  • Fourth Quarter Net Income of $0.48 per Diluted Share;
  • 2004 Annual Net Income of $2.32 per Diluted Share;
  • 23 Percent Annualized Core Deposit Growth in Fourth Quarter;
  • 20 Percent Annualized Growth in Commercial Credit Portfolios in Fourth Quarter

COLUMBUS, Indiana -- January 25, 2005 -- Irwin Financial Corporation (NYSE: IFC), a bank holding company focusing on mortgage banking, small business and home equity lending, today announced net income for the fourth quarter of 2004 of $14.4 million or $0.48 per diluted share. This compares with net income of $16.7 million or $0.56 per diluted share during the same period in 2003. For the year, net income totaled $69.9 million or $2.32 per diluted share, compared with $72.8 million or $2.45 per share during 2003. The decline is largely attributable to a reduction in net income from mortgage banking operations. Return on average equity totaled 11.7 percent and 14.8 percent in the fourth quarter and 2004, respectively, compared to 14.7 percent and 18.4 percent a year earlier.

"Fourth quarter results were driven by a mixture of good performance in our commercial portfolios and very difficult market conditions in our first mortgage business," said Will Miller, Chairman and CEO. "For the entire year, the turn around in our home equity operations and improvements in commercial finance nearly offset the expected decline in first mortgage results, allowing us to come close to our target return on equity, but with modestly lower earnings than in 2003."

"In the fourth quarter, we continued to see very good growth in our commercial portfolios, which grew at a 20 percent annualized rate during the quarter lifting total growth for the year, after a slow start, to 16 percent. Credit quality in our home equity portfolio continues to show marked improvement due to underwriting changes we have made over the past couple years. Our mortgage banking segment continues to struggle with excess capacity, both in our operation and in the industry. Our efforts to align our operations with lower origination demand are ongoing. Our mortgage banking results also suffered due to a significant and historically large unexpected compression between mortgage rates underlying our servicing portfolio and treasury- and swap-based rates which underlie our servicing asset derivatives book. This basis risk, which we previewed in October, was volatile during the quarter and, in fact, has continued thus far into the first quarter of 2005."

"While we were surprised long-term interest rates did not rise significantly in 2004, we continue to believe that factors are in place in the economy for these rates to go up and, consequently, for the value of our mortgage servicing asset to increase in 2005. This anticipated increase in servicing values, coupled with portfolio growth and stable credit quality should enable us to increase earnings in 2005. However, as noted earlier, interest rate spreads between mortgages and swaps have continued to compress thus far in the first quarter in an unusual manner. If this persists, it may suppress our results in the short-run, including causing first quarter earnings to fall significantly below our expectations, although if mortgage interest rates rebound to levels anticipated by most market participants, we believe we can meet our long-term earnings objectives over multiple quarters."

    Financial highlights for the period include:

Consolidated net revenues declined on both a sequential quarter basis and compared with the year earlier quarter. The majority of the declines in each period occurred in our consumer mortgage segments reflecting a combination of lower earning assets, reduced gains on secondary market activities, and lower net recovery of mortgage servicing impairment.

Our total loan and lease portfolio of $3.5 billion as of December 31, 2004, was up only $49 million or 1 percent from the end of the third quarter. However, our commercial portfolios increased $129 million or 5 percent (20 percent on an annualized basis) during the period, whereas our second mortgage loan portfolio declined $78 million, principally due to run-off. Our first and second mortgage loans held for sale totaled $0.9 billion at quarter end, down 8 percent from September 30.

Deposits totaled $3.4 billion at December 31, down modestly from September 30, but have increased 17 percent year-over-year. Average core deposits of $2.2 billion rose at an annualized rate of 23 percent during the fourth quarter and have increased $479 million or 28 percent during the past year as we continue to shift our funding focus to core deposits from wholesale sources.

We had $503 million or $17.67 per share in common shareholders' equity as of December 31, 2004. At quarter end, our Tier 1 Leverage Ratio and Total Risk-based Capital Ratio were 11.6 percent and 15.9 percent, respectively, compared to 11.2 percent and 14.6 percent as of September 30, 2004. The Risk-based Capital Ratio rose principally as a result of on-going loan sales and run-off of higher-risk home equity loans.

