FPB Financial Corp. Announces Record Earnings for 2007 and Declares Dividends


HAMMOND, LA--(Marketwire - January 24, 2008) - FPB Financial Corp. (PINKSHEETS: FPBF), the holding company for Florida Parishes Bank, announced record earnings for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Net income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007 was $1,148,000 ($3.64 per common share; $3.49 per diluted common share), up 23.6% from $929,000 ($3.53 per common share; $3.35 per diluted common share), for the 2006 comparable period. Net income for the three months ended December 31, 2007 was $223,000 ($0.66 per common share; $0.63 per diluted common share), down 20.9% from $282,000 ($1.06 per common share; $1.01 per diluted common share), for the 2006 comparable period.

Earnings for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2007 were positively affected by a $189,000 or 15.1% increase in net interest income for the quarter and a $791,000 or 17.4% increase for the twelve month period. Non-interest income increased by 1.5% to $491,000 for the quarter and by 40.3% to $2,073,000 for the twelve month period compared to the 2006 results. The increased non-interest income for the twelve months was primarily due to increased revenue from deposit service charges and fees, mortgage banking, interchange fees, and gains on sale of investments. Non-interest income was reduced for the fourth quarter and twelve month period by a loss on trading accounts, primarily from a mutual fund investment in high yield corporate debt securities and a 22.5% decrease for the quarter in mortgage banking income. Earnings were affected by a 25.3% increase for the quarter and a 24.0% increase for the twelve months in non-interest expenses, primarily compensation expense, occupancy and equipment, and other expense. Provisions for loan losses decreased by 18.2% for the quarter and increased by 8.4% for the year, compared to the 2006 periods.

Stockholders equity increased by 42.4% primarily due to the issuance of 69,530 shares of common stock at $38.00 per share in a private placement offering which closed April 30, 2007.

FPB Financial Corp. announced on October 18, 2007 the execution of a definitive agreement to sell on or before January 10, 2008 a parcel of real estate and recognize an after tax gain of approximately $450,000. As of this date, the proposed sale has not been completed and no assurance can be given as to when or if this proposed sale will be completed.
