LAPORTE BANCORP, INC. ANNOUNCES 2013 EARNINGS

LaPorte, Indiana, January 28, 2014 – LaPorte Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) (Nasdaq: LPSB), the holding company for The LaPorte Savings Bank (the “Bank”), announced today that its reported net income for the year ended December 31, 2013 totaled $4.0 million, or $0.69 per diluted share, compared to net income of $4.3 million, or $0.72 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2012. The Company’s net income for the three months ended December 31, 2013 totaled $908,000, or $0.16 per diluted share, compared to net income of $945,000, or $0.16 per diluted share, for the comparable period of 2012.

“Our results for 2013 reflect consistent earnings while managing through a challenging interest rate environment and a significant slowdown in residential mortgage activity as refinance activity declined,” said Lee A. Brady, Chief Executive Officer of LaPorte Bancorp, Inc. “As expected, the rise in interest rates in the second half of the year had a significant impact on both our residential mortgage and warehouse lending activity. We spent a great deal of time and resources on building our residential lending team and infrastructure throughout the last six months of 2013 with the opening of our St. Joseph, Michigan loan production office and the addition of a residential originator in our Porter County, Indiana market. As a result, we realized an increase in our mortgage loan originations during the fourth quarter of 2013 compared to the third quarter of 2013. We also saw an increase in new commercial loan originations totaling $10.8 million during the fourth quarter, which helped to increase gross loans by 7.0% from September 30, 2013.”

“Our asset quality has continued to improve throughout 2013 with nonperforming assets decreasing 34.2% from 2012,” continued Brady. “Our nonperforming assets to total assets ratio was 1.16% at December 31, 2013, which is the lowest level we have experienced since September 30, 2008. These positive trends allowed for a significant reduction in our provision for loan losses in 2013 compared to the previous year.”

“During the fourth quarter of 2013, we also implemented a repurchase program for our common stock,” Brady added. “The program was well received, and we have repurchased 302,189 shares for a total of $3.3 million as of January 28, 2014. The repurchases were viewed by the Board of Directors as a way to create long-term shareholder value, and we continue to review strategies for the use of our capital to benefit our shareholders.”

Net interest income decreased $314,000, or 8.0%, to $3.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2013 from $3.9 million for the prior year period. Net interest margin decreased to 3.16% for the three months ended December 31, 2013 compared to 3.54% for the prior year period. The decrease in the net interest margin was primarily attributable to a decrease in interest income on loans of $547,000 combined with a decrease in yields earned on securities due to the low interest rate environment and a decrease in the average outstanding loan balances over the same time period. This decrease in loan interest income was partially offset by a decrease in interest expense on deposits and borrowings totaling $110,000 during the three months ended December 31, 2013.

Interest income decreased $424,000, or 8.7%, to $4.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2013 compared to $4.9 million for the prior year period. Interest and fee income on mortgage warehouse loans decreased $366,000 in the fourth quarter of 2013 when compared to the prior year period primarily due to a decrease in both the average outstanding balances and the average yield on such loans. The fourth quarter of 2013 was impacted by the industry-wide decrease in mortgage loan originations and refinances. In addition, interest and fee income from commercial business and commercial real estate loans decreased $57,000 and $39,000, respectively, for the three months ended December 31, 2013 when compared to the prior year period due to decreases in the average outstanding balances and the average yield of such loans. Interest and fees related to mortgage loans held in portfolio decreased by $24,000 due to a decrease of $4.0 million, or 10.6%, in the average outstanding balances which was partially offset by an increase in yields as variable rate mortgages increased as a percentage of total outstanding mortgages from the fourth quarter of 2012.

Interest expense decreased $110,000, or 11.6%, to $842,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2013 compared to $952,000 for the prior year period due to a decrease in interest expense on deposits as average balances and rates paid on deposits decreased during the fourth quarter of 2013.

Noninterest income decreased $237,000, or 30.3%, to $545,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2013 from $782,000 for the prior year period. The primary reason for the decrease in noninterest income was due to a $186,000 decrease in gain on mortgage banking activities as mortgage interest rates were higher during the fourth quarter of 2013 compared to the prior year period. The increase in mortgage rates slowed refinance activity and loan sales during the fourth quarter of 2013. Noninterest income for the fourth quarter of 2013 also decreased due to $223,000 in write-downs to fair value and $28,000 of losses on the sales of other real estate related owned properties compared to write-downs to fair value totaling $28,000 for the prior year period. Partially offsetting these decreases was an increase of $164,000 in net gains on sales of securities for the three months ended December 31, 2013 when compared to the prior year period due to an increase in securities sales in order to manage price volatility risk.

