WSB Holdings, Inc. Announces Third Quarter Results
BOWIE, MD — October 20, 2011 - WSB Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: “WSB”), the parent company of Washington Savings Bank, F.S.B. (the “Bank”), today announced results of operations for both its third quarter and the nine month period ending September 30, 2011. WSB reports net earnings of $410,000, or $0.05 per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to net loss of $2.1 million, or $(0.26) per basic and diluted share, for the comparable period of the prior year. WSB reports net earnings for the nine month period ending September 30, 2011 of $966,000, or $0.12 per basic and diluted share, compared to net loss of $4.2 million, or $(0.54) per basic and diluted share, for the nine month period ending September 30, 2010. The increase in net earnings for the three month period is primarily the result of the $3.2 million increase in non-interest income, our allocating $100,000 to the allowance for loan losses as compared to $950,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2010, and the $265,000 decrease in non-interest expenses as compared to the same period last year. The increase in net earnings for the nine month period is primarily the result of our allocating $200,000 to the allowance for loan losses as compared to $3.4 million for the nine months ending September 30, 2010, the $3.2 million increase in non-interest income and the $2.6 million decrease in non-interest expenses compared in the prior year period. The increase in non-interest income for the three and nine month periods is attributable to the $2.9 million other than temporary charge recognized during the third quarter of 2010, for which there was no comparable charge this year. Also, non-interest expenses decreased during the three and nine month periods ending September 30, 2011 primarily as a result of the $2.0 million one-time debt pre-payment penalty that we recognized during the second quarter of 2010, for which there was no comparable expense this year.
We are pleased to report positive earnings for the fourth consecutive quarter. This has been accomplished through the Bank’s management stressing the reduction of high cost liabilities and the reduction of troubled debt. These efforts have allowed the Bank to maintain profitable quarters despite the increasing pressure on Bank margins caused by the Federal Reserve policies and the significant slowdown in loan demand caused by the stresses in the economy. Over the past three quarters the Bank has seen a decrease in troubled debt of 40%. Also, interest expense decreased by 22% and 31%, respectively, for the three and nine months ending September 30, 2011.
With these results the Bank has increased its Core Capital ratio to 11.64%, which remains well in excess of the regulatory levels for being “well capitalized,” and we continue to look for profitable opportunities in this market to grow the Bank.
