Pulaski Financial Corp. (Nasdaq Global Select: PULB) today reported net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 of $3.0 million, or $0.23 per diluted common share, compared with net income of $2.2 million, or $0.15 per diluted common share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 and net income of $3.1 million, or $0.24 per diluted common share, for the December 2010 quarter. Reducing income available to common shares were dividends and the related discount accretion on the Company's preferred stock totaling $0.05 per diluted common share in each of the three quarters.
Gary Douglass, President and Chief Executive Officer commented, "We are very pleased with the continued improvements realized in the December 2011 quarter in terms of both operating results and asset quality. The 52% increase in our linked-quarter earnings per share marked the third consecutive quarter of meaningful earnings growth. In an environment where top-line revenue growth was challenging, we were able to deliver meaningful growth in interest income, net interest income and the net interest margin while, at the same time, significantly reducing our overall level of non-interest expense. Equally important, we continued to make good progress on our number one priority, which is asset quality improvement. Not only did we reduce the level of non-performing assets for the fourth consecutive quarter, we also saw improvement in several potential future predictors of asset quality. The levels of internal adversely classified assets and early stage loan delinquencies, which we define as loans that are 31 to 89 days past due, both showed meaningful declines from September 30, 2011."
Net Interest Income Up from the Linked Quarter on Growth in Loans Held for Sale and Lower Deposit Costs
Net interest income increased to $12.1 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 compared with $11.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2011, but decreased from $13.4 million for the same period a year ago. The increase from the linked quarter was primarily the result of growth in the average balance of mortgage loans held for sale to $138.7 million compared with $61.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 and, to a lesser extent, a lower cost of deposits. The decrease from the same period a year ago was primarily due to a decline in the average balance of mortgage loans held for sale from a near record high of $305.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2010, partially offset by a lower cost of deposits.
The net interest margin reached a record high of 3.97% for the three months ended December 31, 2011 compared with 3.67% for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 and 3.78% for the quarter ended December 31, 2010. The linked-quarter increase was the result of growth in mortgage loans held for sale that was funded by the reduction of lower-yielding assets held in Fed funds, combined with a decrease in the cost of deposits. The increase in the net interest margin from the December 2010 quarter was primarily the result of a decrease in the cost of deposits.
Mortgage Revenues Remained Consistent with the Linked Quarter on Continued Strong Loan Volume
Non-interest income decreased to $3.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 compared with $3.6 million for each of the quarters ended September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. The linked-quarter decrease was primarily due to lower retail banking fees related to fees charged on insufficient checks while the decrease from the prior-year quarter was due to lower mortgage revenues. Mortgage revenues were $1.7 million on loan sales of $329 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 compared with $1.7 million on loan sales of $283 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 and $1.8 million on loan sales of $612 million in the December 2010 quarter.
Mortgage loans originated for sale totaled $371 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 compared with $354 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 and $598 million for the December 2010 quarter. As a result of the low level of market interest rates during the quarter, the Company saw an increase in demand for mortgage refinancings compared with the linked quarter, but this level of demand was down significantly from the near historically high levels experienced in the December 2010 quarter. Mortgage refinancings totaled $242 million, or 65% of total loans originated for sale, for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 compared with $177 million, or 50% of total loans originated for sale for the quarter ended September 30, 2011, and $434 million, or 73% of total loans originated for sale, for the December 2010 quarter.
The net profit margin on loans sold was 0.51% for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 compared with 0.59% for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 and 0.30% for the December 2010 quarter. The linked-quarter decrease was primarily the result of a market-driven decrease in selling prices realized from the Company's mortgage loan investors. The net profit margin for the same quarter last year was abnormally low and was due to the backlog of loans held in the Company's mortgage warehouse that was created by the near record high level of loan origination volumes resulting in lower realized selling prices. Mortgage loans held for sale increased $54.2 million, or 54%, to $154.9 million at December 31, 2011 compared with $100.7 million at September 30, 2011.
Douglass noted, "Once again, we were able to capitalize on the increased market demand for mortgage loan refinancings during the quarter that was driven by the historically low level of interest rates. As a result, we realized a linked-quarter increase in mortgage loan originations and sales. However, we experienced a linked-quarter decrease in our net profit margins due to market-driven decreases in the selling prices realized from our investors. Fortunately, a portion of the impact of these decreased selling prices was offset by the significant reduction to our operating cost structure that we implemented in the prior quarter. The strong demand also resulted in growth in our mortgage loans held for sale to $155 million at December 31, 2011, which will give us significant momentum going into our second fiscal quarter of 2012 by generating net interest income while they are held in the warehouse and mortgage revenues when they are delivered to our investors."
Non-interest Expense Down from the Linked Quarter on Lower Operating Costs
Total non-interest expense was $8.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 compared with $8.9 million for the linked quarter and $8.3 million for the prior-year quarter. The linked-quarter decrease was primarily due to lower occupancy and advertising costs as management continued ongoing efforts to control such costs. The decrease from the same quarter last year was primarily due to lower expense associated with foreclosed properties.
Real estate foreclosure expense and losses totaled $745,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 compared with $796,000 for the linked quarter and $1.1 million for the prior-year quarter. Such expenses were primarily due to write-downs of properties and losses on sales that resulted from declines in their fair values subsequent to foreclosure.
Compensation expense totaled $3.7 million in the December 2011 quarter compared with $3.8 million for the linked quarter and $3.4 million for the prior-year quarter. The increase from the December 2010 quarter was related primarily to the decrease in loan origination activity compared with the prior-year quarter, which resulted in a lower level of absorption of direct, fixed compensation costs and higher compensation expense in the December 2011 quarter.
Asset Quality Continued to Stabilize
Non-performing assets decreased to $69.9 million at December 31, 2011 from $72.1 million at September 30, 2011. The decrease was primarily attributable to a $2.9 million decrease in real estate acquired in settlement of loans resulting from the sale or write down of several properties during the quarter. In addition, two other important potential future predictors of asset quality experienced improvement during the quarter. The level of internal adversely classified assets decreased approximately 9% from September 30, 2011 to December 31, 2011 and total loans that were 31 to 89 days past due decreased approximately 34% during the same period.
The provision for loan losses for the three months ended December 31, 2011 was $3.0 million compared with $3.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 and $4.3 million for the December 2010 quarter. Net charge-offs for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 totaled $2.9 million, or 1.12% of average loans on an annualized basis, compared with $3.0 million, or 1.15% of average loans on an annualized basis, for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 and $4.0 million, or 1.51% of average loans on an annualized basis, for the December 2010 quarter.
Conclusion / Outlook
Douglass stated, "While we expect to achieve solid earnings performance again in our second fiscal quarter, the level of earnings is not likely to reach the level we saw in the December 2011 quarter. This expectation is principally based on the anticipated impact that the usual seasonal decline in market demand for mortgage loan originations, which we generally see in our second fiscal quarter, will have on mortgage revenues and interest income on mortgage loans held for sale. For the full fiscal year of 2012, we continue to expect meaningful year-over-year earnings improvement compared with fiscal 2011."
Douglass continued, "Our priorities and focus for the balance of fiscal 2012 are continued asset quality improvement and revenue expansion from growth in commercial and industrial and owner-occupied commercial real estate lending and additional residential mortgage loan production gained by capturing additional market share. Finally, we will remain ever vigilant with respect to controlling both funding costs and operating expenses."
