ViewPoint Financial Group, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2011 Earnings
Net Income Increased by $3.9 million to $6.6 million
Net Income Increased by $3.9 million to $6.6 million
PLANO, Texas, April 28, 2011 ViewPoint Financial Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: VPFG) (the Company), the
holding company for ViewPoint Bank, announced financial results today for the quarter ended March
31, 2011. Detailed results of the quarter will be available in the Companys Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q, which will be filed today and posted on our websites, http://www.viewpointbank.com and
http://www.viewpointfinancialgroup.com.
Performance Highlights
| Net income increased by 142%: Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2011,
which includes a $2.2 million net of tax gain on sale of securities, increased by $3.9
million, or 142.3%, to $6.6 million, compared to $2.7 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2010. |
| Basic and diluted EPS doubled from prior year period: Basic and diluted earnings per
share for the three months ended March 31, 2011, was $0.20, up $0.10 from the three months
ended March 31, 2010. |
| NPL ratio declined 13 basis points from December: Non-performing loans decreased by
$1.6 million from December 31, 2010, to March 31, 2011, improving the ratio of
non-performing loans to total loans by 13 basis points to 1.46% at March 2011, compared to
1.59% at December 2010. |
| Lower deposit and borrowing rates fueled an increase in net interest margin: The net
interest margin increased 13 basis points to 2.80% for the three months ended March 31,
2011, from 2.67% for the three months ended March 31, 2010. |
| Deposit growth of $15.5 million: Deposits increased by $15.5 million from December 31,
2010, primarily due to growth of $22.6 million in interest-bearing demand accounts. |
During the first quarter of 2011, we saw improvements to our already solid asset quality when
compared to our Texas peers, as well as sustained deposit growth, said Gary Base, President and
Chief Executive Officer. We are continuing to take steps to reduce our cost of funds by lowering
deposit and borrowing costs.
Results of Operations for the Quarter Ended March 31, 2011
Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2011, was $6.6 million, an increase of $3.9
million, or 142.3%, from net income of $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Net
income for the three months ended March 31, 2011, included a $3.4 million pre-tax gain on the sale
of available for sale securities. The increase in net income, which was also driven by higher net
interest income and a lower provision for loan losses, was partially offset by a $706,000 decline
in the net gain on sales of loans. Our basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months
ended March 31, 2011, was $0.20, a $0.10 increase from $0.10 for the three months ended March 31,
2010.
Net Interest Spread and Margin
The net interest rate spread increased 12 basis points to 2.52% for the three months ended March
31, 2011, from 2.40% for the same period last year. The net interest margin increased 13 basis
points to 2.80% for the three months ended March 31, 2011, from 2.67% for the same period last
year. The increase in the net interest rate spread and margin was primarily attributable to lower
deposit and borrowing rates. Over the past year, we have adjusted the terms on our Absolute
Checking product and certain money market accounts and modified $91.6 million in FHLB advances to
reduce our cost of funds.
The net interest margin declined by 18 basis points from 2.98% for the fourth quarter of 2010
primarily due to a decline in Warehouse Purchase Program balances, as the average balance of
Warehouse Purchase Program loans declined by $207.9 million, from $481.5 million for the quarter
ended December 31, 2010, to $273.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2011. The seasonal
decline, as well as the overall decline in the mortgage market, resulted in higher average balances
of lower-yielding earning assets and lower average balances of short-term borrowings for the
quarter. Additionally, the sale of securities during the first quarter of 2011 also contributed
to the decline in the margin, as the proceeds from the sale were reinvested into lower-yielding,
floating-rate agency securities.
Financial Condition as of March 31, 2011
Total assets decreased by $146.0 million, or 5.0%, to $2.80 billion at March 31, 2011, from $2.94
billion at December 31, 2010. The decrease in total assets was primarily due to a $173.0 million
decrease in mortgage loans held for sale, primarily attributable to a decline in Warehouse Purchase
Program balances, a $28.7 million decrease in short-term interest-bearing deposits in other
financial institutions and a $17.5 million decrease in securities available for sale. This
decrease was partially offset by a $91.2 million increase in securities held to maturity.
