INDIANA COMMUNITY BANCORP 
By COLUMBUS, Ind., Oct. 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Indiana Community Bancorp (the "Company") (Nasdaq: INCB), the holding company of Indiana Bank and Trust Company of Columbus, Indiana (the "Bank"), today announced a net loss for the third quarter of $2.1 million or $(0.71) diluted loss per common share compared to net income of $1.8 million or $0.54 diluted earnings per common share for the third quarter of 2008. Year-to-date net loss was $4.5 million or $(1.60) diluted loss per common share compared to net income of $3.5 million or $1.04 diluted earnings per common share a year earlier. The third quarter was negatively impacted by a non-cash expense related to the write off of the Company's total goodwill of $1.4 million. Excluding the impact of the goodwill write off, the Company's net loss would have been reduced to $684,000 or $(0.20) diluted loss per common share for the quarter. The Company continued to increase the balance in the allowance for loan losses in light of the challenging economic cycle by recording a provision for loan losses of $3.9 million for the third quarter which exceeded net charge offs for the quarter by $2.0 million. Retail deposit growth remained strong for 2009 as retail deposits increased $58.1 million for the third quarter and $129.6 million for the year. As of September 30, 2009, shareholders' equity was $87.8 million and the Company's tangible common equity to assets ratio was 6.34%. Chairman and CEO John Keach, Jr. stated, "The tremendous increase in core deposits adds significantly to our core franchise. These new deposit relationships position our Company for future growth as the credit cycle and economy improve." Executive Vice President and CFO Mark Gorski added, "Appropriate increases to the allowance for loan losses helps to strengthen our Company and are prudent based on the current credit environment. We anticipate that we may need to continue to increase the allowance for loan losses into 2010."
Balance Sheet
Total assets were $1.1 billion as of September 30, 2009, an increase of $83.6 million from December 31, 2008. Total loans decreased $14.4 million for the quarter and $40.3 million year-to-date. Commercial and commercial mortgage loans decreased $3.4 million for the quarter and $11.5 million year-to-date. The commercial loan portfolio has continued to decline due to the challenging credit market which has contributed to the decrease in new commercial loan originations. Residential mortgage and consumer loans decreased $11.0 million for the quarter and $29.0 million year-to-date. Residential mortgage loan origination volume has slowed compared to the previous two quarters as the refinance activity slows. Mortgage loan originations remain substantially higher than the prior year due to significant refinance activity resulting from low interest rates. As substantially all new mortgage loans are being sold in the secondary market, residential mortgage balances continue to decline. Decreases in the mortgage loan portfolio account for $8.4 million of the decrease in consumer loans for the quarter and $19.8 million of the decrease year-to-date.
Total retail deposits increased $58.1 million for the quarter and $129.6 million or 18.7% year-to-date. This substantial growth in retail deposits occurred in all categories as demand deposits increased $3.0 million, interest bearing transaction accounts increased $98.2 million and certificates of deposit increased $28.4 million. The Bank has seen deposit growth from individual accounts, business accounts and public entity accounts across the entire market footprint. Management believes that deposit growth reflects customer preference for insured bank deposits which provide safety of principal balance plus interest. Additionally, management believes deposit growth during the third quarter was greater than previous quarters due in part to the continued negative press and ultimate failure of the Company's largest competitor in its headquarter market of Columbus, Indiana.
Total wholesale funding decreased $4.5 million for the quarter and $39.9 million year-to-date. The increase in retail deposits provided a source for the repayment of wholesale funding sources during the year.
Asset Quality
Provision for loan losses totaled $3.9 million for the quarter and $12.8 million year-to-date which represented significant increases over the comparable periods in 2008. The provision expense for the year has covered net charge offs and significantly increased the allowance for loan losses. Net charge offs were $1.9 million for the third quarter and included $1.2 million of commercial loan charge offs and $684,000 of consumer loan charge offs. Year-to-date net charge offs totaled $9.2 million and included $7.7 million of commercial loan charge offs and $1.5 million of consumer loan charge offs. Non-performing assets to total assets increased to 3.12% at September 30, 2009 compared to 2.86% at December 31, 2008. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans was increased to 1.60% at September 30, 2009 compared to 1.07% at December 31, 2008.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income decreased $659,000 or 8.8% to $6.8 million for the third quarter and year-to-date net interest income decreased $1.1 million or 5.1% to $20.4 million. Net interest margin for the third quarter was 2.88% which was equal to the second quarter. Year-to-date net interest margin was 2.96% for 2009 compared to 3.38% for 2008. The decrease in net interest margin for the year was primarily the result of an unusually high balance in interest earning demand deposits and an increase in non-accrual loans. Due to continued increases in deposits and reduced loan demand, the excess liquidity has been invested in short term securities throughout the quarter. Total investment securities increased $47.2 million for the quarter and $82.8 million year-to-date. Based on current interest rates, the short term securities have interest rates below 2%. While this is negatively impacting the net interest margin currently, the cash flows from these securities will be readily available to reinvest into loans or to pay down higher cost wholesale funding when it matures. Management anticipates the net interest margin to increase slowly due to an expected decrease in deposit costs resulting from reductions in the pricing of money market accounts and certificates of deposit.
Non Interest Income
Non interest income decreased $1.1 million for the third quarter and $1.2 million year-to-date. Gain on sale of mortgage loans continues to exceed prior year levels due to increased origination volumes however the quarterly gap continues to narrow. For the quarter, gain on sale of mortgage loans was up $105,000 while the year-to-date total has increased $1.0 million. The Bank discontinued offering brokerage services in September 2008. Brokerage fee income totaled $419,000 in the third quarter of 2008 and $1.4 million year-to-date in 2008. Service fees on deposits have run consistently below prior year levels due primarily to a reduction in overdraft fees. Service fees on deposits were down $223,000 or 11.8% for the quarter and down $329,000 or 6.5% year-to-date. During the third quarter, miscellaneous income included a writedown on other real estate of $468,000 related to a former subdivision loan. Due to further declines in value and lack of sales activity, the carrying value was reduced an additional 20%.
Non Interest Expenses
Non interest expenses increased $923,000 to $8.0 million for the third quarter and $452,000 to $22.7 million year-to-date. However, included in expenses for the third quarter was a non-cash expense related to the write off of $1.4 million of goodwill. Excluding the goodwill write off, expenses decreased $471,000 or 6.7% for the third quarter and $942,000 or 4.2% year-to-date. Compensation and employee benefits expense decreased $458,000 or 11.6% for the third quarter and $1.8 million or 14.4% year-to-date. Four primary factors contributed to the decrease in compensation and benefits: 1) the Company froze its defined benefit pension plan effective April 1, 2008 resulting in an expense reduction of $450,000 for the year, 2) the Company reduced its workforce by approximately 10% in the third quarter of 2008 resulting in an expense reduction of approximately $600,000 for the year, 3) the Company discontinued offering brokerage services effective September 2008 resulting in an expense reduction of $809,000 for the year and 4) bonus and vacation related benefits have decreased resulting in an expense reduction of $375,000 for the year. These decreases to compensation and employee benefits were partially offset by an increase in mortgage commissions of $503,000 as a result of increased mortgage volumes discussed above. FDIC insurance increased $287,000 for the third quarter and $1.3 million year-to-date. The year-to-date increase includes a special assessment of $475,000 with was recorded in the second quarter. Marketing expense increased $11,000 for the third quarter and decreased $476,000 year-to-date due to the timing of advertising associated with the name change which occurred in the first and second quarters of 2008. The Company anticipates total marketing cost for 2009 to be approximately 20% less than the average marketing expense over the previous 2 years.
