For release Tuesday, July 30, 2013 TFS Financial Corporation Announces Net Income of $16.2 Million for Quarter Ended June 30, 2013
Results Reflect Highest Quarterly Net Income Since 2007
(Cleveland, OH - July 30, 2013) - TFS Financial Corporation (NASDAQ: TFSL) (the "Company"), the holding company for Third Federal Savings and Loan Association of Cleveland (the "Association"), today reported net income of $16.2 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2013.
The Company's latest financial results compare to net income of $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The increase in net income is largely the result of a combination of a lower provision for loan losses and increased gain on sale of loans, partially offset by an increase in non-interest expenses. Net income of $40.2 million was reported for the nine months ended June 30, 2013, compared to net income of $10.4 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2012. The increase in net income for the nine months is largely the result of a lower provision for loan losses and increases in net interest income and gain on sale of loans, partially offset by an increase in non-interest expenses.
"We are very pleased with the significant increase in our net income compared to last year, Chairman and CEO Marc A. Stefanski said. "We continue to experience improvements in loan performance and saw a 34-percent growth in our purchase business last quarter. These are both positive signs that the housing market in Ohio and across the country continues to strengthen.
"Key economic indicators in our markets continue to improve, reflecting the ongoing recovery in the residential real estate market," Stefanski added. "Loan delinquencies have decreased, while hiring this year has remained stable in Ohio and has picked up in Florida. With new home sales at their highest level since 2008, we are very optimistic about the future of our home mortgage business, and remain well positioned to meet our customers' borrowing and savings needs.“
Lower interest rates on deposits, particularly on certificates of deposit, caused net interest income to increase slightly, to $66.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 from $65.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. Net interest income increased $6.6 million, or 3%, to $202.5 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 from $195.9 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2012. Low interest rates continue to decrease the yield on interest-earning assets and to a greater extent, the rate paid on deposits. As a result, the interest rate spread has improved from the prior year. The interest rate spread increased 13 basis points in the current quarter to 2.24% compared to 2.11% in the same quarter last year.
