ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER 2011 EARNINGS
ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER 2011 EARNINGS
COLDWATER, MICHIGAN, August 3, 2011 Monarch Community Bancorp, Inc. (Nasdaq Capital Market:
MCBF), the parent company of Monarch Community Bank, today announced a loss for the quarter ended
June 30, 2011 of ($70,000) based on net loss available to common shareholders compared to a net
loss available to common shareholders of ($6.9 million) for the quarter ended June 30, 2010. Basic
and diluted losses per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 were ($.04) compared to ($3.49)
for the same period in 2010. Monarch Community Bancorp also reported net income for the first six
months of 2011 of $40,000 compared to a net loss of ($8.2 million) for the same period a year ago.
Basic and diluted losses per share for the six months ended June 30, 2011 were $.02 compared to
($4.16) for the same period in 2010.
We are pleased with the continued positive trajectory of the banks performance, stated Rick
DeVries, President and CEO. We have completed three comprehensive external loan reviews over the
last twelve months, with no recommendations for additional loan loss provisions or charge-offs. In
addition, our total non-performing assets have declined from $27.3 million at June 30, 2010 to
$15.2 million at June 30, 2011. That constitutes a 44% drop in non-performing assets over a 12
month period, and is reflective of our constant focus on improving credit quality.
In addition to improving credit quality, we increased our sources of fee income through the
opening of two new residential mortgage origination offices in Kalamazoo and Okemos, Michigan.
Management is evaluating additional sites for mortgage origination offices in markets with
attractive demographic factors.
Total interest income decreased from $3.2 million in the second quarter of 2010 to $2.7
million in the second quarter of 2011. This $492,000 decrease is largely due to a decrease in total
loans from period to period. Total interest expense declined $408,000 from $1.4 million in the
second quarter of 2010 to $977,000 in the second quarter of 2011. This was due to the overall cost
of funds decreasing by 51 basis points and a decrease in higher cost Federal Home loan Bank
advances. The combined effect of these changes resulted in net interest income decreasing from
$1.9 million for the second quarter in 2010 to $1.8 million in the second quarter of 2011.
The net interest margin for the second quarter of 2011 increased 17 basis points to 3.00%
compared to 2.83% for the same period in 2010. The improvement in the margin is largely due to the
decline in cost of funds as the management continues to monitor cost of funds. Management
believes that the cost of funds will continue to decline as higher cost funding sources are
eliminated or reduced. The decrease in nonperforming loans and the reduced associated
nonaccrual interest adjustment have also significantly impacted the margin. The yield on loans has
increased from 5.61% in the second quarter of 2010 to 5.88% for the same period in 2011.
Net interest income after the provision for loan losses increased $7.0 million, for the three
months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. For the three months ended June 30,
2010, the Bank recorded a provision for loan losses of $7.0 million where no provision was recorded
in the second quarter of 2011. The reduced level of provision was attributable to
1
the continued decrease in non-performing assets and decrease in net charge off activity. The
Company continues to monitor real estate dependent loans and focus on asset quality. Non-performing
assets totaled $15.2 million at the end of the second quarter of 2011, a decrease of $12.1 million
from June 30, 2010. Net charge offs for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 were $598,000 compared to
$1.1 million for the same period in 2010. Year to date 2011 net charge offs totaled $1.6 million
compared to $3.5 million for the same period a year ago.
Non-interest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 decreased $126,000, or 14.75%, from
$854,000 to $728,000 compared to the same period a year ago. This decrease is attributable to a
decrease in fees from overdraft protection, and other income, offset by an increase in gain on sale
of loans. Non-interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2011 decreased $152,000, or 7.9%,
compared to the same period in 2010.
Noninterest expense decreased $8,000, or .32% for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 compared to the
same period a year ago. Salaries and employee benefits decreased $66,000. The decline in
personnel expense was primarily attributable to a decline in general staffing. Professional
services decreased $59,000 primarily due to decreases in legal fees associated with nonperforming
loans. Foreclosed property expense increased $86,000 for the quarter due to an increase in
additional write down of other repossessed property and increased expenses from maintenance costs
and taxes on a higher level of properties in other repossessed property. All other expenses
increased $31,000. Noninterest expense decreased $139,000, or 2.8%, for the six months ended June
30, 2011 compared to the same period ending a year ago
Total assets were $243.0 million at June 30, 2011 compared to $256.9 million at December 31, 2010.
Total loans decreased $14.6 million (8.0%), to $168.1 million at June 30, 2011 from $182.8 million
at December 31, 2010. Deposits decreased $8.3 million, or (4.0%), to $197.8 million during the
second quarter from $206.0 million at of the end of 2010.
Stockholders equity increased to $12.2 million at June 30, 2011 compared to $12.0 million at
December 31, 2010. The Bank must meet certain minimum capital requirements to satisfy federal and
state laws. Monarch Community Banks capital ratios for June 30, 2011 were as follows, tier 1
leverage ratio: 4.75% and total risk based ratio: 8.89. In May of 2010, the Bank agreed with
FDIC to develop a plan to increase its tier 1 leverage ratio to 9% and total risk based ratio to
11%. The Bank is pursuing all opportunities to raise capital and was considered adequately
capitalized according to the FDIC definition as of June 30, 2011.
