FPB Financial Corp. Announces 2010 First Quarter Earnings and Declares Dividends


HAMMOND, LA--(Marketwire - April 22, 2010) - FPB Financial Corp. (PINKSHEETS: FPBF), the holding company for Florida Parishes Bank, announced earnings for the quarter ended March 31, 2010.

Net income available to common shareholders for the three month period ending March 31, 2010 increased 234.2% to $536,000; ($1.46 diluted available earnings per common share) compared to $160,000 ($0.45 diluted available earnings per common share) in the 2009 period.

Earnings for the quarter were positively affected by an increase in net interest income of $256,000, provisions for loan losses declined by $110,000, a decrease in total non-interest expenses of $108,000, and an increase in non-interest income of $57,000 as compared to the first quarter of 2009.

Net interest income in the quarter increased 15.4% primarily due to our net interest margin increasing to 5.12% from 4.12%.

Provisions for loan losses decreased 40% to $165,000 due to a decline in non-performing assets and a decline in total loans.

Non-interest expenses declined 6.7% due to reductions in compensation and other expense.

Non-interest income increased 10.1% primarily due to no investment impairment charges recorded in the quarter; a $170,000 investment impairment charge was recognized in the 2009 period.

Non-performing assets declined to $1.4 million, or 0.87% of average total assets and as compared to $1.7 million, or 0.98% of avg. Total assets at December 31, 2009 and as to $1.5 million or 1.14% of average total assets at March 31, 2009. Net loan charge-offs totaled $41,000 for the period compared to $120,000 in the 2009 fourth quarter and $6,000 in the first quarter of 2009. Allowance for loan losses increased to $2.3 million, or 159.7% of non-performing assets at March 31, 2010.

Total assets decreased 5.6% to $169.6 million as compared to March 31, 2009, primarily due to a $7.1 million decrease in investment and mortgage-backed securities. Total deposits declined $10.2 million, due to a reduction in time deposit accounts. Non-maturity demand/transaction/saving deposit accounts increased $9.8 million, or 14.2%.

Total stockholders equity increased $1.4 million, or 9.6% to $16.3 million for the twelve month period ending March 31, 2010, primarily due to a 30.2% increase in retained earnings to $8.7 million. Total tangible common equity increased $2.3 million, or 20.0% to $14.0 million, also due to the noted increase in retained earnings
