      ATLANTA, July 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Fidelity Southern Corporation ("Fidelity" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: LION), holding company for Fidelity Bank (the "Bank"), reported net income of $9.4 million for the second quarter of 2013 compared to $6.5 million for the first quarter of 2013 and $6.4 million for the second quarter of 2012. After accounting for the preferred dividend, basic and diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2013 were $0.53 and $0.47, respectively, compared to basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.38 and $0.33 in the first quarter of 2013 and $0.38 and $0.34 in the second quarter of 2012, respectively. Net income for the first six months of 2013 was $15.9 million compared to $11.7 million for the same period in 2012. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the first six months of 2013 were $0.91 and $0.81, respectively, compared to $0.69 and $0.62, respectively, for 2012.

      Fidelity's Chairman, Jim Miller, said, "Our management of our balance sheet has continued to be very effective. The redemption of "TARP" preferred stock and $20 million of TRUPS will annually save $5.5 million after tax. The much chronicled slow-down in mortgage originations has not yet occurred here and we continue to expand the number of our offices. However, this is a weak and fragile economy and there is not much growth in new business loans. Rather we are continuing to take market share. The consumer areas of home building, mortgage and indirect automobile lending are robust and that is an advantage for us. Though our growth is modest, over the last 40 years it has worked for us."

      (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.

      BALANCE SHEET & CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

      Total assets for the quarter were $2.675 billion, an increase of $143.0 million, or 5.6%, compared to the first quarter of 2013 largely attributable to the public offering of common stock discussed in the Capital section. Other assets and liabilities increased 48.5% and 69.9%, respectively, compared to the first quarter of 2013 primarily as a result of the mark to market valuation for mortgage loans held-for-sale.

      The decrease in provision expense for the second quarter of 2013 compared to the first quarter of 2013 was primarily due to a reduction in charge-offs and improved credit quality indicators.

      Net charge-offs decreased $1.9 million for the second quarter of 2013 to $1.7 million compared to $3.7 million for the first quarter of 2013 and decreased $1.3 million compared to the second quarter of 2012. Non-covered provision expense decreased $3.0 million for the second quarter of 2013 to $500,000 compared to $3.5 million for the first quarter of 2013 primarily as a result of improvement in the credit quality of the loan portfolio, and decreased $450,000 from the second quarter of 2012.

      The allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2013 was $33.3 million, or 1.96% of total loans, compared to an allowance of $33.9 million, or 1.95% of total loans, at March 31, 2013, and $27.2 million, or 1.65% of total loans, at June 30, 2012.

      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.

      ORE, net of reserves, increased $1.9 million to $40.9 million at June 30, 2013, compared to $39.0 million at March 31, 2013 primarily due to foreclosure activity during the quarter on non-covered loans. During the second quarter of 2013, $8.1 million of ORE assets were sold while $10.5 million were added to ORE. Excluding covered assets, ORE sales were $5.6 million and additions were $9.8 million for the quarter.

      Nonperforming loans and classified assets have continued to decline due in part to loans moving to ORE as well as improved credit factors.

      On June 10, 2013, the Company closed its $60.0 million public offering of common stock at $12.00 per share, and on June 18, 2013, the Company announced that the additional 750,000 shares allotted to the underwriters of the offering were exercised for an additional $9.0 million in capital.

      By December 31, 2013, the Company intends to use the net proceeds from this offering, together with its cash on hand as necessary, to: (i) redeem the $48.2 million in shares of its Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A, originally issued to the U.S. Department of the Treasury under the Troubled Asset Relief Program Capital Purchase Program; and (ii) redeem two series of its trust preferred securities with an aggregate outstanding principal amount of $20.5 million.

      Final BASEL III rules were released in early July for all Banks. We are evaluating the final rules to determine how they will impact our capital in future periods.

      Deposits

      Total deposits of $2.155 billion at June 30, 2013 have increased from $1.987 billion as of June 30, 2012, due primarily to the Bank's continued efforts to aggressively pursue core deposits. Total deposits, at June 30, 2013, increased $85.3 million from December 31, 2012 due to a $30.3 million increase in brokered deposits as a means of increasing liquidity together with a $38.3 million increase in core deposits.

      NET INTEREST MARGIN

      Net interest margin in the second quarter of 2013 was 3.42%, a 44 basis point decrease from the same quarter a year ago and a 35 basis point decrease from the first quarter of 2013. Excluding covered loans and the accretion of the loan discount, the net interest margin was 3.31% for the second quarter of 2013 compared to 3.50% for the first quarter of 2013. The decrease in net interest margin is the result of the Bank's continuous offering of competitive rates on loans and deposits.

