William Penn Bancorp, Inc. Announces Third Quarter Earnings

LEVITTOWN, Pa., May 21, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- William Penn Bancorp, Inc. (OTCBB: WMPN) announced net income of $687,000 ($0.19 per basic and diluted share) for the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to $725,000 ($0.20 per basic and diluted share) for the same period last year. Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $2,184,000, representing a decrease of $161,000 as compared to net interest income of $2,345,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012.  This decrease was mainly attributable to a decrease in interest income by $248,000 to $3,262,000 at March 31, 2013 from $3,510,000 at March 31, 2012.  This was partially offset by an $87,000 decrease in interest expense. William Penn Bancorp, Inc. had assets of $315.8 million at March 31, 2013 as compared to $316.5 million at June 30, 2012.

Net income for nine months ended March 31, 2013 was $2,096,000 ($0.58 per basic and diluted share) as compared to $2,031,000 ($0.57 per basic and diluted share) for the same period ending March 31, 2012. Net interest income declined by $396,000 from $7,040,000 for nine months ended March 31, 2012 to $6,644,000 for the same period ending March 31, 2013. The increase in net income is primarily due to a decrease in provision for loan loss by $180,000 for the nine month period and a decrease in non-interest expenses to $3,663,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 from $3,811,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2012. This reduction is attributable to a $132,000 write down of the value of a property held in Real Estate Owned during the nine months ended March 31, 2012.

A dividend of $0.20 per share was declared in July of 2012 and paid to shareholders in August of 2012 compared to a $0.15 per share dividend for the same period last year.
