Sound Financial Announces Second Quarter 2009 Results

SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--August 5, 2009--Sound Financial Inc. (OTCBB:SNFL), holding company for Sound Community Bank, today announced financial results for the second quarter and first half of 2009. For the quarter ending June 30, the company reported a net loss of $302,840 or $0.11 per diluted share, compared to net income of $62,202 or $0.02 per share for the same period in 2008. For the first half of 2009, the net loss was $227,860 or $0.08 per share.

Second quarter results were impacted by increases in premiums charged by the FDIC, as well as the Company’s share of a special assessment on insured financial institutions to help replenish the FDIC insurance fund. Earnings were also pressured by ongoing economic challenges, which contributed to an increase in the loss on sale of assets and the Company’s decision to further increase its provision for loan losses.

President and CEO Laurie Stewart commented, “This was a challenging quarter for banks due to the increased assessments required to help rebuild the deposit insurance fund. We also continued to see the effects of a weak economy, which made it prudent to continue building our loan loss reserves. In spite of the impact these factors had on our current results, we’re encouraged by the progress we’ve made in our core business. Considering the difficult environment, we’re in the fortunate position of being able to take advantage of some key strategic growth opportunities as we continue to build our business for the long term.”

Sound Community Bank opened its sixth branch office in Port Angeles, WA on July 13. The Company previously announced that it has entered agreements to purchase the Tacoma and Port Angeles branches of 1st Security Bank of Washington. These transactions have received regulatory approval and are expected to close in the third quarter.

For the quarter ending June 30, 2009, net interest income grew 9.8% over the previous quarter to $2.9 million. This represents a 30.3% increase over the same quarter in 2008.

Deposit growth remained strong, increasing 2.1% from the first quarter to $255 million at June 30, 2009, which was a 29% increase from the year ago period.

Net loans increased 4.9% from the first quarter to $277 million at June 30, 2009, a 14.3% increase over the year ago period. Total assets increased 7.1% over the previous quarter to $325 million at June 30, 2009, an increase of 19.7% over the second quarter of 2008.

Non-performing assets were 1.28% at June 30, 2009, up from 1.01% at December 31, 2008 and 0.47% at June 30, 2008. Net charge offs were $556,000 for the quarter ending June 30, 2009. To address current market conditions, the provision for loan losses was increased by $475,000 or 105.5% over the previous quarter and by $575,000 or 164.3% over the same quarter in 2008.

Sound Financial Inc. is the holding company for Sound Community Bank, a full-service bank, providing personal and business banking services in communities across the greater Puget Sound region.
