Exhibit 99.1
STATE INVESTORS BANCORP, INC. REPORTS FIRST QUARTER RESULTS
Metairie, Louisiana – May 3, 2012 – State Investors Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) (Nasdaq: SIBC), the holding company of State-Investors Bank, reported net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, of $210,000, a decrease of $9,000, as compared to net income of $219,000 reported for the quarter ended March 31, 2011. Earnings per share, basic and diluted, were $0.07 for the quarter ended March 31, 2012.
The decrease in net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 resulted primarily from a $71,000, or 2.6%, decrease in total interest income, a decrease of $4,000, or 7.1%, in non-interest income, and an increase of $170,000, or 11.6%, in non-interest expense. Net interest income increased $162,000, or 9.0%, due to a $233,000, or 25.3% decrease in total interest expense as a result of an overall decline in the average cost of funds. The increase in non-interest expense was primarily due to an increase in professional expense of $67,000, or 203.0%, as well as increases of 56,000, or 7.2%, in salaries and employee benefits expense, and $28,000, or 18.5%, in occupancy expenses, partially offset by decreases of $38,000, or 48.1%, in deposit insurance premiums and $12,000, or 52.2% in advertising. A $30,000 provision for loan losses was made during the quarter ended March 31, 2012.
At March 31, 2012, the Company reported total assets of $248.4 million, a decrease of $1.2 million, or 0.5%, compared to total assets of $249.6 million at December 31, 2011. The decrease primarily reflects decreases in cash and cash equivalents of $3.5 million, or 45.3% and investment securities of $1.3 million, or 2.4%, partially offset by an increase of $4.3 million, or 2.5%, in net loans receivable. Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas amounted to $46.0 million at March 31, 2012, compared to $42.3 million at December 31, 2011, an increase of $3.7 million, or 8.7%. At March 31, 2012, the Company reported $4.6 million of non-performing assets, or 1.9%, of total assets at such date, compared to $2.2 million of non-performing assets, or 1.0%, of total assets at March 31, 2011.
Total shareholders’ equity increased $425,000, or 0.9%, to $48.4 million at March 31, 2012, from $48.0 million at December 31, 2011, primarily due to net income of $210,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, and an increase in unrealized gain on securities available for sale of $203,000 net of the deferred tax effect.
