BANK MUTUAL CORPORATION REPORTS EARNINGS FOR
THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2011
Milwaukee, Wisconsin
April 14, 2011
Bank Mutual Corporation (NASDAQ: BKMU) reported net income in the first quarter of 2011 of $1.0 million or $0.02 per diluted share compared to $2.1 million or $0.05 per diluted share during the same period in the previous year. Net income for these periods represented a return on average assets (“ROA”) of 0.16% and 0.24%, respectively, and a return on average equity (“ROE”) of 1.33% and 2.09%, respectively. The decline in net income between these periods was principally due to a decline in gains on sales of investments, offset in part by an increase in net interest income.
Michael T. Crowley, Jr., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Bank Mutual Corporation (“Bank Mutual”), commented, “We are very pleased that we have returned to profitability so soon after the loss we experienced in the fourth quarter of 2010.” Mr. Crowley added, “The favorable impact of our decision to repay high-cost borrowings last December has, as anticipated, positively impacted our net interest income, which almost doubled from what it was in the fourth quarter of last year.” David A. Baumgarten, President of Bank Mutual, commented

further, “We are also pleased that our loan loss provision returned to a much lower level during the quarter compared to late 2010. Although our non-performing loans increased modestly during the period, based on a current analysis we are cautiously optimistic that our problem loans will be lower by the end of 2011.” Mr. Baumgarten continued, “We’ve completed an extensive review of our loan portfolio and have a good handle on our troubled loans. Reducing the level of non-performing loans will continue to be our top priority for the near term.”
Bank Mutual’s net interest income increased by $1.7 million or 12.1% during the first quarter of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. This increase was primarily attributable to an improvement in Bank Mutual’s net interest margin between the quarters, which increased to 2.82% in the 2011 period compared to 1.76% in the 2010 period. This increase was principally the result of Bank Mutual’s early repayment of $756.0 million in high-cost borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) of Chicago in December of last year, which contributed to a significant decline in the average cost of Bank Mutual’s interest-bearing liabilities in the first quarter of 2011 compared to the same quarter in 2010, as well as the amount of liabilities outstanding.
Bank Mutual’s provision for loan losses was $3.2 million during the first quarter of 2011 compared to $3.4 in the same quarter last year. The losses in both periods have been affected by continuing weak economic conditions, high unemployment, and lower values for real estate. These conditions have been particularly challenging for borrowers whose loans are secured by commercial real estate, multi-family real estate, and developed and undeveloped land. Beginning in the later part of last year, management began to notice an increase in vacancy rates, a decline in rents, and/or delays in unit sales for many of the properties that secure Bank Mutual’s loans. In many instances, management’s observations have included loans that borrowers and/or loan guarantors have managed to keep current despite underlying difficulties with the collateral properties. During the first quarter of 2011, Bank Mutual recorded $3.2 million in loss provisions against a number of commercial real estate and business loan relationships, the largest of which was a $903,000 loss on a $3.6 million loan relationship secured by multi-family dwellings. Although the borrower was current with respect to all principal and interest payments, management concluded that it was likely the borrower would not be able to continue to service the debt. In addition, Bank Mutual also recorded a $569,000 loss on a $8.3 million loan secured by an apartment complex and undeveloped land. This loss was based on an updated independent appraisal that was received during the quarter and was in addition to $1.5 million that was recorded against this loan in 2010. Remaining losses during the quarter tended to be on smaller commercial real estate and business loan relationships and, to a lesser extent, consumer and single-family residential loans.
During the first quarter of the previous year Bank Mutual recorded $2.2 million in loss provisions against four unrelated loan relationships aggregating $10.2 million that defaulted during that period. These loans are secured by office, commercial, and retail buildings, developed land, and equipment and inventory. In addition, Bank Mutual recorded $1.0 million in additional losses against two unrelated loan relationships aggregating $13.9 million that had defaulted in earlier periods.
Service charges on deposits increased by $78,000 or 5.6% during the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to the same quarter in 2010. Management attributes this improvement to an increase in Bank Mutual’s core deposit accounts, consisting of checking, savings, and money market accounts, which increased by $97.6 million or 11.7% during the twelve months ended

