Charter Financial Announces Third Quarter Fiscal 2014 Earnings of $1.8 Million


  • Total year to date average equity to average assets of 25.2%
  • Nonperforming non-covered assets at 0.62% of total non-covered assets as of June 30, 2014
  • Net non-covered organic loan growth of 13.3% over prior year quarter
  • Basic and diluted EPS of $0.09 for quarter, up $0.02, respectively, on a year-over-year basis
  • Tangible book value per share of $11.95 at June 30, 2014

WEST POINT, Ga., July 28, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Charter Financial Corporation (the "Company") (Nasdaq:CHFN) today reported net income of $1.8 million, or $0.09 per basic and diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, compared with $1.6 million, or $0.07 per basic and diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. The increase in net income was primarily attributable to an $834,000 negative loan loss provision on covered loans related to improved credit quality and workout experience, along with the absence of a non-covered loan loss provision in the 2014 third quarter versus $500,000 in the prior year quarter and a $573,000 increase in noninterest income. The increase was partially offset by a decline in net interest income of $1.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014. Net income for the nine months ended June 30, 2014, was $4.9 million, or $0.23 and $0.22 per basic and diluted share, respectively, compared with $5.3 million, or $0.26 per basic and diluted share, for the nine months ended June 30, 2013. The decrease in net income and earnings per share for the nine months ended June 30, 2014, was primarily the result of lower net purchase discount accretion, partially offset by reduced provision for loan losses due to improved credit quality and higher noninterest income.

Quarterly Operating Results

The improvement in reported quarterly earnings for the third quarter of fiscal 2014 compared with the third quarter of fiscal 2013 resulted primarily from the following items:

  • Recorded an $834,000 negative loan loss provision on covered loans.
  • Borrowing expense decreased $146,000, or 19.7%.
  • Deposit expense decreased by $211,000, or 21.1%.
  • The cost of deposits remained stable at 49 basis points for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 compared to 57 basis points for the quarter ended June 30, 2013.
  • Net interest margin excluding accretion and amortization of loss share receivable was 2.90% for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 compared with 2.75% the same quarter of 2013.
  • Noninterest income increased by $573,000, or 21.5%.
  • Deposit and bankcard fee income increased by a combined $455,000.
  • Recognized a net gain of $201,000 on the sale of securities available for sale.

The improvement was partially mitigated by the following items:

  • Loan interest income decreased $809,000 primarily due to a decrease in net accretion income.
  • The average yield on loans was 5.44% for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 compared to 6.83% for the quarter ended June 30, 2013.
  • Salaries and employee benefits increased by $509,000, primarily related to stock awards made during the 2014 fiscal year.
  • Noninterest expense and income tax expense increased by a combined $493,000.
  • Recorded a $248,000 loss on the write down of fixed assets associated with a branch to be closed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014.
  • The net cost of operations of real estate owned increased $110,000.

Chairman and CEO Robert L. Johnson said, "While economic activity remains slow in our markets we achieved modest loan growth. We increased net organic loans not covered by loss sharing by $31.7 million since September 30, 2013, and by $58.9 million from June 30, 2013. With the purchase discount accretion reductions in our covered loan portfolio and limited opportunity for loan growth, we will continue to face significant near-term earnings challenges. However, longer term, we remain optimistic in our ability to improve earnings."

Financial Condition

The Company's total assets were $1.0 billion at June 30, 2014, a decrease of $49.2 million from September 30, 2013. Net non-covered loans grew $40.3 million, or 8.6%, to $511.2 million at June 30, 2014, from $470.9 million at September 30, 2013. Of the $40.3 million in net non-covered loan growth, $8.6 million was a transfer of non-single family loans that are no longer covered by the FDIC due to the expiration of a non-single family loss sharing agreement. At June 30, 2014, $71.2 million of net loans receivable were covered by FDIC loss sharing, down from $109.0 million at September 30, 2013.

Total deposits were $729.6 million at June 30, 2014, compared with $751.3 million at September 30, 2013. Core deposits increased from $475.4 million at September 30, 2013, to $486.4 million at June 30, 2014, due primarily to an increase in transaction accounts.

Total stockholders' equity decreased to $243.4 million at June 30, 2014, compared to $273.8 million at September 30, 2013, due predominantly to the repurchase of shares during the two previous quarters.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income decreased to $7.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, from $8.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. Total interest income decreased to $9.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, compared to $10.7 million for the same quarter last year primarily as a result of a $1.3 million decrease in net accretion income. Interest expense was lower at $1.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, compared with $1.7 million for the same quarter of 2013, primarily as a result of lower expenses on certificates of deposit and borrowings.

