ALASKA PACIFIC REPORTS
FOURTH QUARTER AND ANNUAL EARNINGS FOR 2007
JUNEAU, Alaska, March 19, 2008 -- Alaska Pacific Bancshares, Inc. (OTCBB: AKPB) (“Company”), the parent company of Alaska Pacific Bank, announced its fourth quarter and annual results for the periods ended December 31, 2007. Net income for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $922,000, or $1.40 per diluted share. This represents a 13.1% decrease compared with $1.1 million ($1.63 per diluted share) earned in 2006. For the fourth quarter, net income was $187,000, or $.28 per diluted share, a 54.3% decrease from $409,000 ($.63 per diluted share) in the fourth quarter of 2006.
Net interest income increased $551,000 (6.5%) to $9.1 million in 2007 compared to 2006, reflecting a 5.3% increase in average loans. The net interest margin on average earning assets was 5.32% for 2007 compared with 5.13% in 2006.
Loans (excluding loans held for sale) were $165.5 million at December 31, 2007, an increase of 2.9% from last quarter and 4.4% from a year ago, reflecting steady loan demand. Deposits at December 31, 2007 were $149.4 million, a $5.0 million (3.2%) decrease from last quarter, and a $4.2 million or 2.9% increase from a year ago. Loan growth during the fourth quarter of 2007 was funded by a $6.2 million increase in Federal Home Loan Bank advances.
Nonperforming loans at December 31, 2007 were $323,000 compared with $114,000 last quarter and zero a year ago.
Net loan chargeoffs for 2007 were $63,000 compared with $32,000 in 2006. The provision for loan losses decreased to $180,000 in 2007 from $250,000 in 2006, reflecting management’s assessment of risks in the loan portfolio.
Gains on sale of loans in 2007 increased to $311,000 compared with $255,000 in 2006 as a result of improved mortgage production and an increase in the portion sold in the secondary market.
Noninterest expense for 2007 was $8.7 million, a 13.2% increase from 2006, and the reason for the decline in net income. This increase was comprised of higher occupancy costs related to the amortization of leasehold improvement from the Nugget Office remodel, and higher compensation and benefit costs. In addition to annual salary increases, compensation and benefit costs increased as a result of the addition of retail staff positions, transitional staffing and recruitment expense, increased medical insurance costs, and the recording of stock option plan compensation expense in accordance with SFAS123R – “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation.”
As previously announced, the Company declared a regular quarterly dividend of $.10 per share that was paid on February 22, 2008, to shareholders of record as of February 11, 2008.