Our consolidated loan and lease loss provision totaled $2 million, unchanged from the third quarter of 2004. This provision reflects continued improvement in overall credit quality and in the credit profile of our newly underwritten loans.

Nonperforming assets (including other real estate owned of $9 million) were $45 million or 0.86 percent of total assets as of December 31, 2004, up from $43 million or 0.79 percent of total assets at the end of September. Our on-balance sheet allowance for loan and lease losses totaled $44 million as of December 31, down $3 million from the end of September. The ratio of on-balance sheet allowance for loan and lease losses to nonperforming loans and leases totaled 132 percent at December 31, compared to 136 percent at September 30. The decline in the loan and lease allowance principally reflects improvements in the credit profile and introduction of recoveries into loss curve models in our home equity portfolio and the resolution of several small commercial credits, principally the charge-off of a series of single vendor-based leases in our commercial finance segment for which we had previously provided loss reserves.

Net charge-offs totaled $6 million, up $1 million from the third quarter. The amount of 30-day and greater delinquencies, the ratio of charge-offs to average loans and leases, and the allowance for loans and lease losses to total loans and leases for our principal credit-related portfolios are shown below. In general, we are pleased with the recent credit performance of the portfolios and anticipate similar credit results in the near future.

(1) Home Equity on -balance sheet Allowance to Loans and Leases relates to Loans Held for Investment portfolio only.
(2) Off-balance sheet loans underlie our residual interests. These loans have been treated as sold under SFAS 140 and have a reserve methodology that reflects life-of-account loss expectations, whereas our policy for on-balance sheet loans requires that we hold loss reserve coverage sufficient for potential losses inherent in the portfolio at the balance sheet date. The figures for reserves in the column labeled "Home Equity Lending Off-Balance Sheet," therefore, are not balance sheet accounts of "allowance for loan and lease losses," but instead represent the percentage of undiscounted losses assumed in our residual valuation relative to the underlying loan balances supporting the residual interests.

  • Mortgage banking net income declined 76 percent on a sequential quarter basis, principally as a result of servicing asset impairment and hedge costs of $14 million, compared with a net recovery of $5 million during the third quarter, and lower secondary marketing gains despite a sequential quarter increase in originations.

The majority of the net impairment occurred as mortgage rates underlying our servicing portfolio declined approximately 5 basis points during the quarter, while intermediate-term swaptions used as hedges against rate declines increased in yield approximately 14 basis points. This inverse directional movement is unusual. The spread between mortgages and swaps is at a historic low given the current levels of interest rates. We continue to see compression between mortgage and swap rates thus far in the first quarter of 2005, but have maintained a derivative profile similar to that which we used in the fourth quarter as we believe intermediate- to long-term interest rates are likely to rise in 2005. At present, the dollar value of a one basis point change in mortgage interest rates equates to approximately a $1.6 million change in the value of our servicing asset. We have swap-based derivative positions with an approximate offsetting amount. However, our derivative position does not completely offset the interest rate driven potential change in value of our servicing rights as we wish to have derivative protection should rates unexpectedly decline. In addition, as discussed above, our swap-based derivative positions do not protect us from changes in the spread between mortgages and swap rates, or basis risk. Should this spread remain at the historically low levels seen in much of the fourth quarter and now continuing into the first quarter, it could have a significant negative impact on our first quarter results. At December 31, our mortgage servicing asset in this line of business had a carrying value of $319 million or 120 basis points of underlying loan balance, unchanged from the end of September.

We originated $3.5 billion of mortgage loans during the quarter, recording net origination fees and gains on sales of $34 million, compared with $3.0 billion of originations and $39 million of gains during the third quarter. During the fourth quarter, we recorded $8 million of revenues related to a sale of $2 billion in servicing assets, a $7 million quarterly increase.

Non-interest expense declined by $11 million or 20 percent on a sequential quarter basis as we continue to work on aligning our production operations with the current origination environment. During the quarter, we closed thirteen marginally profitable branches. The number of employees in this line of business declined approximately 196 or 10 percent during the quarter. For the year, this line of business had 500 fewer employees, a 27 percent reduction. Included in the non-interest expense reduction was approximately $5 million resulting from lower reserves for origination errors and agency repurchase obligations. This reduction was made to reflect refinements in our loss curve models and a reduction in pending repurchase requests.

