News Release
SECURITY FEDERAL CORPORATION ANNOUNCES EARNINGS INCREASE
FOR THE QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2013
Aiken, South Carolina (April 22, 2013) - Security Federal Corporation (“Company”) (OTCBB:SFDL), the holding company for Security Federal Bank (“Bank”), today announced results for the first quarter of its fiscal year ending December 31, 2013. The Company reported net income available to common shareholders of $561,000 or $0.19 per common share (basic) for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, an increase of $241,000 or 75.3% compared to net income available to common shareholders of $320,000 or $0.11 per common share (basic) for the quarter ended March 31, 2012. The increase in earnings for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 is primarily a result of a decrease of $805,000 in the provision for loan losses offset slightly by a decrease of $548,000 in net interest income.
Non-performing assets, which consist of non-accrual loans and repossessed assets decreased $3.9 million or 15.5% to $21.2 million at March 31, 2013 from $25.2 million at December 31, 2012 and decreased $15.6 million from $36.8 million at March 31, 2012. Consistent with the decrease in non-performing assets, the provision for loan losses decreased $805,000 or 41.3% to $1.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 compared to $2.0 million for the same quarter in the previous year. Management closely monitors the loan portfolio on an ongoing basis to proactively identify any potential problem loans. The allowance for loan losses represented 2.83% of total loans held for investment at March 31, 2013 and 2.80% of total loans held for investment at December 31, 2012.
For the three months ended March 31, 2013, net interest margin decreased 14 basis points to 2.79% from 2.93% for the same quarter in 2012. As a result, net interest income decreased $548,000 or 8.9% to $5.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $6.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012.
Non-interest income increased $331,000 or 20.5% to $1.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 from $1.6 million for the comparable quarter in 2012 primarily due to an increase in income related to an award the Bank received in recognition of its commitment to community development. During the quarter ended March 31, 2013, the Company recognized $416,000 in grant income in connection with this reward. The Company did not recognize any grant income during the quarter ended March 31, 2012.
Non-interest expense increased $388,000 or 7.6% to $5.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 from $5.1 million for the comparable quarter in 2012. The increase was primarily the result of a prepayment penalty of $153,000 the Company incurred for paying down Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances during the three months ended March 31, 2013. As part of the Company’s strategy, management elected to replace some higher rate advances with lower rate callable certificates of deposit.
Total assets at March 31, 2013 were $875.7 million compared to $890.4 million at December 31, 2012, a decrease of $14.6 million or 1.6% for the three month period. Net loans receivable, net decreased $14.7 million or 3.7% to $383.0 million at March 31, 2013 from $397.7 million at December 31, 2012 due to decreased loan demand. Total deposits decreased $1.8 million or 0.3% to $674.5 million at March 31, 2013 compared to $676.3 million at December 31, 2012. FHLB advances, other borrowings, convertible senior debentures and subordinated debentures decreased $12.0 million or 9.5% to $113.8 million at March 31, 2013 from $125.8 million at December 31, 2012.
