Community Bank System Reports Record Quarterly Results
Earnings increase 39% over prior year
CBU enters Definitive Agreement to Acquire The Wilber Corporation
SYRACUSE, N.Y. — October 26, 2010 — Community Bank System, Inc. (NYSE: CBU) reported record third quarter 2010 net income of $17.3 million, or $0.51 per share, an increase of 39% compared to the $12.5 million, or $0.38 per share reported for the third quarter of 2009. Year-to-date net income of $47.4 million, or $1.42 per share, was 46% higher than the $0.97 per share reported in the first nine months of 2009.
Total revenue for the third quarter of 2010 was $69.2 million, an increase of $6.6 million, or 10.5%, over the third quarter of last year, including a $4.5 million increase in net interest income. The improvement in net interest income was driven by a 1.5% increase in average earning assets and a 30-basis point improvement in net interest margin to 4.08%. The quarterly provision for loan losses of $1.4 million was $1.0 million lower than the third quarter of 2009, reflective of lower net charge-offs and the continuation of generally stable and favorable asset quality metrics. Total operating expenses of $44.4 million increased just $0.2 million, or 0.5%, from the third quarter of 2009, reflective of ongoing cost management initiatives.
“A continuation of revenue growth, operating expense control, and excellent asset quality drove stronger operating results for the third quarter,” said President and Chief Executive Officer Mark E. Tryniski. “In an operating environment that continues to challenge many, we grew both net interest income and non-interest income, improved our net interest margin, and generated organic earning asset and deposit growth during the quarter. The cost improvement programs developed and implemented in 2009 contributed noticeably to our improved year-to-date operating expense results, and continued the favorable trend in our efficiency ratio. We also delivered another quarter of sound asset quality, with net charge-offs of $1.4 million, or 0.18% of total loans. We recently announced a definitive agreement to acquire The Wilber Corporation which provides an entry into adjoining markets that substantially expands our presence in the eastern half of Upstate New York. The transaction is expected to be accretive to earnings per share in 2011, exclusive of one-time acquisition related charges.”
Third quarter net interest income grew to $46.3 million, an increase of 10.7% above third quarter 2009, resulting from an increase in interest-earning assets and a higher net interest margin. The Company reinvested a portion of its substantial liquidity position during the year, while retaining a significant net liquidity position throughout the quarter. Lower market interest rates and continued disciplined deposit pricing resulted in a 33-basis point reduction in the total cost of funds, compared to the third quarter of 2009. This was modestly offset by a three-basis point decline in earning asset yields, including cash equivalents, reflective of the more productive deployment of net liquidity. On a linked quarter basis, the Company’s net interest margin declined two basis points, reflective of a four-basis point reduction in the cost of funds, and a seven-basis point decline in earning asset yields.

Third quarter non-interest income increased $2.1 million, or 10.1% over the same period last year, and included a $1.0 million increase in mortgage-banking related revenue, reflective of the robust secondary market activities in the quarter. Deposit and other banking service fees were up $0.4 million, or 3.3% above last year’s third quarter, driven by growth in core accounts and debit card-related revenues. The Company’s employee benefits administration and consulting businesses posted a 4.1% increase in revenue over the third quarter 2009, reflecting a combination of new clients and additional services provided, as well as increased asset-based fee income. Third quarter wealth management revenues of $2.4 million increased 23.0% from a weak third quarter of 2009, and were reflective of favorable market valuation comparisons and generally improving demand.
Quarterly operating expenses of $44.4 million were $0.2 million above the third quarter of 2009, reflective of solid cost management across all functional areas of the Company. Implementation of several expense reduction programs allowed the Company to report lower year-to-date total operating expenses despite year-over-year increases in merit-based compensation, as well as higher technology and volume-driven processing costs. The Company continued to have significant resources dedicated to the conversion of its core banking systems completed in the third quarter.
