FIDELITY D & D BANCORP, INC.
REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2011 FINANCIAL RESULTS

Dunmore, PA – Fidelity D & D Bancorp, Inc., (OTC Bulletin Board: FDBC), parent company of The Fidelity Deposit and Discount Bank, announced net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 of $1,227,000, an increase of $671,000, or 121%, compared to $556,000 for the first quarter of 2010.  Improvement in financial performance was seen from the combined management efforts across all divisions of the Bank: net interest income and other income increased $75,000 and $188,000, respectively; while, $100,000 less provision for loan loss was required and other operating expenses declined $615,000.  Earnings per share on a fully diluted basis for the quarter totaled $0.56 compared to $0.26 for the prior year period.

“Fidelity delivered excellent financial performance across all divisions in the opening quarter of 2011,” stated Daniel J. Santaniello, President and Chief Executive Officer.  “With continued focus on building customer relationships and a strong customer acquisition strategy, Fidelity continued to produce strong core deposit growth along with an improved net interest margin.  The company continues to be well positioned from a capital perspective, exceeding all regulatory requirements.  Management’s continued focus on enhancing asset quality produced improvements in all asset quality metrics.”

Net interest income increased $75,000 to $5,234,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 from $5,159,000 recorded during the first quarter of 2011.  The increase in demand deposits and less outstanding debt along with the interest rate environment led to the cost savings on interest-bearing liabilities which more than offset the decline in yield on interest-earning assets, increasing net interest income earned for the first quarter of 2011.  This also improved net interest margin to 4.05% for the first quarter of 2011, compared to 3.91% for same 2010 period.

A provision for loan loss of $475,000 was recorded during the first quarter of 2011 compared to $575,000 required for the same 2010 period. The provision for loan loss reinforced the allowance for loan losses for potential credit risks that may result from today’s uncertain economic climate, while improvement in overall asset quality dictated the lower required level of provision for the current quarter.  The allowance for loan losses was 1.96% of total loans at March 31, 2011, up from 1.79% at March 31, 2010.

Total other income recorded for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 was $1,413,000, compared to $1,225,000 for the same quarter in 2010.  The increase was primarily from added gains from mortgage banking and the sale of an SBA guaranteed commercial loan during 2011.  Mortgage servicing plus higher revenue from financial service and trust activities during 2011 contributed to the increased other income when compared to the first quarter of 2010.
 
 
 

 

The OTTI credit losses on pooled trust preferred securities were $75,000 and $79,000 in the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  The risk of future OTTI charges will be influenced by the performance of the collateral pools that support each pooled trust preferred security.  Additional rating downgrades, deferring collateral and reduced default recovery rates, could cause further OTTI charges to be recognized through future earnings.

Total other operating expense was reduced by $615,000, or 12% from $5,105,000 to $4,490,000 for the quarters ended March 31, 2010 and 2011, respectively.  The other expense decrease resulted primarily from $544,000 less salary and benefit costs incurred, including the $398,000 early retirement and severance costs realized in 2010, and the $113,000 reduction in collection and ORE expenses during the first quarter of 2011 as compared to 2010.

The Company’s assets increased 6% to total $596,296,000 at March 31, 2011 compared to the $561,673,000 total assets at December 31, 2010.  The Bank’s regulatory capital ratios improved for the period ending March 31, 2011 with a Total Risk Based Capital Ratio of 12.0%, Tier I Capital Ratio of 10.8% and Leverage Ratio of 8.4%, all of which exceed the current "well capitalized" regulatory requirements.

Fidelity D & D Bancorp, Inc. serves Lackawanna and Luzerne Counties through The Fidelity Deposit and Discount Bank’s 11 community banking offices.  The Bank's deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to the full extent permitted by law.
