Exhibit 99.1
BofI Announces Record Third Quarter Earnings of $7.2 Million
SAN DIEGO, CA – (MARKETWIRE) – April 29, 2010—BofI Holding, Inc. (“BofI” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: BOFI), parent of Bank of Internet USA (the “Bank”), today announced net income of $7,175,000 for its third quarter ended March 31, 2010 compared to net income of $2,594,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. Earnings available to the Company’s common stockholders were $7,002,000, or $0.77 per diluted share for the current quarter compared to $2,421,000, or $0.29 per diluted share for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. For the nine months ended March 31, 2010, net income totaled $16,431,000 compared to $3,538,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009. Diluted earnings per share were $1.79 compared to $0.37 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
BofI’s quarterly net income of $7,175,000 and its quarterly diluted earnings per share of $0.77 are new records. Net income for the third quarter ended March 31, 2010 increased 176.6% compared to net income for last year’s third quarter ended March 31, 2009. Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 included a realized gain of $2,827,000 from sales of securities, net of unrealized losses and income tax provisions. Excluding the net gain, net income would have been $4,348,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, an increase of 55.2% compared to adjusted net income for the third quarter last year, excluding unrealized losses on securities of $207,000 after tax. Net income for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 increased $12,893,000 compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2009. Earnings for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 were reduced by a $4,710,000 after-tax loss on the sale of Fannie Mae preferred stock after Fannie Mae was placed in government conservatorship in September of 2008. The increase in quarterly and year-to-date net income was primarily due to higher net interest income resulting from growth in the Bank’s average earning assets and increases in the Company’s net interest margin.
Greg Garrabrants, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated: “I am pleased with our strong performance in this improving, but challenging, banking environment. Our results in this quarter and over the last several quarters were achieved concurrent with organically building the Bank’s capital to a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 8.43% at March 31, 2010, up 22.4% from 6.89% at March 31, 2009. Excluding net securities gains, our core earnings were a record $4.3 million this quarter, up from $2.8 million for the third quarter of last fiscal year.”
“We continue to execute on our two-pronged strategy of taking advantage of the plentiful current market opportunities and investing in our deposit and lending franchise. Our investments in our lending capabilities are well timed given the quality of the executives and employees that are available to us. We have assembled a strong team of multifamily and jumbo single family mortgage originators that are now positioned to provide us another engine for quality asset growth.”
“In order to ensure we have the capital to take advantage of the unique opportunities presented to us in the current environment, we raised a net of $15.2 million dollars of capital in a public stock offering that closed on April 5, 2010. The offering was oversubscribed and generated strong institutional support,” added Mr. Garrabrants. “This capital raise and our strong earnings provide the Bank with the ability to execute against wholesale market opportunities and allow our origination businesses to grow in a credit conscious, but unimpeded manner. If our capital raise had been closed at March 31, 2010 and if $15.0 million had been contributed to the Bank, the pro-forma Tier 1 leverage ratio would have been 9.40% providing us a long runway for profitable asset growth.”
Third Quarter Highlights:
| • | | Net interest margin grew to 3.81% in the current quarter, 35.1% over the third quarter last year. |
| • | | Asset quality remains strong, with total non-performing assets equal to 0.97% of total assets at March 31, 2010. |
| • | | The allowance for loan loss increased to 74 basis points on total loans compared to 63 basis points at the end of the third quarter last year. |
| • | | Total assets reached $1,401.1 million at March 31, 2010, up 12.2% compared to the third quarter last year. |
| • | | Total deposits reached $970.4 million at March 31, 2010, up 39.8% compared to the third quarter last year. |
| • | | The efficiency ratio decreased to 25.7%, an improvement of 29.2% compared to the third quarter last year. |
| • | | The Tier 1 core capital ratio for the Bank was 8.43% at March 31, 2010, up 22.4% from the 6.89% ratio at March 31, 2009. |
Quarter Earnings Summary
For the three months ended March 31, 2010, BofI had net income of $7,175,000, an increase of $4,581,000 compared to net income of $2,594,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. Net interest income increased $4.1 million for the third quarter ended March 31, 2010 compared to the third quarter last fiscal year. Total interest and dividend income during the quarter ended March 31, 2010 increased 14.6%, to $21.2 million, compared to $18.5 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2009. The increase in interest and dividend income for the quarter was primarily attributable to growth in the average balance of loans and investment securities and higher rates earned on securities. Average interest earning assets increased $121.8 million or 10.1% for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2009. Interest expense decreased due to a 78 basis point decrease in the average funding rate, including a decrease in average rates for time deposits of 84 basis points. The improvement in the net interest margin resulted from specific actions taken by the Bank to manage its assets and liabilities, as well as favorable changes in the U.S. Treasury yield curve and loan risk premiums.
For the third quarter ended March 31, 2010, non-interest income was $5.7 million and included realized gains on the sale of mortgage-backed securities of $5.9 million and mortgage banking income of $0.7 million less unrealized losses from impairments and fair value write-downs of $1.1 million. The Bank has increased its allowance for loan loss from 63 basis points on loans at March 31, 2009 to 74 basis points on loans at March 31, 2010. The provision for loan loss was $1,250,000 in the third quarter ended March 31, 2010, up $50,000 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2009. The increased provisions for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 were the result of changes in the loan portfolio mix and higher estimated losses from our loan portfolio.
Non-interest expense or operating expense, which is comprised primarily of compensation, data processing and internet expenses, occupancy and other operating expenses, was $4.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, up from $3.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. Contributors to the year-over-year increase in operating expense were the Bank’s additional costs for foreclosed real estate, increased compensation expense related to additional staffing and the FDIC’s general increase in insurance premiums.
Balance Sheet Summary
The Company’s total assets increased $98.9 million, or 7.6%, to $1,401.1 million, as of March 31, 2010, up from $1,302.2 million at June 30, 2009. The increase in total assets was primarily due to the purchase and origination of additional loans, net of principal pay downs of $134.7 million, partially offset by a decrease in investment securities of $36.9 million due to principal pay downs and sales. Total liabilities increased $79.4 million, primarily due to an increase in deposits of $321.9 million, partially offset by a decrease of $81.0 million in borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco and a decrease of $160.0 million in borrowings from the Federal Reserve Discount Window.
