Camco Financial Announces Third Quarter 2013 Earnings

CAMBRIDGE, Ohio, Oct. 29, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Camco Financial Corporation (Nasdaq:CAFI), the bank holding company for Advantage Bank, today announced financial results for the three months ended September 30, 2013.

Net earnings increased to $0.7 million for the third quarter 2013 from $0.5 million for the same period in 2012. For the three months ended September 30, 2013, earnings per fully diluted share were $0.05 versus $0.07 a year ago. The third quarter 2013 results included recognition of mortgage servicing rights ($0.4 million) and release of a portion ($0.6 million) of the allowance for loan losses. There were 15,027,666 diluted weighted shares outstanding for the third quarter 2013 compared with 7,473,123 diluted weighted shares outstanding for the same period in 2012. The year-over-year increase in the number of diluted shares outstanding is principally due to common shares issued in the Company's stock offering completed in the fourth quarter 2012.

James E. Huston, President and CEO, stated, "As a result of the solid year-over-year third quarter performance, we were able to further strengthen our balance sheet and continue to improve credit quality. Stockholders' equity to total assets increased to 8.85% of total assets at September, 30, 2013, from 6.29% on the same date last year. Classified loans and non-performing loans at quarter-end were 31% and 35%, respectively, below levels at the same date in 2012. We are continuing to implement multiple initiatives related to growth opportunities and are also focused on adapting to the continuing sluggish economy while maintaining strong liquidity. The sequential quarter improvement in the third quarter 2013 net interest margin to 3.27% is a positive sign of these efforts."

Mr. Huston continued, "On October 10, 2013, we announced a definitive agreement with Huntington Bancshares Incorporated under which they will acquire Camco Financial Corporation in a cash and stock transaction. Under the terms of the agreement, which was unanimously approved by the boards of both companies, shareholders of Camco Financial may elect to receive 0.7264 shares of Huntington common stock, or $6.00 in cash, for each share of Camco Financial common stock, subject to proration provisions specified in the merger agreement that provide for a targeted aggregate split of total consideration of 80% common stock and 20% cash. Previously issued warrants and options may be exercised according to their original terms up until closing and will convert to rights to acquire shares of Huntington common stock after the consummation of the merger. We are excited to be joining a financial institution that, like Camco Financial, has a longstanding commitment to customer service, innovative products and investing in the communities it serves. This transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2014, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals and the approval of the Camco Financial stockholders."

Review of Financial Performance

Overview:

The following items summarize key aspects of the Company's performance during the quarter ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012:

• Total deposit balances decreased $21.3 million, or 3%, to $609.0 million driven by the anticipated reduction of higher-cost, single-product certificates of deposit.
• Net interest income declined $0.3 million to $5.7 million. This decrease was attributable to a reduction in loan balances, especially related to early loan payoffs in the fourth quarter of 2012, coupled with lower loan yields. The anticipated reduction in certificates of deposit balances during this same period reduced the cost of funds and partially offset the impact of the lower earning asset yield. 
• Noninterest income increased to $1.9 million driven by a higher value for mortgage servicing rights as a result of mortgage originations and lower prepayments of mortgages, partially offset by lower spreads on gain on sale of residential mortgage loans.
• Noninterest expense was $7.3 million for the third quarter of 2013. The increase from the same period in 2012 was principally due to growth initiatives, which was partially offset by lower REO and classified assets expenses attributable to credit quality improvements.
• Classified assets (which include substandard, doubtful, loss, and real estate owned) were $27.1 million at September 30, 2013, representing a decrease of 38% compared to the same date in 2012.

Net Interest Margin:

Net interest margin was 3.27% for the third quarter of 2013 compared to 3.49% for the same period last year due to the lower yield on earning assets. Net interest margin is expected to be under pressure during the remainder of 2013 due to low interest rates and slow economic growth. The Company continues to pursue favorable risk-adjusted pricing opportunities, further improvement in credit quality, and other balance sheet changes to enhance net interest margin in future periods.

Net Interest Income:

Net interest income before the provision for loan losses was $5.7 million for the third quarter of 2013 compared to $6.0 million for the same period a year ago. The decline was attributable to a reduction in the yield on the earning assets, partially offset by a decrease in the cost of funds. 

