FIRST CAPITAL, INC. REPORTS SECOND QUARTER EARNINGS INCREASE
Corydon, Indiana—July 26, 2010. First Capital, Inc. (NASDAQ: FCAP - news), the holding company for First Harrison Bank (the “Bank”), today reported net income of $988,000 or $0.35 per diluted share for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, compared to a net loss of $405,000 or $0.15 per diluted share for the same period in 2009.
The increase in earnings is primarily due to increases in net interest income and in noninterest income and a decrease in the provision for loan losses.
Net interest income after provision for loan losses increased $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2009. Interest income decreased $89,000 when comparing the two periods as the average tax-equivalent yield of interest-earning assets decreased from 5.51% during the quarter ended June 30, 2009 to 5.37% for the same period in 2010, partially offset by an increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets from $420.1 million in 2009 to $425.8 million in 2010. Interest expense decreased $621,000 as the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased from 2.26% to 1.53% when comparing the same two periods while the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities increased from $363.3 million in 2009 to $374.7 million in 2010. These decreases in the average tax-equivalent yield on interest-earning assets and average cost of interest-bearing liabilities were primarily due to the Federal Reserve’s Open Market Committee continuing to hold interest rates near historic lows which affects rates on new accounts as well as on existing accounts repricing to lower rates. The provision for loan losses decreased $1.5 million when comparing the three month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. This decrease was primarily due to the allocation of specific reserves on two commercial credit relationships during June 2009.
Noninterest income increased $109,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the same period in 2009. Service charges on deposit accounts increased $120,000 when comparing the two periods primarily due to an increase in debit card income. This was partially offset by a decrease of $23,000 in gains on the sale of mortgage loans.
Noninterest expenses decreased $43,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2009. Other operating expenses decreased $167,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the same period in 2009. This was partially offset by an increase in compensation and benefits of $72,000 when comparing the same two periods. The decrease in other operating expenses was primarily due to a $211,000 decrease in FDIC deposit insurance premiums. The premiums in 2009 included the special assessment imposed on all banks by the FDIC effective June 30, 2009. The increase in compensation and benefits is primarily due to normal salary increases and an increase in the cost of health insurance.
For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company earned net income of $2.0 million or $0.71 per diluted share compared to net income of $398,000 or $0.14 per diluted share for the same period in 2009.
Net interest income after provision for loan loss increased $2.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. Interest income decreased $553,000 when comparing the two periods, due to a decrease in the average tax-equivalent yield on interest-earning assets from 5.64% during 2009 to 5.31% during 2010 primarily due the low rates previously mentioned. Interest expense decreased $1.3 million as the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased from 2.34% to 1.57% when comparing the same two periods. The provision for loan losses decreased from $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 to $880,000 for the same period in 2010 primarily due to the June 2009 allocation of specific reserves previously mentioned.
Noninterest income increased $126,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009. The increase was primarily due to a $142,000 increase in service charges on deposits.
Noninterest expenses decreased $184,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the same period in 2009, primarily due to a decrease in data processing expenses of $227,000. During the first quarter of 2010, the Bank received a $278,000 refund of disputed ATM charges paid by the Bank in 2009.
Total assets as of June 30, 2010 were $458.0 million compared to $455.5 million at December 31, 2009. Securities available for sale increased $10.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2010, while net loans receivable and cash and cash equivalents decreased $4.9 million and $3.0 million, respectively. Deposits decreased $3.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2010, while Federal Home Loan Bank advances increased $4.2 million. At June 30, 2010, the Bank was considered well-capitalized under applicable federal regulatory capital guidelines.
