West Point, Georgia, January 28, 2016 Charter Financial Corporation (the “Company”) (NASDAQ: CHFN) today reported net income of $4.6 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2015, or $0.31 and $0.30 per basic and diluted share, respectively, compared with net income of $1.7 million, or $0.10 per basic and diluted share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2014.
Quarterly Operating Results
Quarterly earnings for the first quarter of fiscal 2016 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2015 were positively impacted by the following items:
Loan interest income, excluding accretion and amortization of loss share receivable, increased $930,000, or 12.7%.
Net interest margin, excluding accretion and amortization of loss share receivable, was 3.51% for the quarter ended December 31, 2015, compared with 3.14% for the same quarter of fiscal 2015.
The cost of deposits decreased to 42 basis points for the quarter ended December 31, 2015, compared to 48 basis points for the quarter ended December 31, 2014.
Total interest expense decreased $117,000, or 8.8%.
Deposit and bankcard fee income increased by a combined $369,000, or 14.6%.
$2.9 million of recoveries on previously charged-off loss share loans.
The above increases to net income were partially offset by the following items:
Salaries and employee benefits increased $249,000.
Legal and professional fees increased $139,000.
Income tax expense increased $1.6 million.
Chairman and CEO Robert L. Johnson said, “We are pleased with the continued growth in our core earnings for the quarter ended December 31, 2015. Even with the exclusion of the significant recoveries on previously charged-off loans, we still experienced

Exhibit 99.1

approximately a 75% increase in net income per share over the prior year period. Also, our net interest margin, excluding purchase accounting, was 3.51% for the quarter ending December 31, 2015, which was significantly improved from 3.14% for the quarter ending December 31, 2014.”
Financial Condition
The Company's total assets remained relatively unchanged at $1.0 billion at December 31, 2015, compared with September 30, 2015. Net loans decreased $34.9 million, or 4.9%, to $679.9 million at December 31, 2015, from $714.8 million at September 30, 2015.
Mr. Johnson continued, “We experienced a $52.0 million, or 8.14%, increase in our loan portfolio since December 31, 2014. However, during the first quarter of fiscal 2016, we experienced a decline due to prepayments on a small number of large loan relationships. The prepayments were primarily due to the collateral in these loan relationships being sold, including a local home builder who was acquired by a national brand. We anticipate that this downward trend will reverse later in the year as we expect to see portfolio growth through our pending acquisition, organic growth and possible future acquisitions.”
Total deposits were $744.2 million at December 31, 2015, compared with $738.9 million at September 30, 2015. This increase was due in part to increases of $4.2 million and $4.8 million in transaction and money market accounts, respectively, during the quarter ended December 31, 2015.
Total stockholders' equity decreased to $198.4 million at December 31, 2015, compared to $204.9 million at September 30, 2015, due primarily to $10.3 million of share repurchases during the first quarter of fiscal 2016. Despite the decrease in stockholders' equity, tangible book value per share grew to $12.73 at December 31, 2015, an increase of $0.25, compared to $12.48 at September 30, 2015, due to the stock repurchases and associated reduced weighted average share count for the first quarter of fiscal 2016.
Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
Net interest income increased to $9.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2015, compared with $7.6 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2014. Interest income increased $1.5 million due to a $930,000 increase in loan interest income, excluding accretion and amortization of loss share receivable, combined with a $497,000 increase in net purchase discount accretion and amortization of loss share receivable. This improvement in net interest income was further aided by a $117,000, or 8.8%, decrease in total interest expense quarter over quarter. The Company's net interest margin, excluding the effects of purchase accounting, was 3.51% for the quarter ended December 31, 2015, compared with 3.14% for the quarter ended December 31, 2014.
Under purchase accounting rules, the Company currently expects to realize remaining loan discount accretion of $2.3 million over the next two years.
Provision for Loan Losses
The Company recorded no provision for loan losses in the quarter ended December 31, 2015, due to the continued improvement in the credit quality of the loan portfolio. For the quarter ended December 31, 2014, the provision of $4,000 related to covered loans.
Noninterest Income and Expense
Noninterest income for the quarter ended December 31, 2015 increased $3.3 million to $6.8 million, compared with $3.6 million for the prior year period. The increase was due to a $369,000 increase in bankcard fee and other deposit fee income along with $2.9 million in nonrecurring recoveries on loans that were previously covered by loss share agreements with the FDIC.
Noninterest expense for the quarter ended December 31, 2015 increased $342,000 to $9.1 million, compared with the same period in fiscal 2015. This increase was primarily attributable to increases in salaries and employee benefits and legal and professional fees.
Asset Quality
Asset quality remained strong with nonperforming assets at 0.56% of total assets and the allowance for loan losses at 1.40% of total loans and 391.42% of nonperforming loans at December 31, 2015. The Company had net loan recoveries of $207,000 in its allowance for loan losses for the quarter ended December 31, 2015, compared with net loan charge-offs of $44,000 for the same period in fiscal 2015.

Capital Management
During the quarter ended December 31, 2015, the Company repurchased 798,590 shares for approximately $10.3 million, or $12.91 per share. Beginning with the first quarter of fiscal 2014 through the first quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company repurchased a combined 7.9 million shares, or 34.7%, of the Company's common stock at a discount to tangible book value of $11.4 million.
Mr. Johnson concluded, “We are pleased with our expansion in the North Atlanta market and the anticipated growth in earnings from this expansion with the pending acquisition of CBS Financial and the addition of Marvin Cosgray and his group to service the demographically desirable Buckhead market. We continue to seek to enhance shareholder value through the leveraging of our expense structure and improving noninterest income.”

Included in the loan balances are loans that were previously covered under loss share agreements with the FDIC in the amount of $46.8 million, $50.0 million, and $68.0 million at June 30, 2015, March 31, 2015, and December 31, 2014, respectively.
(2)
Prior to the termination of the FDIC loss share agreements in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, only the Company’s loss share percentage of the provision for covered loan losses was recognized in the Statement of Income as a provision expense (benefit). The remainder was recorded as an increase (decrease) to the FDIC receivable for loss sharing agreements in the Statement of Financial Condition.
(3)
Loans that were previously covered under loss share agreements with the FDIC, and have associated accretion income established at the time of acquisition remaining to recognize, that were greater than 90 days delinquent or otherwise considered nonperforming loans are excluded from this table.
(4)
Included in the balances is OREO that was previously covered under loss share agreements with the FDIC in the amount of $2.4 million, $3.3 million, and $4.6 million at June 30, 2015, March 31, 2015, and December 31, 2014, respectively.

Net interest income excluding accretion and amortization of loss share loans receivable divided by average net interest earning assets excluding average loan accretable discounts in the amount of $3.1 million, $3.8 million, $3.9 million, $5.1 million, and $5.5 million for the quarters ended December 31, 2015, September 30, 2015, June 30, 2015, March 31, 2015, and December 31, 2014, respectively.
(2)
During the quarter ended March 31, 2015, an upstream of capital was made between the bank and the holding company in the amount of $17.5 million to be used primarily for the repurchase of the Company's outstanding shares.
(3)
Due to the early termination of the FDIC loss share agreements in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, ratios for the three months ended December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015, include all previously covered assets with the exception of FAS ASC 310-30 loans that are excluded from nonperforming loans due to the ongoing recognition of accretion income established at the time of acquisition. Ratios for periods prior to September 30, 2015, represent non-covered data only.
