FFW Corporation Announces Earnings for the Quarter and Six Months Ended December 31 2007
FFW Corporation (OTCBB: FFWC) (1/22/2008 Close: $23.00), parent corporation of Crossroads Bank, formerly First Federal Savings Bank of Wabash, announced operating results for the second fiscal quarter of 2008 and six months ended December 31, 2007. Net income and diluted net income per share for the three months ended December 31, 2007 were $651,000 and $0.55 compared to $695,000 and $0.56 at December 31, 2006. Net income and diluted net income per share for the six months ended December 31, 2007 were $1,285,000 and $1.08 compared to $1,626,000 and $1.31 at December 31, 2006.
Net interest income increased $302,000 or 7.7% from the prior fiscal year to date. The increase is due to both interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities responding to the current rate environment. Noninterest income decreased $315,000 or 21.7% from the prior fiscal year to date. The decrease is due to a fiscal year 2007 gain on sales of certain securities that did not recur in fiscal year 2008. The decrease in noninterest income was offset by a swing in sales of repossessed assets of $39,000. Noninterest expense increased $111,000 or 3.4% from the prior fiscal year to date. The increase was significantly due to planned increases in salaries and benefits and expenses associated with the bank name change. Net income was also impacted by an increase in income tax expense of $216,000 from the prior fiscal year to date.
Roger K. Cromer, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We are pleased with our solid performance for the quarter. During the quarter, we surpassed $300 million in assets and continue to improve our net interest margin from the prior year. We also completed our name change to Crossroads Bank. This was a strategic decision as a number of competitors in our current and future markets also use the 'First Federal' name."
The fiscal 2008 second quarter and year to date earnings represent a return on average shareholders' equity of 10.14% and 10.07% compared to 10.91% and 13.00% for the periods ended December 31, 2006. Return on average total assets for the three and six-month periods ended December 31, 2007 were 0.87% and 0.87% compared to 0.97% and 1.14% for the periods ended December 31, 2006.
The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of net loans receivable was 1.31% at December 31, 2007 and 1.26% at June 30, 2007. Nonperforming assets were $2.7 million at December 31, 2007 compared to $2.5 million at June 30, 2007.
