      ATLANTA, Jan. 17, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Fidelity Southern Corporation ("Fidelity" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:LION), holding company for Fidelity Bank (the "Bank"), reported net income of $25.3 million for the year ended 2012 compared to $11.4 million for the year ended 2011. For the quarter ended December 31, 2012, net income was $5.4 million compared to $8.2 million for the third quarter of 2012 and $3.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2011. After accounting for the preferred dividend, basic and diluted earnings per share for the year ended 2012 were $1.51 and $1.34, respectively, which compared to basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.62 and $0.56, respectively, for the year ended 2011. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the fourth quarter of 2012 were $0.31 and $0.28, respectively, compared to $0.50 and $0.44, respectively, for the third quarter of 2012 and $0.21 and $0.20, respectively, for the fourth quarter of 2011.

      Fidelity's Chairman, Jim Miller, said, "2012 was a record year with improvement in many areas. We experienced significant organic and M&A growth, and strong fee income in all lines of business. We also controlled expenses as a result of consolidations and the integration of our acquired banks. The year 2013 offers continued opportunities to grow, operate more efficiently, and improve our credit costs as the economy improves."

      (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. Covered loans have the protection against losses reimbursable by the FDIC whereas non-covered loans do not have that same protection.

      The increase in provision expense for the fourth quarter of 2012 compared to the third quarter of 2012 resulted primarily from provision needed to cover reduced appraisal values on certain collateral dependent loans during the period. During the fourth quarter of 2012, the Bank recorded a net impairment provision of $577,000 to reflect the continued decrease in expected cash flows of covered loans.

      Net charge-offs decreased $10.2 million for the year ended 2012 to $10.3 million compared to $20.5 million for the same period of 2011. For the year ended 2012, the ratio of net-charge offs to average loans outstanding was 0.60% compared to 1.38% for the same period of 2011. Non-covered provision expense decreased $8.4 million for the year ended 2012 to $11.9 million compared to $20.3 million for the same period of 2011 primarily as a result of decreased charge-offs.

      The allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2012 was $34.0 million, or 2.01% of total loans, compared to an allowance of $31.5 million, or 1.91% of total loans, at September 30, 2012, and $28.0 million, or 1.81% of total loans, at December 31, 2011. The increase is primarily the result of the acquired covered loans.

      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 decreased 9 basis points to 3.63% in the fourth quarter of 2012 compared to 3.72% in the fourth quarter of 2011 and decreased 11 basis points from 3.74% in the third quarter of 2012. Excluding covered loans and the accretion of the loan discount, the net interest margin was 3.56% for the fourth quarter of 2012 compared to 3.62% for the third quarter of 2012. The decrease in net interest margin from the third 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 fourth quarter of 2012 of $1.2 million, or 6.1%, when compared to the fourth quarter of 2011. Net interest income decreased $452,000, or 2.2%, when compared to the third quarter of 2012.

      Net interest margin increased 9 basis points to 3.77% for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to 3.68% for the same period in 2011. Excluding covered loans and the accretion of the loan discount, the net interest margin was 3.60% for the year ended December 31, 2012 and 3.68% for the same period in 2011. Net interest income for the year ended December 31, 2012 increased $9.6 million, or 13.5%, to $80.5 million compared to $70.9 million for the same period in 2011.

      INTEREST INCOME

      Total interest income for the fourth quarter of 2012 increased $62,000, or 0.3%, to $24.3 million compared to $24.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2011. Average interest-earning assets for the fourth quarter of 2012 increased $181.2 million, or 8.8%, somewhat offset by a 36 basis point decrease in the yield on average interest-earning assets due primarily to the Bank offering competitive rates on loans. In a linked-quarter comparison, interest income decreased $670,000 as the yield on average interest-earning assets decreased 16 basis points.

      For the year ended December 31, 2012 total interest income increased $3.9 million, or 4.1%, to $97.6 million compared to $93.7 million for the same period in 2011. Average interest-earning assets for the year ended December 31, 2012 increased $214.7 million, or 11.1%, and was somewhat offset by a 31 basis point decrease in the yield on average interest-earning assets as mentioned above. The FDIC-assisted acquisitions of Decatur First Bank and Security Exchange Bank, as previously announced, were accretive to the fourth quarter of 2012 interest income on an after-tax basis of $53,000, or a de minimis impact to diluted earnings per share. On a year-to-date basis, the acquisitions were accretive to interest income on an after-tax basis of $1.3 million, or $0.08 to diluted earnings per share.

      INTEREST EXPENSE

      Interest expense for the fourth quarter of 2012 decreased $1.1 million, or 22.3%, compared to the same period in 2011 due to a 30 basis point decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities somewhat offset by an increase in average interest-bearing liabilities of $118.5 million, or 6.8%. The Bank's shift in deposit mix toward noninterest-bearing accounts, which made up 18.5% of total deposits at December 31, 2012 compared to 14.4% at December 31, 2011, contributed to the reduction in the cost of funds. On a linked-quarter basis, interest expense decreased $219,000, or 5.1%.

      For the year ended December 31, 2012 interest expense decreased $5.7 million, or 24.9%, to $17.1 million compared to $22.8 million for the same period in 2011. The decrease in interest expense was attributable to a 43 basis point decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities somewhat offset by an increase in average interest-bearing liabilities of $148.0 million, or 8.9%.

      NONINTEREST INCOME

      On a year over year basis, noninterest income increased $10.5 million, or 67.0%, to $26.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2012, compared to $15.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2011. The increase in noninterest income was the result of a $10.6 million, or 132.2%, increase in mortgage banking activities over the respective periods. Income from mortgage banking activities increased due to a 143.6% increase in the December 31, 2012 pipeline to over $514 million compared to the same period a year ago. Total funded loan volume for the quarter of $768.4 million represented a 71.5% increase over the year ago quarter. Mortgage banking revenues for the fourth quarter 2012 were positively impacted due to recoveries of impaired servicing rights of $700,000, a net increase of $2.8 million compared to the third quarter of 2012.

      For the year ended December 31, 2012 noninterest income increased $36.5 million, or 71.0%, to $88.0 million compared to $51.4 million for same period in 2011. The increase is largely attributable to the increase in mortgage banking activities as discussed above. SBA loans decreased $3.5 million from 2011 to 2012 as result of a decrease in the gains on sale of SBA loans and servicing rights. Offsetting the decrease in SBA is the $4 million gain on acquisition for Security Exchange Bank, which was recorded in the third quarter of 2012.

      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 in noninterest income over the life of the contract with the FDIC. For the year ended 2012, indemnification income was $702,000. There was no indemnification income for the same period in 2011.

      NONINTEREST EXPENSE

      Noninterest expense for the fourth quarter of 2012 increased $9.0 million, or 38.1%, to $32.7 million compared to $23.6 million for the same period in 2011. The increase was driven by a $7.5 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 $1.3 million, or 4.2%. The increase was primarily due to a $2.3 million increase in salaries and employee benefits.

      For the year ended December 31, 2012 noninterest expense increased $30.0 million, or 35.1%, to $115.4 million compared to $85.4 million for the same period in 2011. The increase is largely attributable to an increase of $22.1 million in salaries and employee benefits, professional services related to acquisition and internet services of $2.6 million and other expenses of $2.7 million.
