MALVERN FEDERAL BANCORP, INC. ANNOUNCES RESULTS FOR THE SECOND QUARTER OF FISCAL 2012
Paoli, Pennsylvania – Malvern Federal Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ: MLVF), the “mid-tier” holding company for Malvern Federal Savings Bank (the “Bank”), today announced net income for the three months ended March 31, 2012 of $219,000 compared to a net loss of $4.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. On a per share basis, the Company is reporting net income of $0.04 per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, compared to a net loss of $0.80 per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2011. Additionally, the Company reported a net income of $1.5 million, or $0.25 per share, for the six months ended March 31, 2012 compared to net loss of $5.4 million, or $0.92 per share, for the six months ended March 31, 2011.
The provision for loan losses was $325,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 compared to $8.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2011. For the six months ended March 31, 2012, the provision for loan losses was $25,000 compared to $10.0 million for the six months ended March 31, 2011. The $10.0 million difference in the provision for loan losses for the six months ended March 31, 2012 was due to a $5.8 million, or 74.3%, decrease in net charge-offs during the first six month in fiscal 2012 compared to first six months of fiscal 2011, as well as an overall improvement in the trend in our level of problem assets. Our net charge-offs to the allowance for loan losses for the three and six months ended March 31, 2012 amounted to $1.3 million and $2.1 million, respectively. At March 31, 2012, the Company’s total non-performing assets and performing troubled debt restructurings totaled $24.8 million compared to $31.6 million at September 30, 2011, an improvement of 21.5%. As of March 31, 2012, the balance of the allowance for loan losses was $8.1 million, or 68.9% of non-accruing loans, compared to an allowance for loan losses of $10.4 million or 64.5% of non-accruing loans at March 31, 2011.
At March 31, 2012, the Company’s total non-accrual loans amounted to $11.7 million. Total non-accruing loans increased by $1.3 million on a linked quarter basis due primarily to one commercial real estate loan with a carrying value of $1.3 million being placed on non-accrual as of March 31, 2012. However, the collateral securing this loan is under agreement of sale with the proceeds from the sale expected to repay this loan in full. Settlement on the sale of the collateral property is expected during the June 2012 quarter.
The Company’s net interest income for the three and six months ended March 31, 2012 was $4.4 million and $8.9 million, respectively, a decrease of $553,000 and $765,000, respectively compared to the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2011. The Company's net interest rate spread of 2.72% and net interest margin of 2.83% for the three months ended March 31, 2012 decreased when compared to a net interest rate spread of 2.95% and a net interest margin of 3.07% for the second quarter of fiscal 2011. Similarly, the Company's net interest rate spread of 2.78% and net interest margin of 2.90% for the first six months of fiscal 2012 decreased when compared to a net interest rate spread of 2.89% and a net interest margin of 3.00% for the first six months of fiscal 2011.
The Company’s interest and dividend income decreased by $944,000 in the three month period ended March 31, 2012 compared to the three month period ended March 31, 2011. Interest income decreased in the three months ended March 31, 2012 from the prior comparable period in fiscal 2011 due primarily to a decline in the average balance of loans receivable and lower average yields earned on loans in the fiscal 2012 quarter. During the second quarter of fiscal 2012 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2011, the average yield on the Company’s loan portfolio decreased by 23 basis points to 5.02% from 5.25%. The average balance of loans receivable decreased by $54.6 million, or 10.2%, in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2011, due primarily to a decline in overall loan demand, as well as the lending restrictions imposed under the Supervisory Agreement that the Bank entered into with the Office of Thrift Supervision in October 2010. The average yield on investment securities increased slightly to 2.02% for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from 1.96% for the same period in fiscal 2011, and the average balance of our investment securities increased by $5.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the prior fiscal year period.
The Company’s interest and dividend income decreased by $1.8 million in the six month period ended March 31, 2012 compared to the six month period ended March 31, 2011. Interest income decreased in the six months ended March 31, 2012 from the prior comparable period in fiscal 2011 due again primarily to a decline in the average balance of loans receivable and lower average yields on loans in the fiscal 2012 period. During the first half of fiscal 2012 compared to the first half of fiscal 2011, the average yield on the Company’s loan portfolio decreased by 23 basis points to 5.10% from 5.33%. The average balance of loans receivable decreased by $50.4 million, or 9.4%, in the first six months of fiscal 2012 compared to the first six months of fiscal 2011, due primarily to a decline in overall loan demand, as well as the securitization and sale of approximately $10.7 million of fixed-rate first mortgage loans during the first quarter of fiscal year 2012. The average yield on investment securities increased to 2.04% for the six months ended March 31, 2012 from 1.95% for the same period in fiscal 2011, and the average balance of our investment securities increased by $9.4 million during the six months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the prior fiscal year period.
