CLASSIC BANCSHARES, INC. REPORTS A 20% INCREASE IN YEAR-TO-DATE EARNINGS PER
SHARE AND DECLARES A CASH DIVIDEND
Ashland, Kentucky, -- October 27, 2000 -- Classic Bancshares, Inc.
(NASDAQ - CLAS) reported adjusted cash net income (which excludes amortization
of goodwill) of $359,000 for the second quarter ended September 30, 2000
compared to cash adjusted net income of $323,000 for the same period in 1999.
Cash-diluted earnings per share were $.33 for the three months ended September
30, 2000 compared to $.28 for the same period in 1999. Adjusted cash net income
for the six months ended September 30, 2000 was $705,000 compared to $621,000
for the same period in 1999. Cash-diluted earnings per share were $.65 for the
six months ended September 30, 2000 compared to $.54 for the same period in
1999.
Net income for the second quarter ended September 30, 2000 was $295,000
or $.27 per diluted share compared to $261,000, or $.22 per diluted share for
the same period in 1999. Net income for the six months ended September 30, 2000
was $578,000, or $.53 per diluted share compared to $513,000, or $.44 per
diluted share for the same period in 1999.
Classic Bancshares' assets increased $6.4 million from $175.3 million
at March 31, 2000 to $181.7 million at September 30, 2000 primarily due to an
increase in loans. Loans increased $6.7 million from $127.8 million at March 31,
2000 to $134.5 million at September 30, 2000. Deposits increased $5.1 million
from $134.9 million at March 31, 2000 to $140.0 million at September 30, 2000.
The Company experienced strong transactional deposit growth during the period
and was able to deploy these funds primarily into higher yielding consumer,
commercial real estate and commercial business loans and to a lesser extent
residential mortgage loans.
The Company's asset quality remained stable as total non-performing
assets were .7% of total assets at September 30, 2000 compared to .6% at March
31, 2000. The Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $124,000 for the
six-month period and had net charge-offs of $50,000 for the six-month period
resulting in an allowance for loan losses of $1.4 million at September 30, 2000.
The allowance at September 30, 2000 was equal to 155% of total non-performing
loans, 114% of non-performing assets and 1.0% of total loans receivable.
Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Lisah M. Frazier
stated that, "The Company is on track for the fiscal year ending 2001. We
continue to follow our strategic plan of targeted growth in the areas of
consumer and commercial lending, building a strong base of core transactional
deposits and creating new opportunities for non-interest income. We also
continue to focus on improving overhead costs through continued consolidation of
the Company's operations. "
Net interest income increased to $1.6 million for the second quarter
ended September 30, 2000 compared to $1.5 million for the second quarter ended
September 30, 1999. The net interest margin decreased to 4.1% for the quarter
ended September 30, 2000 compared to 4.4% for the same period in 1999. Net
interest income increased $247,000 to $3.2 million for the six months ended
September 30, 2000 compared to $2.9 million for the same period in 1999. The net
interest margin decreased to 4.1% for the six months ended September 30, 2000
compared to 4.3% for the same period in 1999. The increase in net interest
income was due to an increase in interest income as a result of an increase in
the average volume of loans and the origination of higher yielding loans offset
by an increase in interest expense due to rising interest rates.
Non-interest income was $256,000 for the quarter ended September 30,
2000 compared to $214,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1999. Non-interest
income was $511,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2000 compared to
$405,000 for the six months ended September 30, 1999. Non-interest income
increased primarily due to an increase in fees and service charges on deposit
accounts. The increase in fees and service charges on deposits is the result of
increased product offerings, an increased deposit base and aggressive pricing
strategies.
Non-interest expense was $1.4 million for the quarter ended September
30, 2000 and 1999. Non-interest expense was $2.8 million for the six months
ended September 30, 2000 compared to $2.6 million for the same period in 1999.
Non-interest expenses increased primarily due to the cost of increased marketing
and advertising efforts of the Company.
Stockholders' equity was $19.6 million at September 30, 2000 compared
to $19.0 million at March 31, 2000.
Classic Bancshares, Inc. also announced that the Company will pay a
quarterly cash dividend of $.08 per share. The dividend will be payable on
November 13, 2000 to shareholders of record on October 30, 2000.
