OmniAmerican Bancorp, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2013 Earnings


FORT WORTH, Texas, May 1, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- OmniAmerican Bancorp, Inc. (Nasdaq:OABC), the holding company for OmniAmerican Bank, today announced earnings for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. The financial information contained herein at and for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 is unaudited.

First Quarter 2013 Highlights

  • OABC reported net income for the first quarter of 2013 of $1.9 million. This is an increase of $1.1 million, or 140.7 percent, over the net income for the first quarter of 2012 of $803,000. On a per-share basis, first quarter 2013 earnings were $0.18 per diluted share, an increase of $0.10, or 125.0 percent, compared to $0.08 per diluted share reported in the first quarter of 2012.
     
  • For the first quarter of 2013, annualized returns on average stockholders' equity and average assets were 3.75 percent and 0.61 percent, respectively, compared to 1.60 percent and 0.24 percent for the first quarter of 2012.
     
  • The primary contributors to the increase in net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2012 were an increase in noninterest income of $2.4 million anda decrease in the provision for loan losses of $900,000. The increase in noninterest income was primarily due to a $1.7 million increase in gains on sales of investments and a $467,000 increase in gains on sales of loans. The decrease in the provision for loan losses was primarily due to a $1.1 million decrease in net charge-offs. The increases in net income were partially offset by a decrease in net interest income of $1.0 million and an increase in income tax expense of $708,000.
     
  • Total assets for OABC increased $19.2 million, or 1.5 percent, to $1.28 billion at March 31, 2013 from $1.26 billion at December 31, 2012, primarily due to a $17.3 million increase in securities classified as available for sale, a $10.3 million increase in bank-owned life insurance, and a $5.2 million increase in loans, net of the allowance for loan losses and deferred fees and discounts, partially offset by a $6.9 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents and a $6.7 million decrease in loans held for sale.

"We are very pleased with OmniAmerican's performance during the first quarter of 2013," said Tim Carter, president and CEO of OmniAmerican Bank. "While we continue to become more efficient, we are seeing positive results from our emphasis on growth through the expansion of services to our existing customers and the multiplicity of services we offer as a community bank.  This is especially true of our progress in the commercial banking arena.  OmniAmerican is in tune with, and focused on, the services which customers need from their financial institutions."

Financial Condition as of March 31, 2013 Compared with December 31, 2012

Total assets increased $19.2 million, or 1.5 percent, to $1.28 billion at March 31, 2013 from $1.26 billion at December 31, 2012, primarily due to a $17.3 million increase in securities available for sale, a $10.3 million increase in bank-owned life insurance, and a $5.2 million increase in loans, net of the allowance for loan losses and deferred fees and discounts, partially offset by a $6.9 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents and a $6.7 million decrease in loans held for sale. 

Cash and cash equivalents decreased $6.9 million, or 28.7 percent, to $17.0 million at March 31, 2013 from $23.9 million at December 31, 2012, primarily due to $98.0 million in cash used to purchase investment securities available for sale, $96.6 million in cash used to originate loans, $80.0 million in cash used to repay Federal Home Loan Bank advances, $11.0 million in cash used to repay overnight borrowings, $10.0 million in cash used to purchase bank-owned life insurance, and $6.0 million in cash used to repay repurchase agreements. These decreases were partially offset by increases due to $105.0 million in cash received from Federal Home Loan Bank advances, $71.3 million in cash received from loan principal repayments, $46.2 million in proceeds from the sales of securities available for sale, $32.1 million in proceeds from principal repayments and maturities of securities, $26.9 million in proceeds from the sales of loans, and $10.4 million in cash from the net increase in deposits.

Loans held for sale decreased $6.7 million, or 75.8 percent to $2.1 million at March 31, 2013 from $8.8 million at December 31, 2012, primarily due to sales of loans held for sale of $26.3 million, partially offset by originations of loans held for sale of $19.6 million.

Securities classified as available for sale increased $17.3 million, or 4.5 percent, to $401.2 million at March 31, 2013 from $383.9 million at December 31, 2012. The increase in securities classified as available for sale is primarily attributable to purchases of securities available for sale of $98.0 million, partially offset by decreases due to the sales of securities available for sale of $44.5 million, principal repayments and maturities of $32.1 million, and amortization of net premiums on investments of $934,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2013.

Loans, net of the allowance for loan losses and deferred fees and discounts, increased $5.2 million, or 0.7 percent, to $740.5 million at March 31, 2013 from $735.3 million at December 31, 2012. The increase in loans included an $8.5 million increase in automobile loans and a $3.0 million increase in real estate construction loans, partially offset by a $3.8 million decrease in one- to four-family residential real estate loans, a $1.4 million decrease in commercial real estate loans, a $637,000 decrease in commercial business loans, and a $543,000 decrease in other consumer loans.

Bank-owned life insurance increased $10.3 million, or 32.1 percent, to $42.5 million at March 31, 2013 from $32.2 million at December 31, 2012, primarily due to the purchase of an additional $10.0 million of life insurance policies on certain key employees during the quarter ended March 31, 2013.

