DEFIANCE, Ohio, Oct. 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- First Defiance Financial Corp. (Nasdaq: FDEF) today announced that net income for its third quarter ended September 30, 2009 totaled $329,000, or ($0.02) per diluted common share, compared to $322,000 or $0.04 per diluted common share for the quarter ended September 30, 2008.
For the nine month period ended September 30, 2009, First Defiance earned $6.6 million or $0.63 per diluted common share compared to $6.5 million or $0.83 per diluted common share for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008. Excluding the after-tax cost of $700,000 of acquisition-related charges from the 2008 results, First Defiance earned $7.1 million or $0.91 per diluted common share for the first nine months of 2008.
"The impact of the economic environment continues to be reflected in our results for the third quarter," said William J. Small, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer of First Defiance Financial Corp. "Most core operating metrics were again very solid; however, higher provision expense and additional expenses related to collections and OREO had a negative effect on earnings. Through all of this, net income remained flat with the third quarter 2008 due primarily to better net interest margin and a larger loan base this year compared to September 30, 2008."
Credit Quality
The third quarter 2009 results include expense for provision for loan losses of $8.1 million, compared with $4.9 million in the same period in 2008 and $4.0 million in the second quarter of 2009. "In light of the continued environment of high unemployment, as well as the continued uncertainty of the commercial real estate market, we believe it is prudent to build general reserves," said Small. "This decision drove the provision expense increase in the third quarter." The allowance for loan loss as a percentage of average total loans increased to 1.92% at September 30, 2009 from 1.60% at June 30, 2009 and 1.47% at September 30, 2008.
Non-performing loans totaled $40.1 million at September 30, 2009, down slightly from $40.4 million at June 30, 2009. The September 30, 2009 balance included $35.5 million of loans that are on non-accrual or 90 days past due and another $4.6 million of loans considered non-performing because of changes in terms granted to borrowers although the loans are still accruing interest. In addition, First Defiance had $9.4 million of Real Estate Owned at September 30, 2009. For the third quarter of 2009, First Defiance recorded net charge-offs of $2.6 million, which represented 0.66% of average loans outstanding (annualized) for the quarter, down from 0.96% in the second quarter of 2009.
"Asset quality continues to be a drag on earnings in this economy," Small said. "However, our delinquency numbers improved in the third quarter over the second quarter results and we hope this indicates a positive trend. We also saw a reduction in charge-offs in the linked quarters. We continue to devote significant resources to the monitoring and early recognition of any weaknesses in the portfolio. While we are not seeing new specific loan problems arise in the portfolio, we are focused on the overall economic environment we are operating in. The overall reserve build was appropriate based on our general view regarding the near term direction of the economy."
Investment Portfolio
The Other-Than-Temporary Impairment (OTTI) charge recognized by First Defiance in the third quarter of 2009 totaled $994,000. The OTTI charge for the quarter related to one security with a book value of $163,000 at June 30, 2009, which was written down to zero in the third quarter, and four other Trust Preferred Collateralized Debt Obligations (CDOs) with a remaining book value of $2.2 million. First Defiance also has another CDO investment that had an OTTI charge in the first quarter of 2009, which has a remaining book value of $243,000 and market value of $170,000 at September 30, 2009, which has seen positive upward movement in its discounted cash flows and resulted in no additional OTTI charge for the current and previous quarter. OTTI charges are due to the deterioration of the underlying collateral and relate to the credit component of the security.
First Defiance also has other Trust Preferred CDO investments with a total book value of $2.9 million and market value of $1.2 million at September 30, 2009. The decline in value of those investments is primarily due to the overall lack of liquidity in the CDO market. These investments continue to pay principal and interest payments in accordance with the contractual terms of the securities. Management has not deemed the impairment in value of these CDO investments to be Other-Than-Temporary, and, therefore, has not recognized the reduction in value of those investments in earnings.
Net Interest Margin
Net interest income increased to $17.6 million in the third quarter of 2009 compared to $16.4 million in the 2008 third quarter, and was up from $16.2 million for the second quarter of 2009. Net interest margin was 3.88% for the 2009 third quarter compared to 3.61% in the second quarter of 2009 and 3.81% in the third quarter of 2008. Yield on interest earning assets declined by 58 basis points, to 5.60% in the third quarter of 2009 from 6.18% in the 2008 third quarter while the cost of interest-bearing liabilities and non-interest-bearing demand deposits decreased by 62 basis points, to 1.77% from 2.39%.
"Our disciplined pricing strategy resulted in the improved net interest margin," said Small. "We will continue to focus on managing the margin and adjusting our pricing strategy in this challenging rate environment."
