CFS Bancorp, Inc. Reports Net Income for the Second Quarter of 2012

MUNSTER, IN - July 31, 2012 - CFS Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: CITZ), the parent of Citizens Financial Bank, today reported net income of $1.4 million, or $.13 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2012, an increase from net income of $1.2 million, or $.11 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2011. The Company’s net income for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $1.8 million, or $.17 per diluted share, compared to $1.7 million, or $.16 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2011.

Financial results for the quarter include:

w
Loans receivable increased $6.7 million to $713.6 million from March 31, 2012 due to a $10.5 million increase in commercial and industrial, commercial real estate owner occupied, and commercial real estate multifamily loans partially offset by a decrease in retail loans;
w
Net charge-offs for the second quarter of 2012 totaled $856,000, a decrease from $1.7 million for the first quarter of 2012 and $1.1 million for the second quarter of 2011;
w
Non-performing assets increased to $71.1 million compared to $65.7 million at March 31, 2012 primarily due to transfers of commercial real estate non-owner occupied, commercial construction and land development, commercial and industrial, and one-to-four family residential loans to non-accrual status;
w
Core deposits, which decreased $22.7 million primarily due to proactive efforts by management to achieve reductions in four large single-service relationships, continue to represent a larger portion of total deposits at $604.5 million, which is 62.5% of total deposits, compared to $627.2 million, or 62.4% of total deposits, at March 31, 2012 and $570.6 million, or 59.2% of total deposits, at June 30, 2011;
w
Net interest margin was relatively stable at 3.42% in the second quarter of 2012 compared to 3.43% in the first quarter of 2012 and decreased from 3.59% in the second quarter of 2011;
w
The Company’s tangible common shareholders’ equity to total assets ratio increased to 9.24% at June 30, 2012 compared to 8.83% at March 31, 2012 and 8.99% at December 31, 2011; and
w
The Bank’s Tier 1 core capital ratio increased to 8.56% at June 30, 2012 compared to 8.11% at March 31, 2012 and 8.26% at December 31, 2011, and the total risk-based capital ratio increased to 13.35% from 13.23% at March 31, 2012 and 12.65% at December 31, 2011.

Chief Executive Officer’s Comments

“Our quarterly results reflect our determination to grow client relationships while reducing our cost structure,” said Daryl D. Pomranke, Chief Executive Officer. “We realized a 23% reduction in total non-



CFS Bancorp, Inc. - Page 2

interest expense for the second quarter of 2012 compared to the same period last year. This is primarily due to an 80% reduction in credit related non-interest expenses and an 11% decrease in compensation and employee benefit expenses resulting from our first quarter Voluntary Early Retirement Offering (VERO), branch closings, and outsourcing. Our full-time equivalent employees decreased to 261 at June 30, 2012 from 303 at December 31, 2011.”    

“Our High Performance Checking program continues to bring in new core deposit relationships and is providing deeper cross sell opportunities for those new clients than we have historically experienced,” continued Pomranke. “We are beginning to see some stronger commercial loan demand resulting in an increase in total loans at June 30, 2012. We are continuing to build lending relationships while maintaining our high credit quality standards for underwriting that we put in place during 2008.”

“Our nonperforming asset levels remain stubbornly high as we transferred a number of loan relationships to non-accrual status during the quarter,” added Pomranke. “At June 30, 2012, $13.9 million, or 26.8%, of our non-accrual loans are current and performing in accordance with their terms. We expect to make significant progress in reducing non-performing assets over the next few quarters.”

Update on Strategic Growth and Diversification Plan

We continue to focus our efforts on reducing the level of non-performing loans, seeking to either restructure specific non-performing credits or foreclose, obtain title, and transfer the property to other real estate owned where management can take control of and liquidate the underlying collateral. Our ratio of non-performing loans to total loans increased to 7.27% at June 30, 2012 from 6.55% at March 31, 2012, primarily due to transfers to non-accrual status of $4.4 million of non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans, $1.5 million of commercial construction and land development loans, $840,000 of one-to-four family residential loans, and $435,000 of commercial and industrial loans. Of the loans transferred to non-accrual during the second quarter of 2012, $5.8 million are current and performing in accordance with their agreements. The ratio of non-performing assets to total assets increased to 6.28% at June 30, 2012 compared to 5.61% at March 31, 2012. See the Asset Quality table in this press release for more detailed information.

