NEW YORK, Nov. 14, 2008 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Carver Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") (Nasdaq:CARV), the holding company for Carver Federal Savings Bank (the "Bank"), today announced its results of operations for the three- and six-month periods ended September 30, 2008, the second quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2009 ("fiscal 2009").
The Company reported net income of $0.6 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.25 for the second quarter of fiscal 2009, compared to net income of $0.8 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.30 for the second quarter of fiscal 2008. For the six month period ended September 30, 2008, the Company reported net income of $1.3 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, compared to net income of $1.9 million, or $0.74 per diluted share, for the prior year period.
Deborah C. Wright, the Company's Chairman and CEO, stated: "Nationwide, the banking industry has entered a 'perfect storm,' reflecting tightening net interest margins, the credit crises, and subsequent restructuring of the banking and financial industries. While Carver and its geographic markets had been spared from much of this upheaval, our region is now beginning to experience the impact.
"In this context, Carver's second quarter earnings reflect continued pressure on our net interest margin and an increase in the provision for loan losses. With construction lending representing 25% of our loan portfolio, reductions in LIBOR and Prime Rate indices of 256 and 275 basis points since September 30, 2007, respectively have reduced interest income. However rates paid in deposit markets did not decline commensurately given competitive pressures. In addition, this quarter is the first to reflect some deterioration in real estate and business conditions in New York City.
"Our non-performing assets increased from 0.50% of total assets at June 30, 2008 to 3.47% at September 30, 2008, in large part due to accounting rules related to matured credits. Loans past maturity must be classified as non-performing, even when they are current with respect to principal and interest payments and are performing based upon their original repayment terms. These loans represent $9.5 million, or 34% of Carver's total non-performing assets. The comparatively modest increase in provision for loan losses taken this quarter reflects the management team's confidence in prospects for the substantial majority of all non-performing loans to return to performing status given our conservative underwriting.
"Despite the economic challenges, we are pleased with the initial response to our new small business loan program and feel confident in the growing suite of products we can now offer to our customers. During a time when many of our largest competitors have turned their attention away from smaller clients to refocus on their own challenges, our conservative approach positions Carver as well capitalized and ready to meet the needs of current and new customers. In addition, we have continued to make progress on our previously announced initiatives to improve efficiency. Reflecting this priority expenses were flat year over year, as we execute on critical operational initiatives. At the end of October we began to offer residential loan products through PHH Mortgage Corporation ('PHH'), a third party provider, via our branches, website and call center. In addition to fee income derived from this channel, we anticipate that a recent agreement to purchase whole loans underwritten by PHH, using the Bank's lending standards, will provide an avenue for loan growth, when real estate markets stabilize. Carver also received approval from the Office of Thrift Supervision to consolidate two of our retail branches into a single location beginning in December 2008. These steps, and others we are evaluating, will further reduce staff, facilities and other costs," concluded Ms. Wright.
Carver also announced that on November 13, 2008, the Company's Board of Directors declared a cash dividend on its common stock of ten cents ($0.10) per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2008. The Company noted that this action reflects the Board of Directors' continued confidence in Carver's long-term growth and earnings outlook. The dividend will be payable on December 12, 2008 to stockholders of record at the close of business on November 28, 2008.
Income Statement Highlights
Second Quarter Results
The Company reported net income for the second quarter ended September 30, 2008 of $0.6 million compared to net income of $0.8 million for the prior year period, a decrease of $0.2 million. The decrease in net income is the result of a decrease in net interest income of $0.3 million, an increase of $0.2 million in the provision for loan losses, and an increase in non-interest expense of $0.1 million, offset by increases in non-interest income of $0.1 million and an income tax benefit of $0.4 million.
Interest income decreased by $1.6 million, or 12.8%, to $10.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 compared to $12.1 million for the prior year period. The decrease in interest income was primarily the result of decreases in interest income on loans of $1.3 million and interest income on investment securities of $0.3 million. The decrease in interest income reflects a decrease in the yield on interest-earning assets of 94 basis points to 5.91% for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 as compared to 6.85% for the prior year period. The decrease in yield on interest earning assets was primarily the result of a 104 basis points decrease in the yield on loans as a result of LIBOR and prime based construction loans repricing at lower rates. The decrease in interest income was also the result of the decline in the average balance of investment securities from $28.5 in the prior year period to $6.2 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2008 as securities matured.
Interest expense decreased by $1.3 million, or 22.8%, to $4.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 as compared to $5.6 million for the prior year period. The decrease in interest expense was primarily the result of decreases in interest expense on deposits of $1.2 million and interest expense on advances and other borrowed money of $0.1 million. The decrease in interest expense primarily reflects an 83 basis point decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities to 2.62% for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 compared to 3.45% for the prior year period, partially offset by growth in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities of $8.9 million, or 1.4%, to $658.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 compared to $649.5 million for the prior year period. The decrease in the yield on interest bearing liabilities was primarily the result of higher cost certificates of deposits repricing at lower rates as well as lower costs on short-term advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York ("FHLB").