The yield on earning assets declined to 4.06% in the third quarter of 2013 from 4.52% a year ago. This decrease was due to lower loan balances in the higher earning asset mix, which resulted from early loan payoffs in late-2012 as well as lower loan yields attributable to the current interest rate environment. The planned runoff of higher-yielding certificates of deposit, along with the restructuring of $25 million of FHLB advances, contributed to a reduction in the cost of funds and helped to mitigate the impact of the yield on earning assets. Cost of funds for the quarter ended September 30, 2013, declined to 0.91% from 1.12% for the third quarter of 2012. 

Provision Expense, Credit Quality, and Allowance for Loan Losses:

The allowance for loan and lease losses was $9.7 million at September 30, 2013, compared to $14.5 million on the same date a year ago. This decrease was due to further improvement in asset quality and, therefore, a ($0.6) million provision for loan losses was recorded for the third quarter of 2013 compared to $0.5 million for the same period in 2012. The Company maintains a strong allowance for loan and lease losses and remains committed to further improvement in asset quality. 

• Total delinquent loans were $12.7 million at September 30, 2013, a 24% decrease since the same date last year. 
• Classified loans (which include substandard, doubtful, and loss) were $22.5 million at September 30, 2013, or 31% below the same date in 2012. 
• Non-performing loans were $14.9 million at September 30, 2013 or 35% below the September 30, 2012 amount. 
• Non-performing loans as a percentage of total loans (including loans held for sale) were 2.53% at September 30, 2013, compared to 3.80% on the same date of the prior year. 
• The allowance for loan and lease losses, expressed as a percentage of non-performing loans, was 65.1% at September 30, 2013 compared to 63.7% on the same date a year ago.

Noninterest Income:

Noninterest income increased 2% to $1.9 million for the third quarter of 2013. This was primarily attributable to higher value of mortgage servicing rights versus the same period last year as a result of mortgage originations and lower prepayment of mortgages, partially offset by lower spreads on gain on sale of residential mortgage loans.

Noninterest Expense:

Noninterest expense was $7.3 million for the third quarter of 2013 compared to $6.9 million for the same quarter a year ago. The increase was principally due to growth initiatives, which was partially offset by lower REO and classified assets expenses attributable to credit quality improvements.

Balance Sheet:

Total assets were $760.6 million at September 30, 2013, compared to $754.2 million on the same date last year. This increase was principally due to the increase in stockholder equity, which more than offset the anticipated runoff of higher cost, single product certificates of deposit, being used to fund additional earning assets. The increased stockholder equity resulted from the $10 million stock offering, the recognition of the deferred tax asset, and normal earnings. We continue to focus on profitable lending opportunities and investments as a means of employing our cash efficiently. 

Asset Quality:

Loan quality continued to improve during the third quarter of 2013 resulting in steady progress concerning classified loans and non-performing loans over the past twelve months. 

The following table provides a comparison of changes in key factors for the third quarter of 2013, year-end 2012 and the third quarter of 2012:

(Dollars in thousands)	9/30/2013	12/31/2012	9/30/2012
Classified Loans*	$22,492	$29,184	$32,649
Non-Performing Loans	$14,860	$19,594	$22,787
Loan Loss Reserve	$9,671	$12,147	$14,508
Loan Loss Reserve/Total Loans	1.64%	2.12%	2.42%

*Includes substandard, doubtful and loss (including homogenous loans)

Deposits and Borrowings:

Total deposits at the end of the third quarter of 2013 were $21.3 million below September 30, 2012. The decrease is mostly due to a planned reduction in certain categories of certificates of deposit, which declined $19.1 million since September 30, 2012. The Company is focused on continuing to reduce the level of non-core deposits, particularly higher-yielding, single-product certificates of deposit related to rate sensitive depositors.

FHLB advances and other borrowings were $71.4 million at September 30, 2013, an increase of 11%, compared to the same date last year. This increase was due to an increase in customer repurchase agreements and an increase in borrowing on the FHLB cash advance line to fund earning assets on a short-term basis.

Equity:

Stockholders' equity was $67.3 million at September 30, 2013, compared to $47.4 million at September 30, 2012. Key factors that contributed to this 42% increase included completion of the Company's $10.0 million stock offering in November 2012, recognition of a $5.9 million deferred tax asset in the second quarter of 2013, net earnings during the past twelve months, and proceeds from the exercise of warrants related to the rights offering. Stockholders' equity at September 30, 2013 was 8.85% of total assets compared to 6.29% on the same date last year.