The Company's net interest margin, excluding accretion and amortization of loss share receivable, was 2.90% for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, compared with 2.75% for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. Net interest margin, including the impact of loss share accounting, decreased to 3.26% for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, compared with 3.63% for the same quarter of 2013. The Company has excess cash that is invested in Fed Funds and thus provides an opportunity for earnings improvement as these funds can be deployed into loans and the repurchase of shares.

Provision for Loan Losses

The Company recorded no provision for loan losses on non-covered loans and a negative provision of $834,000 on covered loans for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, compared to a provision of $500,000 on non-covered loans and provision of $42,000 on covered loans for the same quarter in 2013. In the quarter ended June 30, 2014, the last quarter of the non-single family loss sharing agreement related to the Company's first FDIC-assisted acquisition, the Company successfully resolved several loss share assets resulting in the negative provision on covered loans.

Accounting for FDIC-Assisted Acquisitions

The Company reevaluates estimated losses quarterly on covered loans and foreclosed properties and the related FDIC indemnification asset. The Company has three and nine quarters, respectively, of loss sharing remaining on its second and third non-single family loss share agreements resulting from its FDIC-assisted acquisitions. At June 30, 2014, the Company had $71.2 million of total loans, net and $8.0 million of other real estate owned covered by loss share agreements, and is aggressively working to complete the resolution of the problem assets during the remaining loss share periods. The discount accretion included in interest income, net of amortization of FDIC indemnification asset overstatement relating to these assets acquired in the FDIC acquisitions, was $795,000 for the current quarter and $2.1 million in the same quarter last year. There is $6.0 million of discount remaining to accrete into interest income over the remaining life of all acquired loans with the accretion heavily weighted towards the early quarters. Additionally, there is an estimated $2.5 million overstatement of FDIC indemnification asset that will be amortized over the remaining life of the acquired loan pools or the agreement with the FDIC, whichever is shorter.

During the Company's quarterly reevaluation of cash flows on acquired loans, the Company improved its estimate of cash flows related to covered loans resulting in a transfer of $1.8 million from nonaccretable discount to accretable yield related to the McIntosh Commercial Bank and First National Bank of Florida agreements. In accordance with accounting guidance, the transferred amount will be accreted into income prospectively over the estimated remaining life of the loan pools. There was also a transfer of $1.2 million from Neighborhood Community Bank's allowance discount with $400,000 being transferred into the non-covered allowance and approximately $834,000 posted as a negative provision. Concurrently, an estimate of approximately $2.5 million which previously represented cash flows receivable from the FDIC and included in the FDIC receivable for loss sharing agreements on the balance sheet, will be amortized into interest income over the remaining life of the loan pools or the agreement with the FDIC, whichever is shorter.

Noninterest Income and Expense

Noninterest income increased $573,000 to $3.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, compared with $2.7 million for the same quarter in 2013, due primarily to an increase in bankcard and deposit fees as well as gains recognized on securities available for sale. The increase in noninterest income was partially offset by the write down of assets related to the planned closure of an underperforming bank branch in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 which will provide anticipated cost savings in future periods.

Noninterest expense increased to $9.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, compared to $8.8 million for the same quarter of 2013. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in stock benefits due to stock awards made in fiscal 2014.

Asset Quality

Asset quality remained strong with nonperforming assets not covered by loss sharing agreements at 0.62% of total non-covered assets and the allowance for loan losses at 1.65% of total non-covered loans and 192.06% of nonperforming non-covered loans at June 30, 2014. The Company's first commercial loss share agreement expired and resulted in a transfer to the non-covered allowance for loan losses of $400,000 and a negative provision of approximately $800,000 during the third quarter of fiscal 2014 due to improved workout experience and credit quality. The Company had net loan charge-offs of $225,000 on non-covered loans for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to net loan charge-offs of $665,000 on non-covered loans for the same period in 2013.

Capital Management

During the quarter ended June 30, 2014, the Company repurchased 2.6 million shares for approximately $29.0 million, or $10.96 per share.

Mr. Johnson said, "Since December 2013, we have completed two stock buyback programs, whereby the company repurchased a combined 2.8 million shares, or approximately 12% of our common stock, at a discount to tangible book value. Meanwhile, in June we announced the approval of a new stock buyback program for up to 2,030,000 shares, or approximately 10% of our outstanding shares, which allows us to continue our share repurchase. The Company's solid financial position affords us the ability to repurchase these shares which currently trade at a discount to tangible book value per share. We believe that this use of capital, along with our quarterly cash dividend, provides excellent stockholder value. We will also continue to consider acquisitions where the additional franchise value and earnings more than offset the book value dilution."

Due to the recognition of accretion income established at the time of acquisition, acquired loans that are greater than 90 days delinquent are regarded as accruing loans.
(4)  Covered loans contractually past due greater than ninety days are reported as accruing loans because of accretable discounts established at the time of acquisition.