March 31, 2011. In addition, management believes that unfavorable economic conditions during much of 2009 and 2010 resulted in reduced spending by consumers in general during those periods, which had an adverse impact on Bank Mutual’s transaction fee revenue, which consists principally of ATM, debit card, and overdraft fees.
Brokerage and insurance commissions were $614,000 during the first quarter of 2011, a $28,000 or 4.8% improvement over the same period in the previous year. This improvement was principally due to increased sales of tax-deferred annuity products in 2011 compared to 2010. It is not unusual for sales of such products to increase during periods of lower interest rates, when the returns on annuities improve relative to other investment alternatives such as certificates of deposit. In the first quarter of last year, this revenue item also benefited from higher commissions on sales of other equity investments due to favorable trends in equity markets during that time frame.
Net loan-related fees and servicing revenue was $251,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to $158,000 in the same period of 2010. The following table presents the primary components of net loan-related fees and servicing revenue for the periods indicated:

Loan-related fees and servicing revenue, net
  $ 251     $ 158  
     
Gross servicing fees and related amortization increased in the 2011 period compared to the 2010 period as a result of an increase in the amount of loans that Bank Mutual services for third-party investors. As of March 31, 2011, Bank Mutual serviced $1.1 billion in loans for third-party investors compared to $1.0 billion at March 31, 2010. Loan-related fees and servicing revenue is also impacted by changes in the valuation allowance that is established against mortgage servicing rights. The change in this allowance is recorded as a recovery or charge, as the case may be, in the period in which the change occurs.
Gains on sales of loans were $596,000 in the first quarter of 2011 compared to $653,000 in the same period last year. During the first quarter of 2011 sales of one- to four-family mortgage loans were $57.6 million compared to $45.9 million for the same period in 2010. Loans held for sale were $3.9 million at March 31, 2011, compared to $37.8 million at December 31, 2010. Despite an increase in loan sales in the first quarter of 2011 compared to the first quarter of last year, loan sales actually have declined in recent months due to slightly higher interest rates for fixed-rate, single-family mortgage loans. Bank Mutual typically sells these loans in the secondary market. If this trend continues, Bank Mutual expects that gains on sales of loans in 2011 will be significantly lower than they were in 2010.

Net gains on investment activities were $1.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to $4.4 million during the same period in 2010. In the period just ended Bank Mutual sold a $20.8 million investment in a mutual fund that management did not expect would perform well in a higher interest rate environment. In the first quarter of the prior year, Bank Mutual sold $167.6 million in longer-term, mortgage-related securities. At the time, management considered these sales to be prudent in light of expectations that interest rates may trend higher in the future.
Total non-interest expense was $17.1 million in the first quarter of 2011 compared to $16.6 million in the same quarter last year. This increase was primarily attributable to a $686,000 or 7.9% increase in compensation-related expense in the 2011 quarter compared to the 2010 quarter. This increase was principally due to an increase in compensation expense related to Bank Mutual’s hiring of certain key management personnel over the past few months. In April 2010 Mr. Baumgarten joined Bank Mutual as President and more recently hired two new senior vice presidents to manage commercial banking and credit administration and risk. In addition, Bank Mutual recently hired several commercial relationship managers experienced in originating loans and selling deposit and cash management services to the mid-tier commercial banking market, defined by Bank Mutual as business entities with sales revenues of $10 to $100 million. This is a new market segment for Bank Mutual.
Also contributing to the increase in compensation-related expense in the 2011 quarter compared to the same period in the prior year was an increase in costs related to Bank Mutual’s defined-benefit pension plan. This increase was caused by an increase in the number of qualified participants in the plan in recent periods, as well as a decline in the interest rate used to determine the present value of the pension obligation.
The increase in compensation-related expense between the 2011 and 2010 quarters was partially offset by a decline in ESOP expense in 2011 compared 2010. Last year marked the scheduled end of a 10-year commitment to the ESOP. Bank Mutual does not intend to make additional contributions to the ESOP at this time. However, this decision is subject to review on a periodic basis and contributions may be reinstated in future periods.
Losses on foreclosed real estate were $685,000 during the first quarter of 2011 compared a loss of $955,000 in the same quarter last year. In the past year Bank Mutual has experienced elevated losses on foreclosed real estate due to lower real estate values and weak economic conditions. If these conditions persist, future losses on foreclosed real estate could remain elevated in the near term.
Income tax expense was $361,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to $1.1 million in the same period of 2010. Bank Mutual’s effective tax rate (“ETR”) for the three month periods in 2011 and 2010 was 26.0% and 33.3%, respectively. Bank Mutual’s ETR was lower in the 2011 period because non-taxable revenue, such as earnings from bank-owned life insurance (“BOLI”), comprised a larger percentage of pre-tax earnings than it did in 2010.
Bank Mutual’s portfolio of one- to four-family mortgage loans increased slightly from $531.9 million at December 31, 2010, to $534.9 million at March 31, 2011. In recent quarters Bank Mutual has elected to retain certain fixed-rate one- to- four family loans with maturities of up to 15 years in its loan portfolio, rather than selling such loans in the secondary market. In addition, with the recent increase in market interest rates on one- to four-family loans, fewer borrowers

