MOOREFIELD, W. Va., Oct. 26, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Summit Financial Group, Inc. (“Company” or “Summit”) (NASDAQ:SMMF) today reported third quarter 2015 net income applicable to common shares of $3.66 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, compared to $3.14 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2014, representing an increase in net income of 16.5 percent, but a 2.9 percent decrease in diluted earnings per share. Q3 2015 earnings compared to Q3 2014 were positively impacted by a $534,000 decline in write-downs of foreclosed properties and a $228,000 increase in net interest income. Increased common shares outstanding resulting from common stock issuances during the past year accounted for the $0.01 decline in quarterly year-over-year diluted earnings per share, despite the increase in earnings.

Excluding from third quarter 2015 (on a pre-tax basis) realized securities gains of $372,000, losses on sales of foreclosed properties of $35,000, and write-downs of foreclosed properties of $1.0 million, Q3 2015 core earnings approximated $4.11 million, or $0.38 per diluted share. Excluding from third quarter 2014 (on a pre-tax basis) realized securities gains of $128,000, losses on sales of foreclosed properties of $70,000, and write-downs of foreclosed properties of $1.58 million, Q3 2014 core earnings approximated $4.10 million, or $0.45 per diluted share.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, Summit recorded net income applicable to common shares of $11.96 million, or $1.12 per diluted share, compared with $7.58 million, or $0.85 per diluted share, for the comparable 2014 nine-month period, representing an increase of 57.8%, or 31.8% per diluted share.

Excluding from the nine month period ended September 30, 2015 nonrecurring items (on a pre-tax basis) comprised of realized securities gains of $1.02 million, a $176,000 Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh (“FHLB”)  special dividend, losses on sales of assets of $288,000, and write-downs of foreclosed properties of $1.78 million, and from the 2014 first nine-month period realized securities gains of $64,000, losses on sales of assets of $199,000, OTTI charges of $1,000 and write-downs of foreclosed properties of $3.47 million, core earnings for first nine months of 2015 were approximately $12.50 million, or $1.18 per diluted share, compared to $9.85 million, or $1.08 per diluted share, for the 2014 nine month period.

Highlights for Q3 2015 include:

  • Net interest margin contracted 8 and 6 basis points, respectively, as compared to that for Q2 2015 and Q3 2014.
  • Despite loans declining $2.2 million, or 0.8 percent (on an annualized basis) during the quarter, loans grew $42.6 million during the first nine months of 2015, or 5.5 percent (on an annualized basis).
  • Core revenues decreased 1.6 percent compared to the linked quarter, but remained relatively flat compared to the year ago quarter.
  • Recorded charges of $1.05 million to write-down foreclosed properties compared to such charges of $160,000 in Q2 2015 and $1.58 million in Q3 2014.
  • Nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets increased slightly during the quarter to 3.07 percent compared to 3.05 percent for the linked quarter, but remains well below year end 2014 levels of 3.48 percent. Foreclosed properties are at the lowest level since Q2 2009.

H. Charles Maddy III, President and Chief Executive Officer of Summit, commented, “Our results for the quarter just ended were mixed, as the robust loan growth we had experienced in the first half of 2015, stalled in the third quarter. This coupled with lower securities yields halted the quarter-over-quarter growth in core revenues and net interest margin improvement that we had enjoyed earlier this year. Despite this, we are very pleased by Summit’s considerable growth in both quarterly and year-to-date net income compared to the same periods of the prior year, giving us optimism as we look forward to the remainder of 2015 and beyond.”

Results from Operations

Total revenue for third quarter 2015, consisting of net interest income and noninterest income, grew 2.2 percent to $14.3 million compared to $14.0 million for the third quarter 2014. For the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2015, total revenue was $43.3 million compared to $39.8 million for the same period of 2014, representing an 8.6 percent increase.

Total core revenue (excluding nonrecurring items, enumerated above) was $13.9 million for both third quarter 2015 and the same prior-year quarter. For the first nine months of 2015, total core revenue (excluding nonrecurring items) was $42.1 million compared to $39.8 million for the comparable period of 2014, a 5.8 percent improvement.

For the third quarter of 2015, net interest income was $11.3 million, an increase of 2.1 percent from the $11.1 million reported in the prior-year third quarter and decreased $153,000 compared to the linked quarter. The net interest margin for third quarter 2015 was 3.41 percent compared to 3.47 percent for the year-ago quarter, and 3.49 percent for the linked quarter.

Noninterest income, consisting primarily of insurance commissions from Summit’s insurance agency subsidiary and service fee income from community banking activities, for third quarter 2015 was $2.99 million compared to $2.91 million for the comparable period of 2014. Excluding realized securities gains/losses and OTTI of securities, noninterest income was $2.62 million for third quarter 2015, compared to $2.79 million reported for third quarter 2014.

The third quarter 2015 and 2014 provision for loan losses totaled $250,000, compared to $500,000 for the linked quarter.

Core noninterest expense continues to be well-controlled. Total noninterest expense decreased 3.4% to $8.87 million compared to $9.19 million for the prior-year third quarter. Excluding from noninterest expense (on a pre-tax basis) losses on sales of foreclosed properties of $35,000 in Q3 2015 and $70,000 in Q3 2014 and write-downs of foreclosed properties of $1.05 million in Q3 2015 and $1.58 million in Q3 2014, noninterest expense would have approximated $7.79 million for Q3 2015 compared to $7.54 million for the comparable period of 2014. Noninterest expense for the first nine months of 2015 decreased 4.1% compared to the first nine months of 2014.
