In making this announcement, William J. Wagner, President and CEO, noted, "We are pleased to report positive earnings when many institutions in our industry are reporting operating losses. In addition, our core earnings components for the quarter were strong with a net interest margin of 3.54% of average assets, non-interest income of 0.79% of average assets, and noninterest expense of 2.53% of average assets. Unfortunately, economic conditions have caused our Company to record higher provisions for loan losses which has greatly impacted earnings over the past year. We also continued to improve our balance sheet, as we experienced significant growth in home equity and commercial loans during the quarter while also realizing good growth in deposits, with an emphasis on checking accounts and savings accounts."

The Company also announced that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.22 per share payable on November 12, 2009, to shareholders of record as of November 2, 2009. This represents the 60(th) consecutive quarter in which the Company has paid a cash dividend.

Net interest income decreased by $700,000, or 1.2%, for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 compared to the same quarter last year. Net interest margin for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 was 3.54% compared to 3.71% for the quarter ended September 30, 2008. The decrease resulted primarily from the Company carrying, on average, $298.2 million more in overnight funds than in the previous year earning an average rate of 0.30% compared to an average rate of 2.69% in the previous year. As a result of strong deposit growth combined with a reduction of the Company's mortgage loan portfolio the Company was carrying historically high levels of overnight funds.

The provision for loan losses increased by $2.8 million to $9.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 compared to $7.0 million for the same quarter last year. This increase is primarily the result of continued weakness in economic conditions and the resulting impact on the Company's borrowers. Loans with payments 90 days or more delinquent have increased to $117.1 million at September 30, 2009 from $99.2 million at December 31, 2008 and $94.9 million at September 30, 2008. Loans 90 days or more delinquent were $122.6 million at June 30, 2009. Net losses from loans charged-off were $8.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 compared to $2.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2008. Net losses from loans charged-off were $14.5 million and $6.5 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Noninterest expense increased by $2.3 million, or 5.3%, to $45.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 from $42.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 primarily due to increases in FDIC insurance assessments and marketing expenses. Federal deposit insurance premiums increased by $1.4 million, or 133.4%, as the Company was able to use available credits in the prior year to partially offset premiums. Marketing expenses increased by $926,000, or 78.7%, to $2.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 from $1.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2008. The increase is primarily the result of the Company's marketing campaign focused on the acquisition of checking account relationships.

Net income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 of $31.6 million, or $0.65 per diluted share, represents a decrease of $5.2 million, or 14.2% compared to net income of $36.9 million, or $0.76 per diluted share, for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008. This decrease resulted primarily from the Company recording a provision for loan losses which was $14.7 million, or 116.4%, higher than the previous year. The increase in the provision was considered necessary given the current economic environment. Also contributing to the decrease in income was a $3.3 million special assessment by the FDIC. Partially offsetting these reductions was an $11.8 million, or 7.4%, increase in net interest income. The annualized returns on average shareholders' equity and average assets were 6.68% and 0.60%, respectively, for the current nine-month period compared to 7.92% and 0.72%, respectively, in the prior year.
