CFS Bancorp, Inc. Announces Financial Results for the Third Quarter 2008
Thursday October 30, 2008 4:00 pm ET

MUNSTER, IN--(MARKET WIRE)--Oct 30, 2008 -- CFS Bancorp, Inc. (NasdaqGM:CITZ - News) (the Company), the parent of Citizens Financial Bank (the Bank), today reported a net loss of $1.0 million for the third quarter of 2008, or $(0.10) per share, as a result of a $3.5 million other-than-temporary impairment charge related to its investment in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac preferred stock and a $1.4 million provision for losses on loans. Combined, these charges reduced net income by $3.1 million and reduced diluted earnings per share by $0.30. Net income for the third quarter of 2007 totaled $1.9 million with diluted earnings per share of $0.18. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company's net loss was $1.6 million resulting in a loss per share of $0.15 compared to net income of $5.5 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.50 for the 2007 period.

The Company's results for the third quarter of 2008 included the following:

 
--  risk-based capital ratio remained strong at 14.38%, significantly
    above the required ratio to be considered well-capitalized of 10.00%;
--  net interest margin expanded to 3.47% from 3.07% benefiting from lower
    interest rates;
--  gross loans increased 2.1% primarily in commercial and industrial and
    owner-occupied commercial real-estate loans;
--  provision for losses on loans was $1.4 million as collateral values
    and economic conditions continued to deteriorate resulting in increased non-
    performing assets; and
--  other-than-temporary impairment of $3.5 million on investments in
    Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac preferred stock.

Chairman's Comments

"Unprecedented market conditions present unforeseen challenges to us and the entire financial services sector. We have met those challenges head on and continue to improve the underlying fundamentals of our core operations. Our realigned Business Banking team has proven very productive in the third quarter of 2008 by originating $34.6 million of new commercial loans and $23.0 million of commercial lines-of-credit. As a result, our loan portfolio increased $15.3 million, or 2.1% from the second quarter of 2008. Despite lower interest rates, our net interest margin has expanded for three consecutive quarters and six out of the last seven quarters," said Thomas F. Prisby, Chairman and CEO.

"Our capital position remains strong. The Bank's risk-based capital continues to be significantly in excess of the regulatory requirements to be considered 'adequately capitalized' and 'well-capitalized' of 8% and 10%, respectively. At September 30, 2008, the Bank's risk-based capital was 14.38% and was $37.0 million in excess of 'well-capitalized' amounts. The Bank's Tier 1 capital is also significantly in excess of the regulatory requirements to be considered 'adequately capitalized' and 'well-capitalized' of 4% and 5%, respectively. At September 30, 2008, the Bank's Tier 1 capital was 10.15% and was $57.2 million in excess of 'well-capitalized' amounts. We anticipate our strong liquidity position will allow us to continue to increase loan balances primarily in commercial and industrial loans and owner-occupied commercial real estate loans through the remainder of 2008."

Mr. Prisby continued, "We continued to proactively manage credit risk within our loan portfolio by reducing our construction and land development portfolio $40.4 million or 31.4% since December 31, 2007. We also continued to take aggressive steps in identifying losses and have charged-off $8.8 million in loan balances since December 31, 2007. Our third quarter results were negatively impacted as a result of the action taken by the United States Treasury Department and the Federal Housing Finance Authority on September 7, 2008 which placed Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac into conservatorship. This action caused the market value of our preferred stock investment in these entities to decrease to $275,000 at September 30, 2008. As a result, we recorded a $3.5 million impairment charge on the preferred stock held in these entities. We hold no Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac common stock."

Net Interest Income

The net interest margin increased 21 basis points to 3.47% for the third quarter of 2008 compared to 3.26% for the second quarter of 2008 and increased 40 basis points compared to 3.07% for the third quarter of 2007. The Company's net interest income increased to $8.9 million for the third quarter of 2008 compared to $8.7 million for the second quarter of 2008 and $8.6 million for the third quarter of 2007. The increase was primarily a result of a decrease in the Company's cost of funds.

Interest income decreased 4.4% to $14.4 million for the third quarter of 2008 compared to $15.0 million for the second quarter of 2008 and $17.9 million for the third quarter of 2007. Interest income during the third quarter of 2008 was negatively impacted by the increase in non-performing loans. The decrease from the second quarter of 2008 was primarily related to a 4.7% decrease in the average balance of interest-earning assets. The decrease from the third quarter of 2007 was a combination of a 7.7% decrease in the average balance of interest-earning assets and a decrease of 81 basis points in the weighted-average yield earned on interest-earning assets resulting from lower interest rates during 2008.

Interest expense decreased 13.9% to $5.5 million for the third quarter of 2008 from $6.3 million for the second quarter of 2008 and 41.4% from $9.3 million for the third quarter of 2007. The decrease from the second quarter of 2008 was primarily related to a 28 basis point decrease in the Company's weighted-average cost of interest-bearing liabilities. The Company's interest expense on deposits and short-term borrowings was positively impacted by decreases in interest rates during 2008. The decrease from the third quarter of 2007 was primarily the result of a 7.4% decrease in the average balances of interest-bearing liabilities and a 139 basis point decrease in the Company's weighted-average cost of interest-bearing liabilities resulting from lower interest rates and decreases in the amortization of the deferred premium on the early extinguishment of Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) debt during 2008.

