FPB Financial Corp. Announces 2012 First Quarter Financial Results and Declares Dividends


HAMMOND, LA--(Marketwire - Apr 24, 2012) - FPB Financial Corp. (OTCQB: FPBF) (PINKSHEETS: FPBF), the holding company for Florida Parishes Bank, announced financial results for the 2012 first quarter ended March 31, 2012.

Earnings

Net income for the first quarter of 2012 totaled $459,000 a decrease of 3.8% from $477,000 in the first quarter of 2011. Net income per fully diluted common share was $1.30 in the 2012 first quarter, no change from the $1.30 per fully diluted common share earned in the first quarter of 2011. Return on common stockholders' equity (ROE) was 11.2% for the period.

First quarter earnings were positively affected by an increase of $299,000 in net interest income when compared to the first quarter of 2011 and by a $31,000 decrease in income tax expense. These items were offset by a $209,000 increase in non-interest expense, primarily from increased expense for compensation and employee benefits and by a $155,000 or 140.9% increase in provision for loan losses. The provision expense for the quarter increased due to increases in total non-performing assets and due to increases in net loan charge-offs.

Asset Quality

Total non-performing assets at March 31, 2012 increased $1.1 million, or 40.1% to $3.9 million when compared to March 31, 2011. Total non-performing assets on December 31, 2011 were $3.0 million. The Company's allowance for loan losses was unchanged at $3.0 million when compared to December 31, 2011 and up $318,000 or 11.7% as compared to March 31, 2011.

Net loan charge-offs for the first quarter totaled $262,000, up $239,000 in the 2011 first quarter. In the 2011 fourth quarter the company recorded a $94,000 net recovery.

Performing Troubled Debt Restructured (TDR's) as of March 31 totaled $3.2 million, or an increase of $55,000 from March 31, 2011. Performing TDR's decreased by $231,000 when compared to December 31, 2011.

Balance Sheet and Capital

Total assets at March 31, 2012 increased to $188.1 million, or 4.8% as compared to $179.5 million on March 31, 2011. Total assets on December 31, 2011 were $174.6 million. The increase in total assets was primarily attributed to an increase of $13.5 million in cash and cash equivalents including earning and non-earning deposits to $22.5 million at March 31, 2012. The increase in cash and deposits was offset by a $7.6 million decrease in trading securities to $215,000. Total liabilities increased 4.5% to $171.5 million primarily due to an increase of $16.5 million in total deposits to $149.5 million from $133.0 million at March 31, 2011 which was offset by a 34.0% decrease in Federal Home Loan Bank advances to $18.0 million at March 31, 2012. Non-interest bearing deposits and total non-maturity deposits both increased in the twelve month period ending March 31, 2012.

Common Stockholders' equity increased by a net of $1.2 million, or 7.7% to $16.6 million for the twelve month period ending March 31, 2012, primarily due to an increase of $1.5 million in retained earnings. Common stockholders' equity rate of increase was reduced by an increase of $556,000 in treasury stock. The increase in treasury stock was due to the Company completing the termination of its Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) and distributing the ESOP account balances to the ESOP participants during the second quarter of 2011. Tangible common stockholders' equity totaled $16.3 million at March 31, 2012.

Our subsidiary, Florida Parishes Bank, is considered "well capitalized" by all applicable federal banking regulations and definitions as of March 31, 2012.
