Louisiana Bancorp, Inc. Announces Earnings for the Fourth Quarter and Year
METAIRIE, La., Jan. 30, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Louisiana Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") (Nasdaq: LABC), the holding company for Bank of New Orleans (the "Bank"), announced today that the Company's net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2014 was $799,000, or $0.30 per diluted share, compared to quarterly net income of $638,000, or $0.24 per diluted share during the fourth quarter of 2013. Net interest income between the respective quarterly periods increased by $46,000, non-interest income increased by $182,000, and non-interest expense decreased by $75,000. For the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company reported net income of $2.8 million, or $1.06 per diluted share, an increase of $109,000 compared to the year ended December 31, 2013.
Lawrence J. LeBon, III, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and the Bank, stated: "We are pleased to report that during 2014, the Company increased net income by $109,000, increased total loans receivable by 11.1%, and grew total assets by $16.6 million. In addition, the market price for our common stock increased from $18.22 at December 31, 2013, to $22.45 at December 31, 2014, an increase of $4.23 per share, or 23.2%. During 2014, we implemented a quarterly dividend program that returned a cumulative total of $0.20 per share to our shareholders.�This quarterly dividend program was complemented by a non-recurring special cash dividend of $0.75 per share in the fourth quarter.�As we begin the new year, we renew our commitment to prudently managing our investors' capital in a manner that maximizes long-term value and profitability."
Total assets were $333.3 million at December 31, 2014, an increase of $16.6 million compared to December 31, 2013.�During 2014, our asset growth was primarily attributable to a $27.4 million increase in our net loan portfolio, which was partially offset by a $1.9 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents, and a $10.4 million decrease in our securities portfolio.�The net loan portfolio was $274.9 million at December 31, 2014 compared to $247.5 million at December 31, 2013. Single-family mortgage loans grew by $22.1 million, home equity loans and lines of credit increased by $3.7 million, and non-residential mortgage loans increased by $2.7 million, while the remaining sectors of our loan portfolio experienced slight decreases.�Total securities available-for-sale decreased by $3.0 million and total securities held-to-maturity decreased by $7.4 million during 2014.
Total non-performing loans were $961,000 at December 31, 2014, a decrease of $367,000 compared to December 31, 2013.�Total non-performing loans comprised 0.35% and 0.53%, respectively, of our total loans receivable and total non-performing assets were 0.29% and 0.60%, respectively, of our total assets at December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.�Our allowance for loan losses was 246.41% of our non-performing loans at December 31, 2014 compared to 167.24% at December 31, 2013.
Total deposits decreased by $9.4 million, to $193.1 million at December 31, 2014 compared to $202.5 million at December 31, 2013.�During 2014, non-interest bearing deposits increased by $1.4 million to $16.5 million, and interest-bearing deposits decreased by $10.8 million to $176.6 million.�The decrease in interest-bearing deposits was primarily due to the outflow of high-balance rate-sensitive certificates of deposit and an expected large withdrawal from a commercial depositor.�Total Federal Home Loan Bank advances were $75.5 million at December 31, 2014, an increase of $24.5 million from December 31, 2013.�This increase in FHLB advances was in the form of short-term advances which were used to offset the outflow of deposits and fund the growth in our loan portfolio during the year.
Total shareholders' equity was $58.4 million at December 31, 2014 and $57.9 million at December 31, 2013.�During 2014, the Company paid four quarterly cash dividends of $0.05 per share of common stock and a special cash dividend of $0.75 per share, or $2.4 million in the aggregate.�Additionally, the Company acquired 90,380 shares of its common stock at a total cost of $1.8 million pursuant to its repurchase plans. The resulting increase in treasury stock from the stock repurchases was offset by the reissuance of 105,330 treasury shares upon the exercise of stock options by several employees and directors.�The exercise of these options resulted in a $1.5 million decrease in treasury stock and a $256,000 decrease in additional paid-in-capital. For the years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company's average equity to average assets ratio were 18.1% and 17.8%, respectively.��The Bank's Tier 1 leverage ratio, Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio, and total risk-based capital were 13.24%, 21.78%, and 22.96%, respectively, at December 31, 2014.�The Bank's capital ratios reflect a $6 million dividend payable to the Company that was declared on September 30, 2014.�This dividend will provide the Company with liquidity to execute its capital management strategies including, but not limited to, the payment of cash dividends and funding future stock repurchase plans.
Net interest income was approximately $2.7 million during the fourth quarter of 2014, an increase of $46,000 compared to the fourth quarter of 2013.�Our net interest margin, which expresses net interest income as a percentage of average interest-earning assets, was 3.36% and 3.39%, respectively, for the three month periods ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.�Total interest income was approximately $3.2 million and $3.3 million, respectively, for each of the quarterly periods ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.�The average balance of interest earning assets increased by $8.2 million and the average yield on interest-earning assets decreased from 4.26% to 4.09% during the three month period ended December 31, 2014 compared to the same three month period in the prior year. �Interest income on loans receivable was $2.9 million during the fourth quarter of 2014, with an average balance of $268.0 million and an average yield of 4.35%.�Similarly, interest income of $2.9 million was earned on loans receivable with an average balance of $246.1 million and an average yield of 4.65% during the fourth quarter of 2013.�The average balance of our mortgage-backed securities and CMOs decreased by $11.7 million, to $40.8 million, during the fourth quarter of 2014 compared to the fourth quarter of 2013, resulting in a decrease of $102,000 in interest income earned on mortgage-backed securities and CMOs in the 2014 period compared to the 2013 period.�Interest income on investment securities during the fourth quarter of 2014 was $20,000, at an average yield of 2.57%, compared to $26,000, at an average yield of 4.48%, during the fourth quarter of 2013.�Interest income earned on other interest-earning assets was $5,000 and $6,000, respectively, for the three month periods ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.�
