Community Trust Bancorp, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)


Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (which consist of normal recurring accruals) necessary, to present fairly the condensed consolidated financial position as of March 31, 2009, the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, and the cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.  In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information, these statements do not include certain information and footnote disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete annual financial statements.  The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2008 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of Community Trust Bancorp, Inc. (“CTBI”) for that period.  The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, and the cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.  For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2008, included in CTBI’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.
 
Principles of Consolidation – The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CTBI and its separate and distinct, wholly owned subsidiaries Community Trust Bank, Inc. (the “Bank”) and Community Trust and Investment Company.  All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Reclassifications – Certain reclassifications considered to be immaterial have been made in the prior year consolidated financial statements to conform to current year classifications.  These reclassifications had no effect on net income.

New Accounting Standards
 
Ø Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities – This FASB Staff Position No. EITF 03-6-1 addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting and, therefore, need to be included in the earnings allocation in computing earnings per share under the two-class method described in paragraphs 60 and 61 of FASB Statement No. 128, Earnings Per Share.  This FSP was effective January 1, 2009, and did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.
 
Ø Business Combinations (Revised 2007) The FASB recently issued SFAS 141(R), which replaces FAS 141, Business Combinations, and applies to all transactions and other events in which one entity obtains control over one or more other businesses.  SFAS 141R requires an acquirer, upon initially obtaining control of another entity, to recognize the assets, liabilities, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at fair value as of the acquisition date.  Contingent consideration is required to be recognized and measured at fair value on the date of acquisition rather than at a later date when the amount of that consideration may be determinable beyond a reasonable doubt.  This fair value approach replaces the cost-allocation process required under SFAS 141 whereby the cost of an acquisition was allocated to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair value.  SFAS 141R requires acquirers to expense acquisition-related costs as incurred rather than allocating such costs to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as was previously the case under SFAS 141.  Under SFAS 141R, the requirements of SFAS 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities, would have to be met in order to accrue for a restructuring plan in purchase accounting.  Pre-acquisition contingencies are to be recognized at fair value, unless it is a non-contractual contingency that is not likely to materialize, in which case, nothing should be recognized in purchase accounting, and instead, that contingency would be subject to the probable and estimable recognition criteria of SFAS 5, Accounting for Contingencies.  This Statement defines a bargain purchase as a business combination in which the total acquisition date fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired exceeds the fair value of the consideration transferred plus any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, and it requires the acquirer to recognize that excess in earnings as a gain attributable to the acquirer. In contrast, Statement 141 required the “negative goodwill” amount to be allocated as a pro rata reduction of the amounts that otherwise would have been assigned to particular assets acquired.  SFAS 141R is effective for business combinations occurring after January 1, 2009.
 
Ø Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly –FSP SFAS 157-4 affirms that the objective of fair value when the market for an asset is not active is the price that would be received to sell the asset in an orderly transaction and clarifies and includes additional factors for determining whether there has been a significant decrease in market activity for an asset when the market for that asset is not active.  FSP SFAS 157-4 requires an entity to base its conclusion about whether a transaction was not orderly on the weight of the evidence.  FSP SFAS 157-4 also amended SFAS 157, Fair Value Measurements, to expand certain disclosure requirements.  This FSP is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009.  CTBI did not elect to early adopt.  This FSP is not expected to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Ø Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments – FSP SFAS 115-2 and SFAS 124-2 (i) changes existing guidance for determining whether an impairment is other than temporary to debt securities and (ii) replaces the existing requirement that the entity’s management assert it has both the intent and ability to hold an impaired security until recovery with a requirement that management assert: (a) it does not have the intent to sell the security; and (b) it is more likely than not it will not have to sell the security before recovery of its cost basis. Under FSP SFAS 115-2 and SFAS 124-2, declines in the fair value of held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities below their cost that are deemed to be other than temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses to the extent the impairment is related to credit losses.  The amount of the impairment related to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income.  This FSP is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009.  CTBI did not elect to early adopt.  This FSP is not expected to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Ø Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments – FSP SFAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 amends SFAS 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, to require an entity to provide disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim financial information and amends Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting, to require those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods. Under FSP SFAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, a publicly traded company shall include disclosures about the fair value of its financial instruments whenever it issues summarized financial information for interim reporting periods. In addition, entities must disclose, in the body or in the accompanying notes of its summarized financial information for interim reporting periods and in its financial statements for annual reporting periods, the fair value of all financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value, whether recognized or not recognized in the statement of financial position, as required by SFAS 107.  The new interim disclosures required by FSP SFAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 will be included in our interim financial statements beginning with the second quarter of 2009.  This FSP is not expected to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Ø Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies – FSP SFAS 141R-1 amends the guidance in SFAS 141R to require that assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from contingencies be recognized at fair value if fair value can be reasonably estimated.  If fair value of such an asset or liability cannot be reasonably estimated, the asset or liability would generally be recognized in accordance with SFAS 5, Accounting for Contingencies, and FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 14, Reasonable Estimation of the Amount of a Loss.  FSP SFAS 141R-1 removes subsequent accounting guidance for assets and liabilities arising from contingencies from SFAS 141R and requires entities to develop a systematic and rational basis for subsequently measuring and accounting for assets and liabilities arising from contingencies.  FSP SFAS 141R-1 eliminates the requirement to disclose an estimate of the range of outcomes of recognized contingencies at the acquisition date.  For unrecognized contingencies, entities are required to include only the disclosures required by SFAS 5. FSP SFAS 141R-1 also requires that contingent consideration arrangements of an acquiree assumed by the acquirer in a business combination be treated as contingent consideration of the acquirer and should be initially and subsequently measured at fair value in accordance with SFAS 141R.  FSP SFAS 141R-1 is effective for assets or liabilities arising from contingencies CTBI acquires in business combinations occurring after January 1, 2009.

