William Penn Bancorp, Inc. Announces Third Quarter Earnings

LEVITTOWN, Pa., May 21, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- William Penn Bancorp, Inc. (OTCBB: WMPN) announced net income of $725,000 ($0.21 per basic and diluted share) for the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to $1,012,000 ($0.28 per basic and diluted share) for the same period last year.  The decrease in net income of $287,000 for three months ending March 31, 2015 was primarily due to a gain recognized on the sale of our Levittown office building during the prior year.  Net interest income after provision for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $2,290,000 as compared to net interest income after provision of $2,179,000 for the same period ending March 31, 2014. This increase was mainly attributable to a $96,000 special dividend on FHLB stock received during the three months ended March 31, 2015. William Penn Bancorp, Inc. had assets of $323.8 million at March 31, 2015 as compared to $314.1 million at June 30, 2014.

The decrease in earnings is primarily attributed to a realized gain on sale of office building of $582,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2014.  This decrease was partially offset by a decrease in provision for loan loss by $225,000 to $197,000 for nine months ended March 31, 2015 from $422,000 for the same period ending March 31, 2014.