The Company’s interest expense for the three month period ended March 31, 2012 was $2.1 million, a decrease of $391,000 from the three month period ended March 31, 2011. There was a $392,000 decrease in interest expense on deposits and an $1,000 increase in interest on FHLB borrowings during the second quarter of fiscal 2012 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2011. The average balance of deposit accounts decreased by $24.2 million, or 4.5%, in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2011, due primarily to $23.6 million decrease in higher costing certificates of deposit. The average rate paid on deposits decreased to 1.30% for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 from 1.53% for the second quarter of fiscal 2011. The average rate paid on borrowed funds increased to 3.51% in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 compared to 3.44% in the second quarter of fiscal 2011.
The Company’s interest expense for the six month period ended March 31, 2012 was $4.4 million, a decrease of $1.0 million from the six month period ended March 31, 2011. There was a $990,000 decrease in interest expense on deposits and a $17,000 decrease in interest on FHLB borrowings during the first six months of fiscal 2012 compared to the first six months of fiscal 2011. The average balance of deposit accounts decreased by $28.4 million, or 5.1%, in the first six months of fiscal 2012 compared to the first six months of fiscal 2011, due primarily to $31.8 million decrease in higher costing certificates of deposit. The average rate paid on deposits decreased to 1.34% for the first six months of fiscal 2012 from 1.64% for the first six months of fiscal 2011. The average rate paid on borrowed funds increased to 3.52% in the first six months of fiscal 2012 compared to 3.49% in the first six months of fiscal 2011.
The Company's other, or non-interest, income increased by $448,000 to $898,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from the comparable prior year period. The increase in other income during the second quarter of fiscal 2012 was due in part to a $168,000 gain recorded on the sale of investment securities. In addition, primarily as a result of certain commercial properties being acquired as other real estate owned (“REO”) during fiscal year 2011, and which we have rented to tenants, our other income included a $329,000 increase in REO rental income in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2011.
The Company's other, or non-interest, income increased by $997,000 to $1.9 million for the six months ended March 31, 2012 from the comparable prior year period. The increase in other income during the first six months of fiscal 2012 was due primarily to gains in the amount of $623,000 recorded on the securitization and sale of $10.7 million of long-term fixed-rate residential mortgage loans and the sale of $4.8 million of investment securities. In addition, there was an increase in REO rental income in the amount of $399,000 during the six months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the six months ended March 31, 2011.
Other, or non-interest, expense of the Company increased by $228,000 in the second quarter ended March 31, 2012 over the comparable prior fiscal year period. The increase in other operating expenses in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2011 was due primarily to an $184,000 increase in other real estate owned expense and an $81,000 increase in salaries and employee benefits. These increases were partially offset by a $99,000 decrease in federal deposit insurance premiums in the quarter ended March 31, 2012 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2011. For the second quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company had an income tax expense of $28,000 compared to an income tax benefit of $2.5 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2011. The increased income tax expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 was primarily due to a $7.5 million increase in pre-tax net income during the quarter ended March 31, 2012 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2011.
Other, or non-interest, expense of the Company decreased by $231,000 in the six months ended March 31, 2012 over the comparable prior fiscal year period. The decrease in other operating expenses in the first six months of fiscal 2012 compared to the first six months of fiscal 2011 was due primarily to a $220,000 decrease in other real estate owned expense and a $250,000 decrease in federal deposit insurance premiums, due to a lower deposit base in the fiscal 2012 period. These decreases were partially offset by a $155,000 increase in salaries and employee benefits and a $70,000 increase in professional fees in the six months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the six months ended March 31, 2011. For the first six months of fiscal 2012, the Company had an income tax expense of $588,000 compared to an income tax benefit of $3.0 million for the first six months of fiscal 2011. The increased income tax expense for the six months ended March 31, 2012 was primarily due to a $10.5 million increase in pre-tax net income during the six months of fiscal 2012.
The Company’s total assets amounted to $651.6 million at March 31, 2012 compared to $666.6 million at September 30, 2011. The primary reason for the $15.0 million decrease in assets during the first six months of fiscal 2012 was a $39.0 million decrease in net loans receivable, a $3.6 million decrease in REO, a $535,000 decrease in deferred taxes and a $522,000 decrease in restricted stock at March 31, 2012 compared to September 30, 2011. Partially offsetting such decreases was an increase in cash and cash equivalents in the amount of $25.1 million and a $4.2 million increase in investment securities. The $3.6 million decrease in REO at March 31, 2012 compared to September 30, 2011, was primarily due to $3.8 million in net sales of REO properties and $472,000 in reductions to collateral fair values, which are reflected as REO expense during the first six months of fiscal 2012. The Company’s total REO amounted to $4.7 million at March 31, 2012 compared to $8.3 million at September 30, 2011.
2
Total deposits decreased $17.4 million to $537.0 million at March 31, 2012 compared to September 30, 2011. Total FHLB advances decreased by $505,000 to $48.6 million compared to $49.1 million at September 30, 2011.
Shareholders’ equity increased by $1.6 million to $61.9 million at March 31, 2012 compared to $60.3 million at September 30, 2011 due primarily to an increase in retained earnings. Net income during the first six months of fiscal 2012 in the amount of $1.5 million increased retained earnings to $38.1 million at March 31, 2012 compared to the $36.6 million at September 30, 2011.
