LSB Financial Corp. Announces First Quarter Results

May 12, 2014, Lafayette, IN - LSB Financial Corp. (NASDAQ:LSBI), the parent company of Lafayette Savings Bank, FSB, today reported first quarter earnings of $520,000 or $0.33 diluted earnings per share compared to $653,000 or $0.42 diluted earnings per share a year earlier.  The major contributors to the Bank’s performance were a decrease in net interest income of $246,000 or 8.2% compared to the same period in 2013, primarily because of lower loan rates and slower loan growth for the three months, and a $241,000 decrease in the gain on the sale of mortgage loans over the first three months of last year as higher long-term interest rates slowed mortgage refinance activity.  These contributors were offset by a $400,000 decrease in the provision for loan losses.

Randolph F. Williams, President and CEO stated, “We continue to make progress with our asset quality which compares favorably with peer data.  At March 31, 2014, non-performing assets were well under 1.0% of total assets, totaling $2.5 million or 0.70% of total assets, compared to $2.6 million or 0.70%, at the end of 2013 and a twelve-year low.  We have had a decrease in non-performing assets in each of the past 12 quarters.  With an allowance for loan losses totaling $6.4 million and only $2.4 million in non-performing loans we believe we are well reserved against asset deterioration.”

Williams continued, “Despite the terrible weather we experienced in the first quarter we were able to hold our own on the lending side of the bank.  Residential mortgage applications were slow in the first quarter, however, the majority of residential loans closed in the first quarter were for home purchases rather than refinances.  Tippecanoe County has been named by the Indiana University Kelley School of Business as Indiana’s fifth fastest growing county and we see signs of why that is true”.

The Bank continues to maintain a strong capital base with a total capital-to-asset ratio at March 31, 2014 of 11.28%, and a risk-based capital ratio of 17.48%, both of which are well above the current definition of “well-capitalized” as defined by the bank regulators.

The closing market price of LSB stock on May 9, 2014 was $29.40 per share as reported by the NASDAQ Global Market. This represents an increase of 43.84% over the same date last year.
