SP Bancorp, Inc. Announces First Quarter Earnings
PLANO, Texas, May 7, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SP Bancorp, Inc. (Nasdaq:SPBC) (the "Company"), the holding company for SharePlus Bank (the "Bank"), today announced financial results for the Company's first quarter ended March 31, 2014.
"During the first quarter, we earned $0.06 per share. Commercial lending volume is growing very nicely and will continue to be our focus as we move forward with our transition to a commercial bank," said President and CEO Jeff Weaver. "Our earnings reflect significantly reduced noninterest income as a result of lower volumes in both our mortgage and mortgage warehouse businesses. We are very excited about our mortgage warehouse business as our work this winter in developing new customers is beginning to pay off. We are also beginning to see signs of improvement in the housing market and our retail mortgage origination pipelines going forward."

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2014 AND 2013
We recorded $96,000 of net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, compared to $385,000 of net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. The decrease in net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 reflected a $120,000 decrease in net interest income, a $64,000 increase in the provision for loan losses and a $515,000 decrease in noninterest income. These were partially offset by a $264,000 decrease in noninterest expense.
Net interest income decreased $120,000, or 4.9%, to $2.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 from $2.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, due primarily to a decrease in our interest rate spread to 3.07% from 3.49%, and a 40 basis point decrease in our net interest margin to 3.17% from 3.57%.
We recorded a provision for loan losses of $139,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, compared to a provision for loan losses of $75,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. The increase in the provision for loan losses was primarily attributable to growth in commercial business and commercial real estate loans.
Noninterest income decreased $515,000, or 49.4%, to $527,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 from $1.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. The decrease was due primarily to lower gains on sale of mortgage loans, lower service charge income and lower mortgage warehouse fees recognized in the first quarter of 2014, when compared to the same period in 2013.
Noninterest expense decreased $264,000, or 9.2%, to $2.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2014. This decrease was driven by declines in substantially all noninterest expense categories, as management has maintained tight cost controls.
COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION DATA – MARCH 31, 2014 AND DECEMBER 31, 2013
Total assets increased $11.8 million to $315.8 million at March 31, 2014 from $304.0 million at December 31, 2013. The increase in total assets was due to higher levels of customer deposits that have been reinvested in cash and cash equivalents, loans and securities.
Net loans increased to $226.5 million at March 31, 2014, from $218.3 million at December 31, 2013, as a result of growth in commercial business and commercial real estate loans. This growth was partially offset by declines in mortgage warehouse balances.
Deposits increased $12.2 million, or 4.7%, to $273.5 million at March 31, 2014 from $261.3 million at December 31, 2013. This growth was primarily driven by deposits made by our existing customers, which positively impacted checking, money market and savings account balances.
Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas remained the same at $7.4 million at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.
Stockholders' equity increased $320,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2014. This increase was primarily due unrecognized gains on available for sale securities arising during the quarter. This reflects the increase in market value in our securities portfolio at March 31, 2014 when compared to December 31, 2013 and net income of $96,000. During the first quarter we also completed our previously authorized stock repurchase program, repurchasing 11,137 shares of the Company's common stock.
