BofI Holding, Inc. Announces First Quarter Net Income Up 35.2%
Diluted EPS Increases 28.9%
SAN DIEGO, CA - (MARKETWIRE) - November 8, 2011 - BofI Holding, Inc. (NASDAQ: BOFI) (BofI), parent of BofI Federal Bank (the “Bank,” formerly Bank of Internet USA), today announced financial results for the first quarter of its 2012 fiscal year which ended September 30, 2011. BofI net income was $6,533,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, up 35.2% over the $4,832,000 earned for the three months ended September 30, 2010. Earnings attributable to BofI's common stockholders were $6,407,000 or $0.58 per diluted share for the current quarter, up 28.9% from the $4,755,000 or $0.45 per diluted share for the quarter ended September 30, 2010.
The increase in earnings for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 was primarily the result of increased net interest income and non-interest income. The average balance of interest-earning assets for the first quarter ended September 30, 2011 increased $567.7 million compared to the first quarter last year. The loan portfolio increased $566.9 million at September 30, 2011, up 64.6% compared to the $876.9 portfolio balance at September 30, 2010. Non-interest income was $4,570,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 compared to income of $2,122,000 for the first quarter last fiscal year. The increase was mostly the result of growth in the mortgage banking business unit resulting in higher gains on sales of loans. The Bank's increased gross income was partially reduced by higher loan loss provisions and operating expenses. Excluding the after-tax impact of gains and losses associated with our securities portfolio, net income increased to $6,775,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 compared to $5,068,000 of adjusted net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2010.
“Our success in dramatically increasing our comparable quarter net income, increasing deposits, improving our asset quality, and raising capital at favorable terms in a difficult market environment continues to validate our business model” said Greg Garrabrants, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our core operating earnings were the highest in the Bank's history as a result of increased net interest income from balance sheet growth combined with gains on sale of government agency mortgage loans and gains on sale of multifamily and single family portfolio mortgages. This quarter the Bank's loan portfolio increased $118.8 million or 9.0% as a result of significant contributions from three different business units. The single-family mortgage unit originated $125.8 million of portfolio jumbo loans, the multifamily unit originated $78.5 million in new mortgages and the capital markets group originated $48.3 million in loans. Together, the three units originated $343.0 million in new mortgages in the first quarter of fiscal 2012. “
“Our deposit business, which increased by over 50% from last fiscal year's comparable quarter, continues to benefit from its best-in-class customer value proposition that has become increasingly differentiated as branch banks are compelled by their relatively high cost structure to make their accounts less attractive to customers. Despite our focus on loan and deposit growth, we have not compromised our strong commitment to credit quality. Our asset quality remains strong as total non-performing assets decreased to 80 bps at September 30, 2011 compared to 99 bps at June 30, 2011”, continued Garrabrants.
“Since June 30th, 2011, we raised approximately twenty million dollars of growth capital. This new capital coupled with the Bank's ability to monetize its multifamily and single family loans will allow the Bank to continue to execute its business plan, tapping the capital markets only when we can do so on terms favorable to our current shareholders.”

Loan loss provisions were $2,363,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2011, compared to $1,600,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2010. The increase in loan loss provision reflects an increase in loan charge-offs, particularly from our single family mortgage portfolio.
For the first quarter ended September 30, 2011, non-interest income was $4,570,000 compared to $2,122,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The increase was primarily due to gain on sale of agency mortgage loans which increased to $2.1 million compared to $1.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2010. In addition, portfolio loans of $72.3 million were transferred to held for sale and were sold for a $2.7 million in gain. There were no portfolio loan sales in 2010.
Non-interest expense or operating costs increased $4,353,000, to $9,552,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 from $5,199,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The increase was mainly a result of an increase in compensation expense of $1,884,000 related to additional staffing added during the year, an increase in the cost associated with REOs and repossessed assets of $1,571,000 which included two multifamily properties subsequently sold, an increase in advertising of $301,000, primarily due to an increase in lead acquisitions for our single family loan origination program, increased fees for legal and other professional services of $139,000, and increases in other operating expense categories due to costs associated with an increase account volume and additional employees.
Balance Sheet Summary
Our total assets increased $156.9 million, or 8.1%, to $2,097.0 million, as of September 30, 2011, up from $1,940.1 million at June 30, 2011. The loan portfolio increased a net $118.8 million, primarily from loan originations of $252.6 million, less repayments of $50.5 million and less $83.2 million transferred to held-for sale. Investment securities decreased by $9.9 million, primarily due to $38.3 million in maturities, and principal repayments, partially offset by $25.0 million in purchases. Total liabilities increased by $138.2 million or 7.7%, to $1,930.5 million at September 30, 2011, up from $1,792.3 million at June 30, 2011.
