Third Quarter Earnings Reports Show—

•Small Banks Making Strong Comeback
EPORTS on third quarter and
nine month earnings for 1987
that have been received by the
N o r t h w e s t e r n B a n k e r , and sub­
s ta n tia te d by an analysis o f the
same time periods by Sheshunoff &
Co. show strong regional and ag
banks have been making a good
recovery this year in earnings com ­
p a r e d to the past year.
Sheshunoff reports that “ the $8.1
billion earned by the nation’s 11,626
profitable banks was more than off­
set by the $13.5 billion lost by the
•country's 2,262 unprofitable banks.
Yet, m ost o f the loss — 76% — was
reported by the nation’s 16 largest
banks, which posted a com bined de_ficit o f $10.3 billion for the first six
•m onths o f the year, resulting mainly
from huge increases in loan loss re­
serves to cover nonperform ing Third
W orld loans.”
m Although poor loan quality persists
• for the banking industry nation-wide,
Sheshunoff points out, with non­
performing loans up 34.5% since last
year-end, banks in agricultural
^ states have emerged finally and are
• m akin g a comeback. Idaho leads in
the turnaround with the largest
earnings increase, 152.1%, followed
by Iowa at 119.7% and Nebraska
fb a n k earnings with a gain of 42.2%.
Am ong the 10 states listed by
Sheshunoff with the largest increase
in nonperform ing loans, only two

R

midwest states are listed, both with
small increases. Minnesota, named
as fifth on the list showed an in­
crease in nonperform ing loans since
last December 31 o f 0.86%, while Il­
linois, 10th on the list, had an in­
crease of ju st 0.64%. Alaska led the
list of 10 with an increase in non­
perform ing loans of 4.37% to a total
of 15.02% o f all loans listed as non­
perform ing. M innesota’ s nonper­
form ing loans are 4.05% of total,
while Illinois’ total o f nonperforming loans is 3.09%.
On the other side, five of the 10
states named as having the largest
decrease in nonperform ing loans are
in N o r t h w e s t e r n B a n k e r terri­
tory. A t the top is Iowa, with a 0.5%
drop, followed by decreases of 0.49%
for W yom ing and a 0.36% drop for
South Dakota. Montana, in seventh
place, had a 0.13% decrease, while
ninth place Colorado dropped a simi­
lar amount in perform ing loans.
Statements received by N o r t h ­
w e s t e r n B a n k e r from several lead­
ing regional banks show those in
m etropolitan areas would have had
excellent earnings reports but they
were adversely affected by the addi­
tions to loan loss reserves made
necessary by nonperform ing Third
W orld loans in which they partici­
pated. First Bank System, Inc., for
example, had net income for the first
nine months o f 1987 o f $7.1 million

FirsTier.

compared with $148.1 million a year
ago, despite having added $160 mil­
lion to the reserve for loan losses.
Third quarter earnings were up
4.6% against the same quarter a
year ago. First W isconsin Corpora­
tion had a similar experience, post­
ing a 7 % gain in third quarter net in­
come, but a loss of $25 million for
nine months compared to total in­
come for three quarters o f 1986 of
$40.8 million, after having added
$96 million to the international loan
loss reserve.
On the plus side, FirsTier Finan­
cial, Inc., which owns FirsTier Bank
Omaha and FirsTier Bank Lincoln,
with com bined deposits o f $2 billion,
posted net income in the third quar­
ter of $5.2 million, a 42.3% gain, and
nine month earnings o f $14.7 mil­
lion, up 37.8% over the 1986 period.
Iowa holding companies, which
had taken a severe beating over ag
loan losses for several years, all
showed com ebacks. First Interstate
of Iowa, Des M oines, had third quar­
ter net income of $1 million, com ­
pared to a net loss for the same
period in 1986 o f $1,762,000. Simi­
larly, nine month earnings were $ 1,
823,000 in 1987, compared to a net
loss of $2,935,000 in 1986.
Hawkeye Bancorporation, the
hardest hit o f all the holding com ­
panies in Iowa, posted third quarter
earnings o f $ 1.8 million, compared
to the loss of $25.2 million regis­
tered a year ago in the third quarter.
Its nine month net income o f $ 12.2
