GB&T Bancshares Reports Second Quarter Results


GAINESVILLE, Ga., July 19, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- GB&T Bancshares, Inc. (Nasdaq:GBTB), a multi-bank holding company with seven community banks in fast-growing markets surrounding metropolitan Atlanta, Georgia, reported net income for the second quarter of 2006 of $4.0 million, a 184.9 percent increase over the $1.4 million reported for the second quarter of 2005. Diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2006 were $0.28 compared with $0.11 for the prior-year period. Second quarter 2006 results reflect a continuation of strong loan and deposit growth, an expanding margin and improved efficiencies compared to the second quarter of 2005. Also contributing to the relatively large increase is the fact that the second quarter 2005 results included an isolated $2.9 million provision made to the Company's loan loss reserves due to the impairment of an inherited single loan relationship at an affiliate bank, as discussed in the Company's press release dated July 19, 2005.

For the first six months of 2006, the Company reported earnings of $7.2 million, or $0.53 per diluted share, compared with $4.4 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, for the first six months in 2005.

Commenting on the quarter, Richard A. Hunt, President and CEO of GB&T Bancshares, Inc., noted that he was very pleased. "We delivered strong results from a combination of sources: organic loans and deposits generated within our strong markets; the acquisition of our newest affiliate, Mountain State Bank, on April 28th; the strengthening of our net interest margin in a challenging rate environment, and improved efficiencies as we increase in asset size.

"Based on the first two months with our company, we anticipate that Mountain State Bank will make a meaningful contribution to 2006 earnings, and management is optimistic that it will exceed our twelve-month goal for earnings per share accretion. Mountain State Bank operates in one of the most vibrant and growing markets in the country: Forsyth and Dawson counties, and we expect its contribution should further improve GB&T's consolidated performance going forward."

Mr. Hunt continued, "The quality and consistency of our performance this quarter was tempered only by the spike in nonperforming assets we experienced, which is discussed in more detail below. We believe we are well-secured by property and personal guaranties for the overwhelming majority of nonperforming assets, and we do not see any significant exposures. We have already resolved $1.8 million of the total since quarter-end, and we expect to see further reductions shortly. Despite this diversion of corporate resources, earnings growth is on target for the year."

At a meeting held July 17, 2006, the board of directors of GB&T Bancshares declared a third quarter cash dividend of $0.09 per share on the Company's common stock. The dividend is payable on August 11, 2006 to shareholders of record at the close of business on July 28, 2006.

Total revenue, defined as net interest income plus other income, increased 17.0 percent year-over-year, from $17.0 million for the second quarter of 2005 to $19.9 million for the 2006 second quarter. Net interest income increased 22.6 percent from the second quarter of 2005 to $17.3 million, reflecting 17.5 percent growth in average earning assets and a 17 basis point improvement in the net interest margin, to 4.43 percent. For the first six months of 2006, total revenue was $37.8 million, up 16.3 percent from the comparable 2005 period. Net interest income grew 22.0 percent, to $32.8 million, from a combination of growth in average earning assets, up 18.8 percent, and 10 basis points of margin expansion, to 4.39 percent. Mr. Hunt added that pricing discipline was a significant element of GB&T's success with respect to its expanding net interest margin.

Other income for the second quarter of 2006 was $2.6 million compared with $2.9 million for the prior-year quarter, a decline of $295,000, or 10.2 percent. The majority of the decline resulted from the fourth quarter of 2005 sale of Community Loan Company, which had contributed $145,000 of insurance commissions in the year-ago quarter. The remaining declines were distributed across-the-board: service charges on deposit accounts, down $47,000 or 2.8 percent; mortgage origination fees, down $42,000 or 6.4 percent; and other operating income, down $65,000 or 14.4 percent.

Mr. Hunt commented, "We continue to leverage our excellent top-line performance with good expense controls; the impact is evident in our gradually improving efficiency ratio. So far this year, we've improved nearly 300 basis points compared to the first half of 2005. Even as we have acquired additional high-touch community banks with separate charters, local boards and management teams, we have been able to streamline their operations and workforce, such that revenue growth has consistently outpaced our expense base." For the second quarter of 2006, other expense was $12.6 million, an increase of 11.6 percent over the $11.3 million reported for the second quarter of 2005. Salaries and employee benefits expense, the largest component of other expense, increased 13.6 percent. The efficiency ratio improved to 62.03 percent for the second quarter of 2006 from 65.11 percent for the prior-year second quarter and 64.48 percent in the first quarter of 2006.

Nonperforming assets at June 30, 2006 were $18.4 million, or 1.00 percent of total assets, compared with $10.5 million or 0.64 percent at March 31, 2006, and $9.9 million or 0.65 percent at June 30, 2005. Annualized net charge-offs for the second quarter of 2006 were $607,000 or 0.18 percent of average loans compared with $276,000 or 0.09 percent of average loans for the first quarter of 2006, and $1.7 million or 0.61 percent for the second quarter of 2005. Loan loss reserves at June 30, 2006, were 1.09 percent of total loans compared with 1.08 percent at March 31, 2006 and 1.26 percent at June 30, 2005. According to Mr. Hunt, "We believe that the spike in nonperforming assets will be short-term and that the spike is not related to any changes in the strength of our markets. Still, we believe it is prudent to position ourselves more conservatively. Actions we began in the first quarter, including tightening of our lending policies and increased provisioning to reserves, have us well-positioned to address any decline in market conditions."

At June 30, 2006, GB&T Bancshares' had total assets of $1.8 billion, an increase of 19.4 percent over the past twelve months, from $1.5 billion at June 30, 2005. Excluding the $165.5 million of assets acquired with Mountain State Bank, organic asset growth was 8.6 percent. Total loans increased $268.4 million since June 30, 2005, or 23.3 percent, reaching $1.42 billion at June 30, 2006. Of this total, $107.5 million was due to the acquisition of Mountain State with organic loan growth contributing the remaining $160.9 million, or 14.0 percent. Mr. Hunt noted that the construction pipeline is strong, as are other real estate-related areas of the portfolio. Total deposits were $1.41 billion, an increase of $254.9 million or 22.0 percent from year-ago levels; excluding Mountain State Bank deposits of $124.0 million, organic deposit growth was 11.3 percent.

Stockholders' equity at June 30, 2006, was $228.5 million, a twelve-month increase of $27.2 million, or 13.5 percent. Stockholders' equity was 12.5 percent of period-end assets. The Company had 13,926,166 shares of common stock outstanding at June 30, 2006.
