LORAIN, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--January 30, 2014--LNB Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: LNBB) (“LNB” or the “Company”) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and the full year ended December 31, 2013. For the fourth quarter 2013, net income was $1.7 million compared to $1.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2012. Net income available to common shareholders was $1.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2013, or $0.16 per common share, compared to $1.3 million, or $0.17 per common share, for the year-ago quarter.

“We are pleased to report another year of improved operating performance,” stated Daniel E. Klimas, president and chief executive officer of LNB Bancorp. “We continue to make progress on improving credit quality. Non-performing assets declined $3.4 million in the fourth quarter and $6.6 million in the year 2013 compared to the same period in 2012. The ratio of non-performing assets to total assets at December 31, 2013, was 1.83%, down from 2.48% at the end of 2012.”

Noninterest income for the year was $12.1 million, up $379,000 compared to 2012. This includes service charges, and the sale of mortgage and commercial loans. “We implemented our focused SBA initiative in the fourth quarter. This initiative resulted in a gain on sale of SBA loans of $531,000 in the fourth quarter of 2013. We are excited about the opportunities that this new sales strategy presents for 2014”, said Klimas.

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $6.2 million, compared with net income of $6.1 million for 2012. Net income available to common shareholders for 2013 was $5.5 million, or $0.61 per common share, compared to $4.8 million for 2012, or $0.61 per common share.


Fourth Quarter Review

Net income for the fourth quarter of 2013 was $1.7 million, up $67,000, or 4%, from the fourth quarter of 2012, primarily as a result of a lower loan loss provision expense and net gains from sale of mortgage and commercial loans.

Operating revenue, including net interest income on a fully tax-equivalent basis ("FTE") plus noninterest income from operations, was $12.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2013, which was $267,000 less than the fourth quarter of the prior year. The net interest margin (FTE) for the fourth quarter of 2013 was 3.20%, a decline of 10 basis points from the 2012 fourth quarter.

Noninterest income was $3.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2013 compared to $3.4 million for the prior-year fourth quarter. Noninterest expense was $9 million for the fourth quarter of 2013 compared with $8.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2012, an increase of 4%.

The provision for loan losses was $1.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2013, down $775,000 from the 2012 fourth quarter, reflecting the Company’s improvement in credit quality. Net charge-offs were $1.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2013, or 0.58% of average loans (annualized), compared to $1.75 million, or 0.79% of average loans (annualized) in the fourth quarter of 2012.

The Company is focused on active capital management and is committed to maintaining strong capital levels while supporting balance sheet growth and enhancing returns to the Company’s shareholders. During the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company issued a notice to redeem all of the outstanding shares of its Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series B (“Series B Preferred Stock”), and on January 17, 2014 completed the repurchase and redemption of the Series B Preferred Stock for an aggregate price of $9,147,000, plus approximately $74,000 of accrued but unpaid dividends. As a result of the repurchase and redemption the Company expects to save approximately $777,500 in dividends that otherwise would have been payable on the Series B Preferred Stock during 2014. The Series B Preferred Stock was originally issued by LNB in December 2008 as part of the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Capital Purchase Program. The Treasury sold all of the Series B Preferred Stock to private investors through a modified Dutch auction that was completed in June 2012.

In connection with the retirement of Series B Preferred Stock, the Company completed the sale of 367,321 newly issued common shares to certain institutional investors, other third-party investors and certain directors of LNB in a private placement in December 2013 for approximately $3.68 million in gross proceeds. LNB retired the Series B Preferred Stock using the proceeds of the private placement along with cash from approximately $3,000,000 in borrowings under a line of credit with an unaffiliated financial institution and from LNB’s accumulated earnings and excess capital.


Full Year 2013 Review

Total assets at December 31, 2013 were $1.23 billion, up $52 million from 2012. Portfolio loans grew $19.8 million to $902 million at December 31, 2013, an increase of 2% from 2012. Total deposits at December 31, 2013 were $1.05 billion compared with $1.0 billion at 2012 year end.

Net interest income on a fully tax-equivalent basis (FTE) for 2013 was $36.2 million compared to $39.1 million for 2012. The net interest margin was 3.19% for 2013 compared to 3.49% for 2012.

Noninterest income for 2013 was $12.1 million, compared to $11.7 million for 2012.

Noninterest expense was $35.2 million in 2013, up slightly from $34.9 million in 2012.

The company continues to aggressively manage credit quality. During 2013, nonperforming assets declined by nearly $6.6 million, or 23%, to $22.6 million. For 2013, nonperforming assets comprised 1.83 % of total assets, compared to 2.48% of total assets, for 2012.

Net charge-offs were $4.5 million for 2013, or 0.51 % of average loans, compared to $6.7 million in 2012, or 0.77% of average loans.

The allowance for loan losses was $17.5 million at December 31, 2013, or 1.94% of total loans, compared to $17.6 million at December 31, 2012, or 2.0% of total loans. For the year 2013, the provision for loan losses was $4.4 million compared to the 2012 provision of $7.2 million.

All regulatory ratios continue to exceed the threshold for “well-capitalized.” As of December 31, 2013 Tier 1 leverage ratio totaled 9.22%, Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio totaled 11.64% and Total risk-based capital ratio totaled 12.90%. Tangible Common Equity improved by 79 basis points to 6.77%.