Noninterest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2013 decreased $149,000, or 4.6%, to $3.1 million compared to $3.2 million for the prior year period. This decrease in noninterest expense was primarily due to a decrease in salaries and wages expense totaling $229,000 which was related to decreases in the cost of the supplemental retirement plan. In addition, expense related to the Company's employee stock ownership plan decreased from the prior year period due to the additional shares purchased for the plan from the second step conversion, of which a portion was released and expensed during the fourth quarter of 2012. Occupancy expense also decreased as real estate taxes on banked owned properties decreased $123,000 as a result of LaPorte County finalizing their provisional tax bills for previous years.

Partially offsetting the above decreases in noninterest expense was an increase in bank examination fees of $60,000 due to the timing of loan review and other audits and an increase in collection and other real estate owned related expense of $56,000 due to work-out expense and increased real estate taxes on other real estate owned properties. In addition, other expenses increased $21,000 during the fourth quarter of 2013 compared to the prior year period, primarily




due to the Company incurring $150,000 of expenses related to the formation of a captive insurance company which was partially offset by a decrease in charitable contributions, legal and consulting fees, and other expenses. During the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company incurred $58,000 related to the formation of its real estate investment trust.

Net interest income decreased $1.3 million, or 8.3%, to $14.2 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 from $15.4 million for the prior year period. Net interest margin decreased to 3.20% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 compared to 3.57% for the prior year period. The decrease in the net interest margin was partially due to a decrease in interest income on loans of $2.4 million and yields earned on securities due to the continued low interest rate environment combined with an 8.5% decrease in average outstanding loan balances over the same time period. This decrease in loan interest income was partially offset by a decrease in interest expense on deposits and borrowings totaling $971,000 during the twelve months ended December 31, 2013.





Interest income decreased $2.3 million, or 11.4%, to $17.6 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 compared to $19.8 million for the prior year period. Interest and fee income on mortgage warehouse loans decreased $914,000 in 2013 when compared to the prior year period primarily due to a decrease in both the average outstanding balances and the average yield on such loans. The second half of 2013 was impacted by the industry-wide decrease in mortgage originations and refinances due to rising rates on mortgage loans. In addition, interest and fee income from commercial real estate loans and residential mortgage loans held in portfolio decreased $444,000 and $469,000, respectively, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 when compared to the prior year period due to decreases in the average outstanding balances combined with lower average yields earned on such loans.

Interest expense on deposits and borrowings decreased $971,000, or 22.1%, to $3.4 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 compared to $4.4 million for the prior year period. The decrease was related to decreases in the average balances and interest rates paid on both deposits and borrowings during 2013.

Noninterest income decreased slightly to $3.0 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 from $3.2 million for the comparable 2012 period. Gains on mortgage banking activities decreased $424,000 during the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 due to decreases in refinance and purchase activity as mortgage rates increased during the second half of 2013. In addition, other income decreased $183,000 during 2013 when compared to the prior year period due to gains realized in 2012 on the call of certain brokered deposits combined with lower wire transfer fees realized as a result of the decrease in mortgage warehouse activity. Partially offsetting these decreases was an increase of $340,000 from net gains on sales of securities, which were realized to reduce price volatility, and an increase of $129,000 in loan servicing fees due to recent increases in mortgage interest rates which reduced the provision for the valuation allowance on mortgage servicing rights required during 2013.

Noninterest expense for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 increased $116,000, or 1.0%, to $11.9 million compared to $11.8 million for the prior year period. This increase in noninterest expense was primarily due to an increase in data processing of $103,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 when compared to the prior year period due to processing expenses related to the establishment of a real estate investment trust, annual fees related to the Bank’s mobile banking service during 2013, and costs related to certain system upgrades and higher annual license and maintenance fees. The real estate investment trust company was established in January 2013 and the Bank’s mobile banking service was implemented beginning in June 2012. Collection and other real estate owned expense increased $99,000 during the 2013 period compared to the prior year due to increased real estate taxes related to the number of properties held during 2013 when compared to 2012. In addition, other expenses increased $56,000 during 2013 compared to 2012, primarily due to the Company incurring $150,000 of expenses related to the formation of a captive insurance company, which was partially offset by a decrease in charitable contributions, legal and consulting fees, and other expenses. During 2012, the Company incurred $58,000 related to the formation of its real estate investment trust.

