FIRST ADVANTAGE BANCORP
REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2012 RESULTS
Clarksville, Tennessee. August 13, 2012. First Advantage Bancorp (the “Company”) [Nasdaq: FABK], the holding company for First Advantage Bank (the “Bank”), today announced its results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012. The Company’s net income for the three months ended June 30, 2012, was $595,000 compared to $486,000 for the same period in 2011. For the six months ended June 30, 2012 net income was $1.5 million compared to net income of $844,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011.
Basic earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was $0.15 compared to $0.12 for the three months ended June 30, 2011. Diluted earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2012 amounted to $0.14 compared to $0.11 for the three months ended June 30, 2011. Basic earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $0.38 compared to $0.21 for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Diluted earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2012 amounted to $0.36 compared to $0.20 for the six months ended June 30, 2011.
Results for the first six months of 2012 were positively impacted by a gain of $474,000 ($293,000 after tax) realized during the first quarter of 2012 on the sale of certain investment securities classified as available-for-sale related to investments in pooled trust preferred securities (“PreTSLs”). Excluding the effect of these investment gains, adjusted net income would have been approximately $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Adjusted basic earnings per share would have been approximately $0.31 and adjusted diluted earnings per share would have been approximately $0.29 for the six months ended June 30, 2012. (See reconciliation of net income and earnings per share to adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share, both non-GAAP measures, later in this release)
Nashville, Tennessee Loan Production/Deposit Production Office
As previously announced, on June 12, 2012, the Bank submitted an application for approval with the Tennessee Department of Financial Institutions (the “TDFI”) to open a Loan Production Office and a Deposit Production Office to be located in Nashville, Tennessee. The application was approved and the Bank has since opened an office located at 3100 West End Avenue, Nashville, Tennessee 37203.
"We are pleased with our decision to expand into the Nashville, Tennessee market," stated Earl O. Bradley, III, Chief Executive Officer of the Company. “The Nashville market was recently cited by the Nashville Business Journal to be ranked fourth-strongest economy in the country according to Policom, a Palm City, Florida company that examines local economies and economic development. "We believe our timing is right for execution of this strategy to leverage our growth opportunities and to geographically diversify market risks. A seasoned team of business banking professionals has been recruited for lending and treasury management functions. The Nashville MSA adjoins our current MSA and our lending team has years of experience in providing service to this market. We are finding both small businesses and experienced bankers from larger banks have become frustrated with the red tape of the loan approval process and are welcoming the responsiveness of our community bank. By entering into this new market area we will experience an up-tick in non-interest expense over the course of the next few months primarily in higher salaries and employee benefits and occupancy expense. Throughout the course of our expansion, First Advantage will remain prudent and disciplined in protecting our strong credit standards.”
Capital
The Bank continues to maintain its favorable capital position and is categorized as “well-capitalized” by regulatory standards. At June 30, 2012, the Bank’s total risk-based capital and tier one capital to risk-weighted assets ratios were 19.98% and 18.75%, respectively, and its tier one capital to adjusted total assets ratio was 14.46%. The minimum ratios required to be categorized as “well capitalized” by regulatory standards are 10.00% for total risk-based capital, 6.00% for tier one capital to risk-weighted assets and 5.00% for tier one capital to adjusted total assets.
Dividend Declared
As previously announced, the Board of Directors of the Company, at its July 24, 2012 meeting, declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per common share. The dividend is payable on or about August 17, 2012 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 6, 2012.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income increased $229,000, or 6.7%, to $3.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $3.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, due primarily to reduced interest expense of $172,000, or 17.3%. Net interest income increased $555,000, or 8.2%, to $7.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $6.8 million the six months ended June 30, 2011, due primarily to a reduction in interest expense of $312,000, or 15.4%. The decrease in interest expense for both the three and six month periods was primarily due to lower rates paid to customers on interest-bearing deposits as higher rate, fixed term deposits matured and as market rates declined on interest-bearing transaction accounts. The net interest margin was 4.26% for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to 4.24% for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The net interest margin was 4.29% for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to 4.23% for the six months ended June 30, 2011.
The average balances of interest earning assets increased to $346.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $325.2 million for the same period in 2011, as the average rate earned on these assets declined twenty-five basis points at June 30, 2012. The average loan balances increased by 7.3% in the three month period ended June 30, 2012 compared to the three month period ended June 30, 2011, and average balances of investments available for sale increased by 1.5% for the same comparable periods. The average balances of interest earning assets increased 6.3% to $343.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same period of 2011, as the average rate earned on these assets declined twenty basis points over the same periods. The average loan balances increased by 8.3% for the six month period ended June 30, 2012 compared to the six month period ended June 30, 2011, and average balances of investments available for sale decreased slightly to $69.2 million for the same comparable periods.

The Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $239,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $233,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011.

Non-performing assets totaled $4.9 million, or 1.34% of total assets, at June 30, 2012 compared to $3.1 million, or 0.87% of total assets, at June 30, 2011. The level of classified assets increased from $9.3 million at June 30, 2011 to $15.0 million at June 30, 2012 primarily related to the land and multi-family/nonresidential loan portfolios. Classified assets are primarily loans rated special mention or substandard in accordance with regulatory guidance. These assets warrant and receive increased management oversight and loan loss reserves have been established to account for the increased credit risk of these assets.

Total non-interest income decreased by $14,000, or 2.0%, to $669,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $683,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011.

This increase in non-interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was primarily due to a gain of $474,000 on the sale of securities classified as available-for-sale.
Total non-interest expense increased $82,000, or 2.7%, to $3.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 as compared to the same period in 2011. Total non-interest expense decreased $79,000, or 1.3%, to $6.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 as compared to the same period in 2011.
The provision for income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was $356,000 compared to $338,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $959,000 compared to $528,000 for the same period in 2011.