Note 2 – Stock-Based Compensation
 
CTBI’s compensation expense related to stock option grants was $124 thousand and $175 thousand, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  Restricted stock expense for the first three months of 2009 and 2008 was $22 thousand and $11 thousand, respectively.  As of March 31, 2009, there was a total of $0.8 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock option awards that will be recognized as expense as the awards vest over a weighted average period of 1.2 years.
 
There were options to purchase 9,000 shares of CTBI common stock and 5,710 shares of restricted stock granted during the three months ended March 31, 2009.  The options were granted pursuant to the terms of the 2006 Stock Ownership Incentive Plan, with an exercise price per share of $29.82 (equal to fair market value on date of grant), a term of 10 years, and vesting in five years.   The restrictions on the restricted stock will lapse at the end of five years.  However, in the event of a change in control of CTBI or the death of the participant, the restrictions will lapse.  In the event of the disability of the participant, the restrictions will lapse on a pro rata basis (with respect to 20% of the participant’s restricted stock for each year since the date of award). The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors will have discretion to review and revise restrictions applicable to a participant’s restricted stock in the event of the participant’s retirement.  There were options to purchase 63,700 shares of CTBI common stock and 11,076 shares of restricted stock granted during the three months ended March 31, 2008.
 
The fair values of options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, were established at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the weighted average assumptions as follows:

Note 3 – Securities

Securities are classified into held-to-maturity and available-for-sale categories.  Held-to-maturity securities are those that CTBI has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity and are reported at amortized cost.  Available-for-sale securities are those that CTBI may decide to sell if needed for liquidity, asset-liability management or other reasons.  Available-for-sale securities are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains or losses included as a separate component of equity, net of tax.

(2)  
Represents decrease in value due to loans that paid off during the period.
(3)  
Represents change in value resulting from market-driven changes in interest rates and prepayment speeds.
 
The fair value of capitalized mortgage servicing rights was $2.5 million at March 31, 2009 compared to $2.2 million at December 31, 2008.  Fair values for the quarters ended March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 were determined by third-party valuations using a discount rate of 10% and weighted average default rates of 1.6% and 1.7%, respectively.  Prepayment speeds generated using the Andrew Davidson Prepayment Model averaged 20.4% at March 31, 2009 compared to 20.7% at December 31, 2008.  MSR values are very sensitive to movement in interest rates as expected future net servicing income depends on the projected balance of the underlying loans, which can be greatly impacted by the level of prepayments.  CTBI does not currently hedge against changes in the fair value of its MSR portfolio.

Note 8 – Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities
 
Effective January 1, 2008, CTBI adopted SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements.  SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value but does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances.  In this standard, the FASB clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.  In support of this principle, SFAS 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions.  The fair value hierarchy is as follows:
 
Level 1 Inputs – Unadjusted quoted process in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
 
Level 2 Inputs - Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

Level 3 Inputs - Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.


 
 

 

Assets Measured on a Recurring Basis

Securities Available-for-Sale – Level 2 Inputs.  For these securities, CTBI obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the bond’s terms and conditions, among other things.
 
Securities Available-for-Sale – Level 3 Inputs.  The securities owned by CTBI that were measured using Level 3 criteria are auction rate securities issued by FNMA. These securities were valued using an independent third party.  For these securities, the valuation methods used were (1) a discounted cash flow model valuation, where the expected cash flows of the securities are discounted to the present using a yield that incorporates compensation for illiquidity and (2) a market comparables method, where the securities are valued based on indications, from the secondary market, of what discounts buyers demand when purchasing similar securities.  Using these methods, the auction rate securities are classified as Level 3.

Mortgage Servicing Rights – Level 3 Inputs.  CTBI records MSRs at fair value on a recurring basis with subsequent remeasurement of MSRs based on change in fair value.  In determining fair value, CTBI utilizes the expertise of an independent third party.  An estimate of the fair value of CTBI’s MSRs is determined by the independent third party utilizing assumptions about factors such as mortgage interest rates, discount rates, mortgage loan prepayment speeds, market trends and industry demand.  All of CTBI’s MSRs are classified as Level 3.

