      ATLANTA, Oct. 18, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Fidelity Southern Corporation ("Fidelity" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:LION), holding company for Fidelity Bank (the "Bank"), reported net income of $8.2 million for the third quarter of 2012 compared to $6.4 million for the second quarter of 2012 and $2.1 million for the third quarter of 2011. After accounting for the preferred dividend, basic and diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of 2012 were $0.51 and $0.45, respectively, which compared to basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.39 and $0.35 in the second quarter of 2012 and $0.09 and $0.08 in the third quarter of 2011, respectively. Net income for the first nine months of 2012 was $19.9 million compared to $7.6 million for the same period in 2011. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the first nine months of 2012 were $1.21 and $1.08, respectively, compared to $0.40 and $0.36, respectively, for 2011.

      Fidelity's Chairman, Jim Miller, said, "The efforts of our 780 employees are reflected in the Company's strong results in the quarter and year. Return on Average Equity is 15.22% year to date while core operating earnings show steady, solid improvements. While we benefited from mortgage income and FDIC assisted transaction gains, we continue to expand our footprint and the controls necessary for us to meet strong demand for credit in all our southern markets which remain in transition as the realignment in banking is ongoing."

      (1) The calculation of core operating earnings is a non-GAAP measure. We show core operating earnings which remove the effect of income taxes, provision for loan losses, cost of operation of ORE, security gains, acquisition gain and indemnification asset accretion because we believe that helps show a view of more normalized net revenues. The measure allows better comparability with prior periods, as well as with peers in the industry who also provide a similar presentation.

      ASSET QUALITY

      The majority of loans and other real estate acquired in the FDIC-assisted transactions are covered under 80% loss sharing agreements with the FDIC, which are classified as covered loans. Loans that do not fall into the covered loan category are considered to be non-covered. Covered loans have the protection against losses reimbursable by the FDIC whereas non-covered loans do not have that same protection.

      The following table provides a comparison of the activity affecting the allowance for loan loss:

      The increase in provision expense for the third quarter 2012 compared to the second quarter 2012 resulted primarily from provision needed to cover reduced appraisal values on certain collateral and as charge-offs for classified covered loans increased during the period. During the third quarter of 2012, the Bank recorded a net impairment provision of $1.0 million to reflect the continued decrease in expected cash flows of covered loans.

      Net charge-offs decreased $7.0 million for the first nine months of 2012 to $6.7 million compared to $13.7 million for the same period of 2011. For the first nine months of 2012, the ratio of net-charge offs to average loans outstanding was 0.52% compared to 1.26% for the same period of 2011. Non-covered provision expense decreased $7.8 million for the first nine months of 2012 to $7.2 million compared to $15.0 million for the same period of 2011 primarily as a result of charge-offs for classified construction borrowers and properties transferred to ORE following foreclosure.

      The allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2012 was $31.5 million, or 1.91% of total loans, compared to an allowance of $27.2 million, or 1.65% of total loans, at June 30, 2012, and $29.4 million, or 1.96% of total loans, at September 30, 2011.

      The following table presents certain credit quality metrics of the Bank's loan portfolio, inclusive and exclusive of covered loans. Nonperforming assets include nonaccrual loans, net repossessions and other real estate ("ORE"). Classified assets include loans having a risk rating of substandard or worse, both accrual and nonaccrual, net repossessions and other real estate.

      NET INTEREST MARGIN

      Net interest margin increased 19 basis points to 3.74% in the third quarter of 2012 compared to 3.55% in the third quarter of 2011 and decreased 12 basis points from 3.86% in the second quarter of 2012. Excluding covered loans and the accretion of the loan discount, the net interest margin was 3.56% for the third quarter of 2012 compared to 3.68% for the second quarter of 2012. The decrease in net interest margin from the second quarter 2012 was the result of higher yielding assets running off as replacement assets were originated in a lower interest rate environment. Offsetting the lower yields on assets was the high volume of loan originations which resulted in an increase in net interest income for the third quarter of 2012 of $3.1 million, or 17.9%, when compared to the third quarter of 2011 and of $790,000, or 4.0%, when compared to the second quarter of 2012.

      Net interest margin increased 17 basis points to 3.82% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to 3.65% for the same period in 2011. Excluding covered loans and the accretion of the loan discount, the net interest margin was 3.62% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 3.65% for the same period in 2011. Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 increased $8.4 million, or 16.2%, to $60.2 million compared to $51.8 million for the same period in 2011.

