Mon, November 15, 2010 Alaska Pacific Bancshares, Inc. ReportsImproved Third Quarter Earnings for 2010
JUNEAU, Alaska--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--Alaska Pacific Bancshares, Inc. (OTCBB:AKPB) (aCompanya), the parent company of Alaska Pacific Bank (aBanka), today announced its third quarter results for the quarter ended September 30, 2010. Net income not including preferred stock dividend and discount accretion increased $1.1 million to $342,000 for the third quarter of 2010 compared to a loss of $(1.4 million) for the third quarter of 2009. Net income not including preferred stock dividend and discount accretion for the third quarter of 2010 of $342,000 is also up $147,000 compared to $195,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2010. After preferred stock dividend paid or payable in arrears and discount accretion of $76,000 and $74,000, net income (loss) available to common shareholders for the third quarter of 2010 and 2009 was $266,000 and $(1.5 million), or $0.37 and $(2.27) per diluted share, respectively.
"We are pleased with the results for this quarter"
"We are pleased with the results for this quarter," said Craig Dahl, President & CEO. "As I have previously stated, we have continued to have solid core earnings and believe that as we resolve the small number of remaining problem loans our balance sheet and results of operations will support improved performance. The economy in our primary market area is stable, the Bank's loan delinquencies remain low, and we are moving steadily through the resolution process on the remaining classified loans, so we are optimistic as we look to 2011 and beyond."
Mortgage banking income increased $99,000 (94.3%) to $204,000 for the third quarter of 2010 compared to $105,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 and increased $123,000 (151.9%) compared to $81,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2009. The increase from the comparable period in the prior year resulted from an increase in mortgages originated for sale due to new home purchases and home refinancing.
Other noninterest income decreased $14,000 (4.2%) to $318,000 for the third quarter of 2010 from June 30, 2010 and increased $7,000 (2.25%) from the quarter ended September 30, 2009. The decrease in noninterest income compared to the prior quarter is primarily the result of a decrease in overdraft fee income. Noninterest expense increased $237,000 (11.4%) to $2.3 million for the third quarter of 2010 from June 30, 2010 and increased $41,000 (1.8%) from the quarter ended September 30, 2009. The increase from the prior quarter and the quarter ended the comparable period in the prior year is a result of an increase in professional and consulting fees and real estate owned and repossessed assets expense, net.
The provision for loan losses decreased $293,000 to a net benefit of $1,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 compared to $292,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 and decreased $2.5 million compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2009. The allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2010 was $2.1 million, representing 1.4% of total loans outstanding and 47% of total non-performing assets. Total non accrual loans were $1.9 million at September 30, 2010 compared with $2.1 million at June 30, 2010 and $6.3 million at September 30, 2009. In addition, the Banka™s real estate owned and repossessed assets were $2.7 million at September 30, 2010 compared with $2.9 million at June 30, 2010 and $2.6 at September 30, 2009. There were $56,000 of net loan charge offs for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 compared to a $296,000 of net loan charge offs for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 and a $3.9 million of net loan charge offs for the quarter ended September 30, 2009.
Interest income decreased $54,000 (2.2%) to $2.4 million for the third quarter of 2010 compared to the third quarter of 2009, reflecting a 5.5% decrease in average loans offset with an increase in yield on loans and other earning assets. The net interest margin on average earning assets was 5.3% for the third quarter in 2010 compared with 4.7% in the third quarter of 2009.
Loans (before the allowance and excluding loans held for sale) were $152.1million at September 30, 2010, a decrease of $5.2 million, or 3.3% from June 30, 2010, and a decrease of $6.8 million, or 4.3% from September 30, 2009. Deposits at June 30, 2010, were $151.8million, a $5.8million (4.0%) increase from June 30, 2010 and a $508,000 (0.3%) decrease from September 30, 2009. The increase in deposits in the third quarter of 2010 compared to the second quarter of 2010 is primarily attributable to a seasonal increase in consumer and commercial demand deposit accounts.
