November 2,1987 Des Moines, Iowa Vol. 16 No. 29 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. Correspondent Services 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.
