(the “Company”) (NASDAQ Global Market: LSBK), the holding company for Lake Shore Savings Bank (the “Bank”), announced fourth quarter 2011 net income of $587,000, or $0.10 per diluted share, compared to net income of $895,000, or $0.16 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2010.

“Our Company’s performance remained very solid in the fourth quarter, as illustrated by our net interest income growth, improved net interest margin, increased interest earning assets, and effective operating expense management,” said Daniel P. Reininga, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We believe that our full year performance is indicative of an effective and appropriate approach to business in an economic climate which remains difficult for our industry. The substantive percentage increase in our cash dividend during 2011 reflects our Board’s commitment to returning value to our investors.”
Fourth quarter 2011 net interest income was $3.9 million, an increase of 11.8%, compared to $3.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2010. Fourth quarter 2011 interest income grew by 3.3%, compared with the same period in 2010, reflective of a $15.8 million increase in average loan balances. Interest expense for fourth quarter 2011 decreased by $240,000 or 15.2%, compared to the prior year quarter, reflecting a 24 basis-point decline in the average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities, in addition to a $2.0 million decline in average total balances of interest bearing liabilities.

Net interest income for 2011 increased $1.5 million, or 11.2%, to $15.1 million compared to the prior year. Total interest income was $20.8 million, an increase of $839,000, or 4.2%, compared to 2010, reflective of a $12.5 million increase in average loan balances. Total interest expense for 2011 was $5.6 million, a reduction of $680,000, or 10.8%, compared to 2010. Reduced 2011 interest expense resulted from a $10.0 million decline in the average balance of long-term debt along with a 69 basis-point decline in the average rate on borrowings, along with an increase in the ratio of non-interest bearing deposits to total deposits, compared with 2010.
Fourth quarter 2011 net interest margin was 3.39%, up 28 basis points compared to 3.11% for fourth quarter 2010, reflecting an $11.5 million increase in interest earning assets along with a 4 basis-point improvement in the average yield, as well as a $2.0 million decrease in average interest bearing liabilities combined with a 24 basis-point decline in the average rates paid. The net interest margin for 2011 was 3.34%, a 13 basis-point improvement over the prior year due to a $28.6 million increase in average interest earning assets, partially offset by an 11 basis-point decline in the average yield, and a $20.7 million increase in average interest bearing liabilities, offset by a 27 basis-point decline in the average rates paid on these balances.
Non-interest income for the fourth quarter of 2011 decreased $682,000 or, 98.1%, compared to fourth quarter 2010. The variance was primarily a result of an other than temporary impairment (OTTI) write-down of $500,000 on Lake Shore Bancorp’s entire investment in common stock of a small, local payment processing company which was recognized in fourth quarter 2011. The remainder of the variance was due to a gain of $142,000 recorded in fourth quarter 2010 which represented the recovery of a previously recognized impairment loss on an available for sale security, and a $40,000 decline in non-interest income in fourth quarter 2011, primarily as a result of lower bank service charges and fees.
Full-year 2011 non-interest income declined by $1.8 million to $1.7 million, primarily related to the $1.1 million gain in sale of securities from the investment portfolio in 2010, and the $500,000 OTTI write-down occurring in fourth quarter 2011. Exclusive of these two items, non-interest income was down approximately $231,000, primarily as a result of lower service charges and fees. The lower service charges and fees reflect the 2010 implementation of federal regulations which required disclosure of overdraft fees and enabled customers to “opt out” of these types of fees.
Non-interest expense for fourth quarter 2011 was $2.7 million, a reduction of $140,000, or 4.9%, compared to fourth quarter 2010, reflecting lower FDIC insurance premiums, professional service fees and advertising expenses. For 2011, non-interest expense was $11.3 million, a decrease of $226,000, compared to 2010. The decrease in non-interest expense for the year resulted primarily from a $205,000 decrease in salary and benefit expenses and a $183,000 reduction in FDIC insurance premiums.
The Bank’s fourth quarter 2011 provision for loan losses was $120,000, a reduction of $20,000, or 14.3%, compared to the prior year quarter. The Bank’s 2011 provision for loan losses was $415,000, compared to $2.1 million in 2010, and represents a continuation of its generally stable asset metrics. The 2010 provision included $1.7 million which was primarily related to the charge-off of three commercial loans to a single commercial loan customer.
The Bank’s allowance for loan losses as a percent of total net loans on December 31, 2011, was 0.50%, an increase of 14 basis points from December 31, 2010. The Bank’s allowance for loan losses as a percent of non-performing loans increased to 48.82% at December 31, 2011, compared to 40.71% at December 31, 2010. Nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans were 1.02% as of December 31, 2011, an increase of 13 basis points compared to the 2010 year end. The Bank’s ratio of nonperforming loans to total loans remains significantly below industry averages.
