THE BANK OF KENTUCKY FINANCIAL CORPORATION

ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER EARNINGS

 

CRESTVIEW HILLS, KENTUCKY, July 18, 2013 – 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 ended June 30, 2013. For the second quarter, the Company reported an increase in net income of 1% as compared to the same period in 2012.

 

A summary of the Company’s results follows:

 

Second Quarter ended June 30,  2013   2012   Change 
Net income  $4,485,000   $4,424,000    1%
Earnings per common share, basic  $0.60   $0.59    2%
Earnings per common share, diluted  $0.59   $0.59    0%

 

Six Months ended June 30,  2013   2012   Change 
Net income  $8,575,000   $8,939,000    (4)%
Net income per common share, basic  $1.15    $ 1. 20    (4)%
Net income per common share, diluted  $1.13    $ 1 .19    (5)%

 

Robert W. Zapp, President & CEO, commented on the financial results: “Our second quarter finished strong as we maintained forward progress in our core businesses, even as we continue to experience margin compression and a sluggish economic recovery that has kept loan growth to a minimum. However, I am encouraged to see increased activity with respect to small business and corporate borrowing and I anticipate this trend to remain positive along with improved credit metrics.” Zapp added, “We continue to deepen client relationships by cross-selling investments, mortgage loans, treasury management and card products. Revenue in these areas experienced double-digit growth in the second quarter compared to 2012, contributing to our increase in earnings. In addition, we continue to improve and modify our approach to retail banking, internet banking, mobile banking and how we serve our customers. As a result, we experienced an increase in overall service charge revenue, have become more efficient, and continue to invest in new technologies, maintaining our high level of customer service, and addressing the growing regulatory demands all banks are facing today. I am pleased with our second quarter performance as we look to build on this momentum for the second half of the year.”

 

Driving the increase in net income in the second quarter of 2013 was a $487,000 (9%) increase in non-interest income, which offset a $339,000 (2%) decrease in net interest income as compared to the second quarter of 2012. Contributing to the increase in non-interest income were service charges on deposits, gains on the sale of real estate loans, trust fee income and bankcard revenue. The decrease in net interest income was the result of the compression on the net interest margin. The compression of the net interest margin is the result of the historically low interest rate environment, where the cost of funds are close to a floor and the yield on earning assets still has room to decline.

 

Non-interest income increased 9% ($487,000) in the second quarter of 2013, as compared to the same period in 2012, while non-interest expense increased 1% ($138,000) from the same period last year. Contributing to the increase in non-interest income was a $340,000 or 15% increase in service charges on deposits, a $156,000 or 22% increase in trust fee income, a $92,000 or 10% increase in bankcard transaction revenue and a $83,000 or 14% increase in gains on the sale of real estate loans which were offset by $268,000 higher losses on other real estate owned. Contributing to the increase in non-interest expense was $264,000 or 5% increase in the salaries and benefits expense.

 

 
 

 

Net interest income decreased $339,000, or 2% in the second quarter of 2013, as compared to the same period in 2012. The net interest margin, on a tax equivalent basis, decreased 19 basis points from 3.65% in the second quarter of 2012 to 3.46% in the second quarter of 2013. As discussed above, the decrease in the net interest income and the compression of the net interest margin was the result of the yield on earning assets falling faster than the cost of interest bearing liabilities. The yield on earning assets decreased 31 basis points from 4.06% in the second quarter of 2012 to 3.75% in the second quarter of 2013, while the cost of interest bearing liabilities only decreased 15 basis points from .51% to .36% in the same period. The decrease in the interest margin was partially offset with an increase in earning assets of $42 million, or 3% on average from the second quarter of 2012. On a tax equivalent basis, the effect of the reduction in the net interest income as a result of rate was a negative $1,101,000, which was partially offset by an $748,000 positive effect on net interest income as a result of the growth in earning assets.

 

The provision for loan losses decreased by $100,000 (6%) in the second quarter of 2013, as compared to the same period in 2012. Contributing to this decrease were lower levels of charge-offs as compared to the second quarter of 2012. The Company’s annualized net charge-offs to average loans decreased from .61% in the second quarter of 2012 to .54% in the second quarter of 2013 while non-performing loans as a percentage of total loans were 1.60% as of June 30, 2013, as compared to 1.44% as of June 30, 2012. The Company recorded $1,591,000 in net charge-offs in the second quarter of 2013 as compared to $1,716,000 in the second quarter of 2012. On a sequential basis, the provision for loan losses of $1,600,000 in the second quarter of 2013 was $400,000 lower than the provision in the first quarter of 2013, while non-performing loans decreased from $21.8 million (1.84% of total loans) at March 31, 2013 to $18.9 million (1.60% of total loans) at June 30, 2013. Net charge-offs on a sequential basis decreased from $1,927,000 (.66% of loans) in the first quarter of 2013 to $1,591,000 (.54% of loans) in the second quarter of 2013. The majority of the loans charged off in the first quarter of 2013 were reserved for in prior quarters. The reserve for impaired loans was $4,361,000 at June 30, 2013, which was $3,155,000 lower than the $7,516,000 reserve at June 30, 2012. As a result of the lower impaired loan reserves and lower levels of adversely classified loans, the Allowance for Loan Losses (ALL) has decreased from 1.60% of loans at the end of the second quarter of 2012 to 1.40% of loans at the end of the second quarter of 2013. On a sequential basis the ALL was 1.40% at the end of both the first and second quarter of 2013. 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 1.38% as of June 30, 2013, as compared to 1.32% as of June 30, 2012. While non-performing loans increased $2,485,000 from June 2012 to June 2013, other real estate owned decreased $743,000 in the same time period. These properties are recorded at their estimated net realizable value with the difference between this value and the loan balance being recorded as a charge-off at the time of foreclosure.

 

Total assets were $1.766 billion at the end of the second quarter of 2013, which was $62 million or 4% higher than the same date a year ago. Total loans increased $42 million (4%) and were funded by an increase in deposits of $50 million, or 3%. Total equity increased $5.8 million from the same date in 2012. In September 2012, the Company’s Board of Directors voted to change from a semi-annual cash dividend to a quarterly cash dividend, commencing with the fourth quarter of 2012. This resulted in cash dividends declared increasing from $.00 in the second quarter of 2012 to $.17 in the same period of 2013. On a year to date basis, cash dividends increased from $.30 in 2012 to $.34 in 2013.
