FPB Financial Corp. Announces 2008 Third Quarter Earnings and Declares Dividends
Wednesday October 22, 2008 10:39 am ET

HAMMOND, LA--(MARKET WIRE)--Oct 22, 2008 -- FPB Financial Corp., (Other OTC:FPBF.PK - News), the holding company for Florida Parishes Bank, announced earnings for the quarter ended September 30, 2008.

Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was $247,000 ($0.70 per diluted common share), down 27.1% from $339,000 ($0.96 per diluted common share), for the 2007 comparable period. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, was $929,000 ($2.62 per diluted common share), up 0.4% from $925,000 ($2.89 per diluted common share), for the 2007 comparable period.

Earnings for the quarter were affected by an increase of $293,000, or 21.4% in net interest income, an increase of $297,000 or 22.9% in non-interest expense, a decrease of $186,000, or 31.8% in non-interest income, and provisions for loan losses decreased $50,000, or 33.3% as compared to the 2007 quarter.

The improvement in net interest income was due to an increase in our net interest margin to 4.52%. Non-interest expenses increased primarily due to compensation, occupancy, technology and FDIC premiums. A loss of $82,000 on investment trading accounts and a 45.7% decrease in mortgage banking revenue, compared to the 2007 period, were responsible for the decreased non-interest income. Provisions for loan losses decreased to $100,000 due to modest net loan charge-offs and a reduction of $597,000 in non-performing assets, compared to June 30, 2008.

On May 6, 2008 Florida Parishes Bank was notified by the Asset Management Fund (AMF) that the AMF Ultra Short Mortgage Fund (ASARX) Redemption-In-Kind Provision was activated. A review is now in process to determine if the Bank's available-for-sale investment in this fund is other than temporarily impaired. If this investment had been declared impaired as of September 30, 2008, the Bank would have recognized an after tax charge to earnings of $704,000 ($1.98 per diluted common share). FPB Financial Corporation can give no assurance if, when, or the outcome of the impairment review now being conducted on the AMF Investment.

Net Loans, Total Deposits, Allowance for Loan Losses, and Shareholder dividends all showed increases of 12% and above, as compared to September 30, 2007. Tangible Stockholders' Equity increased by $328,000, but was affected by a $704,000 decline in accumulated other comprehensive income related to investments in the national mortgage-backed securities market. As of September 30, 2008 our subsidiary, Florida Parishes Bank, is considered "well capitalized" by all federal banking regulations and definitions.

FPB Financial Corp. reported the following compared to September 30, 2007:

 
--  Tangible stockholders equity increased $328,000, or 2.7%

--  Tangible book value per share increased to $34.66, or 1.8%

--  Dividends paid to shareholders increased $31,000, or 26.7%

--  Total Deposits increased  $13.0 million, or 12.5%

--  Non-interest bearing deposits increased $536,000, or 3.8%

--  Total Assets increased $12.0 million, or 8.3%

--  Net Loans increased $13.9 million, or 12.5%

--  Allowance for Loan Losses increased $193,000, or 13.7%
