Announces Third Quarter and Year-to-Date 2012 Results

MONESSEN, PA— October 31, 2012 - FedFirst Financial Corporation (NASDAQ Capital: FFCO; the “Company”), the parent company of First Federal Savings Bank (the “Bank”), today announced net income of $649,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $290,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, an increase of $359,000 or 123.8%. Basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.23 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $0.10 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, an increase of $0.13 per share or 130.0%. The Company reported net income of $1.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $804,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, an increase of $895,000 or 111.3%. Basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.60 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.28 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, an increase of $0.32 per share or 114.3%.

“While the uncertain economic environment and intense competition create challenging headwinds, we are very pleased with the strong results we posted this quarter,” said Patrick G. O’Brien, President and CEO. “Net interest income edged down slightly, but we were able to balance the reduction in the loan and investment portfolios with modifications to our deposit rate structure and pay-offs of borrowings that allowed us to achieve a net interest margin that was consistent with the prior year.  Noninterest income increased over the prior year primarily due to higher income from our insurance activities, and adjustments to our compensation arrangements and branch structure reduced noninterest expense.”

Third Quarter Results

Net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2012 decreased $56,000, or 2.1%, to $2.6 million compared to $2.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011. Paydowns and payoffs of higher yielding loans and securities resulted in a $404,000 decline in interest income. This was partially offset by interest rate reductions on deposits that resulted in a $238,000 decrease in deposits expense and payoffs on borrowings that resulted in a $110,000 decrease in borrowings expense.

The provision for loan losses was $100,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $325,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The provision decreased primarily due to a decline in charge-offs. Net recoveries were $3,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to net charge-offs of $200,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011.

Noninterest income increased $103,000, or 14.2%, to $830,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $727,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 primarily due to an $80,000 increase in insurance commissions. In addition, the death of a former director in the current period resulted in the recognition of $33,000 in income from a bank-owned life insurance policy.

Noninterest expense decreased $310,000, or 11.5%, to $2.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $2.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011. Compensation expense decreased $154,000 primarily due to the termination of the Company’s supplemental executive retirement plan in the fourth quarter of 2011. Occupancy expense decreased $79,000 primarily due to fully depreciated assets and a decrease in rent due to branch consolidation in the prior year. In addition, professional services decreased $57,000 primarily due to costs associated with a branch facilities assessment in the prior period.

Year-to-Date Results

Net interest income decreased $212,000 to $7.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $8.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Paydowns and payoffs of higher yielding loans and securities resulted in a $1.1 million decline in interest income.  This was partially offset by interest rate reductions on deposits that resulted in a $537,000 decrease in deposits expense and payoffs on borrowings that resulted in a $391,000 decrease in borrowings expense.

The provision for loan losses was $310,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $775,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. In the prior period, adjustments to the qualitative factors used in determining the allowance for loan losses contributed to the larger provision amount. Net charge-offs were $317,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $480,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Noninterest income increased $212,000, or 9.1%, to $2.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $2.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. In the current period, there was an $82,000 increase in insurance commissions and a financed real estate owned property was paid off which resulted in the recognition of $66,000 of income that had previously been deferred. In addition, fees and service charge income increased $43,000 primarily due to changes in the Bank’s fee structure and related customer activity and the death of a former director in the current period resulted in the recognition of $33,000 in income from a bank-owned life insurance policy.

Noninterest expense decreased $947,000, or 11.5%, to $7.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $8.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Compensation expense decreased $564,000 primarily due to the termination of the Company’s supplemental executive retirement plan in the fourth quarter of 2011 and a decrease in stock-based compensation expense due to the final vesting of restricted stock awards and options. Occupancy expense decreased $197,000 primarily due to fully depreciated assets and a decrease in rent due to a branch consolidation in the prior year. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s insurance premiums decreased $47,000 due to the revised assessment methodology implemented in the second quarter of 2011. Professional services decreased $61,000 primarily due to costs associated with a branch facilities assessment in the prior period. Other miscellaneous expense decreased $98,000 primarily due to a decrease in real estate owned, postage and employee-related expenses.

Balance Sheet Review

Total assets decreased $13.6 million to $321.6 million at September 30, 2012 compared to $335.3 million at December 31, 2011. Securities available-for-sale decreased $3.9 million due to calls and paydowns, including a $2.0 million call of a Government Sponsored Enterprise security and a $665,000 partial call of a municipal bond, that was partially offset by the purchase of $10.9 million of securities, including $6.1 million in REMICs, $2.7 million in tax exempt municipal bonds, and $2.1 million in mortgage-backed securities.  Net loans decreased $3.7 million primarily as a result of payoffs and paydowns on one-to-four family mortgage and commercial business loans partially offset by growth in commercial real estate and home equity loans. In addition, borrowings decreased $11.5 million due to the payoff of $8.0 million of matured advances and paydowns on amortizing advances.  Deposits decreased $1.5 million principally in certificates of deposit partially offset by an increase in noninterest-bearing and interest-bearing demand deposits.