Impaired Loans – Level 3 Inputs.  Loans considered impaired under SFAS No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, as amended by SFAS No. 118, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan — Income Recognition and Disclosure, are loans for which, based on current information and events, it is probable that the creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  Impaired loans are subject to nonrecurring fair value adjustments to reflect (1) partial write-downs that are based on the observable market price or current appraised value of the collateral or (2) the full charge-off of the loan carrying value.
 
Other real estate/assets owned – Level 3 Inputs.  In accordance with the provisions of Statement 144, long-lived assets held for sale with a carrying amount of $7.1 million were written down to their fair value less costs to sale during the quarter.  Long-lived assets are subject to nonrecurring fair value adjustments to reflect partial write-downs that are based on the observable market price or current appraised value of the collateral.

 
 

 

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations

Overview
 
Community Trust Bancorp, Inc. (“CTBI”) is a bank holding company headquartered in Pikeville, Kentucky.  At March 31, 2009, CTBI owned one commercial bank and one trust company.  Through its subsidiaries, CTBI has seventy-seven banking locations in eastern, northeastern, central, and south central Kentucky and southern West Virginia, and five trust offices across Kentucky.  At March 31, 2009, CTBI had total consolidated assets of $3.0 billion and total consolidated deposits, including repurchase agreements, of $2.5 billion, making it the largest depository of Kentucky based deposits of any bank holding company headquartered in the Commonwealth of Kentucky.  Total shareholders’ equity at March 31, 2009 was $313.0 million.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the appropriate application of certain accounting policies, many of which require us to make estimates and assumptions about future events and their impact on amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and related notes.  Since future events and their impact cannot be determined with certainty, the actual results will inevitably differ from our estimates.  Such differences could be material to the consolidated financial statements.
 
We believe the application of our accounting policies and the estimates required therein are reasonable.  These accounting policies and estimates are constantly reevaluated, and adjustments are made when facts and circumstances dictate a change.  Historically, we have found our application of accounting policies to be appropriate, and actual results have not differed materially from those determined using necessary estimates.
 
See note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information regarding our accounting policies.  We have identified the following critical accounting policies:
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents – Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks, interest bearing deposits in other financial institutions, and federal funds sold.  Generally, federal funds are sold for one-day periods.

 
Investments  Management determines the classification of securities at purchase.  We classify securities into held-to-maturity, trading, or available-for-sale categories.  Held-to-maturity securities are those which we have the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity and are reported at amortized cost.  In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, investments in debt securities that are not classified as held-to-maturity and equity securities that have readily determinable fair values shall be classified in one of the following categories and measured at fair value in the statement of financial position:
 
a. Trading securities. Securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term (thus held for only a short period of time) shall be classified as trading securities. Trading generally reflects active and frequent buying and selling, and trading securities are generally used with the objective of generating profits on short-term differences in price.
 
b. Available-for-sale securities. Investments not classified as trading securities (nor as held-to-maturity securities) shall be classified as available-for-sale securities.
We do not have any securities that are classified as trading securities.  Available-for-sale securities are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included as a separate component of shareholders’ equity, net of tax.  If declines in fair value are not temporary, the carrying value of the securities is written down to fair value as a realized loss.
 
Gains or losses on disposition of securities are computed by specific identification for all securities except for shares in mutual funds, which are computed by average cost.  Interest and dividend income, adjusted by amortization of purchase premium or discount, is included in earnings.

Available-for-Sale Securities – Available-for-sale securities are valued using the following valuation techniques:

Securities Available-for-Sale – Level 2 Inputs.  For these securities, CTBI obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the bond’s terms and conditions, among other things.
 
Securities Available-for-Sale – Level 3 Inputs.  The securities owned by CTBI that were measured using Level 3 criteria are auction rate securities issued by FNMA.  These securities were valued using an independent third party.  For these securities, the valuation methods used were (1) a discounted cash flow model valuation, where the expected cash flows of the securities are discounted to the present using a yield that incorporates compensation for illiquidity and (2) a market comparables method, where the securities are valued based on indications, from the secondary market, of what discounts buyers demand when purchasing similar securities.  Using these methods, the auction rate securities are classified as Level 3.
 
Loans  Loans with the ability and the intent to be held until maturity and/or payoff are reported at the carrying value of unpaid principal reduced by unearned interest and an allowance for loan and lease losses.  Income is recorded on the level yield basis.  Interest accrual is discontinued when management believes, after considering economic and business conditions, collateral value, and collection efforts, that the borrower’s financial condition is such that collection of interest is doubtful.  Any loan greater than 90 days past due must be well secured and in the process of collection to continue accruing interest.  Cash payments received on nonaccrual loans generally are applied against principal, and interest income is only recorded once principal recovery is reasonably assured.  Loans are not reclassified as accruing until principal and interest payments are brought current and future payments appear reasonably certain.
 
