FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Steady Margin Improvement bolsters First M&F Core Earnings.

KOSCIUSKO, Miss. - First M&F Corp. (NASDAQ: FMFC) reported today a net profit for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 of $1.330 million compared to $1.245 million at September 30, 2010.  Net income for the quarter allocated to common shareholders was $.878 million or $0.10 basic and diluted earnings per share, compared to September 30, 2010 common earnings of $13.565 million and $1.49 per share which included a gain on the exchange of preferred stock of $12.867 million.  Common net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 was $.883 million or $0.10 per share versus the year-ago quarter common net income of $.804 million excluding the gain on exchange, or $.09 basic and diluted earnings per share.  Second quarter of 2011 earnings allocated to common shareholders were $.661 million, or $.07 basic and diluted earnings per share.

Hugh Potts, Jr., Chairman and CEO commented, “The overall upward trend in net interest margin over the last year has provided a strong base for a continuing recovery of earnings which improves our capacity to remediate our credit issues.  In that vein, the foreclosure and acquisition and then disposition of Other Real Estate are essential ingredients in cleaning up after a real estate collapse and credit cycle such as we’ve seen since 2008.  We have made much progress in that area as reflected by improving credit metrics.”

Net Interest Income

Reported net interest income was up 7.57% compared to the third quarter of 2010, with the net interest margin increasing to 3.72% on a tax equivalent basis in the third quarter of 2011 as compared to 3.60% in the third quarter of 2010. The significant contributors to the increase in net interest margin year over year continues to be the improvement in spreads, primarily due to lower cost of funds supplemented by a trend downward in new nonaccrual loans. The net interest margin for the second quarter of 2011 was 3.75% as compared to 3.59% for the first quarter of 2011 and 3.57% for the fourth quarter of 2010.  Loan yields fell to 5.81% in the third quarter of 2011 from 5.90% in the third quarter of 2010. Loan yields decreased from the second quarter of 2011 to the third quarter as well as the Company strove to increase loan volumes in the face of tepid demand. Average loans were $1.035 billion for the third quarter of 2011 as compared to $1.053 billion for the second quarter of 2011 and $1.052 billion during the third quarter of 2010. Loans held for investment decreased by $29.6 million in the third quarter of 2011 and fell by $6.7 million in the second quarter.
 
 
 

 
 
Deposit costs decreased in the third quarter of 2011 from the second quarter of 2011 and from the third quarter of 2010, in response to the continuing low rate environment.  Deposit costs were 1.10% in the third quarter of 2011 as compared to 1.60% in the third quarter of 2010. Deposits fell by $40.6 million during the third quarter of 2011 consistent with historic seasonal fluctuations but have grown $62.0 million since the third quarter of 2010. Management plans to continue to focus on core deposit growth for 2011 to encourage relationship-driven deposits as a stable source of funding.

Loans held for investment as a percentage of assets were 64.0% at September 30, 2011 as compared to 67.7% at September 30, 2010 and 66.1% at December 31, 2010. Loans held for investment fell by 3.06% since the third quarter of 2010 while deposits grew by 4.69%.

Non-interest Income

Non-interest income, excluding securities transactions and impairment of investments, for the third quarter of 2011 improved by 3.77% compared to the third quarter of 2010, with deposit-related income up 3.50%.  Insurance agency commissions were flat quarter over quarter.

A major part of non-interest income is from deposit sources.  Deposit revenues for the quarter benefitted from an August, 2011 overdraft fee increase of $6.00 and also continue to be supported by debit card fee income, which was up 15.7% in the third quarter of 2011 compared to the third quarter of 2010, while overdraft fee income was virtually flat.

Non-interest Expenses

Non-interest expenses were up by 7.87% in the third quarter of 2011 as compared to the third quarter of 2010 largely due to higher foreclosed property expenses.  Mr. Potts commented, “We initiated a cost savings and efficiency project in the third quarter, Project McKinley, designed to position the bank to better deal with the continuing low-growth economy.  The initiative involves the closure or sale by year-end of six branches with commensurate staff reductions throughout the bank.  McKinley is an appropriate reflection of changes in customer delivery channel preferences as well as the general economic outlook.  The positive overhead effects will be seen in 2012.”

Credit Quality

Annualized net loan charge-offs as a percent of average loans for the third quarter of 2011 were 2.03% as compared to 0.19% for the same period in 2010.  Net charge-offs totaled $5.274 million for the quarter versus $.504 million a year ago and $.518 million in the second quarter of 2011.  Non-accrual and 90-day past due loans as a percent of total loans were 2.61% at the end of the third quarter of 2011 as compared to 3.61% at the end of the 2010 quarter. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans held for investment was 1.59% at September 30, 2011 as compared to 1.92% at September 30, 2010. The provision for loan losses grew slightly to $2.580 million in the third quarter of 2011 from $2.280 million in the third quarter of 2010.  Mr. Potts commented, “Virtually every credit trend we measure is moving in a positive direction in spite of the sluggish economy.  Although net charge-offs are up versus the year ago quarter, year-to-date net charge-offs since 2009 continue to fall.”

Balance Sheet

Total assets at September 30, 2011 were $1.587 billion as compared to $1.604 billion at the end of 2010 and $1.547 billion at September 30, 2010. Total loans held for investment were $1.015 billion compared to $1.060 billion at the end of 2010 and $1.047 billion at September 30, 2010. Deposits were $1.384 billion compared to $1.375 billion at the end of 2010 and $1.322 billion at September 30, 2010. Total capital was $110.8 million or $10.23 in book value per common share at September 30, 2011.

In closing, Mr. Potts said, “Much of the business and retail community continues to mark time awaiting a positive shift in public policy toward a less restrictive, less expensive and more market accommodative business climate.  We are not, however, content to just “wait and see” what develops.  Our specialty lending niches, church and timber lending as well as our SBA credit program, recently named in the top five SBA lenders in Mississippi, are beginning to gain traction.  We believe they will bear fruit and add value during the coming periods.”
