Clarkston Financial Corporation Reports 2014 Q1 Results


CLARKSTON, Mich., April 16, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Clarkston Financial Corporation ("Corporation") (OTCBB:CKFC), the holding company for Clarkston State Bank ("Bank"), today reported a net income of $280,000 or $0.09 per share for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to net income of $99,000 or $0.03 per share for the three months ended March 31, 2013. This represents an increase of $181,000 or 182.83% year over year.

J. Grant Smith, CEO, said, "Our financial performance continues to improve with each passing quarter. Our asset quality metrics compare very favorably to our peer group and our net interest margin ranks as one of the best in Southeast Michigan. Although new loan originations were flat in the first quarter, the Bank has a nice pipeline of business and we expect to see additional loan growth in the second and third quarters. Deposit growth and more importantly deposit mix remains a major focus of our management team. We expect our operating performance to gain further momentum as we grow through the remainder of the year."

Operating Results

The Corporation's net interest income increased to $1,330,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 compared to $1,168,000 for the same period ended March 31, 2013, an increase of $162,000 or 13.87%. The net interest margin of the Bank has continued to rise, ending at 5.03% for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, up from 4.64% for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. This increase in net interest margin is representative of increased noninterest bearing demand deposit balances and reduced interest bearing deposit balances.

Noninterest income also increased in the first quarter 2014. The quarter ended at $278,000 compared to $211,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, an increase of $67,000 or 31.75%. Noninterest expense increased, ending the first quarter 2014 at $1,328,000 compared to $1,249,000 for the same period ended March 31, 2013, an increase of $79,000 or 6.33%.

Balance Sheet

Total assets at March 31, 2014 were $132,990,000 compared to $119,244,000 at March 31, 2013, an increase of $13,746,000 or 11.53%. The increase in total assets represents an increase in cash as a result of an increase in noninterest bearing demand deposits.

Total loans increased $7,621,000 from $97,525,000 at March 31, 2013 to $105,146,000 at March 31, 2014, an increase of 7.81%. Total deposits increased $7,484,000 or 6.93%, ending at $115,498,000 for March 31, 2014, up from $108,014,000 at March 31, 2013. Total stockholders' equity increased from $5,558,000 at March 31, 2013 to $11,311,000 at March 31, 2014, an increase of $5,753,000 or 103.51%. This increase is due to net income in 2013 and the first quarter of 2014. The net income in 2013 was largely driven by the reversal of a portion of the valuation allowance against deferred tax assets.

Asset Quality

Total non-performing loans decreased to $144,000 at March 31, 2014 compared to $754,000 from the same period in 2013, a decrease of $610,000, or 80.90%. The allowance for loan loss decreased to 1.73% of total loans as of March 31, 2014, compared to 2.55% for the same period in 2013. Management continually monitors the allowance for loan loss to determine its adequacy.

Clarkston State Bank opened in January 1999 and operates four branches in Clarkston, Waterford, and Independence Township, Michigan.
