DOWNEY ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER EARNINGS
Newport Beach, California - April 16, 2004 - Downey Financial Corp. (NYSE: DSL) reported that net income for the first quarter of 2004 totaled $8.9 million or $0.32 per share on a diluted basis, down from $30.2 million or $1.08 per share in the year-ago first quarter. No shares of common stock were repurchased during the current quarter, and $38 million of the previously announced $50 million authorization remains available for future share repurchases.
The decline in net income between first quarters reflected:
- A $18.4 million decline from gains on sales of loans due primarily to a lower volume of fixed rate loans being originated and sold;
- A $11.5 million or 14.3% decline in net interest income, reflecting the decline in the effective interest rate spread that had already occurred prior to the current quarter;
- A $3.5 million increase in provision for loan losses due to growth during the quarter in the loan portfolio;
- A $3.1 million or 6.0% increase in general and administrative expense; and
- A $2.5 million decline in income from a litigation award received in the year-ago quarter.
The loss from loan servicing was $0.6 million greater than a year ago. However, that increased loss was more than offset by a $2.1 million gain in the current quarter from the sale of investment securities that were acquired as a partial economic hedge against the value of mortgage servicing rights.
Marangal I. Domingo, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We expected net income this quarter to be below year-ago levels due to lower gains from sales of loans and net interest income. We did not expect, however, for long-term market interest rates to fall during the quarter, thereby impairing the value of our mortgage servicing rights and requiring us to add $12.9 million to the valuation allowance, which was only slightly higher than the year-ago level."
Mr. Domingo continued by stating, "Despite our disappointing first quarter earnings, we were encouraged by several positive developments. First, our portfolio loan originations reached a record quarterly level resulting in almost $1 billion of balance sheet growth and, based upon our current pipeline, this growth should continue allowing us to deploy our capital profitably. Second, we entered into interest rate swap contracts during the latter part of the first quarter as a fair value hedge against certain existing fixed rate borrowings that mature in the fourth quarter of 2008. These swaps effectively convert the borrowings from fixed to adjustable rate and better match the adjustable rate loans now being funded with those borrowings. Assuming no change in the level of 3-month Libor, these swaps will reduce interest expense by approximately $9 million per year." The notional amount of the swaps is $430 million on which Downey receives a weighted average fixed rate of 3.23% and pays 3-month Libor.
Hedging Stategy
Finally, with respect to mortgage servicing rights, Mr. Domingo stated, "Just prior to the end of March, we established a partial economic hedge against future MSR value declines by purchasing approximately $500 million of securities classified as available for sale. Our hedging strategy is fairly
simple. During periods when long-term interest rates decline, the value of our MSRs will fall and the resultant MSR valuation addition will be partially offset by securities gains. However, if long-term interest rates rise causing MSR values to improve, the securities will be in a loss position and may be sold at a loss, with the intention to reset the hedge at a higher market interest rate. Any realized loss from the securities sales will be mitigated by the favorable earnings impact associated with the recapture of any existing MSR valuation allowance. While this strategy is not constructed to be a perfect hedge, it is expected to reduce earnings volatility from changing MSR values. The initial securities position we purchased was sold the last day of the quarter and on the same day, we reset the hedge amount for the second quarter."
Net Interest Income
Net interest income totaled $69.4 million in the first quarter of 2004, down $11.5 million or 14.3% between first quarters. The decline reflected a lower effective interest rate spread, as interest-earning assets averaged $11.487 billion in the current quarter, up 1.7% from a year ago. The effective interest rate spread averaged 2.42% in the current quarter, down from 2.86% a year ago but up from 2.40% in the fourth quarter of 2003. The decline between first quarters was due to the yield on interest-earning assets declining more rapidly than the cost of funds. The more rapid decline in the yield on interest-earning assets primarily reflected a positive interest rate gap (i.e., more interest-earning assets reprice to market interest rates within one year than do interest-bearing liabilities). In addition, the decline in the effective interest rate spread also reflected a higher proportion of MTA ARMs that currently have lower fully-indexed yields than COFI ARMs and a lower percentage of higher yielding subprime loans.
