Commenting on the fourth quarter 2009, Robert D. Davis, President and Chief Executive Officer of VIST Financial Corp. said, "Our performance in 2009 and the fourth quarter of the year continues to be heavily influenced by the national and regional recession. In spite of the economic headwinds, we are pleased with our linked quarter improvement in core operating earnings, significant deposit growth, good non-interest income growth and relative stabilization of our credit quality metrics, particularly in the second half of the year. Our net interest margin increased significantly during the year driven by disciplined commercial and consumer loan growth and pricing funded by strong core deposit growth and the attendant reduction in the overall cost of our deposits. Exclusive of FDIC insurance charges and other real estate expense, our overall expenses were flat." Davis concluded, "Given the underlying collateral coverage of our non-performing loans, reserve levels and capital position, we believe we are poised for growth across our banking, insurance and wealth management businesses as our regional and national economies improve. Our net charge-offs are manageable. Our non-performing loans are concentrated in a few credits and are well secured based on current appraisals and the rate of their growth stabilized somewhat during the most recent quarter."
Net Interest Income
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2009, net interest income before the provision for loan losses decreased 0.2% to $35,260,000 compared to $35,341,000 for the same period in 2008. The decrease in net interest income for the twelve months resulted from a 4.9% decrease in total interest income to $62,740,000 from $65,978,000 and a 10.3% decrease in total interest expense to $27,480,000 from $30,637,000. For the three months ended December 31, 2009, net interest income before the provision for loan losses increased 10.1% to $9,465,000 compared to $8,595,000 for the same period in 2008. The increase in net interest income for the three months resulted from a 0.2% decrease in total interest income to $16,062,000 from $16,091,000 and a 12.0% reduction in total interest expense to $6,597,000 from $7,496,000.
The decrease in total interest income for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2009 resulted primarily from lower interest rates compared to the same periods in 2008. Average earning assets for the three and twelve month periods ended December 31, 2009 increased $95,326,000 and $84,739,000, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2008 due primarily to growth in commercial and consumer loans and available for sale investment securities.
The reduction in total interest expense for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2009 resulted primarily from lower interest rates compared to the same periods in 2008. Average interest-bearing liabilities for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2009 increased $80,064,000 and $74,294,000, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2008. The increases in interest-bearing liabilities are due primarily to an increase in average interest-bearing deposits for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2009 of $164,220,000 and $165,992,000, respectively, offset by a net decrease in average short term borrowings and average long term debt for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2009 of $83,570,000 and $91,321,000, respectively.
The provision for loan losses for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009 was $8,572,000 compared to $4,835,000 for the same period in 2008. The provision for loan losses for the three months ended December 31, 2009 was $2,047,000 compared to $2,250,000 for the same period in 2008. As of December 31, 2009, the allowance for loan losses was $11,449,000 compared to $8,124,000 as of December 31, 2008, an increase of 40.9%. The increase in the provision is due primarily to current challenging economic conditions, an increase in outstanding loans, and the result of management's evaluation and classification of the credit quality of the loan portfolio utilizing a qualitative and quantitative internal loan review process. At December 31, 2009, total non-performing loans were $26,951,000 or 3.0% of total loans compared to $10,844,000 or 1.2% of total loans at December 31, 2008. The $16,107,000 increase in non-performing loans was due primarily to two commercial construction and development credit relationships totaling approximately $9,370,000. Management considers the current allowance for loan losses adequate as of December 31, 2009.
Net interest income after the provision for loan losses for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2009 was $7,418,000 and $26,688,000, respectively, as compared to $6,345,000 and $30,506,000, respectively, for the same periods in 2008.
For the three months ended December 31, 2009, the net interest margin on a fully taxable equivalent basis was 3.31% as compared to 3.27% for the same period in 2008. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2009, the net interest margin on a fully taxable equivalent basis was 3.21% as compared to 3.45% for the same period in 2008. The increase in net interest margin for the comparative three month periods ended December 31, 2009 was due mainly to lower cost of funds on interest-bearing deposits and short term borrowings compared to the same period in 2008. The decrease in net interest margin for the comparative twelve month period ended December 31, 2009 was due mainly to lower yields on commercial and consumer loans and available for sale investment securities as a result of decreases in short-term interest rates over the same period in 2008.
Non-Interest Income
Total non-interest income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009 increased 47.2% to $17,431,000 compared to $11,839,000 for the same period in 2008.

For the three months ended December 31, 2009, revenue from mortgage banking activity increased to $292,000 from $87,000, or 235.6%, for the same period in 2008. The increase for the comparative twelve and three month periods is primarily due to an increase in the volume of loans sold into the secondary mortgage market. The Company operates its mortgage banking activities through VIST Mortgage, a division of VIST Bank.
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2009, revenue from commissions and fees from insurance sales increased 8.6% to $12,254,000 compared to $11,284,000 for the same period in 2008. For the three months ended December 31, 2009, revenue from commissions and fees from insurance sales increased 8.7% to $3,000,000 compared to $2,761,000 for the same period in 2008. The increase for the comparative twelve and three month periods is mainly attributed to an increase in commission income on group insurance products due to the acquisition of Fisher Benefits Consulting in September 2008. VIST Insurance, LLC is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2009, revenue from brokerage and investment advisory commissions and fees activity decreased to $714,000 from $813,000, or 12.2%, for the same period in 2008.

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2009, earnings on investment in life insurance decreased to $391,000 from $690,000, or 43.3%, for the same period in 2008. For the three months ended December 31, 2009, earnings on investment in life insurance decreased to $111,000 from $187,000, or 40.6%, for the same period in 2008. The decrease for the comparative twelve and three month periods is due primarily to decreased earnings credited on the Company's bank owned life insurance ("BOLI").
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2009, other income including gain on sale of loans increased to $2,498,000 from $2,421,000, or 3.2%, for the same period in 2008 due primarily to an increase in interchange fee income. For the three months ended December 31, 2009, other income including gain on sale of loans decreased to $474,000 from $975,000, or 51.3%, for the same period in 2008. The decrease for the comparative three month periods is due primarily to a decrease in the fair value of the Company's junior subordinated debt and interest rate swaps.
Net realized gains on sales of available for sale securities were $344,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009 compared to net realized losses on sales of available for sale securities of $7,230,000 for the same period in 2008.

Sales of available for sale securities during 2009 were primarily related to the management of the Company's liquidity and asset/liability management strategies. Net realized losses on sales of available for sale securities for the twelve and three month periods in 2008 were primarily due to the loss on the sale of approximately $7.3 million in perpetual preferred stock associated with the federal takeover of government sponsored enterprises ("GSE's") Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, placed into conservatorship by the Federal Housing Finance Agency and the U.S. Treasury and two equity holdings.
For the twelve and three month periods ended December 31, 2009, net credit impairment losses recognized in earnings resulting from other-than-temporary impairment ("OTTI") losses on available for sale investment securities were $2,468,000 and $150,000, respectively.