The Company's cost of borrowings decreased to 4.44% for the third quarter of 2008 compared to 4.88% for the second quarter of 2008 and 6.59% for the third quarter of 2007. The decreases were primarily the result of decreases in the amortization of the deferred premium on the early extinguishment of FHLB debt which is included in total interest expense on borrowings, and the lower average balances of FHLB debt. The premium amortization adversely impacted the Company's net interest margin by 11 basis points, 17 basis points and 38 basis points, respectively, for the third quarter of 2008, the second quarter of 2008 and the third quarter of 2007. The Company's interest expense on borrowings is detailed in the tables below for the periods indicated.

The interest expense related to the premium amortization on the early extinguishment of FHLB debt continues to have a smaller impact on the Company's weighted-average cost of interest-bearing liabilities and is expected to be $206,000, $72,000, $61,000 and $24,000 before taxes in the quarters ending December 31, 2008 and March 31, June 30, and September 30, 2009, respectively.

Non-Interest Income and Non-Interest Expense

The Company's non-interest income for the third quarter of 2008 was negatively impacted by a $3.5 million impairment charge on investments in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac preferred stock. This non-cash charge was a result of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac being placed into conservatorship. At September 30, 2008, the Company's book value in these securities after the impairment charge was $275,000 representing the market value of these securities. Service charges and other fees increased 11.9% from June 30, 2008 primarily due to an increase in the Company's rates charged for overdrafts and other services. Service charges and other fees decreased from September 30, 2007 due to fewer service charges on returned items coupled with a decrease in total credit enhancement fees.

Non-interest expense for the third quarter of 2008 increased to $8.7 million compared to $7.7 million for the second quarter of 2008 and $8.0 million for the third quarter of 2007. Compensation and employee benefits increased during the third quarter of 2008 primarily due to a $302,000 increase in pension and Employee Stock Ownership Plan expense. Net occupancy expense increased due to general maintenance on the Bank's office locations as well as costs involved when the Bank's Lending Operations Department vacated leased space in September 2008. Professional fees increased primarily due to increased legal services and marketing expenses increased due to customer events. The increase in general and administrative expense included $257,000 in loan collection expenses primarily related to one large non-accruing construction and land development syndication loan. Data processing expenses decreased primarily as a result of the Company's renegotiated contract with its service provider.

The Company's efficiency ratio for the third quarter of 2008 was 107.7% compared to 72.2% for the second quarter of 2008 and 70.4% for the third quarter of 2007. The Company's efficiency ratio for the third quarter of 2008 was negatively impacted by the impairment charge on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac preferred stock coupled with increases in non-interest expense as previously discussed. The Company's core efficiency ratios were 73.6%, 65.8% and 64.5% for the same periods. The core efficiency ratio was negatively impacted by the increased non-interest expense coupled with lower amortization of the deferred premium on the early extinguishment of debt when compared to the prior periods. The efficiency ratio and the core efficiency ratio calculations are presented in the last table of this press release.

Management has historically used an efficiency ratio that is a non-GAAP financial measure of operating expense control and operating efficiency. The efficiency ratio is typically defined as the ratio of non-interest expense to the sum of non-interest income and net interest income. Many financial institutions, in calculating the efficiency ratio, adjust non-interest income (as calculated under GAAP) to exclude certain component elements, such as gains or losses on sales of securities and assets. Management follows this practice to calculate our core efficiency ratio and utilizes this non-GAAP measure in its analysis of the Company's performance. The core efficiency ratio is different from the GAAP-based efficiency ratio. The GAAP-based measure is calculated using non-interest expense, net interest income and non-interest income as presented on the consolidated statements of income.

The Company's core efficiency ratio is calculated as non-interest expense divided by the sum of net interest income, excluding the deferred premium amortization related to the early extinguishment of debt, and non-interest income, adjusted for gains or losses on the sale of securities and other assets. Management believes that the core efficiency ratio enhances investors' understanding of the Company's business and performance. The measure is also believed to be useful in understanding the Company's performance trends and to facilitate comparisons with the performance of others in the financial services industry. Management further believes the presentation of the core efficiency ratio provides useful supplemental information, a clearer understanding of the Company's financial performance, and better reflects the Company's core operating activities.

The risks associated with utilizing operating measures (such as the efficiency ratio) are that various persons might disagree as to the appropriateness of items included or excluded in these measures and that other companies might calculate these measures differently. Management of the Company compensates for these limitations by providing detailed reconciliations between GAAP information and its core efficiency ratio within the last table of this press release; however, these disclosures should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP.

Asset Quality

The Company's provision for losses on loans was $1.4 million for the third quarter of 2008 compared to $7.2 million for the second quarter of 2008 and $884,000 for the third quarter of 2007. The third quarter 2008 provision primarily reflects increased risks inherent in the loan portfolio in light of deteriorating market conditions and lack of activity in residential housing and land development. Net charge-offs for the third quarter of 2008 totaled $3.2 million which included partial charge-offs of $3.0 million on two impaired loan relationships totaling $9.2 million collateralized by land or commercial real estate which had previously identified impairment reserves of $2.2 million.