We also remain focused on reducing non-interest expense, which decreased during the second quarter of 2012 to $8.5 million from $10.2 million for the first quarter of 2012 and $11.1 million for the second quarter of 2011. These decreases were primarily related to a significant decrease in net other real estate owned related expense and loan collection expense, lower compensation and employee benefit expense due to the previously announced VERO, the March 31, 2012 branch closings in Orland Park and Bolingbrook, Illinois, the outsourcing of certain support activities, and lower professional fees. The number of FTE employees decreased to 261 at June 30, 2012 from 273 at March 31, 2012 and 315 at June 30, 2011. See the “Non-Interest Income and Non-Interest Expense” section in this press release for more detailed information.

We continue to target specific segments in our loan portfolio for growth, including commercial and industrial, owner occupied commercial real estate, and multifamily, which in the aggregate comprised 55.6% of the commercial loan portfolio at June 30, 2012, compared to 54.5% at March 31, 2012 and 53.1% at June 30, 2011. Our focus on deepening client relationships continues to emphasize core deposit growth. Total core deposits as a percentage of total deposits increased to 62.5% at June 30, 2012 from 62.4% at March 31, 2012 and 59.2% at June 30, 2011. The increase was primarily related to clients transferring maturing certificates of deposit to money market accounts given the current low interest rate environment.



CFS Bancorp, Inc. - Page 3

In addition, the Bank’s High Performance Checking (HPC) deposit acquisition marketing program implemented during the first quarter of 2012 further enhanced growth in core deposits while attracting a younger demographic with 66% of the new retail accounts in the 20-49 age group which will continue to provide additional cross-sell opportunities. Since the inception of the program in February 2012, the Bank opened 3,839 new core deposit accounts compared to 1,755 accounts opened in the same period a year ago, with 50% of the accounts being new relationships. The HPC program generated $5.8 million in new core deposit growth since its inception.

Pre-tax, Pre-Provision Earnings, As Adjusted1

Pre-tax, pre-provision earnings, as adjusted, increased $602,000, or 24.2%, to $3.1 million for the second quarter of 2012 compared to $2.5 million for the second quarter of 2011. These increases were primarily due to increases in gains on sales of loans held for sale along with decreases in compensation and employee benefits expense and professional fees. Partially offsetting these positives was a modest decrease in net interest income.

The pre-tax, pre-provision earnings, as adjusted, for the six months ended June 30, 2012 increased $1.8 million, or 45.8%, to $5.9 million compared to $4.0 million for the 2011 period primarily due to increases in gains on sales of loans held for sale, income from bank-owned life insurance from the first quarter 2012 death of an insured, and decreases in compensation and employee benefits, professional fees, and FDIC insurance premiums and regulatory assessments. These favorable variances were partially offset by an increase in marketing expenses due to the HPC promotion and a decrease in net interest income.

The net interest margin remained stable at 3.42% for the second quarter of 2012 compared to 3.43% for the first quarter of 2012 and decreased 17 basis points from 3.59% for the second quarter of 2011. Net interest income was relatively stable at $8.9 million for both the first and second quarters of 2012 and decreased slightly from $9.2 million for the second quarter of 2011. The net interest margin, while stable with the prior quarter, continues to be pressured by the higher levels of liquidity, modest loan demand, and elevated level of non-performing assets. The second quarter 2012 increase in yields on investment securities compared to the first quarter of 2012 was primarily related to late first quarter 2012 purchases of higher yielding floating-rate securities as well as higher accretion income related to a $10.8 million increase in principal paydowns. The level of non-performing loans continues to negatively affect the yield on loans receivable. The net interest margin was positively affected by a four basis point decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities from the first quarter of 2012 and a 21 basis point decrease compared to the second quarter of 2011.

Interest income totaled $10.5 million for the second quarter of 2012 which was relatively stable compared to $10.6 million for the first quarter of 2012 and decreased 6.1% from $11.2 million for the second quarter of 2011. The fluctuation from the second quarter of 2011 is primarily related to the reinvestment of proceeds from sales and maturities of investment securities in lower yielding investments and maintaining higher levels of short-term liquid investments due to the lack of suitable higher yielding investment alternatives in the current low interest rate environment combined with modest loan demand.

Interest expense decreased 5.8% to $1.6 million for the second quarter of 2012 compared to $1.7 million for the first quarter of 2012 and 21.9% from $2.0 million for the second quarter of 2011. Our continuing success in increasing the proportion of core deposits to total deposits and continued disciplined pricing on new and renewing certificates of deposit contributed to the decrease in interest expense during the second quarter of 2012.