      Net interest margin decreased 27 basis points to 3.59% for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to 3.86% for the same period in 2012. Excluding covered loans and the accretion of the loan discount, the net interest margin was 3.39% for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 3.66% for the same period in 2012. Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2013 increased $1.7 million, or 4.2%, to $41.2 million compared to $39.6 million for the same period in 2012.

      INTEREST INCOME

      Total interest income for the second quarter of 2013 decreased $221,000, or 0.9%, to $23.9 million compared to $24.1 million for the second quarter of 2012. In a linked-quarter comparison, interest income decreased $1.1 million largely attributable to a reduction in accretable yield of $571,000 for the comparative periods due to cash flow revaluations for acquired loans.

      For the six months ended June 30, 2013 total interest income increased $400,000, or 0.8%, to $48.8 million compared to $48.4 million for the same period in 2012.

      INTEREST EXPENSE

      Interest expense for the second quarter of 2013 decreased $454,000, or 10.8%, compared to the same period in 2012 due to a reduction of $415,000 in subordinated debt expense for the second quarter of 2013 due to one of the Company's notes being converted from a fixed rate of 6.62% to a lower floating rate as of September 30, 2012. Also contributing to the decrease is a 19 basis point decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities somewhat offset by an increase in average interest-bearing liabilities of $185.9 million, or 10.6%. The Bank's shift in deposit mix toward noninterest-bearing accounts, which made up 20.1% of total deposits at June 30, 2013 compared to 17.4% at June 30, 2012, contributed to the reduction in the cost of funds. On a linked-quarter basis, interest expense decreased $160,000, or 4.1% largely attributable to increased liquidity resulting from Indirect loan sales for the quarter.

      For the six months ended June 30, 2013 interest expense decreased $1.2 million, or 13.2%, to $7.6 million compared to $8.8 million for the same period in 2012. The decrease is primarily the result of a reduction in time deposit expenses of $800,000 for the comparative periods. Also contributing to the decline in interest expense is a 20 basis point decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities somewhat offset by an increase in average interest-bearing liabilities of $162.6 million, or 9.3%.

      NONINTEREST INCOME

      For the quarter ended June 30, 2013, noninterest income increased $11.2 million, or 65.8%, to $28.2 million compared to $17.0 million in the second quarter of 2012. The increase is the result of a $9.3 million, or 86.0%, increase in mortgage banking activities over the respective periods. The June 30, 2013, pipeline increased 38% to over $627 million compared to $465 million a year ago. Total funded loan volume for the quarter of $787.7 million represented a 69.7% increase compared to the same period a year ago. The current quarter mortgage banking income includes a $1.6 million mortgage servicing rights (MSR) impairment recovery compared to a $1.6 million recovery for the first quarter of 2013 and an impairment of $2.0 million for the second quarter of 2012. MSR capitalization for the current quarter totaled $7.5 million compared to $6.2 million for the first quarter of 2013 and $3.8 million for the second quarter of 2012.

      For the six months ended June 30, 2013 noninterest income increased $18.6 million, or 53.6%, to $53.3 million compared to $34.7 million for same period in 2012. The increase is largely attributable to the increase in mortgage banking activities as discussed above.

      Real Estate Mortgage Lending

      With the recent upward shift in long term interest rates we do anticipate that this will probably reduce our refinance volume from the levels we have seen in the first half of 2013. However, a significant portion of the mortgage production is from purchase mortgage business, sourced primarily through our retail lending network, which we do not believe will be significantly impacted by the recent rise in long-term interest rates. In addition, from the same time a year ago we have expanded our mortgage branch network with five new production branches and our mortgage production team has increased by 30%. Our marketing focus on purchase business and organic growth will help to partially offset any impact of the anticipated fall off of refinance production.

      We do not believe that the recent finalizing of the revised FDIC capital requirements for community banks will have any impact on our loan origination volume going forward. We have been retaining the servicing on loans originated and sold for FNMA and FHLMC over that past four years. We are evaluating the impact of the capital rules related to mortgage servicing assets (MSAs) to determine the most prudent asset strategy related to the phase in of the new capital rules.

      NONINTEREST EXPENSE

      Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2013 increased $7.1 million, or 27.2%, to $33.2 million compared to $26.1 million for the same period in 2012. 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.

      For the six months ended June 30, 2013 noninterest expense increased $14.3 million, or 27.7%, to $65.7 million compared to $51.4 million for the same period in 2012. The increase is largely attributable to an increase of $12.8 million in salaries and employee benefits.