The Bank provided a $0.2 million loan loss provision for the second quarter of fiscal 2009 as compared to no provision in the prior year period. The increase recognizes the rise in non-performing loans reflecting indications of deterioration in the housing market and the New York City economy. The Bank's future level of non-performing loans will be influenced by economic conditions, including the impact of those conditions on the Bank's customers, interest rates and other factors existing at the time.
Non-interest income increased by $0.1 million, or 8.1%, to $1.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 compared to $1.5 million for the prior year period. The increase was due to other income increasing $0.3 million, offset by a decrease in loan fees and service charges and gain on sale of securities of $0.1 million, respectively. Other income increased by $0.3 million, primarily the result of $0.2 million consolidation of income from the minority interest created by the New Markets Tax Credit ("NMTC") transaction.
Non-interest expense increased by $0.1 million, or 1.5%, to $7.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 compared to $7.2 million for the prior year period. The increase was primarily due to increases in employee compensation and benefits of $0.5 million and equipment expense of $0.2 million, offset by a decrease in other expenses of $0.6 million. The decrease in other expenses was the result of a reduction in consulting expenses which declined from $0.8 million in prior year period to $0.3 million for the second quarter fiscal 2009.
The income tax benefit was $0.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 compared to a tax benefit of $44,000 for the prior year period. The tax benefit for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 reflects income before taxes of $0.3 million which resulted in income tax expense of $0.1 million offset by the tax benefit generated by the NMTC transaction totaling $0.5 million, compared to income before income taxes of $0.7 million for the prior year period, which resulted in income tax expense of $0.3 million offset by the tax benefit generated by the NMTC investment totaling $0.4 million. The Bank's NMTC award received in June 2006 has been fully invested. The Company expects to receive additional NMTC tax benefits of approximately $11.1 million from its $40.0 million investment through the period ending March 31, 2014.
Six Month Results
Net income for the six months ended September 30, 2008 was $1.3 million compared to net income of $1.9 million for the prior year period, a decrease of $0.6 million. The decrease in net income is the result of a decrease in net interest income of $0.7 million, an increase in non-interest expense of $0.9 million and an increase in provision for loan losses of $0.3 million, offset by an increase in non-interest income of $0.7 million and an income tax benefit of $0.7 million compared to an income tax expense of $0.1 million.
For the six month period ending September 30, 2008, interest income decreased $2.4 million, or 9.9%, to $21.6 million, compared to $24.0 million for the prior year period. The decrease in interest income was primarily the result of decreases in interest income on loans of $1.9 million and interest income on investment securities of $0.7 million, offset by an increase in interest income on mortgage-backed securities of 0.2 million. The decrease in interest income reflects a decrease in the yield on interest-earning assets of 80 basis points to 6.09% for the six months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to 6.89% for the prior year period. The decrease in yield on interest earning assets was primarily the result of an 89 basis points decrease in the yield on loans as a result of LIBOR and prime rate based construction loans repricing at lower rates. The decrease in interest income was also the result of the decline in the average balance of investment securities from $29.8 in the prior year period to $5.4 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2008 due to matured securities.
For the six month period ended September 30, 2008, interest expense decreased by $1.7 million, or 15.7%, to $9.2 million, compared to $10.9 million for the prior year period. The decrease in interest expense resulted primarily from a 61 basis point decrease in the annualized average cost of interest-bearing liabilities to 2.80%, compared to 3.41% for the prior year period, offset partially by growth in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities of $16.9 million, or 2.6%, to $655.5 million compared to $638.6 million for the prior year period.
For the six month period ended September 30, 2008, the Bank provided a $0.3 million provision for loan losses compared with no provision for the prior year period. The increased provision reflects indications of deterioration in housing and real estate markets, as well as the overall economic environment, which contributed to an increase in our non-performing loans and net loan charge-offs. Based on our evaluation of housing and real estate markets and the overall economy, coupled with the increase in and composition of our delinquencies, non-performing loans, net loan charge-offs and overall loan portfolio, we determined that a provision for loan losses was warranted for the six months ended September 30, 2008.
For the six month period ended September 30, 2008, non-interest income increased $0.7 million to $3.3 million compared to $2.6 million for the prior year period. For the six month period ended September 30, 2008, other income increased by $0.6 million, primarily the result of a $0.4 million consolidation of income from the minority interest created by the NMTC transaction.
During the six month period ended September 30, 2008, non-interest expense increased $0.9 million, or 6.9%, to $14.6 million compared to $13.7 million for the prior year period. The increase in non-interest expense was primarily due to increases of $0.7 million in employee compensation and benefits to $7.0 million compared to $6.3 million, $0.2 million in equipment expense to $1.3 million compared to $1.1 million and $0.1 million in net occupancy expense to $1.9 million compared to $1.8 million, respectively, for the prior year period.