Net income totaled $20 million for the year, a 74 percent decline from the $78 million earned in 2003, reflecting a decline in mortgage originations from record levels last year.

  • Commercial banking net revenues increased six percent sequentially from the third quarter aided by loan growth and related increases in net interest income as well as lower personnel expenses.

Net income for this segment of $6.7 million increased $1.2 million from the prior quarter which was depressed due to one-time personnel expenses. Net interest margin was 3.81 percent during the quarter, up from 3.74 percent during the third quarter. Our loan portfolio grew to $2.2 billion, up $0.1 billion or 12 percent on an annualized basis from September 30.

Credit quality continues to be strong. Thirty-day and greater delinquencies in this segment totaled 0.11 percent at December 31, compared with 0.24 percent at September 30. Our loan and lease loss provision of $0.8 million increased modestly during the quarter, but due to strong credit quality, totaled only $3 million during 2004, compared with $6 million in 2003. We anticipate our provision will increase modestly in 2005 as loan growth continues.

Net income totaled $23 million for the year, a 4 percent increase from the $22 million earned in 2003.

  • Net income in our home equity segment totaled $6.4 million, down from $8.3 million during the third quarter.

Loan originations totaled $335 million in the fourth quarter, down from $397 million in the third quarter, reflecting our decision to de-emphasize lower yielding loans due to competitive conditions. We sold $470 million of loans during the quarter, for a net gain on sale of $9 million. Included in this figure were $145 million of loans that were transferred as part of a sale of loans previously funded with a secured financing in the asset-backed market. During the third quarter, we transferred these loans and associated loan loss reserve to loans-held-for-sale classification; in the fourth quarter they were sold out of the loans-held-for-sale classification and a mortgage servicing asset of $1.2 million was recorded.

Our residual asset totaled $52 million at December 31, down from $69 million at September 30, reflecting strong cash flows and clean-up calls of $4 million on certain residual loan pools that had paid-down to less than 10 percent of their original balance. We recorded $10 million in residual trading gains during the quarter, compared to $4 million during the third quarter, reflecting improved credit performance ($3 million better than anticipated in our September 30 models) and the inclusion of the assumption of continued solid loss recoveries, albeit at a rate less than we have experienced over the past year as we assume home price inflation and recoveries will subside. Recoveries on loans underlying our residuals totaled $2.5 million during the fourth quarter of 2004, compared with $1.8 million in the year earlier period.

The decline in quarterly net income primarily related to increases in personnel costs for minority interests and short-term compensation costs related to improved annual performance in 2004 compared with 2003. At the end of 2004, we agreed to purchase the interests of minority owners; approximately one-quarter of the minority interests were purchased as of December 31 and we expect to purchase the remainder during the first half of 2005.

Net income totaled $30 million, for the year, compared to a loss of $20 million in 2003, reflecting a dramatic improvement in credit quality this year.

  • Our commercial finance line of business earned $1.1 million in the fourth quarter, even with results in the third quarter.

Loan and lease fundings reached a new quarterly high of $115 million. Our loan and lease portfolio in this segment now totals $625 million, a $65 million increase from September 30.

Loan and lease loss provision increased $0.4 million from the third quarter and offset the positive affect of higher net interest income during the current period. Our thirty-day and greater delinquency ratio in this segment was 0.70 percent, compared with 0.95 percent at the end of the third quarter. Net interest margin was 5.58 percent, up from 5.25 percent during the third quarter. As noted above, our non-performing assets declined approximately 37 percent in this segment to $4 million, principally as a result of the charge-off of the bulk of our exposure to NorVergence-related credits, an exposure which we discussed in our September 30, 2004, Form 10-Q.

Net income totaled $3 million for the year, a 79 percent increase from the $2 million earned in 2003.

Our results reported here are unaudited. More complete details on operations of each of our lines of business will be available in our audited Annual Report on Form 10-K, which we anticipate filing with the SEC on or about March 9, 2005.

Sarbanes Oxley Act Section 404

Although we have not fully completed our self-assessment of internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002, management currently believes, based on the information available to us as of the date of this release, that we will be able to state affirmatively that we have effective controls over such financial reporting when our review is completed and reported upon when we file our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