Loan origination and commitment fees and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred and the net amount amortized over the estimated life of the related loans, leases, or commitments as a yield adjustment.
 
Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses  We maintain an allowance for loan and lease losses (“ALLL”) at a level that is appropriate to cover estimated credit losses on individually evaluated loans determined to be impaired, as well as estimated credit losses inherent in the remainder of the loan and lease portfolio.  Since arriving at an appropriate ALLL involves a high degree of management judgment, we use an ongoing quarterly analysis to develop a range of estimated losses.  In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, we use our best estimate within the range of potential credit loss to determine the appropriate ALLL.  Credit losses are charged and recoveries are credited to the ALLL.
 
We utilize an internal risk grading system for commercial credits.  Those larger commercial credits that exhibit probable or observed credit weaknesses are subject to individual review.  The borrower’s cash flow, adequacy of collateral coverage, and other options available to CTBI, including legal remedies, are evaluated.  The review of individual loans includes those loans that are impaired as SFAS 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan.  We evaluate the collectibility of both principal and interest when assessing the need for loss provision.  Historical loss rates are applied to other commercial loans not subject to specific allocations.  The ALLL allocation for this pool of commercial loans is established based on the historical average, maximum, minimum, and median loss ratios.
 
Homogenous loans, such as consumer installment, residential mortgages, and home equity lines are not individually risk graded.  The associated ALLL for these loans is measured under SFAS 5, Accounting for Contingencies.  The ALLL allocation for these pools of loans is established based on the average, maximum, minimum, and median loss ratios over the previous eight quarters.
 
Historical loss rates for commercial and retail loans are adjusted for significant factors that, in management’s judgment, reflect the impact of any current conditions on loss recognition.  Factors that we consider include delinquency trends, current economic conditions and trends, strength of supervision and administration of the loan portfolio, levels of underperforming loans, level of recoveries to prior year’s charge offs, trend in loan losses, industry concentrations and their relative strengths, amount of unsecured loans and underwriting exceptions.  These factors are reviewed quarterly and a weighted range developed with a “most likely” scenario determined.  The total of each of these weighted factors is then applied against the applicable portion of the portfolio and the ALLL is adjusted accordingly.
 
Loans Held for Sale – Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of cost or estimated market value in the aggregate.  Net unrealized losses, if any, are recognized in a valuation allowance by charges to income.
 
Premises and Equipment – Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization.  Capital leases are included in premises and equipment at the capitalized amount less accumulated amortization.  Premises and equipment are evaluated for impairment on a quarterly basis.
 
Depreciation and amortization are computed primarily using the straight-line method.  Estimated useful lives range up to 40 years for buildings, 2 to 10 years for furniture, fixtures, and equipment, and up to the lease term for leasehold improvements.  Capitalized leased assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lives of the respective leases.
 
Other Real Estate – Real estate acquired by foreclosure is carried at the lower of the investment in the property or its fair value.  Other real estate owned by CTBI included in other assets at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 was $15.2 million and $10.4 million, respectively.
 
Goodwill and Core Deposit Intangible  We evaluate total goodwill and core deposit intangible for impairment, based upon SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets and SFAS 147, Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions, using fair value techniques including multiples of price/equity.  Goodwill and core deposit intangible are evaluated for impairment on an annual basis or as other events may warrant.
 
Amortization of core deposit intangible is estimated at approximately $0.6 million annually for year one, approximately $0.4 million in year two, and approximately $0.1 million in years three and four.
 
Income Taxes – Income tax expense is based on the taxes due on the consolidated tax return plus deferred taxes based on the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates.
 
Earnings Per Share (“EPS”) – Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, excluding restricted shares.
 
Diluted EPS adjusts the number of weighted average shares of common stock outstanding by the dilutive effect of stock options, including restricted shares, as prescribed in SFAS 123R.
 
Segments – Management analyzes the operation of CTBI assuming one operating segment, community banking services.  CTBI, through its operating subsidiaries, offers a wide range of consumer and commercial community banking services.  These services include: (i) residential and commercial real estate loans; (ii) checking accounts; (iii) regular and term savings accounts and savings certificates; (iv) full service securities brokerage services; (v) consumer loans; (vi) debit cards; (vii) annuity and life insurance products; (viii) Individual Retirement Accounts and Keogh plans; (ix) commercial loans; (x) trust services; and (xi) commercial demand deposit accounts.
 
Bank Owned Life Insurance – CTBI’s bank owned life insurance policies are carried at their cash surrender value.  We recognize tax-free income from the periodic increases in cash surrender value of these policies and from death benefits.
 
