Clarkston Financial Corporation Reports 2013 Q1 Results


CLARKSTON, Mich., April 24, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Clarkston Financial Corporation ("Corporation") (OTCBB:CKFC), the holding company for Clarkston State Bank ("Bank"), today reported a net income of $99,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to net loss of $51,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011.

J. Grant Smith, CEO, said, "The Bank continues to make great financial progress as noted in the attached financial information. The net interest margin continues to hold steady despite the difficult interest rate environment. In addition, the asset quality metrics continue to improve and are now stabilized. Moreover, we are seeing a decrease in defaulted loan expense further reducing operating expenses associated with problem loans. These improved operating metrics are having a very positive effect on our bottom line financial results. We have an experienced team in place with a strong work ethic and we expect the positive financial performance to continue."

Operating Results

The Corporation's net interest income remained steady at $1,168,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 compared to $1,169,000 for the same period ended March 31, 2012. The net interest margin of the Bank showed a modest decrease, ending at 4.64% for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, down from 4.78% for the quarter ended March 31, 2012. This decrease in net interest margin is representative of decreased yields on new loans as competition for quality loans increases.

Noninterest income had a slight decrease in the first quarter 2013, due to security gains recognized in 2012. The quarter ended at $211,000 compared to $217,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, a decrease of $6,000 or 2.76%. Noninterest expense decreased, ending the first quarter 2013 at $1,249,000 compared to $1,290,000 for the same period ended March 31, 2011, a decrease of $41,000 or 3.18%. The decrease represents a decline in the expense related to troubled loans, another sign of the strengthen asset quality position.

Balance Sheet

Total assets at March 31, 2013 were $119,244,000 compared to $121,285,000 at March 31, 2012, a decrease of $2,041,000 or 1.68%. The decline in total assets represents a decrease in cash as a result of a reduction in interest bearing deposits, specifically certificates of deposits.

Total loans increased $5,043,000 from $92,482,000 at March 31, 2012 to $97,525,000 at March 31, 2013, an increase of 5.45%. Total deposits decreased $3,770,000 or 3.37%, ending at $108,014,000 for March 31, 2013, down from $111,784,000 at March 31, 2011. Total stockholders' equity increased from $3,952,000 at March 31, 2012 to $5,558,000 at March 31, 2013, an increase of $1,706,000 or 43.17%. This increase is due to the net income in 2012 and the first quarter of 2013.

Total non-performing loans decreased to $754,000 at March 31, 2013 compared to $1,964,000 from the same period 2012, a decrease of $1,210,000, or 61.61%.
