WHEELING, W.Va., Jan. 24, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Paul M. Limbert, President and Chief Executive Officer of WesBanco, Inc. (NASDAQ Global Market: WSBC), a Wheeling, West Virginia based multi-state bank holding company, today announced increased earnings for the year and fourth quarter ended December 31, 2011.

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $43.8 million compared to $35.6 million for the same period in 2010, representing an increase of 23.0%, while diluted earnings per share were $1.65 compared to $1.34 per share for 2010. For the fourth quarter of 2011, net income was $10.6 million compared to $10.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2010, while diluted earnings per share were $0.40 compared to $0.39 per share for the fourth quarter of 2010.

Mr. Limbert commented, "WesBanco continued to improve earnings in 2011 through increased net interest income, lower operating expenses and a lower provision for credit losses compared to 2010. Continued focus on credit quality as we emerge from the recession resulted in significant decreases in non-performing assets, classified, criticized and past due loans and OREO in 2011. In addition, trust, securities brokerage and insurance operations continued to provide significant non-interest income with trust assets under management increasing again in 2011."

Net Interest Income

Net interest income increased $3.3 million or 2.0% for the 2011 year due to increases in the net interest margin. The improved net interest margin was caused by the cost of funds declining faster than the decline in asset yields. For the fourth quarter of 2011, net interest income decreased $0.4 million or 1.0% compared to the same quarter of 2010. This was primarily due to the continued low interest rate environment, resulting in a reduction in the yield on earning assets at a more rapid pace than the decrease in average rates paid on interest bearing liabilities. In addition, the fourth quarter reflects a change in asset mix, with a higher percentage of lower-yielding investments.

The net interest margin was 3.66% for 2011 and 3.56% in the fourth quarter, an increase of 6 basis points and a decrease of 10 basis points respectively, compared to the same periods in 2010. The average rate on interest bearing liabilities decreased by 35 basis points in 2011, and 26 basis points in the fourth quarter, while the rate on earning assets declined by 27 and 33 basis points, respectively. Rates earned on the securities and loan portfolios have declined through reinvestment at current lower interest rates with competitive pressures resulting in decreasing rates on high quality loans. However, interest income from the investment portfolio increased 2.9% in 2011 and 4.7% in the fourth quarter compared to 2010, due to the increase in average outstanding balances. The improvement in the cost of funds for the year was due to lower offered rates on maturing certificates of deposit, an increase in balances of lower-cost products including checking, money market and savings accounts, and lower balances of higher cost FHLB borrowings. Average total deposits increased 3.9% in the fourth quarter compared to the fourth quarter of 2010. The average balance for FHLB borrowings, which have the highest average interest cost at 3.35% representing 11.4% of interest expense, decreased 32.9% in the fourth quarter of 2011 from the fourth quarter of 2010 through scheduled maturities. The FHLB maturities were funded primarily by the increase in deposits. Improvements in the mix of deposit accounts also contributed to the improved cost of funds, with average CDs decreasing to 36.9% of total average deposits in the fourth quarter, from 41.2% in the fourth quarter of 2010, while total transaction account types increased to 63.1% of total deposits.

Provision and Allowance for Credit Losses

The provision for credit losses decreased $9.3 million for 2011 compared to 2010. The provision decreased $1.2 million in the fourth quarter compared to the third quarter of 2011 and was substantially unchanged compared to the fourth quarter of 2010. Net charge-offs for the fourth quarter decreased $7.5 million compared to the third quarter of 2011 but increased $3.3 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2010. The sequential quarter decrease was primarily due to $10.3 million of charge-offs in the third quarter relating to the sale of non-performing commercial real estate loans. The increase in the fourth quarter compared to the fourth quarter of 2010 was attributable to higher levels of losses due to the sluggish economy which impacted all segments of the loan portfolio throughout the year. However, fluctuations in sequential quarter charge-offs are the result of the timing of recognizing losses in the portfolio and are therefore not the best indicator of overall credit quality.

Classified and criticized loans decreased $62.0 million or 19.4% compared to December 31, 2010, of which, $17.2 million was attributable to the sale of non-performing loans in the third quarter with the remainder of the decrease resulting from improvements in credit quality, principal reductions or other orderly exits of certain loans, and other charge-offs. Classified and criticized loans decreased $12.5 million or 4.6% in the fourth quarter compared to the previous quarter of 2011. Loans past due 30 days or more and accruing interest at December 31, 2011 decreased 22.9% compared to December 31, 2010.

Total non-performing loans at December 31, 2011 decreased $9.4 million or 9.8% from December 31, 2010, and increased $2.7 million or 3.2% from September 30, 2011. Non-accrual loans at December 31, 2011, which comprise the greatest portion of total non-performing loans, increased $8.7 million or 17.8% compared to the fourth quarter of 2010, but were relatively unchanged compared to September 30, 2011. The increase from the end of 2010 was the result of certain troubled debt restructured loans being placed on non-accrual, primarily during the first six months of 2011, partially offset by the sale of certain non-accrual loans in the third quarter of 2011, and Ohio residential mortgages in foreclosure due to the protracted foreclosure timeline in that state. Troubled debt restructurings accruing interest decreased $18.1 million or 38.1% compared to December 31, 2010 also primarily due to the loan sale and the movement of the aforementioned restructured loans to non-accrual.

The allowance for loan losses decreased by 10.2% compared to December 31, 2010, and 0.5% compared to September 30, 2011. The decrease in the allowance during 2011 was due primarily to the reduction in classified and criticized loans, lower delinquency, and the elimination of reserves attributable to loans that were charged-off during the year, including loans that were sold in the third quarter of 2011. The allowance for loan losses was 1.69% of total loans at December 31, 2011, 1.70% at September 30, 2011 and 1.86% at December 31, 2010.

