GS Financial Corp. (NASDAQ Global Market:GSLA) (the “Company”), the holding company for Guaranty Savings Bank (“Guaranty”), reported earnings for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 of $503,000, or $0.40 per share diluted, compared with a loss of $232,000, or ($0.18) per share diluted, for the same period in 2008. Earnings for the first half of 2009 were $881,000, or $0.69 per share diluted, up from a loss of $106,000, or ($0.08) per share diluted, for the first six months of 2008.
President Stephen E. Wessel commented, “The second quarter earnings increased primarily due to strong growth in loans and transactional deposits. Interest income improved during the quarter to $3.6 million and Guaranty's secondary marketing activities resulted in more than $330,000 in loan sale income. The improvement in earnings from 2008 to 2009 is a result of the execution of our plan to expand our products and services as part of our transition from a traditional thrift institution to a full service community bank. We are especially gratified to achieve these results despite a significant increase in our FDIC insurance premiums due to an industry-wide special assessment which amounted to approximately $127,000 in the second quarter as compared to $57,000 in the first quarter.”
Highlights of the second quarter and first six months of 2009 include:
Net interest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 was $1.9 million, which represents an increase of $308,000, or 18.8%, from $1.6 million for the same period in 2008. Net interest income for the first six months of 2009 was $3.8 million, up 22.1%, from $3.1 million during the same period in 2008. The increase in net interest income was primarily the result of an increase in interest-earning assets and a decrease in the overall cost of deposits. The amount of noninterest-bearing deposits grew by approximately $2.1 million, or 26.0%, from $7.9 million at December 31, 2008 to $10.0 million at June 30, 2009.
Net interest margin was 3.10% for the second quarter of 2009, down 33 basis points from 3.43% for the same period in prior year, and down 25 basis points from 3.35% in the first quarter of 2009. The decrease in net interest margin was primarily due to an increase in the average balance of overnight funds earning a nominal rate of return and non-performing assets. President Wessel noted, “Non-performing assets have increased this year as we now own foreclosed properties that have not sold, and we recently placed a $1.5 million commercial loan into nonaccrual status which negatively impacted the net interest margin. Although non-performing assets increased to $4.9 million, they represent less than 2% of total assets.”
Noninterest income increased by $1.0 million, or 193.9%, from a loss of $525,000 in the second quarter of 2008 to earnings of $493,000 for the same period in 2009. For the first half of 2009, noninterest income was $866,000 as compared to a loss of $410,000 for the first half of 2008. The increase in noninterest income was primarily due to strong sales of residential loans in the secondary market of loans originated during the first half of 2009 and the recognition of a non-cash impairment charge of $651,000 (pre-tax) and $430,000 (after-tax) related to the Company’s investment in mutual funds that hold mortgage-backed securities during the second quarter of 2008.
Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2009 was $1.8 million, up approximately $320,000, or 21.8%, from $1.5 million for the second quarter of 2008. Noninterest expense for the first six months of 2009 was $3.5 million, which represents an increase of $580,000, or 20.1%, from $2.9 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase in noninterest expense is primarily due to additional mortgage originator commissions, FDIC deposit insurance premiums, and legal expenses associated with an agreement we entered into with certain shareholders.
Total Assets at June 30, 2009 were $264.7 million compared to $221.9 million at December 31, 2008, an increase of approximately $42.9 million, or 19.3%. Net loans increased $20.5 million, or 12.9%, from $158.5 million at December 31, 2008 to $179.0 million at June 30, 2009. Deposit accounts increased approximately $49.5 million, or 35.3%, during the first six months of 2009 from $140.1 million at December 31, 2008 to $189.6 million at June 30, 2009. Borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank decreased from $52.0 million at December 31, 2008 to $44.5 million at June 30, 2009. Stockholders’ equity was 10.6% of total assets at June 30, 2009, down from 12.4% at December 31, 2008.
Albert J. Zahn, Jr., Chairman of the Board of Directors of GS Financial Corp. announced that the Board of Directors, at its meeting on July 21, 2009, declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per share. The dividend is payable to shareholders of record as of July 31, 2009 and will be paid on August 14, 2009.