Mortgage Servicing Rights – Mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) are carried at fair market value with the implementation of SFAS 156 in January 2007.  MSRs are valued using Level 3 inputs as defined in SFAS 157.  The fair value is determined quarterly based on an independent third-party valuation using a discounted cash flow analysis and calculated using a computer pricing model.  The computer valuation is based on key economic assumptions including the prepayment speeds of the underlying loans, the weighted-average life of the loan, the discount rate, the weighted-average coupon, and the weighted-average default rate, as applicable.  Along with the gains received from the sale of loans, fees are received for servicing loans.  These fees include late fees, which are recorded in interest income, and ancillary fees and monthly servicing fees, which are recorded in noninterest income.  Costs of servicing loans are charged to expense as incurred.  Changes in fair market value of the MSRs are reported in mortgage banking income.
 
Stock Options – At March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, CTBI had a share-based employee compensation plan, which is described more fully in note 13 to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008, included in CTBI’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.  CTBI accounts for this plan under the recognition and measurement principles of SFAS 123R, Share-Based Payment.
 
Reclassifications – Certain reclassifications considered to be immaterial have been made in the prior year condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to current year classifications.  These reclassifications had no effect on net income.

Statement of Income Review
 
CTBI reported earnings for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 of $7.4 million or $0.49 per basic share compared to $6.5 million or $0.43 per basic share earned during the quarter ended December 31, 2008 and $8.5 million or $0.57 per basic share earned during the first quarter of 2008.  The increase from prior quarter resulted from a $1.6 million decrease in provision for loan losses as the loan portfolio and net charge-offs declined, $0.5 million in securities gains from repositioning of the investment portfolio, and a $1.7 million increase in gains on sales of loans resulting from increased refinancing by consumers of residential real estate.  The decrease from prior year first quarter was primarily the result of a $1.8 million decrease in net interest income as interest rates remain at historically low levels.

First Quarter 2009 Highlights

v  
CTBI continues to maintain a significantly higher level of capital than required by regulatory authorities to be designated as well-capitalized.  On March 31, 2009, our Tangible Common Equity/Tangible Assets Ratio remained significantly higher than our peer institutions at 8.34%, our Tier 1 Leverage Ratio of 10.38% was 538 basis points higher than the 5.00% required, our Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio of 13.08% was 708 basis points higher than the required 6.00%, and our Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio of 14.33% was 433 basis points higher than the 10.00% regulatory requirement for this designation.

v  
CTBI’s basic earnings per share increased 14.0% from prior quarter as we continue to successfully operate within challenging economic conditions.  Our prior quarter earnings were impacted by the other than temporary impairment charge of $1.1 million based upon the market value of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae trust preferred pass-through auction rate securities, as well as a $1.1 million decline in the fair value of mortgage servicing rights.  Basic earnings per share decreased 14.0% from prior year first quarter primarily due to the decline in net interest income.

v  
Pressure continued on our net interest margin due to the current interest rate environment and economic conditions.  Our net interest margin for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 decreased 8 basis points from prior quarter and 39 basis points from prior year.  Net interest income decreased $0.7 million and $1.8 million from prior quarter and prior year as average earning assets increased by $37.9 million and $105.2 million, respectively.

v  
Noninterest income for the first quarter 2009, excluding gains and losses on securities, increased 22.4% over prior quarter and 16.4% over prior year first quarter.  The quarter over quarter increase included a $1.7 million increase in gains on sales of loans and a positive $0.8 million variance in the fair value of mortgage servicing rights.

v  
During the quarter, CTBI did a small repositioning of our investment portfolio.  Gains on sales of securities for the 1st quarter 2009 were $519 thousand, and the reinvestment of the proceeds allowed us to increase the yield in the portfolio while only slightly increasing the overall duration of the portfolio.

v  
Noninterest expense increased 7.9% from prior quarter and 12.1% from prior year first quarter primarily due to increases in legal, other real estate owned, insurance, and repossession expenses from increased collection activity, as well as increased personnel expense.

v  
Nonperforming loans remained relatively flat from December 31, 2008 to March 31, 2009 at $52.2 million.  Nonperforming assets (nonperforming loans plus OREO) increased $4.7 million from prior quarter-end, December 31, 2008, and $17.3 million from prior year quarter-end, March 31, 2008.

v  
Our loan portfolio decreased an annualized 2.3% during the quarter with a $13.0 million decline, primarily in the residential loan portfolio due to the high level of refinancing activity from portfolio adjustable rate loans to secondary market long-term fixed rate loans.  Loan growth from prior year was $83.8 million or 3.7%.

v  
Our investment portfolio decreased $2.2 million for the quarter and $40.2 million year over year.

v  
Our tangible common equity/tangible assets ratio remains strong at 8.34%.
 
CTBI had basic weighted average shares outstanding of 15.1 million and 15.0 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.  The following table sets forth on an annualized basis the return on average assets and return on average shareholders’ equity for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008:

Net Interest Income
 
Our quarterly net interest margin declined 8 basis points from prior quarter and 39 basis points from prior year first quarter as repricing of deposits in our asset sensitive balance sheet is slower than the repricing of loans.  Net interest income for the quarter decreased 2.7% from prior quarter and 7.0% from prior year first quarter, although average earning assets increased 1.4% and 3.9%, respectively, for the same periods.  The yield on average earnings assets decreased 25 basis points from prior quarter and 123 basis points from prior year in comparison to the 20 basis point and 101 basis point decreases in the cost of interest bearing funds during the same periods.

