Three Months Ended June 30, 2014
Lonnie R. Trasamar, President of Wells Financial Corp. (OTC BB:WEFP)(the Company), the holding company of Wells Federal Bank (the Bank), announced earnings for the second quarter of 2014 of $96,000, down $290,000 or 75.0% when compared to the second quarter of 2013. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2014 were $0.13, down $0.37 or 74.0% when compared to the second quarter of 2013.
When comparing the second quarter of 2014 with the second quarter of 2013, the decrease in net income was due, primarily, to a decrease of $183,000, or 17.2%, in noninterest income and an increase of $301,000, or 13.4%, in noninterest expense. The decrease in noninterest income was due to a decrease in the gain on sale of loans as fewer residential mortgage loans were originated and sold to the secondary market. The increase in noninterest expense was due primarily to an increase in carrying costs and write downs on repossessed properties. Management has accepted offers on approximately $1 million of repossessed property that are scheduled to close in the third quarter of 2014 which resulted in the write downs described above.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2014
When comparing the six months ended June, 30, 2014 to the same period in 2013, net income decreased by $268,000, or 43.6%. Basic and diluted earnings per share decreased by $0.35, or 43.8%. The decrease in net income is due, primarily, to a decrease of $491,000, or 21.6%, in noninterest income which resulted, primarily, from fewer residential mortgage loans being originated and sold to the secondary market during 2014. Net interest income increased by $141,000, or 3.7%, and the provision for loan loss decreased by $55,000, or 14.7%.
In accordance with the Bank's internal classification of assets policy, management evaluates the loan portfolio on a quarterly basis to identify and determine the adequacy of the allowance for loan loss and adjusts the level of the allowance for loan loss through the provision for loan loss. As stated above, the provision for loan loss decreased by $50,000 for the first half of 2014 when compared to the same period in 2013. As of June 30, 2014 and 2013, the balance in the allowance for loan losses and the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans were $1,934,000 and $1,801,000 and 1.2% and 1.2%, respectively.
