LSB Financial Corp. Announces Improved Second Quarter and Year-to-Date Results
August 8, 2012, Lafayette, IN - LSB Financial Corp. (NASDAQ:LSBI), the parent company of Lafayette Savings Bank, FSB, today reported year-to-date earnings of $1.1 million or $0.71 diluted earnings per share compared to $681,000 or $0.44 diluted earnings per share a year earlier. Earnings for the quarter were $509,000 or $0.33 diluted earnings per share compared to $477,000 or $0.31 diluted earnings per share a year earlier. The major contributors to the Bank’s year-to-date performance were a $751,000 decrease in the provision for loan losses, a 41% improvement over last year, and a $442,000 increase in the gain on the sale of mortgage loans over the first six months of last year. Net interest income for the six months decreased $294,000 or 4.40% compared to the same period in 2011 primarily because of slower loan growth.
Randolph F. Williams, president and CEO stated, “In addition to the strong earnings growth, we are especially pleased with the improvement in our problem loans. At quarter-end, non-performing assets totaled $11.1 million or 3.02% of total assets, compared to $13.8 million or 3.79%, at the end of 2011. Over 54% of those non-performing loans are either paying as agreed or are under 90 days past due. The allowance for loan losses stands at 1.81% of total loans.”
Williams continued, “As a community bank we shy away from the derivatives, options and futures that many of the mega banks utilize. We generate a return for shareholders the old fashioned way…collecting deposits and making loans locally. Almost all of our loans are to people in Indiana, most right here in Tippecanoe County. At the end of June, our loan-to-deposit ratio was 94.9% and our 30-day past due rate was at a nine and one-half year low. Lending locally just makes good sense.”
The Bank continues to maintain a strong capital base with a capital-to-asset ratio at June 30, 2012 over 10%, at 10.18% and a risk-based capital ratio of 14.95%, both of which are well above the current definition of “well-capitalized” as defined by the bank regulators. Once the new capital requirements mandated under the Dodd-Frank Act become known, we will be better able to set our longer term capital targets.
The closing market price of LSB stock on August 7, 2012 was $18.60 per share as reported by the Nasdaq Global Market.
