NBT announces quarterly earnings of $12.1M
NORWICH – NBT Bancorp Inc. reported today that net income for the six months ending June 30, was $26.2 million, down 5.6 percent or $1.6 million from net income of $27.8 million reported for the same period in 2006.
NBT’s return on average assets and return on average equity were 1.04 percent and 12.98 percent, respectively, compared with 1.17 percent and 14.93 percent for the same period in 2006.
Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2007, was $12.1 million, down $2.1 million from net income of $14.2 million reported for the same period in 2006.
The decrease in net income for the six months was primarily the result of an $8.4 million increase in provision for loan and lease losses compared to the same period last year. This increase in expense was partially offset by a $2.9 million increase in non-interest income and a $3.3 million decrease in non-interest expense.
NBT President and CEO Martin A. Dietrich said, “The increase in non-performing loans is generally limited to the areas already mentioned above and we believe we have recognized these issues in a timely and prudent manner. Despite the increased level of non-performing loans, I remain pleased with our financial performance this year given the challenging environment in which we operate. A sharp focus on our cost structure, as well as steady growth in certain fee income categories has improved our efficiency ratio. In addition, our margin, which had compressed for several quarters, held steady in the second quarter compared to the first.”
Total assets were $5.1 billion at June 30, 2007, up $125.7 million from $5.0 billion at June 30, 2006. Loans and leases were at $3.4 billion at June 30, 2007, up $84.4 million from $3.3 billion at June 30, 2006, and up $19.6 million from $3.4 billion at December 31, 2006. These increases were due primarily to an increase in consumer loans.
Total deposits were $4.0 billion at June 30, 2007, up $211.3 million from $3.7 billion at June 30, 2006, and up $162.9 million from $3.8 billion at December 31, 2006. These increases were due primarily to growth in time deposits, money market accounts and savings accounts.
Stockholders’ equity was $390.9 million, representing total equity to total assets of 7.63 percent at June 30, 2007, compared with $377.6 million or total equity to total asset ratio of 7.56 percent at June 30, 2006, and $403.8 million or total equity to total asset ratio of 7.94 percent at December 31, 2006.
