INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 14, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- First Indiana Corporation (Nasdaq:FINB) today announced a net loss of $2.4 million, or $0.16 per diluted share for the quarter ended September 30, 2003. Earnings for the third quarter of the previous year were $6.8 million, or $0.43 per diluted share. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, First Indiana's earnings were $557,000, or $0.04 per diluted share, compared with $20.1 million, or $1.27 per diluted share, for the same period in 2002.
Performance in the third quarter of 2003 was significantly impacted by the previously reported charge to increase the allowance for loan losses. Marni McKinney, vice chairman and chief executive officer, said, "The increase in our allowance is reflective of the results from the findings of the independent evaluation of our commercial loan portfolio, our continued evaluation of the risks in our loan portfolio, and the factors contained in our revised approach for calculating the allowance for loan losses." The provision for loan losses was $13.5 million for the third quarter of 2003, compared with $3.0 million for the third quarter of 2002. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, the provision for loan losses was $35.9 million, compared with $9.8 million for the same period in 2002.
The Corporation's ratio of allowance for loan losses to loans at September 30, 2003, was 3.15 percent. The ratio of allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans at September 30, 2003, was 138 percent.
Net loan charge-offs for the third quarter of 2003 were $2.3 million, compared with $2.0 million for the third quarter 2002. Net charge-offs on business loans were $1.3 million and net charge-offs on consumer loans were $1.1 million for the third quarter of 2003. Net loan charge-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 were $24.6 million, compared with $8.5 million for the same period in 2002.
Said McKinney, "We were pleased that there were no charge-offs, other than in the normal course of business, that surfaced during the quarter. We feel the Corporation is now well positioned to continue to grow its national bank franchise."
Non-performing assets were $45.6 million at September 30, 2003, compared with $44.2 million at June 30, 2003 and $41.3 million at September 30, 2002. An increase of $3.4 million in non-performing business loans over June 30, 2003, was partially offset by improvements in non-performing assets secured by residential real estate.
Net interest margin was 3.62 percent for the third quarter of 2003, compared with 3.86 percent for the second quarter of 2003 and 3.88 percent for the third quarter of 2002. The decline in net interest margin in the third quarter of 2003 reflects the 25 basis point rate cut by the Federal Reserve Board late in the second quarter of 2003, which placed pressure on net interest margin. Net interest margin was 3.74 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, compared with 3.75 percent for the same period in 2002.
Net interest income was $18.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2003, compared with $19.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, net interest income was $58.6 million, compared with $55.1 million for the same period in 2002.
The Corporation continued to experience weak commercial loan demand and heavy prepayments on consumer and residential loans. Loans outstanding averaged $1.85 billion for the third quarter of 2003, compared with $1.92 billion for the second quarter of 2003. First Indiana's average core demand and savings deposits increased 9.5 percent on an annualized basis to $860.6 million for the third quarter of 2003 from $840.7 million for the second quarter of 2003, reflecting the success of the Corporation's continuing long-term strategy of building relationships with business and personal clients.
Non-interest income for the third quarter of 2003 was $12.5 million, compared with $11.1 million for the same period last year. Targeted areas of deposit fees, trust fees, and Somerset fees increased for the quarter as a result of the emphasis placed on developing fee income. Non-interest income as a percent of revenue was 40.0 percent in the third quarter of 2003, compared with 36.4 percent in the third quarter of 2002. Non-interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, was $39.0 million, compared with $35.6 million for the same period last year.
Non-interest expense was $21.4 million for the third quarter of 2003, compared with $19.7 million for the second quarter of 2003 and $16.8 million for the third quarter of 2002. Included in third quarter 2003 non-interest expense is a $1 million increase in salary expense resulting from an adjustment in the accrual for salaries. Additionally, non-interest expense increased for the third quarter of 2003 over the third quarter of 2002 due to the MetroBanCorp acquisition in January 2003 and additional staff expenses including wages, incentive accruals, and employee benefits expense.
First Indiana Bank remains "well-capitalized," the highest rating pursuant to the interagency guidelines for capital at national banks. The Corporation's tangible capital ratio was 7.81 percent at September 30, 2003, which compares favorably to a 6.87 percent median tangible capital ratio for publicly traded Midwest banks with $1 billion to $10 billion in assets at June 30, 2003.
McKinney; Owen B. Melton, Jr., president and COO; and William J. Brunner, chief financial officer, will host a conference call to discuss third quarter financial results on Wednesday, October 15, at 8:00 a.m. EST (Indianapolis time.)