The following table summarizes the annualized net interest spread and net interest margin for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.

Provision for loan losses to average loans, annualized
    0.34 %     0.43 %
Loan charge-offs net of recoveries, to average loans, annualized
    0.38 %     0.33 %
 
Net loan charge-offs for the quarter of $2.2 million, or 0.38% of average loans annualized, was a decrease from prior quarter’s 0.45% of average loans annualized but an increase from the 0.33% for prior year first quarter.  Although net loan charge-offs increased $0.4 million quarter over quarter, provision for loan losses decreased $0.4 million due to the $13.0 million decline in loans outstanding during the first quarter 2009 compared to the $24.0 million growth in loans during the first quarter 2008.  Allocations to loan loss reserve were $2.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 compared to $3.6 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2008 and $2.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008.  Our loan loss reserve as a percentage of total loans outstanding at March 31, 2009 remained at 1.31% from December 31, 2008, but increased from the 1.27% at March 31, 2008.  The adequacy of our loan loss reserve is analyzed quarterly and adjusted as necessary with a focus on maintaining appropriate reserves for potential losses.

Noninterest Income
 
Noninterest income for the first quarter 2009, excluding gains and losses on securities, increased 22.4% over prior quarter and 16.4% over prior year first quarter.  The increases in noninterest income quarter over quarter and year over year resulted primarily from increased gains on sales of residential real estate loans and positive variances in the fair value of mortgage servicing rights.  Gains on sales of securities for the 1st quarter 2009 were $0.5 million, while 4th quarter 2008 was impacted by an other than temporary impairment charge of $1.1 million based upon the market value of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae trust preferred pass-through auction rate securities.

Noninterest Expense
 
Noninterest expense for the quarter increased 7.9% from prior quarter and 12.1% from prior year first quarter.  Personnel expense increased $0.6 million over prior quarter and prior year, and legal, other real estate owned, insurance and repossession expenses increased approximately $1.1 million compared to the same period 2008 and $0.6 million from prior quarter due to increased collection activity.
 
The FDIC announced a special assessment of up to 20 basis points to be collected on September 30, 2009.  The FDIC may also impose an emergency special assessment after June 30, 2009 of up to 10 basis points if the FDIC deems that an additional special assessment in necessary to maintain public confidence in federal deposit insurance.   Based on the FDIC insurance premium schedule for 2009, we anticipate our premiums, exclusive of the special assessment of up to 20 basis points, to be $2.2 million for 2009 compared to $0.3 million for 2008.  The special assessment at the maximum 20 basis points based on our deposit base at December 31, 2008 would be $4.6 million.


 
 

 

Balance Sheet Review
 
CTBI’s total assets at $3.0 billion increased 2.3% from prior quarter and 4.1% from prior year.  Loans outstanding at March 31, 2009 were $2.3 billion reflecting an annualized 2.3% decline during the quarter and a 3.7% growth from March 31, 2008.  Loans held for sale increased $2.5 million during the quarter as a result of the increase in refinancing as interest rates have decreased.  CTBI’s investment portfolio decreased an annualized 3.0% from prior quarter and 12.1% from prior year.  Federal funds sold and deposits in other banks increased $76.3 million quarter over quarter and $67.5 million year over year.  Deposits, including repurchase agreements, at $2.5 billion increased an annualized 7.0% from prior quarter and 3.2% from prior year.
 
Shareholders’ equity at March 31, 2009 was $312.6 million compared to $308.2 million at December 31, 2008 and $306.8 at March 31, 2008.  CTBI’s annualized dividend yield to shareholders as of March 31, 2009 was 4.49%.

Loans
 
Loan growth occurred in the commercial and consumer loan portfolios but decreased in the residential loan portfolio during the first three months of 2009.  The commercial loan portfolio increased $18.1 million, the consumer portfolio increased $3.9 million, and residential real estate loans decreased $35.0 million.

Nonperforming loans remained relatively flat during the first quarter 2009.  CTBI's total nonperforming loans were $52.2 million at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 and $42.6 million at March 31, 2008.  Loans considered impaired under requirements established in SFAS 114 totaled $33.5 million at March 31, 2009 compared to $36.6 million at December 31, 2008.  Our loan portfolio management processes focus on the immediate identification, management, and resolution of problem loans to maximize recovery and minimize loss.
 
Foreclosed properties increased during the first quarter 2009 to $15.2 million from the $10.4 million at December 31, 2008 and the $7.4 million at March 31, 2008, as the legal system remains strained due to current economic conditions and CTBI continues working through a prolonged foreclosure process.  Sales of foreclosed properties during the first quarter 2009 totaled $0.5 million while new foreclosed properties totaled $5.5 million.  Our nonperforming loans and foreclosed properties remain concentrated in our Central Kentucky Region and consist primarily of properties owned by commercial real estate developers.

