WYOMISSING, Pa., July 15 PA-VISTFinCorp-2Qerns
WYOMISSING, Pa., July 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- VIST Financial Corp., formerly Leesport Financial Corp., ("Company") (Nasdaq: VIST) reported net income for the six months ended June 30, 2008 of $3,027,000, a 4.3% increase over net income of $2,903,000 for the same period in 2007. Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 was $1,468,000, a 41.3% decrease over net income of $2,502,000 for the same period in 2007. Total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $42,500,000 as compared to $41,132,000 for the same period in 2007, a 3.3% increase. Total revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 was $21,083,000 as compared to $22,233,000 for the same period in 2007, a 5.2% decrease.
Commenting on the second quarter, 2008, Robert D. Davis, President and Chief Executive Officer of VIST Financial Corp. stated, "VIST Financial has a strong history of profitability and our second quarter results are also reflective of a positive quarter, even as the economic and competitive environments continue to be a challenge for all financial institutions. The steps we have taken over the past few years to unify our company, to broaden our product offerings, to lessen our dependence on interest income and to operate more efficiently have positioned us well to weather these economic headwinds."
He added, "Our commercial loan growth, a key driver of our commercial- client strategy, remains strong. However, in the context of regional economic conditions and the quality of our loan portfolio at June 30, 2008, we felt it prudent to increase our allowance for loan loss. Absent the increase in our loan loss coverage, we are pleased with our quarterly performance."
Davis concluded, "Our balanced growth strategy continues to focus on organic growth in our banking, insurance and wealth management businesses. Concurrently, we are evaluating targeted acquisitions of fee based businesses with a near term focus in insurance and wealth management. We are busy on both fronts as we move through the balance of 2008."
Included in the operating results for the six and three months ended June 30, 2008 were pretax re-branding costs of approximately $595,000 associated with the Company's name change to VIST Financial Corp. and additional expense charged to the provision for loan losses (see provision for loan loss allowance discussion). Included in the operating results for the six and three months ended June 30, 2007 was a pretax loss of $2.5 million associated with a balance sheet restructuring targeting the sale of lower-yielding available for sale securities and the purchase of higher-yielding available for sale investment securities.
Net Interest Income
For the six months ended June 30, 2008, net interest income before the provision for loan losses increased 6.5% to $17,665,000 compared to $16,586,000 for the same period in 2007. The increase in net interest income for the six months resulted from a 1.7% decrease in total interest income to $33,135,000 from $33,697,000 and a 9.6% decrease in total interest expense to $15,470,000 from $17,111,000. For the three months ended June 30, 2008, net interest income before the provision for loan losses increased 7.1% to $9,060,000 compared to $8,456,000 for the same period in 2007. The increase in net interest income for the three months resulted from a 4.5% decrease in total interest income to $16,348,000 from $17,111,000 and a 15.8% decrease in total interest expense to $7,288,000 from $8,655,000.
The decrease in total interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 resulted primarily from lower interest rates compared to the same periods in 2007. Average earning assets for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008 increased $111,117,000 and $99,817,000, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2007 due primarily to strong growth in commercial loans and available for sale investment securities.
The decrease in total interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 resulted primarily from lower interest rates compared to the same periods in 2007. Average interest-bearing liabilities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 increased $107,923,000 and $96,474,000, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2007. The increases in interest-bearing liabilities are due primarily from an increase in average interest-bearing deposits for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 of $24,092,000 and $22,037,000, respectively, and from an increase in average short term borrowings, average securities sold under agreements to repurchase and average long term borrowings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 of $83,831,000 and $74,437,000 respectively.
The provision for loan losses for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $2,060,000 compared to $298,000 for the same period in 2007. The provision for loan losses for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was $1,650,000 compared to $148,000 for the same period in 2007. As of June 30, 2008, the allowance for loan losses was $7,862,000 compared to $7,264,000 as of December 31, 2007, an annualized increase of 16.5%. The increase in the provision is due primarily to 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 June 30, 2008, total non-performing loans were $9,798,000 or 1.1% of total loans compared to $6,557,000 or 0.8% of total loans at December 31, 2007. The $3,241,000 increase in non-performing loans was due primarily to two commercial real estate loans totaling approximately $2,295,000. Management has determined that the current allowance for loan losses is adequate as of June 30, 2008.
Net interest income after the provision for loan losses for the six and three months ended June 30, 2008 was $15,605,000 and $7,410,000, respectively, as compared to $16,288,000 and $8,308,000, respectively, for the same periods in 2007.
For the six months ended June 30, 2008, the net interest margin on a fully taxable equivalent basis was 3.55% as compared to 3.66% for the same period in 2007. For the three months ended June 30, 2008, the net interest margin on a fully taxable equivalent basis was 3.58% as compared to 3.70% for the same period in 2007. The decrease in net interest margin for the comparative six and three month periods ended June 30, 2008 was due mainly to lower yields on commercial loans fueled by decreases in short-term interest rates over the same periods in 2007 offset by strong organic commercial loan originations and a disciplined approach to deposit pricing.
Non-Interest Income
Total non-interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2008 increased 26.0% to $9,365,000 compared to $7,435,000 for the same period in 2007. Total non-interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2008 decreased 7.6% to $4,735,000 compared to $5,122,000 for the same period in 2007.
For the six months ended June 30, 2008, service charges on deposits decreased to $1,296,000 from $1,329,000, or 2.5%, for the same period in 2007. For the three months ended June 30, 2008, service charges on deposits decreased to $676,000 from $683,000, or 1.0%, for the same period in 2007. The decrease for the comparative six and three month periods is due primarily to a decrease in commercial account analysis fees and non-sufficient funds charges.
For the six months ended June 30, 2008, revenue from commissions and fees from insurance sales decreased 4.1% to $5,471,000 compared to $5,706,000 for the same period in 2007. For the three months ended June 30, 2008, revenue from commissions and fees from insurance sales decreased 6.5% to $2,787,000 compared to $2,981,000 for the same period in 2007. The decrease for the comparative six and three month periods is mainly attributed to decreased contingency income on insurance products offered through VIST Insurance, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
For the six months ended June 30, 2008, revenue from mortgage banking activity decreased to $665,000 from $1,092,000, or 39.1%, for the same period in 2007. For the three months ended June 30, 2008, revenue from mortgage banking activity decreased to $342,000 from $539,000, or 36.5%, for the same period in 2007. The decrease for the comparative six and three month periods is primarily due to a decline 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 six months ended June 30, 2008, revenue from brokerage and investment advisory commissions and fee activity increased to $464,000 from $462,000, or 0.4%, for the same period in 2007. For the three months ended June 30, 2008, revenue from brokerage and investment advisory commissions and fee activity decreased to $227,000 from $236,000, or 3.8%, for the same period in 2007. The decrease for the comparative three month period is due primarily to a decrease in investment advisory service activity offered through VIST Capital Management, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
For the six months ended June 30, 2008, earnings on investment in life insurance increased to $332,000 from $326,000, or 1.8%, for the same period in 2007. For the three months ended June 30, 2008, earnings on investment in life insurance increased to $164,000 from $159,000, or 3.1%, for the same period in 2007. The increase for the comparative six and three month periods is due primarily to increased earnings credited on the Company's bank owned life insurance ("BOLI").
Net securities gains were $202,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to net securities losses of $2,493,000 for the same period in 2007. Net securities gains were $61,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008. No securities gains or losses were recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2007. Net securities gains for the six months ended June 30, 2008 were primarily due to the mandatory redemption of VISA Inc. common stock acquired as a result of VISA's initial public offering. Net securities losses for the six months ended June 30, 2007 were primarily due to the sale of $64.1 million in lower-yielding available for sale securities as part of a balance sheet restructuring completed in the first quarter of 2007.
For the six months ended June 30, 2008, other income including gain on sale of loans decreased to $935,000 from $1,013,000, or 7.7%, for the same period in 2007. For the three months ended June 30, 2008, other income including gain on sale of loans decreased to $478,000 from $524,000, or 8.8%, for the same period in 2007. The decrease for the comparative six and three month periods is due primarily to a declining volume of SBA loans sold.
Non-Interest Expense

