BENEFICIAL MUTUAL BANCORP, INC. ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER 2009 RESULTS
PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA, July 27, 2009 -- Beneficial Mutual Bancorp, Inc. ("Beneficial") (NASDAQGS: BNCL), the parent company of Beneficial Bank (the "Bank"), today announced its financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009.
For the three months ended June 30, 2009, Beneficial recorded a loss of $50 thousand, or $0.00 per share, compared to net income of $5.1 million, or $0.07 per share for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The decline in earnings resulted primarily from increased credit costs and increased FDIC deposit insurance expenses, including a special assessment imposed by the FDIC during the second quarter. In the three months ended June 30, 2008, Beneficial earned $9.1 million, or $0.11 per share, including a pension curtailment gain of $7.3 million. Year to date through June 30, 2009, Beneficial has recorded earnings of $5.1 million, or $0.07 per share.
"The second quarter of 2009 presented significant challenges and opportunities for Beneficial," said Gerard Cuddy, Beneficial's President and CEO. "We're meeting the challenges presented by the current economic weakness head on, while capitalizing on opportunities for loan growth and expansion of our relationship-based core deposits. While increased credit costs and the FDIC special assessment adversely impacted our quarterly results, we remain confident in the strength of our balance sheet, operating performance, and our sound capital position. And we are even more encouraged by our outstanding employees as they help our customers do the right thing financially."
Highlights for the quarter included:
o Deposits increased by $119.1 million, or 4.1%, to $3.0 billion at June 30, 2009, up from $2.9 billion at March 31, 2009.
o Total loans outstanding increased to $2.7 billion during the quarter ended June 30, 2009, up from $2.5 billion at March 31, 2009.
o Net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2009 increased to $30.4 million from $29.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, an increase of $0.9 million or 3.2%.
o The provision for loan losses increased $4.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 to $7.1 million, up from $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009.
o FDIC deposit insurance expense increased $2.4 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2009 to $2.9 million, compared to $0.5 million recorded for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. The increase included a special assessment expense of $1.9 million.
Total assets increased $136.3 million, or 3.4%, from March 31, 2009, to $4.2 billion at June 30, 2009. The increase in total assets was primarily due to an increase in total loans outstanding of $150.7 million partially offset by an increase in the allowance for loan losses of $5.9 million. Commercial, consumer and residential real estate loan portfolios all experienced growth during the quarter ended June 30, 2009.
Total deposits increased $119.1 million, or 4.1%, to $3.0 billion at June 30, 2009, compared to $2.9 billion at March 31, 2009. The largest contributor to this increase was growth in core deposits of $152.0 million to $2.0 billion at June 30, 2009, up from $1.9 billion at March 31, 2009. Core deposits grew in all categories with the largest growth in municipal checking accounts, which increased 23.4% from $370.6 million at March 31, 2009, to $457.5 million at June 30, 2009.
At June 30, 2009, Beneficial's stockholders' equity equaled $620.2 million, or 14.8% of total assets, compared to stockholders' equity of $620.3 million, or 15.3% of total assets at March 31, 2009.
Nonperforming loans totaled $80.5 million, or 1.9% of total assets, at June 30, 2009, compared to $38.3 million, or 0.9% of total assets at March 31, 2009. At June 30, 2009, nonperforming loans consisted of $55.4 million in commercial loans, $18.5 million in residential real estate loans and $6.6 million in consumer loans. Net charge-offs during the three-month period ended June 30, 2009 were $1.2 million, compared to $2.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2009. The allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2009 totaled $43.2 million, or 1.6% of total loans outstanding, compared to $37.3 million, or 1.4% of total loans outstanding at March 31, 2009.
The Bank recorded a provision for loan losses of $7.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared to a provision of $3.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. The provision for the second quarter of 2009 included $6.2 million related to specific commercial loans, with the remainder related to the ongoing evaluation of risk factors applied to the loan portfolio, reflecting the continued weakness in the economic environment during the quarter.
Beneficial's net interest income increased $0.9 million, or 3.2%, to $30.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, compared to $29.5 million for quarter ended March 31, 2009, and increased by $2.4 million, or 8.4%, compared to net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2008.
The net interest margin increased to 3.24% for the three months ended June 30, 2009, an increase of 2 basis points from the three months ended March 31, 2009, as the decrease in interest cost exceeded the decline in the yield on interest bearing liabilities. For the quarter ended June 30, 2008, the Bank reported a net interest margin of 3.31%.
Non-interest income declined to $6.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, down $1.9 million from the $8.0 million recorded for the first quarter of 2009. The decrease in non-interest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 was primarily due to a decrease in insurance commission income of $1.0 million and a decrease in gains on the sale of securities of $0.3 million from the quarter ended March 31, 2009. Compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2008, non-interest income rose $0.2 million or 3.5%.
Non-interest expense was $29.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, up $1.3 million, or 4.6%, from $28.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The largest factor contributing to this increase was the expense recorded for FDIC deposit insurance assessments of $2.9 million offset by decreases in other operating expenses. Compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2008, non-interest expense increased $11.1 million, or 59.6%. During the quarter ended June 30, 2008, Beneficial recorded a pension curtailment gain of $7.3 million.
