WHEELING, W.Va., Oct. 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Paul M. Limbert, President and Chief Executive Officer of WesBanco, Inc. (Nasdaq: WSBC), a Wheeling, West Virginia based multi-state bank holding company, today announced earnings for the third quarter and year-to-date periods ended September 30, 2010.

Net income available to common shareholders for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 was $9.2 million as compared to $2.3 million for the third quarter of 2009, representing an increase of 294%, while diluted earnings per common share were $0.34 for the third quarter of 2010, as compared to $0.09 per common share for the third quarter of 2009. For the nine month period, net income available to common shareholders was $25.3 million or $0.95 per common share, while for the same period in 2009, net income available to common shareholders was $11.4 million or $0.43 per common share. Net income available to common shareholders increased 122% in the first nine months of 2010 as compared to 2009.

Mr. Limbert commented, "WesBanco has continued to improve profitability, despite the slow economic recovery. Net income grew significantly in the first nine months of 2010, and the quarter ending September 30, 2010 is the fourth consecutive quarter of growth in net income on a linked-quarter basis. The growth in net income was achieved through improving net interest income, improving revenues from the Trust, Securities and Mortgage business units and the significant benefits of repurchasing TARP preferred shares in the third quarter of 2009, combined with a lower provision for the quarter and continued successful cost control throughout the organization."

Net Interest Income

Net interest income increased $1.6 million or 3.9% in the third quarter and $6.0 million or 5.1% in the year-to-date period of 2010 as compared to the same periods in 2009 due to the Bank's ability to manage rates on its loan and deposit accounts. Net interest income has now increased for six consecutive quarters. The net interest margin was 3.61% in the third quarter of 2010 and 3.58% for the nine months ending September 30, 2010, an increase of 26 basis points in both periods as compared to the same periods in 2009. The average rate on interest bearing liabilities decreased by 65 basis points in the third quarter and 61 basis points in the year-to-date period, while the rate on earning assets declined at a much slower pace of 32 basis points in the third quarter and 28 basis points in the first nine months. Lower rates on maturing higher rate certificates of deposit and an increase in lower cost deposits, primarily money market accounts, all contributed to the improvement in the cost of funds. In addition, the average balance for borrowings, which generally have higher interest rates, decreased by $315.3 million or 39.3% in the third quarter of 2010 from the third quarter of 2009, through planned reductions utilizing the liquidity obtained through the branch acquisition in the first quarter of 2009 and pay downs on loans. Improvements in the mix of deposits accounts, with CD's dropping to 41.8% of total deposits and demand deposits increasing to 25.3% of total deposits, also contributed to the improved cost of funds. The margin also benefited from a 8.9% increase in average non-interest bearing deposit balances as a result of retail marketing campaigns and a focus on treasury management deposits from business customers. Total borrowings excluding junior subordinated debt are down to 8.2% of total assets from 14.5% last year.

Provision and Allowance for Credit Losses

The provision for credit losses decreased $4.4 million in the third quarter and $1.1 million in the first nine months of 2010 compared to the same periods of 2009. The provision in the current quarter was stable compared to each of the preceding quarters in 2010.

Net charge-offs increased $5.6 million in the third quarter compared to the second quarter of 2010 due to $10.5 million of charge-offs relating to the sale of $11.6 million of commercial real estate and $3.0 million of commercial loans at carrying value. Previous reserves associated with these loans totaled $5.4 million. Net charge-offs in the current quarter also include $1.5 million attributable to a foreclosure on a $2.9 million non-accrual commercial real estate loan. The allowance for loan losses decreased $6.2 million compared to June 30, 2010 and $2.2 million compared to December 31, 2009 due primarily to the reduction of required reserves attributable to loans that were sold or otherwise charged down in the current quarter. The allowance for loan losses was 1.78% of total loans at September 30, 2010 compared to 1.76% at December 31, 2009 and 1.74% at September 30, 2009.