For the three months ended June 30, 2008, occupancy expense and furniture and equipment expense increased to $1,742,000 from $1,696,000, or 2.7%, for the same period in 2007. The increase for the comparative six and three month periods is due primarily to an increase in equipment depreciation expense and software maintenance expense.
For the six months ended June 30, 2008, professional services expense increased to $1,078,000 from $753,000, or 43.2%, for the same period in 2007.

The increase for the comparative six and three month periods is due primarily to an increase in legal fees associated with the Company's name change to VIST Financial Corp. and other general Company business.

For the six months ended June 30, 2008, advertising and marketing expense increased to $1,136,000 from $773,000, or 47.0%, for the same period in 2007. For the three months ended June 30, 2008, advertising and marketing expense increased to $479,000 from $466,000, or 2.8%, for the same period in 2007. The increase for the comparative six and three month periods is due primarily to re-branding costs associated with the Company's name change to VIST Financial Corp.
For the six months ended June 30, 2008, insurance expense increased to $545,000 from $316,000, or 72.5%, for the same period in 2007. For the three months ended June 30, 2008, insurance expense increased to $274,000 from $162,000, or 69.1%, for the same period in 2007. The increase in insurance expense for the comparative six and three month periods is due primarily to higher FDIC deposit insurance premiums resulting from the implementation of the new FDIC risk-related premium assessment.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $343,000, a 28.5% decrease as compared to income tax expense of $480,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007.

The effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was 10.0% and 23.2%, respectively. The decrease in the effective income tax rate for the comparative six and three month periods is due primarily to tax exempt income increasing as a result of an increase in municipal investments and tax free loans.
