TFS Financial Corporation's Earnings Highest Since 2007 IPO

Earns Nearly $66 Million, Most Since S&L Went Public


CLEVELAND, Oct. 29, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TFS Financial Corporation (Nasdaq:TFSL) (the "Company"), the holding company for Third Federal Savings and Loan Association of Cleveland (the "Association"), today announced results for the three months and fiscal year ended September 30, 2014.

The Company reported net income of $65.9 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014, compared to net income of $56.0 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013. The increase in net income for the fiscal year is primarily the result of a decrease in the provision for loan losses, but also impacted by an increase in net interest income and a decrease in non-interest expenses, partially offset by a lower gain on the sale of loans. The Company reported net income of $15.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, compared to net income of $15.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2013, with no significant individual variances between the two periods.

"This has been a year full of sunshine and blue skies for Third Federal," said Marc A. Stefanski, chairman and CEO. "We're proud to announce our highest annual earnings since becoming a public company in 2007. We have also remained focused on our three-dimensional approach of adding value for our shareholders. We have reinstated our dividend, grown the balance sheet, and are actively buying back our stock. Thanks to our associates for their hard work, our customers for their loyalty, and our shareholders and communities for their ongoing support. We look forward to continued success and sunny skies in the future."

Net interest income was slightly higher for both the quarter and fiscal year ended September 30, 2014, as compared to the corresponding prior year period. The average cost of our interest-bearing liabilities has been reduced by managing retail deposit pricing and gathering additional funds as needed via wholesale channels. On a fiscal year basis, the lower interest expense, resulting from lower interest rates on deposits and a shift to more borrowed funds, was partially offset by lower interest income due to lower yields on interest-earning assets. Continuing the trend of the past few fiscal years, while overall net interest income has increased, both current year interest income and expense were lower than the prior year. However, on a quarterly basis, while net interest income was still higher in the current period, both interest income and expense were higher in the quarter ended September 30, 2014 than the quarter ended September 30, 2013. Net interest income was $66.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 and $66.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2013. Net interest income increased $2.8 million, or 1.1%, to $271.4 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014 from $268.6 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013. The interest rate spread was 2.16% for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 and 2.24% for the quarter ended September 30, 2013, as an increase in longer duration FHLB advances improved our interest rate risk characteristics, but tempered the decline in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities. The interest rate spread for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014 was 2.26% compared to 2.25% last fiscal year. The net interest margin for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 was 2.34% compared to 2.43% for the quarter ended September 30, 2013. The net interest margin for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014 was 2.42% as compared to 2.46% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013.

The Company continues to experience improving loan performance metrics, resulting in a lower provision for loan losses and net charge-offs for this fiscal year compared to last year. The Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $19.0 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014 compared to $37.0 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013. The Company reported $30.2 million of net loan charge-offs for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014 compared to $44.9 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013. Of the $30.2 million of net charge-offs in the current fiscal year, $13.5 million occurred in the residential core portfolio (first mortgage loans other than the Home Today portfolio), $11.0 million occurred in the equity loans and lines of credit portfolio and $5.7 million occurred in the Home Today portfolio. The allowance for loan losses was $81.4 million, or 0.76% of total loans receivable, at September 30, 2014, compared to $92.5 million, or 0.91% of total loans receivable, at September 30, 2013. The Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $4.0 million for both of the three month periods ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013. The Company reported $5.1 million of net loan charge-offs for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $8.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013. Of the $5.1 million of net charge-offs, $2.3 million occurred in the residential core portfolio, $2.0 million occurred in the equity loans and lines of credit portfolio and $0.9 million occurred in the Home Today portfolio. The Home Today portfolio, which essentially has been in run-off mode status since 2009, totaled $154.2 million at September 30, 2014 and $178.4 million at September 30, 2013.

Non-accrual loans decreased $20.3 million to $135.5 million, or 1.27% of total loans, at September 30, 2014 from $155.8 million, or 1.53% of total loans, at September 30, 2013. The $20.3 million decrease in non-accrual loans for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014 consisted of a $11.7 million decrease in the residential core portfolio; a $4.9 million decrease in the Home Today portfolio; and a $3.8 million decrease in the equity loans and lines of credit portfolio.

Total loan delinquencies decreased $41.0 million to $93.0 million, or 0.87% of total loans receivable, at September 30, 2014 from $134.0 million, or 1.31% of total loans receivable, at September 30, 2013.

Total troubled debt restructurings decreased $15.3 million at September 30, 2014, to $186.4 million from $201.7 million at September 30, 2013. Of the $186.4 million of troubled debt restructurings recorded at September 30, 2014, $60.1 million was in the Home Today portfolio, $105.6 million was in the residential core portfolio and $20.7 million was in the equity loans and lines of credit portfolio. The portion of total troubled debt restructurings included as part of non-accrual loans was $79.5 million at September 30, 2014 and $84.9 million at September 30, 2013.

Total non-interest expenses decreased $2.2 million to $175.5 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014 from $177.7 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013, with decreases in other operating expenses and federal insurance premiums and assessments being partially offset by increases in compensation, marketing and real estate owned expenses.

Total assets increased by $541.4 million, or 5%, to $11.81 billion at September 30, 2014 from $11.27 billion at September 30, 2013. This change was mainly the result of new loan origination levels exceeding the total of loan sales and principal repayments.

