Cheviot Financial Corp. Reports Second-Quarter Earnings
CINCINNATI, Ohio – July 31, 2013 – Cheviot Financial Corp. (NASDAQ: CHEV), the parent company of Cheviot Savings Bank, today reported net earnings of $265,000, or $0.04 per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, compared to net earnings of $1.2 million, or $0.16 per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2012. Net earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $1.1 million, or $0.15 per share, compared to $2.1 million, or $0.28 per share for the six months ended June 30, 2012.
For the three months ended June 30, 2013:
Net earnings for the three months ended June 30, 2013 totaled $265,000, a $943,000 decrease from the $1.2 million earnings reported in the June 2012 period. The decrease in net earnings reflects a decrease in other income of $637,000, a decrease of $272,000 in net interest income, an increase of $35,000 in the provision for losses on loans and an increase in general, administrative and other expenses of $253,000, which were partially offset by a decrease of $254,000 in the provision for federal income taxes.
Total interest income decreased $612,000, or 11.2%, to $4.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, from the comparable quarter in 2012. Interest income on loans decreased $643,000, or 14.0%, to $3.9 million during the 2013 quarter from $4.6 million for the 2012 quarter. This decrease was due primarily to a $32.7 million, or 8.9%, decrease in the average balance of loans outstanding and by a 28 basis point decrease in the average yield on loans to 4.73% for the 2013 quarter from 5.01% for the three months ended June 30, 2012. Interest income on mortgage-backed securities decreased $9,000, or 18.0%, to $41,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013, from $50,000
for the comparable 2012 quarter, due primarily to a $2.1 million, or 19.0% decrease in the average balance of securities outstanding, which was partially offset by a 2 basis point increase in the average yield. Interest income on investment securities increased $33,000, or 4.4%, to $777,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013, compared to $744,000 for the same quarter in 2012, due primarily to an increase of $18.2 million, or 11.5% in the average balance of investment securities outstanding, which was partially offset by a 12 basis point decrease in the average yield to 1.76% in the 2013 quarter. Interest income on other interest-earning deposits increased $7,000, or 7.7% to $98,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013.
Interest expense decreased $340,000, or 23.6% to $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, from $1.4 million for the same quarter in 2012. Interest expense on deposits decreased by $287,000, or 23.8%, to $920,000, from $1.2 million, due primarily to a 21 basis point decrease in the average costs of deposits to 0.76% and a $16.6 million, or 3.3% decrease in the average balance of deposits outstanding. The decrease in the average cost of deposits is due to the overall changes in the deposit composition and lower market rates for the period. Interest expense on borrowings decreased by $53,000, or 22.5%, due primarily to a $6.0 million decrease in the average balance
outstanding and due to a 5 basis point decrease in the average cost of borrowings.
As a result of the foregoing changes in interest income and interest expense, net interest income decreased by $272,000, or 6.8%, to $3.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to the same quarter in 2012. The average interest rate spread decreased to 2.82% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 from 2.90% for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The net interest margin decreased to 2.86% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 from 2.94% for the three months ended June 30, 2012.
For the three months ended June 30, 2013, the company recorded a provision for losses on loans of $285,000, as compared to $250,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012. At June 30, 2013 non-performing loans as a percent of net loans decreased to 2.9% from 3.9% at June 30, 2012. This decrease is a result of the overall decrease in non-performing loans of $4.4 million from period to period.
Other income decreased $637,000, or 54.0%, to $542,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013, compared to the same quarter in 2012, due primarily to the absence during the 2013 period of a gain on death benefits from life insurance of $481,000 and the increase in the loss on sale of office premises and equipment of $255,000. During the quarter ended June 30, 2013, the Company sold the former Franklin Savings headquarters.
General, administrative and other expense increased $253,000, or 7.3%, to $3.7 million for of the three months ended June 30, 2013. This increase is a result of an increase in employee compensation and benefits of $144,000 and an increase in other operating expense of $61,000.

Interest income on mortgage-backed securities decreased $28,000, or 25.5%, to $82,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013, from $110,000 for the 2012 period, due primarily to a 17 basis point

Interest expense on borrowings decreased by $112,000, or 22.9%, due primarily to a $6.4 million, or 21.9%, decrease in the average balance outstanding and a 5 basis point decrease in the average cost of borrowings.

Other income decreased $665,000, or 30.9%, to $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to the same period in 2012, due primarily to an increase of $255,000 in the loss on sale of office premises and equipment, a decrease in the gain on sale of loans of $127,000 and the absence during the 2013 period of a gain on death benefits from life insurance of $481,000.

The increase is a result of an increase of $169,000 in employee compensation and benefits, an increase of $88,000 in real estate owned loss expense and an increase of $98,000 in legal and professional expense. The increase in compensation expense is due to an increase in the number of employees, salary increases and resulting benefits. The increase in real estate owned loss expense is a result of the impairment of five properties acquired through foreclosure based on updated appraised
values. The increase in legal and professional expense is due to fees paid to resolve delinquent loans and foreclosure properties.
The provision for federal income taxes decreased $310,000, or 44.5%, for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was 26.8%.

At June 30, 2013, total assets were $598.3 million, compared with $632.0 million at December 31, 2012. Total assets decreased $33.7 million, or 5.3%, primarily due to the decrease in investment securities of $31.5 million and a decrease in loans receivable of $6.4 million. The decrease in investment securities was a result of maturities of $106.2 million and an increase in the unrealized loss on securities designated as available for sale of $8.0 million, which was offset by purchases of investment securities designated as available for sale totaling $80.9 million and purchases of corporate securities of $1.9 million. The decrease in loans receivable resulted from the sale of loans
in the secondary market of $27.8 million and principal repayments of $38.6 million, which was partially offset by loan originations of $61.8 million.
Total liabilities were $504.6 million at June 30, 2013, a decrease of $19.5 million, or 3.7% compared to $524.1 million at December 31, 2012.

Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati decreased by $3.1 million, or 12.8%, to $21.2 million at June 30, 2013, from $24.3 million at December 31, 2012.

Shareholders’ equity at June 30, 2013 was $93.7 million, a decrease $14.2 million, or 13.2%, from December 31, 2012.
