FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
DELANCO BANCORP ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER
AUGUST 1, 2011
DELANCO, NEW JERSEY
Delanco Bancorp, Inc. (Delanco) (OTCBB: DLNO.OB), the parent company of Delanco Federal Savings Bank (the Bank), today announced its financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2011.
For the three months ended June 30, 2011, Delanco recorded net earnings of $111 thousand as compared to $132 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2010. Earnings per share for the quarter ending June 30, 2011 was $0.07, compared to $0.08 per share for the quarter ending June 30, 2010.
“We are pleased to announce our results for our first quarter ended June 30, 2011,” said James E. Igo, Chairman and President of Delanco. “The quarterly results showed continued earnings. The first quarter of this fiscal year marks the seventh consecutive quarter of profitability for us. Our results, however, were negatively impacted this quarter by a loss sustained on the sale of a repossessed property.”
“Our assets remained virtually the same as last quarter. Within the asset mix we had increases in our loan portfolio, primarily residential mortgages, offset by decreases in cash and cash equivalents, investment securities and real estate owned.”
“We continue to reduce our reliance on higher costing deposits and achieved a deposit growth of $838 thousand, with core deposits growing by $2.3 million while the more expensive time deposits decreased by $1.5 million. These changes in the deposit mix have helped us improve our net interest margin.”
“We had an increase of $569 thousand in non-performing residential mortgages. Although the economy continues to put pressure on our borrowers, this increase is primarily due to an estate situation that we expect to be resolved in the next quarter.”
Balance Sheet
Total assets remained virtually the same, as they decreased $36 thousand from March 31, 2011 to $136.1 million. Within the asset mix, net loans increased by $1.6 million while investment securities decreased by $428 thousand, cash and cash equivalents by $630 thousand and real estate owned by $401 thousand.
Total deposits increased by $838 thousand, or 0.7% to $121.7 million as of June 30, 2011 compared to $120.8 million as of March 31, 2011. Core deposits grew $2.3 million and time deposits decreased by $1.5 million. Borrowings decreased to $1.0 million at June 30, 2011 from $2.1 million at March 31, 2011.
At June 30, 2011, stockholders’ equity equaled $12.3 million, or 9.1% of total assets, compared to $12.2 million, or 9.0% at March 31, 2011. The increase in stockholders’ equity was primarily due to the increase in retained earnings.
Asset Quality
Non-performing loans totaled $6.2 million, or 4.55% of total assets at June 30, 2011, compared to $5.4 million, or 3.97% at March 31, 2011. At June 30, 2011 non-performing loans consisted of $2.6 million in commercial real estate loans and $3.6 million in residential mortgages. Net recoveries over charge-offs during the quarter ended June 30, 2011 were $5 thousand, compared to $26 thousand in net charge-offs during the quarter ended June 30, 2010. The allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2011 totaled $1.4 million or 1.28% of total loans outstanding, compared to $1.3 million or 1.22% of total loans outstanding at March 31, 2011.
Delanco recorded a provision for loan losses of $75 thousand during the quarter ended June 30, 2011, compared to a provision of $150 thousand for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 due to the limited growth and stabilization in our loan portfolio.
Net Interest Income
Delanco’s net interest income increased by $24 thousand, or 2.1% to $1.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 as compared to $1.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2010.
The net interest margin increased to 3.79% for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, an increase of 20 basis points from the quarter ended June 30, 2010, reflecting a steady return on interest earning assets and a decline in the interest cost on interest bearing liabilities.
Other Income
Other income decreased by $48 thousand to a negative $4 thousand for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2010. During the first quarter 2011 Delanco incurred a loss from the sale of a piece of real estate owned of $56 thousand. Other income aside from the loss on the sale of real estate owned for the quarter increased by $8 thousand over the previous period .
Other Expenses
Other expenses increased by $43 thousand for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the quarter ending June 30, 2010 primarily due to increases in Federal deposit insurance costs and increased data processing costs.
