STATE COLLEGE, Pa., Jan. 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Omega Financial
Corporation (Nasdaq: OMEF) reported 2005 net income of $22.875 million for a
34.39% increase over 2004. Donita R. Koval, Omega's president and chief
executive officer, said the company's diluted earnings per share rose 1.70% to
$1.81, while common share dividends declared rose 3.3% for the year.

The Company's performance for 2005 was highlighted by the effective
integration of its merger with Sun Bancorp, which occurred in the fourth
quarter of 2004. While it is difficult to compare full year results because
of the merger, the Company's effective integration plan resulted in a
$7,843,000 or 11.39% reduction in non-interest expenses for 2005 compared to
proforma combined non-interest expenses for 2004. In addition, although the
challenging interest rate environment added significant pressures in 2005, the
tax equivalent net interest margin increased from 3.78% in the fourth quarter
2004 to 4.03% in the fourth quarter 2005.
Fourth quarter 2005 net income of $5,352,000 was $582,000 lower than the
net income of the fourth quarter 2004 due to a higher loan loss provision in
2005 and the inclusion of $1,066,000 of gains in the final quarter of 2004
related to the Sun merger. The loan loss provision increase of $890,000 in the
fourth quarter 2005 relates primarily to one large commercial borrower who is
experiencing cash flow problems. Omega has estimated and provided for all
known exposures for this credit, however, evaluations of the credit continue
and could result in changes to management's loan loss reserve estimates. Gains
on early extinguishment of debt and sale of loans and other assets decreased
$488,000 in the fourth quarter of 2005 compared to the same period in 2004,
while net interest income for the quarter declined $487,000, primarily due to
a decline in earning assets.
"We completed 2005 with several key initiatives underway that are designed
to enhance our performance in 2006 on both the revenue and expense side of our
operations," Koval said. "While we were naturally focused on implementing
merger cost savings, we also implemented innovations like Check 21 and virtual
proof, which should lead to significant savings in operating expenses. On the
revenue side, we are enhancing our Customer Relationship Management function
with the goal of increasing our customer focus and developing total banking
relationships that span all traditional lines of financial services."
Koval noted that Omega also introduced new products such as its Home
Equity VISA Card and Health Savings Accounts, opened a full-service financial
center at Bristol Court in State College, and consolidated its trust, asset
management, and financial planning services into Omega Wealth Management.
