ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following is management's discussion and analysis of the financial condition of First Busey Corporation and Subsidiaries ("Corporation") at June 30, 1997 (unaudited) when compared with December 31, 1996 and the results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 (unaudited) and the results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 (unaudited). This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Corporation's consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this quarterly report. FINANCIAL CONDITION AT JUNE 30, 1997 AS COMPARED TO DECEMBER 31, 1996 Total assets increased $27,906,000, or 3.2%, to $892,824,000 at June 30, 1997 from $864,918,000 at December 31, 1996. Securities held to maturity decreased $4,369,000, or 7.9%, to $50,738,000 at June 30, 1997 from $55,107,000 at December 31, 1996. Securities available for sale decreased $5,580,000, or 3.3%, to $165,663,000 at June 30, 1997 from $171,243,000 at December 31, 1996, as security maturities were used to help finance loan growth. Loans increased $21,603,000 or 3.8%, to $591,103,000 at June 30, 1997 from $569,500,000 at December 31, 1996, primarily due to increases in commercial and mortgage loans. Total deposits increased $26,492,000, or 3.5%, to $793,419,000 at June 30, 1997 from $766,927,000 at December 31, 1996. Non-interest bearing deposits increased 0.7% to $78,590,000 at June 30, 1997 from $78,077,000 at December 31, 1996. Interest bearing deposits increased 3.8% to $714,829,000 at June 30, 1997 from $688,850,000 at December 31, 1996. Short-term borrowings decreased $8,405,000, or 58.3%, to $6,000,000 at June 30, 1997, as compared to $14,405,000 at December 31, 1996. This was due primarily to a decrease in federal funds purchased. In the first six months of 1997, the Corporation repurchased 17,311 shares of its Class A stock at an aggregate cost of $402,000. The Corporation is purchasing shares for the treasury as they become available in order to meet future issuance requirements of previously granted non-qualified stock options. As of June 30, 1997, 2,250 of the 58,500 options which became exercisable on January 1, 1995 (and expire December 31, 1997) have not yet been exercised and 49,278 of the 133,441 options which became exercisable on January 1, 1997 (and expire December 31, 1999) have not yet been exercised. The Corporation's Board of Directors has extended the Stock Repurchase Plan to June 30, 1998. It is anticipated that the Corporation may from time to time continue to make purchases of its common stock in order to meet future issuance requirements. The following table sets forth the components of non-performing assets and past due loans. June 30, 1997 December 31, 1996 ----------------- ------------------ (Dollars in thousands) Non-accrual loans $0 $0 Loans 90 days past due, still accruing 1,781 1,002 Restructured loans 0 0 Other real estate owned 441 805 Non-performing other assets 1 1 ----------------- ------------------ Total non-performing assets $2,223 $1,808 ================= ================== Total non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets 0.25% 0.21% ================= ================== Total non-performing assets as a percentage of loans plus non-performing assets 0.38% 0.32% ================= ================== The ratio of non-performing assets to loans plus non-performing assets increased to 0.38% at June 30, 1997 from 0.32% at December 31, 1996. This was due to an increase in the balance of non-accrual loans, offset partially by a decrease in the balance of other real estate owned. The balance of loans outstanding increased during the period at a rate slower than the rate of growth in non- performing assets, thereby causing an increase in the percentage of non- performing assets.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 AS COMPARED TO JUNE 30, 1996 SUMMARY Net income for the six months ended June 30, 1997 increased 9.4% to $5,055,000 as compared to $4,619,000 for the comparable period in 1996. Earnings per share increased 7.5% to $.72 at June 30, 1997 as compared to $.67 for the same period in 1996. Operating earnings, which exclude security gains and the related tax expense, were $4,883,000, or $.70 per share for the six months ended June 30, 1997, as compared to $4,616,000, or $.67 per share for the same period in 1996. The Corporation's return on average assets was 1.18% for the six months ended June 30, 1997, as compared to 1.09% for the comparable period in 1996. The return on average assets from operations of 1.14% for the six months ended June 30, 1997 was 5 basis points higher than the 1.09% level achieved in the comparable period of 1996. Net interest margin, the Corporation's net interest income expressed as a percentage of average earning assets stated on a fully taxable equivalent basis, was 4.24% for the six months ended June 30, 1997, as compared to 4.07% for the same period in 1996. The net interest margin expressed as a percentage of average total assets, also on a fully taxable equivalent basis, was 3.88% for the six months ended June 30, 1997, compared to 3.74% for the same period in 1996. The increase in the net interest margin reflects the increase in interest income the Corporation experienced due to an increase in average earning assets and a larger net interest spread. During the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Corporation recognized security gains of approximately $172,000, after income taxes, representing 3.4% of net income. During the same period in 1996, security gains of $3,000, after income taxes, were recognized, representing 0.1% of net income. INTEREST INCOME Interest income, on a tax equivalent basis, for the six months ended June 30, 1997 increased 3.1% to $31,676,000 from $30,727,000 for the comparable period in 1996. The increase in interest income resulted from an increase in average earning assets of $9,660,000 for the period ended June 30, 1997, as compared to the same period of 1996, along with a 7 basis point increase in the average yield on interest earning assets to 8.04% in the current period when compared to the same period in 1996. The increase in yield resulted from the reinvestment of security proceeds into loans, while yields for all interest-earning assets declined in the current period, when compared to the same period in 1996. INTEREST EXPENSE Total interest expense increased 1.0% for the six months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to the prior year period. This increase resulted in large part from a 29 basis point increase in the average rate paid on transaction deposits and a 7 basis point increase in the average rate paid on time deposit balances for the six months ended June 30, 1997, as compared to the same period in 1996. PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES The provision for loan losses of $400,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 is $150,000 more than the provision for the comparable period in 1996. The provision and the net charge-offs of $14,000 for the period resulted in the reserve representing 1.10% of total loans and 366% of non-performing loans at June 30, 1997, as compared to the reserve representing 1.08% of total loans and 612% of non-performing loans at December 31, 1996. The adequacy of the reserve for loan losses is consistent with management's consideration of the composition of the portfolio, recent credit quality experience, and prevailing economic conditions. In recent years, the Corporation has grown its installment loan portfolio through bank-approved dealer paper, installment car loans originated by dealers
at the time of sale. It is possible that a weakening in the economic cycle could adversely affect the quality of these loans and resultant charge-offs may necessitate larger loan loss provisions. OTHER INCOME, OTHER EXPENSE AND INCOME TAXES Total other income, excluding security gains, increased 16.8% for the six months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to the same period in 1996. This was a combination of increases in trust revenue, commissions and brokers fees, and other service charges and fees, for the six months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to the same period in 1996. As of June 30, 1997, the asset management divisions of the Corporation had $887,293,000 in assets under care, an increase of 27.2% from $697,342,000 at June 30, 1997. Gains of $117,000 were recognized on the sale of $13,617,000 of pooled loans for the six months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to gains of $116,000 on the sale of $12,879,000 of pooled loans in the prior year period. Management anticipates continued sales from the current mortgage loan production of the Corporation if mortgage loan originations allow and the sales of the loans are necessary to maintain the asset/liability structure that the Corporation is trying to effect. The Corporation may realize gains and/or losses on these sales dependent upon interest rate movements and upon how receptive the debt markets are to mortgage backed securities. Total other expense increased 7.4% or $923,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to the same period in 1996. Salaries and wages expense increased $252,000 or 4.4% and employee benefits expense increased $176,000 or 15.7% for the six months ended June 30, 1997, as compared to the same period last year. The Corporation had 393 full time equivalent employees as of June 30, 1997 as compared to 387 as of June 30, 1996. Occupancy and furniture and equipment expenses increased 10.3% to $1,921,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 from $1,741,000 in the prior year period. Data processing expense increased $138,000 or 20.2% to $822,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 from the prior year period. There were no foreclosed property write-downs and expenses in the current period, while there was $75,000 of expense for the six months ended June 30, 1996. The Corporation's net overhead expense, total non-interest expense less non- interest income divided by average assets, increased to 2.02% for the six months ended June 30, 1997 from 1.95% in the prior year period as a result of the income and expense items described above. The Corporation's efficiency ratio is defined as operating expenses divided by net revenue. (More specifically it is defined as non interest expense expressed as a percentage of the sum of tax equivalent net interest income and non interest income, excluding security gains). The consolidated efficiency ratio for the six months ended June 30, 1997 was 62.6%, identical to the ratio achieved for the prior year period. When the gains on the sales of pooled loans are excluded, these ratios are each 62.9%. The static nature of the current year efficiency ratio is due to the income and expense items noted above. Income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 1997 increased to $2,131,000 as compared to $1,905,000 for the comparable period in 1996. As a percent of income before taxes, the provision for income taxes increased to 29.7% for the six months ended June 30, 1997 from 29.2% for the same period in 1996.