FOX CHASE BANCORP, INC. REPORTS EARNINGS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2014
(Improving Credit Leads to Increased Earnings)
HATBORO, PA. April 30, 2014 – Fox Chase Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ GS: FXCB), the holding company for Fox Chase Bank (the “Bank”), today announced net income of $2.0 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to net income of $1.8 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and $1.5 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, for the three months ended December 31, 2013.
Commenting on the performance for the quarter, Thomas M. Petro, President and CEO, said “We are pleased to report earnings of $2.0 million for the first quarter of 2014. Return on assets increased to 0.72% driven by improving credit quality and a stable net interest margin. Asset quality continues to improve, as evidenced by significant reductions in nonperforming assets to 0.79% of total assets at March 31, 2014. Our business strategy, which is focused on developing long-term business relationships, continues to generate commercial loan growth even though loans decreased this quarter due to seasonal factors.”
Highlights for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 included:
● | Total average assets were $1.09 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to $1.10 billion for the three months ended December 31, 2013 and $1.07 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Total average commercial loans increased by $12.2 million, or 2.2% to $566.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $554.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2013. Additionally, average commercial loans increased by $63.3 million, or 12.6% for three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $502.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. |
● | Total end of period assets were $1.08 billion at March 31, 2014 as compared to $1.12 billion at December 31, 2013 and $1.09 billion at March 31, 2013. Total commercial loans decreased by $22.7 million, or 3.9% to $559.6 million at March 31, 2014, compared to $582.3 at December 31, 2013, and increased $47.6 million, or 9.3%, compared to $512.0 million at March 31, 2013. The decrease in the current quarter is primarily a result of a seasonal reduction in lines of credit utilization. |
● | Nonperforming assets totaled $8.6 million, or 0.79% of total assets, at March 31, 2014 compared to $15.0 million, or 1.35% of total assets, at December 31, 2013 and $24.3 million, or 2.24% of total assets, at March 31, 2013. |
● | Return on average assets improved to 0.72% for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to 0.54% for the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 0.68% for the three months ended March 31, 2013. |
● | Net interest income increased $404,000, or 5.1%, to $8.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $7.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The net interest margin was 3.17% for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, and 3.07% for the three months ended March 31, 2013. |
● | Credit related costs, which include (i) provision for loan losses, (ii) valuation adjustments on assets acquired through foreclosure and (iii) net (loss) gain on sale of assets acquired through foreclosure, totaled $282,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $1.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2013 and $885,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Net loan charge-offs totaled $93,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $49,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2013 and $207,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013. |
● | Noninterest income decreased $595,000 to $459,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 primarily due to a gain on sale of investment securities of $361,000 in 2013 and a decrease of $203,000 in equity in earnings of affiliates due to lower mortgage loan volume. |
● | Noninterest expense increased $318,000, or 5.6%, to $6.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $5.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Salaries, benefits and other compensation increased $136,000, or 3.9%, for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013, primarily as a result of increased staffing costs. Professional fees increased $190,000, or 66.0%, for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013 due to legal workout costs. |
