FIRST OAK BROOK BANCSHARES, INC., (NASDAQ:FOBB): 2006 First Quarter
Earnings (Unaudited) FIRST OAK BROOK BANCSHARES, INC.,
(NASDAQ:FOBB) announced net income for the first quarter of 2006 of
$3.422 million, down from $4.28 million for the first quarter of
2005. Diluted earnings per share were $0.34 for the first quarter
of 2006 compared to $0.43 for the first quarter of 2005, down 21%.
Earnings for the first quarter of 2006 included an income
adjustment totaling $1,034,000 ($672,000 after tax) related to the
conversion of merchant credit card processing fees ($768,000) and
trust fees ($266,000) from the cash basis to the accrual basis of
accounting. Both of these items had historically been recorded on a
one-month lag, and as a result of the income adjustment four months
of income for these items is included in the first quarter of 2006
as compared to three months in the first quarter of 2005. Excluding
this income adjustment, diluted earnings per share (EPS) were $.28
per share for the first quarter of 2006. Net interest income was
$11.464 million for the first quarter of 2006 compared to $12.815
million for the first quarter of 2005. The decrease in net interest
income resulted from a 53 basis point decrease in the net interest
margin to 2.17%, partially offset by an 11% increase in average
earning assets. The growth in average earning assets included an
increase in average loans of $245.2 million partially offset by a
decrease in average investments of $55.8 million. The decline in
the margin was primarily the consequence of interest rates rising
faster on deposits than on loans and investments. The Federal
Reserve's monetary policy where the Fed has been gradually
increasing short-term interest rates, the flattening of the "yield
curve" where shorter-term interest rates have caught up with
longer-term interest rates, and stiff competition among banks in
the highly competitive Chicago market were major factors driving
this margin compression. The Company recorded a provision for loan
losses of $180,000 in the first quarter of 2006. No provision was
recorded in the first quarter of 2005. Other income, excluding
securities gains and losses, increased 31% primarily as a result of
the following: -- Merchant credit card processing fees - up
$1,258,000, which includes the income adjustment of $768,000.
Without the income adjustment, merchant fees would have increased
$490,000, or 30%. The increase is primarily due to increased volume
and new customer growth. Merchant volume rose 24% to $99.3 million
at March 31, 2006 from $80.2 million at March 31, 2005. Merchant
outlets totaled 649 at March 31, 2006 as compared to 595 at March
31, 2005. (Related merchant credit card interchange expense was up
$359,000, or 26%, as noted below.) -- Investment management and
trust fees - up $370,000, which includes the income adjustment of
$266,000. Without the income adjustment, investment management and
trust fees would have increased $104,000, or 14%. The increase is
due to increases in discretionary assets under management which
rose to $874.7 million, up from $760.4 million at March 31, 2005.
Total trust assets under administration rose to $1.111 billion, up
from $951.5 million at March 31, 2005. -- Gain on mortgages sold -
up $60,000, primarily due to increased mortgage originations
arising from the "Guaranteed Best Rate" program. Mortgages
originated, including mortgages sold and mortgages held in the
portfolio, rose 12% to $20.8 million at March 31, 2006 from $18.6
million at March 31, 2005. At March 31, 2006 the pipeline was
greater than $14 million. -- Income from sale of covered call
options - down $182,000, or 73%, to $66,000 in 2006 compared to
$248,000 in 2005. -- Treasury management fees - down $206,000,
primarily due to higher earnings credit rates (ECRs) being paid on
commercial checking account balances. Treasury management clients
retain the option to pay for Bank services in cash fees or by
maintaining deposits in their checking accounts, or a combination
of both. As rates rise, so do the ECRs we offer clients on their
checking balances, and the less clients have to make up in cash
fees. Total treasury management fees are up $48,000 for the
comparable period. Other expenses rose 9% for 2006 primarily as a
result of the following: -- Merchant credit card interchange
expense - up $359,000, or 26%, primarily due to increased volume.
-- Salaries and employee benefits - up $231,000, primarily due to
higher compensation costs and an increase in average full-time
equivalents (FTE). -- Occupancy and equipment - up $252,000,
primarily due to branch expansion. The Bank opened four branches in
2005 (one in March and three in October), bringing its total to 21.
Chief Executive Officer's Comments Richard M. Rieser, Jr., Company
CEO said, "As anticipated, earnings for the first quarter of 2006
are down from 2005 due to the margin pressure that is expected to
continue through most of 2006. "As published in our recent Annual
Report, we are less than satisfied with our loan to deposit ratio
which lags peers and our loan mix which is underweighted in
commercial loans. Our plan is to improve these metrics. Therefore,
we are heartened by the first quarter trend - with our loans up $66
million over year-end, an annualized rate of 20%. We are especially
pleased that most of this loan growth was in the commercial
segments. Our loan to deposit ratio improved from 70% to 72%.
