WYOMISSING, Pa., Oct. 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- VIST Financial Corp. ("Company") (Nasdaq: VIST) reported net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 of $552,000, a 134.9% increase over a net loss of $1,581,000 for the same period in 2008. The Company also reported net income for the three months ended September 30, 2009 of $528,000, a 111.5% increase over a net loss of $4,608,000 for the same period in 2008. Total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $60,246,000 as compared to $57,214,000 for the same period in 2008, a 5.3% increase. Total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was $19,220,000 as compared to $14,714,000 for the same period in 2008, a 30.6% increase.
The Company also reported that the board of directors declared a third quarter cash dividend of $0.05 per share on the Company's common stock to shareholders of record on November 2, 2009 payable November 13, 2009.
Commenting on the third quarter 2009, Robert D. Davis, President and Chief Executive Officer of VIST Financial Corp. said, "We are pleased with the progress we are making in our core operating results, however, those positive results continue to be significantly offset by additional credit provisioning of approximately $800,000 and non-cash other-than-temporarily-impaired "OTTI" charges of $2 million, offset by fair value gains of $500,000. During the third quarter, we have experienced an improvement over the second quarter in our net interest margin, increased loan demand, growth in core deposits and a reduction in our net operating expenses resulting from actions taken earlier this year. We see those positive trends continuing into the fourth quarter, however we also anticipate higher than normal loan loss provision cost."
Davis concluded, "We are pleased that our board of directors has declared a cash dividend. By this action, our Board respects both the need to preserve capital while demonstrating confidence in our future operating results which will continue our well-capitalized status."
Net Interest Income
For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, net interest income before the provision for loan losses decreased 3.6% to $25,795,000 compared to $26,746,000 for the same period in 2008. The decrease in net interest income for the nine months resulted from a 6.4% decrease in total interest income to $46,678,000 from $49,887,000 and a 9.8% reduction in total interest expense to $20,883,000 from $23,141,000. For the three months ended September 30, 2009, net interest income before the provision for loan losses decreased 0.4% to $9,041,000 compared to $9,081,000 for the same period in 2008. The decrease in net interest income for the three months resulted from a 5.5% decrease in total interest income to $15,824,000 from $16,752,000 and an 11.6% reduction in total interest expense to $6,783,000 from $7,671,000.
The decrease in total interest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 resulted primarily from lower interest rates compared to the same periods in 2008. Average earning assets for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 increased $68,114,000 and $86,850,000, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2008 due primarily to growth in commercial and consumer loans and available for sale investment securities.
The reduction in total interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 resulted primarily from lower interest rates compared to the same periods in 2008. Average interest-bearing liabilities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 increased $48,132,000 and $72,316,000, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2008. The increases in interest-bearing liabilities are due primarily to an increase in average interest-bearing deposits for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 of $172,712,000 and $166,524,000, respectively, offset by a net decrease in average short term borrowings and average long term borrowings for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 of $124,580,000 and $94,208,000, respectively.
The provision for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $6,525,000 compared to $2,585,000 for the same period in 2008. The provision for loan losses for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was $1,400,000 compared to $525,000 for the same period in 2008. As of September 30, 2009, the allowance for loan losses was $11,995,000 compared to $8,124,000 as of December 31, 2008, an annualized increase of 63.5%. The increase in the provision is due primarily to economic conditions, an increase in outstanding loans, and the result of management's evaluation and classification of the credit quality of the loan portfolio utilizing a qualitative and quantitative internal loan review process. At September 30, 2009, total non-performing loans were $25,347,000 or 2.8% of total loans compared to $10,844,000 or 1.2% of total loans at December 31, 2008. The $14,503,000 increase in non-performing loans was due primarily to two commercial construction and development credits totaling approximately $10,887,000. Management considers the current allowance for loan losses adequate as of September 30, 2009.
Net interest income after the provision for loan losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $7,641,000 and $19,270,000, respectively, as compared to $8,556,000 and $24,161,000, respectively, for the same periods in 2008.
