First Capital, Inc. Reports Quarterly Earnings Increase


CORYDON, Ind., July 19, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- First Capital, Inc. (Nasdaq:FCAP), the holding company for First Harrison Bank (the "Bank"), today reported net income of $1.0 million or $0.37 per diluted share for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, compared to $941,000 or $0.34 per diluted share for the same period in 2011.

The increase in earnings is primarily due to an increase in noninterest income.

Net interest income after provision for loan losses increased $7,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2011. Interest income decreased $474,000 when comparing the two periods as the average tax-equivalent yield of interest-earning assets decreased from 5.05% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2011 to 4.53% for the same period in 2012. Interest expense decreased $356,000 as the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased from 1.13% to 0.75% when comparing the same two periods. As a result, the interest-rate spread decreased from 3.92% for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 to 3.78% for the same period in 2012. The provision for loan losses decreased from $425,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 to $300,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 primarily due to a decrease in net charge offs from $441,000 during the three-month period ended June 30, 2011 to $96,000 during the same period in 2012.

Noninterest income increased $145,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 as compared to the same period in 2011. Gains on the sale of loans, including residential mortgage and SBA loans, increased $147,000 when comparing the two periods.

Noninterest expenses decreased $11,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2011. Compensation and benefits expense decreased $67,000 when comparing the two periods. This was partially offset by an increase in other operating expenses of $43,000. The decrease in compensation and benefits expense was primarily due to an increase in mortgage loan originations which resulted in an increase in the amount of deferred loan origination costs for the current quarter compared to the prior year's quarter. Deferred loan origination costs for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 totaled $67,000 compared to $25,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2011. The increase in other operating expenses is primarily due to a $52,000 loss on debit cards during the quarter. This is primarily due to one occurrence and the Bank is currently working to recover the lost funds.

For the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company reported net income of $2.0 million or $0.70 per diluted share compared to net income of $1.8 million or $0.66 per diluted share for the same period in 2011.   

Net interest income after provision for loan losses increased $3,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011. Interest income decreased $852,000 when comparing the two periods, due to a decrease in the average tax-equivalent yield on interest-earning assets from 5.08% for 2011 to 4.69% for 2012. Interest expense decreased $705,000 as the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased from 1.17% to 0.79% when comparing the same two periods. The provision for loan losses decreased from $925,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 to $775,000 for the same period in 2012 as net charge offs decreased from $837,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 to $525,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012.

Noninterest income increased $297,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2011. The increase was primarily due to a $280,000 increase in gains on loans sold as a result of gains on the sale of SBA loans of $108,000 and a 76% increase in the gain on sale of residential mortgage loans originated for sale for the 2012 period compared to 2011.

Noninterest expenses increased $70,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 as compared to the same period in 2011, primarily due to an increase in data processing expenses of $76,000. This was primarily due to an increase in the number of customers using alternative delivery channels and an increase in ATM processing fees.

Total assets as of June 30, 2012 were $453.8 million compared to $438.9 million at December 31, 2011. Securities available for sale increased $13.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2012, while cash and cash equivalents increased $4.7 million. Deposits increased $15.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2012. Nonperforming assets (consisting of nonaccrual loans, accruing loans 90 days or more past due, troubled debt restructurings on accrual status, and foreclosed real estate) totaled $8.7 million and $8.9 million at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.
