Northeast Bancorp Reports Fourth Quarter Results, Declares Dividend

  Share This Story

LEWISTON, Maine - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Northeast Bancorp ("Northeast" or the "Company" ) (NASDAQ: NBN), a Maine-based full-service financial services company and parent of Northeast Bank, today reported net income of $561,000 or $0.13 per diluted common share for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, which includes the effect of certain one-time gains described below. For the 184-day period ended June 30, 2011, the Company earned $12.6 million or $3.47 per diluted common share, results that included a $15.4 million bargain purchase gain and $3.2 million of transaction costs related to the merger of Northeast and FHB Formation LLC ("FHB" ), which was consummated on December 29, 2010, and contributed approximately $16.2 million of new capital to the Company.

The Board of Directors has declared a cash dividend of $0.09 per share, payable on August 26, 2011 to shareholders of record as of August 12, 2011.

"We are very pleased with the progress that we've made in positioning Northeast Bank for growth," said Richard Wayne, President and Chief Executive Officer of Northeast Bancorp. "This year, Northeast completed a successful transaction with FHB that brought new capital to the Company, enabling us to grow core deposits in our markets and increase our capital ratios. This, combined with our investments in building a Loan Acquisition and Servicing Group and an Online Deposit Program, will provide Northeast with a solid platform for future success."

Earnings for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 included two non-recurring items, as follows:

1. Gains on sales of securities totaling $1.15 million; and

2. A $225,000 positive adjustment to the bargain purchase gain recorded in connection with the accounting for the merger with FHB.

Total assets as of June 30, 2011 were $596.4 million, a decrease of approximately 4.2%, or $26.2 million, compared to total assets of $622.6 million as of June 30, 2010. The principal components of the change in the balance sheet over the past year were as follows:

1. An $81.5 million, or 20.6%, reduction in loans outstanding, approximately half of which is attributable to loan sales, principally from the Company's indirect consumer loan portfolio. The remainder of the reduction in loans is the result of net amortization and pay-offs of residential and commercial loans and a $9.1 million decrease in loans held for sale;

2. A $5.4 million reduction in the allowance for loan losses, a result of acquisition accounting that does not permit the carryover of the predecessor company's allowance for loan losses. Credit considerations for loans on the date of consummation of the merger with FHB are instead reflected in fair value adjustments on that date;

3. A $43.7 million, or 94.6%, reduction in short-term borrowed funds;

4. A $16.9 million, or 4.4%, net increase in deposits, centered principally in demand deposit accounts and time deposits; and

5. A $48.3 million, or 26.1%, increase in cash and securities, the net result of changes in loans and funding sources, and the infusion of new capital in conjunction with the merger.

Non-performing loans totaled $7.9 million at June 30, 2011, a reduction of $900,000, or 10.1 %, from June 30, 2010.

As a result of the merger with FHB, coupled with the reduction in balance sheet size, the Company's capital ratios have increased: the tier 1 leverage ratio increased to 10.3% compared to 8.4% at June 30, 2010 and the total risk-based capital ratio increased to 19.0% from 14.1% at June 30, 2010.