Non-Interest Income and Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest income decreased $181,000, or 6.4%, to $2.6 million for the second quarter of 2012 compared to the first quarter of 2012 primarily due to a $378,000 decrease in income from bank-owned life insurance relating to the death in the first quarter of 2012 of an insured combined with a decrease of $113,000 related to gains on sales of investment securities. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in gains on sales of other real estate owned properties totaling $133,000, a $69,000 increase in service charges and other fees combined with a $44,000 increase in card-based fees.

Non-interest income decreased $1.9 million, or 41.8%, from $4.5 million for the second quarter of 2011 primarily due to a $2.2 million decrease in gains on the sale of other real estate owned which was partially offset by increases of $174,000 in gains on the sale of loans held for sale related to our expanded residential loan origination and mortgage banking activities, $132,000 in gains on the sale of investment securities, and $57,000 in card-based fees. Excluding net gains and losses on sales of investment securities and other real estate owned, non-interest income increased $125,000 compared to the second quarter of 2011 primarily due to the increases in gains on the sale of loans held for sale and card-based fees partially offset by a decrease in income from bank-owned life insurance.

Non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2012 decreased $1.7 million, or 16.3%, to $8.5 million compared to $10.2 million for the first quarter of 2012 primarily due the severance and retirement compensation expense of $876,000 recorded for the VERO program during the first quarter of 2012 combined with decreases in net other real estate owned related expenses of $302,000, compensation and



CFS Bancorp, Inc. - Page 5

employee benefits of $246,000, and marketing expense of $82,000. Excluding the severance and retirement compensation expenses, non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2012 decreased $789,000, or 8.5%, from the first quarter of 2012.

Non-interest expense during the second quarter of 2012 decreased $2.5 million, or 22.8%, to $8.5 million from $11.1 million for the second quarter of 2011 due to lower net other real estate owned expenses of $1.7 million, compensation and employee benefits expense of $580,000, professional fees of $136,000, and loan collection expenses of $114,000. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in marketing expense of $52,000 due to the HPC product promotions.

Income Tax Expense

During the second quarter of 2012, we recorded income tax expense of $541,000, equal to an effective tax rate of 28.5%, compared to $425,000, or an effective tax rate of 25.6%, for the second quarter of 2011. During the first quarter of 2012, we recorded an income tax benefit of $166,000 due to the lower pre-tax income and tax sheltering effect of the income from bank-owned life insurance. We also increased the deferred tax asset valuation allowance by $166,000 resulting in no income tax benefit for the first quarter of 2012.

The deferred tax asset valuation allowance was unchanged at $6.5 million at June 30, 2012 compared to March 31, 2012. Although realization of the current net deferred tax assets of $16.3 million is not assured, management believes it is more likely than not that all of the recorded deferred tax assets will be realized. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during tax loss carryforward periods are reduced.

Total non-performing loans increased to $51.9 million at June 30, 2012 from $46.3 million at March 31, 2012 primarily due to transfers to non-accrual status of $4.4 million of non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans, $1.5 million of commercial construction and land development loans, $840,000 of one-to-four family residential loans, and $435,000 of commercial and industrial loans. Of the



CFS Bancorp, Inc. - Page 6

loans transferred to non-accrual status during the second quarter of 2012, $5.8 million are current and performing in accordance with their loan agreements.

The provision for loan losses was relatively stable at $1.15 million for the second quarter of 2012 compared to $1.05 million for the first quarter of 2012 and increased modestly from $1.0 million for the second quarter of 2011.

The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans increased to 1.69% at June 30, 2012 compared to 1.66% at March 31, 2012 primarily due the increase in the provision for loan losses partially offset by an increase in total loans. When it is determined that a non-performing collateral-dependent loan has a collateral shortfall, management immediately charges-off the collateral shortfall. As a result, we are not required to maintain an allowance for loan losses on these loans as the loan balance has already been written down to its net realizable value (fair value less estimated costs to sell the collateral). As such, the ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans and the ratio of the allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans has continued to be negatively affected by cumulative partial charge-offs of $17.4 million recorded through June 30, 2012 on $32.6 million (net of charge-offs) of non-performing collateral dependent loans. At June 30, 2012, the ratio of the allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans, excluding the $32.6 million of non-performing collateral dependent loans with partial charge-offs, was 62.8%.

During the second quarter of 2012, we transferred three loan relationships to other real estate owned totaling $1.2 million. We also sold seven other real estate owned properties aggregating $879,000 and recognized net gains of $86,000 on these sales. We continue to explore ways to reduce our overall exposure in our non-performing assets through various alternatives, including using A/B note structures and the potential sale of certain of these assets. We currently have contracts for the sale of certain other real estate owned properties which will reduce non-performing assets by $2.7 million with no anticipated loss on sale, presuming the transactions close as scheduled and pursuant to the contract terms.

