FIRST INTERNET BANCORP ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER EARNINGS
INDIANAPOLIS, IN (August 6, 2007) - First Internet Bancorp (“Bancorp”) today announced net income of $846,662 for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, an increase of $64,570, or 8%, from the same quarter in the previous year. Year to date earnings of $1,534,906 exceed prior year levels by $230,062 or 18%.
The Bancorp’s net loan portfolio grew by $46.8 million, or 15%, as compared to the same quarter in the previous year, primarily due to the Landmark acquisition. "The contribution to the Bancorp’s results from the Landmark acquisition continues to meet and – in some ways, exceed – our pre-merger expectations," Becker noted. He went on to comment, "Despite some very real challenges in the local and national real estate mortgage markets, our loan production, secondary market loan sales and mortgage portfolio delinquency have remained at satisfactory levels."
Interest income increased by $532,494, or 22%, as compared to the same quarter in the previous year while non-interest income grew by $40,625, or 12%. Non-interest expense also increased for the period, largely offsetting the increases in income. “As we further integrate the Landmark operations into First Internet Bank, we will continue to work to improve efficiencies, which we expect, over time, will improve our return on assets and return on equity,” said David Becker.
As of June 30, 2007, First IB held $410.6 million in deposits, a 19% increase from deposits held as of June 30, 2006. From March 31, 2007 to June 30, 2007 the balance sheet has decreased by $24.0 million with approximately equal reductions in cash and deposits. Given the flat yield curve and challenging credit environment for both mortgages and consumer loans, management has reduced funding from wholesale sources, reduced borrowings and allowed some maturing time deposits to leave the Bank. Deposit growth is anticipated to resume as loan demand increases.
