Waterstone Financial, Inc. Announces Results of Operations for the Quarter and Six Months Ended June 30, 2018.
WAUWATOSA, WI – 07/31/2018 – Waterstone Financial, Inc. (NASDAQ: WSBF), holding company for WaterStone Bank, reported net income of $9.4 million, or $0.34 per diluted share for the quarter ended June 30, 2018 compared to $8.9 million, or $0.32 per diluted share for the quarter ended June 30, 2017. Net income per diluted share was $0.59 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to net income per diluted share of $0.55 for the six months ended June 30, 2017.
"We are pleased to report a record second quarter net income of $9.4 million and earnings per share of $0.34," said Douglas Gordon, CEO of Waterstone Financial, Inc. "The Community Banking segment continued its momentum by achieving a year over year 24.2% increase in pre-tax earnings. Our success stemmed from continued strong loan growth, margin expansion and expense management. The Mortgage Banking segment continued to be negatively impacted by margin compression during the second quarter of 2018, as market competition remains strong within the industry due to lower refinancing activity and diminished levels of housing inventory. While the current mortgage banking environment presents challenges, we believe that it will also present opportunities to acquire talent, such as the addition of our New Mexico branch during the second quarter."
