EVANSVILLE, Ind., Jan. 26, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Old National Bancorp (NYSE:ONB) today reported fourth-quarter earnings of $6.6 million, or $.10 per share. As was previously disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 13, 2009, the fourth quarter of 2008 included a higher than anticipated provision for loan losses of $17.0 million and the write-off of a check fraud loss in the amount of $6.3 million. These fourth-quarter results compare to third-quarter of 2008 earnings of $17.0 million, or $.26 per share, and $22.0 million, or $.34 per share, earned in the fourth quarter of 2007.

Net income for the twelve-months ended December 31, 2008, was $62.5 million, or $.95 per share. This compares to full-year 2007 net income of $74.9 million, or $1.14 per share.

President and CEO Bob Jones commented, "We were very pleased with the operating fundamentals of the Company this quarter. Growth in our revenue, commercial loans, net interest margin and demand deposits is a result of the discipline to adhere to our strategic imperatives. However, consistent with what has been our cautious view of the economy for some time, we were not immune from the impact of the economy on our borrowers, which led to a substantial increase in our credit costs for the fourth quarter."

Strategic Imperatives

Old National continues to be guided by three strategic imperatives that are critical in establishing the Company's presence as a high-performing financial institution:



 1. Strengthen the risk profile. 
 2. Enhance management discipline. 
 3. Achieve consistent quality earnings.

Strengthen the Risk Profile

 ---------------------------------------------------------------------

At December 31, 2008, the reserve for loan losses was $67.1 million, an increase of $3.6 million from the $63.5 million at September 30, 2008. Importantly, the ratio of allowance to non-performing loans increased for Old National to 105% at December 31, 2008, from 93% at September 30, 2008.

Chief Credit Officer Daryl Moore noted, "While we were very pleased to report that non-performing loans fell in the quarter, migration of loans into the Problem and Special Mention categories was significant in the period, not inconsistent with the deepening economic difficulties currently being experienced not only throughout our region, but nationally. Until we see marked improvement in general economic conditions, we would expect to see continuing challenges for our borrowing clients."

Enhance Management Discipline

Capital Management

Old National's strong capital position was further enhanced during the fourth quarter of 2008 by the Company's participation in the U.S. Treasury Department Capital Purchase Program for healthy financial institutions. Under the program, Old National sold preferred, non-voting shares of its stock valued at $100 million to the U.S. Treasury Department. At December 31, 2008, Old National reported total risk-based capital ratio at 15.44%, tier 1 risk-based capital ratio at 13.11% and the leverage ratio at 9.75%. All three capital ratios are well above the FDIC guidelines for "well capitalized" institutions. In addition, tangible common equity as a percentage of tangible assets was 6.51% at the end of 2008, well within the Company's targeted range to 6% to 7%. Refer to Table 1 for Non-GAAP reconciliation of the tangible capital ratios.

"Old National's participation in the U.S. Treasury Department's Capital Purchase Program was an extremely cost-effective way to enhance our already strong capital position, which ultimately benefits our clients, shareholders and communities," stated Chris Wolking, Chief Financial Officer. "We believe improving our capital position in this manner is prudent given the economy is likely to face greater challenges in 2009."

Old National repurchased no shares of common stock through the open market in 2008.

Expense Management

Old National reported total noninterest expenses for the fourth quarter of 2008 of $79.0 million compared to $72.5 million and $71.0 million reported for the third quarter of 2008 and the fourth quarter of 2007, respectively. Without the $6.3 million check fraud related charge previously disclosed, fourth-quarter 2008 noninterest expenses would have been $72.7 million.

On a year-to-date basis, total noninterest expenses for 2008 were $297.2 million compared to $278.0 million in 2007. The majority of the increase from 2007 related to a $13.2 million increase in occupancy expense incurred from Old National's sale leaseback transaction as well as the check fraud charge reported in the Other Expense category.

Achieve Consistent Quality Earnings

Balance Sheet & Margin

Total loans for Old National at December 31, 2008, were $4.778 billion, an increase of $84.6 million from the $4.693 billion at September 30, 2008. Commercial loans and leases constituted the majority of the increase, with growth of $98.2 million. The commercial real estate loan portfolio, which the Company has continued to manage down over the last two years, declined $15.9 million during the fourth quarter. For the full-year 2008, commercial loans increased $203.2 million, or 12.0%, while commercial real estate loans declined $115.5 million, or 9.1%.

At December 31, 2008, total investments were $2.296 billion, up $197.9 million from the $2.098 billion at September 30, 2008. As a percentage of total assets, the investment portfolio increased to 29.2% from 27.7% at the end of the third quarter.

Total deposits, including demand and interest-bearing deposits, increased $76.1 million during the fourth quarter and ended the year at $5.422 billion. Importantly, the increase was primarily in the most desirable deposit categories, as noninterest-bearing demand deposits increased $42.9 million, or 5.1%, while NOW accounts increased $69.6 million, or 5.7%.

Total borrowed funds at December 31, 2008, were $1.485 billion, a $105.5 million increase from the $1.379 billion at September 30, 2008.

During the fourth quarter of 2008, net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis was $68.0 million and represented a net interest margin on total average earning assets of 3.96%. This compares to net interest income of $64.5 million and a margin of 3.79% for the third quarter of 2008 and net interest income of $62.2 million and a margin of 3.56% for the fourth quarter of 2007. For the full-year 2008, net interest income amounted to $262.7 million and represented a margin of 3.82%, noticeable increases over the 2007 net interest income amount of $236.4 million and margin of 3.28%

"We are very pleased with our net interest income and margin performance during 2008," stated Chris Wolking, Chief Financial Officer. "Our disciplined deposit pricing philosophy, combined with the Federal Reserve rate reductions, resulted in the 54 bps improvement in our net interest margin during the year as well as an 11.1% growth in our net interest income."

Fees, Service Charges and Other Revenue

Fees, service charges and other revenue for the fourth quarter of 2008 were $36.6 million. This compares to $39.1 million for the third quarter of 2008 and $43.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2007. The category showing the largest decrease from the third quarter of 2008 was Company-owned life insurance while the largest variance from the fourth quarter of 2007 was in other income and related to the one-time gain recorded in 2007 on the Company's sale leaseback transactions.

Charter One Update

As announced on November 25, 2008, Old National entered into an agreement with Citizens Financial Group to acquire 65 locations of Charter One. These locations are primarily in the key market of Indianapolis, but also include locations in other key growth markets of Lafayette, Fort Wayne, Bloomington and Anderson, Indiana. The Company has formed 15 task force teams aimed at a conversion date of late March 2009. "As pleased as we were with the strong strategic alignment of the Indiana Charter One franchise with Old National's, as we began the integration process, the true strength of the partnership has become the quality of the associates at Charter One," said Barbara Murphy, Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Banking Officer. "The associates at Charter One share the same passion that we do in serving their clients and we are very pleased with how the integration process has moved along."
