Feeley Senior Vice President, Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer EX-99 2 central8kearningsaug-05ex99.txt NEWS RELEASE Contact: Paul S. Feeley For Release: Immediately SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT, TREASURER & CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER (617) 628-4000 CENTRAL BANCORP REPORTS IMPROVED QUARTERLY EARNINGS SOMERVILLE, MASSACHUSETTS, August 3, 2005 - Central Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ:CEBK) today reported that its net income improved more than 55% to $706,000, or $.49 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, from $454,000, or $.29 per diluted share, for the corresponding quarter in the prior fiscal year. A $452,000 increase in net interest and dividend income was the principal reason for the earnings improvement. This increase is reflective of the $37.8 million increase in average loans over the prior year comparable period along with a 13 basis point increase in net interest margin for the same period. Part of the reason for the margin improvement was the shift in the mix of interest-earning assets from short-term investments that carry a lower interest yield to loans and investment securities which typically have higher yields. Central Bancorp's Chairman, President & Chief Executive Officer, John D. Doherty, commented, "We are very pleased with the positive results we reported for the first quarter of our current fiscal year, especially in view of the competitive banking environment and the uncertain economic climate. At June 30, 2005, our assets of nearly $532 million, our loans of over $402 million and our deposits of more than $339 million were all at record levels; and our stockholders' equity improved to over $39 million at June 30, 2005. Book value per share increased to $24.67 from $24.07 during the quarter. Asset quality continues to be outstanding with only one non-performing loan with a balance of $120 thousand. "As we recently announced, the Board of Directors increased the quarterly dividend by 50%, to $.18 per share, for payment on August 19 to holders of record as of August 5. Based on the closing price on the date of the announcement, the dividend yield was 2.72%." (CONTINUED) CENTRAL BANCORP, INC.