Provision for Loan Losses
During the current quarter, provision for loan losses totaled $1.8 million, compared to a $1.7 million reversal in the year-ago first quarter. The higher provision was due to growth in the loan portfolio, whereas the reversal a year ago reflected both a decline in the loan portfolio as well as an improvement in credit quality. The allowance for loan losses was $32 million at March 31, 2004, compared to $30 million at year-end 2003 and $33 million at March 31, 2003. Net charge-offs totaled $0.1 million in the first quarter of 2004, compared to $0.2 million in the year-ago quarter.
Other Income
Other income totaled $3.0 million in the first quarter of 2004, down $19.1 million from a year ago. Contributing to the decline between first quarters was:
- A $18.4 million decrease in net gains from sales of loans and mortgage-backed securities. Net gains in the current quarter totaled $1.4 million, including a $3.3 million loss due to the SFAS 133 impact of valuing derivatives associated with the sale of loans. Excluding the impact of SFAS 133, a gain equal to 0.69% on secondary market sales of $679 million was realized, compared to the year-ago gain of 1.23% on secondary market sales of $1.624 billion.
- A $2.5 million decrease in income from a litigation award received in the year-ago quarter.
- A $0.6 million increase in the loss from loan servicing activities. The current quarter loss from loan servicing totaled $14.2 million and included a $12.9 million addition to the valuation allowance for mortgage servicing rights, whereas the year-ago quarter included a provision of $11.4 million. At March 31, 2004, mortgage servicing rights, net of a $22 million valuation allowance, totaled $70 million or 0.76% of the $9.126 billion of associated loans serviced for others.
Those items were partially offset by a $2.1 million gain from the sale of securities purchased as a partial economic hedge against the valuation of mortgage servicing rights. In addition, loan and deposit related fees were $0.5 million higher, primarily reflecting higher fees from checking accounts and automated teller machines.
Operating Expense
Operating expense totaled $55.0 million in the current quarter, up $2.7 million or 5.2% from the first quarter of 2003, due to higher general and administrative expense. The increase was primarily in salaries and related costs, up $1.4 million or 4.2%, and advertising expense, up $0.9 million.
Assets, Loan Originations and Deposits
At March 31, 2004, assets totaled $13.5 billion, up $2.1 billion or 18.2% from a year ago and up $1.9 billion from December 31, 2003. During the past three months, portfolio originations exceeded loan payoffs, resulting in an increase of $948 million in loans held for investment. In addition, loans held for sale were $249 million higher, while securities available for sale increased $182 million. Included within securities available for sale at quarter end were $517 million associated with the previously mentioned partial economic hedge of mortgage servicing rights. Also, other assets were higher and included a receivable of $507 million related to securities sold the last day of the quarter, for which proceeds were received the next business day.
Loan originations (including purchases) totaled $2.956 billion in the first quarter of 2004, up from $2.441 billion in the first quarter of 2003. Loans originated for sale declined $679 million to $928 million, while single family loans originated for portfolio increased by $1.120 billion to a quarterly record of $1.903 billion. Of the current quarter total originated for portfolio, $173 million represented subprime credits. At quarter end, the subprime portfolio totaled $1.022 billion, with an average loan-to-value ratio at origination of 73% and, of the total, 92% represented "Alt. A and A-" credits. In addition to single family loans, $125 million of other loans were originated in the quarter.
Deposits totaled $8.8 billion at March 31, 2004, down 2.0% from the year-ago level but up $523 million or 6.3% since the end of 2003. During the quarter, one in-store branch was closed due to the sale of the grocery store in which it was located. The associated deposits have been temporarily transferred to another branch pending the opening of a replacement location expected in the second quarter. This brings the total number of branches to 171, of which 168 are in California and three are in Arizona. At quarter end, the average deposit size of our 72 traditional branches was $102 million, while the average deposit size of our 99 in-store branches was $15 million.
Non-Performing Assets
Non-performing assets increased $5 million during the quarter to $54 million, or 0.40% of total assets, compared to 0.42% at year-end 2003. The increase during the quarter was primarily in prime residential loans.
Regulatory Capital Ratios
At March 31, 2004, Downey Financial Corp.’s primary subsidiary, Downey Savings and Loan Association, F.A., had core and tangible capital ratios of 6.90% and a risk-based capital ratio of 13.36%. These capital levels were well above the "well capitalized" standards of 5% and 10%, respectively, as defined by regulation.