Non-Interest Income
Non-interest income for the 2009 third quarter increased to $5.6 million from $4.1 million in the third quarter of 2008. Loss on investment securities, net of gains of $154,000, for the third quarter of 2009 was $840,000, which included $994,000 of OTTI charges compared with a loss of $2.1 million in the third quarter of 2008 related to OTTI charges. Mortgage banking income decreased to $980,000 in the third quarter of 2009, from $1.0 million for the same period in 2008. Gains from the sale of mortgage loans increased in the third quarter of 2009 to $1.5 million from $624,000 in the third quarter of 2008. Mortgage loan servicing revenue increased slightly for the 2009 third quarter compared to 2008. The increases in gains and servicing revenue were offset by expense increases of $246,000 for the amortization of mortgage servicing rights and increases of $736,000 for valuation adjustments.
First Defiance recorded a charge of $772,000 on mortgage servicing rights (MSR) valuation adjustment in the third quarter of 2009 compared with a charge of $36,000 in the third quarter of 2008. The MSR valuation adjustment is a reflection of the decrease in the fair value of certain sectors of the Company's portfolio of mortgage servicing rights.
"Other Than Temporary Impairment charges and the adjustment to the valuation of the mortgage servicing rights more than offset the large increase in the gain on sale of mortgages this quarter, but we increased non-interest income $1.5 million over the third quarter 2008," commented Small. "We did see a reduction in mortgage originations compared to the first two quarters of 2009, a trend we expect to continue, but originations are still ahead of the 2008 pace."
Non-Interest Expenses
Total non-interest expense was $14.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, a decrease from the $15.2 million of non-interest expense, which included $20,000 of acquisition related charges recognized in the 2008 third quarter.
Compensation and benefits decreased by $1.4 million or 18%, compared to 2008 third quarter. The decrease is primarily due to adjustments in performance based variable compensation. FDIC insurance expense increased to $649,000 in the third quarter of 2009 from $327,000 in the same period of 2008 as a result of the FDIC rate increases and higher insured deposits. Other non-interest expense increased to $3.7 million in the third quarter of 2009 from $2.8 million in the third quarter of 2008. Credit, collection and OREO-related costs increased $777,000 over the third quarter of 2008. Deferred compensation expense increased $462,000 from the third quarter of 2008. These increases were partially offset by decreases in marketing, credit card servicing charges and miscellaneous other operating expenses.
Year-To-Date Results
For the nine month period ended September 30, 2009, net interest income totaled $49.8 million, compared with $46.2 million in the first nine months of 2008. Average interest-earning assets increased to $1.81 billion for the nine months of 2009 compared to $1.63 billion for the first nine months of 2008. Net interest margin for the first nine months of 2009 was 3.73%, down 10 basis points from the 3.83% margin reported in the nine month period ended September 30, 2008.
The provision for loan losses for the nine months of 2009 was $14.8 million, compared to $8.8 million recorded during the first nine months of 2008.
Non-interest income for the first nine months of 2009 was $20.7 million compared to $16.3 million during the same period of 2008. Most of the non-interest income increase was in mortgage banking, which increased 112% to $7.7 million for the first nine months of 2009 compared to $3.6 million in the first nine months of 2008. In addition, service fees and other charges were $10.0 million for the first nine months of 2009 compared to $9.8 million during the first nine months of 2008. Non-interest income for the first nine month period of 2009 was reduced by $2.5 million of OTTI charges recognized for impaired investment securities.
Non-interest expense increased to $45.9 million for the first nine months of 2009 from $44.2 million in 2008. Excluding one-time acquisition-related charges of $1.0 million, non-interest expense was $43.2 million for the first nine months of 2008. For the nine months ending September 30, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008, FDIC insurance expense increased by $1.9 million due to increases in the assessment rates, a 2009 special assessment of $900,000 recorded in the second quarter and full utilization early in the 2008 first quarter of credits issued by the FDIC. Credit, collection and OREO-related costs have increased $1.9 million. Year to date 2008 non-interest expense included the $752,000 of expense associated with losses related to a former investment advisor.
"We are proceeding cautiously in this tentative environment," said Small. "We believe that we will see indications of improvement in the national and local economies, but we realize there are still many challenges out there for certain sectors. We also are monitoring the Washington scene for new regulatory initiatives and potential FDIC premium increases and additional assessments."
Total Assets at $2.02 Billion
Total assets at September 30, 2009 were $2.02 billion, compared to $1.96 billion at December 31, 2008.
