Hibernia Homestead Bancorp, Inc. Reports
Operating Results for the Quarter Ended March 31, 2011
 
 
New Orleans, Louisiana (May 6, 2011) - Hibernia Homestead Bancorp, Inc.  (the “Company”) (OTCBB: HIBE), the holding company of Hibernia Homestead Bank  (“Hibernia” or the “Bank”), today reported net income of $19,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 compared to a net loss of $13,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010.  Earnings per basic and diluted share were $0.02 for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, compared to a loss of $0.01 per basic and diluted share for the quarter ended March 31, 2010.
 
A. Peyton Bush, III, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and the Bank, stated, “After incurring operating losses during the first two years following  our initial public stock offering, we earned a small profit in the first quarter of 2011.  However, loan growth slowed from the pace experienced in 2010 and total deposits decreased 0.2% from year end 2010.  While we are disappointed in the relative lack of growth during the first quarter, prospects appear good for increasing loan activity in the second quarter, and we continue to focus on loan and deposit growth as our highest priorities.”
 
Mr. Bush further stated, “Non-performing loans decreased slightly from the December 31, 2010 level, and Hibernia’s overall asset quality remains strong.  Non-performing assets consist of five single family first mortgage residential loans, and we believe that reserves allocated to those loans are adequate to cover any losses that may be incurred by the Bank.”
 
Mr. Bush added, “We recognize that non-interest expense is high in relation to the Bank’s current size, but we believe that our investments in facilities, systems and personnel are necessary to achieve the Bank’s growth objectives.  Committing resources to support growth will enhance the value of our banking franchise in the long run and will have a diminishing negative impact on operating profits as earning assets increase.  Meanwhile our strong capital position has allowed us to increase tangible book value per share from $21.23 after the initial stock offering to $21.28 at March 31, 2011 through share repurchases.”

Net interest income increased 21.9% to $724,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, from $594,000 for quarter ended March 31, 2010.   Several factors affected net interest income for the period.  Gross interest income was higher due to an increase in loans and a decrease in lower yielding investment securities as a percentage of earning assets.  Interest expense was higher due to an increase in interest bearing deposits partially offset by a reduction in the average rate paid on certificates of deposit.  During the quarter ended March 31, 2011, we made a provision for loan and lease losses of $15,000, which consisted of an increase in the reserve for impaired loans and an increase in general reserves due to the higher volume of loans outstanding.  Non-interest expense increased 9.0% from $653,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 to $712,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2011.  The increase in non-interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 was due primarily to higher salary expense and higher employee benefits expense relating to stock benefit plans.  These increases were partially offset by a decrease in advertising and promotional expenses.
 
Hibernia Homestead Bancorp’s total consolidated assets at March 31, 2011 were $77.0 million compared to $77.3 million at December 31, 2010.  Net loans increased 1.3% from $62.0 million at December 31, 2010 to $62.8 million at March 31, 2011, reflecting a $1.2 million increase in residential construction loans and a $249,000 increase in residential mortgage loans.  These increases were partially offset by decreases of $626,000 in commercial loans and $60,000 in home equity lines of credit.  The additional loan volume was primarily funded by a decrease of $1.0 million in investment securities.  Total deposits decreased 0.2% from $54.6 million at December 31, 2010 to $54.5 million at March 31, 2011, reflecting a $670,000 increase in money market accounts offset by decreases in interest-bearing checking accounts and certificates of deposit.
 
Non-performing assets, defined as non-accrual loans, accruing loans past due 90 days or more and foreclosed property, totaled $981,000, or 1.3%, of total assets at March 31, 2011, compared to $1.1 million, or 1.5%, of total assets, at December 31, 2010.  The non-performing assets at March 31, 2011 consist of five loans secured by first mortgages on one-to-four family residential real estate.   Management believes that the allowance for loan and lease losses is sufficient to cover any losses that may be incurred on these loans.  There was no foreclosed property at March 31, 2011 or December 31, 2010.
 
The Company’s total stockholders’ equity remained unchanged at $22.0 million as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.  The Company’s book value per share increased slightly from $21.26 at December 31, 2010 to $21.28 at March 31, 2011.  Hibernia Homestead Bank’s regulatory capital levels continue to exceed requirements for well capitalized institutions.
