Harleysville National Corp. Ends 2003 With Record Earnings HARLEYSVILLE, Pa., Jan. 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Harleysville National Corporation (HNC) , today announced record fourth quarter 2003 earnings of $8,972,000, a 7.8% increase over fourth quarter 2002 earnings of $8,323,000. Net income for the year ending December 31, 2003, was $35,333,000, a 7.3% increase over the $32,927,000 for the comparable period in 2002. This increase resulted in 28 consecutive years of record earnings for HNC. For the quarter ending December 31, 2003, diluted earnings per share of $.37 were 8.8% higher than the $.34 earned during the fourth quarter of 2002, and basic earnings per share at $.37 were up 5.7% from $.35 in the fourth quarter of 2002. For the year ending December 31, 2003, diluted earnings per share of $1.44 were up 7.5% from the $1.34 in the comparable period last year. Basic earnings per share of $1.48 for the year ending December 31, 2003, were 7.2% higher than the $1.38 in 2002. "We have once again maintained strong returns and improved loan quality," said Walter E. Daller, Jr., Chairman, President and CEO of HNC. "2003 was a challenging year and we are pleased that HNC managed to maintain its long- running record of increased earnings," he added. Net interest income in the fourth quarter of 2003 increased $1,611,000 or 8.4% over the same period in 2002. This rise in net interest income was due to an increase in earning asset volumes and a rise in the net interest margin. The fourth quarter 2003 net interest margin of 3.82% surpassed the 3.64% net interest margin recorded in the same period in 2002. The higher net interest margin was the result of a reduction in funding rates and an increase in loan volumes. The fourth quarter of 2003 net interest margin was also higher than the third quarter of 2003 net interest margin of 3.71%. "During the last few months, we have seen signs that the economy is strengthening. We have achieved good returns during the recent economic downturn, and feel we are well positioned as the economy improves," said Daller. "During the second half of 2003, the annualized growth in loans was 10.8% and we are encouraged by an improvement in the net interest margin during the fourth quarter," he added. The loan balance at December 31, 2003 of $1,408,391,000 increased 5.6% from the December 31, 2002 balance of $1,333,292,000. The growth in loans during 2003 was impacted by planned declines in both the indirect vehicle loan and vehicle leasing portfolios. Net of these two portfolios, total loans grew 12.2%, led by increases in commercial related and home equity loans. HNC continued to experience improvement in its asset quality during 2003. Nonperforming assets, including nonaccrual loans, net assets in foreclosure and loans 90 days or more past due was .22% of total assets at December 31, 2003, compared to .27% at December 31, 2002. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans was 371.7% at December 31, 2003, compared to 272.8% at December 31, 2002, and 326.5% at September 30, 2003. During 2003, HNC continued its efforts to grow funding through core deposits. While total deposits remained relatively flat, lower rate core deposits grew $95,648,000, or 7.9% and higher rate certificates of deposits were reduced by $96,389,000, or 12.5%. Other operating income of $5,216,000 earned in the fourth quarter of 2003 was $224,000 less than the fourth quarter of 2002 as a result of lower security gains, residential mortgage sale gains and bank-owned life insurance income. Offsetting these decreases were increases in deposit service charges and higher trust and investment services income. The higher deposit service charges were primarily related to higher overdraft fees and the increase in trust and investment services income resulted from higher retail investment fees. The fourth quarter 2003 other operating expenses of $13,891,000 increased $288,000, or 2.1% from the fourth quarter of 2002. Salaries increased $336,000, or 4.7% and furniture and equipment expenses grew $137,000, or 9.1%. A $182,000 reduction in other expenses was the result of a decrease in the off-lease vehicle residual reserve expense, partially offset by increases in deferred compensation expenses and legal fees. Occupancy expense decreased $3,000, or 0.3%.
