Sound Financial Reports Eleventh Straight Profitable Quarter

Non-performing assets decrease to less than 2% of total assets

SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--November 1, 2012--Sound Financial Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ:SFBC), holding company for Sound Community Bank (the “Bank”), today reported net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 of $612,000, or $0.23 per diluted share, as compared to net income of $181,000, or $0.07 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2011. Return on average assets was 0.67% for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 compared to 0.21% for the quarter ended September 30, 2011. Total assets increased to $366.5 million as of September 30, 2012 compared to $355.1 million as of June 30, 2012.

This is the eleventh consecutive quarter of positive earnings for the Company.

Highlights as of and for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 include:

- The Company completed a successful stock offering during the quarter, which raised $14.2 million and increased equity to total assets to 11.54% as of September 30, 2012

- Net interest margin decreased to 4.91% for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 from 5.22% for the quarter ended September 30, 2011

- Efficiency ratio decreased to 56.67% for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 compared to 63.70% for the quarter ended September 30, 2011

- Deposit cost of funds was 0.68% for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 compared to 0.89% for the quarter ended September 30, 2011

- Provision for loan losses decreased to $1.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 from $1.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2011

- Non-performing loans to gross loans was 1.41% as of September 30, 2012 compared to 2.13% as of September 30, 2011

- Non-performing assets to total assets was 1.88% as of September 30, 2012 compared to 2.84% as of September 30, 2011

Laurie Stewart, President and CEO, said “This was a breakthrough quarter in terms of reducing non-performing assets. In particular the reduction of non-performing loans is an indication of improving asset quality for the Bank and for the industry as a whole.” Stewart also commented on the Company’s successful stock offering, “We are pleased to have become a fully public company and in the meantime generate additional capital which will allow us to further increase lending in the communities where we do business.”


During October 2012, Sound Community Bank filed an application to convert from a federally chartered savings bank to a Washington state-chartered commercial bank. As a federally chartered savings bank, the Bank’s regulators are the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (FDIC). As a Washington commercial bank, the Bank’s regulators would be the Washington State Department of Financial Institutions (WDFI) and the FDIC. The Fed would remain as the primary federal regulator for the Company. While the proposed conversion requires regulatory approval, the Bank expects the new charter to become effective in December 2012. The change is intended to reduce regulatory examination costs and to move oversight of the Bank to the WDFI which is focused on the local community banks and financial institutions. The charter conversion will not affect customers in any way, and they will continue to receive the same protection on deposits through the FDIC.
