WEST POINT, Ga., Jan. 29, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Charter Financial Corporation (the "Company") (Nasdaq:CHFN) today reported net income of $1.7 million, or $0.10 per basic and diluted share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, compared with $1.6 million, or $0.07 per basic and diluted share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2013. The increase in net income was primarily attributable to lower noninterest expense and reduced provision for loan losses due to improved credit quality, partially offset by lower purchase discount accretion, net of amortization, of $520,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2014. Earnings per share for the quarter ended December 31, 2014 also benefited from a lower weighted average number of common shares outstanding as a result of the share repurchases made since December 2013.
Quarterly Operating Results
The improvement in reported quarterly earnings for the first quarter of fiscal 2015 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2014 resulted primarily from the following items:
- Deposit expense decreased by $152,000, or 17.2%.
- Borrowing expense decreased $48,000, or 7.4%.
- The cost of deposits decreased to 48 basis points for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, compared to 53 basis points for the quarter ended December 31, 2013.
- Net interest margin excluding accretion and amortization of loss share receivable was 3.14% for the quarter ended December 31, 2014 compared with 2.77% for the same quarter of fiscal 2014.
- No provision required for non-covered loans compared to $300,000 for the same quarter of fiscal 2014.
- Noninterest income, excluding a $1.1 million receipt due to a one time true-up of a contract in December 2013, increased by $570,000.
- Deposit and bankcard fee income increased by a combined $274,000.
- Gain on sale of loans and loan servicing release fees increased by $195,000.
- Legal and professional fees decreased by $313,000.
- Net cost of operations of real estate owned decreased by $346,000.
The improvement was partially mitigated by the following items:
- Net decrease to total interest income of $520,000 due to the impact of declining net purchase discount accretion and amortization.
- The average yield on loans was 5.14% for the quarter ended December 31, 2014 compared to 5.55% for the quarter ended December 31, 2013.
- Salaries and employee benefits expense increased by $313,000.
Chairman and CEO Robert L. Johnson said, "Core earnings continued to improve with $1.7 million in net income for the quarter despite $520,000 less of net discount accretion and amortization than the prior year quarter. We look forward to progressive revenue gains from growing the loan portfolio and non-interest income."
Financial Condition
The Company's total assets were $979.8 million at December 31, 2014, a decrease of $30.6 million from September 30, 2014, due predominantly to the reduction of cash and cash equivalents as a result of the Company's share repurchase programs. Net non-covered loans grew $24.0 million, or 4.5%, to $560.7 million at December 31, 2014, from $536.7 million at September 30, 2014. At December 31, 2014, $67.0 million of net loans receivable were covered by FDIC loss sharing, down from $69.6 million at September 30, 2014, due to the continued progress through the resolution process on loss share assets as well as the expired loss share agreement.
Mr. Johnson continued, "We have been through an extended period of slow economic growth in our markets but signs of expansion are now evident in most areas. For the seventh straight quarter we have seen growth in loans, net of loans acquired from failed banks that are covered by FDIC loss share agreements. Our net (organic) loan portfolio grew by $24.5 million, or 4.6%, during the quarter ended December 31, 2014, and by $76.5 million, or 16.0% year over year. Continued loan portfolio growth is clearly important to realizing increased profitability through higher operating and capital leverage."
Total deposits were $701.5 million at December 31, 2014, compared with $717.2 million at September 30, 2014 due primarily to a $12.8 million decrease in time deposits. Core deposits decreased from $486.2 million at September 30, 2014, to $483.3 million at December 31, 2014, due primarily to a decrease in transaction accounts.
Total stockholders' equity decreased to $213.2 million at December 31, 2014, compared to $225.0 million at September 30, 2014, due predominantly to $14.2 million of share repurchases during the first quarter of fiscal 2015.
Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
Net interest income decreased to $7.6 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, compared with $7.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2013. Interest income decreased by $289,000 due to lower average yields on loans and a decline in net discount accretion and amortization on acquired covered loans while interest expense decreased by $201,000 quarter over quarter primarily as a result of lower interest expense on certificates of deposit and borrowings. The Company's net interest margin, excluding the effects of purchase accounting, increased to 3.14% for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, compared with 2.77% for the quarter ended December 31, 2013. Net interest margin, including the impact of loss share accounting, increased to 3.47% for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, compared with 3.29% for the quarter ended December 31, 2013.
Provision for Loan Losses
The Company recorded no provision for loan losses on non-covered loans for the quarter ended December 31, 2014 due to an overall improvement in the non-covered loan portfolio compared to a provision of $300,000 for the same quarter in 2013. A provision of $4,000 was recorded on covered loans for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, compared to a provision of $2,000 for the same quarter in 2013.
Accounting for FDIC-Assisted Acquisitions
Mr. Johnson added, "We are in the stretch run of our non-single family loan loss sharing agreements with the FDIC covering three banks acquired with FDIC assistance. The first five year agreement ended last June, the second will end March 2015 and the last one has just 20 months left. The FDIC indemnification asset is down to $8.9 million indicating we are closing in on resolution of the acquired problem assets. We revise and evaluate the cash flows of the purchased loans to adjust the indemnification asset, discount accretion and amortization of the indemnification asset."
Under purchase accounting rules, the company currently projects remaining discount accretion of $5.7 million and $1.7 million in amortization netting to approximately $4.0 million of future pre-tax income impact.
Noninterest Income and Expense
The gain on sale of loans, bankcard fees and other deposit fees improved while overall noninterest income decreased from the prior year quarter due to the inclusion in the prior year quarter of a one time true-up receipt from the completion and renegotiation of a processing contract in the quarter ended December 31, 2013 in the amount of $1.1 million.
Noninterest expense for the quarter ended December 31, 2014 decreased $464,000 compared with the same period in fiscal 2014, primarily attributable to declines in net cost of real estate owned and legal and professional fees of $346,000 and $313,000, respectively. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in salaries and employee benefits.
Asset Quality
Asset quality remained strong with nonperforming assets not covered by loss sharing agreements decreasing to 0.48% of total non-covered assets and the allowance for loan losses at 1.49% of total non-covered loans and 254.47% of nonperforming non-covered loans at December 31, 2014. The Company had net loan recoveries of $21,000 on non-covered loans for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, compared to net loan recoveries of $5,000 on non-covered loans for the same period in fiscal 2014.
Capital Management
During the quarter ended December 31, 2014, the Company repurchased 1.3 million shares for approximately $14.2 million, or $10.95 per share.
Mr. Johnson said, "Since December 2013, we have completed three stock buyback programs, whereby the Company repurchased a combined 4.9 million shares at a discount to tangible book value. Additionally, through our current repurchase program announced in September 2014 for up to 1.8 million shares, we repurchased 1.3 million shares during the first quarter of fiscal 2015. Collectively, the 6.2 million shares repurchased, or approximately 27% of our common stock, were purchased at a combined discount to tangible book value of $8.1 million."
Mr. Johnson concluded, "We believe that our usage of cash to repurchase shares at a discount to tangible book value, along with our quarterly cash dividend, provides excellent stockholder value. In the coming quarters, we intend to organically grow our loan portfolio, improve profitability through the reduction of expenses, improve noninterest income, increase margins and explore the opportunity for accretive acquisitions."