For the three months ended September 30, 2009, the net interest margin on a fully taxable equivalent basis was 3.24% as compared to 3.44% for the same period in 2008. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the net interest margin on a fully taxable equivalent basis was 3.15% as compared to 3.51% for the same period in 2008. The decrease in net interest margin for the comparative three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 was due mainly to lower yields on commercial and consumer loans and available for sale investment securities as a result of decreases in short-term interest rates over the same periods in 2008.
Non-Interest Income
Total non-interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 increased 85.2% to $13,568,000 compared to $7,327,000 for the same period in 2008. Total non-interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2009 increased 266.6% to $3,396,000 compared to $(2,038,000) for the same period in 2008.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, customer service fees decreased to $1,854,000 from $2,189,000, or 15.3%, for the same period in 2008. For the three months ended September 30, 2009, customer service fees decreased to $600,000 from $893,000, or 32.8%, for the same period in 2008. The decrease for the comparative nine and three month periods is due primarily to a decrease in retail and commercial uncollected funds fees and non-sufficient funds charges.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, revenue from mortgage banking activity increased to $963,000 from $810,000, or 18.9%, for the same period in 2008. For the three months ended September 30, 2009, revenue from mortgage banking activity increased to $288,000 from $145,000, or 98.6%, for the same period in 2008. The increase for the comparative nine and three month periods is primarily due to an increase in the volume of loans sold into the secondary mortgage market. The Company operates its mortgage banking activities through VIST Mortgage, a division of VIST Bank.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, revenue from commissions and fees from insurance sales increased 8.6% to $9,254,000 compared to $8,523,000 for the same period in 2008. For the three months ended September 30, 2009, revenue from commissions and fees from insurance sales increased 6.8% to $3,260,000 compared to $3,052,000 for the same period in 2008. The increase for the comparative nine and three month periods is mainly attributed to an increase in commission income on group insurance products due to the acquisition of Fisher Benefits Consulting in September 2008. VIST Insurance, LLC is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, revenue from brokerage and investment advisory commissions and fees activity decreased to $594,000 from $650,000, or 8.6%, for the same period in 2008. For the three months ended September 30, 2009, revenue from brokerage and investment advisory commissions and fees activity decreased to $112,000 from $186,000, or 39.8%, for the same period in 2008. The decrease for the comparative nine and three month periods is due primarily to the volume of investment advisory services offered through VIST Capital Management, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, earnings on investment in life insurance decreased to $279,000 from $503,000, or 44.5%, for the same period in 2008. For the three months ended September 30, 2009, earnings on investment in life insurance decreased to $95,000 from $171,000, or 44.4%, for the same period in 2008. The decrease for the comparative nine and three month periods is due primarily to decreased earnings credited on the Company's bank owned life insurance ("BOLI").
For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, other income including gain on sale of loans increased to $2,591,000 from $1,446,000, or 79.2%, for the same period in 2008. For the three months ended September 30, 2009, other income including gain on sale of loans increased to $971,000 from $511,000, or 90.0%, for the same period in 2008. The increase for the comparative nine and three month periods is due primarily to an increase of approximately $500,000 in the fair value of the Company's junior subordinated debt.
Net realized gains on sales of available for sale securities were $351,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to net realized losses on sales of available for sale securities of $291,000 for the same period in 2008. Net realized gains on sales of available for sale securities were $66,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared to net realized losses on sales of available for sale securities of $89,000 for the same period in 2008. Net realized gains on sales of available for sale securities for the nine and three month periods in 2009 and 2008 were primarily due to sales of securities related to the management of the Company's liquidity and ALCO strategies.
For the nine and three month periods ended September 30, 2009, net credit impairment losses recognized in earnings resulting from OTTI losses on available for sale investment securities were $2,318,000 and $1,996,000, respectively.

For the nine and three month periods ended September 30, 2008, net credit impairment losses recognized in earnings resulting from OTTI losses on available for sale investment securities were $7,085,000 and $7,085,000, respectively. Net credit impairment losses on available for sale securities for the nine and three month periods in 2008 were primarily due to OTTI charges of approximately $6,800,000 in perpetual preferred stock associated with the federal takeover of two government sponsored enterprises ("GSE's"), placed into conservatorship in the third quarter of 2008 by the Federal Housing Finance Agency and the U.S. Treasury.
