Anchor Bancorp Wisconsin Inc. Announces Second Quarter Results
MADISON, Wis., Nov. 7, 2008 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Anchor BanCorp Wisconsin Inc. (Nasdaq:ABCW) announced a net loss of $23.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2008. This compares to net income for the same quarter of the previous fiscal year of $9.3 million. For the six months ended September 30, 2008 the net loss is $17.8 million versus income of $19.2 million for the same period last year.
Loan loss provisions were $47.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2008. "This action was necessary due to the deterioration in a portion of our loan portfolio, driven primarily by the current condition of the real estate market and the challenges this presents to some of our borrowers," said Douglas J. Timmerman, President and CEO. "In addition to increasing our reserve level, we have a team working on a case-by-case basis with our borrowers who have troubled assets to resolve the situation in a mutually beneficial way," added Timmerman.
"On the positive side, the current interest rate environment helped us reduce our cost of funds by 113 basis points, and our service charge based income continued to grow," said Timmerman. For the quarter ended September 30, 2008 Anchor BanCorp Wisconsin's cost of funds was 3.00 percent versus 4.13 percent for the same period a year ago. Service charges on deposits grew 31.3 percent to $4.1 million for the quarter versus $3.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2007.
"We also are reviewing alternatives for raising additional capital. Working with our advisors, we are evaluating the best available options, including the possibility of participating in the U.S. Treasury's capital purchase program," added Timmerman.
Total assets stood at $4.93 billion as of September 30, 2008, up 6.9 percent versus a year ago, and total deposits are $3.35 billion, up 5.4 percent from the previous year, which includes the impact of the merger with S&C Banco in January 2008.
Anchor BanCorp's stock is traded on the NASDAQ exchange under the symbol ABCW. AnchorBank fsb, the wholly-owned subsidiary, has 74 full service offices and two loan origination only offices. All are located in Wisconsin.
