Rurban Financial Corp. Reports 14.3 Percent Increase in Second Quarter Earnings Per Share


DEFIANCE, Ohio, July 18, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Rurban Financial Corp. (Nasdaq:RBNF), a leading provider of full-service community banking, investment management, trust services and bank data processing, reported second quarter 2007 net income of $785,000, an increase of 10.0 percent over the $714,000 reported for the second quarter of 2006. Diluted earnings per share increased 14.3 percent to $0.16 from $0.14 reported for the prior-year period. Compared with the first quarter of 2007, net income and diluted earnings per share increased by 11.8 and 14.3 percent, respectively.

For the six months ended June 30, 2007 Rurban reported net income of $1,487,000 up $251,000, or 20.3 percent, compared to $1,236,000 reported for the six months ended June 2006. Diluted earnings per share were $0.30 for the current year, up 20.0 percent from the $0.25 reported for the prior year.

Highlights include:



 * Rurban implemented the final steps of its reorganization plan toward
   the end of the first quarter 2007. Therefore, this represents
   Rurban's first reporting quarter as a completely restructured
   entity, with all bank activities merged into The State Bank and
   Trust Company; RDSI, the data and item processing company, remains
   a stand-alone data processing subsidiary of the holding company.

 * The reorganization had a $0.02 positive impact on earnings per
   share in second quarter performance through improvements due to
   consolidation; second quarter ROAA was 57 basis points compared
   with 51 basis points for the first quarter of 2007.

 * Rurban's net interest margin increased for a second consecutive
   quarter. The margin improved to 3.19 percent for the current
   quarter from 3.04 percent for the first quarter of 2007; the margin
   for State Bank and Trust was 3.56 percent for the second quarter.

 * Loan growth accelerated during the second quarter of 2007
   increasing $8.4 million, or 9 percent annualized, from March 31,
   2007. Year-to-date loan growth was $11.6 million across all loan
   categories.

 * Non-interest income continued to be a substantial contributor to
   Rurban's revenue stream, increasing 23.5 percent from the prior
   year to $6.5 million, and accounting for 63.4 percent of total
   revenue. RDSI revenue increased 36.3 percent year-over-year to $4.9
   million primarily due to the acquisition of DCM in the third
   quarter of 2006.

 * On April 12, 2007, Rurban initiated a stock repurchase program,
   authorizing the repurchase of up to 250,000 shares or approximately
   5 percent of the Company's outstanding shares.  As of the end of the
   second quarter, Rurban repurchased 12,000 shares at an average
   cost of $12.43

Kenneth A. Joyce, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are making steady progress toward our goals. With a simplified, more transparent organization, we are able to focus more clearly on the issues that require attention, as can our investors. We know there are still many areas for improvement, but I believe we have addressed most of the major factors that have been a drag on our operations and profitability. We have the right team in place to lead our organization to the next level of profitability and growth, and we are already making progress along that path. We look forward to continuing improvement of our fundamental measurements."

Total revenue, consisting of net interest income plus non-interest income, was $10.3 million for the second quarter of 2007, compared with $9.1 million for the prior-year second quarter, an increase of $1.2 million, or 12.8 percent. Compared with the first quarter of this year, total revenue was basically unchanged as the first quarter had significant non-interest income generated by RDSI for year-end processing. Net interest income was $3.8 million in the current quarter, a decrease of $80,000, or 2.1 percent, from the 2006 second quarter, and an increase of $157,000, or 4.4 percent, from the $3.6 million reported for the first quarter of this year. Year-over-year results reflect a 1.1 percent decrease in average earning assets, coupled with a 6 basis point decline in net interest margin, to 3.19 percent this quarter. The linked quarter reflects a 15 basis point improvement in the net interest margin, partially offset by a 0.4 percent decline in average earning assets. Mr. Joyce remarked, "We are reaping the benefits of our balance sheet restructuring that we completed in the fourth quarter of 2006. This quarter marked our second consecutive quarter of margin expansion, resulting in an improvement in net interest margin of 27 basis points since year-end."

Non-interest income, derived primarily from RDSI, is an increasingly significant contributor to Rurban's revenue stream, accounting for 63.4 percent of total revenue for the second quarter of 2007, compared with 57.9 percent for the year-ago quarter. Non-interest income grew $1.2 million, or 23.5 percent, increasing to $6.5 million from $5.3 million a year earlier. The acquisition of DCM in the third quarter of 2006 was the primary driver of this 23.5 percent increase. Gain on sale of loans likewise contributed to the year-over-year increase as mortgage banking continues to show progress in a very difficult market environment. Compared to the first quarter, non-interest income declined by $231,000, or 3.4 percent. This quarterly decrease is largely due to one-time fee income opportunities recorded in the first quarter on previously charged-off loans and end of year processing fees.

The provision for loan losses was $146,000 compared with $56,000 for the second quarter of 2006, and $93,000 for the first quarter of 2007.

Non-interest expense was $9.1 million for the second quarter of 2007, up $985,000, or 12.2 percent, from the year-ago quarter. The increase was due to the acquisition of DCM, which recorded $1.0 million in expenses in the second quarter of 2007. In comparison to first quarter, operating expenses decreased $235,000, or 2.5 percent, despite additional expense within the data processing segment. Salaries and benefit expense declined by nearly 5 percent due to the Company's efforts to reduce staff through the consolidation of its back office and other operational activities following the merger of The Exchange Bank into The State Bank and Trust Company in the first quarter. At quarter-end, Rurban had 285 FTE employees, 32 fewer than year-end 2006. Mr. Joyce stated, "Our goal is to provide the same high quality service with a greater focus on technology efficiencies and resulting profitability."

