ALASKA PACIFIC BANCSHARES, INC. REPORTS
FOURTH QUARTER AND ANNUAL EARNINGS FOR 2013
JUNEAU, Alaska, March 25, 2014 -- Alaska Pacific Bancshares, Inc. (OTCBB: AKPB) (“Company”), the parent company of Alaska Pacific Bank (“Bank”), today reported net loss available to common shareholders of $31,000, or $(0.05) per diluted common share, for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2013, as compared to net income available to common shareholders of $244,000, or $0.33 per diluted common share for the fourth quarter of 2012.
Net income available to common shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2013, was $13,000, or $0.02 per diluted common share, compared to net income available to common shareholders of $166,000, or $0.22 per diluted common share for 2012.
“The financial performance for 2013 should have reflected the progress made from prior years, but was diminished by certain actions taken as the Bank worked through the requirements of the merger with Northrim Bank; a process that was underway for most of 2013. Professional and consulting fees alone increased $417,000, while mortgage banking income was negatively impacted with the decision to close Alaska Pacific Mortgage and cease its secondary market activities. Even with that, we had annual net income before provision for income tax that was higher than 2012.” stated Craig Dahl, President & CEO. “Our net interest income and margin remained comparable to prior year in the face of continued market pressure on net interest margins. Our total noninterest income for 2013 exceeded our 2012 levels primarily because of a $321,000 increase in mortgage servicing income due to the fair value adjustment to mortgage servicing rights. However, this increase was offset with an increase in provision for income taxes of $400,000 as a result of a reduction of deferred income tax assets for amounts determined not to be realizable in future periods offset with a decrease in loss on sale and real estate owned and repossessed asset expense of $210,000 along with a decrease in regulatory assessments of $101,000; all resulting in our income for 2013 being $150,000 lower than 2012. What the financial results do not reflect is the hard work of our employees in preparing for the merger with Northrim. I personally want to thank them for their dedication and commitment.”
“Upon completion of the merger with Northrim, I am confident that our customers will continue to receive outstanding service along with the benefits of expanded products, services and higher lending limits. Northrim Bank is an Alaskan-based community bank with the same ideals and commitment to its customers that Alaska Pacific Bank has maintained since 1935.”
There was no provision for loan losses for the quarter ended December 31, 2013. The provision for loan losses was $60,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2012. The allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2013 was $1.9 million, representing 1.30% of total loans outstanding. Total non-accrual loans were $5.8 million at December 31, 2013 compared with $5.9 million at
September 30, 2013 and $5.7 million at December 31, 2012. In addition, the Bank’s real estate owned and repossessed assets were $368,000 at December 31, 2013 compared with $1.4 million at September 30, 2013 and $344,000 at December 31, 2012. There was $32,000 in net loan charge offs for the quarter ended December 31, 2013 compared with $117,000 in net loan charge offs for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 and $39,000 in net loan charge offs for the quarter ended December 31, 2012.
Net interest income was $2.0 million for the fourth quarters of both 2013 and 2012. Net interest margin on average interest-earning assets for the fourth quarter of 2013 was 4.53% compared with 4.58% in the fourth quarter of 2012.
Loans (excluding loans held for sale and before the allowance for loan losses) were $146.5 million at December 31, 2013, a decrease of $3.8 million, or 2.5% from $150.3 million at September 30, 2013, and a decrease of $1.9 million, or 1.3% from $148.4 million at December 31, 2012. Deposits at December 31, 2013, were $154.5 million, a $6.8 million, or 4.2% decrease from $161.3 million at September 30, 2013, and a $2.0 million, or 1.3% decrease from $156.5 million at December 31, 2012.
Noninterest income for the fourth quarter of 2013, including gain on sale of loans, decreased $168,000, or 27.4% to $445,000 from $613,000 for the fourth quarter of 2012. Gain on sale of loans was $570,000 for both the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. Excluding mortgage banking income, noninterest income increased $300,000, or 25.0%, to $1.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared with $1.2 million for fiscal 2012. The increase is primarily in mortgage servicing income due to the fair value adjustment to mortgage servicing rights net of originations and disposals of $271,000 in 2013 compared with $(35,000) in 2012.
Noninterest expense for the fourth quarter of 2013 increased $169,000, or 7.8%, to $2.3 million from $2.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 and increased $150,000, or 6.9%, from the quarter ended December 31, 2012. Noninterest expense was $8.8 million for both the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.
