WSB Holdings, Inc. Announces Third Quarter Results
BOWIE, MD – October 19, 2012 - 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, 2012. WSB reports a net loss of $4,000 or ($0.00) per basic and diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2012, compared to net earnings of $410,000 or $0.05 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, 2012 of $448,000, or $0.06 per basic and diluted share, compared to net earnings of $966,000, or $0.12 per basic and diluted share, for the nine month period ending September 30, 2011.
Net interest income decreased $462,000, or 15%, and $901,000, or 10%, for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the same periods last year. As we continue to experience low loan demand, there has been a decrease in our loans held-for-investment portfolio which has contributed to our interest income decreasing by 16% and 13%, respectively, for the three and nine months ending September 30, 2012. This decrease was partially offset by decreases in our interest expense of 20% for both the three and nine months ending September 30, 2012. This decrease in interest expense is the result of continued efforts to reduce our higher cost liabilities. Non-interest income decreased $232,000, or 23%, and $288,000, or 10%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the same periods last year. This decrease is the result of our loss on our sale of mortgage-backed and investment securities.
On September 10, 2012, we announced the execution of a definitive merger agreement that provides for the acquisition of WSB Holdings, Inc. by Old Line Bancshares, Inc. for approximately $49 million, or approximately $6.12 per share, in cash and stock, subject to adjustment including adjustments relating to the value of our investment portfolio (the “total consideration”). In accordance with the merger agreement, WSB is repositioning a portion of the investment portfolio by selling existing securities and purchasing new securities with Old Line Bancshares’ consent. Such sales and repurchases resulted in a loss of $288,000 pretax, $174,000, net of tax, during the three months ending September 30, 2012, resulting, along with the decrease in interest income, in a net loss for the third quarter. Such further repositioning subsequent to September 30, 2012 did, however, result in a gain of approximately $628,000 pretax, $380,000 net of tax since September 30, 2012 We expect to continue to reposition the investment portfolio in order to attempt to minimize any potential adjustment to the total consideration upon closing of the merger.
Non-interest expenses increased by $211,500, or 6%, for the three month period ending September 30, 2012 as compared to the same period last year as a result of an increase in the provision for losses on real estate acquired in settlement of loans, salaries and benefits and additional professional fees associated with the pending merger. Non-interest expense decreased $107,000, or 1%, for the nine month period as a result of lower FDIC premiums compared to the same nine month period last year.
The Bank remains well in excess of the regulatory levels for being “well capitalized” and continues to look for profitable opportunities in this market to grow the Bank.

Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assessments of potential developments affecting market conditions, interest rates and other economic conditions, and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from future results expressed or implied by forward-looking the statements made in this release. Such potential risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, changes in market conditions, particularly interest rates, that negatively impact our ability to sell or purchase securities in a manner that will have the intended effect of reducing downward adjustments to the total consideration and the potential that Old Line Bancshares will not consent to our proposed securities purchases and sales.
