"We placed a major focus on diversifying revenue sources in 2012 and our fee based income increased 18.53% over the prior year. Our Wealth Management division alone experienced a 31.50% increase over 2011, exceeding $1.0 million for the first time compared to $785,000 for 2011. Fees for deposit and cash management services also increased 18.91% over the full year 2011. We continue to be focused on growing non-interest income, while offering quality and competitively priced fee based products and services,” explained William S. Latoff, Chairman and CEO.

Core deposits increased 9.13% year-over-year and non-interest income, excluding gains on the sale of investment securities and SBA loans and the write down of OREO properties, was $1.2 million for the fourth quarter, representing a 36.30% increase over 2011 and $3.9 million for the full year 2012, up 17.97% from $3.4 million in 2011.

"We continued to accrue capital through retained earnings and have grown low-cost core deposits, which provide necessary liquidity to meet our funding needs. Our net loan balances declined, but not due to weak loan demand. Gross loans funded in 2012 were $89.7 million compared to $78.7 million in 2011. However, pay-downs were $96.9 million for 2012, up from $71.2 million in 2011."

Net loans for commercial term and commercial mortgage increased $5.6 million and $2.0 million or 7.32% and .82% respectively, while commercial construction declined $12.6 million or 50.65%.

Latoff continued," We focused on reducing our exposure to commercial construction, while  increasing balances for commercial mortgage and term loans, which invest in our communities and build relationships."

Total assets increased $32.5 million or 5.35% to $639.6 million at December 31, 2012 compared to $607.1 million at December 31, 2011. Deposits increased by $32.9 million or 6.61% to $530.4 million at December 31, 2012 compared to $497.5 million at December 31, 2011. Core deposits, i.e., demand deposits, money market accounts, NOW and savings accounts increased $35.8 million in aggregate or 9.13%, while time deposits declined $2.9 million or 2.77% each since December 31, 2011. DNB’s composite cost of funds for the fourth quarter of 2012 dropped 13 basis points to 0.61% compared to 0.74% for the three months ended December 31, 2011.

DNB’s Tier 1 leverage ratio stood at 10.50%, while its total risk-based capital ratio stood at 15.84%, well exceeding minimum accepted regulatory standards for a well-capitalized institution. Stockholders' equity increased $5.6 million to $56.7 million at December 31, 2012 compared to $51.1 million at December 31, 2011, reflecting solid earnings growth.
 
Net interest income was $5.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2012 compared to $5.4 million for the same period in 2011. The decrease for the fourth quarter 2012 was primarily due to lower interest and fees on loans due to lower average net loan balances. Net interest income for the full year 2012 was $22.0 million compared to $21.5 million for 2011.

Non-interest income excluding gains on the sale of investment securities and SBA loans and the write down of OREO properties increased 36.30% for the three months ended December 31, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011. Non-interest income as defined above for the fourth quarter of 2012 was $1.2 million compared to $865,000 for the same period in 2011. Service charges on deposits and fees from wealth management services and products continued their positive trend, exceeding fourth quarter 2011 by approximately $38,000 or 12.00% and $145,000 or 73.02% respectively. Non-interest income as defined above for the full year of 2012 was $3.9 million compared to $3.4 million for 2011, a 17.97% increase.

Non-interest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2012 increased 4.36% or $186,000, compared to the same period in 2011. The variance was due largely to increased costs for occupancy, third party services (mainly legal), charitable contributions, and an increase in the reserve for unfunded commitments, offset in part by lower staffing costs. Non-interest expenses for the full year 2012 increased 3.21% or approximately $537,000 compared to 2011.

During the fourth quarter 2012 and 2011, DNB provided $180,000 and $202,000, respectively, for credit losses. The allowance for credit losses at December 31, 2012 was $6.8 million compared to $6.2 million at December 31, 2011. The allowance as a percentage of total loans and leases increased to 1.72% at December 31, 2012, compared to 1.53% at December 31, 2011.  Our coverage ratio, defined as the allowance for credit losses as a percentage of non-performing loans was 65.54% on December 31, 2012, compared to 80.66% at December 31, 2011.

Non-performing assets (NPAs) declined to $11.67 million at December 31, 2012 from $13.69 million at September 30, 2012 and were flat compared to December 31, 2011.  The decline in NPAs relative to September 30, 2012 was due primarily to the sale of one OREO property for $2.6 million in December of 2012. Included in non-performing assets at December 31, 2012 was $1.24 million in other real estate owned and other repossessed property and $10.43 million in non-performing loans.

"We were able to sell our largest OREO property during the fourth quarter of 2012 and will continue to work diligently to control the level of non-performing assets in 2013," stated William J. Hieb, President and Chief Risk & Credit Officer.
 
The ratio of non-performing loans to total loans was 2.63% at December 31, 2012 up from 2.45% and 1.89% at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. The increase in the ratio is due in part to the decline in net loan balances combined with the addition of two commercial credits totaling $3.2 million.

Latoff concluded: "In many ways, 2012 was a marquee year in achieving some of our key strategic and growth initiatives. We generated record profits, grew total assets and core deposits, and continued to invest in infrastructure and key business lines such as Wealth Management and Retail banking. We acquired a branch in Boothwyn, Pennsylvania, increasing our footprint in Delaware County and increased our dividend to common shareholders. We continued our tradition of giving back to our communities through charitable contributions, scholarships, educational programs, and sponsorships of local events. We’ve continued to follow the same guiding principles that have served us well in both challenging and prosperous economic times: sound underwriting and prudent decision making."
