Business Wire
International Bancshares Corporation (NASDAQ:IBOC) today reported
annual net income for 2007 of $121.3 million or $1.76 per share -
basic ($1.75 per share - diluted) compared to $117.0 million or
$1.68 per share - basic ($1.67 per share - diluted), which
represents a 3.7% increase in net income and a 4.8% increase in
diluted earnings per share over the corresponding period in 2006.
Net income for the fourth quarter of 2007 was $35.4 million, or
$.52 per share � basic ($.52 per share diluted) compared to $31.8
million, or $.45 per share � basic ($.45 per share diluted), which
represents an 11.3% increase in net income and a 15.6% increase in
diluted earnings per share over the corresponding period in 2006.
Net income increased for the year ended December 31, 2007 as
compared to the year ended December 31, 2006 despite a $13.1
million, after tax, impairment charge on certain investment
securities. The impairment charge was the result of the Company�s
strategic identification of certain investment securities that were
sold in the second quarter of 2007 with the proceeds used to reduce
Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings. The sale of the securities
facilitated a re-positioning of the balance sheet to a more neutral
position in terms of interest rate risk and also improved operating
ratios. Net income for the year ended December 31, 2006 included a
$8.9 million, net of tax, charge to operations as a result of the
loss of a tax lawsuit with the Internal Revenue Service that was
litigated during the third quarter of 2005 in the Federal District
Court in San Antonio, Texas and that relates to certain leasing
transactions previously discussed in Note 17 of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company�s 2006 annual
report on Form 10K. Because of the trial court judgment issued on
March 31, 2006, the Company took the $8.9 million charge, net of
tax. Additionally, net income for the years ended December 31, 2007
and December 31, 2006 was negatively impacted due to an inverted
yield curve and increasing competition for deposits. As a result of
the inverted yield curve, the Company�s interest revenue coming
from its securities portfolio has been negatively affected. Because
of the issues surrounding the negative yield curve, the Company has
placed greater emphasis on growing its loan portfolio and
potentially improving the volume of interest income derived from
loans. However, the greater emphasis on increasing loan balances
comes with more risk and takes time to produce quality loans and
does not guarantee the Company will achieve its goal. Net income
for 2007 and 2006 was negatively affected by the aggressive de novo
branching activity of the Company. The Company has added 70 new
branches in 2007 and 2006. The Company believes that the de novo
branching will help in attracting new low cost deposits, increase
non-interest income and also help with the retention of current
customers as more out of market banks expand their branching
activities in Texas. The Company realizes that there is a certain
amount of time before each branch becomes profitable and as a
result, the de novo branching has negatively impacted earnings in
the short term. International Bancshares Corporation and

share Basic $ 1.76 $ 1.68 Diluted $ 1.75 $ 1.67 �I�m pleased with
the Company�s earnings for 2007 despite the impairment charges on
the Company�s investment securities. During the financial sub-prime
crisis, and the general anxiety regarding liquidity, the Company
has maintained its sound credit underwriting standards and a sound
investment strategy. The Company is not involved in sub-prime
mortgage lending and the Company has no exposure in its investment
portfolio to sub-prime mortgages. All of the mortgage-backed
securities held by the Company are either fully guaranteed by the
U.S. Government or issued by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage
Corporation (�Freddie Mac�) or the Federal National Mortgage
Corporation (�Fannie Mae�), which are government sponsored
entities. All securities issued by the three agencies are rated
AAA. Additionally, the Company has continued to grow its operations
and enhance long term shareholder value through an aggressive de
novo branch expansion knowingly resulting in a decrease in the
Company�s earnings compared to prior years because of the costs
associated with the expansion; however, the Company believes it is
necessary to expand its existing footprints to better serve IBC�s
current and future customers as well as expand IBC�s market share,�
said Dennis E. Nixon, President and CEO. Total assets at December
31, 2007 were $11.2 billion compared to $10.9 billion at
December�31, 2006. Total net loans were $5.5 billion at December
31, 2007 compared to $5.0 billion at December�31, 2006. Deposits
were $7.15 billion at December 31, 2007 compared to $7.0 billion at
December 31, 2006. IBC is a multi-bank financial holding company
