FIRST CAPITAL, INC. REPORTS QUARTERLY EARNINGS
Corydon, Indiana—October 18, 2012. First Capital, Inc. (NASDAQ: FCAP - news), the holding company for First Harrison Bank (the “Bank”), today reported net income of $719,000 or $0.26 per diluted share for the quarter ended September 30, 2012, compared to $1.1 million or $0.39 per diluted share for the same period in 2011.
The decrease in earnings is primarily due to the Bank’s previously announced voluntary early retirement program that was effective September 30, 2012. Fourteen employees participated in the program which resulted in a pre-tax charge to earnings of $693,000 during the quarter ended September 30, 2012. Had this nonrecurring expense not occurred, the Company would have recognized net income of $1.1 million or $0.41 per diluted share for the quarter ended September 30, 2012. The Company expects to save approximately $617,000 on a pre-tax basis in the first year following the effective date of the voluntary early retirement program due to lower compensation and benefits expense.
Net interest income after provision for loan losses decreased $7,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2011. Interest income decreased $379,000 when comparing the two periods as the average tax-equivalent yield of interest-earning assets decreased from 5.12% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2011 to 4.59% for the same period in 2012. This was partially offset by an increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets from $409.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 to $423.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2012. Interest expense decreased $322,000 as the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased from 1.05% to 0.67% when comparing the same two periods. As a result, the interest-rate spread decreased from 4.07% for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 to 3.92% for the same period in 2012. The provision for loan losses decreased from $400,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 to $350,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 primarily due to a decrease in net charge offs from $299,000 during the three-month period ended September 30, 2011 to $191,000 during the same period in 2012.
Noninterest income increased $52,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the same period in 2011. Gains on the sale of loans increased $38,000 when comparing the two periods.
Noninterest expenses increased $652,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011. Compensation and benefits expense increased $588,000 when comparing the two periods due to the previously discussed voluntary early retirement program. Data processing expenses increased $39,000 when comparing the two periods primarily due to an increase in ATM processing fees.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company reported net income of $2.7 million or $0.96 per diluted share compared to net income of $2.9 million or $1.05 per diluted share for the same period in 2011. Excluding the aforementioned charge to earnings for the voluntary early retirement program, the Company would have reported net income of $3.1 million or $1.11 per diluted share for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.
Net interest income after provision for loan losses decreased $4,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011. Interest income decreased $1.2 million when comparing the two periods, due to a decrease in the average tax-equivalent yield on interest-earning assets from 5.09% for 2011 to 4.65% for 2012. Interest expense decreased $1.0 million as the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased from 1.13% to 0.75% when comparing the same two periods. The provision for loan losses decreased from $1.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 to $1.1 million for the same period in 2012.
Noninterest income increased $349,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The increase was primarily due to a $318,000 increase in gains on loans sold as a result of gains on the sale of SBA loans of $108,000 and a 53% increase in the gain on sale of residential mortgage loans originated for sale for the 2012 period compared to 2011.
Noninterest expenses increased $722,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the same period in 2011, primarily due to an increase in compensation and benefit expenses of $577,000. This was due to the expenses associated with the voluntary early retirement program. Data processing expenses also increased $115,000 when comparing the two periods as a result of increased ATM processing fees and more customers using alternative delivery channels.
Total assets as of September 30, 2012 were $458.4 million compared to $438.9 million at December 31, 2011. Securities available for sale increased $11.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, while net loans receivable increased $4.9 million. Deposits increased $19.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Nonperforming assets (consisting of nonaccrual loans, accruing loans 90 days or more past due, troubled debt restructurings on accrual status, and foreclosed real estate) totaled $8.8 million and $8.9 million at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.
At September 30, 2012, the Bank was considered well-capitalized under applicable federal regulatory capital guidelines.