Non-Interest Income and Non-Interest Expense

For 2011, non-interest income increased $0.3 million or 0.5%, and, in the fourth quarter, increased $0.8 million or 5.1% compared to the same periods of 2010. The annual increase was primarily due to $1.6 million increase in electronic banking fees due to increased transaction volume, a $1.3 million or 8.5% increase in trust fees through new business and fee increases, and a decrease in losses on other real estate owned of $2.8 million. These improvements were partially offset by a $2.4 million decrease in net securities gains, a $0.9 million decrease in bank-owned life insurance due to a benefit claim recognized in the fourth quarter of 2010, and a decrease in service charges on deposits of $2.0 million due to regulatory changes effective in the third quarter of last year. Service charges on deposits stabilized in the second half of 2011 compared to both the second half of 2010 and the first six months of 2011. Also for the year, net gains on sale of mortgage loans decreased $0.9 million as more loans with terms of 15 years and less were being retained in 2011. The quarterly increase was primarily due to a $0.8 million increase in net securities gains, a $0.5 million increase in electronic banking fees and a decrease in losses on other real estate owned of $0.3 million. These improvements were partially offset by the aforementioned decrease in bank-owned life insurance.

Non-interest expense decreased $0.9 million or 0.6% for 2011 and was nearly unchanged in the fourth quarter, compared to the same periods in 2010. For the year, FDIC insurance decreased $1.9 million due to a new calculation by the FDIC effective earlier this year and equipment expense decreased $1.2 million due to lower service agreement and depreciation expense. These decreases were partially offset by a $1.6 million or 2.9% increase in salaries and wages due to routine annual adjustments to compensation, and a $1.0 million increase in marketing, primarily from customer incentives that were part of promotions focused on growing demand deposits and home equity loans. In the fourth quarter FDIC insurance decreased $0.6 million, while salaries and wages increased $0.3 million or 2.2%, and employee benefits increased $0.4 million from higher health care costs. WesBanco's efficiency ratio was 59.5% for 2011, down from 60.9% for 2010, and 59.8% in the fourth quarter compared to 60.4% in the fourth quarter of 2010.

Financial Condition

Total assets at December 31, 2011 increased 3.3% or $174.6 million from the prior year-end primarily from increased investments in securities, funded by increases in deposits. Available funding was also utilized to pay down higher-cost FHLB borrowings by $85.4 million or 33.7%. The investment portfolio has grown 12.8% to $1.6 billion at December 31, 2011 which provides significant amounts of liquidity as well as additional interest income.

Portfolio loan production increased significantly in 2011 with new loan volume at the highest level in the last five years. Categories with increases in loan production included commercial, commercial real estate and personal loans with commensurate improvement in fee income for the year. Commercial loan production in 2011 was 44% greater than in 2010. In addition, the bank began retaining more residential mortgage loans in the portfolio during the year, rather than selling them to the secondary market. However, total portfolio loans at December 31, 2011 decreased 1.5% or $49.3 million from December 31, 2010. The net decrease in portfolio loans resulted primarily from the payoffs of performing commercial real estate loans that were refinanced in the secondary market or as a result of borrowers selling properties, and pay-downs on commercial lines of credit. However, excluding the effect of the loan sale in the third quarter of 2011, portfolio loans decreased only 1.0% for the year and, in the fourth quarter loan growth was achieved in all categories other than commercial real estate.

Total deposits increased 5.3% or $221.4 million compared to December 31, 2010, due to an increase in all deposit categories other than CDs, which decreased 6.4% due to planned reductions through lower offered rates for new and rollover CDs. This growth included deposits received from customers participating in Marcellus shale gas activity, which exceeded $125 million in initial deposits for the year. The total increase in lower cost deposit categories other than CDs was 13.5%, with non-interest bearing demand deposits increasing 19.4% as a result of marketing campaigns, customer incentives, additional wealth management deposits, and treasury management and other business banking initiatives for commercial customers. Total non-interest bearing checking accounts are now 16.1% of total deposits compared to 14.2% at year-end 2010. WesBanco's loan-to-deposit ratio was 74% at year-end. This ratio is an indication of funding capability for more loan growth.

WesBanco continued to strengthen its regulatory capital ratios with tier I leverage at 8.71%, tier I risk-based capital at 13.06%, and total risk-based capital at 14.32%, all of which improved in each of the last nine consecutive quarters. Both consolidated and bank-level regulatory capital ratios are well above the applicable "well-capitalized" standards promulgated by bank regulators. Total tangible equity to tangible assets (non-GAAP measure) was 6.68% at December 31, 2011, a 35 basis point increase from 6.33% at December 31, 2010, primarily due to a $26.9 million increase in shareholders' equity. The increase in shareholders' equity was due to improved operating results net of dividends declared. WesBanco increased its quarterly dividend to $0.15 per share in February and to $0.16 per share in August, representing a cumulative 14.3% increase over the prior year rate.

WesBanco is a multi-state bank holding company with total assets of approximately $5.5 billion, operating through 112 branch locations and 122 ATMs in West Virginia, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. WesBanco's banking subsidiary is WesBanco Bank, Inc., headquartered in Wheeling, West Virginia.

    (1) See non-GAAP financial measures for additional information relating to the calculation of this item.
    (2) The yield on earning assets, net interest margin, net interest spread and efficiency ratios are presented on a
     fully taxable-equivalent (FTE) and annualized basis. The FTE basis adjusts for the tax benefit of income on
     certain tax-exempt loans and investments.   WesBanco believes this measure to be the preferred industry
     measurement of net interest income and provides a relevant comparison between taxable and non-taxable amounts.
