THE BANK OF KENTUCKY FINANCIAL CORPORATION

ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER EARNINGS

 

Net income available to common shareholders up 25% for the second quarter

 

CRESTVIEW HILLS, KENTUCKY, July 19, 2012 – The Bank of Kentucky Financial Corporation (the “Company”) (NASDAQ: BKYF), the holding company of The Bank of Kentucky, Inc. (the “Bank”), today reported its earnings for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2012. For the second quarter, the Company reported an increase in diluted earnings per common share of 26% from the same period in 2011.

A summary of the Company’s results follows:

 

Second Quarter ended June 30,  2012   2011   Change 
Net income  $4,424,000   $3,794,000    17%
Net income available to common shareholders  $4,424,000   $3,535,000    25%
Earnings per common share, basic  $0.59   $0.48    23%
Earnings per common share, diluted  $0.59   $0.47    26%

 

Six Months ended June 30,  2012   2011   Change 
Net income  $8,939,000   $7,306,000    22%
Net income available to common shareholders  $8,939,000   $6,790,000    32%
Net income per common share, basic  $1.20   0 .91    32%
Net income per common share, diluted  $1.19   0 .91    31%

 

Robert Zapp, President & CEO stated, “We continue to execute our strategy as evidenced by the Company’s financial results for the quarter. Positive momentum within our lending lines of business contributed to the Bank’s organic loan growth of $14 million in the second quarter, which was the highest quarterly loan growth experienced over the last three years. Mortgage revenue remained strong and problem assets declined, which were key drivers of our success in the second quarter. We have invested in the resources and technology for continued growth, and I believe that the Bank is well positioned going forward.”

Driving the increase in earnings available to common shareholders in the second quarter of 2012 was a $1,300,000 (43%) decrease in the provision for loan losses and a $259,000 (100%) decrease in preferred stock dividends and amortization as compared to the second quarter of 2011. Also contributing to increased earnings was a 2% increase in total revenue (net interest income and non interest income), which was offset with an 8% increase in noninterest expense. The decrease in the provision for loan losses reflected improving credit metrics as compared to June of 2011, while the reduction of preferred stock dividends and amortization reflects the November 2011 repurchase of the final $17 million of the Company’s Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), previously issued to the U.S. Department of the Treasury as part of the TARP CPP program.

 

 
 

 

Net interest income increased $20,000 in the second quarter of 2012, as compared to the same period in 2011. The net interest margin, on a tax equivalent basis, decreased 19 basis points from 3.84% in the second quarter of 2011 to 3.65% in the second quarter of 2012. Contributing to the decrease in the net interest margin was the mix of the growth in earning assets. Of the $86 million growth in average earning assets from the second quarter of 2011 to second quarter of 2012, $69 million or 80% of the growth was attributed to the Bank’s securities portfolio and fed funds sold, which generally have lower yields than loans.

The provision for loan losses decreased by $1,300,000 (43%) in the second quarter of 2012, as compared to the same period in 2011. Contributing to this decrease were lower non-performing loans and charge-offs ratios as compared to June 2011. The Company’s non-performing loans as a percentage of total loans were 1.44% as of June 30, 2012, as compared to 1.46% as of June 30, 2011, while annualized net charge-offs to average loans decreased from 1.03% in the second quarter of 2011 to 0.61% in the second quarter of 2012. The Company recorded $1,716,000 in net charge-offs in the second quarter of 2012 as compared to $2,871,000 in the second quarter of 2011. On a sequential basis, the provision for loan losses of $1,700,000 in the second quarter of 2012 was $100,000 lower than the provision in the first quarter of 2012, while non-performing loans decreased from $17.5 million (1.54% of total loans) at March 31, 2012 to $16.5 million (1.44% of total loans) at June 30, 2012. Net charge-offs on a sequential basis decreased from $1,726,000 (0.62% of loans) in the first quarter of 2012 to $1,716,000 (0.61% of loans) in the second quarter of 2012. The allowance for loan losses (ALL) as of June 30, 2012 decreased $16,000 from March 2012. The ALL has decreased from 1.62% of loans at the end of the first quarter of 2012 to 1.60% of loans at the end of the second quarter of 2012. The adequacy of the ALL is analyzed quarterly and adjusted as necessary to maintain appropriate reserves for probable incurred losses in the Bank’s loan portfolio.

The Company’s non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets were 1.32% as of June 30, 2012, as compared to 1.15% as of June 30, 2011. Non-performing loans increased $38,000 from June 2011 to June 2012 and other real estate owned increased $4,048,000 in the same time period. On a sequential quarterly basis, other real estate owned decreased $378,000 from March 2012. The increase in other real estate owned from June of 2011 was primarily the result of one commercial real estate relationship which added $3,475,000 in other real estate owned in the fourth quarter of 2011. These properties are recorded at their fair value less estimated costs to sell with the difference between this value and the loan balance being recorded as a charge-off.

Non-interest income increased 8% ($379,000) in the second quarter of 2012, as compared to the same period in 2011, while non-interest expense increased 8% ($892,000) from the same period last year. Contributing to the increase in non-interest income was a $361,000 or a 158% increase in the gains on sale of real estate loans. These gains were driven by a drop in interest rates from the second quarter of 2011, which has prompted increased demand for home mortgage loan refinancing. Contributing to the increase in non-interest expense was a $679,000 (13%) increase in salaries and benefits expense. The increase in salaries and benefits included $134,000 in higher bonus accruals and $122,000 in higher commission expense. The added bonus accrual reflects the end of the TARP restriction on bonus pay for executives, while the increased commission expense included higher commissions paid based on higher real estate loan originations.

Total assets were $1.704 billion at the end of the second quarter of 2012, which was $102 million or 6% higher than the same date a year ago. Total loans increased $15 million (1%), investments in securities increased $56 million (18%) and cash and cash equivalents increased $6 million (9%) from June of 2011. The balance sheet increases were funded by an increase in deposits of $100 million, or 7%. Total equity decreased $1.9 million from the same date in 2011 as a result of the repurchase of the Series A Preferred Stock.
