CLARKSTON, Mich., Feb. 19, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Clarkston Financial Corporation ("Corporation") (OTCBB:CKFC), the holding company for Clarkston State Bank ("Bank"), today reported a net income of $5,016,000 or $1.55 per share for the three months ended December 31, 2013, compared to net income of $1,258,000 or $0.39 per share for the three months ended December 31, 2012.

We are very proud of our team and we look forward to expanding our market share through deposit and loan opportunities."

Operating Results

The Corporation's net interest income increased to $1,320,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2013 compared to $1,168,000 for the same period ended December 31, 2012. This represents a 13.02% increase over the prior year. The net interest margin of the Bank displayed growth, ending at 4.87% for the quarter ended December 31, 2013, up from 4.65% for the quarter ended December 31, 2012.    

Noninterest income had a decrease in the fourth quarter 2013, due to the write down of one of the Bank's two remaining other real estate owned properties.  The quarter ended at $92,000 compared to $220,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2012, a decrease of $128,000 or 51.16%. Adjusted for the write down on the other real estate owned property, noninterest income would have been $322,000. Noninterest expense continued to decline year over year, ending the fourth quarter 2013 at $1,423,000 compared to $1,585,000 for the same period ended December 31, 2012, a decrease of $162,000 or 10.23%. The decrease represents a decline in the expense related to troubled loans among other operating expenses.
