CLEVELAND, May 6, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TFS Financial Corporation (Nasdaq:TFSL) (the "Company"), the holding company for Third Federal Savings and Loan Association of Cleveland, today announced results for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2009.
The Company reported net income of $5.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to net income of $14.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. Net income of $17.2 million was reported for the six months ended March 31, 2009, compared to net income of $33.6 million for the six months ended March 31, 2008. This decrease is attributable mainly to increases in both the provision for loan losses and non-interest expenses, offset by increases in both net interest income and non-interest income in the current quarter.
Net interest income increased $6.9 million, or 13%, to $60.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 from $53.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The increase in net interest income resulted from a decrease in the interest received on interest-earning assets, offset by a larger decrease in interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities. The interest rate spread increased 44 basis points to 1.77% for the three months ended March 31, 2009 from 1.33% for the three months ended March 31, 2008. Net interest income increased $9.5 million, or 9%, to $115.5 million for the six months ended March 31, 2009 from $106.0 million for the six months ended March 31, 2008.
The Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $28.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to $4.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The provisions exceeded net charge-offs of $17.1 million and $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The provision for loan losses was $38.0 million for the six months ended March 31, 2009 compared to $7.5 million for the six months ended March 31, 2008. The provisions exceeded net charge-offs of $22.1 million and $4.5 million for the six months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Of the $22.1 million of net charge-offs for the six months ended March 31, 2009, $17.9 million occurred in the equity loans and lines of credit portfolio. As expected under the expanded loan level evaluations which began June 30, 2008, of equity lines of credit delinquent 90 days or more, net charge-offs related to that portfolio have increased as those delinquencies are resolved. The allowance for loan losses was $59.7 million, or 0.64% of total loans receivable at March 31, 2009, compared to $43.8 million, or 0.47% of total loans receivable at September 30, 2008, and further compared to $28.1 million or 0.33% of total loans receivable at March 31, 2008. Nonperforming loans increased by $48.2 million to $221.1 million, or 2.37% of total loans, at March 31, 2009 from $172.9 million, or 1.86% of total loans, at September 30, 2008, and, further, non-performing loans increased by $84.7 million at March 31, 2009, compared to $136.4 million, or 1.59% of total loans, at March 31, 2008. Of the $48.2 million increase in non-performing loans for the six months ended March 31, 2009, $25.9 million occurred in the residential, non-Home Today portfolio and $12.1 million occurred in the equity loans and lines of credit portfolio. As of March 31, 2009, the equity loans and lines of credit portfolio was $2.91 billion, compared to $2.49 billion, at September 30, 2008.
Non-interest income increased $6.3 million, or 58%, to $17.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 from $10.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The increase primarily resulted from an increase of $15.1 million in net gain on the sale of loans, offset by a $6.6 million mortgage servicing assets impairment and a $2.2 million increase in the amortization expense of the carrying value of our mortgage loan servicing assets. Historically low mortgage loan interest rates have brought about increased refinancing activity resulting in accelerated mortgage loan paydowns, which increases the amount of amortization and expected future prepayment speeds, which reduce the valuation. The increase in net gain on the sale of loans is attributable to $890.0 million of loan sales for the three months ended March 31, 2009, as compared to $250.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. Lower and declining interest rates generally result in higher gains on sales of loans. Loan sales are used as a means of managing interest rate risk.
Non-interest expense increased $4.7 million, or 13%, to $40.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 from $36.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The increase primarily resulted from a $3.1 million increase in federal insurance premiums, due to increased federal deposit insurance assessment rates, and to a lesser extent, increased deposit balances. Non-interest expense increased $10.8 million, or 15%, to $81.0 million for the six months ended March 31, 2009 from $70.1 million for the six months ended March 31, 2008.
Total assets decreased by $141.6 million, or 1%, to $10.64 billion at March 31, 2009 from $10.79 billion at September 30, 2008. This change consisted primarily in a decrease in cash and cash equivalents combined with a decrease in investment securities.
Cash and cash equivalents decreased $33.8 million, or 26%, to $98.6 million at March 31, 2009 from $132.4 million at September 30, 2008, and investment securities decreased $106.9 million, or 13%, to $742.0 million at March 31, 2009 from $848.9 million at September 30, 2008, as liquid assets were used to fund loan products, pay down borrowings and repurchase common stock.
Deposits increased $118.2 million, or 1%, to $8.38 billion at March 31, 2009 from $8.26 billion at September 30, 2008. The increase in deposits was the result of a $279.6 million increase in certificates of deposit offset by $77.6 million and $85.2 million decreases in high yield checking and savings accounts (other savings accounts and other NOW accounts), respectively, for the six-month period ended March 31, 2009.
Borrowed funds decreased $337.9 million, or 68%, to $160.1 million at March 31, 2009 from $498.0 million at September 30, 2008, mainly through the success of deposit gathering and the use of cash flows from maturing investments and loan sales.
Shareholders' equity decreased $70.9 million, to $1.77 billion at March 31, 2009 from $1.84 billion at September 30, 2008. This reflects $17.2 million of net income during the six-month period reduced by $9.3 million in dividends paid on our shares of common stock (other than the shares held by Third Federal Savings, MHC and unallocated ESOP shares) and $85.8 million of repurchases of outstanding common stock during the six-month period. The remainder of the change reflects adjustments related to the allocation of shares of our common stock related to awards under the stock-based compensation plans and the ESOP. Approximately 2.2 million shares were repurchased during the three months ended March 31, 2009, in completing the Company's third repurchase program. A fourth repurchase program of up to 3.3 million additional shares was approved by the board of directors on March 12, 2009. No shares had been repurchased under this fourth program as of March 31, 2009.