The Company's allowance for losses on loans was $8.7 million at September 30, 2008, $8.0 million at December 31, 2007 and $11.3 million at September 30, 2007. The decreased allowance from September 30, 2007 was primarily related to the charge-offs taken during 2008 as well as the charge-off of $4.0 million of impairment reserves during the fourth quarter 2007. The increase in the provision during 2008 partially offset these decreases. The Company's non-performing loans increased $18.2 million to $47.8 million from December 2007 primarily as a result of a $10.7 million increase in non-performing construction and land development loans and a $6.8 million increase in non-performing commercial real estate loans. The Company's non-performing loans at September 30, 2008 included $29.9 million non-performing syndication loans to seven borrowers and non-performing construction and land development loans represented 56.4% of its total non-performing assets.

The ratio of allowance for losses on loans to total loans increased to 1.17% at September 30, 2008 from 1.01% at December 31, 2007 and decreased from 1.37% at September 30, 2007. The ratio of allowance for losses on loans to total non-performing loans was 18.13%, 27.11% and 34.50%, respectively at September 30, 2008, December 31, 2007 and September 30, 2007. When management evaluates a non-performing collateral dependent loan and identifies a collateral shortfall, management will charge-off the collateral shortfall. As a result, the Company is not required to maintain an allowance for losses on loans on these loans as the loan balance has already been written down to its net realizable value (fair value less estimated costs to sell the collateral.) The above ratios have been negatively impacted by partial charge-offs of $7.2 million on $18.3 million of collateral dependent non-performing loans through September 30, 2008 and impairment reserves totaling $523,000 on other non-performing loans at September 30, 2008.

The Company maintains the allowance for losses on loans at a level that management believes is sufficient to absorb credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance for losses on loans represents management's estimate of inherent losses existing in the loan portfolio that are both probable and reasonable to estimate at each balance sheet date and is based on its review of available and relevant information. Management believes that at September 30, 2008 the allowance for losses on loans was adequate based on its review of historical loss experience, levels of delinquencies, economic conditions and the review of relevant and available information for specific loans.

Balance Sheet

At September 30, 2008, the Company's total assets were $1.11 billion compared to $1.15 billion at December 31, 2007.

The Company's loans receivable decreased 6.4% to $742.3 million at September 30, 2008 from $793.1 million at December 31, 2007 primarily due to a $40.4 million, or 31.4%, decrease in construction and land development loans as the Company continues to reduce its exposure in this segment of the loan portfolio.

The Company has experienced increased loan production as a result of the realignment of its Business Banking team. For the three months ended September 30, 2008, the Company originated $34.6 million, which included $4.2 million of commercial and industrial loans, $10.1 million of owner occupied commercial real estate loans and $20.3 million of other commercial real estate loans. In addition, the Company originated $23.0 million of commercial lines of credit during the same period. This activity resulted in an overall increase of $15.3 million in the Company's commercial and construction loan portfolio since June 30, 2008. At September 30, 2008, the Company had $56.3 million in the approved but not yet closed commercial loan pipeline, of which, $9.5 million are commercial and industrial and $18.6 million are owner-occupied commercial real estate loans and lines of credit.

Securities available-for-sale totaled $249.6 million at September 30, 2008 compared to $224.6 million at December 31, 2007. During the first quarter of 2008, the Company took advantage of a steepening yield curve and market imbalances by borrowing $30.0 million and investing the funds in higher yielding securities.

Deposits decreased to $832.2 million at September 30, 2008 from $863.3 million at December 31, 2007. The decrease was primarily a result of a $10.0 million decrease in municipal deposits and a $23.5 million decrease in non-municipal certificates of deposit. Tightening liquidity in the financial services sector has increased interest rates paid on certificates of deposit and money market accounts and made balances in these types of accounts more vulnerable to above market rates paid by institutions facing liquidity issues. The Company continues to be disciplined in pricing these deposits. The Company's deposits consisted of the following as of the dates indicated:

Stockholders' equity at September 30, 2008 was $121.1 million compared to $130.4 million at December 31, 2007. The decrease during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was primarily due to:

 
--  cash dividends declared during 2008 totaling $3.8 million;
--  repurchases of shares of the Company's common stock during 2008
    totaling $3.0 million;
--  a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income of $2.2 million;
    and
--  a net loss of $1.6 million.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company repurchased 208,113 shares of its common stock at an average price of $14.40 per share, of which 81,388 were purchased pursuant to the repurchase plan approved in March 2008. At September 30, 2008, the Company had 448,612 shares remaining to be repurchased under this plan. Since its initial public offering, the Company has repurchased an aggregate of 14,054,160 shares of its common stock at an average price of $12.23 per share.

The regulatory capital ratios of the Bank continued to exceed all regulatory requirements. At September 30, 2008, the Bank remained "well-capitalized" under the Office of Thrift Supervision's regulatory capital guidelines with a total capital to risk-weighted assets equal to 14.38% compared to 13.93% at December 31, 2007.
