HAMPDEN BANCORP, INC. REPORTS SECOND QUARTER RESULTS AND DECLARES CASH DIVIDEND
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. February 1, 2011. Hampden Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ - HBNK), which is the holding company for Hampden Bank (the “Bank”), announced the results of operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2010.
The Company had net income for the three months ended December 31, 2010 of $491,000, or $0.08 per basic and fully diluted share, as compared to a net loss of $670,000, or $(0.10) per basic and fully diluted share, for the same period in 2009. The increase in net income was due principally to a decrease in the provision for loan losses of $1.5 million, or 83.3%. Also, for the three month period ended December 31, 2010, interest expense decreased by $558,000 compared to the three month period ended December 31, 2009. This decrease in interest expense was due to a decrease in deposit interest expense of $400,000 and a decrease in borrowing interest expense of $158,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2010 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2009. An offset to this was a decrease in interest and dividend income, including fees, of $516,000, or 7.4%, for the three months ended December 31, 2010 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2009. This decrease in interest income was mainly due to a decrease in debt securities income of $276,000 and a decrease in loan income of $247,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2010 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2009.
The Company had net income for the six months ended December 31, 2010 of $1.0 million, or $0.16 per basic and fully diluted share, as compared to a net loss of $832,000, or $(0.13) per basic and fully diluted share, for the same period in 2009. The reason for the increase in net income was due to a decrease in the provision for loan losses of $2.0 million, or 77.3%, for the six months ended December 31, 2010 compared to the six months ended December 31, 2009. Also, for the six month period ended December 31, 2010, interest expense decreased by $1.1 million compared to the six month period ended December 31, 2009. This decrease in interest expense was due to a decrease in deposit interest expense of $740,000 and a decrease in borrowing interest expense of $318,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2010 compared to the six months ended December 31, 2009. A partial offset to this was a decrease in interest and dividend income, including fees, of $772,000, or 5.6%, for the six months ended December 31, 2010 compared to the six months ended December 31, 2009. This decrease in interest income was mainly due to a decrease in debt securities income of $554,000 and a decrease in loan income of $228,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2010 compared to the six months ended December 31, 2009.
The Company’s total assets decreased $18.7 million, or 3.2%, from $584.0 million at June 30, 2010 to $565.3 million at December 31, 2010. Net loans, including loans held for sale, decreased $18.9 million, or 4.6%, to $394.7 million at December 31, 2010, and security balances remained consistent as of December 31, 2010 compared to June 30, 2010. Cash and cash equivalents decreased $1.3 million, or 4.2%, to $28.8 million at December 31, 2010.
Non-performing assets totaled $9.5 million or 1.69% of total assets, at December 31, 2010 compared to $6.6 million, or 1.13% of total assets, at June 30, 2010. Total non-performing assets included $8.6 million of non-performing loans and $989,000 of other real estate owned. From June 30, 2010 to December 31, 2010, commercial real estate non-performing loans have increased $2.0 million, commercial non-performing loans have increased $786,000, residential mortgage non-performing loans have increased $139,000 and a partial offset to these increases was a decrease in consumer non-performing loans of $58,000. Impaired loans totaled $17.4 million as of December 31, 2010. The Company has established $1.2 million in specific reserves for these impaired loans, which management feels is sufficient to cover estimated losses.
Deposits decreased $9.0 million, or 2.1%, to $411.1 million at December 31, 2010 from $420.1 million at June 30, 2010. Certificates of deposit decreased $12.4 million, savings accounts decreased $3.0 million and NOW accounts decreased $26,000. A partial offset to these decreases was an increase in money market accounts of $6.1 million, and an increase in demand deposits of $372,000.
Short-term borrowings, including repurchase agreements, increased $2.9 million, or 42.6%, to $9.7 million at December 31, 2010 from $6.8 million at June 30, 2010. Long-term debt decreased $11.9 million, or 20.4%, to $46.3 million at December 31, 2010 from $58.2 million at June 30, 2010.
Stockholders’ equity decreased $2.1 million, or 2.2%, to $92.7 million at December 31, 2010 from $94.8 million at June 30, 2010. The Company repurchased 284,830 shares of Company stock for $3.0 million, at an average price of $10.08 per share, in the first and second quarters of fiscal 2011 pursuant to the Company’s third Stock Repurchase Program announced in June 2010. In addition the Company purchased 10,500 shares of Company stock, at $9.95 per share, from Hampden Bank Charitable Foundation in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. Our ratio of capital to total assets increased slightly to 16.4% as of December 31, 2010 from 16.2% at June 30, 2010.
On December 22, 2010, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized a fourth stock repurchase program (the “Stock Repurchase Program”) for the purchase of up to 339,170 shares, or approximately 5%, of the Company’s outstanding common stock. The Company will commence its fourth stock repurchase program immediately upon the completion of its third repurchase program, announced on June 2, 2010. Any repurchases under the Stock Repurchase Program will be made through open market purchase transactions from time to time. The amount and exact timing of any repurchases will depend on market conditions and other factors, at the discretion of management of the Company, and it is intended that the Stock Repurchase Program will complete all repurchases within twelve months after its commencement. There is no assurance that the Company will repurchase shares during any period.
According to Thomas R. Burton, President and CEO, “The low interest rate climate continues to create yield and margin challenges and the stagnant local economy has limited loan growth. However, we are pleased to report a profit for the quarter of $491,000 versus a loss a year ago of $670,000.
Non performing loans, although relatively consistent with the past quarter, increased from 1.37% to 2.15% of total loans from June 30, 2010 to December 31, 2010. Impaired loans have remained consistent with prior quarters, indicating some evidence of trough in the commercial real estate market. Ultimately, we continue to remain cautiously optimistic that our local economy has seen the worse of this recession.”
The Company also announced today that the Board of Directors of the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.03 per common share, payable on February 25, 2011, to shareholders of record at the close of business on February 11, 2011.
