DNB Financial Corporation
Announces 2012 Second Quarter Earnings
(July 23, 2012 – Downingtown, PA) DNB Financial Corporation ("DNB"), parent of DNB First, National Association, the oldest national bank in the greater Philadelphia region, reported an 8.70% increase in net income for the second quarter of 2012, compared to the same period in 2011. Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was $1.4 million compared to $1.3 million for the same period in 2011. Earnings per common share for the second quarter of 2012 were $0.46 on a fully diluted basis compared to $0.42 for the same period in 2011.
William S. Latoff, Chairman and CEO said, "We are pleased with the results this quarter and recognize that it is our continued strong earnings and capital that is positioning DNB for the future. During the quarter we completed a branch acquisition in Boothwyn, PA, that complements our existing customer base and is contiguous to DNB's branch network. As we move forward we will continue our strategy to grow, while remaining a financially sound institution."
Net interest income rose to $5.6 million compared to $5.4 million for the same period in 2011, primarily due to lower rates on liabilities. The net interest margin for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was 3.78%, a 13 basis point increase over the same period in 2011.
Net loans grew $3.5 million or .87% at June 30, 2012 compared to December 31, 2011 and assets grew $27.0 million or 4.45%. Deposits increased by $29.0 million or 5.84% to $526.6 million at June 30, 2012 compared to $497.5 million at December 31, 2011. Core deposits, i.e., demand deposits, money market accounts, NOW and savings accounts increased $30.5 million in aggregate or 7.76%, while time deposits declined $1.4 million or 1.36%. DNB’s composite cost of funds for the second quarter of 2012 dropped 17 basis points to 0.69% compared to 0.86% for the three months ended June 30, 2011.

Capital remained strong at the close of the second quarter of 2012, as DNB’s tier 1 leverage ratio stood at 10.22%, while its total risk-based capital ratio stood at 15.52%. Management believes that these levels of capital are appropriate for current market conditions. Stockholders' equity increased $2.7 million to $53.7 million at June 30, 2012 compared to $51.0 million at December 31, 2011, reflecting solid earnings growth.
We continued to see positive trends during the quarter in non-interest income, specifically service charges on deposits and fees from wealth management services and products, which were up over the second quarter of last year by 24.22% and 5.89% respectively. Overall non-interest income increased $211,000 or 22.28% to $1.2 million. Non-interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2012 increased 4.47% or $183,000, compared to the same period in 2011, and included $65,000 in conversion costs related to the Boothwyn branch acquisition. The remaining variance was due largely to increased costs for FDIC insurance, charitable contributions, staffing, occupancy, third-party services and printing and supplies, offset by lower marketing costs.
During the second quarter of 2012 and 2011, DNB provided $475,000 and $426,000 respectively, for credit losses. The allowance for credit losses at June 30, 2012 was flat when compared to December 31, 2011. DNB's coverage ratio, defined as the allowance for credit losses as a percentage of non-performing loans was 69.02% at June 30, 2012.
William J. Hieb, President and Chief Risk & Credit Officer said, “We have seen an increase in non-performing loans and overall delinquencies compared to December 31, 2011, but we believe we are adequately reserved as of June 30, 2012. We continue to strive to provide the appropriate level of credit loss reserve for current economic conditions and credit exposures."
The ratio of non-performing loans to total loans at June 30, 2012 was 2.21%, up from 1.89% at December 31, 2011. Overall the ratio of loans delinquent 30 days or more was 3.00%, up from 2.19% at December 31, 2011. Non-performing loans and overall delinquencies have increased largely due to two commercial credits totaling $4.0 million, which are expected to be cured by year end 2012.
Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $2.5 million compared to $2.3 million for the same period in 2011. Earnings per common share for the first six months of 2012 were $0.82 on a fully diluted basis compared to $0.74 for the same period in 2011.
Chairman Latoff concluded, "In today's economy, community banks must look to multiple sources to generate revenues, while containing costs and maintaining balance sheet strength. We must continually invest in new products and services as well as back office operations to improve efficiency and provide the support our customers need and deserve. We have built our business on relationships, but those relationships can only be fostered by consistently meeting expectations and delivering positive results."