Deposits increased $10.4 million, or 1.3 percent, to $826.7 million at March 31, 2013 from $816.3 million at December 31, 2012. The increase was primarily due to increases in interest-bearing demand deposits of $8.1 million, noninterest-bearing demand deposits of $6.2 million, and savings deposits of $807,000, partially offset by decreases in money market deposits of $3.6 million and certificates of deposit of $1.1 million. The increase in demand deposits was primarily due to increases in the balances in our consumer deposit accounts. The decrease in certificates of deposit was primarily due to certificates of deposit that matured and were not renewed.

Federal Home Loan Bank advances increased $25.0 million, or 12.1 percent, to $232.0 million at March 31, 2013 from $207.0 million at December 31, 2012. The increase in Federal Home Loan Bank advances was attributable to advances of $105.0 million, partially offset by scheduled maturities of $80.0 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2013. Other borrowings decreased $17.0 million, or 89.5 percent, to $2.0 million at March 31, 2013 from $19.0 million at December 31, 2012, primarily due to an $11.0 million repayment of overnight borrowings during the quarter ended March 31, 2013 and the maturity and repayment of repurchase agreements totaling $6.0 million in January 2013.

Stockholders' equity increased $513,000, or 0.2 percent, to $206.1 million at March 31, 2013 from $205.6 million at December 31, 2012. The increase in stockholders' equity was primarily due to net income of $1.9 million, share-based compensation expense of $395,000, and ESOP compensation expense of $242,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. These increases were partially offset by a decrease due to other comprehensive losses of $2.1 million, primarily due to the sale of $44.5 million in investment securities that resulted in a realized gain of $1.7 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2013.

Asset Quality as of March 31, 2013 Compared with December 31, 2012

Non-performing assets increased $233,000, or 1.8 percent, to $13.3 million, or 1.04 percent of total assets, as of March 31, 2013, from $13.0 million, or 1.04 percent of total assets, as of December 31, 2012, primarily due to an increase of $533,000 in loans on nonaccrual status, partially offset by a decrease of $244,000 in other real estate owned. The decrease in other real estate owned resulted primarily from sales of other real estate owned properties totaling $282,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2013.

Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2013 Compared with the Three Months Ended March 31, 2012

Net income increased $1.1 million, or 140.7 percent, to $1.9 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 from $803,000, or $0.08 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2012.

Net interest income decreased $1.0 million, or 10.0 percent, to $9.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 from $10.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, primarily due to a decrease in the average yield on interest-earning assets, partially offset by a decrease in the average balance and average rates of interest-bearing liabilities. Total interest income decreased $2.0 million, or 15.3 percent, to $11.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 from $13.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, primarily due to a 35 basis point decrease in the average yield on interest-earning assets and a 7.5 percent decrease in the average balance of interest-earning assets. Total interest expense decreased $1.0 million, or 32.4 percent, to $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 from $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, primarily due to a 8.9 percent decrease in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities and a 30 basis point decrease in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities.

The provision for loan losses decreased $900,000, or 64.3 percent, to $500,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 from $1.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2012. The provision for loan losses is charged to operations to bring the allowance for loan losses to a level that reflects management's best estimate of the losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses to total loans receivable ratio decreased to 0.93 percent at March 31, 2013 from 1.08 percent at March 31, 2012. Net charge-offs decreased $1.1 million, to $478,000, or 0.26 percent of average loans outstanding, for the three months ended March 31, 2013 from $1.6 million, or 0.89 percent of average loans outstanding, for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Noninterest income increased $2.4 million, or 68.3 percent, to $5.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 from $3.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, primarily due to increases in gains on sales of securities available for sale of $1.7 million, gains on sales of loans of $467,000, and gains on sales of premises and equipment of $344,000. The increase in gains on sales of investment securities is attributable to sales of $44.5 million of investment securities in the first quarter of 2013. No sales of investment securities occurred during the first quarter of 2012. The increase in gains on sales of loans resulted primarily from increased sales of mortgage loans as the Company began selling a portion of its fixed-rate one- to four-family residential real estate loans with terms of 15 to 25 years during the second half of 2012. The increase in gains on sales of premises and equipment resulted primarily from the sale of land adjacent to one of our branch locations during the quarter ended March 31, 2013.

Noninterest expense increased $445,000, or 4.1 percent, to $11.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 from $10.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, primarily due to a $630,000 increase in salaries and benefits expense, partially offset by a $240,000 decrease in the net loss on write-down of other real estate owned. The increase in salaries and benefits expense was due primarily to a $272,000 increase in salaries expense due in part to annual salary increases implemented at the beginning of 2013, a $134,000 increase in health insurance expense due to unfavorable medical claims experience, and a $126,000 increase in equity incentive plan expenses. In addition, salaries expense for the first quarter of 2013 included $120,000 of severance payments as we trimmed our workforce in response to earnings pressures resulting from the current challenging regulatory and rate environment. The decrease in the net loss on write-down of other real estate owned expense resulted primarily from four properties that were written down for a total of $240,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2012 while none of our other real estate owned properties were written down during the quarter ended March 31, 2013.
