Territorial Bancorp Inc.
Announces First Quarter 2011 Results
Honolulu, Hawaii, May 4, 2011 - Territorial Bancorp Inc. (NASDAQ: TBNK) (the “Company”), headquartered in Honolulu, Hawaii, the holding company parent of Territorial Savings Bank, announced net income of $3.0 million or $0.27 per basic share and $0.26 per diluted share for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 or $0.13 per basic and diluted share. Net income rose by 105.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010.
The Company also announced that its Board of Directors today approved a quarterly cash dividend on its common stock of $0.09 per share. The dividend is expected to be paid on June 1, 2011 to stockholders of record as of May 18, 2011.
Allan Kitagawa, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said “Our core earnings for the first quarter were good and we will continue to focus on maintaining the quality of our mortgage loans in a still difficult economic environment. I am also pleased to announce that due to our strong performance we will be increasing our quarterly dividend from $0.07 per share to $0.09 per share.”
Interest Income
For the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, net interest income was $12.5 million and $11.4 million, respectively. The growth in net interest income is attributed to the decline in interest expense caused by the lower interest rate environment. Total interest and dividend income was $15.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $15.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. This decrease occurred primarily due to a reduction in interest earned on investment securities which totaled $6.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $6.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010.
Interest Expense and Provision for Loan Losses
Total interest expense decreased to $2.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $4.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Provision for loan losses increased to $108,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to no provision for the three months ended March 31, 2010.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income was $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to a loss of $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase in noninterest income was primarily the result of an other-than-temporary impairment loss on securities of $2.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2010. Service fees on loan and deposit accounts were $558,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $623,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Gain on sale of loans was $144,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $80,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense increased to $8.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $7.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase in noninterest expense was primarily due to higher compensation and employee benefit expense. A significant portion of this increase was due to expenses accrued for the employee stock ownership plan that was part of the conversion to a publicly held company and awards made under the equity incentive plan that was approved by stockholders in August 2010. Income tax expense increased to $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from $787,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010.
Assets and Equity
Total assets grew to $1.488 billion at March 31, 2011 from $1.443 billion at December 31, 2010. Cash and cash equivalents decreased to $158.8 million at March 31, 2011 from $194.4 million at December 31, 2010. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents was primarily due to the purchase of investment securities. Deposits increased to $1.096 billion at March 31, 2011 from $1.076 billion at December 31, 2010. Investment securities increased to $603.5 million as of March 31, 2011 from $530.5 million at December 31, 2010 as cash and cash equivalents, the growth in deposits and proceeds from new advances and securities sold under agreements to repurchase were used to purchase investment securities. Loans receivable grew to $652.5 million at March 31, 2011 from $641.8 million at December 31, 2010 due to an increase in residential mortgage loan production. Total stockholders’ equity increased slightly to $227.5 million at March 31, 2011 from $227.4 million at December 31, 2010. The change in stockholders’ equity was primarily due to the Company’s earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2011, which was offset by the cost of shares repurchased under the Company’s stock buyback program and payment of the fourth quarter dividend. The Board of Directors previously authorized the repurchase of 733,988 shares. At the end of March 31, 2011, a total of 205,483 shares had been repurchased, compared to 55,707 shares as of December 31, 2010.
Asset Quality
Total delinquent loans ninety days or more past due and not accruing was $1.2 million (10 loans) at March 31, 2011, an increase of $398,000 compared to $808,000 (7 loans) at December 31, 2010. Asset quality remained strong with the ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets increasing slightly to 0.08% at March 31, 2011 from 0.06% at December 31, 2010. The allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2011 was $1.6 million and represented 0.24% of total loans. At December 31, 2010, the allowance for loan losses was $1.5 million and represented 0.23% of total loans.
