K-FED BANCORP ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER 2006 EARNINGS
Covina, California –April 28, 2006 - K-Fed Bancorp (NASDAQ: KFED), the holding company for Kaiser Federal Bank announced net income for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $1.4 million, or $0.10 per diluted common share, an increase of $128,000, or 10.4%, compared to net income of $1.2 million, or $0.09 per diluted common share for the three months ended March 31, 2005. Net income for the nine months ended March 31, 2006 was $3.7 million, or $0.27 per diluted common share compared to net income of $3.6 million, or $0.26 per diluted common share for the nine months ended March 31, 2005.
“While total assets reached $766.9 million at March 31, 2006, our earnings growth continues to be negatively impacted by further compression in our net interest margin as a result of a flat yield curve,” commented Kay Hoveland, President and CEO. “We are focusing on the expansion of new financial service centers and the deployment of additional ATMs to enhance our core deposit base. New financial service centers are now open in Bellflower and Harbor City with additional financial service centers located in Los Angeles and Riverside under construction. The expansion and growth of our core deposit base will enable us to better manage our net interest margin while generating additional deposit fee income for the Bank.”
Interest income increased by $2.4 million or 33.1%, to $9.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 from $7.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005. The primary factor for the increase in interest income was an increase in the average loans receivable balance of $132.4 million, or 25.9%, from $511.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 to $643.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006. This increase was primarily due to whole loan purchases of one-to-four family residential real estate loans. Interest income was also positively impacted by a 42 basis point increase in the average yield on loans receivable, from 5.03% for the three months ended March 31, 2005 to 5.45% for the three months ended March 31, 2006, resulting from the impact of adding higher-yielding loans to our portfolio, commensurate with increases in general market rates.
Interest expense increased $2.1 million, or 76.1%, for the three months ended March 31, 2006 to $4.8 million as compared to $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in average deposits and FHLB advances, combined with higher interest rates. The average interest rates on interest-bearing liabilities increased 87 basis points to 3.16% for the three months ended March 31, 2006 from 2.29% for the three months ended March 31, 2005. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $130.9 million or 27.6% to $604.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 from $473.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005.
Noninterest income increased $91,000, or 11.6%, to $873,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006 from $782,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2005. The increase is primarily the result of income totaling $107,000 from bank-owned life insurance purchased in April 2005.
Noninterest expense increased $277,000, or 9.0% to $3.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 from $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005. The increase was primarily due to a $102,000 increase in salaries and benefits, a $33,000 increase in professional services, a $58,000 increase in occupancy and equipment expense, and a $35,000 increase in other operating expense.
Salaries and benefits represented 54.9% of total noninterest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2006 compared to 56.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2005. Total salaries and benefits increased $102,000, or 5.8%, to $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 from $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005. The increase was primarily due to the addition of $92,000 in stock option expense related to the the adoption of FAS-123R partially offset by a reduction in fair market value costs related to our employee stock ownership plan.
Professional services increased $33,000, or 22.4% to $180,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006 from $147,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2005. The increase in professional services was primarily due to increased audit fees and increased costs related to loan quality reviews.
Occupancy and equipment expense increased $58,000, or 14.9% to $448,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006 from $390,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2005. The increase was primarily due to costs associated with the current relocation of our Pasadena Branch and non-capitalizable costs related to build-outs of financial service centers in Bellflower and Harbor City in addition to increased equipment maintenance expense.
Other operating expense increased $35,000, or 11.0% to $353,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006 from $318,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2005. The increase in other expense was primarily due to increased operational costs to support continued growth of the Bank.
Total assets increased by $127.0 million, or 19.9%, to $766.9 million at March 31, 2006 from $639.9 million at June 30, 2005. The increase primarily reflects growth in our net loan portfolio of $107.8 million to $645.4 million from $537.6 million. To fund the increase in assets, advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank increased $109.1 million to $179.9 million at March 31, 2006 from $70.8 million at June 30, 2005.
Equity increased $2.8 million to $93.6 million at March 31, 2006 from $90.8 million at June 30, 2005 primarily as a result of $3.7 million in income earned for the nine months ended March 31, 2006 in addition to the allocation of ESOP shares, stock awards, and stock options earned during the same period totaling $1.0 million. This increase was partially offset by the repurchase of 65,000 of our outstanding common shares at an average price of $12.44 and a total cost of $812,000 and the payment of $998,000 in cash dividends to shareholders of record, excluding shares held by K-Fed Mutual Holding Company, or $0.20 per share for the nine months ended March 31, 2006. Shares remaining under the Company’s stock repurchase program totaled 165,129 as of April 28, 2006.
