Unizan Financial Corp. Reports First Quarter 2004 Financial Results CANTON, Ohio, April 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Unizan Financial Corp. , today announced its first quarter financial results. Net income for the first quarter of 2004 was $2.4 million, or $0.11 per diluted share. This compares with net income of $7.0 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2003, and net income of $2.6 million, or $0.12 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2003. During the period, Unizan recognized an expense of $3.6 million pre-tax, or $2.4 million after-tax, in relation to the exercise of certain stock options and an additional expense of $1.2 million pre-tax, or $944 thousand after-tax, for merger-related professional fees. Net income for the first quarter of 2004, excluding the option charge and merger-related expenses, was $5.7 million, or $0.26 per diluted share. On January 27, 2004, Huntington Bancshares Incorporated (NASDAQ:HBAN) and Canton, Ohio-based Unizan Financial Corp. announced the signing of a definitive agreement to merge the two organizations. Under the terms of the agreement, Unizan shareholders will receive 1.1424 shares of Huntington common stock, on a tax-free basis, for each share of Unizan. The merger is expected to close promptly following the end of the second quarter, pending customary regulatory approvals, as well as Unizan shareholder approval. The shareholder meeting is scheduled to take place on Tuesday, May 25, 2004. "Unizan Financial Corp.'s results were slightly above the expectations we set for the first quarter of 2004," said Roger Mann, Unizan Financial Corp.'s president and chief executive officer. "I am especially pleased as our net charge-offs remained relatively low." Net interest income -- Net interest income was $18.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004, up 1.0% from the previous quarter and down 11.7% from the same quarter last year. The net interest margin was 3.08% for the first quarter of 2004 compared to 3.04% for the fourth quarter of 2003 and 3.54% for the first quarter of 2003. The increase from the previous quarter was attributable principally to a reduction in the cost of interest bearing liabilities to 2.48% compared to 2.55% the prior quarter. Other income -- Other income, excluding net securities gains and losses, was $6.9 million for the first quarter of 2004 compared with $7.0 million for the same period in 2003 and $6.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2003. Customer service fees, representing service charges on deposits and fees for other banking services, increased by $291 thousand, or 18.7%, from the first quarter of 2003 and declined by $263 thousand, or 12.5%, from the fourth quarter of 2003. The increase from the first quarter 2003 was mainly attributed to increased activity and charges within demand deposit accounts. Gains on sales of loans totaled $1.2 million, compared with $2.1 million in the first quarter of 2003 and $1.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2003. During the first quarter of 2004, gains from the sale of the guaranteed portion of its Small Business Administration (SBA) and other government guaranteed loans were $797 thousand, compared with $760 thousand of gains in the first quarter of 2003 and $797 thousand of gains in the fourth quarter of 2003. Gains from the sale of residential mortgage loans in the first quarter of 2004 were $448 thousand compared with $1.4 million of gains recognized in the first quarter of 2003 and $196 thousand of gains in the fourth quarter of 2003. With the recent rise in rates, fees associated with the mortgage related business have declined as refinancing activity slowed. Net security gains and losses, in the first quarter of 2004, included gains of $71 thousand compared to losses of $502 thousand in the prior quarter. The losses in the fourth quarter of 2003 related to the sales of equity securities and the write-down of a trust preferred security. Other expense -- Other expense was $21.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004, up 12.8% from the previous quarter and 28.2% from the same quarter last year. The principal reason for the increase in other expense compared to the previous quarter and the first quarter last year was the recognition of a $3.6 million expense related to the settlement of options in cash or with shares held less than six months. Additionally, the company recognized a $1.2 million expense for investment banker fees, due upon the signing of the merger agreement and for the fairness opinion, associated with the pending merger. Provision for income taxes -- The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2004 was 28.9% compared to 39.7% in the previous quarter and 31.4% in the same quarter last year. Balance sheet -- Total assets at March 31, 2004 were relatively stable at $2.8 billion compared to the same period last year and year-end 2003. In comparison to the prior quarter, assets increased by 1.2%. Assets declined a modest 1.6% versus the prior year with securities declining by 6.6% and loans increasing by 0.6% from the prior year period. Commercial real estate loans increased by $23.8 million, or 3.7%, from March 31, 2003 to March 31, 2004. Commercial real estate loans increased by $3.6 million, or 2.2%, on an annualized basis, from December 31, 2003 to March 31, 2004. Total deposits decreased by 3.6% compared to the prior year. From March 31, 2003 to March 31, 2004, interest bearing deposits declined by 9.7% and certificate of deposits declined by 12.2% while non-interest bearing deposits increased 11.7% and savings deposits, including money market accounts, increased by 13.9%. This is consistent with management's strategy to increase core deposits. Asset quality -- Non-performing loans to total loans increased to 1.45% at March 31, 2004 from 0.88% at March 31, 2003 and 1.32% at December 31, 2003. Non-performing loans at March 31, 2004 were $28.6 million compared to $17.2 million at March 31, 2003 and $25.9 million at December 31, 2003. Non-performing loans, excluding the portion of the loans guaranteed by the government, at March 31, 2004 were $21.7 million compared to $14.2 million at March 31, 2003 and $19.4 million at December 31, 2003. The 66.2% increase in non-performing loans from March 31, 2003 was mainly due to a $3.1 million increase in non-performing commercial real estate loans, a $1.9 million increase in non-performing aircraft loans and a $4.6 million increase in non- performing SBA guaranteed loans, of which $3.9 million is guaranteed by the government. The 10.6% increase from December 31, 2003 was due primarily to a $1.6 million increase in non-performing commercial real estate loans and a $1.8 million increase in non-performing aircraft loans. Net charge-offs were $1.0 million for the first quarter of 2004 compared to $1.3 million for the first quarter of 2003 and $1.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2003. Net charge-offs to average total loans were 0.20% for the first quarter of 2004 compared to 0.26% for the first quarter of 2003 and 0.31% for the fourth quarter of 2003. The decline in net charge-offs was attributed to a reduction in consumer charge-offs.