Total loans receivable increased $6.7 million at June 30, 2012 from March 31, 2012 primarily due to $9.0 million of new commercial real estate owner occupied loans. Loan fundings during the three months ended June 30, 2012 totaled $31.3 million, a modest decrease compared to $32.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. Loan fundings during the second quarter of 2012 were partially offset by loan payoffs and amortization of $12.3 million, residential mortgage loan sales of $11.0 million, and transfers to other real estate owned totaling $1.2 million.
 
Through the execution of our Strategic Growth and Diversification Plan and our focus on lending to small- to medium-sized businesses, we continue to diversify our loan portfolio and reduce loans not meeting our current defined risk tolerance. Our targeted growth segments within the loan portfolio, including commercial and industrial and owner occupied and multifamily commercial real estate loans, increased to 55.6% of the commercial loan portfolio at June 30, 2012 compared to 54.5% at March 31, 2012. Commercial participations decreased $636,000, or 9.0%, to $6.5 million compared to $7.1 million at March 31, 2012 primarily due to the payoff of a performing commercial participation loan and a principal repayment on a nonperforming participation during the second quarter of 2012.

At June 30, 2012, our total commercial loans outstanding that were originated prior to January 1, 2008 (Pre-1/1/08) decreased to $187.9 million, or 38.9% of total commercial loans outstanding compared to $194.0 million, or 41.1%, at March 31, 2012 and $202.6 million, or 42.8%, at December 31, 2011. Please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 for a more detailed discussion of our Pre-1/1/08 commercial portfolio.

During the second quarter of 2012, we sold $11.0 million of conforming one-to-four family fixed-rate mortgage loans into the secondary market and recorded a gain on sale of $200,000. We hired four additional seasoned mortgage loan originators in the last year to expand mortgage loan originations to

generate additional income from our mortgage banking activities which has resulted in an increase in one-to-four family mortgage originations to $26.2 million during the first six months of 2012, a 149% increase from the first six months of 2011.

During the first quarter of 2012, we implemented our HPC deposit acquisition marketing program that targets both retail and business clients. The program is designed to attract a younger demographic and enhance growth in core deposits and related fee income as well as to provide additional cross-selling opportunities. The HPC program has generated approximately $5.8 million in new core deposit growth since the inception of the program. In addition, core deposits during 2012 also benefited from clients moving maturing certificates of deposit into money market accounts due to the current low interest rate environment. The decrease in core deposits from March 31, 2012 is primarily a result of our proactive efforts to review the pricing and cross-sell potential of some of our larger single-service deposit relationships which enabled us to decrease the level of excess liquidity in this low interest rate environment, while at the same time improve our Tier 1 core capital ratios.

Borrowed funds decreased during the second quarter of 2012 primarily due to decreased borrowings from repurchase agreements, which will fluctuate depending on our client’s liquidity levels.

Shareholders’ Equity

Shareholders’ equity at June 30, 2012 increased to $104.6 million from $103.3 million at March 31, 2012 primarily related to net income of $1.4 million for the quarter.

At June 30, 2012, the Company’s tangible common equity was $104.6 million, or 9.24% of assets, compared to $103.3 million, or 8.83% of assets at March 31, 2012. At June 30, 2012, the Bank’s Tier 1 core capital ratio increased to 8.56% from 8.11% at March 31, 2012 and the total risk-based capital ratio



CFS Bancorp, Inc. - Page 9

increased to 13.35% from 13.23% at March 31, 2012. Both the Tier 1 core capital ratio and the total risk-based capital ratio exceeded “minimum” and “well capitalized” regulatory capital requirements at June 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012.

Our accounting and reporting policies conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and general practice within the banking industry. We use certain non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate our financial performance and have provided the non-GAAP financial measures of pre-tax, pre-provision earnings, as adjusted, and pre-tax, pre-provision earnings, as adjusted, to average assets. In these non-GAAP financial measures, the provision for loan losses, other real estate owned related income and expense, loan collection expense, and certain other items, such as gains and losses on sales of investment securities and other real estate owned and severance and retirement compensation expenses, are excluded. We believe that these measures are useful because they provide a more comparable basis for evaluating financial performance excluding certain credit-related costs and other non-recurring items period to period and allows management and others to assess our ability to generate pre-tax earnings to cover our provision for loan losses and other credit-related costs. Although these non-GAAP financial measures are intended to enhance investors’ understanding of our business performance, these operating measures should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP.