Financial Position
Average earning assets for the third quarter were $4.87 billion, up $3.4 million from the second quarter of 2010. Despite lower quarter-end balances, average loans increased $14.0 million from second quarter levels. Average investment securities, including cash equivalents of $50.5 million, declined $10.6 million in the quarter. Total deposits grew $26.4 million in the quarter, including the continuation of our targeted trend of a higher proportion of core (non-time) deposit balances, which increased $75.2 million from the second quarter of 2010. Compared to the third quarter of 2009, average earning assets increased $71.5 million, comprised of additional investment securities, including cash equivalents, and a small increase in average loan balances. Average deposits for the third quarter of $3.95 billion, were up $81.2 million from the third quarter of 2009, and reflected organic growth in core deposits of $372.9 million, offset by a reduction in time deposits of $291.7 million. Average borrowings for the quarter of $832.6 million were down $25.9 million from the third quarter of 2009. Quarter-end shareholders’ equity of $615.8 million was up $16.0 million from the second quarter, and was $49.9 million higher than September 30, 2009. The Company’s net tangible equity to net tangible assets ratio improved to 6.21% at September 30, 2010, up 106-basis points from the level reported at the end of last year’s third quarter.
“We have continued to productively and appropriately expand our earning asset base in 2010 despite soft market conditions,” said Mr. Tryniski. “Our loan loss reserves at quarter-end were $42.6 million, or approximately 2.38 times our total non-performing loans of $17.9 million. Our favorable asset quality position, which exists across all of our portfolios, reflects our disciplined and balanced approach to business regardless of economic or market conditions.”
Asset Quality
Third quarter net charge-offs were $1.4 million, compared to $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2010, and $1.6 million in the third quarter of 2009, further highlighting the Company’s stable and favorable asset quality trends. The third quarter net charge-off ratio of 0.18% was slightly better than the 0.21% ratio experienced in both the first half of 2010 and last year’s third quarter.
Nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans at September 30, 2010 were 0.58%, down from 0.68% at the end of the second quarter, and up one basis point from 0.57% at the end of third quarter 2009. The total delinquency ratio of 1.64% was up 19 basis points from June 30, 2010, and was 13 basis points higher than September 30, 2009. Nonperforming assets to total assets of 0.37% was four basis points below the level reported at the end of the second quarter and two basis points above the favorable 0.35% ratio reported a year ago. These generally stable asset quality metrics are significantly better than comparative peer averages and illustrate the continued effectiveness of the Company’s disciplined risk management and underwriting standards.

The third quarter provision for loan losses of $1.4 million was $0.65 million lower than the second quarter of 2010 and $0.98 million below the third quarter of 2009. The third quarter’s provision for loan losses was $0.07 million, or 1% higher than quarterly net charge-offs, indicative of the decrease in nonperforming loans and the small decline in the total loan balances. The ratio of loan loss allowance to total loans outstanding was 1.38% as of September 30, 2010, compared to 1.38% at June 30, 2010, and 1.33% at the end of the third quarter 2009.
Dividend Declaration
In April, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a $0.02, or 9.1%, increase in its quarterly dividend on its common stock. Mr. Tryniski commented, “The payment of a meaningful dividend is an important component of our commitment to provide consistent and favorable long-term returns to our shareholders. This increase reflects the strength of our current operating performance.” Consistent with that increase, the Company’s Board declared a $0.24 per share dividend payable on January 10, 2011, to shareholders of record as of December 15, 2010. The increased cash dividend represents an annualized yield of 4.1% based on the closing share price of $23.23 on October 25, 2010.
During the second quarter of 2009 the Company’s Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program for up to one million common shares effective through December 31, 2011. The Company’s shares may be repurchased from time to time in open market transactions or privately negotiated transactions in accordance with securities laws and regulations. The timing and extent of repurchases will depend on market conditions and other corporate considerations. There were no share repurchases in 2009 or the first nine months of 2010.
