EX-99.1 2 ex99-1.txt EXHIBIT 99.1 Exhibit 99.1 PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Robert W. White, CHAIRMAN, PRESIDENT AND CEO or Jack Sandoski, SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT AND CFO (215) 886-8280 ABINGTON COMMUNITY BANCORP, INC. ANNOUNCES INCREASE IN NET INCOME FOR THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2006 Jenkintown, PA (April 28, 2006) - Abington Community Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") (Nasdaq: ABBC), the "mid-tier" holding company for Abington Bank (the "Bank"), reported net income of $1.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, representing an increase of 23.8% over the comparable 2005 period. Diluted earnings per share were $0.11 for the quarter, compared to $0.09 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2005. Mr. Robert W. White, Chairman, President and CEO of the Company, stated, "We originated over $47 million in new loans for the first quarter of 2006, and despite the flat yield curve and the extremely competitive rate environment, we were able to increase first quarter net income by 23.8% over the prior year. Our ongoing payment of a quarterly dividend and our initiation of a stock repurchase program demonstrate our continued commitment to provide enhanced returns and long-term value to our stockholders." Mr. White continued that, "We are pleased to report the opening of our thirteenth Bank branch in Warrington, Pennsylvania. We are also pleased to report our continued progress towards the opening of two additional branches in Springhouse and Chalfont, Pennsylvania, as well as a new limited service branch in a retirement community in Concordville, Pennsylvania. As we have previously stated, we believe that these new branches will provide additional opportunities to grow our core deposits and establish new lending relationships." Net interest income was $5.5 million for the first quarter of 2006, representing an increase of $591,000 or 11.9% over the first quarter of 2005. Interest income for the quarter increased $2.4 million or 26.6% over the comparable 2005 period. The increase in interest income was primarily a result of growth in the average balance of our loan portfolio combined with an increase in the average yield on those assets. The average balance of our loan portfolio increased $118.3 million or 28.4% to $534.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 from $416.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2005. The average yield on our loan portfolio increased 49 basis points to 6.53% from 6.04% over the same period. Our increase in interest income was somewhat offset by an increase in our interest expense. Interest expense for the first quarter of 2006 increased $1.8 million or 45.1% over the comparable 2005 period. The increase in interest expense was the result of increases in the average balances of deposits and FHLB advances as well as increases in the average rates paid on deposits, FHLB advances and other borrowings. The majority of the increase in interest expense, however, relates to the increase in interest expense on deposits. During the quarter ended March 31, 2006 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2005, our average deposit balance grew by $80.1 million or 21.0%, primarily due to growth in higher-rate certificates of deposit. As a result of this growth, as well as the rising interest rate environment, the average rate we paid on our deposits increased 80 basis points to 2.86% for the first quarter of 2006 from 2.06% for the first quarter of 2005. Our average interest rate spread for the first quarter of 2006 decreased to 2.23% from 2.29% for the first quarter of 2005. Our net interest margin for the first quarter of 2006 compared to the first quarter of 2005 also decreased slightly to 2.75% from 2.80%. We made no provision to the allowance for loan losses during either the first quarter of 2006 or 2005. The provision for loan losses is charged to expense as necessary to bring our allowance for loan losses to a sufficient level to cover known and inherent losses in the loan portfolio. At March 31, 2006, non-performing loans amounted to 0.07% of loans receivable and our allowance for loan losses amounted to 370.0% of non-performing loans. Our balance of non-performing loans decreased significantly during the first quarter of 2006 to $390,000 at March 31, 2006 from $2.9 million at December 31, 2005. The balance of non-performing loans at December 31, 2005 consisted primarily of one loan, with a carrying value of $2.9 million, placed on non-accrual status in the fourth quarter of 2005. In the first quarter of 2006, we agreed to allow the sale of a portion of the underlying collateral of the loan, with the proceeds paid to the Bank. Approximately $1.7 million in net proceeds was received, and $1.0 million in additional payments were made, reducing the outstanding balance of the loan to approximately $200,000 at March 31, 2006. Although this loan remained on non-accrual status at March 31, 2006, based on the specific circumstances of the loan, including the estimated value of the remaining collateral, we do not expect to incur any loss on this loan. Our total non-interest income amounted to $695,000 for the first quarter of 2006 compared to $579,000 for the first quarter of 2005. The $115,000 increase was due primarily to a $164,000 increase in income from bank owned life insurance ("BOLI"), which was purchased in March 2005. This income was partially offset by a $14,000 decrease in gain on derivative instruments, net, as our final swap agreement expired in December 2005, and by a $27,000 decrease in service charge income. Our total non-interest expense for the first quarter of 2006 amounted to $3.8 million, representing an increase of $306,000 or 8.8% from the first quarter of 2005. The overall increase was due primarily to increases in salaries and employee benefits expense, the largest component of non-interest expense, and other non-interest expense. Salaries and employee benefits expense increased $316,000 or 17.5% for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2005. This increase was primarily due to additional expenses of $182,000 in the aggregate relating to the Company's 2005 Stock Option Plan ("SOP") and 2005 Recognition and Retention Plan ("RRP"). The remainder of the increase in salaries and employee benefits expense was due to growth in the total number of employees, normal merit increases in salaries, 2 and higher health and insurance benefit costs. Additional expenses of approximately $77,000 were recognized in other non-interest expense for SOP and RRP awards to directors, but were somewhat offset by decreases in various other categories of other non-interest expense. Income tax expense for the first quarter of 2006 amounted to $702,000 compared to $638,000 for the first quarter of 2005. The fluctuation in income tax expense was the result of the increase in our pre-tax income combined with an improvement in our effective tax rate. Our effective tax rate decreased to 28.7% for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, from 31.1% for quarter ended March 31, 2005. The improved tax rate was primarily a result of increased investment in tax-exempt municipal securities and bank owned life insurance. The Company's total assets increased $11.4 million, or 1.3%, to $855.4 million at March 31, 2006 compared to $844.1 million at December 31, 2005. The primary reason for the increase in total assets during the first quarter of 2006 was a $12.9 million or 46.4% increase in cash and cash equivalents to $40.6 million. The increase in cash and cash equivalents was primarily the result of an $11.8 million or 2.4% increase in total deposits and a $2.6 million decrease in mortgage-backed securities, somewhat offset by other uses of cash. The increased cash has become available due to a timing difference as additional funds available from increased deposits, as well as from payments on mortgage-backed securities, have yet to be invested in interest-earning assets. The Company's management plans to invest these funds in interest-earning assets, primarily loans, as the appropriate opportunities arise. Also contributing to the overall increase in assets during the first quarter of 2006 was an increase in property and equipment, net of $1.4 million or 21.3%, primarily as a result of increased investment in our new branches. The first of these branches opened in April 2006 in Warrington, Pennsylvania, with two more branches expected to open later this year. Our stockholders' equity decreased $1.9 million to $115.4 million at March 31, 2006 compared to $117.2 million at December 31, 2005. The decrease was primarily due to the purchase of approximately 199,000 shares of the Company's common stock for an aggregate of $2.7 million as part of the Company's stock repurchase program announced in January. The payment of the Company's quarterly cash dividends of $0.05 per share in March reduced retained earnings by $761,000. Additionally, our accumulated other comprehensive loss increased $559,000. These decreases to stockholders' equity were partially offset by our net income for the first quarter of 2006, resulting in a net increase to retained earnings of $985,000. Stockholders' equity was also increased by approximately $386,000 in the aggregate as a result of this quarter's proportional commitment to release unallocated ESOP shares, amortization of unvested RRP shares, and recognition of SOP expense to additional paid-in capital.
