LSB Financial Corp. Announces Third Quarter Results,
Payment of Cash Dividend and Intention to Repurchase 5% of Outstanding Stock
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
LSB Financial Corp. (NASDAQ:LSBI), the parent company of Lafayette
Savings Bank, FSB, today reported for the quarter and nine month periods
ending September 30, 1996. Net income for the third quarter of 1996 was
$345,000, compared to $335,000 for the comparable period in 1995. Earnings
per share for the third quarter of 1996 were $0.41 compared to $0.35 for the
comparable period in 1995, an increase of 17.14%. Net income for the nine
month period was $532,000, as compared to $947,000 for the first nine months
of 1995. The nine month comparison is skewed by an unusual $800,000 provision
for loan losses taken in the second quarter of 1996, and by the receipt of a
$165,000 non-recurring state tax refund during this period in 1995. Net
interest income, a cleaner comparative measure of the Company's progress,
increased $182,000 or 14.75% during the third quarter of 1996 compared to the
same period in 1995. Net interest income for the first nine months of 1996
increased $725,000 or 20.79% over the first nine months of 1995. Net income
per share was $0.60 for the nine month period ending June 30, 1996. Further,
the Company announced today that it will pay a quarterly cash dividend of
$0.08 per share to shareholders of record as of November 11, 1996, with a
payment date of December 2, 1996. In addition, the Company announced its
intention to begin to repurchase 5% of its outstanding stock in the open
market.
LSB's total assets grew $18.9 million, from $159.0 at December 31, 1995
to $177.8 million at September 30, 1996 driven largely by an $23.6 million
increase in net loans over the same period.
Since the Bank, unlike most savings associations, is insured by the Bank
Insurance Fund (BIF) of the FDIC, it will not be subject to the one-time
assessment recently levied on members of the Savings Association Insurance
Fund (SAIF).
LSB President and CEO John W. Corey stated, "We are pleased with the
continued growth in earnings per share. This growth together with the
announced cash dividend and pending stock repurchase are parts of our
continuing efforts to maximize long-term shareholder value."
The closing market price of LSB stock on October 23, 1996, was $17.25
per share as reported by the NASDAQ stock market.
