Unizan Financial Corp. Reports Second Quarter 2005 Financial Results CANTON, Ohio, July 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Unizan Financial Corp. (NASDAQ:UNIZ), today reported net income of $5.0 million for the quarter ended June 30 2005, or $0.23 per diluted share, a 10% increase compared with net income of $4.5 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2005 and a 60% increase compared with net income of $3.1 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2004. "Our second quarter results continue to reflect solid improvement in our net income during the first six months of 2005," said Roger L. Mann, Unizan Financial Corp. President and Chief Executive Officer. "I continue to be extremely pleased with the commitment demonstrated by our staff as we progress through the 2005 calendar year," concluded Mann. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $9.5 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, compared to $5.5 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, for the same period in 2004. Net interest income -- Net interest income was $17.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005, up 1.8% from the previous quarter and down 8.6% from the same quarter last year. The net interest margin was 3.07% for the second quarter of 2005 compared to 3.02% for the first quarter of 2005 and 3.09% for the second quarter of 2004 while average earning assets during the second quarter of 2005 declined 0.9% from the prior quarter and 8.1% from the year ago quarter. Provision for loan losses -- The provision for loan losses was $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005, compared to $1.3 million in the previous quarter and $3.0 million in the second quarter of 2004. The decrease compared to the year ago quarter was due to both a decrease in net charge-offs as well as a greater decline in loan balances. Net charge-offs were $2.0 million for the second quarter of 2005 compared to $1.8 million in the previous quarter and $2.6 million in the year ago quarter while loan balances decreased by $39.5 million in the second quarter of 2005 compared to $51.2 million in the first quarter of 2005 and $12.9 million in the year ago quarter. The decrease in net charge-offs from the second quarter of 2004 was attributed primarily to elimination of aircraft charge-offs which totaled $548 thousand in the 2004 quarter and were isolated to two borrowers as compared to no net charge-offs in the second quarter of 2005. Other income -- Other income, excluding net securities gains, was $7.1 million for the second quarter of 2005 compared with $7.0 million for both the first quarter of 2005 and second quarter of 2004. Customer service fees, representing service charges on deposits and fees for other banking services, increased by $134 thousand, or 8.5%, from the first quarter of 2005 and decreased by $135 thousand, or 7.3%, from the second quarter of 2004. The increase compared to the prior quarter was mainly attributed to pricing changes for insufficient funds transactions. The decrease from the second quarter of 2004 was mainly attributed to changes in consumer behavior, particularly with respect to increased utilization of electronic and other means for payment transactions, as well as increases in earnings credits due to higher short term interest rates which offset business account service charges. Gains on sales of loans totaled $1.1 million, compared with $1.2 million in the first quarter of 2005 and $686 thousand in the second quarter of 2004. During the second quarter of 2005, gains from the sale of the guaranteed portion of Small Business Administration (SBA) and other government guaranteed loans were $944 thousand, compared with $1.2 million of gains in the first quarter of 2005 and $480 thousand of gains in the second quarter of 2004. Second quarter 2004 gains from the sale of the guaranteed portion of SBA loans were impacted by the temporary suspension and limitations placed by the SBA on the 7(a) loan program during the first quarter of 2004. Gains from the sale of residential mortgage loans in the second quarter of 2005 were $125 thousand compared with $25 thousand of gains in the first quarter of 2005 and $206 thousand of gains in the second quarter of 2004. The increase from the prior quarter resulted primarily from declines in mortgage rates as well as the seasonality of mortgage origination activity. There were no net security gains in the second quarter of 2005 or the first quarter of 2005 compared to $181 thousand in the second quarter of 2004. The net gains in the second quarter of 2004 resulted primarily from the sale of the Company's $40 million trust preferred securities portfolio which reduced its credit exposure. Other expense -- Other expense was $15.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005, down $604 thousand, or 3.7%, from the previous quarter and down $3.0 million, or 16.1%, from the same quarter a year ago. These decreases were primarily attributed to salaries and benefits expense which declined $371 thousand as compared to the previous quarter and $2.9 million as compared to the prior year quarter. The decrease from the prior year quarter was partially due to the recognition in the 2004 period of $1.4 million in salary expense related to the settlement of certain stock options and $425 thousand for merger related severance accruals. In addition, salaries and benefits expense in general have declined as a result of lower staffing levels. Total full time equivalent employees have declined from 695 at June 30, 2004 to 627 at December 31, 2004 and 615 at June 30, 2005. Other expense also included accounting, legal and other professional fees totaling $1.6 million, $1.3 million and $873 thousand for the quarters ended June 30, 2005, March 31, 2005 and June 30, 2004, respectively. Such costs for the June 2005 and March 2005 quarters were primarily attributed to filling staffing vacancies, outsourcing certain functions that were previously performed internally, and activities associated with reviewing, implementing and maintaining controls in accordance with provisions of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The June 2004 quarter included $398 thousand of merger related legal and professional fees as compared to minimal amounts in the 2005 quarters. Provision for income taxes -- The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2005 was 30.1% compared to 28.4% in the previous quarter and the same quarter last year. The increase in the effective tax rate was a result of tax exempt income representing a relatively smaller portion of pre- tax earnings in 2005 as compared to 2004. Balance sheet -- Total assets at June 30, 2005 were $2.49 billion compared to $2.57 billion at the end of 2004 and $2.68 billion a year ago. Assets declined 3.3% from year end 2004 and 7.0% from June 30, 2004. Compared to a year ago, loans decreased by $177.3 million, or 9.0%, which continues to be primarily attributed to the closing of the aircraft lending centers, less emphasis being placed on indirect consumer lending, competitive factors involving rate and structure and a reduction in lending staff in areas where there is significant market overlap with Huntington Bancshares Incorporated ("Huntington" -- see Pending Merger below). Total deposits decreased by $11.7 million, or 0.6%, from the end of 2004 and by $38.2 million, or 2.0%, from a year ago while total borrowings have declined by $78.1 million from year end 2004 and by $167.2 million from a year ago. Asset quality -- At June 30, 2005, non-performing loans were $30.7 million, or 1.72% of total loans, compared to $30.2 million, or 1.61% of total loans, at December 31, 2004 and $27.8 million, or 1.42% of total loans, at June 30, 2004. Delinquent loans to total loans declined to 1.32% at June 30, 2005 compared to 1.60% at December 31, 2004 and 1.45% at June 30, 2004. Non-performing loans, excluding the portion of the loans guaranteed by the government, were $24.2 million at June 30, 2005 compared to $22.8 million at December 31, 2004 and $21.7 million at June 30, 2004. The $1.4 million increase in non-performing loans from year end 2004 was mainly due to a $1.6 million increase in non-performing commercial loans while the $2.5 million increase in non-performing loans from June 30, 2004 was mainly due to a $2.4 million increase in non-performing aircraft loans. Pending Merger As previously announced, the Company has extended its agreement to merge with Huntington to January 27, 2006. As previously announced, Huntington has entered into formal supervisory agreements with its banking regulators, the Federal Reserve Board and Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. On March 1, 2005, Huntington announced that it intends to resubmit its applications for regulatory approval of the merger with Unizan Financial Corp. once the regulatory written agreements have been terminated. No assurances, however, can be provided as to the ultimate timing or outcome of these matters.