with adjustable-rate loans have elected to refinance into fixed-rate loans, which Bank Mutual typically sells in the secondary market.
Multi-family and commercial real estate mortgage loan originations were $14.6 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2011, compared to $5.2 million during the same period in 2010. Despite this increase, Bank Mutual’s aggregate portfolio of multi-family and commercial real estate mortgage loans decreased slightly from $495.5 million at December 31, 2010, to $494.4 million at March 31, 2011. Originations of construction and development loans were $7.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to $4.1 million during the same period in 2010. Despite this increase, Bank Mutual’s portfolio of construction and development loans declined by $13.9 million or 16.6% during the three months ended March 31, 2011. This decrease was caused in part by the reclassification of certain construction and development loans to permanent loans as a result of the completion of construction.
Commercial business loan originations in the quarter ended March 31, 2011, were $12.1 million compared to $4.4 million in the same period in 2010. Bank Mutual’s portfolio of commercial business loans increased by $3.4 million or 6.8%, from $50.1 million to $53.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011.
Consumer loan originations, including fixed-term home equity loans and home equity lines of credit, were $16.8 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2011, compared to $15.2 million during the same period in the prior year. Bank Mutual’s consumer loan portfolio declined from $243.5 million at December 31, 2010, to $237.8 million at March 31, 2011.
Management has taken proactive steps in recent months to improve the outlook for loan growth at Bank Mutual. Mr. Baumgarten noted, “We have expanded our commercial banking capabilities in recent months, to include the hiring of additional experienced commercial relationship managers. We expect to add a few more experienced relationship managers during the remainder of 2011.” Mr. Baumgarten continued, “We have the capital and management expertise to continue to be a stable, reliable partner for our business and retail customers in Wisconsin and expect to introduce additional products and services in the coming months.”
Bank Mutual’s interest-earning deposits, which consist primarily of overnight deposits held at the Federal Reserve of Chicago, declined from $184.4 million at December 31, 2010, to $57.4 million at March 31, 2011. This decline was caused by the security purchases described in the next paragraph, as well as a decrease in deposit liabilities, as described in a subsequent paragraph.
Bank Mutual’s available-for-sale securities portfolio increased by $119.3 million or 18.0% during the three months ended March 31, 2011. This increase was primarily the result of the purchase of $168.8 million in medium-term government agency mortgage-backed securities (“MBSs”) and collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”) during the period. The impact of these purchases was partially offset by the sale of a $20.8 million mutual fund, as previously described.
Foreclosed properties and repossessed assets increased by $3.2 million or 16.7% during the quarter ended March 31, 2011. This increase was caused by foreclosures related to a number of smaller commercial real estate loans and, to a lesser extent, single-family residential loans.

Deposit liabilities decreased by $60.3 million or 2.9% during the quarter ended March 31, 2011, to $2.02 billion compared to $2.08 billion at December 31, 2010. Core deposits, consisting of checking, savings, and money market accounts, declined by $19.4 million or 2.0% during the period while certificates of deposit declined by $41.0 million or 3.6%. Core deposits were higher than typical at December 31, 2010, due to the timing of certain local government tax deposits which had not been withdrawn as of that date. With respect to certificates of deposit, Bank Mutual has reduced the rates it offers on this product during the past year in an effort to manage its overall liquidity position, which has resulted in a decline in certificates of deposit.
Bank Mutual’s borrowings, which consist of advances from the FHLB of Chicago, were $149.7 million at March 31, 2011, compared to $149.9 million at December 31, 2011. As previously noted, Bank Mutual repaid $756.0 million in high-cost borrowings from the FHLB of Chicago in December of last year. Bank Mutual recorded an $89.3 million expense in the fourth quarter of 2010 as a result of a prepayment penalty for this repayment. However, Bank Mutual also significantly reduced the average cost of its interest-bearing liabilities as a result of the repayment, as previously noted. Management believes that additional funds are available to be borrowed from the FHLB of Chicago or other sources in the future to fund loan originations or security purchases if needed or desirable; however, management does not expect additional borrowings to be significant in the near term. There can be no assurances of the future availability of borrowings or any particular level of future borrowings. The loan programs offered by the FHLB of Chicago are not related to funding programs offered by the U.S. government under its Troubled Asset Relief Program, more commonly known as “TARP,” in which Bank Mutual has not participated.
Other liabilities declined to $34.0 million at March 31, 2011, from $45.0 million at December 31, 2010. Most of this decline was seasonal, caused by a decline in drafts payable related to disbursement of customer escrow deposits near the end of 2010.
Shareholders’ equity declined slightly from $313.0 million at December 31, 2010, to $312.6 million at March 31, 2011. This decline was primarily due to Bank Mutual’s payment of $1.4 million in cash dividends, offset in part by $1.0 million in net income for the period. Also contributing to the decline in shareholders’ equity was an increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss, due to a modest increase in the unrealized loss on Bank Mutual’s available-for-sale securities. Bank Mutual’s ratio of shareholders’ equity to total assets was 12.36% at March 31, 2011, compared to 12.07% at December 31, 2010. Book value per share of Bank Mutual’s common stock was $6.82 at March 31, 2011, compared to $6.84 at December 31, 2010.
Bank Mutual’s subsidiary bank is “well capitalized” for regulatory capital purposes. As of December 31, 2010 (the latest information available), the subsidiary bank’s total risk-based capital ratio was 17.86% and its Tier 1 capital ratio was 9.12%. The minimum percentages to be “adequately capitalized” under current supervisory regulations are 8% and 4%, respectively. The minimums to be “well capitalized” are 10% and 5%, respectively.
During the first quarter of 2011 Bank Mutual paid a cash dividend of $0.03 per share to shareholders. While Bank Mutual’s capital remains strong, regulators have continued to focus on the capital levels of financial institutions such as Bank Mutual’s bank subsidiary and have often requested capital levels above stated requirements. In addition, in 2010 Congress enacted the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) which, when fully effective, will impose capital requirements on savings and loan holding

