STATE COLLEGE, Pa., April 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- First quarter earnings for Omega Financial Corporation (NASDAQ:OMEF) were up 4.5% over the same period last year, company officials announced.

The company reported net income of $5.583 million for the first three months of 2007, compared to $5.343 million, an increase of $240,000, said Donita R. Koval, OFC's president and chief executive officer. Koval noted that the strong results, driven by continued cost control across the organization, came in spite of an increase in the loan loss provision of $490,000 compared to the first quarter of 2006.
The increase in the provision is due primarily to changes in the risk profile of one large commercial customer that filed for bankruptcy protection in 2006. Omega increased the amount of allowance for loan losses allocated to this borrower by $904,000 in the first quarter to a total of $6.2 million as of March 31, 2007 from $5.3 million at December 31, 2006. Omega has estimated and provided for known exposures related to this credit; however, evaluations of the credit continue based on changes in the bankruptcy proceedings. The total impact on earnings in the first quarter of 2007 for this credit, including the added provisions of $904,000, lost interest of $284,000, and other related expenses, was $775,000 after tax, which negatively affected earnings by 12% or $0.06 per diluted share.
On a per share basis, diluted earnings were up 4.8%, rising to $0.44 from $0.42. Per share earnings were also 25.7% higher than those recorded for the fourth quarter of 2006. Common share dividends declared were unchanged from the fourth quarter of 2006 at $0.31.
Net interest margin on a fully taxable equivalent basis rose by 18 basis points in the quarter to 4.19% compared to the same period in 2006. Koval explained that the increase was achieved despite a continued challenging rate environment and flat yield curve. The margin for the quarter also represents an increase of five basis points over the fourth quarter of last year.
Although first quarter net interest income declined by 1.3%, when compared to the first quarter of 2006, last year's same-period results included net interest income from three branches that were sold in the fourth quarter of 2006 as Omega realigned its geographic footprint. Net interest income on a comparable basis rose by $92,000 or 0.62%.
Excluding gains on the sale of assets, other income increased $124,000 or 1.9%. The branches sold in 2006 contributed $51,000 in non-interest income in the first quarter of 2006.
The Company's continued focus on expense control in a variety of operating areas resulted in a decline in other expense of $825,000 or 5.6%. The three branches locations sold in 2006 accounted for $216,000 of this decrease.
"We are pleased that these solid results have reaffirmed our strategy to become increasingly customer-focused," Koval said. She added, "Omega is starting to see earnings momentum from the benefits of the 20 plus new products and services developed in 2006." Among these initiatives is Omega's DEPOSIT PRO, which allows business customers to bring the bank right into their office, along with the company's new "Bank to Business" initiative which has shown great promise in fee income derived from Omega's cash management division. Omega's other new venture, Omega Financial Mortgage Solutions, has grown rapidly in the first few months of operation. This new undertaking features a number of cutting edge mortgage products including their signature, HOME ONE, which allows the customer to break ground on construction loans within 21 days of application.
In other company developments, Omega Bank was named to US Banker's list of top 200 mid-tier banks ranked by three-year average return on equity (ROE). Omega ranked 10th among banks in Pennsylvania. During the quarter, Omega Financial was also added to NASDAQ's Dividend Achievers Index effective with the market open on Feb 1. The NASDAQ Dividend Achievers Index was launched in February of 2006 and is designed to offer a unique approach for NASDAQ investors seeking a long-term portfolio of higher risk-adjusted returns. Members of this index are typically companies with strong cash reserves, solid balance sheets and a proven record of consistent earnings growth.
