Honolulu, Hawaii, January 30, 2014 - Territorial Bancorp Inc. (NASDAQ:  TBNK) (the “Company”), headquartered in Honolulu, Hawaii, the holding company parent of Territorial Savings Bank, announced net income of $3.5 million or $0.37 per basic and diluted share for the three months ended December 31, 2013, compared to $3.8 million or $0.38 per basic and $0.37 per diluted share for the three months ended December 31, 2012.  The reduction in earnings for the fourth quarter of 2013 was primarily due to a decrease in gain on sale of loans and an increase in provision for income taxes.  This was offset by an increase in net interest income and gains on sale of investment securities and a reduction in the provision for loan losses.  Loans grew by 3.6 % during the fourth quarter and by 10.5% in 2013.  Deposits also rose by 4.1% in 2013.  The decrease in earnings did not cause a decline in diluted earnings per share because of a reduction in the weighted-average shares outstanding, which resulted from the Company successfully completing its fourth share repurchase program earlier in the year and commencing its fifth share repurchase program.

The Company also announced that its Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend on its common stock of $0.14 per share.  The dividend is expected to be paid on February 27, 2014 to stockholders of record as of February 13, 2014.

Allan Kitagawa, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said “Despite the low interest rate environment of the past year, we have worked hard to increase our net interest margin and earnings. Our net interest margin has increased for three consecutive quarters  to 3.38%.  I am pleased with the performance of the Company since our stock conversion in 2009.  We have continued to expand our customer base by offering mortgage loans and deposit products with attractive interest rates.  As I announced earlier, in October of last year we opened our 28th branch in Manoa.  We are working to improve our shareholder returns by continuing our stock repurchase program and payment of dividends.  I am pleased to announce that in addition to the $0.10 per share special dividend paid in December 2013, we will be paying a quarterly dividend of $0.14 per share.”

Quarterly Results:

Interest Income

Net interest income increased to $13.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2013 from $12.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2012.  Total interest and dividend income was $14.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2013 compared to $14.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2012. The $215,000 increase in interest income and dividend was primarily due to an increase of $230,000 in interest earned on investment securities and an increase of $46,000 of interest earned on loans. This was offset by a $64,000 reduction in interest earned from other investments.

Interest Expense and Provision for Loan Losses

Total interest expense decreased to $1.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2013 compared to $1.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2012.  The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to a $221,000 reduction of interest expense on deposits and a $197,000 reduction of interest expense on securities sold under agreements to repurchase.  These reductions were primarily due to the lower interest rate environment and the payoff of higher costing securities sold under agreements to repurchase.  During the fourth quarter of 2013, there was an $8,000 credit to the provision for loan losses compared to a $243,000 provision for loan losses for the quarter ended December 31, 2012.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income was $1.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2013 compared to $2.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2012.  The reduction in noninterest income was primarily due to a $744,000 decrease in gain on sale of loans.  This was partially offset by a $111,000 increase in gain on sale of investment securities and a $56,000 increase in income on bank-owned life insurance.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense increased to $9.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2013 as compared to $8.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2012.  The increase in noninterest expense was primarily due to higher salaries and employee benefits, equipment expenses and occupancy expenses.

Income Taxes and Net Income:

Income before income taxes rose by $6,000 in the fourth quarter of 2013 compared to the fourth quarter of 2012.  However, because of an increase in the effective tax rate, net income for the fourth quarter of 2013 was $291,000 lower than the net income for the fourth quarter of 2012.

Year Ended December 31, 2013 Results

For the year ended December 31, 2013 net interest income was $49.9 million compared to $50.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2012.  Total interest and dividend income decreased to $56.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 from $60.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 because of lower interest rates on investment securities.  Total interest expense decreased to $6.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 from $9.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, primarily due to decreases in interest expense on deposits and interest paid on securities sold under agreements to repurchase.  Provision for loan losses decreased to $39,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to $415,000 for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Noninterest income was $8.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to $7.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2012.  This increase in noninterest income was primarily due to an increased gain on sale of investment securities which rose to $3.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, compared to $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. The increase in gain on sale of investment securities was offset by a decrease of $870,000 in gain on sale of loans.

Noninterest expense was $35.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to $34.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2012.  The increase in noninterest expense was primarily due to increases in salaries and employee benefits, equipment, occupancy and other general and administrative expenses. These increases in noninterest expense were offset by a $321,000 decrease in loss on extinguishment of debt which occurred in 2012 when the Bank paid off $25.0 million of higher costing borrowings.

Income Taxes and Net Income:

Income before income taxes rose by $358,000 in 2013 compared to 2012.  However, because of an increase in the effective tax rate, net income for 2013 was $191,000 lower than net income for 2012.

Assets and Equity

Total assets increased to $1.617 billion at December 31, 2013 from $1.575 billion at December 31, 2012. Loans receivable grew to $856.5 million at December 31, 2013 from $774.9 million at December 31, 2012 due to an increase in residential mortgage loan originations. Investment securities increased to $613.4 million as of December 31, 2013 from $554.7 million at December 31, 2012 as new securities purchased exceeded the amount of repayments and sales.  The growth in loans receivable and investment securities was funded by cash and cash equivalents and an increase in deposits.  Cash and cash equivalents decreased to $75.4 million at December 31, 2013 from $182.8 million at December 31, 2012.  Deposits increased to $1.289 billion at December 31, 2013 from $1.238 billion at December 31, 2012.  Total stockholders’ equity decreased to $212.1 million at December 31, 2013 from $219.0 million at December 31, 2012.  The decrease in stockholders’ equity was primarily due to shares repurchased under the Company’s stock buyback program and

dividend payments.  The Board of Directors has authorized five stock repurchase programs to date.  The fourth stock repurchase program was completed on September 30, 2013.  Through December 31, 2013, the Company had repurchased 2,528,259 shares, compared to 1,684,171 shares as of December 31, 2012.  The decline in stockholders’ equity which occurred as a result of the stock buyback programs and dividend payments was offset by the current year’s earnings.

Asset Quality

Total delinquent loans past due and not accruing totaled $1.6 million (5 loans) at December 31, 2013, compared to $2.0 million (8 loans) at December 31, 2012.  Non-performing assets totaled $6.0 million at December 31, 2013 compared to $4.4 million at December 31, 2012.  The ratio of non-performing assets to total assets of 0.37% at December 31, 2013 continues to remain one of the lowest in the country.  The allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2013 was $1.5 million and represented 0.17% of total loans.  At December 31, 2012, the allowance for loan losses was $1.7 million and represented 0.22% of total loans.