These above increases in noninterest expense were partially offset by a decrease in occupancy expense totaling $174,000 primarily related to a reduction in real estate taxes on bank owned properties as LaPorte County finalized the provisional tax bills related to previous years. Salaries and wages expense also decreased for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 by $40,000 which was primarily related to a decrease in the costs of the supplemental retirement plan as well as an increase in the deferred lending costs from new loan originations in 2013. These decreases in salaries and wages expense were partially offset by increases in payroll expense primarily attributable to an increase in the number of mortgage banking personnel compared to the prior year period and normal annual merit pay increases.
 




Asset quality metrics continued to improve during the twelve months ended December 31, 2013. Total nonperforming loans decreased $3.5 million, or 41.3%, to $4.9 million at December 31, 2013 compared to $8.4 million at December 31, 2012. At December 31, 2013, nonperforming loans to total loans ratio decreased to 1.65% from 2.63% at December 31, 2012. Total nonperforming assets decreased $3.2 million, or 34.2%, to $6.1 million at December 31, 2013 from $9.3 million at December 31, 2012. At December 31, 2013, nonperforming assets to total assets ratio decreased to 1.16% from 1.88% at December 31, 2012. The allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans increased to 79.6% at December 31, 2013 compared to 51.5% at December 31, 2012 primarily due to the decrease in nonperforming loans during 2013.

Commercial real estate nonperforming loans decreased by $1.8 million, or 68.1%, during the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 due to the payoff of one relationship totaling $508,000, the transfer to other real estate owned of three relationships totaling $936,000, and the charge-off of one relationship totaling $379,000. In addition, total nonperforming loans decreased from September 30, 2013 due to the fourth quarter sale of an impaired loan secured by land which resulted in a charge-off totaling $112,000 that had been specifically reserved for during the third quarter of 2013.

For the three months ended December 31, 2013, the provision for loan losses was a credit of $200,000 compared to expense of $153,000 for the prior year period. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, provision for loan losses decreased to $6,000 from $1.0 million for the prior year period. The decrease in the provision for both time periods was primarily due to a decrease in the total outstanding gross loan balances when compared to December 31, 2012, a $384,000 decrease in specific reserve requirements related to one commercial real estate relationship based upon updated appraisals, and a continued improvement in asset quality metrics. Gross loans decreased, $20.8 million, or 6.5%, to $297.2 million at December 31, 2013 compared to $318.0 million at December 31, 2012. The provision amounts recorded reflect management’s continuing assessment of the credit quality of the Company’s loan portfolio, which is impacted by various trends, including nonperforming loans, classified assets, charge-off ratios, delinquencies, and current economic conditions. The allowance for loan losses to total loans ratio was relatively stable at 1.31% at December 31, 2013 when compared to 1.35% at December 31, 2012. The allowance for loan losses to total loans ratio was impacted by the decrease in gross loans and the decrease in specific reserve allocations of $332,000 when comparing balances at December 31, 2013 to December 31, 2012.

Total assets at December 31, 2013 increased $34.1 million, or 6.9%, to $526.9 million compared to $492.8 million at December 31, 2012. Total deposits at December 31, 2013 decreased $2.3 million, or 0.7%, to $346.7 million from $349.0 million at December 31, 2012 due to a decrease in time deposits of $7.1 million which were partially offset by an increase of $4.7 million in interest-bearing checking and savings accounts. Total equity decreased $3.7 million to $80.3 million at December 31, 2013 compared to $84.1 million at December 31, 2012 primarily due to a $4.2 million decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income as unrealized securities gains decreased as a result of rising interest rates during 2013 and dividends paid during 2013 totaling $987,000. In addition, total equity decreased by $3.2 million as the Company repurchased 296,009 shares of its common stock in accordance with its repurchase plan announced in October 2013. There were 14,800 shares remaining to be repurchased under this plan at December 31, 2013. These decreases in total equity were partially offset by a $3.0 million increase in retained earnings.

At December 31, 2013, the Bank was considered well capitalized and exceeded its applicable regulatory capital requirements with Tier 1 leverage, Tier 1 risk-based capital, and total risk-based capital ratios of 13.0%, 18.0%, and 19.1%, respectively.
