NEWTOWN, Pa., Oct. 25, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TF Financial Corporation (Nasdaq:THRD) today reported net income of $1,473,000 ($0.54 per diluted share) for the third quarter of 2012, a 36% increase over the $1,080,000 ($0.40 per diluted share) reported for the third quarter of 2011. On a sequential linked-quarter basis, net income advanced 18% over the $1,249,000 or $0.46 per share reported for the second quarter of 2012.
Net income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012 was $3,877,000 ($1.42 per diluted share) compared with $2,397,000 ($0.89 per diluted share) for the first nine months of 2011. The Company also announced that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.05 per share, payable November 15, 2012 to shareholders of record on November 8, 2012.
"We produced a good strong quarter with solid improvement in all measures of financial performance," said Kent C. Lufkin, president and chief executive officer. "With the exception of the fourth quarter of 2011, in which we booked some opportunistic securities gains, this was the best quarter since late 2005. Our net interest margin remained quite healthy at 3.96%, up from 3.83% a year earlier. On an encouraging note, non-performing assets declined to 2.59% of total assets at quarter-end, compared to 3.74% a year ago, as we diligently continued to work out troubled loans and move them off the balance sheet. We will continue to work tirelessly to achieve consistent future profitability as we move through this latter stage of a very tough banking cycle."
Results for the current quarter included:
- Pre-tax income was $1,952,000 during the quarter, compared with $1,394,000 during the third quarter of 2011. The Company's operating performance has improved in nearly every area since the third quarter of 2011: net interest income increased by $249,000 or 4.1%; non-interest income increased by $331,000 or 56.8%; and non-interest expenses decreased by $200,000 or 4.3%. This trend was also evident on a linked-quarter basis compared with the second quarter of 2012: net interest income increased by $203,000 or 3.4%; non-interest income increased by $175,000 or 23.7%; and non-interest expenses decreased by $183,000 or 3.9%.
- Net interest income was $6,254,000 compared with $6,051,000 for the linked second quarter of 2012, and $6,005,000 during the third quarter of 2011. The Company's net interest margin was unchanged at 3.96% compared with second quarter of 2012, and improved by 13 basis points when compared with 3.83% during the third quarter of 2011. Yields on the Company's interest-earning assets fell by 35 basis points during the third quarter of 2012 compared with the year-ago third quarter of 2011. However, the cost of the Company's interest bearing liabilities decreased by 49 basis points compared to the third quarter of 2011, mainly the result of a 43 basis point reduction in the cost of deposits, due in large part to the maturity of time deposits, which had been originated during periods of higher market interest rates, and which were converted into accounts bearing much lower current market interest rates.
- Overall, asset quality continued to show improving trends with total non-performing assets at 2.59% of total assets at September 30, 2012, which is down from 3.56% at year end 2011 and 3.74% at September 30, 2011. Non-performing loans were $10.4 million at quarter-end compared with $12.5 million at December 31, 2011. In addition, foreclosed property showed a substantial reduction during the year due to sales of properties, totaling $7.6 million at September 30, 2012 compared with $11.7 million at December 31, 2011.
- The provision for loan losses was $750,000 and net charge-offs were $141,000 during the third quarter of 2012, compared with a provision for loan losses of $528,000 and net charge-offs of $49,000 during the third quarter of 2011. The Company's allowance for loan losses was $6,772,000 or 65.1% of non-performing loans at quarter end, compared with $9,586,000 or 56.1% of non-performing loans at September 30, 2011.
- Total loans were $541.6 million at September 30, 2012, a $21.7 million or 4.2% increase during the quarter. Mortgage loans originated for sale were $12.7 million compared with $8.8 million during the third quarter of 2011. The corresponding gain on sale of loans was $382,000 during the quarter, compared with $125,000 during the third quarter of 2011.
- At quarter end, total deposits were $533.3 million, compared with $551.3 million at December 31, 2011, and $551.7 million at September 30, 2011. Deposit decreases can be traced to the maturity of a large amount of maturing CDs which had been issued 3 to 4 years ago when market interest rates were substantially higher. These funds either were withdrawn from the Bank, or were transferred into other deposit products. Core checking, savings, and money market accounts increased by $11.0 million during 2012, and were 71.5% of total deposits at September 30, 2012 compared with 67.2% at December 31, 2011, and 66.4% at September 30, 2011.
- Capital ratios continue to be strong, with Tier 1 Leverage and Total Risk-Based ratios of 10.47% and 17.62% at September 30, 2012. Capital levels are well above the regulatory minimums to be considered well-capitalized.
