LSB Financial Corp. Announces First Quarter Results
 
May 8, 2012, Lafayette, IN - LSB Financial Corp. (NASDAQ:LSBI), the parent company of Lafayette Savings Bank, FSB, today reported quarterly earnings of $595,000 or $0.38 diluted earnings per share compared to $205,000 or $0.13 diluted earnings per share a year earlier.  The major contributor to the bank’s performance was a $576,000 decrease in the provision for loan losses, a 49% improvement over last year.  In addition, the gain on the sale of mortgage loans increased $242,000 in the first quarter on the sale of $14 million loans.   Interest income totaled $4.2 million while interest expense continues to fall reaching $910,000 for the first quarter of 2012 compared to $1.1 million for the same period in 2011.  Randolph F. Williams, president and CEO stated, “The core performance of the bank is solid.  The 4.12% net interest margin for this quarter continues to be very favorable.”
 
A positive factor this quarter was the loan loss provision of $600,000 in the first quarter, compared to a provision of $1,176,000 in the same quarter last year.  While we had charge offs of $631,000 this quarter, again primarily because of low appraisal results, we believe the $5.3 million loan loss reserve is adequate for any probable losses in our portfolio.  At quarter end, non-performing assets totaled $12.8 million or 3.44% of total assets, compared to $13.8 million or 3.79%, at the end of 2011.  Williams continued, “We believe it is important as we continue to work with our borrowers that we also prudently set aside reserves.  The $12.8 million of non-performing assets includes $5.8 million loans where the borrower has been able to resume payments but because of regulatory guidelines must remain categorized as non-performing for at least six months to show a pattern of performance.  This quarter we were able to upgrade several loans from this status and expect to see more progress in the coming quarters.  The loan loss reserve now stands at 41.5% of the non-performing assets.  The level of OREO (other real estate owned) is $599,000, an improvement from $1.7 million at year-end.”
 
The bank continues to maintain a strong capital base with a capital-to-asset ratio at March 31, 2012 of 9.90% and a risk-based capital ratio of 15.01%, both of which are well above the current definition of “well-capitalized” as defined by the bank regulators.  Once the new capital requirements mandated under the Dodd-Frank Act become known, we will be better able to set our longer term capital targets.
 
The closing market price of LSB stock on May 7, 2012 was $16.96 per share as reported by the Nasdaq Global Market.
