ALLIANCE BANCORP, INC. OF PENNSYLVANIA REPORTS FIRST
QUARTER RESULTS AND REGULAR QUARTERLY CASH DIVIDEND
Broomall, Pennsylvania. April 24, 2013 – Alliance Bancorp, Inc. of Pennsylvania (the “Company”) (NASDAQ Global Market: ALLB) announced today its results for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. The Company also announced that its Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend on the common stock of the Company of $.05 per share, payable on May 24, 2013 to shareholders of record at the close of business on May 10, 2013.
The Company reported net income of $422,000 or $.08 per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 as compared to net income of $505,000 or $.09 per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2012. Net interest income decreased $122,000 or 3.4% to $3.5 million and other income decreased $16,000 or 8.3% to $177,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012. Other expenses increased $56,000 or 1.9% to $3.0 million and the provision for loan losses decreased $75,000 to $150,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012. Income tax expense amounted to $77,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 as compared to $113,000 for the same period in 2012.
The decrease in net interest income was due to a $331,000 or 7.4% decrease in interest income which was partially offset by a decrease of $209,000 or 23.9% in interest expense, substantially all of which was due to a decrease in interest expense on customer deposits. The decrease in other income was primarily due to a lower amount of other fee income. The increase in other expenses primarily resulted from write-downs on certain real estate owned properties along with increases in advertising and marketing costs and professional fees. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in loan and real estate owned expense and a lower amount of FDIC deposit insurance premiums. The decrease in income tax expense was due to a lower level of taxable income.
The Company’s total assets decreased $3.5 million or 0.8% to $457.4 million at March 31, 2013 as compared to $460.9 million at December 31, 2012. Cash and cash equivalents decreased $2.8 million or 2.5% to $109.5 million and net loans receivable decreased $2.0 million or 0.7% to $276.9 million. Investment and mortgage-backed securities increased $1.4 million or 3.4% to $43.3 million at March 31, 2013. Customer deposits decreased $2.5 million or 0.7% to $368.6 million and borrowings decreased $378,000 or 11.6% to $2.9 million at March 31, 2013. Total stockholders’ equity amounted to $79.7 million or 17.4% of total assets as of March 31, 2013 compared to $80.0 million or 17.4% of total assets at December 31, 2012.
Nonperforming assets decreased $186,000 to $7.5 million or 1.64% of total assets at March 31, 2013 as compared to $7.7 million or 1.67% of total assets at December 31, 2012. The nonperforming assets at March 31, 2013 included $5.5 million in nonperforming loans and $2.0 million in real estate owned. The decrease in nonperforming assets was primarily due to a $93,000 decrease in nonperforming loans and a $94,000 decrease in real estate owned as of March 31, 2013. Overall, nonperforming loans included $2.2 million in single-family residential real estate loans, $3.1 million in commercial real estate loans and $195,000 in student loans, which are fully guaranteed by the U.S. Government.
