Sound Financial Bancorp, Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2014 Earnings
Quarterly net income is $1.2 million, or $0.47 per share
Seattle, Wash., July 28, 2014 -- Sound Financial Bancorp, Inc. (Nasdaq: SFBC), the holding company (the "Company") for Sound Community Bank (the "Bank"), today reported net income of $1.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, or $0.47 per diluted common share, as compared to net income of $1.1 million, or $0.43 per diluted common share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2013.
"As we mark the halfway point of 2014, we continue to execute on our business plan.  Both loans and deposits increased this quarter demonstrating our commitment to the communities we serve," said President and CEO Laurie Stewart.  "Adoption of new technologies such as Business Mobile Banking and Business EZ Deposit help us remain relevant in the marketplace while enhancing our commitment to sustainability. Earnings were up 23.2% quarter over quarter as a result of increased revenue with no significant increases in expense."
Sound Financial Bancorp, Inc. ranked 9th in the region in the Seattle Times' Best of the Northwest Top Companies 2013.  In addition, the Puget Sound Business Journal ranked the Company 7th for increased net profit, 32nd for fastest growing companies, and 59th for largest public companies in the State of Washington.
In May, the Bank entered into an agreement with Columbia Bank to acquire three retail branches on the North Olympic Peninsula in Sequim, Port Ludlow and Port Townsend subject to regulatory approval from the FDIC and Washington State Department of Financial Institutions.  The acquisition will increase the Bank's existing deposit market share in Sequim and Port Angeles and extend the Bank's footprint into Port Ludlow.  The Bank anticipates acquiring approximately $29 million of deposits and $1 million of loans from the transaction.
The Company also announced today that its Board of Directors declared a cash dividend on Sound Financial Bancorp common stock of $0.05 per share, payable on August 27, 2014 to stockholders of record as the close of business on August 13, 2014.
Highlights for the second quarter of 2014 include:
·
Net interest income increased to $4.6 million, an increase of 1.1% compared to the first quarter of 2014 and 7.0% from the same period last year;
·
Provision for loan losses remained unchanged at $200,000 for both the current quarter and the first quarter of 2014, and decreased 55.6% from $450,000 for the second quarter of 2013;
·
Loans increased 3.3% to $403.9 million, compared to December 31, 2013 and 12.6% from June 30, 2013;
·
Deposits increased 7.3% to $373.9 million, compared to December 31, 2013 and 17.0% from June 30, 2013;
·

·
Annualized net charge-offs decreased to 0.19%, a decrease of 1 basis point compared to the first quarter of 2014 and 29 basis points from the same period last year.
·
Tier 1 leverage ratio of 10.37%; Total risk-based capital of asset ratio of 14.44%
Capital ratios exceeded regulatory requirements for a well-capitalized financial institution on a holding company and bank level at June 30, 2014.
Operating Results
Net interest income increased $52,000 to $4.6 million in the second quarter of 2014, compared to the first quarter of 2014 and increased $302,000 from $4.3 million in the second quarter of 2013.  The increase was primarily a result of higher average loan balances.
The net interest margin was 4.40% for the second quarter of 2014, compared to 4.41% for the first quarter of 2014 and 4.68% in the second quarter of 2013. The decline in the net interest margin was due to lower asset yields due to the continued low interest rate environment.
The provision for loan losses in the second quarter of 2014 was $200,000, which was the same as the first quarter of 2014.  The provision for loan losses was $450,000 for the second quarter of 2013.  The decline from a year ago was primarily due to lower charge-offs and lower balances of nonperforming loans which was partially offset by higher average loan balances and changes in the composition of our loan portfolio.
Noninterest income increased $335,000, or 42.7%, to $1.1 million in the second quarter of 2014, compared to $785,000 in the first quarter of 2014.  Noninterest income decreased $238,000, or 17.5%, from $1.4 million in the second quarter of 2013.  The increase from the first quarter was primarily reflective of higher gains on sale of loans and mortgage servicing income due to higher purchase activity due to seasonality in the home buying market.  The decrease from a year ago was primarily reflective of reduced gain on sale of loans due to lower volumes and average premiums on loans sold.
 

Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2014 was $3.8 million, compared to $3.7 million for the first quarter of 2014 and $3.6 million for the second quarter of 2013.  The increase from the first quarter was primarily a result of increased professional and data processing expenses.   The increase from a year ago was primarily from higher salaries and benefits.
The efficiency ratio for the second quarter of 2014 was 63.60%, compared to 67.29% for the first quarter of 2014 and 59.74% for the second quarter of 2013.  The increase in the efficiency ratio compared to a year ago was primarily due to higher salary and benefits as a result of a modest increase in FTEs and lower noninterest income as a result of lower gain on the sale of loans.  These increases were partially offset by an increase in interest income and decrease in the provision for loan losses over the comparable periods.
Balance Sheet Review, Capital Management and Credit Quality
The Company's total assets as of June 30, 2014 were $468.9 million, compared to $442.6 million at December 31, 2013 and $409.6 million a year ago.  This increase was primarily a result of higher loan and cash balances which increased $13.0 and $13.5 million, respectively, from the end of 2013 and $45.3 and $17.1 million, respectively, from June 30, 2013.
The investment securities available-for-sale portfolio totaled $14.1 million at June 30, 2014, compared to $15.4 million at December 31, 2013 and $17.0 million at June 30, 2013.  At June 30, 2014, the securities available-for-sale portfolio was comprised of $9.5 million agency mortgage-backed securities (all issued by U.S. Government sponsored entities), $2.6 million in private-label mortgage-backed securities and $2.0 million in municipal bonds.
Loans, excluding loans held-for-sale, totaled $403.9 million at June 30, 2014, compared to $390.9 million at December 31, 2013 and $358.7 million a year ago.  At June 30, 2014, commercial real estate loans accounted for 37.9% of the portfolio and residential real estate loans accounted for 30.1% of the portfolio.  Home equity, manufactured and other consumer loans accounted for 14.8% of the portfolio.  Construction and land loans accounted for 11.7% of the portfolio and commercial and industrial loans accounted for the remaining 5.5% of the portfolio.
The weighted average yield on the loan portfolio was 5.17% for the second quarter of 2014, compared to 5.24% for the first quarter of 2014 and 5.66% for the second quarter of 2013.
Nonperforming assets ("NPAs"), which include non-accrual loans, accruing loans 90 days and more delinquent, other real estate owned ("OREO") and other repossessed assets decreased to $2.3 million, or 0.50% of total assets, at June 30, 2014 compared to $3.1 million, or 0.70% of total assets at December 31, 2013.  NPAs were $3.1 million, or 0.75% of total assets, at June 30, 2013.

The increase in the allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2014, compared to the prior quarter and year ago quarter was due to increased average loan balances which were offset by improved credit metrics in our loan portfolio.  Net charge-offs totaled $185,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, compared to net charge-offs of $201,000 for the first quarter of 2014 and $367,000 for the second quarter of 2013.
