ANNOUNCES FOURTH QUARTER AND 2018 ANNUAL RESULTS
Fairport, New York, January 30, 2019: FSB Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ: FSBC), the holding company for Fairport Savings Bank (the
“Bank”), reported net income of $43,000, or $0.02 per basic and diluted earnings per share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2018 compared to a net loss of $187,000, or $(0.10) per basic and diluted earnings per share, for the quarter ended
December 31, 2017. The Company’s net interest margin for the quarter ended December 31, 2018 decreased 11 basis points to 2.72% from 2.83% for the quarter ended December 31, 2017. The decrease in net interest margin was due to an increase in
interest expense as a percentage of interest-earnings assets of 37 basis points to 1.46% for the quarter ended December 31, 2018 from 1.09% for the quarter ended December 31, 2017. The decrease was due to increases in the average balances and the
average costs of deposits and FHLB borrowings as a result of higher repricing of these interest-bearing liabilities in a rising interest rate environment. The increase in the average cost of our interest-bearing liabilities was partially offset by
an increase in the average yield on our interest-earning assets of 26 basis points to 4.18% for the quarter ended December 31, 2018 from 3.92% for the quarter ended December 31, 2017. The increase in interest-earning assets was due to an increase
in the average balances as well as an increase in the average yields on our investments and adjustable rate residential, commercial, and consumer loans. The reason for the increase was primarily due to upward repricing for investments and
adjustable rate loans in addition to higher interest rates on new fixed-rate residential mortgage loans in a rising interest rate environment.
For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company reported net income of $135,000, or $0.07 per basic and diluted earnings per share,
compared to net income of $211,000, or $0.11 per basic and diluted earnings per share, for the year ended December 31, 2017. The Company’s net interest margin for the year ended December 31, 2018 decreased six basis points to 2.79% from 2.85% for
the year ended December 31, 2017. The interest expense as a percentage of interest-earnings assets increased from 0.99% for the year ended December 31, 2017 to 1.29% for the year ended December 31, 2018 due to increases in the average balances and
the average costs of deposits and FHLB borrowings as a result of higher repricing of these interest-bearing liabilities in a rising interest rate environment. The increase in the average cost of our interest-bearing liabilities was partially
offset by an increase in the average yield on our interest-earning assets to 4.08% for the year ended December 31, 2018 from 3.84% for the year ended December 31, 2017. The increase in interest-earning assets was due to an increase in the average
balances as well as an increase in the average yields on our investments and adjustable and fixed rate residential, commercial, and consumer loans. The reason for the increase was primarily due to upward repricing for investment and adjustable
rate loans in addition to higher interest rates on new fixed-rate residential mortgage loans in a rising interest rate environment.
The increase in net income of $230,000 for the fourth quarter of 2018 compared to the fourth quarter of 2017 resulted from an increase in net
interest income of $52,000, and decreases in provision for income taxes of $254,000 and other expense of $163,000, partially offset by a decrease in other income of $239,000. The increase in net interest income of $52,000 was primarily reflective
of the Company’s continued efforts to improve its interest-earning asset yield by increasing the balances of higher yielding residential and commercial loans. This increase in net interest income was partially offset by an increase in interest
expense due to increases in both the average costs and the average balances of our interest-bearing deposits and borrowings in order to fund the additional loan growth when comparing the fourth quarters of 2018 and 2017. The provision for income
taxes decreased due to lower income before income taxes when comparing the quarters ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 in addition to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) that was enacted on December 22, 2017, which reduced the
corporate federal income tax rate from 34% to 21% and caused a reevaluation of net deferred tax assets. Generally accepted accounting principles required that the impact of the provisions of the Tax Act be accounted for in the period of
enactment. As such, the additional expense in 2017 was largely attributable to the reduction in carrying value of net deferred tax assets, primarily unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities, reflecting lower future tax benefits resulting
from the lower corporate tax rates. The decrease in other expense of $163,000 was primarily due to a decrease in salaries and employee benefits of $190,000, partially offset by an increase in other miscellaneous expenses of $36,000. The decrease
in salaries and employee benefits was primarily attributable to a decrease in commission expense due to lower volume of mortgage loan originations in the fourth quarter of 2018 compared to the fourth quarter of 2017 in addition to a reversal of
excess funds from the Bank’s annual discretionary 401(k) contribution paid to eligible employees. Other miscellaneous expenses increased primarily due to legal fees associated with the Bank’s consideration of a possible conversion to a commercial
charter. The decrease in other income was primarily attributable to decreases in realized gains on sales of loans and mortgage fee income due to lower volume of mortgage loan originations and mortgage loan sales in addition to lower premiums
received on mortgage loans sold in the fourth quarter of 2018 compared to the fourth quarter of 2017.
