CORYDON, Ind., Jan. 29, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- First Capital, Inc. (Nasdaq:FCAP) (the "Company"), the holding company for First Harrison Bank (the "Bank"), today reported net income of $5.1 million, or $1.82 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2013, compared to net income of $3.9 million, or $1.41 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2012.
The increase in earnings is primarily due to increases in net interest income after provision for loan losses and noninterest income, and a decrease in noninterest expenses. Earnings for 2012 were negatively impacted by the Bank's voluntary early retirement program which resulted in a pre-tax charge to earnings of $693,000 during the quarter ended September 30, 2012. During the quarter ended December 31, 2012, the Bank recognized a pre-tax savings of $132,000 due to the lower salary and benefit expenses than would have been expensed without the early retirement program. Had the program not been implemented, the Company would have recognized net income of $4.3 million or $1.53 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2012.
Net interest income after provision for loan losses increased $1.2 million for 2013 as compared to 2012. Interest income decreased $389,000 when comparing the two periods as the average tax-equivalent yield of interest-earning assets decreased from 4.59% for 2012 to 4.46% for 2013. This was partially offset by an increase in the average balance in interest-earning assets from $421.8 million for 2012 to $426.6 million for 2013. Interest expense decreased $812,000 as the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased from 0.73% to 0.48% when comparing the two periods. The provision for loan losses decreased from $1.5 million for 2012 to $725,000 for 2013 primarily due to a decrease in net charge-offs from $971,000 during 2012 to $539,000 during 2013.
Noninterest income increased $103,000 for 2013 as compared to 2012. Service charges on deposit accounts and commission income increased by $158,000 and $135,000, respectively, when comparing the two periods. These increases were partially offset by a $203,000 decrease in gains on the sale of loans primarily due to a decrease in sales activity during the quarter ended December 31, 2013 as a result of higher interest rates.
Noninterest expenses decreased $522,000 for 2013 compared to 2012 primarily due to a decrease of $764,000 in compensation and benefits expense. The decrease in compensation and benefits expense was primarily due to the previously discussed voluntary early retirement program in 2012. This decrease was partially offset by increases in data processing fees and other operating expenses of $134,000 and $113,000, respectively.
The Company's net income was $1.2 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, for both the quarters ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.
Net interest income after provision for loan losses increased $391,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2013 as compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2012. Interest income decreased $49,000 when comparing the two periods as a result of a decrease in the average balance of interest-earning assets from $436.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2012 to $423.5 million for the same period in 2013, partially offset by an increase in the average tax-equivalent yield of interest-earning assets from 4.42% for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 to 4.53% for the same period in 2013. Interest expense decreased $190,000 as the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased from 0.61% to 0.41% and the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities decreased from $352.7 million to $336.0 million when comparing the two periods. The provision for loan losses decreased $250,000 when comparing the two periods from $400,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 to $150,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2013 primarily due to a decrease in net charge-offs from $255,000 for 2012 to $132,000 for 2013.
Noninterest income decreased $157,000 when comparing the quarter ended December 31, 2013 to the quarter ended December 31, 2012, primarily due to a decrease of $166,000 in gains on loans sold.
Noninterest expenses increased $256,000 when comparing the quarter ended December 31, 2013 to the quarter ended December 31, 2012, primarily due to increases of $175,000 and $72,000 in compensation and benefits expense and other operating expenses, respectively.
Total assets as of December 31, 2013 were $444.4 million compared to $459.1 million at December 31, 2012. Securities available for sale and cash and cash equivalents decreased $14.2 million and $10.7 million, respectively, while net loans receivable increased by $8.1 million during 2013. Deposits and retail repurchase agreements decreased $10.5 million and $4.8 million, respectively, during 2013.
