Severn Bancorp Announces First Quarter Earnings

Annapolis, MD (April 16, 2013) – Severn Bancorp, Inc., (Nasdaq: SVBI) parent company of Severn Savings Bank, FSB (“Severn”), today announced net income of $621,000 or $.03 per share for the first quarter of 2013, a slight increase of  $44,000, or 7.6%  compared to net income of  $577,000, or $.02 per share for the first quarter of 2012.  Earnings per share is calculated using net income available for common shareholders, which is net income less preferred stock dividends.

“The profit posted in the first quarter was a modest one,” stated Alan J. Hyatt, president and chief executive officer.  Mr. Hyatt continued, “Severn continues to work through real estate loans that became troubled.  It is a slow process.  We are confident that the bank is on the right path to improved future earnings, but the effort will continue to take time.  Severn is up to the challenge and intends to provide outstanding community banking services in a market with a diminishing number of community banks.”
