DEFIANCE, Ohio, July 25, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --

  • Net Income of $4.8 million for 2011 second quarter, up from $2.1 million  in the second quarter of 2010
  • Provision for Loan Losses of $2.4 million, down from $5.4 million in the second quarter of 2010
  • Net Interest Margin of 3.86%, down from 2010 second quarter of 3.89%

First Defiance Financial Corp. (NASDAQ: FDEF) announced today that net income for its second quarter ended June 30, 2011 totaled $4.8 million, or $0.43 per diluted common share, compared to $2.1 million or $0.19 per diluted common share for the quarter ended June 30, 2010.

"The second quarter saw progress in several areas, even as we navigate through a tenuous economic operating environment," said William J. Small, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer of First Defiance Financial Corp. "We were pleased with the overall performance in the quarter, including improvement in the level of non-performing loans as well as the decline in credit related costs."

Credit Quality

The second quarter results include expense for provision for loan losses of $2.4 million, compared with $5.4 million for the same period in 2010 and $2.8 million in the first quarter of 2011.  

Non-performing loans totaled $40.8 million at June 30, 2011, a decrease of $4.8 million or 11% from $45.6 million at March 31, 2011, and basically flat with June 30, 2010. The June 30, 2011 balance included $34.5 million of loans that are on non-accrual and another $6.2 million of loans that are still accruing, but are considered non-performing because of changes in terms granted to borrowers. In addition, First Defiance had $7.4 million of real estate owned at June 30, 2011, a decrease of $1.8 million or 19% from $9.2 million at March 31, 2011 and down from  $12.7 million at June 30, 2010. For the second quarter of 2011, First Defiance recorded net charge-offs of $2.7 million, which when annualized, represented 0.75% of average loans outstanding at June 30, 2011, down from the first quarter level of 0.85%. The allowance for loan loss as a percentage of total loans increased slightly to 2.80% at June 30, 2011 from 2.70% at December 31, 2010 and 2.47% at June 30, 2010.

"We are encouraged with the trend in the net charge offs over the last several quarters," Small said. "The stabilization of the net charge offs, as well as improvements in overall credit quality, has led to lower provisions for loan loss than we have been experiencing. Our nonperforming assets and real estate owned balances are now lower than they were at the beginning of 2009, and we are focused on driving them even lower."  

Net Interest Margin down slightly from 2010 Second Quarter

Net interest income was $17.5 million in the second quarter of 2011 compared to $17.6 million in the 2010 second quarter.  Net interest margin was 3.86% for the 2011 second quarter compared to 3.89% in both the first quarter of 2011 and the second quarter of 2010. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities and non-interest-bearing demand deposits decreased by 51 basis points, to 1.00% from 1.51%, but this was offset by a decline in the yield on interest earning assets of 53 basis points, to 4.83% in the second  quarter of 2011 from 5.36% in the 2010 second quarter

"Despite the fact that we are seeing promising signs of economic recovery in our markets, the challenges on net interest margin are far from over," said Small. "The continued low rate environment adds to the challenge of increasing net interest margin."

Non-Interest Income

First Defiance's non-interest income for the 2011 second quarter was $6.8 million compared with $5.8 million in the second quarter of 2010. Service fees and other charges were $2.7 million in the second quarter of 2011, compared with $3.4 million in the second quarter of 2010. NSF income was $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2011, down $502,000 from the second quarter of 2010. Other non-interest income increased to $130,000 in the second quarter of 2011 from a loss of $223,000 for the same period of 2010.  This was the result of recording net gains of $38,000 on real estate owned sales in the second quarter of 2011 compared to net losses of $207,000 for the same period in 2010.  Mortgage banking income increased to $1.9 million in the second quarter of 2011 from $985,000 in the second quarter of 2010. Gains from the sale of mortgage loans decreased in the second quarter of 2011 to $1.1 million from $1.2 million in the second quarter of 2010. Mortgage loan servicing revenue increased to $832,000 in the 2011 second quarter from $754,000 in the second quarter of 2010.  

The second quarter saw reduced originations and also triggered recovery of previously recorded mortgage servicing rights ("MSR") impairment. First Defiance had a positive change in the valuation adjustment in mortgage servicing assets of $316,000 in the second quarter of 2011, compared with a negative valuation adjustment of $571,000 in the second quarter of 2010. The positive MSR valuation adjustment is a reflection of the increase in the fair value of certain sectors of the Company's portfolio of MSRs for these periods. The interest rate environment that gives rise to decreased mortgage origination activity also typically causes decreases in MSR amortization and impairment, creating a natural hedge in the mortgage banking line of business.  

Income from the sale of insurance and investment products increased to $1.4 million for the 2011 second quarter, from $1.3 million in the same period of 2010.

"We are pleased with the overall increase in non-interest income in 2011 compared to 2010," said Small. "We have been able to manage through the ongoing pressure on fee income by increasing other sources of non-interest income."

Non-Interest Expenses

Total non-interest expense was $15.1 million for the second quarter of 2011, relatively flat with the second quarter of 2010.

Compensation and benefits were $7.5 million, compared to $6.6 million in the second quarter of 2010 and $7.8 million in the first quarter of 2011. The year over year increase in compensation and benefits expense is largely due to the Company freezing pay in 2010, coupled with no bonuses being paid in the second quarter of 2010 because certain targets were not met. The Company increased compensation late in the first quarter of 2011 and accrued for bonus payments based on 2011 performance. FDIC insurance expense decreased to $677,000 in the second quarter of 2011 due to Dodd-Frank regulations from $929,000 in the same period of 2010. Other non-interest expense decreased to $3.2 million in the second quarter of 2011 from $3.8 million in the second quarter of 2010. Credit, collection and real estate owned costs were $956,000 in the second quarter of 2011 compared to $1.1 million in the same period of 2010.  

Year-To-Date Results

For the six month period ended June 30, 2011, net interest income totaled $34.7 million, compared with $34.6 million in the first six months of 2010. Average interest-earning assets increased to $1.844 billion for the first half of 2011, compared to $1.839 billion for the first half of 2010. Net interest margin for the first six months of 2011 was 3.89%, up 2 basis points from the 3.87% margin reported in the six month period ended June 30, 2010.

The provision for loan losses for the first half of 2011 was $5.2 million, compared to $12.3 million recorded during the first six months of 2010.

Non-interest income for the first half of 2011 was $12.8 million, compared to $12.6 million during the same period of 2010. Service fees and other charges were $5.4 million for the first half of 2011, compared to $6.6 million during the first half of 2010. Mortgage banking income increased to $3.2 million in the first half of 2011, compared with $2.8 million in the first half of 2010. Insurance and investment sales revenues increased to $3.1 million for the first half of 2011, compared with $2.4 million during the first half of 2010. Non-interest income for the first half of 2011 was reduced by $2,000 of other-than-temporary impairment charges recognized for impaired investment securities compared with $141,000 in the first half of 2010.

Non-interest expense increased to $31.7 million for the first six months of 2011 from $29.9 million in the first half of 2010. Occupancy costs were $3.6 million in the first half of 2011 compared with $3.5 million in the first half of 2010. Credit, collection and real estate owned costs have decreased $199,000 in the first six months of 2011 over the first six months of 2010.

"These continue to be very challenging times which are compounded by the financial debate taking place in Washington," said Small. "We are confident in our ability to meet the challenges, and we are keeping a watchful eye on the federal government initiatives that are coming down the road. Right now, we want to stay the course as much as possible and be prepared to react to any new legislation or regulations."

Total Assets at $2.05 Billion