6


 

companies such as Bank Mutual. These developments, and other future requirements which may be imposed by regulators, may impact the ability of Bank Mutual and/or its subsidiary bank to pay dividends or, in the case of Bank Mutual, repurchase stock. During the first quarter of 2011 Bank Mutual did not repurchase any shares of its common stock nor did its board of directors authorize a program for the purchase of additional shares.
Bank Mutual’s non-performing loans were $124.3 million or 9.39% of loans receivable as of March 31, 2011, compared to $122.9 million or 9.29% as of December 31, 2010. Non-performing assets, which includes non-performing loans, were $146.8 million or 5.80% of total assets and $142.2 million or 5.49% of total assets as of these same dates, respectively. Classified loans, which consist of loans rated by management as “special mention” or “substandard” and which include all non-performing loans, were $170.9 million at March 31, 2010, compared to $158.5 million at December 31, 2010. Bank Mutual’s elevated level of non-performing loans and assets, as well as classified loans, is due to continuing weakness in economic conditions, low values for commercial and multi-family real estate, and high unemployment rates in recent years, which has resulted in increased stress on borrowers and increased loan delinquencies. Many properties securing Bank Mutual’s loans have experienced increased vacancy rates, reduced lease rates, and/or delays in unit sales, as well as lower real estate values. During the fourth quarter of 2010 in particular, management increased its assessment of the number of loans secured by commercial real estate, multi-family real estate, undeveloped land, and commercial business assets that are or will likely become collateral dependent. In many instances, management’s assessment included loans that borrowers have managed to keep current despite underlying difficulties with the properties that secure the loans. As of March 31, 2011, non-performing loans included $48.2 million in loans that were current on all contractual principal and interest payments, but which management determined should be classified as non-performing in light of underlying difficulties with the properties that secure the loans, as well as an increasingly strict regulatory environment. Bank Mutual has continued to record periodic interest payments on these loans in interest income provided the borrowers have remained current on the loans and provided, in the judgment of management, Bank Mutual’s net recorded investment in the loan has been deemed to be collectible.
Bank Mutual’s allowance for loan losses declined to $43.5 million or 3.29% of total loans at March 31, 2011, compared to $48.0 million or 3.63% at December 31, 2010. As a percent of non-performing loans, Bank Mutual’s allowance for loan losses was 35.0% at March 31, 2011, compared to 39.0% at December 31, 2010. The decrease in the allowance was caused by $7.6 million in net charge-offs that was only partially offset by the additional loss allowances established during the period, as described earlier in this release. During the period Bank Mutual charged off $1.9 million on two loans from the same borrower that aggregated $6.1 million and which were paid off during the period. In addition, Bank Mutual charged off $3.7 million on four unrelated loans that aggregated $6.8 million on which management commenced foreclosure proceedings during the period. For the most part, these allowances were established in prior periods.
Management believes the allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2011, was adequate to cover probable and estimable losses in Bank Mutual’s loan portfolio as of that date. However, future increases to the allowance may be necessary and results of operations could be adversely affected if future conditions differ from the assumptions used by management to determine the allowance for loan losses as of the end of the period.
