BofI Holding, Inc. Announces Third Quarter Net Income of $5.3 Million

 

 

SAN DIEGO, CA – (MARKETWIRE) – May 5, 2011 — BofI Holding, Inc. (NASDAQ: BOFI) (“BofI”), parent of Bank of Internet USA (the “Bank”), today announced financial results for the third quarter of its 2011 fiscal year which ended March 31, 2011. BofI net income was $5,275,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $7,175,000 earned for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Excluding the after-tax impact of gains and losses related to investment securities, net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 would have been $4,453,000, up $105,000, or 2.4% compared to adjusted net income of $4,348,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010. The increase in earnings after excluding investment securities activities was primarily the result of increased net interest income. The average balance of interest-earning assets for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 increased $324.3 million to $1,648.4 million compared to the average balance for the third quarter last year of $1,324.1 million. Leading the growth of Bank assets was the loan portfolio average balance which increased $374.6 million this quarter compared to the average balance for the quarter ended March 31, 2010. Earnings attributable to BofI’s common stockholders were $5,198,000 or $0.48 per diluted share for the current quarter, compared to $7,002,000 or $0.77 per diluted share for the quarter ended March 31, 2010.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2011, net income was $15,036,000 compared to net income of $16,431,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010. Net income attributable to common stockholders was $14,804,000 or $1.37 per diluted share compared to net income of $15,912,000 or $1.79 per diluted share for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

“Our loan portfolio is growing at an annualized rate of 113.8% and driving our earnings growth,” said Greg Garrabrants, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our multifamily and single family portfolio businesses combined to originate $152.3 million, up 7.4% from the $141.8 million originated last quarter and up 127.3% over the $67.0 million originated in the quarter ended September 30, 2010. The net interest margin for the third quarter ended March 31, 2011 was 3.71%, about even with last quarter’s 3.72%.”

“Our single and multifamily portfolio lending products are leading our high-quality asset growth at attractive spreads. One of our strengths as a banking franchise has been asset quality and I am particularly proud to report that our strong non-performing loan percentage got stronger this quarter, improving to 94 basis points at March 31, 2011, down from 164 basis points at December 31, 2010.”

Other Highlights:

 

 

Deposits grew by $297.6 million, or 30.7% compared to deposits at March 31, 2010

 

 

Asset quality remains strong with total non-performing assets equal to 1.11% of total assets at March 31, 2011

 

 

Tangible book value increased to $13.25 per share, up $1.36 compared to the tangible book value at March 31, 2010

 

 

Total assets reached $1,736.2 million up 23.9% compared to total assets at March 31, 2010


Quarter Earnings Summary

For the three months ended March 31, 2011, net income was $5,275,000 compared to net income of $7,175,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Net income attributable to common stock holders was $5,198,000 or $0.48 per diluted share compared to net income of $7,002,000 or $0.77 per diluted share for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Net interest income increased $2,694,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 2011 due to a 24.5% increase in average earning assets arising primarily from loan originations and loan pool purchases. Our net interest margin decreased 10 basis points to 3.71% for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 compared to 3.81% for the quarter ended March 31, 2010. The year-over-year decrease in the net interest margin was the result of declines in loans and securities yields, partially offset by declines in deposit and borrowing rates. The loan loss provision was $1,150,000 and $1,250,000 for the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010, respectively. Year-over-year, there was little change in the loan loss provisions for the quarter as charge-offs remained relatively flat.

Non-interest income was $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and included $1,478,000 in gains on sales of securities during the quarter, $444,000 in mortgage banking revenue and an other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) loss of $173,000. The non-interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was primarily the result of gains on sales of securities of $5.9 million, $662,000 in mortgage banking revenue and an OTTI loss of $535,000.

Non-interest expense, or operating expense, which is comprised primarily of compensation, data processing and internet expenses, occupancy and other operating expenses, was $7.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, up from $4.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Expenses for total salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation increased to $3,833,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 compared to $1,858,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010. Of the increase in total compensation expense, 18% was attributable to mortgage origination commissions paid to employees, 29% was attributable to additional staffing in mortgage lending units, and 53% related to all other staffing costs. The Bank’s staff increased from 76 to 170 full-time equivalent employees between March 31, 2010 and 2011. Professional services, which include accounting and legal fees, increased $147,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2010. The increase in professional services was primarily due to legal fees for loan acquisition contracts and foreclosed assets. Advertising and promotional expense increased $143,000 for the three-month ended March 31, 2011 compared to March 31, 2010 due to increases in lead acquisitions for our single family loan origination programs and increased advertising for our multifamily origination program. The costs and losses associated with the maintenance and sale of the real estate owned (“REOs”) and repossessed RVs decreased $141,000 for the three-month period ending March 31, 2011 compared to the three-month period ended 2010. There are various factors attributable to the cost and losses associated with REOs, such as the number of REO or repossessed assets at any given time, the length of time we hold the assets, and changes in market values in local areas where the assets are held. The cost of our FDIC and OTS standard regulatory charges increased $125,000 this quarter due to higher average deposit and borrowing balances for the period ended March 31, 2011. Other general and administrative expense increased $173,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2010, primarily due to additional costs resulting from increases in loan volumes and increases in the number of Bank customers and the number of employees.

Balance Sheet Summary

Our total assets increased $315.1 million, or 22.2%, to $1,736.2 million, as of March 31, 2011, up from $1,421.1 million at June 30, 2010. The increase in total assets was primarily due to a net increase of $338.9 million in loans held for investment. Total liabilities increased $302.7 million, primarily due to an increase in deposits of $297.6 million and an increase of $3.0 million in borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco. Our deferred income taxes increased $4.4 million, or 69.4% to $10.5 million primarily due to mark-to-market entries associated with our securities portfolio, loan loss provisions, and stock award expenses.
