NWSB Northwest Bancorp (MM)

WARREN, Pa., July 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Northwest Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ:NWSB) announced net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 of $7.3 million, or $0.15 per diluted share. This represents a decrease of $7.1 million, or 49.5%, over the same quarter last year when net income was $14.4 million, or $0.30 per diluted share. The annualized returns on average shareholders' equity and average assets for the current quarter were 4.62% and 0.41% compared to 9.30% and 0.83% for the same quarter last year. The Company emphasized that the current period income was negatively impacted by several unusual items. Most significantly, the Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $11.7 million. This provision for the quarter was $8.3 million more than the same quarter last year and exceeded net charge-offs for the quarter by $5.6 million after tax. The current period also included a charge of $2.6 million, after tax, for the market value impairment of two non-agency CMOs and a charge of $2.0 million, after tax, for the FDIC's Emergency Assessment. In making this announcement, William J. Wagner, President and CEO, noted, "The length and severity of the current economic recession has greatly stressed the financial condition of some of Northwest's loan customers and their ability to make timely payments on their loans. This situation in turn has forced our Company to significantly increase the reserve for loan losses even though our actual charge-offs remain at low levels. On a positive note, our core earnings remain strong with our net interest margin at 3.56%, our noninterest income continuing to increase, and our controllable expenses increasing only measurably." The Company also announced that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.22 per share payable on August 13, 2009, to shareholders of record as of July 30, 2009. This represents the 59th consecutive quarter in which the Company has paid a cash dividend. Net interest income increased by $2.8 million, or 5.3%, for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same quarter last year. Net interest margin for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 was 3.56% compared to 3.47% for the quarter ended June 30, 2008. The increase resulted primarily from an improvement in funding mix, with a significant reduction in the reliance on high-cost certificates of deposit and generally lower rates on all other types of deposits. The provision for loan losses increased by $8.3 million to $11.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 compared to $3.4 million for the same quarter last year. This increase is primarily attributable to a decline in general economic conditions and an increase in troubled loans. Loans with payments 90 days or more delinquent have increased to $122.6 million at June 30, 2009 from $99.2 million at December 31, 2008 and $69.0 million at June 30, 2008. Net losses from loans charged-off were $2.4 million in each of the quarters ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 and were $3.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. Net losses from loans charged-off were $5.7 million and $4.2 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Noninterest expense increased by $5.5 million, or 13.3%, to $47.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 from $41.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 primarily due to increases in FDIC insurance assessments, marketing expenses and other operating expense. Quarterly federal deposit insurance premiums increased by $870,000, or 85.3%, as the Company had credits available in the prior year quarter to offset premiums. Also, the Company incurred a $3.3 million charge for a FDIC Emergency Assessment. Marketing expenses increased by $585,000, or 40.9%, to $2.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 from $1.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2008. The increase is primarily the result of publicizing the Company's recognition as one of Forbes.com's 100 Most Trustworthy Companies. Net income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009 of $19.6 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, represents a decrease of $7.5 million, or 27.6% compared to net income of $27.1 million, or $0.56 per diluted share, for the six-month period ended June 30, 2008. The annualized returns on average shareholders' equity and average assets were 6.26% and 0.56%, respectively, for the current six-month period compared to 8.72% and 0.79%, respectively, in the prior year.
