CLARKSTON, Mich., Feb. 29, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Clarkston Financial Corporation ("Corporation") (OTCBB:CKFC), the holding company for Clarkston State Bank ("Bank"), today reported a net loss of $3,554,000 or $(0.44) per basic and diluted common share for the three months ended December 31, 2011, compared to net income of $36,000 or $0.06 per share for the three months ended December 31, 2010. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2011, the corporation reported a net loss of $3,654,000 or ($0.14) per share compared to a net loss of $1,330,000 or $(0.60) per share for the same period in 2010.
J. Grant Smith, CEO, said, "Despite the loss that was necessary in the fourth quarter the balance sheet is beginning to stabilize. Our nonaccrual loans and delinquency continues to decline and our core profitability is rising. Our net interest income continues to improve and although noninterest expense is still high we expect it to decline throughout 2012. Our team continues to work very hard and we remain optimistic as business conditions show signs of improving."
Operating Results
The Corporation's net interest income was $1,244,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 compared to $1,004,000 for the same period ended December 31, 2010, an increase of $240,000 or 23.90%. The net interest margin of the Bank showed a significant increase, ending at 4.85% for the quarter ended December 31, 2011, up from 4.21% for the quarter ended December 31, 2010. This increase in net interest margin is representative of a decrease in the reversal of accrued interest on loans placed onto nonaccrual during the quarter and a lower cost of funds.
Noninterest income decreased in the fourth quarter 2011 due to write downs of other real estate owned of $876,000, ending at a loss of $714,000 compared to income of $173,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2010, a decrease of $887,000 or 512.72%. Noninterest expense increased, ending the fourth quarter 2011 at $1,500,000 compared to $1,140,000 for the same period ended December 31, 2010. This represents an increase of $360,000 or 31.58%. This increase is a direct result of higher tax costs related to defaulted loans.
