Bradley Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer North Central Bancshares, Inc. 825 Central Avenue Fort Dodge, Iowa 50501 515-576-7531 NORTH CENTRAL BANCSHARES, INC. ANNOUNCES EARNINGS FOR QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2004 Fort Dodge, Iowa -- North Central Bancshares, Inc. (the "Company") (Nasdaq: FFFD), the holding company for First Federal Savings Bank of Iowa (the "Bank"), announced today that the Company earned $0.73 diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2004, compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.88 for the quarter ended March 31, 2003. In dollars, the Company's net income was $1,217,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2004, as compared to $1,502,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2003. Net income decreased primarily due to an increase in operating expenses. (See below) Total assets at March 31, 2004 were $441.5 million as compared to $424.0 million at December 31, 2003. The increase in assets consisted primarily of an increase in loans. Loans increased by $18.5 million, or 5.1%, to $381.5 million at March 31, 2004 from $363.0 million at December 31, 2003. At March 31, 2004, net loans consisted of $171.0 million of one-to-four family loans, $76.7 million of multifamily real estate loans, $81.0 million of commercial real estate loans and $52.7 million of consumer loans. The increase in net loans consisted of an increase of $7.2 million in multifamily real estate loans and a $12.1 million increase in commercial real estate loans, offset in part by a $0.5 million decrease in one-to-four family loans and a $0.3 million decrease in consumer loans. The increase in loans was due primarily to the origination of one-to-four family loans and multifamily loans, the purchase of multifamily and commercial real estate loans and the origination of second mortgage loans. These originations and purchases were offset in part by payments, loan prepayments and sales of loans. Deposits increased $10.2 million, or 3.6%, to $294.1 million at March 31, 2004 from $284.0 million at December 31, 2003. The increase in deposits is due in part to the newly opened office in Clive, Iowa and the office in Ankeny, Iowa. Other borrowed funds increased $8.0 million, or 8.4%, to $103.0 million at March 31, 2004 from $95.0 million at December 31, 2003. The increase in the deposits and borrowed funds were used fund loans. Nonperforming assets were 0.37% of total assets as of March 31, 2004 compared to 0.49% of total assets as of December 31, 2003. The allowance for loan losses was $3.2 million, or 0.83% of total loans, at March 31, 2004, compared to $3.2 million, or 0.86% of total loans, at December 31, 2003. -MORE- The net interest spread of 2.97% for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 represented a decrease from the net interest spread of 3.11% for the quarter ended March 31, 2003. The net interest margin of 3.18% for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 represented a decrease from the net interest margin of 3.40% for the quarter ended March 31, 2003. Net interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 was $3,283,000, compared to net interest income of $3,347,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2003. The Company's provision for loan losses was $60,000 for each of the quarters ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The Company establishes provisions for loan losses, which are charged to operations, in order to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level which is deemed to be appropriate based upon an assessment of prior conditions, the volume and type of loans in the Bank's portfolio, and other factors related to the collectibility of the Bank's loan portfolio. These factors include prior loss experience, industry standards, past due loans, economic conditions, the volume and type of loans in the Bank's portfolio, which includes a significant amount of multi-family and commercial real estate loans, substantially all of which are purchased and are collateralized by properties located outside of the Bank's market area, and other factors related to the collectibility of the Bank's loan portfolio. Stockholders' equity was $41.2 million at March 31, 2004, compared to $41.6 million at December 31, 2003. Stockholders' equity decreased by $391,000 primarily due to stock repurchases and declared dividends, offset in part by earnings and the exercise of stock options. Book value, or stockholders' equity per share, at March 31, 2004 was $26.06 compared to $25.92 at December 31, 2003. The ratio of stockholders' equity to total assets was 9.3% at March 31, 2004, as compared to 9.8% at December 31, 2003. All stockholders of record on March 16, 2004, received a quarterly cash dividend of $0.25 per share on April 7, 2004. The Company has 1,580,780 shares of common stock currently outstanding. During the quarter ended March 31, 2004, the Company repurchased a total of 61,705 shares or approximately 3.8% of its outstanding shares of common stock at prevailing market prices averaging $36.71 per share. Since its formation in 1996, the Company has invested a total of $49.1 million in the repurchase of 2,653,272 shares of its outstanding stock. The Company's noninterest income was $1,432,000 and $1,393,000 for the quarters ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The increase in noninterest income was due in part to increases in fees associated with checking accounts, including overdraft fees, increases in revenues from the sale of annuities and mutual funds, an increase in rent income due to the opening of a second multifamily apartment building in March, 2003, increases in loan prepayment fees and increases from the sale of insurance, offset in part by decreases in mortgage banking income and abstract fees. The Company's noninterest expense was $2.9 million and $2.6 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The increase in noninterest expense was due in part to expenses in connection with the Bank's new branch offices in Ankeny and Clive, Iowa, increases in employee benefits costs, an increase in apartment operating costs, increases in marketing costs and a general increase in other noninterest expenses. The Company's provision for income taxes was $576,000 and $620,000 for the quarters ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The decrease in the provision for income taxes was due to the decrease in the income before income taxes and an increase in recurring low income federal tax credit, offset in part by a one time low-income housing Iowa income tax credit with an effect on net income of approximately $100,000 that was recorded in 2003. In March, 2004, the Bank relocated its Clive office from its temporary location to its newly constructed office building located at 13150 Hickman Road, Clive, Iowa. In February, 2003, the Bank relocated its Ankeny office from its temporary location to its newly constructed office building located at 2110 SE Delaware, Ankeny, Iowa.
