First Advantage Bancorp Reports Second Quarter 2009 Results

CLARKSVILLE, Tenn., Aug. 11, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- First Advantage Bancorp (the "Company") (Nasdaq:FABK), the holding company for First Federal Savings Bank (the "Bank"), today announced its results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009. The Company's net income for the three months ended June 30, 2009, was $141,000 compared to $549,000 for the same period in 2008. For the six months ended June 30, 2009 net income was $310,000 compared to a net income of $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008.

Basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2009 amounted to $0.03 compared to $0.11 for both basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2008. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2009 amounted to $0.07 compared to $0.24 earnings per basic share and $0.23 earnings per diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2008.

"While the economic environment remains challenging, the Bank has continued to grow steadily and prudently, with loans growing at an annualized rate of 11.5% over the first six months of the year, and deposits growing at 23.1% on an annualized basis. During the second quarter, we also began repurchasing shares of our common stock on the open market, accumulating 65,350 shares through June 30, 2009, out of the 263,234 shares authorized for repurchase by the Board of Directors in December 2008. The Board also recently declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share for shareholders of record as of July 29, 2009," said Earl O. Bradley, III, Chief Executive Officer of the Company. "Our earnings were less this year than last due to some non-recurring income items we realized in 2008, a lower net interest margin, and higher operating expenses in 2009. Earnings for the first six months of 2008 included a gain on the sale of our previous headquarters building and the reversal of a tax reserve totaling $251,000 . During 2009, our net interest margin has been negatively impacted primarily by our investment portfolio where we experienced calls of higher yielding agency securities and increased pre-payments on our mortgage-backed investments. It is important to note that we have been able to maintain our loan yield at virtually the same level as 2008 without compromising our prudent underwriting standards. Operating expenses were negatively impacted by industry-wide FDIC deposit insurance rate increases and the special assessment, as well as higher personnel costs related to implementation of the Company's 2008 Equity Incentive Plan."

Mr. Bradley continued, "While our earnings have been less than we would like, management is focused on disciplined deposit gathering and lending practices and maintaining high asset quality, which will position the Company to capitalize on potential opportunities once the economy begins to improve. Our deposit growth has been organic, with no brokered deposits, and our asset quality remains strong, with net charge-offs, classified assets and non-performing loans all at relatively low levels. The Bank is committed to continuing to lend to qualified borrowers in our marketplace."

Balance Sheet Review - Annualized

Total assets increased $11.9 million to $350.3 million reflecting annualized growth of 7.1% during the six months ended June 30, 2009. Total loans increased $10.2 million to $188.8 million as of June 30, 2009 reflecting annualized growth of 11.5% during the first six months of 2009. Total deposits increased $21.4 million to $208.2 million as of June 30, 2009, resulting in an annualized growth rate of 23.1% during the six months ended June 30, 2009. Total shareholders' equity decreased $507,000 to $69.8 million reflecting an annualized reduction of 1.5% during the six months ended June 30, 2009.

Results of Operations - Three Months Ended June 30, 2009 and 2008

Net interest income decreased $199,000, or 7.2%, to $2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2008, due primarily to reduced investment income caused by lower balances and yields resulting from calls of higher yielding agency investments and increased prepayments in higher yielding mortgage backed investments. The net interest margin was 3.29% for the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to 3.69% for the three months ended June 30, 2008.

Total non-interest income increased $224,000, or 40.5%, to $777,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $553,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008. The increase in non-interest income was due primarily to an increase of $272,000 in net gains on loan sales resulting from secondary mortgage loan originations.

Total non-interest expense increased $458,000, or 18.2% to $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008. The increase in non-interest expense was primarily due to two factors. FDIC insurance costs increased by $167,000 due to higher deposit insurance premiums for 2009 related to an industry-wide increase in assessment rates and a one-time special assessment as of June 30, 2009. Additionally, the Bank incurred expenses of $169,000 for stock awards for employees and directors related to the Company's 2008 Equity Incentive Plan.

Results of Operations - Six Months Ended June 30, 2009 and 2008

Net interest income was flat for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008. The net interest margin was 3.33% for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to a net interest margin of 3.72% for the six months ended June 30, 3008.

Non-interest income was relatively flat for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the corresponding period in 2008. Net gains on mortgage loan sales increased $371,000 during the first half of 2009 compared to the first half of 2008. However, a non-recurring realized gain on the sale of other assets held-for-sale of $283,000 related to the sale of the Bank's former main office during the first quarter of 2008 caused total non-interest income to be virtually flat when compared to the year-to-date total for 2009.

Total non-interest expense increased $711,000, or 14.0%, to $5.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008. The increase in non-interest expense was primarily due to increases in FDIC insurance premiums and costs related to stock awards. FDIC insurance costs increased by $297,000 due to higher deposit insurance premiums for 2009 related to an industry-wide increase in assessment rates and a one-time special assessment as of June 30, 2009. Additionally, the Bank incurred expenses of $338,000 for stock awards for employees and directors related to the Company's 2008 Equity Incentive Plan.

The provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $155,000, an increase of $140,000 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008. Management reduced its tax reserves $39,000 and $251,000, respectively, for the six month periods ending June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008.
