EX-99 3 wesf6-99.txt EXHIBIT 99.1 Exhibit 99.1 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE For further information contact: Donald A. Williams, President & CEO Michael J. Janosco Jr., CFO 413-568-1911 Westfield Financial, Inc. Reports Earnings Results for the Quarter Ended September 30, 2003 Westfield, Massachusetts, October 29, 2003: (AMEX:WFD) Westfield Financial, Inc. (the "Company"), the holding company for Westfield Bank (the "Bank"), reported net income of $1.1 million or $0.10 per diluted share for the quarter ended September 30, 2003, compared to net income of $1.3 million or $0.12 per diluted share for the same period in 2002. Net interest and dividend income for the three months ended September 30, 2003 was $5.1 million compared with $6.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2002. For the quarter ended September 30, 2003, net interest and dividend income was negatively affected by the Company's decision to purchase Bank Owned Life Insurance (BOLI) in January 2003, the income from which is included in noninterest income. In addition, the Company's transition to its current residential real estate loan program with a third party mortgage company and high levels of refinancing activity resulted in lower interest and dividend income. Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2003 decreased $1.3 million to $3.3 million from $4.6 million for the same period in 2002. Net interest margin for the quarters ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 was 2.64% and 3.11%, respectively. The provision for loan losses for the three months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 was $150,000 and $234,000, respectively. Net gains from sales of securities for the three months ended September 30, 2003 were $70,000 as compared to net losses from sales and writedowns of securities of $139,000 for the quarter ended 2002. Included in the net losses from sales and writedowns of securities for the 2002 quarter was a $414,000 writedown of certain equity securities whose impairment was determined to be other than temporary. Other noninterest income for the three months ended September 30, 2003 was $710,000 as compared to $417,000 for the same period in 2002. The increase was the result of income on Bank Owned Life Insurance of $214,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 as compared to $0 for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 and fees received of $111,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 from the Bank's current residential real estate loan program with a third party mortgage company as compared to $28,000 for the same period in 2002. 1 Noninterest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2003 was $4.3 million compared with $4.2 million for the same period in 2002. This change was the result of an increase in salaries and benefits expense of $214,000 which was primarily the result of an increase in salaries expense of $43,000 as a result of normal salary increases and an increase in stock based benefit plan expense of $139,000. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in advertising expense of $44,000 and a decrease in charitable contribution expense of $42,000. Total assets increased $3.2 million to $816.2 million at September 30, 2003 from $813.0 million at December 31, 2002. As discussed above, Bank Owned Life Insurance amounted to $16.2 million on September 30, 2003. Securities decreased $6.3 million, or 1.7%, to $369.3 million at September 30, 2003 from $375.6 million at December 31, 2002. Federal funds sold decreased from $37.2 million at December 31, 2002 to $7.6 million at September 30, 2003. Net loans during this period decreased by $11.5 million, or 3.2%, to $345.7 million at September 30, 2003, from $357.2 million at December 31, 2002. Residential real estate loans decreased $41.2 million to $116.6 million at September 30, 2003. This decrease is primarily the result of our current residential real estate loan program with a third party mortgage company. Indirect auto loans decreased $14.2 million to $19.6 million at September 30, 2003 from $33.8 million at December 31, 2002. Commercial real estate loans increased $27.8 million to $128.7 million at September 30, 2003 from $100.9 million at December 31, 2002. Commercial non real estate loans increased $16.8 million to $78.3 million at September 30, 2003 from $61.5 million at December 31, 2002. Total deposits were $653.2 million at September 30, 2003 and $656.1 million at December 31, 2002. Customer repurchase agreements increased $5.4 million to $14.1 million at September 30, 2003 from $8.7 million at December 31, 2002. Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings totaled $20.0 million at September 30, 2003 and $15.0 million at December 31, 2002. Stockholders' equity at September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002 was $124.2 million and $126.7 million, respectively, which represented 15.2% and 15.6% of total assets. The change is primarily comprised of net income of $2.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, a decrease in net unrealized gains on securities available for sale of $620,000, net of income taxes, the recording of the purchase of 128,700 shares of common stock for the Company's stock benefit plans for $2.0 million, the purchase of 59,700 shares of treasury stock for $1.1 million and the declaration by the Board of Directors of a $0.05 per share cash dividend on January 28, 2003, April 22, 2003, and July 22, 2003 amounting to $1.6 million. Mr. Donald A. Williams, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company stated, "The Board of Directors declared a $0.05 cash dividend on October 28, 2003 to all shareholders of record on November 7, 2003 payable on November 21, 2003". 2 The Bank is headquartered in Westfield, Massachusetts and operates through 10 banking offices in Agawam, East Longmeadow, Holyoke, Southwick, Springfield, West Springfield and Westfield, Massachusetts.
