DOWNINGTOWN, Pa., July 21, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DNB Financial Corporation (Nasdaq:DNBF) ("DNB"), parent of DNB First, National Association, the oldest National Bank in the greater Philadelphia region, reported a 36.01% increase in net income and a 70.82% increase in core earnings for the second quarter of 2011, compared to the same period in 2010. Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was $1.3 million compared to $947,000 for the same period in 2010. Earnings per common share for the second quarter of 2011 were $0.42 on a fully diluted basis compared to $0.30 for the same period in 2010.
Core earnings, which is a non-GAAP measure of net income excluding gains and losses on the sale of securities and prepayment penalties on FHLB advances, for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was $1.3 million compared to $754,000 for the same period in 2010. The Financial Statement section in this report includes a reconciliation of core earnings to the corresponding GAAP financial measure.
William S. Latoff, Chairman and CEO said, "Our increased revenues and lower costs have us well positioned to consistently generate higher core earnings. In addition, loan growth has been steady, the net interest margin continues to increase and non-interest expenses remain under control."
During the three months ended June 30, 2011, net interest income rose to $5.4 million, compared to $4.8 million for the same period in 2010. The increase was due to higher levels of average loan balances combined with a reduction in interest expense. The reduction in interest expense was due to lower rates on liabilities. The net interest margin for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was 3.65%, a 42 basis point increase over the same period in 2010.
Non-interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2011 increased $73,000 or 8.36% to $946,000 compared to the same period in 2010.
Non-interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2011 declined $54,000 or 1.30% compared to the same period in 2010. The decline can mainly be attributed to a decrease in FDIC insurance premiums and lower professional and consulting expenses offset by higher salaries and benefits and marketing costs.
Loan demand has remained steady through June 30, 2011 as loans grew 5.38% or $21.3 million compared to December 31, 2010. Total assets grew 4.59% or $27.7 million compared to December 31, 2010 and reflect the growth in loans, investment securities and cash and cash equivalents.
Deposits increased by $25.9 million or 5.25% to $518.6 million at June 30, 2011 compared to $492.7 million at December 31, 2010. Core deposits, i.e., demand deposits, money market accounts, NOW and savings accounts, increased $36.9 million in aggregate or 10.40%, while time deposits declined $11.0 million or 7.95%. DNB's composite cost of funds for the second quarter of 2011 dropped 40 basis points to 0.86% compared to 1.26% for the three months ended June 30, 2010.
Capital remained strong at the end of the second quarter of 2011, as DNB's tier 1 leverage ratio stood at 9.42% and its total risk-based capital ratio stood at 14.77%. Management feels that these levels of capital are appropriate for current market conditions. Stockholders' equity increased $3.5 million to $48.7 million at June 30, 2011 compared to $45.2 million at December 31, 2010, reflecting solid earnings growth.
Non-performing loans to total loans was 1.65% at June 30, 2011 down from 2.41% a year earlier and 1.82% at December 31, 2010. During the second quarter of 2011 and 2010, DNB provided $426,000 and $400,000 respectively, for credit losses. The allowance for credit losses was $6.4 million at June 30, 2011 compared to $5.9 million at December 31, 2010. This improved our coverage ratio, defined as the allowance for credit losses as a percentage of non-performing loans, from 81.46% on December 31, 2010 to 93.52% on June 30, 2011.
William J. Hieb, President and Chief Risk & Credit Officer said, "We are pleased that asset quality has remained sound throughout this economic downturn. We will continue to remain diligent in our efforts to maintain strict underwriting standards."
Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $2.3 million compared to $1.6 million for the same period in 2010. Earnings per common share for the first six months of 2011 were $0.69 on a fully diluted basis compared to $0.50 for the same period in 2010. Core earnings, defined above, improved to $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $1.3 million for the same period in 2010.
Chairman Latoff concluded, "At a time when dramatic changes have occurred in the national and local banking landscape, DNB remained steadfast in its commitment to our customers and communities. We will continue to exercise sound financial management so that as the oldest national bank in the greater Philadelphia region, we continue to be the premier community bank on which our customers rely."
