DNB Financial Corporation
Announces 2011 Third Quarter Earnings

(October 20, 2011 – Downingtown, PA) DNB Financial Corporation (“DNB”), parent of DNB First, National Association, the oldest national bank in the greater Philadelphia region, reported a 30.04% increase in net income and a 77.40% increase in core earnings for the third quarter of 2011, compared to the same period in 2010. Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $1.3 million compared to $993,000 for the same period in 2010.  Earnings per common share for the third quarter of 2011 were $0.36 on a fully diluted basis compared to $0.32 for the same period in 2010.

Core earnings, which is a non-GAAP measure of net income excluding gains and losses on the sale of securities and prepayment penalties on FHLB advances, for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $1.3 million compared to $730,000 for the same period in 2010. The Financial Statement section in this report includes a reconciliation of core earnings to the corresponding GAAP financial measure.

 William S. Latoff, Chairman and CEO said, “I am proud of our focused management team and our well trained and experienced staff who have grown revenues in spite of a weak economy and at the same time managed our cost of funds and controlled non-interest expenses. The net result has been a higher net interest margin and greater profitability overall. We believe that successful businesses continue to be successful even in difficult times and this remains our committment to our shareholders and the communities we serve. "

During the three months ended September 30, 2011, net interest income rose to $5.5 million compared to $5.0 million for the same period in 2010. The increase was due to a higher level of  loans combined with a reduction in interest expense, primarily due to lower rates on liabilities. The net interest margin for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was 3.70%, a 36 basis point increase over the same period in 2010.

Non-interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2011 increased $68,000 or 8.60% to $859,000 compared to the same period in 2010.  Non-interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2011 showed a modest increase of 1.30% or $53,000 compared to the same period in 2010 and reflects increases in marketing, occupancy and staffing costs offset by lower FDIC insurance costs.

Loans grew $15.2 million or 3.83% at September 30, 2011 compared to December 31, 2010. Total assets grew $6.8 million or 1.12% compared to December 31, 2010 and reflect the growth in loans offset by a decline in investment securities and cash and cash equivalents.

Deposits increased by $5.8 million or 1.17% to $498.5 million at September 30, 2011 compared to $492.7 million at December 31, 2010. Core deposits, i.e., demand deposits, money market accounts, NOW and savings accounts increased $29.7 million in aggregate or 8.37%, while time deposits declined $24.2 million or 17.49%. DNB’s composite cost of funds for the third quarter of 2011 dropped 32 basis points to 0.79% compared to 1.11% for the three months ended September 30, 2010.

Capital remained strong at the end of the third quarter of 2011, as DNB’s tier 1 leverage ratio stood at 9.65% and its total risk-based capital ratio stood at 15.29%. Management believes that these levels of capital are appropriate for current market conditions. Stockholders' equity increased $5.3 million to $50.6 million at September 30, 2011 compared to $45.2 million at December 31, 2010, reflecting solid earnings growth.

Non-performing loans to total loans was 1.95% at September 30, 2011, down from 2.24% a year earlier, but up from 1.82% at December 31, 2010. During the third quarter of 2011 and 2010, DNB provided $426,000 and $615,000 respectively, for credit losses. The allowance for credit losses was $6.4 million at September 30, 2011 compared to $5.9 million at December 31, 2010. Our coverage ratio, defined as the allowance for credit losses as a percentage of non-performing loans remained strong at  79.32% on September  30, 2011, but declined slightly from December's ratio of 81.46%.

William J. Hieb, President and Chief Risk & Credit Officer said, “As these stressed economic conditions persist, we have seen some increase in non-performing loans during the third quarter and an increase in charge-offs. However, we believe  our earnings strength continues to provide us with the means to provide adequate reserves as conditions warrant. We recognize the importance of being prudent with our lending decisions, but at the same time we are committed to providing local businesses and families the financial means  necessary to grow and prosper."
 
 
Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $3.6 million compared to $2.1 million for the same period in 2010. Earnings per common share for the nine months of 2011 were $1.10 on a fully diluted basis compared to $0.82 for the same period in 2010. Core earnings, defined above, improved to $3.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $2.6 million for the same period in 2010.

           Chairman Latoff concluded, “For over 150 years we've had a tradition of meeting the needs of our customers and communities. At a time when change and uncertainty are profoundly impacting the national and local banking landscape, DNB continues to focus on building relationships locally, while exercising sound financial management. As the oldest national bank in the greater Philadelphia region, we will continue to be the trusted community bank on which our customers rely."