Allowance for Loan Losses
 
The allowance for loan and lease losses balance is maintained by management at a level considered adequate to cover anticipated probable losses based on past loss experience, general economic conditions, information about specific borrower situations including their financial position and collateral values, and other factors and estimates which are subject to change over time.  This analysis is completed quarterly and forms the basis for allocation of the loan loss reserve and what charges to the provision may be required.  For further discussion of the allowance for loan losses, see the Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates section presented earlier in Item 2.

Securities
 
CTBI uses its securities held-to-maturity for production of income and to manage cash flow needs through expected maturities.  CTBI uses its securities available-for-sale for income and balance sheet liquidity management.  Securities available-for-sale reported at fair value decreased slightly from $267.4 million as of December 31, 2008 to $267.0 million at March 31, 2009.  The excess of market over cost increased from a $1.4 million at December 31, 2008 to $3.3 million at March 31, 2009.  Securities held-to-maturity decreased from $25.6 million to $23.8 million during the same period.  Total securities as a percentage of total assets were 10.0% as of December 31, 2008 and 9.6% as of March 31, 2009.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
CTBI’s liquidity objectives are to ensure that funds are available for the subsidiary bank to meet deposit withdrawals and credit demands without unduly penalizing profitability.  Additionally, CTBI’s objectives ensure that funding is available for CTBI to meet ongoing cash needs while maximizing profitability.  CTBI continues to identify ways to provide for liquidity on both a current and long-term basis.  The subsidiary bank relies mainly on core deposits, certificates of deposits of $100,000 or more, repayment of principal and interest on loans and securities and federal funds sold and purchased to create long-term liquidity.  The subsidiary bank also has available the sale of securities under repurchase agreements, securities available-for-sale, and Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) borrowings as secondary sources of liquidity.
 
Due to the nature of the markets served by the subsidiary bank, management believes that the majority of its certificates of deposit of $100,000 or more and its repurchase agreements are no more volatile than its core deposits.  During periods of interest rate volatility, these deposit balances have remained stable as a percentage of total deposits.  In addition, arrangements have been made with correspondent banks for the purchase of federal funds on an unsecured basis, up to $20 million, if necessary, to meet CTBI’s liquidity needs.
 
CTBI owns securities with an estimated fair value of $267.0 million that are designated as available-for-sale and available to meet liquidity needs on a continuing basis.  CTBI also has available Federal Home Loan Bank advances for both liquidity and management of its asset/liability position.  FHLB advances remained at $60.7 million from December 31, 2008 to March 31, 2009.  FHLB borrowing capacity at September 30, 2008 was $234.2 million.  Long-term debt remained at $61.3 million from December 31, 2008 to March 31, 2009.  At March 31, 2009, federal funds sold were $97.5 million compared to $45.9 million at December 31, 2008.  Additionally, management projects cash flows from CTBI’s investment portfolio to generate additional liquidity over the next 90 days.
 
CTBI generally relies upon net inflows of cash from financing activities, supplemented by net inflows of cash from operating activities, to provide cash for its investing activities.  As is typical of many financial institutions, significant financing activities include deposit gathering, use of short-term borrowing facilities such as federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements, and issuance of long-term debt.  CTBI’s primary investing activities include purchases of securities and loan originations.
 
The investment portfolio consists of investment grade short-term issues suitable for bank investments.  The majority of the investment portfolio is in U.S. government and government sponsored agency issuances.  The average life of the portfolio is 3.34 years. At the end of the first quarter 2009, available-for-sale (“AFS”) securities comprised approximately 92% of the total investment portfolio.  The AFS portfolio was approximately 85% of equity capital, and seventy-nine percent of the pledge eligible portfolio was pledged.
 
CTBI’s stock repurchase program began in December 1998 with the authorization to acquire up to 500,000 shares and was increased by an additional 1,000,000 shares in July 2000 and in May 2005.  CTBI did not repurchase any shares of its common stock during the first three months of 2009.  There are currently 288,519 shares remaining under CTBI’s current repurchase authorization.  As of March 31, 2009, a total of 2,211,481 shares have been repurchased through this program.
 
In conjunction with maintaining a satisfactory level of liquidity, management monitors the degree of interest rate risk assumed on the consolidated balance sheet.  CTBI monitors its interest rate risk by use of the static gap model and dynamic gap model at the one-year interval.  CTBI uses the Sendero system to monitor its interest rate risk.  The static gap model monitors the difference in interest rate sensitive assets and interest rate sensitive liabilities as a percentage of total assets that mature within the specified time frame.  The dynamic gap model goes further in that it assumes that interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities will be reinvested.  CTBI desires an interest sensitivity gap of not more than fifteen percent of total assets at the one-year interval.
 