      INTEREST INCOME

      Total interest income for the third quarter of 2012 increased $1.9 million, or 8.3%, to $24.9 million compared to $23.0 million for the third quarter of 2011. Average interest-earning assets for the third quarter of 2012 increased $241.5 million, or 12.3%, somewhat offset by a 13 basis point decrease in the yield on average interest-earning assets due primarily to the Bank offering competitive rates on loans and deposits. The impact of the acquisitions increased loan interest income by $2.0 million for the third quarter of 2012 when compared to the same period in 2011. In a linked-quarter comparison, interest income increased $843,000 primarily due to an increase in loans held-for-sale income as the yield on average interest-earning assets decreased 15 basis points.

      For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 total interest income increased $3.8 million, or 5.5%, to $73.3 million compared to $69.5 million for the same period in 2011. Average interest-earning assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 increased $217.1 million, or 11.4%, and was somewhat offset by a 25 basis point decrease in the yield on average interest-earning assets as mentioned above. The impact of the acquisitions increased interest income by $6.0 million which is offset by decreases of $1.1 million in both investment securities interest income and interest income from indirect loans, respectively, when compared to the same period in 2011.

      The FDIC-assisted acquisitions of Decatur First Bank and Security Exchange Bank, as previously announced, were accretive to the third quarter 2012 interest income on an after-tax basis of $333,000, or $0.02 to diluted earnings per share. On a year-to-date basis, the acquisitions were accretive to interest income on an after-tax basis of $1.2 million, or $0.08 to diluted earnings per share.

      INTEREST EXPENSE

      Interest expense for the third quarter of 2012 decreased $1.2 million, or 22.2%, compared to the same period in 2011 due to a 38 basis point decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities somewhat offset by an increase in average interest-bearing liabilities of $210.7 million, or 12.6%. The Bank's shift in deposit mix toward noninterest-bearing accounts, which made up 17.7% of total deposits at September 30, 2012 compared to 14.0% at September 30, 2011, contributed to the reduction in the cost of funds. The impact of the acquisitions increased interest expense by $507,000 for the third quarter 2012 when compared to the same period in 2011. On a linked-quarter basis, interest expense increased $53,000, or 1.3%.

      For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 interest expense decreased $4.6 million, or 26.0%, to $13.1 million compared to $17.7 million for the same period in 2011. The decrease in interest expense was attributable to a 48 basis point decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities somewhat offset by an increase in average interest-bearing liabilities of $158.0 million, or 9.7%. The impact of the acquisitions increased interest expense by $1.1 million when compared to the same period in 2011.

      NONINTEREST INCOME

      On a year over year basis, noninterest income increased $17.1 million, or 171.0%, to $27.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2012, compared to $10.0 million in the third quarter of 2011. The increase in noninterest income was the result of a $9.6 million, or 184.5%, increase in mortgage banking activities and an increase in SBA lending of $1.3 million over the respective periods. The increase also includes the $4.0 million gain on acquisition of Security Exchange Bank. Income from mortgage banking activities increased due to a 91% increase in the September 30, 2012 pipeline to over $572 million. Total funded loan volume for the quarter of $617.5 million represented a 78% increase over the year ago quarter slightly offset by a $2.1 million mortgage servicing rights impairment recognized in the current quarter.

      For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 noninterest income increased $26.0 million, or 72.6%, to $61.8 million compared to $35.8 million for same period in 2011. The increase is largely attributable to the increase in mortgage banking activities as discussed above. The impact of the acquisitions increased noninterest income by $4.5 million for the comparative periods, largely attributable to the gain on acquisition previously announced.

      The FDIC indemnification asset is originally recorded based on a discounted amount expected to be received from the FDIC for their share of losses on covered loans. The original difference between the full amount and the discounted amount is expected to be recorded as indemnification income over the life of the contract with the FDIC. For the first nine months of 2012, indemnification income was $551,000. There was no indemnification income for the same period in 2011.

      NONINTEREST EXPENSE

      Noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2012 increased $10.9 million, or 53.4%, to $31.3 million compared to $20.4 million for the same period in 2011. The increase was driven by a $6.9 million increase in salaries and employee benefits expense due to higher commission expense related to the increased mortgage banking volume, expansion of our mortgage banking footprint, as well as increased number of employees due to organic growth and acquisitions. On a linked-quarter basis, noninterest expense increased $5.3 million, or 20.4%. The increase was primarily due to a $3.3 million increase in salaries and employee benefits.

      For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 noninterest expense increased $20.9 million, or 33.8%, to $82.7 million compared to $61.8 million for the same period in 2011. The increase is largely attributable to an increase of $14.6 million in salaries and employee benefits.