While the combination of cash and cash equivalents and investment securities essentially remained the same, with balances of $750.3 million at September 30, 2014 and $763.4 million at September 30, 2013, a shift from cash equivalents to investment securities improved the interest yield on those assets.

The combination of loans held for investment, net and mortgage loans held for sale increased $547.4 million, or 5%, to $10.64 billion at September 30, 2014 from $10.09 billion at September 30, 2013. Residential core mortgage loans, including those held for sale, increased $711.1 million during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014, while the equity loans and lines of credit portfolio decreased $161.5 million. While still maintaining a physical presence in only Ohio and Florida, as a result of the Company's new state expansion through the use of internet, customer service calls and direct mail marketing, the Company now originates first mortgage loans and home equity loan products in 21 states and the District of Columbia. Total first mortgage loan originations were $2.12 billion for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014, of which 39% were adjustable rate mortgages and 40% were fixed-rate mortgages with terms of 10 years or less. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014, loan sales of $76.0 million were completed, consisting of $51.3 million of first mortgage loan originations to Fannie Mae and $24.7 million of fixed rate loans that qualified under Fannie Mae's Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP II). Net gain on the sale of these loans was $2.0 million. Current year loan sales were less than the previous year due to the strategic decision to not sell whole loans to private investors, as was done the previous year. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013, loan sales of $349.2 million were completed, consisting of $72.4 million of fixed rate loans that qualified under Fannie Mae's HARP II, $148.7 million of fixed rate non-agency whole loans and $128.1 million of variable rate loans. Net gain on the sale of these loans was $8.3 million.

Deposits increased $189.4 million, or 2%, to $8.65 billion at September 30, 2014 from $8.46 billion at September 30, 2013. The increase in deposits was the result of a $147.0 million decrease in our savings accounts, a $37.0 million decrease in our checking accounts and a $373.4 million increase in our CDs and accrued interest for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014. To manage our interest costs and to fund the growth in assets, a combination of CDs and borrowed funds from the FHLB were used. Total deposits include $356.7 million and $13.0 million of brokered CDs at September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013, respectively. The brokered CDs at September 30, 2014 had average original funding terms of 52 months.

Borrowed funds, all from the FHLB, increased $393.5 million, to $1.14 billion at September 30, 2014 from $745.1 million at September 30, 2013. This increase reflects a combination of an additional $450.0 million of mainly four- to five- year term advances offset by a combination of $6.0 million of lower overnight advances and other principal repayments, as asset growth and stock repurchases led to increased cash demands during the period. To facilitate the increase in FHLB borrowings, an additional $4.8 million of FHLB stock was purchased during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014.

Principal, interest and related escrow on loans serviced decreased $21.1 million, to $54.7 million at September 30, 2014 from $75.7 million at September 30, 2013. This change primarily reflects the impact of a lower balance in the sold loan portfolio, which was $2.51 billion at September 30, 2014, compared to $2.97 billion at September 30, 2013.

Total shareholders' equity decreased $32.0 million to $1.84 billion at September 30, 2014 from $1.87 billion at September 30, 2013. Activity reflects $65.9 million of net income in the current fiscal year reduced by $103.1 million of repurchases of outstanding common stock (including $34.8 million in the current quarter), a quarterly dividend of $4.9 million, and a combination of adjustments related to our stock compensation plan, ESOP and accumulated other comprehensive loss. During the quarter ended September 30, 2014, the Company's fifth stock repurchase program was completed and the sixth stock repurchase program, which allows for the purchase of 10,000,000 additional shares, was established. During the quarter ended September 30, 2014, a total of 2,470,000 shares were repurchased at an average cost of $14.09 per share. A total of 7,770,300 shares were repurchased at an average cost of $13.27 per share during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014. At September 30, 2014, there were 9,385,950 shares remaining to be purchased under the sixth repurchase program. The Company declared and paid a quarterly dividend of $0.07 per share during the quarter ended September 30, 2014, which was the first quarterly dividend paid since May, 2010. As a result of a July 31, 2014 mutual member vote, Third Federal Savings and Loan Association of Cleveland, MHC (the "MHC"), the mutual holding company that owns 75% of the outstanding stock of the Company, waived the receipt of its share of the dividend paid, and is expected to waive its right to receive up to a total of $0.21 per share of future quarterly dividends from the Company prior to July 31, 2015.

At September 30, 2014, all capital ratios substantially exceed the amounts required for the Association to be considered "well capitalized" for regulatory capital purposes. The tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 21.80% and the total risk-based capital was 22.92% for the Association. The Association's current capital ratios are lower than its ratios at September 30, 2013 (22.85% tier 1 risk-based capital ratio and 24.10% total risk-based capital ratio), due to an $85 million cash dividend payment that the Association made to the Company, its sole shareholder, on December 27, 2013. Because of its intercompany nature, this dividend payment had no impact on the Company's capital ratios or its consolidated statement of condition. Additionally, the tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 25.23% and the total risk-based capital was 26.34% for the Company.

The Company will host a conference call to discuss its operating results for the three month and fiscal year period ended September 30, 2014 at 3:00 p.m. (ET) on Thursday, October 30, 2014. The toll-free dial-in number is 866-952-1907, Conference ID TFSLQ414. A telephone replay will be available beginning at 5:00 p.m. (ET) on October 30, 2014 by dialing 800-695-2533.