Rurban continues to be very well capitalized. Stockholders' equity at June 30, 2007 was $57.3 million, equivalent to 10.5 percent of total assets; on a tangible basis, the ratio was 7.1 percent. The total risk-based capital ratio was 16.1 percent, well in excess of the "well-capitalized" regulatory threshold of 10 percent.

THE STATE BANK AND TRUST COMPANY

The State Bank and Trust Company reported net income of $917,000 for the quarter, compared with $888,000 for the prior-year quarter, an increase of 3.3 percent. Compared with the first quarter of 2007, income increased $210,000 or 29.7 percent. Revenue for the Bank (net interest income plus non-interest income) was $6.1 million for the current quarter, a decline of $91,000, or 1.5 percent, from the year earlier level of $6.2 million. Revenue increased $106,000, or 1.8 percent, from the linked quarter's results. Non-interest expense decreased $165,000 to $4.7 million for the current quarter compared to $4.9 million for the second quarter of 2006. This decrease was driven by the operating efficiencies completed at the end of the first quarter. Operating Expenses decreased despite the opening of a new full service branch and increased expenses to create branding and market awareness within our branching network. Non-interest expense decreased $261,000 in the second quarter of 2007 compared to the first quarter of 2007. Mr. Joyce stated, "We are starting to see several of our strategic initiatives mature within our banking group. Our entry into the Lima, Toledo and Fort Wayne markets are starting to provide nice growth opportunities and we feel we have them structured correctly."

Loan growth over the past twelve months was $21.5 million, or 5.6 percent, reaching $383.5 million at June 30, 2007. After a steady but slow first quarter resulting from competitive factors and the priority given to consolidation activities, loan growth rebounded during the second quarter of 2007, growing at an annualized 8.9 percent, and accounting for nearly 40 percent of the year-over-year increase in loans. Commercial and Industrial loans contributed more than half of second quarter loan growth, accounting for $5.0 million of the increase, and raising their share in the portfolio to 20.2 percent, from 19.4 percent at March 31, 2007. Real estate loans accounted for the remainder of the growth, increasing $4.4 million to $269.4 million at quarter-end. Rurban's portfolio continues to lean toward real estate secured lending, which accounted for 70.5 percent of loans at June 30, 2007. Year-over-year, assets declined $17.4 million, or 3.19 percent, due to the $17 million balance sheet restructuring completed in the fourth quarter of 2006.

Deposits at quarter-end were $407.6 million, up $6.6 million, or 1.7 percent, from the second quarter of 2006, and down $5.0 million from $412.6 million at March 31, 2007. The decrease from the previous quarter resulted from Rurban's effort to reduce high-cost deposits; retail and brokered time deposits decreased $6.5 million during the quarter, while low-cost deposits -- checking, savings, and money market accounts -- increased minimally.

Non-performing assets (loans + OREO + OAO) were $6.0 million, or 1.09 percent of total assets at quarter-end 2007, an increase of $88,000 from twelve months ago, and an increase of $1.9 million from the first quarter. Mr. Joyce commented, "We had three commercial facilities which comprised the majority of the increase in our non-performing assets, including one that was called due and declared in default due to persistent delinquency problems. We believe we are adequately reserved for any resultant losses, if any." Net charge-offs for the second quarter were $90,000, compared with a net recovery of $33,000 in the second quarter of 2006 for a net charge-off to average loans of 0.07 percent for the first half of 2007. The loan loss reserve remains at 1.00 percent of period-end loans.

RFCBC (Loan Workout Company)

RFCBC continues to phase out as the one loan relationship that remains is in foreclosure status. RFCBC recorded a loss of $87,000 for the quarter compared to $109,000 for the previous year quarter. The majority of the cost within the workout company remains to be legal cost associated with the remaining loans in litigation status. RFCBC has no employees, as the remaining workout relationships are being managed by a part-time consultant.

RURBANC DATA SERVICES, INC (RDSI)

Revenue for the quarter was $4.9 million, up $1.3 million, or 36.3 percent, above the $3.6 million reported for the second quarter of 2006. Compared with the linked quarter, revenue decreased by $206,000, or 4.0 percent; excluding the $180,000 of year-end processing fees included in the first quarter, second quarter revenue was essentially unchanged. RDSI's strong organic growth from its existing customer base was supplemented by the addition of DCM customers. Rurban completed the acquisition of DCM in the third quarter of 2006. RDSI continues to add new clients; during the second quarter of 2007, it signed three new data processing clients and three new item processing clients. RDSI has seven conversions scheduled between now and the end of the year. Currently, RDSI services over 106 community banks, contributing to over 77.5 percent of Rurban's non-interest income year-to-date.

Earnings for the second quarter were $476,000 compared to $451,000 for the year-ago quarter, up $25,000, or 5.5 percent; on a linked quarter basis, second quarter net income declined by $214,000, or 31.0 percent. RDSI's first quarter results include $180,000 of end of year processing, as well as other one-time revenue items totaling $40,000.