For the six month period ended September 30, 2008, the bank recorded a tax benefit of $0.8 million compared to income tax expense of $0.1 million for the prior year period. The tax benefit for the six months ended September 30, 2008 reflects income before taxes of $0.8 million which resulted in income tax expense of $0.3 million offset by the tax benefit generated by the NMTC investment totaling $1.0 million as compared to income before income taxes of $2.0 million for the prior year period, which resulted in income tax expense of $0.8 million offset by the tax benefit generated by the NMTC investment totaling $0.7 million.
Financial Condition Highlights
At September 30, 2008, total assets decreased $5.9 million, or 0.7%, to $790.7 million compared to $796.6 million at March 31, 2008, primarily the result of decreases in cash and cash equivalents of $11.8 million and other assets of $6.6 million, partially offset by increases in investment securities of $8.5 million and loans receivable, net of $2.7 million.
Cash and cash equivalents decreased $11.9 million, or 43.3%, to $15.5 million at September 30, 2008 compared to $27.4 million at March 31, 2008, primarily due to a $8.7 million decrease in federal funds sold and a $3.1 million decrease in cash and due from banks. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents is the result of the Bank using excess liquidity to purchase higher yielding securities as a result of the significant decline in federal funds rates.
Other assets decreased $6.6 million, or 15.8%, to $35.2 million at September 30, 2008 compared to $41.9 million at March 31, 2008, primarily due to receipt of a settlement receivable of $8.2 million from the sale of certain investments.
Total securities increased $8.5 million, or 22.3%, to $46.7 million at September 30, 2008 compared to $38.2 million at March 31, 2008, reflecting an increase of $9.4 million in available-for-sale securities and a $0.9 million decrease in held-to-maturity securities. Available-for-sale securities increased $9.4 million, or 45.3%, primarily due to purchases of Agency securities. Held to maturity securities decreased $0.9 million, or 5.3%, primarily due to collection of normal principal repayments and maturities. $12.4 million in securities were purchased during the six months ended September 30, 2008.
Total loans receivable, net including loans held-for-sale, increased $2.7 million, or 0.4%, to $653.6 million at September 30, 2008 compared to $651.7 million at March 31, 2008. The increase was primarily the result of an increase in commercial real estate loans of $13.2 million and an increase in commercial business loans of $2.3 million, offset by decreases in one- to four- family loans of $11.9 million and construction loans of $1.5 million.
Total liabilities decreased $6.4 million, or 0.9%, to $716.7 million at September 30, 2008 compared to $723.1 million at March 31, 2008. The decrease in total liabilities was primarily the result of a $54.8 million reduction in deposits, offset by an increase of $50.8 million in advances and borrowed money. The Bank made a strategic decision to allow higher cost certificates of deposit to run off and replaced them with lower cost borrowings to take advantage of the lower rate environment for borrowed money.
Deposits decreased $54.8 million, or 8.4%, to $599.8 million at September 30, 2008 compared to $654.7 million at March 31, 2008. The decrease in deposit balances was primarily the result of decreases in certificates of deposit of $44.1 million, savings accounts of $6.8 million, NOW accounts of $2.6 million and demand accounts of $2.1 million, which were partially offset by an increase of $0.9 million in money market accounts.
Advances from the FHLB and other borrowed money increased $50.8 million, or 86.7%, to $109.4 million at September 30, 2008 compared to $58.6 million at March 31, 2008. The increase in advances and borrowed money was primarily the result of an increase of $50.8 million in FHLB advances. At September 30, 2008, based on available collateral held at the FHLB, the Bank had the ability to borrow an additional $41.2 million on a secured basis.
Total stockholders' equity increased $0.6 million, or 1.1%, to $55.0 million at September 30, 2008 compared to $54.4 million at March 31, 2008. The increase in total stockholders' equity was primarily attributable to net income for the six months ended September 30, 2008 totaling $1.3 million, partially offset by dividends paid of $0.5 million and a decrease of accumulated other comprehensive income of $0.2 million. The Bank's capital levels meet regulatory requirements of a well capitalized financial institution.
Stock Repurchase Program
During the quarter ended September 30, 2008, the Company purchased an additional 6,800 shares of common stock under its stock repurchase program. As of September 30, 2008, the Company has purchased a total of 176,187 shares at an average price per share of $15.72. The number of shares yet to be repurchased is 55,448 shares.
Asset Quality
At September 30, 2008, non-performing assets totaled $27.6 million, or 3.47% of total assets, compared to $4.0 million, or 0.50% of total assets at March 31, 2008. Of this amount, $9.5 million, or 34%, represent loans past maturity at September 30, 2008, that are current with respect to principal and interest payments and performing based upon their original repayment terms. Most of these loans have now been extended. Excluding loans past maturity at September 30, 2008, non-performing assets would be $18.1 million, or 2.29% of total assets.
At September 30, 2008, the Bank's allowance for loan losses was $5.1 million, which represents a ratio of the allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans of 29.42% compared to 170.9% at March 31, 2008. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans was 0.81% at September 30, 2008 compared to 0.74% at March 31, 2008.