At December 31, 2018, the Company had $328.3 million in consolidated assets, an increase of $13.9 million, or 4.4%, from $314.4 million at
December 31, 2017. Net loans receivable increased $19.0 million, or 7.2%, to $281.7 million at December 31, 2018 from $262.7 million at December 31, 2017. The Bank continues to focus on loan production as we continue to primarily grow our
residential mortgage and commercial loan portfolios at a measured pace while still maintaining our strong credit quality and strict underwriting standards. Residential mortgage loans increased $14.7 million, or 7.1%, to $221.6 million at December
31, 2018 from $206.9 million at December 31, 2017. Commercial real estate loans increased $7.7 million, or 51.9%, to $22.5 million at December 31, 2018 from $14.8 million at December 31, 2017. Commercial and industrial loans increased $3.6
million, or 98.2%, to $7.3 million at December 31, 2018 from $3.7 million at December 31, 2017. The Bank originated $91.4 million of residential mortgage loans for year ended December 31, 2018 compared to $108.4 million for the year ended December
31, 2017. The Bank sold $59.9 million of mortgage loans in the secondary market during the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to $70.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2017 as a balance sheet management strategy to reduce interest-rate
risk. The Bank sold these loans at a gain of $1.4 million which was recorded in other income for the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to $2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. At December 31, 2018, the Bank was servicing $123.8
million in residential mortgage loans sold to Freddie Mac and will realize servicing income on these loans as long as they remain outstanding. At December 31, 2018, the Bank had $2.1 million in loans held for sale, comprised of one- to four-family
residential fixed rate conventional, FHA, and VA mortgage loans originated and closed by the Bank in the fourth quarter of 2018 that have been committed for sale in the secondary market, and will be delivered and sold in the first quarter of 2019.
Investment securities decreased by $505,000, or 2.0%, to $24.4 million at December 31, 2018 from $24.9 million at December 31, 2017 due to maturities and principal repayments. Cash and cash equivalents, consisting primarily of interest-earning
deposits at the Federal Reserve Bank and FHLB, decreased by $4.1 million, or 39.5%, to $6.3 million at December 31, 2018 from $10.4 million at December 31, 2017 to fund loan growth. Total deposits increased $5.9 million, or 2.7%, to $222.6 million
at December 31, 2018 from $216.7 million at December 31, 2017. FHLB borrowings increased $7.4 million, or 11.4%, to $71.8 million at December 31, 2018 from $64.4 million at December 31, 2017. Long-term borrowings increased $6.6 million, or 12.9%,
to $58.1 million at December 31, 2018 from $51.4 million at December 31, 2017 due to $25.5 million in new advances partially offset by $18.9 million in principal repayments on our amortizing advances and maturities. Short-term borrowings increased
$750,000, or 5.8%, to $13.8 million at December 31, 2018 compared to $13.0 million at December 31, 2017. The increase in FHLB borrowings was used to fund the additional growth in the loan portfolio. Total stockholders’ equity increased $457,000,
or 1.5%, to $31.5 million at December 31, 2018 from $31.1 million at December 31, 2017. The Company announced on July 27, 2017 that the Board of Directors had adopted its first stock repurchase program. Under the repurchase program, the Company
may repurchase up to 97,084 shares of its common stock, or approximately 5% of its then outstanding shares. In 2018, the Company repurchased 2,592 shares at an average price of $16.38 per share. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had
repurchased 72,127 shares at an average price of $15.31 per share. At December 31, 2018, the Bank was considered well capitalized, the highest standard and capital rating, as defined by the Bank’s regulators.

At December 31, 2018, the Bank had one non-performing residential mortgage loan for $55,000 and one non-performing commercial and
industrial loan for $45,000 and at December 31, 2017, the Bank had two non-performing residential mortgage loans totaling $153,000. We recorded a $300,000 provision for loan losses for the year ended December 31, 2018 and a $271,000 provision for
loan losses for the year ended December 31, 2017. The increase in the provision for loan losses was primarily due to a $1.6 million increase in loans rated special mention from $116,000 at December 31, 2017 to $1.7 million at December 31, 2018
in addition to adding reserves to support the growth in our residential mortgage, commercial real estate, and commercial and industrial loan portfolios. The allowance for loan losses was $1.6 million, or 0.55%, of loans outstanding at December
31, 2018 compared to $1.3 million, or 0.48%, of loans outstanding at December 31, 2017. Management remains committed to maintaining a high level of asset quality as we grow our residential mortgage, commercial real estate, and commercial and
industrial loan portfolios.
