KS Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) (OTCBB: KSBI), parent company
of KS Bank, Inc. (the “Bank”), today announced unaudited third
quarter financial results for the 2009 fiscal year.
The Company reported a net loss of ($114,000), or ($0.09) per
diluted share, before adjusting for the effect of dividends and
accretion of discount on preferred stock for the three months ended
September 30, 2009, compared to earnings of $304,000, or $0.23 per
diluted share, for the same period in 2008. After adjusting for
$28,000 in dividends and accretion of discount on preferred stock,
the net loss available to common stockholders for the current
period was ($142,000), or ($0.11) per diluted share. The decrease
in earnings is primarily attributable to the provision for loan
losses, which increased by $539,000 in the third quarter 2009,
compared to $150,000 for the third quarter 2008. Net interest
income for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was $2.3
million, compared to $2.5 million for the prior year period.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company
reported net income of $168,000, or $0.13 per diluted share, before
adjusting for the effect of dividends and accretion of discount on
preferred stock, compared to $1.1 million, or $0.82 per diluted
share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. After
adjusting for $28,000 in dividends and accretion on preferred
stock, net income available to common stockholders was $140,000, or
$.011 per diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30,
2009.
On August 21, 2009 the Company received $4.0 million Capital
Purchase Plan (CPP) funds in exchange for 4,000 shares
non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock (Series A) and 200 shares
non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock (Series B). Although the
Bank exceeded the regulatory requirements of a “well capitalized”
bank as of June 30, 2009, the CPP investment enhances the Bank’s
capital ratios. Prior to receiving the CPP, the Bank’s Tier 1
leverage ratio was 8.29%, the Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was
11.86% and the total risk-based capital ratio was 13.12% as of June
30, 2009. As of September 30, 2009, the additional capital has
increased the Bank’s respective ratios to 9.45%, 13.29%, and
14.54%.
The Company’s consolidated total assets increased $17.9 million
to $342.7 million as of September 30, 2009, as compared to $324.8
million at December 31, 2008. Net loan balances have decreased
$16.2 million from $244.3 million at December 31, 2008 to $228.1
million at September 30, 2009. Management continues to focus on the
reduction of the Bank’s concentration in residential construction
lending, which is the primary result of the decrease in loan
balances. Total deposits were $257.0 million at September 30, 2009,
compared to $242.4 at December 31, 2008, which reflects a $14.6
million increase. The reduction in loan balances, the increase in
deposit balances and proceeds from the sale of preferred stock
provided funds available for investments. The investment portfolio
increased $28.6 million, from $54.6 million at December 31, 2008,
to $83.2 million at September 30, 2009. Total stockholders’ equity
increased 32.7%, from $17.7 million at December 31, 2008, to $23.5
million at September 30, 2009. The majority of the consolidated
statement of financial condition growth is the result of
implementing a leverage strategy designed to offset the impact of
the 5% preferred stock dividend paid on the investment pursuant to
the Capital Purchase Program.
Nonperforming assets, which includes nonaccrual loans and
foreclosed assets, totaled $17.6 million at September 30, 2009,
versus $8.5 million at December 31, 2008. The nonperforming assets
consist of $6.5 million in foreclosure assets and $11.1 million in
nonaccrual loans. The increase in the foreclosures is the primary
result of two large relationships involving speculative
construction. The nonaccrual loans consist of six large speculative
construction relationships, which are secured by real estate, and
the reserve requirements have been adequately adjusted. As a result
of the increase of the nonperforming assets, year to date the
Company has recorded $1.1 million in provision for loan losses. Net
charge offs year to date are $966,000. The allowance for loan
losses at September 30, 2009 totaled $3.9 million, or 1.67% of
loans. Nonperforming loans and charge-offs are primarily related to
our residential construction and development portfolio, which has
been negatively affected by the slowing housing market. The Company
believes the allowance is adequate to cover any additional
losses.
Commenting on the third quarter 2009 results, Harold Keen,
President and CEO, stated,
“Although, we experienced a loss in the third quarter of 2009,
year to date we are able to report positive net income. KS Bank
continues to be well-capitalized according to regulatory
guidelines. We continue to monitor and reduce our concentration of
constructions loans. Additionally, our staff continues to
proactively monitor delinquencies and work with our customers to
effectively resolve problem credits. Receiving the Capital Purchase
Plan funds has positioned the bank for future loan growth by
increasing our capital position. The leverage of the additional
capital will more than compensate the additional cost.”
The Company also announced today that its Board of Directors
voted not to declare a common stock dividend for the third quarter
of 2009. The continued suspension of our quarterly dividend is a
prudent step in preserving capital during this continuing economic
downturn. The Board of Directors will continue to monitor business
conditions, the Company’s profitability and capital levels, as well
as asset quality in considering whether to resume cash dividend
payments. The Bank continues to be well-capitalized according to
regulatory guidelines, and we continue to be focused on serving the
communities in which we are located.