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 AS COMPARED TO JUNE 30, 1996 SUMMARY Net income for the three months ended June 30, 1997 increased 9.0% to $2,647,000 as compared to $2,428,000 for the comparable period in 1996. Earnings per share increased 8.6% to $.38 at June 30, 1997 as compared to $.35 for the same period in 1996. Operating earnings, which exclude security gains and the related tax expense, were $2,540,000, or $.37 per share for the three months ended June 30, 1997, as compared to $2,426,000, or $.35 per share for the same period in 1995. The Corporation's return on average assets was 1.22% for the three months ended June 30, 1997, as compared to 1.15% achieved for the comparable period in 1996. The return on average assets from operations of 1.17% for the three months ended June 30, 1997 was more than the 1.14% level achieved in the comparable period of 1996. The net interest margin expressed as a percentage of average earning assets was 4.26% for the three months ended June 30, 1997, an increase of 9 basis points from the level achieved for the like period in 1996. The net interest margin expressed as a percentage of average total assets was 3.90% for the three months ended June 30, 1997, compared to 3.83% for the same period in 1996. During the three months ended June 30, 1997, the Corporation recognized security gains of approximately $108,000, after income taxes, representing 4.1% of net income. During the same period in 1996, security gains of approximately $2,000, after income taxes, were recognized, representing an insignificant portion of net income. INTEREST INCOME Interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis increased $668,000, or 4.3% for the three months ended June 30, 1997 from the same period in 1996. The increase resulted from a higher level of interest income on greater average volumes of loans, offset in part by lower levels of interest income on lower average balances of U.S. government obligations outstanding, for the three months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to the same period of 1996. The yield on interest earning assets increased 17 basis points for the three months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to the same period in 1996. INTEREST EXPENSE Total interest expense increased 4.5% for the three months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to the prior year period. This increase resulted in large part from a $10,428,000 increase in average time deposit balances and 41 basis point and 15 basis point increases in average rates on transaction deposits and time deposits, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 1997, as compared to the same period in 1996. OTHER INCOME, OTHER EXPENSE AND INCOME TAXES Total other income, excluding security transactions, increased 12.3% for the three months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to the same period in 1996. This was a combination of increased trust revenue, and other service charges and fees. Gains of $82,000 were recognized on the sale of $8,472,000 of pooled loans for the three months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to gains of $68,000 on the sale of $8,419,000 of pooled loans in the prior year period. Total other expense increased 5.3% or $334,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to the same period in 1996
Salaries and wages expense increased $99,000 or 3.4% and employee benefits expense increased $71,000 or 12.8% for the three months ended June 30, 1997, as compared to the same period last year. Occupancy and furniture and equipment expenses increased 5.4% to $926,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997 from $879,000 in the prior year period. Data processing expense increased $115,000 or 33.0% to $463,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997 from the prior year period. Foreclosed property write-downs and expenses decreased to nothing in the current period from $71,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997. The consolidated efficiency ratio for the three months ended June 30, 1997 was 61.5% as compared to 61.9% for the prior year period. When the gains on the sales of pooled loans are excluded, this ratio is 62.3% for each period. The change in the current year efficiency ratio is due to the income and expense items noted above. Income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 1997 increased to $1,131,000 as compared to $1,019,000 for the comparable period in 1996. As a percent of income before taxes, the provision for income taxes increased to 29.9% for the three months ended June 30, 1997 from 29.6% for the same period in 1996. LIQUIDITY Liquidity is the availability of funds to meet all present and future financial obligations arising in the daily operations of the business at a minimal cost. These financial obligations consist of needs for funds to meet extensions of credit, deposit withdrawals and debt servicing. The sources of short-term liquidity utilized by the Corporation consist of non- reinvested asset maturities, deposits and capital funds. Long-term liquidity needs will be satisfied primarily through retention of capital funds. The Corporation does not deal in