PSB Bancorp, Inc. First Quarter Earnings Results
PHILADELPHIA, May 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- PSB Bancorp, Inc. , the holding
company for First Penn Bank, today announced first quarter 2004 earnings of
$608,000, a 30.0% increase over first quarter 2003 earnings of $469,000.
For the quarter ending March 31, 2004, basic and diluted earnings per share
were $0.14 or 27.0% higher than the $0.11 earned during the first quarter of
2003.
Net interest income in the first quarter of 2004 increased $293,000 or 7.0%
over the same period in 2003. This increase was the result of an increase in
the net interest margin, which occurred due to an increase in earning assets,
loan growth and a reduction in the bank's cost of funds. The net interest
margin for the first quarter of 2004 was 3.80%, an increase of 64 basis points
from the first quarter of 2003 net interest margin of 3.16%.

three-month period ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, are outlined

(1) Annualized
(2) The computation of diluted earnings per share excludes
1,371,200 options for the respective three-month periods ended
March 31, 2004 and 2003. PSB is contesting the validity of
these options associated with the First Bank of Philadelphia
merger in 1999. As previously reported on March 31, 2004 the
U.S. District Court granted the plaintiffs' motion for summary
judgment validating 895,240 shares of these options. PSB
Bancorp has filed an appeal of this decision. Until the appeal
process is concluded, management believes the options should be
excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share.
"We are pleased to report increased earnings for the first quarter of 2004.
Our performance reflects the Company's focus on balance sheet and interest rate
risk management, maintaining strong credit quality and providing quality
products and services to our customers. We continue to reduce our cost of
funds, control overhead expense and seek new sources of non-interest income,"
said Anthony DiSandro, President and CEO.
