Sound Financial Bancorp, Inc. Earns $994,000 in the Third Quarter of 2013,
Continues Strong Loan Production and Revenue Growth
 
Declares quarterly dividend of $0.05 per share
 
 
Seattle, Wash., October 30, 2013 -- Sound Financial Bancorp, Inc. (Nasdaq: SFBC), the holding company (the "Company") for Sound Community Bank (the "Bank"), today reported net income of $994,000 for the third quarter of 2013, or $0.38 per diluted common share.  By comparison, net income for the third quarter of 2012 was $612,000, or $0.23 per average diluted common share. The increase was primarily a result of a $625,000 decrease in the provision for loan losses, as a result of a significant reduction in nonperforming assets, and higher net interest income.
 
We are pleased to report another strong quarter in terms of revenue as well as continued strength in loan production across numerous asset classes,” said, President and CEO, Laurie Stewart. “We remain focused on delivering a variety of loan offerings including single-family mortgage, multi-family apartments and commercial real estate, as well as small business and consumer loans, to meet the credit needs in our market.”
 
The Company also announced today that its Board of Directors declared a cash dividend on Sound Financial Bancorp common stock of $0.05 per share, payable on November 27, 2013 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on November 13, 2013.

·

Operating Results
 
Net interest income increased by $461,000 or 11.7% to $4.4 million in the third quarter of 2013, compared to $3.9 million in the third quarter a year ago, primarily due to higher average loan balances and lower cost of funds.  Net interest income for the second quarter of 2013 was $4.3 million.
 

 
 

 

The net interest margin was 4.55% for the third quarter of 2013, compared to 4.91% for the third quarter of 2012, and 4.68% for the second quarter of 2013. The decline in the net interest margin in the third quarter of 2013 as compared to a year ago was primarily due to lower loan yields due to the continued low interest rate environment.
 
The provision for loan losses in the third quarter of 2013 was $450,000, compared to $1.1 million for the third quarter a year ago and $450,000 for the second quarter of 2013.  The decline in the third quarter of 2013 as compared to a year ago was primarily due to lower charge-offs and lower average balances of nonperforming loans which was partially offset by higher average loan balances and changes in the asset mix of our loan portfolio. Net charge-offs totaled $464,000 for the third quarter of 2013, compared to net charge-offs of $1.2 million for the third quarter of 2012.
 
Noninterest income decreased by $181,000, or 15.0% to $1.0 million in the third quarter of 2013, compared to $1.2 million in the third quarter a year ago, primarily due to $631,000 decrease in the gain on sale of loans partially offset by a $514,000 improvement in other noninterest income.  Noninterest income for the second quarter of 2013 was $1.4 million.  The gain on sale of loans declined during the third quarter as compared to the prior quarter due to reduced refinancing activity due to an increase in mortgage interest rates. Other noninterest income was favorably impacted by a $271,000 fair value adjustment on mortgage servicing rights primarily due to slower prepayment speeds in our mortgage servicing portfolio during the recent nine month period.
 
Total noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2013 was $3.6 million, up 12.0% compared to $3.2 million for the third quarter of 2012 and down 0.1% compared to $3.6 million for the second quarter of 2013.  The increase in noninterest expense from a year ago was primarily due to increased compensation expenses paid to commission-based employees as a result of increased loan demand and an increase in full time equivalent (FTE) employees from 77.1 as of September 30, 2012 to 85.2 as of September 30, 2013.
 
The efficiency ratio for the third quarter of 2013 was 63.34%, compared to 56.67% for the third quarter of 2012, and 59.74% for the second quarter of 2013.  The increase in the efficiency ratio in the third quarter of 2013 compared to a year ago was primarily due to lower noninterest income and higher salary and benefit expenses associated with the additional FTEs during the current period.
 
Balance Sheet Review, Capital Management and Credit Quality
 
The Company's total assets increased 13.3% to $431.7 million at September 30, 2013, from $381.0 million at December 31, 2012.  This increase was primarily a result of higher loan balances which increased $53.0 million from the end of 2012, primarily due to a $20.9 million increase in one- to four-family residential loans, an $18.3 million increase in construction and land loans, and a $15.1 million increase in commercial and multifamily loans, reflecting the improvement in the housing market and overall economy in the communities we serve.
 
Loans, excluding loans held-for-sale, totaled $379.8 million at September 30, 2013, an increase of 16.2% from $326.7 million at December 31, 2012.  The loan portfolio remains well-diversified with commercial real estate loans accounting for 38.9% of the portfolio, of which 27.9% were owner-occupied. One- to four-family residential loans accounting for 30.5% of the portfolio; home equity, manufactured and other consumer loans accounting for 15.3% of the portfolio; construction and land loans accounting for 11.4% of the portfolio; and commercial and industrial loans accounting for the remaining 3.9% of total loans at September 30, 2013.
 
The weighted average yield on the loan portfolio was 5.43% for the third quarter of 2013, compared to 5.77% for the same period in 2012, and 5.66% for the second quarter of 2013.
 
The investment securities available-for-sale portfolio totaled $16.6 million at September 30, 2013, compared to $22.9 million at December 31, 2012.  At September 30, 2013, the securities available-for-sale portfolio was comprised of $12.2 million agency mortgage-backed securities (all issued by U.S. Government sponsored entities), $2.5 million in private-label mortgage-backed securities and $1.9 million in municipal bonds.
 
Nonperforming assets ("NPAs"), which include non-accrual loans, accruing loans 90 days and more delinquent, and foreclosed assets, totaled $2.9 million, or 0.67% of total assets, at September 30, 2013, compared to $6.9 million, or 1.88% of total assets, a year ago and $6.4 million, or 1.68% of total assets at December 31, 2012.

The decrease in the allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2013, compared to September 30, 2012, was primarily due to improved credit metrics of our loan portfolio, as well as a decrease in net charge-offs.  Net charge-offs totaled $464,000 for the third quarter of 2013, compared to net charge-offs of $1.2 million for the third quarter of 2012, and net charge-offs of $367,000 for the second quarter of 2013.
 
Deposits increased to $341.3 million at September 30, 2013, compared to $312.1 million at December 31, 2012.  Borrowings from the FHLB of Seattle increased to $40.4 million at September 30, 2013, compared to $21.9 million at December 31, 2012.
 
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
 
Reported amounts are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP").  The Company's management believes that the supplemental non-GAAP information, which consists of measurements and ratios based on tangible equity and tangible assets, is utilized by regulators and market analysts to evaluate a company's financial condition and therefore, such information is useful to investors seeking to evaluate the Company without giving effect to goodwill and other intangible assets.  These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for financial results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures which may be presented by other companies.
