STRONG PERFORMANCE POSTED BY LAKE CITY BANK
Record Income Reported for Second Quarter
Warsaw, Indiana (July 17, 2006) Lakeland Financial Corporation (Nasdaq/LKFN), parent company of Lake City Bank, today reported record quarterly net income of $4.8 million for the second quarter of 2006. Net income increased 9% over the $4.4 million reported for the second quarter of 2005. Diluted net income per share for the quarter was $0.39 versus $0.36 for the comparable period of 2005. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was a record $9.4 million, an increase of 12%, versus $8.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. Diluted net income per common share was $0.76 for the six months ended June 30, 2006, versus $0.69 for the six months ended June 30, 2005.
The Company also announced that the Board of Directors approved a cash dividend for the second quarter of $0.125 per share, payable on August 7, 2006 to shareholders of record as of July 25, 2006. The quarterly dividend represents a 9% increase over the quarterly dividends paid in 2005.
Michael L. Kubacki, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, Led by very strong loan growth in the quarter, we are pleased with our results. Weve generated $78 million of loan growth in our Northern Indiana footprint during 2006, an increase of more than 6% since year end 2005. This exceptional level of growth reflects the ongoing success Lake City Bank is having in our expanding markets.
Average total loans for the second quarter of 2006 were $1.253 billion versus $1.061 billion during the second quarter of 2005, an increase of 18%. Total loans as of June 30, 2006 were $1.276 billion, an increase of $51.1 million, versus $1.225 billion as of March 31, 2006. Total loans as of June 30, 2005 were $1.094 billion.
Kubacki observed, We further benefited from healthy fee growth during the quarter, with noninterest income of $4.8 million representing a linked quarter increase of 8% over the first quarter of 2006 led by a 14% increase in service charges on deposit accounts. In addition, our Wealth Advisory and Investment departments combined for an increase of 11% growth versus the first quarter of 2006. For the first six months, fee income is up 11% versus the same period in 2005. Our strategy, which emphasizes aggressive and effective cross selling of fee-based services, is clearly producing results.
Kubacki further commented, With a challenging interest rate environment impacting our net interest margin, our ability to maintain the growth of fee revenue while at the same time tightly managing our expense structure will be critical to our performance for the balance of 2006. Weve consistently managed our noninterest expense growth to be at or below 5% and 2006s performance is continuing that trend.
Lakeland Financials allowance for loan losses as of June 30, 2006 was $13.8 million, compared to $13.2 million as of March 31, 2006 and $11.7 million as of June 30, 2005. Non-performing assets totaled $6.7
1
million as of June 30, 2006 versus $7.0 million as of March 31, 2006 and $9.2 million on June 30, 2005. The ratio of non-performing assets to loans was 0.52% on June 30, 2006 compared to 0.58% at March 31, 2006 and 0.84% at June 30, 2005. Net charge offs totaled $81,000 in the second quarter of 2006, versus net recoveries of $9,000 during the first quarter of 2006, and net charge offs of $54,000 in the second quarter of 2005.
Kubacki added, The historical quality of our loan portfolio is reflected in the low level of loan charge offs, which totaled only $72,000, or 0.01% of average loans, during the first six months of the year. The Lake City Bank commercial and retail lending teams have done an excellent job managing the risks inherent in our portfolio.
For the three months ended June 30, 2006, Lakeland Financials average equity to average assets ratio was 7.07% compared to 7.16% for the first quarter of 2006 and 7.27% for the second quarter of 2005. Average stockholders' equity for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 was $119.4 million versus $116.0 million for the first quarter of 2006 and $106.6 million for the second quarter of 2005. Average total deposits were $1.382 billion for the second quarter of 2006, versus $1.275 billion for the first quarter of 2006 and $1.130 billion for the second quarter of 2005.
