EXHIBIT 99.1
WOOSTER, Ohio, April 24, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Wayne Savings Bancshares, Inc. (Nasdaq:WAYN), the holding company parent of Wayne Savings Community Bank, reported net income of $440,000 or $0.16 per diluted share for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, compared to $670,000 or $0.24 per diluted share for the quarter ended March 31, 2014. The decrease in net income was primarily due to a decrease in net interest income and an increase in both the provision for loan losses and noninterest expense, partially offset by an increase in noninterest income and a decrease in the provision for federal income taxes. The return on average equity and return on average assets for the 2015 quarter were 4.36% and 0.42%, respectively, compared to 6.89% and 0.65%, respectively, for the 2014 quarter.
Net interest income decreased $107,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2014. Interest income decreased $163,000 during the 2015 quarter mainly due to a decrease in the rates earned on those assets from 3.85% in the prior year quarter to 3.62% in the current year quarter, partially offset by a $6.4 million increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets. Interest expense decreased $56,000 primarily due to the continuation of the overall low market interest rate environment that decreased the average rates paid from 0.59% in the prior year quarter to 0.52% in the current year quarter, partially offset by a $5.6 million increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities. The continued overall low level of market interest rates continues to result in new loan originations at lower yields than the existing portfolio and the downward repricing of existing adjustable rate loans that continue to negatively affect the net interest margin. The net interest rate spread decreased from 3.26% for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 to 3.10% for the quarter ended March 31, 2015.
Provision for loan losses was $233,000 in the 2015 quarter, an increase of $225,000 from $8,000 provided during the 2014 quarter. The increase is primarily due to increased charge-offs, as described more fully below, and increased loan balances compared to the prior year quarter.
Noninterest income increased $66,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2014. The increase was primarily due to a $22,000 increase in gain on sale of residential mortgage loans, and a $43,000 increase in service fees, charges and other operating income. The increase in gain on sale of residential mortgage loans was primarily due to increased loan sales in the 2015 quarter compared to the 2014 quarter. The increase in service fees, charges and other operating income was primarily due to an increase in fees from service charges on deposit accounts.
Noninterest expense increased $58,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2014. This increase includes an $82,000 increase in salaries and employee benefits and a $15,000 increase in loss on sale of foreclosed assets held for sale, partially offset by a $24,000 decrease in occupancy and equipment expense, and a $23,000 decrease in amortization of intangible assets. The increase in salaries and employee benefits was primarily due to increased compensation as a result of merit increases and the addition of new positions, higher post-retirement benefit costs and education and training, partially offset by lower health care costs compared to the prior year quarter. The increase in the loss on foreclosed assets held for sale was due to a loss on the sale of a foreclosed property held for sale in the current year quarter, while there were no related sales in the prior year quarter. The decrease in occupancy and equipment expense was due to lower furniture, fixture and equipment expense and lower computer data expense compared to the prior year quarter. The decrease in amortization of intangible assets was due to a core deposit intangible becoming amortized to zero in May of 2014 resulting in a full quarter of scheduled amortization in the prior year quarter, compared to no amortization in the current year quarter.
At March 31, 2015, the Company had total assets of $418.7 million, an increase of $1.0 million, from total assets at December 31, 2014. The increase in total assets includes a $1.3 million increase in cash and cash equivalents and a $2.6 million increase in net loans, partially offset by a $3.3 million decrease in securities balances compared to December 31, 2014.
Total securities decreased $3.3 million to $112.6 million at March 31, 2015, compared to $115.9 million at December 31, 2014. The decrease in securities is primarily due to investing the principal and interest cash flows received from securities into higher yielding loans. Net loans totaled $268.2 million at March 31, 2015, an increase of $2.6 million, compared to $265.6 million at December 31, 2014, primarily due to new originations in excess of principal reductions and scheduled maturities.
The allowance for loan losses totaled $2.3 million, or 0.87% of gross loans, at March 31, 2015, compared to $2.8 million, or 1.03% of gross loans, at December 31, 2014. The decrease in the allowance was due to charge-offs totaling $654,000 related to nonperforming loans during the current year quarter. Nonperforming assets, which consist of loans on non-accrual status and real estate owned, totaled $2.7 million at March 31, 2015, or 0.99% of total loans, a decrease of $699,000 from the December 31, 2014, balance of $3.4 million, or 1.25% of total loans. This decrease in non-accrual loans was due to the charge-offs as previously mentioned.
Deposits totaled $349.9 million at March 31, 2015, an increase of $961,000 from $348.9 million at December 31, 2014. This increase includes a $1.9 million increase in savings and money market balances and a $16,000 increase in time deposits, partially offset by a $974,000 decrease in demand deposits. The increase in savings and money market balances is due to our customers' preference to maintain liquid deposits, rather than invest in low yielding fixed rate term certificates, in order to take advantage of future rate increases. The Company continues to monitor deposit activity closely to respond to changes in customer preference for types of deposits.
Other short-term borrowings, which consist solely of repurchase agreements with commercial customers of the Bank, increased by $76,000 and totaled $7.1 million at March 31, 2015. These repurchase agreements are offered by the Bank in order to retain commercial customer funds and to provide these commercial customers the opportunity to earn a return on a short-term secured transaction.
Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) totaled $16.5 million at March 31, 2015, and increased by $21,000 compared to December 31, 2014. This increase includes $21,000 related to amortized prepayment penalties. The Bank uses FHLB advances to extend the duration of its liabilities to manage the interest rate risk associated with the longer duration of loans as compared to securities at a lower cost than other funding alternatives, particularly retail term deposits.
Stockholders' equity increased by $363,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2015, primarily due to net income of $440,000 and a $148,000 increase in unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities, partially offset by dividends of $249,000.
