STATE COLLEGE, Pa., Jan. 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Omega Financial
Corporation (Nasdaq: OMEF) reported $20.4 million in net income, or $1.62
per diluted share, for 2006, after a $4.8 million provision for loan loss,
or $0.25 per diluted share after tax, for two large commercial
relationships. Net income in 2005 was $22.9 million, or $1.81 per diluted
share. For the fourth quarter of 2006, net income was $4.4 million compared
to $5.4 million for the same period last year, while per diluted share
earnings were $0.35 and $0.42, respectively. "Both the fourth quarter and
full-year earnings were significantly impacted by an increase in loan loss
provision needed for these large commercial credits," said Donita R. Koval,
Omega Financial's president and chief executive officer. Favorable
resolutions of other problem credits helped offset the total provision
required for all loans, resulting in a provision for loan losses for 2006
of $3.9 million, versus $1.2 million in 2005.

Koval noted that the total impact on earnings in 2006 related to these
two credits, including the added provisions of $4.8 million, $1 million of
lost interest, and other related expenses, was just over $4 million after
tax for the year, which negatively affected earnings by 16% or $0.32 per
diluted share.
The level of loan loss provision in 2006 is due primarily to one
commercial borrower who filed for bankruptcy protection in 2006. In the
first quarter of 2006, approximately $20 million in loans for this borrower
were placed on non-accrual status; a $2.8 million principal reduction
payment was received in the fourth quarter of 2006. These transactions
resulted in an increase to the loan loss reserve for this borrower of $1.8
million and $3.8 million for the fourth quarter and the year, respectively,
and lost interest income of $1 million.
A further increase in the loan loss provision for $90,000 in the fourth
quarter and $990,000 for the year was recorded for another commercial
borrower who also filed for bankruptcy protection. This loan was sold in
the fourth quarter and the company does not expect any additional loss.
Nonperforming loans totaled $23.3 million as of December 31, 2006,
including the $16.8 million for the previously mentioned commercial
relationship. At December 31, 2005, nonperforming loans totaled $9.1
million.
The company remained focused on achieving positive operating trends in
a variety of areas. The net interest margin improved 15 basis points to
4.07% for 2006, compared to 3.92% for 2005. For the fourth quarter, the
margin improved to 4.14% from 4.03% for the same period last year.
Omega recorded increases in other income as well, particularly in
deposit and loan fees, which rose 8.4% and 18.5% respectively for the year.
Total other income went up to $28.8 million for the year and $8.4 million
for the fourth quarter, compared to $27.9 million and $6.9 million for the
same periods last year. In addition, the company kept its expenses in tight
control, with total non-interest expense essentially flat for the year.
"Increasing our net interest margin while maintaining expenses at last
year's level are strong indicators that our basic strategies are sound,"
Koval said. "We are also encouraged that the further development of our
customer relationship management sales culture has continued to diversify
our revenue stream beyond traditional products and we expect that to
continue into 2007 with the release of several of our new initiatives
including remote deposit capture technology, Professional Club account
segmentation and New Opportunity Checking." More details on all of these
service initiatives are available on the company's website at
http://www.omegafinancial.com.
In the fourth quarter, Omega completed the sale of three branch
locations acquired in the 2004 merger with Sun Bancorp that did not fit the
company's long-term strategy. These branch sales included sales of $21
million in loans and $33.1 million in deposits. The company further
restructured its balance sheet in the fourth quarter with the sale of $22
million in tax-free instruments. Asset sales increased the fourth quarter
pretax earnings from continuing operations by $1.7 million and the year by
$2.8 million. The sale of the branches will allow the company to
concentrate the deployment of capital into its core markets, while the sale
of tax-free securities will allow Omega to reinvest in higher yielding
assets.