Loan Portfolio and Asset Quality
Gross loans (including $319.0 million in mortgage loans held for sale) decreased by $178.5 million,
or 11.2%, to $1.42 billion at March 31, 2011, from $1.60 billion at December 31, 2010. Mortgage
loans held for sale decreased by $173.0 million, or 35.2%, from December 31, 2010, with $160.4
million of this variance being attributable to a reduction in Warehouse Purchase Program loans
purchased for sale under our standard loan participation agreement. The remaining $12.6 million of
the decline was associated with loans originated for sale by our mortgage banking subsidiary,
ViewPoint Mortgage (VPM), which originated $86.2 million in one- to four-family mortgage loans
during the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to $96.4 million during the first quarter of
2010 and $129.2 million during the fourth quarter of 2010. Of the $86.2 million originated during
the three months ended March 31, 2011, $59.0 million were sold or committed to be sold to
investors, generating a net gain on sale of loans of $1.9 million. The remaining $27.2 million of
VPM production was retained in the Companys loan portfolio. The decrease in mortgage production
seen in the Warehouse Purchase Program and VPM is primarily attributable to an overall decline in
the mortgage market as refinance volume has dropped industry-wide, as well as seasonal fluctuations
in mortgage activity.
Commercial real estate loans, which generated $8.1 million in interest income during the three
months ended March 31, 2011, increased by $4.1 million, or 0.8%, from December 31, 2010. Our
commercial real estate portfolio consists almost exclusively of loans secured by existing,
multi-tenanted commercial buildings. 89% of our commercial real estate loan balances are secured
by properties located in Texas, a market that we do not believe has experienced the same level of
economic pressure experienced in certain other geographic areas in the United States.
Our non-performing loans to total loans ratio at March 31, 2011, was 1.46%, compared to 1.59% at
December 31, 2010. Non-performing loans decreased by $1.6 million, from $17.6 million at December
31, 2010, to $16.0 million at March 31, 2011. The decrease in non-performing loans from December
2010 to March 2011 was primarily due to a $1.9 million decrease in non-performing one- to
four-family mortgage loans. One- to four- family mortgage loans totaling $2.2 million were
considered non-performing at December 31, 2010, but were not considered non-performing at March 31,
2011. The vast majority of these loans were either paid off or returned to performing status
during the three months ended March 31, 2011.
Our allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2011, was $15.5 million, or 1.41% of total loans,
compared to $14.8 million, or 1.34% of total loans, at December 31, 2010. Our allowance for loan
losses to non-performing loans was 96.66% at March 31, 2011, compared to 84.22% as of December 31,
2010.
Securities Portfolio
In February 2011, the Company sold 17 mortgage-backed securities and six collateralized mortgage
obligations, which resulted in a pre-tax gain on sale of $3.4 million. These securities had a fair
value of $99.8 million at December 31, 2010. The securities sale, along with the securities
purchased with sales proceeds, was part of an asset liability management strategy to lower asset
duration and position the Company for a rise in market interest rates.

Conversion, Reorganization and Related Stock Offering
The Company was organized by ViewPoint MHC, ViewPoint Financial Group and ViewPoint Bank to
facilitate the second-step conversion of ViewPoint Bank from the mutual holding company structure
to the stock holding company structure (the Conversion). Upon consummation of the Conversion,
which occurred on July 6, 2010, the Company became the holding company for ViewPoint Bank and now
owns all of the issued and outstanding shares of ViewPoint Banks common stock. As part of the
Conversion, shares of the Companys common stock were issued and sold in an offering to certain
depositors of ViewPoint Bank and others. Concurrent with the offering, each share of ViewPoint
Financial Groups common stock owned by public shareholders was exchanged for 1.4 shares of the
Companys common stock, with cash paid in lieu of issuing fractional shares. The Company sold a
total of 19,857,337 shares of common stock at $10.00 per share in the offering. Proceeds from the
offering, net of $7.8 million in expenses, totaled $190.8 million.