CTBI’s principal source of funds used to pay dividends to shareholders and service long-term debt is the dividends it receives from the subsidiary bank.  Various federal statutory provisions, in addition to regulatory policies and directives, limit the amount of dividends that subsidiary banks can pay without prior regulatory approval.  These restrictions have had no major impact on CTBI’s dividend policy or its ability to service long-term debt, nor is it anticipated that they would have any major impact in the foreseeable future.  During the remainder of 2009, approximately $23.0 million plus any remaining 2009 net profits can be paid by CTBI’s banking subsidiary without prior regulatory approval.
 
The primary source of capital for CTBI is the retention of earnings.  CTBI paid cash dividends of $0.30 per share during the first three months of 2009.  Basic earnings per share for the same period were $0.49.  CTBI retained 38.8% of earnings for the first three months of 2009.
 
Under guidelines issued by banking regulators, CTBI and its subsidiary bank are required to maintain a minimum Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 4% and a minimum total risk-based ratio of 8%.  In order to be considered “well-capitalized” CTBI must maintain ratios of 6% and 10%, respectively.  Risk-based capital ratios weight the relative risk factors of all assets and consider the risk associated with off-balance sheet items.  CTBI must also maintain a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4%.  The well-capitalized ratio for Tier 1 leverage is 5%.  CTBI’s Tier 1 leverage, Tier 1 risk-based, and total risk-based ratios were 10.38%, 13.08%, and 14.33%, respectively, as of March 31, 2009, all exceeding the threshold for meeting the definition of well-capitalized.
 
As of March 31, 2009, management is not aware of any conditions or current recommendations by banking regulatory authorities which, if they were to be implemented, would have, or would be reasonably likely to have, a material adverse impact on CTBI’s liquidity, capital resources, or operations.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices
 
The majority of CTBI’s assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. Therefore, CTBI differs greatly from most commercial and industrial companies that have significant investment in nonmonetary assets, such as fixed assets and inventories.  However, inflation does have an important impact on the growth of assets in the banking industry and on the resulting need to increase equity capital at higher than normal rates in order to maintain an appropriate equity to assets ratio.  Inflation also affects other expenses, which tend to rise during periods of general inflation.
 
Management believes one of the most significant impacts on financial and operating results is CTBI’s ability to react to changes in interest rates.  Management seeks to maintain an essentially balanced position between interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities in order to protect against the effects of wide interest rate fluctuations.

Certain of the statements contained herein that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act.  CTBI’s actual results may differ materially from those included in the forward-looking statements.  Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words or phrases such as “believe, ” “expect, ” “anticipate, ” “intend, ” “estimate, ” “may increase, ” “may fluctuate, ” and similar expressions or future or conditional verbs such as “will, ” “should, ” “would, ” and “could. ”  These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, economic conditions, portfolio growth, the credit performance of the portfolios, including bankruptcies, and seasonal factors; changes in general economic conditions including the performance of financial markets, prevailing inflation and interest rates, realized gains from sales of investments, gains from asset sales, and losses on commercial lending activities; results of various investment activities; the effects of competitors’ pricing policies, changes in laws and regulations, competition, and demographic changes on target market populations’ savings and financial planning needs; industry changes in information technology systems on which we are highly dependent; failure of acquisitions to produce revenue enhancements or cost savings at levels or within the time frames originally anticipated or unforeseen integration difficulties; the adoption by CTBI of a Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) policy that provides guidance on the reporting of delinquent consumer loans and the timing of associated credit charge-offs for financial institution subsidiaries; and the resolution of legal  proceedings and related matters.  In addition, the banking industry in general is subject to various monetary and fiscal policies and regulations, which include those determined by the Federal Reserve Board, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and state regulators, whose policies and regulations could affect CTBI’s results.  These statements are representative only on the date hereof, and CTBI undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements made.


Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
Interest rate risk management focuses on maintaining consistent growth in net interest income within Board-approved policy limits.  CTBI uses an earnings simulation model to analyze net interest income sensitivity to movements in interest rates.  Given a 200 basis point increase to the yield curve used in the simulation model, it is estimated net interest income for CTBI would increase by 3.66 percent over one year and by 4.41 percent over two years.  A 25 basis point decrease in the yield curve would decrease net interest income by an estimated 0.50 percent over one year and by 0.87 percent over two years.  For further discussion of CTBI’s market risk, see the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Liquidity and Market Risk included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.


Item 4. Controls and Procedures
 
CTBI’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective disclosure controls and procedures, as defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  As of March 31, 2009, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Executive Vice President/Treasurer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of CTBI’s disclosure controls and procedures.  Based on that evaluation, management concluded that disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2009 were effective in ensuring material information required to be disclosed in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q was recorded, processed, summarized, and reported on a timely basis.  Additionally, there were no changes in CTBI’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, CTBI’s internal control over financial reporting.
 
Management’s responsibilities related to establishing and maintaining effective disclosure controls and procedures include maintaining effective internal controls over financial reporting that are designed to produce reliable financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.  There have been no significant changes in CTBI’s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to March 31, 2009.
