering long-term home loans to the secondary market and title
insurance commissions. The increase was partially offset by a
decrease in service charges on deposit accounts 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. Non-interest income for the year ended December
31, 2006 decreased $237,000, or 4.4%, in comparison to the same
period last year. The decrease for the year ended December 31, 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. These decreases in non-interest income were partially
offset by increased income from gains on sales of loans originated
for sale and fees received from brokering long-term home loans to
the secondary market through the Bank�s mortgage division, which we
acquired in January 2006. Non-Interest Expense Non-interest expense
for the quarter ended December 31, 2006 of $4.8 million represented
an 8.2% decrease from $5.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2005.
The decrease in non-interest expense for the quarter was primarily
due to reduced professional fees resulting from the company�s
reorganization in late 2005 and 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
write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs. Non-interest expense
for the year ended December 31, 2006 of $19.8 million represented a
1.3% decrease from $20.0 million for the same period last year. The
primary factors impacting non-interest expense for the year ended
December 31, 2006 were additional employee compensation expenses
relating to planned growth in our lending staff; decreased group
benefit plan costs; decreased professional fees resulting from our
reorganization in 2005; and increased advertising costs in
connection with branding our Bank�s new name, PBI Bank. In
addition, the Company implemented Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 123R during the first quarter of 2006 resulting in
the recognition of $51,000 and $157,000 in non-cash compensation
expense in the fourth quarter of 2006 and year ended December 31,
2006, respectively. No such expense was recorded in the comparative
periods of 2005. Balance Sheet Review Total assets increased 6.0%
to $1.05 billion at December 31, 2006 from $991.5 million at
December 31, 2005. The Company�s loan portfolio increased 7.9% to
$854.4 million from $792.0 million at December 31, 2005 primarily
due to in-house loan origination efforts of our lending staff.
Deposits at December 31, 2006 increased 6.9% to $861.9 million from
$806.6 million at December 31, 2005 primarily due to an increase in
both time deposits and transactional accounts from promotional
efforts throughout the period. Total assets increased $51.3 million
during the quarter. Net loans increased $36.8 million and federal
funds sold and interest bearing deposits increased $17.6 million.
This asset growth was funded by growth in money market deposit
accounts of $20.6 million and certificates of deposit accounts of
$38.5 million. Asset Quality Nonperforming loans at December 31,
2006 were $8.9 million, or 1.05% of total loans, compared to $7.0
million, or 0.89% of total loans at December 31, 2005, and $10.0
million, or 1.22% of total loans at September 30, 2006. The
decrease of $1.1 million in nonperforming loans from September 30,
2006 to December 31, 2006 is primarily attributable to the
collection in full of a commercial real estate loan by collateral
disposition. Foreclosed properties at December 31, 2006 were $2.4
million compared to $1.8 million at December 31, 2005 and $2.1
million at September 30, 2006. The increase in foreclosed
properties reflects the normal progression of troubled assets
through the workout phase, repossession and ultimately disposition.
Our loan loss reserve as a percentage of total loans at December
31, 2006 decreased to 1.50% from 1.54% at December 31, 2005 and
1.55% at September 30, 2006. Provision for loan losses decreased
$1,501,000 to $376,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2006
and decreased $2,240,000 to $1,405,000 for the year ended December
31, 2006 compared to the same periods ended December 31, 2005. Net
loan charge-offs for the year ended December 31, 2006 were $770,000
or 0.09% of total loans compared to $2.5 million or 0.32% for the
year ended December 31, 2005. Net loan charge-offs for the quarter
ended December 31, 2006 were $199,000 compared to $2.1 million for
the quarter ended December 31, 2005 and $232,000 for the quarter
ended September 30, 2006. 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 a
significant and unusual increase in loan loss provisions and
charge-offs. We assess the adequacy of our loan loss reserve each
quarter and make the appropriate provision for loan losses based on
that assessment. PBIB-G Forward-Looking Statements Statements in
