First quarter 2005 results include one month of operating results following the March 1, 2005 acquisition of Redwood Empire Bancorp. First quarter 2005 results also include a loss on sale of available-for-sale investment securities totaling $2.8 million, net of tax, or $0.08 per diluted share outstanding. The prior year's first quarter results included net income of $24.3 million and $0.74 diluted earnings per share. The return on equity (ROE) for the first quarter of 2005 was 24.7 percent, and the return on assets (ROA) was 1.90 percent; the loss on sale of available-for-sale investment securities in the first quarter 2005 reduced ROE by 3.1 percent and ROA by 0.24 percent. In the first quarter of 2004, ROE was 30.5 percent and ROA was 2.20 percent. "We are very pleased with first quarter results, especially completion of the Redwood Empire Bancorp acquisition. This acquisition expands our customer base in Sonoma and Mendocino counties, and increases the Company's earnings. Systems integrations are complete, and full integration will be finished by June 30," said Chairman, President and CEO David Payne. "Employee and customer retention remain our priorities following the merger," added Payne. Page 6 Redwood Empire Bancorp merger consideration included approximately $57 million, issuance of approximately 1.6 million shares of Westamerica Bancorporation common stock, and assumption of converted Redwood Empire Bancorp stock options. Redwood Empire Bancorp's assets totaled approximately $520 million on March 1, 2005. Westamerica intends to complete its branch consolidations in the second quarter of 2005. Westamerica has also entered an agreement to sell one branch located in Lake County, and anticipates completion of this transaction late in the second quarter of 2005. Net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis was $55.0 million in the first quarter of 2005, compared to $54.6 million in the prior quarter and to $54.6 million in the first quarter of 2004. The first quarter 2005 net interest margin on a fully taxable equivalent basis was 4.90 percent, compared to 5.01 percent in the prior quarter and 5.27 percent for the first quarter of 2004. The provision for loan losses was $300 thousand for the first quarter of 2005, reduced from $600 thousand in the previous quarter, and from $750 thousand in the first quarter of 2004. Net loan recoveries totaled $194 thousand or 0.03 percent of average loans (annualized) in the first quarter of 2005. Noninterest income in the first quarter of 2005 totaled $7.2 million, including a $4.9 million loss on sale of available-for-sale investment securities. The Company sold approximately $170 million available-for-sale investment securities in managing its interest rate risk position taking into consideration the acquisition of Redwood Empire Bancorp. The securities sold had a duration of 3.2 Page 7 years, while the proceeds from sale were applied to reduce overnight borrowings. First quarter 2005 noninterest income compares to $10.9 million in the first quarter 2004. Merchant credit card income increased $473 thousand in the first quarter 2005 compared to the year ago period primarily due to the acquired merchant card servicing business of Redwood Empire Bancorp. Financial services fees and debit card fees were also higher than the year ago period due to higher activity levels. Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2005 totaled $25.1 million, $863 thousand higher than the previous quarter, and $148 thousand higher than the first quarter of 2004. The increase from the prior quarter is primarily due to higher salaries and benefits, amortization of identified intangibles, and professional fees, all of which increased primarily due to the acquisition of Redwood Empire Bancorp. The increase from the first quarter of 2004 is attributable to professional fees and amortization of identified intangibles, offset in part by lower salaries and benefits. The first quarter efficiency ratio of 40.4 percent was 2.9 percent higher due to the loss on sale of securities. The efficiency ratio in the year ago quarter was 38.2 percent. Page 8 At March 31, 2005, shareholders' equity was $438 million and the equity-to-asset ratio was 8.4 percent. The Company and its subsidiary bank, Westamerica Bank, remain "well capitalized" under regulatory capital requirements at March 31, 2005. During the first quarter 2005, approximately 1.6 million shares were issued to the Redwood Empire Bancorp shareholders, repurchases of the Company's common stock totaled approximately 373 thousand shares, and approximately 32 thousand shares were issued upon the exercise of stock options. At March 31, 2005, the Company's assets totaled $5.2 billion and total loans outstanding totaled $2.7 billion. Westamerica Bancorporation, through its wholly owned subsidiary Westamerica Bank, currently operates 91 branches and two trust offices throughout 22 Northern and Central California counties. As a result of the merger with Redwood Empire Bancorp, the Company anticipates consolidating branches and selling one branch in Lake County.