or use brokered deposits as a source of liquidity. The Corporation purchases federal funds as a service to its respondent banks, but generally does not rely upon these purchases for liquidity needs. Additional liquidity is provided by bank lines of credit, repurchase agreements and the ability to borrow from the Federal Reserve Bank. The Corporation has an operating line with American National Bank and Trust Company of Chicago in the amount of $10,000,000 with $4,500,000 available as of June 30, 1997. The Corporation's dependence on large liabilities (defined as time deposits over $100,000 and short-term borrowings) increased to 11.9% at June 30, 1996 from 10.1% at December 31, 1996. This is the ratio of total large liabilities to total liabilities, and is low in comparison to the Corporation's peers. This change was due largely to a $25,197,000 increase in time deposits over $100,000 and a $6,400,000 decrease in federal funds purchased which resulted in a higher ratio of large liabilities to total liabilities. CAPITAL RESOURCES Other than from the issuance of common stock, the Corporation's primary source of capital is retained net income. During the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Corporation earned $5,055,000 and paid dividends of $2,316,000 to stockholders, resulting in a retention of current earnings of $2,739,000. The Corporation's dividend payout for the six months ended June 30, 1997 was 45.8%. The Corporation's risk-based capital ratio was 12.90% and the leverage ratio was 7.65% as of June 30, 1997, as compared to 12.48% and 7.14% respectively as of December 31, 1996. The Corporation and its bank subsidiary were well above all minimum required capital ratios as of June 30, 1997. RATE SENSITIVE ASSETS AND LIABILITIES Interest rate sensitivity is a measure of the volatility of the net interest margin as a consequence of changes in market rates. The rate-sensitivity chart shows the interval of time in which given volumes of rate-sensitive, earning assets and rate-sensitive, interest bearing liabilities would be responsive to changes in market interest rates based on their contractual maturities or terms for repricing. It is however, only a static, single-day depiction of the Corporation's rate sensitivity structure, which can be adjusted in response to changes in forecasted interest rates.
The following table sets forth the static rate-sensitivity analysis of the Corporation as of June 30, 1997. Rate Sensitive Within --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1-30 31-90 91-180 181 Days- Over Days Days Days 1 Year 1 Year Total --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Dollars in thousands) Federal funds sold $10,500 $0 $0 $0 $0 $10,500 Investment securities U.S. Governments 7,126 14,082 30,243 36,457 70,254 158,162 Obligations of states and political subdivisions 354 0 5,847 895 29,687 36,783 Other securities 2,167 58 584 519 18,128 21,456 Loans (net of unearned int.) 182,006 27,271 29,628 71,651 280,547 591,103 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total rate-sensitive assets $202,153 $41,411 $66,302 $109,522 $398,616 $818,004 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Interest bearing transaction deposits $142,600 $0 $0 $0 $0 $142,600 Savings deposits 78,175 0 0 0 0 78,175 Money market deposits 123,689 0 0 0 0 123,689 Time deposits 41,126 58,250 69,677 86,857 114,455 370,365 Short-term borrowings: Federal funds purchased & repurchase agreements 0 0 0 0 0 0 Other 6,000 0 0 0 0 6,000 Long-term debt 0 0 0 0 10,000 10,000 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total rate-sensitive liabilities $391,590 $58,250 $69,677 $86,857 $124,455 $730,829 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rate-sensitive assets less rate-sensitive liabilities ($189,437) ($16,839) ($3,375) $22,665 $274,161 $87,175 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cumulative gap ($189,437) ($206,276) ($209,651) ($186,986) $87,175 ================================================================================= Cumulative gap as a percentage of total rate-sensitive assets -23.16% -25.22% -25.63% -22.86% 10.66% ================================================================================= Cumulative ratio (cumulative RSA/RSL) 0.52X 0.54X 0.60X 0.69X 1.12X 1.12X ================================================================================= The foregoing table shows a negative (liability sensitive) rate-sensitivity gap of $189.4 million in the 1-30 day repricing category. The gap beyond 30 days, through 180 days, becomes slightly more liability sensitive as rate-sensitive assets that reprice in those time periods are slightly less in volume than rate- sensitive liabilities that are subject to repricing in the same respective time periods. The gap beyond 180 days becomes less liability sensitive as rate- sensitive assets that reprice after 180 days become greater in volume than rate- sensitive liabilities that are subject to repricing in the same respective time periods. The composition of the gap structure at June 30, 1997, will benefit the Corporation more if interest rates fall during the next 180 days by allowing the net interest margin to grow as liability rates would reprice more quickly than rates on interest rate-sensitive assets. After 180 days, a rate increase would benefit the Corporation because the volume of rate-sensitive assets repricing would exceed the volume of rate-sensitive liabilities that would be repricing.