Non-accrual loans decreased $11.7 million from year-end primarily as a result of the sale or foreclosure of loans in the current and prior quarters and other successful efforts to exit or reduce this category of loans. However, total non-performing loans increased $8.8 million in the third quarter compared to December 31, 2009 due to a $20.5 million increase in renegotiated loans that continue to perform in accordance with their modified terms. Loans past due 30 days or more and accruing interest decreased $9.4 million in the current quarter compared to June 30, 2010 and were also slightly down from year end.

Non-Interest Income and Non-Interest Expense

For the third quarter of 2010 non-interest income decreased $3.6 million and for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 it decreased $2.7 million as compared to the same period in 2009. The quarterly decrease was principally due to a $1.8 million decline in service charges on deposits resulting from changes in overdraft fee structures mandated by recent regulatory changes, reduced income from bank owned life insurance due to a benefit claim recognized in the third quarter of 2009 and increased losses on other real estate owned. The year-to-date decrease is due to decreases in service charges on deposits and $3.1 million in year-to-date write-downs in other real estate owned of a hotel property. Improvements in non-interest income included trust fee growth of 12.9% in the first nine months of 2010 as compared to the first nine months of 2009 due to new business developed this year and improved market conditions. In addition, revenue increased in most other major non-interest operating areas including electronic banking fees, securities brokerage revenue and mortgage banking.

Non-interest expenses decreased $2.0 million in the third quarter and $6.4 million year-to-date as compared to the same periods in 2009. WesBanco significantly reduced expenses in most expense categories including salaries and wages, employee benefits, marketing and professional fees, somewhat offset by increases in foreclosure-related property expenses and occupancy expenses. In addition, the year-to-date expense reduction includes a decrease in FDIC insurance of $2.1 million primarily due to a special assessment of $2.6 million in the second quarter of 2009, partially offset by premium increases due to higher deposit levels.

Financial Condition

Total assets decreased 3.6% from last September, while decreasing only 0.6% as compared to year end 2009. Portfolio loans decreased 5.2% from last September, primarily due to continued strategic decreases in residential real estate loans, a focus on reasonable credit terms for borrowers and compressed demand for commercial and consumer loans as a result of the slow economic recovery. Total deposits increased by 4.1%, primarily due to a 25.8% increase in money market deposits, which, combined with smaller increases in demand and savings deposits more than offset a 6.7% decrease in CDs. The reduction in CDs was due to planned reductions of non-relationship customers acquired with the branch acquisition in 2009. Total borrowings, excluding junior subordinated debt, decreased by $365.2 million or 45.4% as compared to September 30, 2009 and 35.8% as compared to December 31, 2009, funded by the increased deposits and the decreases in loans. The planned deleveraging of the balance sheet, together with weak loan demand as a result of the prolonged recession, resulted in a reduction of total average earning assets by 4.9% in the third quarter and 3.6% for the nine month period as compared to 2009.

WesBanco continues to maintain strong regulatory capital ratios of 8.17% tier I leverage, 11.64% tier I risk-based capital, and 12.89% total risk-based capital, all of which improved in each of the last four consecutive quarters and are above the "well-capitalized" standards promulgated by bank regulators. Total tangible equity to tangible assets (non-GAAP measure) improved to 6.34% at September 30, 2010 from 6.27% at June 30, 2010 and from 5.88% at year end, primarily due to balance sheet management strategies and a 3.3% increase in shareholders' equity from December 31, 2009. The increase in shareholders' equity was the result of improved operating results and increases in other comprehensive income due to higher unrealized securities gains.

WesBanco is a multi-state bank holding company with total assets of approximately $5.4 billion, operating through 112 branch locations and 134 ATMs in West Virginia, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. WesBanco's banking subsidiary is WesBanco Bank, Inc., headquartered in Wheeling, West Virginia. WesBanco also operates an insurance brokerage company, WesBanco Insurance Services, Inc., and a full service broker/dealer, WesBanco Securities, Inc.
