Business Wire
International Bancshares Corporation (NASDAQ: IBOC) today reported
earnings for the first quarter of 2008 of $33.5 million, or $.49
diluted earnings per common share and $.49 basic earnings per
common share, as compared to $18.6 million or $.27 diluted earnings
per common share and $.27 basic earnings per common share for the
same period of 2007, which represents an increase of 81.5 percent
in diluted earnings per common share and an increase of 80.1
percent in net income. Net income for the first quarter 2007 was
negatively impacted by an impairment charge of $13.1 million, after
tax, on certain investments. A significant portion of the
impairment charge is a result of the Company�s strategic
identification of certain investment securities sold in 2007 with
the proceeds from the sales used to reduce Federal Home Loan Bank
(�FHLB�) borrowings. �Net income for the first quarter of 2008
represents a solid level of performance and reflects favorably on
IBC�s commitment to superior earnings. I�m also pleased with the
first quarter earnings, despite the credit turmoil existing in the
markets today. During the 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�), the Federal
National Mortgage Corporation (�Fannie Mae�) or the Government
National Mortgage Corporation (�Ginnie 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 creating stress on
the Company�s earnings because of the costs associated with the
expansion. The Company believes it is necessary to expand its
existing footprint to better serve IBC�s current and future
customers, as well as, expand IBC�s market share and increase
non-interest income,� said Dennis E. Nixon, President and CEO.
Total assets at March 31, 2008 were $11.0 billion compared to $11.1
billion at December 31, 2007. Total loans were $5.5 billion at
March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007. Deposits were $7.2 billion at
March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007. IBC is a multi-bank financial
holding company headquartered in Laredo, Texas, with over 260
facilities and more than 405 ATMs serving 100 communities in Texas
and Oklahoma. �Safe Harbor� statement under the Private Securities
