Southwest Georgia Financial Corporation Reports First Quarter Results

MOULTRIE, GEORGIA, April 23, 2013 -- Southwest Georgia Financial Corporation (the “Corporation”) (NYSE MKT: SGB), a full-service community bank holding company, today reported its results of operations for the first quarter ended March 31, 2013.

First Quarter Income Highlights

·Net income was $566 thousand in the 2013 first quarter, or $0.22 per diluted share, compared with $571 thousand, or $0.22 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2012.
·Net interest income grew 8.1% to $3.1 million compared with the first quarter last year due primarily to increased interest and fee income on loans. The Corporation has been able to maintain net interest income in spite of lower margins.
·Noninterest income decreased $263 thousand to $1.2 million for the first quarter of 2013 driven by a $306 thousand decrease in income from our commercial mortgage banking subsidiary, Empire Financial Services.
·Noninterest expense grew 2.2% to $3.5 million due primarily to increased employee payroll tax and benefit expenses.

Balance Sheet Trends and Asset Quality

·Total assets at March 31, 2013 were $366.1 million, an increase of 14.8%, or $47.3 million, from March 31, 2012.
·Year-over-year asset growth was driven by increases in noninterest-bearing demand deposits, which increased $15.0 million, or 26.1%, as well as low interest-bearing transaction accounts and money market deposit accounts, which increased $35.5 million, or 41.1%.
·Growth in funding of $48.9 million was employed in a $23.5 million increase in loans, a $12.1 million increase in interest-bearing balances in banks, and a $13.2 million increase in investment securities and certificates of deposit in other banks.

DeWitt Drew, President and CEO commented, “We are encouraged by our extraordinary growth in low cost funding and in our earnings level, even with decreased mortgage banking income. We expect that commercial mortgage servicing income will be low in 2013 due to Empire’s loan servicing portfolio decreasing from $700 million at its peak to less than $200 million. We also know that nearly one-third of our deposit growth is in public money that will not be permanent.”

Dividends

In March 2013, the Corporation paid a first quarter cash dividend of $0.04 per common share. Southwest Georgia Financial Corporation or its predecessor, Southwest Georgia Bank, has paid cash dividends for 85 consecutive years.