Looking forward, we expect to continue to shrink our investment
portfolio and use cash flows from investments, deposits and
borrowings to fund our strong loan pipeline. "Also, in the first
quarter of 2006 we continued to build our fee income stream.
Investment management and trust fees (excluding income adjustment)
climbed 14% to $838,000. Merchant credit card fees (excluding
income adjustment) rose 30% to $2,141,000. And gains on mortgages
sold increased 68% to $148,000. "Our two new branches on the
affluent North Shore in Glencoe and Northbrook -- branded Chicago
Private Bank (CPB) -- have been so well-received (combined deposits
of $86.7 million after six months) we've decided to expand the
brand to our Glenview office on the North Shore and to our Chicago
office at Dearborn and Huron Streets during the second quarter of
2006. All three of our North Shore offices will operate as
full-service Chicago Private Banks - with concierge services and
other Chicago Private Bank amenities. The decision to rebrand our
Huron office as Chicago Private Bank resulted from the successful
introduction of a senior private banker at that location in the
first quarter, coupled with the consonance of using the 'Chicago
Private Bank' name in downtown Chicago." Assets and Equity at March
31, 2006 (Unaudited) Total assets were a record $2.326 billion at
March 31, 2006, up 4% from $2.229 billion at December 31, 2005 and
up 13% from $2.058 billion at March 31, 2005. Shareholders' equity
was $132.5 million at March 31, 2006 compared to $134.6 million at
December 31, 2005 and $128.0 million at March 31, 2005. Book value
per share stood at $13.43 at March 31, 2006. Equity includes an
accumulated other comprehensive loss of $11.079 million at March
31, 2006 related to the Company's investment portfolio compared to
$7.607 million of other comprehensive loss at December 31, 2005.
Other comprehensive income or loss rises or falls with increases or
decreases in the market value of that portion of the investment
portfolio which is classified as available-for-sale. Oak Brook
Bank's capital ratios met the "well capitalized" criteria of the
FDIC. "Well capitalized" status reduces regulatory burdens and
lessens FDIC insurance assessments. Asset Quality (Unaudited) Net
charge-offs at March 31, 2006 totaled $144,000 compared to net
recoveries of $3,000 at March 31, 2005. In 2006, charge-offs of
$259,000 and recoveries of $115,000 relate primarily to the
Company's indirect vehicle portfolio. In 2005, charge-offs of
$123,000 related primarily to the Company's indirect vehicle
portfolio. Recoveries totaled $126,000, of which $80,000 related to
the Company's indirect vehicle portfolio and $32,000 was
restitution from the 60 W. Erie loan fraud. As of March 31, 2006,
the Company's allowance for loan losses stood at $8.85 million, or
.64% of loans outstanding, compared to $8.81 million, or .67% of
loans outstanding, at December 31, 2005. At March 31, 2006,
nonperforming loans (including nonaccrual loans of $147,000 and
loans past due greater than 90 days of $177,000) were $324,000,
compared to $797,000 at December 31, 2005. At March 31, 2006,
nonperforming assets totaled $529,000, down from $900,000 at
December 31, 2005. Nonperforming assets include nonperforming loans
of $324,000 and repossessed vehicles held for sale of $205,000.
There was no balance in OREO at March 31, 2006 due to the completed
sales of all 24 units and 53 parking spaces at the 60 W. Erie
condominium project. The Company is maintaining a warranty reserve
to pay for any known or anticipated obligations. The Bank remains
the plaintiff in a number of civil lawsuits brought against various
individuals and entities which arose as a result of the fraud
perpetrated by original developers of this property. The amount and
timing of any recoveries from the government mandated restitution
or the civil lawsuits cannot be ascertained at this time. Expanding
Branch Network (Unaudited) Oak Brook Bank currently operates 21
banking offices, 17 in the western suburbs of Chicago, three in the
northern suburbs of Chicago, and one at Huron and Dearborn Streets
in downtown Chicago, in addition to an Internet branch at
www.obb.com. The Bank has announced the planned opening of two
additional offices in Homer Glen in the southwest suburbs
(currently under construction and expected to open in mid 2006) and
Oak Lawn (expected to open in late 2006)in the south suburbs of
Chicago. The Bank continues to evaluate branch expansion
opportunities in the greater Chicago area. Although the opening of
new offices increases operating expenses until breakeven is
reached, management believes judicious branch expansion is a key to
the Company's longer-term profitable growth prospects. Shareholder
