HAVEN BANCORP REPORTS FIRST QUARTER RESULTS
Westbury, NY--Haven Bancorp, Inc. (Nasdaq: HAVN), the holding
company for CFS Bank, today reported net income of $101,000, or
$0.01 per basic common share ($0.01 per share, diluted) for the
first quarter of 2000, compared to $2.6 million, or $0.30 per
basic common share ($0.29 per share, diluted) in the first
quarter of 1999. Net income for the first quarter of 2000,
excluding restructuring charges would have been $4.7 million, or
$0.53 per basic common share ($0.51 per share, diluted). As
previously announced, the first quarter of 2000 included pre-tax
restructuring charges totaling $7.1 million, including a charge
of approximately $6.8 million related to the sale of parts of the
Company's residential mortgage origination division and the
reorganization of the remainder of the division, and a
restructuring charge of approximately $300,000 related to the
remainder of the Company's business operations. The Company
previously announced that it expects to realize annualized
savings of approximately $14 million from the restructuring of
its mortgage operations and its plan to reduce operating expenses
through a reduction in the Company's workforce and the
elimination of certain other discretionary expenses.
Philip S. Messina, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated,
"We are pleased to report that our core earnings (net income
excluding gains on sales of interest-earning assets and
restructuring charges) grew by 83% over the first quarter of
1999. Our results were positively impacted by continued growth
in net interest income, the significant contributions of fee
income from our supermarket branches and the stabilization of
operating expenses. Now that we have substantially resolved the
residential mortgage division issues which had negatively
impacted our operating results, we are well positioned to further
capitalize on our supermarket banking strategy and our core
banking business. During this quarter, the supermarket branches
made a positive contribution of approximately $1.0 million to our
pre-tax earnings, up from $675,000 in the fourth quarter of 1999.
We will continue to provide residential mortgage products to our
customers through our branch network and from our Westbury, NY
headquarters."
As of March 31, 2000, the Bank had 62 supermarket branches with
total deposits of $898.5 million, an increase of $56.2 million,
or 6.7%, from $842.3 million at December 31, 1999. During the
quarter, the Bank closed one branch in an Edwards Superstore in
Bayshore, NY and relocated another branch from the Pathmark in
Woodmere to Springfield Gardens, NY. Core deposits equaled 49.1%
of total supermarket branch deposits, compared to a ratio of
45.2% in traditional branches. The supermarket branches added
approximately 5,800 new checking accounts during the first
quarter of 2000, bringing the total number of checking accounts
in the supermarket branches to approximately 129,000. Non-
interest income from supermarket branches totaled $4.7 million in
the first quarter of 2000 compared to $4.4 million in the fourth
quarter of 1999. Non-interest expense, including allocated
overhead, totaled $9.2 million for the period compared to $9.0
million in the fourth quarter of 1999.
Net interest income for the first quarter of 2000 was $19.6
million, a 20.9% increase over net interest income of $16.2
million in the first quarter of 1999. The increase was primarily
the result of interest-earning asset growth. Average interest-
earning assets increased by 23.5% in the first quarter of 2000
compared to the first quarter of 1999, primarily due to a 71.6%
increase in average debt and equity securities, and a 34.7%
increase in average mortgage loans. Average interest-earning
assets were relatively flat from the fourth quarter of 1999. The
net interest margin in the 2000 first quarter was 2.74% compared
to 2.80% in the first quarter of 1999.
Residential and commercial real estate loan originations and
purchases for our portfolio totaled $68.8 million in the first
quarter of 2000, compared to $166.2 million originated and
purchased for portfolio in the first quarter of 1999. The
decrease in loan originations and purchases for portfolio was due
to the wind down of the residential mortgage origination
operations. In addition, $95.8 million of residential loans were
originated or purchased for sale in the secondary market during
the first quarter of 2000.
The provision for loan losses in the first quarter of 2000 was
$0.6 million compared to $0.7 million in first quarter of 1999.
The decrease in the provision was due to the expected decrease in
the growth of the residential loan portfolio. The allowance for
loan losses was $16.8 million, or 0.92% of loans, at March 31,
2000 compared to $16.7 million, also 0.92% of loans, at December
31, 1999. Non-performing assets at March 31, 2000 totaled $7.5
million, or 0.25% of total assets. Non-performing loans,
comprised of non-accrual and restructured loans, were $7.1
million and real estate owned, net, was $0.4 million at March 31,
2000. At March 31, 1999, non-performing assets totaled $10.3
million, or 0.40% of total assets; non-performing loans totaled
$10.1 million and real estate owned, net, equaled $0.2 million.
2
In the first quarter of 2000, non-interest income, excluding net
gains on sales of interest-earning assets, increased to $8.5
million, or 6.5%, from $8.0 million in the first quarter of 1999.
The growth in non-interest income reflects the impact of the
continued maturation of our supermarket banking program which was
offset by a decrease in mortgage banking income. Retail banking
fees increased 58% in the 2000 first quarter to $4.9 million from
$3.1 million in the 1999 first quarter. Insurance, annuity and
mutual fund fees for the first quarter of 2000 increased 9.8% to
$2.2 million from $2.0 million in the 1999 first quarter.
Mortgage banking income was $1.1 million in the first quarter of
2000 compared to $2.3 million in the first quarter of 1999. The
decrease in mortgage banking income was due to a decrease in the
Bank's loans held for sale volume as a result of the wind down of
the residential mortgage origination operations.
Non-interest expense, excluding the restructuring charges,
increased by $0.8 million, or 4.0% to $20.4 million in the first
quarter of 2000 compared to $19.6 million for the 1999 first
quarter and $19.9 million for the fourth quarter of 1999. The
increase was due primarily to the Bank's expansion of its
supermarket banking program from fifty-two branches at March 31,
1999 to sixty-two branches at March 31, 2000.
At March 31, 2000, Haven had total assets of $2.97 billion.
Stockholders' equity was $102.7 million, or $11.38 book value per
share, compared to $105.6 million, or $11.73 book value per share
at December 31, 1999. This decrease was due to an after tax
increase in the unrealized loss on securities available-for-sale
of $2.6 million, primarily as a result of an increase in interest
rates during the three months ended March 31, 2000. CFS Bank's
tangible, core and risk-based capital ratios at March 31, 2000,
were 5.72%, 5.72% and 12.08%, respectively. These ratios
exceeded the minimum regulatory requirements of 2.00%, 4.00% and
8.00%, respectively. The Bank is considered "well capitalized"
by regulatory standards.
