ST. LOUIS--(Business Wire)--
Pulaski Financial Corp. (Nasdaq Global Select: PULB), the holding
company ("the Company") for Pulaski Bank ("the Bank"), today announced
net income for the second fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2008 of $2.5
million, or $0.25 per diluted share, compared with earnings of $2.2
million, or $0.21 per diluted share, for the same quarter last year.
For the six months ended March 31, 2008, earnings were $5.3 million,
or $0.52 per diluted share, compared with earnings of $0.46 per
diluted share for the same period a year ago.
Other Financial & Operating Results
Net interest income rose $1.9 million (or 27%) to $8.9 million for
the March quarter compared to the same period a year ago. For the
six-month period, net interest income increased $3.2 million (or
22.9%) to $17.1 million. Results were driven by continued strong
growth in the average balance of loans receivable, which increased
$186.6 million (or 22%) to $1.042 billion during the quarter compared
to the same period a year ago. For the six-month period, the average
balance of loans receivable $183.4 million to $1.018 billion. Loans
retained grew 9% to $1.035 billion over the first six months of the
fiscal year.
The net interest margin remained constant at 3.03% for the three
months ended March 31, 2008, compared to 3.02% for the linked quarter
ended December 31, 2007 and 2.95% for the comparable quarter a year
ago. The Company's balance sheet is in a neutral interest rate
sensitive position, with roughly two thirds of both assets and
liabilities set to pay off or re-price within one year.
The net interest margin remained stable during this period of
rapid growth due to corresponding strong growth in core deposits
(non-interest and interest bearing checking, money market and passbook
accounts), which increased $66.5 million (or 21%) over the first six
months of the year. Growth in core deposits was driven primarily by
increased commercial balances, which are up $50.9 million
year-to-date. As of March 31, 2008, the Company had $33.9 million in
deposit balances at its new Clayton and Downtown St. Louis branches,
well ahead of pro forma projections. Given these more favorable than
expected results, the Company no longer expects these new branches to
dilute earnings for the remainder of the year. The average yield of
interest earning assets declined 64 basis points on a linked quarter
basis from 7.14% in December to 6.50% in March. The average cost of
interest bearing liabilities declined slightly faster, by 75 basis
points on a linked quarter basis from 4.49% in December to 3.74% in
March.
Mortgage revenues rose 49.8% to $2.1 million for the quarter just
ended due to higher loan sales and lower fixed costs in the mortgage
division. Loans sold increased 30.8% to $402.3 million during the
quarter. Loan volumes increased due to favorable interest rates
combined with decreased loan competition from mortgage brokers and
other lenders who have failed or reduced activities in current market
conditions.
Retail banking revenue increased 24%, or $177,000, to $932,000
during the quarter, driven primarily by growth in retail checking
account deposits, particularly at the newest bank locations.
Results for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 included $263,000
from a gain on sale of securities, compared with no gains from that
source in the comparable quarter for the prior year. Year-to-date
results included $317,000 in such gains compared to $144,000 over the
first six months last year.
Net charge-offs for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 increased to
$1.8 million, or 0.63% of average loans outstanding on an annualized
basis, compared with $302,000 (or 0.12% of average loans outstanding
on an annualized basis) for the linked December 2007 quarter, as
losses on second mortgages and home equity loans accelerated due to
continued property value declines in the St. Louis and Kansas City
metropolitan areas. The provision for loan losses was increased to
$1.7 million for the quarter just ended, compared with a provision of
$573,000 for the comparable period last year. Management is actively
reserving and charging-off non-performing second mortgage and home
equity loans and believes that the loan portfolio has been adequately
reserved for anticipated losses.
Asset quality remains sound, despite a rise in non-performing
assets from $13.6 million (or 1.20% of total assets) as of September
30, 2007 to $19.8 million (or 1.57% of total assets) as of March 31,
2008. The Company's largest non-performing asset as of December 31,
2007, was a $2.2 million "other real estate owned" commercial
property, which was acquired through foreclosure in January 2008 and
on which the Company is currently working through lease issues with
its existing tenant.
Additional data on these and other measures is available in the
exhibits attached to this release.
Executive & Board Changes
In addition to these financial results, Board Chairman Lee S.
Wielansky announced today that William A. Donius, President and Chief
Executive Officer, is resigning, effective May 1, 2008. Wielansky
commented, "The entire Board joins me in congratulating Bill for his
incredible accomplishments in transforming Pulaski from a $160 million
thrift into a top-performing, $1.3 billion in assets publicly-traded
community bank. In addition to the results Bill has delivered for
shareholders, he has been and remains an active participant in and
generous contributor to numerous community and charitable
organizations across the St. Louis region, setting the personal
example of how a true community bank should engage with other
organizations, customers and neighbors to make our region work."
Donius will continue to serve as both a consultant to and a director
of the Holding Company and has agreed to serve as Chairman of the
Bank's Board.
Donius said, "I am very proud of the incredible team and
corresponding results we accomplished over the past 16 years at the
bank and my past ten as CEO. We were voted Best Place to Work in St.
Louis and just learned we have been voted one of the Best Community
Banks in St. Louis by Small Business Monthly. I am honored to have
followed both my father, Walter Donius, and grandfather, Michael
Burdzy, who built the bank over the 70 years before me. During my
tenure, our capital grew 10-fold, our total assets 8-fold and our
branch footprint from four locations to twelve while driving
shareholder returns of more than 500% since our initial public
offering in December 1998, while building one of the fastest growing
banks in St. Louis in residential lending and commercial and retail
banking. I look forward to continuing to serve Pulaski in my new
roles."
Wielansky said, "The Board has focused on bringing about an
orderly transition that builds on what the Donius family has
delivered. I am proud to announce that Gary W. Douglass will succeed
Donius as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Holding
Company, effective May 1. 2008. Douglass will also be appointed to the
Boards of Directors of the Holding Company and of the Bank."
Douglass most recently served as Executive Vice President, Finance
and Chief Financial Officer of CPI Corp. (NYSE: CPY), a leading
portrait studio operator in North America, headquartered in St. Louis.
Douglass also previously held the position of Executive Vice President
and Chief Financial Officer of Roosevelt Financial Group, Inc., which
had been the $9 billion bank holding company parent of Roosevelt Bank,
headquartered in St. Louis, before its merger with Mercantile
Bancorporation, Inc. in 1997. Douglass is a certified public
accountant and a former partner with Deloitte, where he headed that
firm's financial institutions practice in St. Louis.
In commenting on Douglass' appointment, Wielansky said, "The Board
is thrilled to welcome someone of Gary's caliber to lead the Holding
Company and the Bank. With a 25-year successful track record in the
financial industry and his most recent role with a public company, we
know that Gary has the experience, leadership, judgment and vision to
take Pulaski to the next level and to generate even greater returns
for our shareholders."
Douglass commented, "I am honored that the Pulaski Financial Board
has selected me to build on the excellent foundation that it has
established. I look forward to working with the Board and management
team to continue to successfully implement strategies to grow our
balance sheet, maintain strong asset quality and emphasize
non-interest income sources to most fully serve both customers and
shareholders."
Chairman Wielansky also announced that Stanley J. Bradshaw will
replace him as Chairman of the Board of the Holding Company, effective
May 1, 2008. Wielansky will retain an active role in oversight as the
Vice Chairman of the Holding Company Board at that time. Bradshaw has
an extensive background in banking, having served as Chairman,
President and Chief Executive Officer of Roosevelt Financial Group and
Roosevelt Bank. During Bradshaw's tenure as CEO of Roosevelt from 1991
to 1997, Roosevelt's assets quadrupled while the value of its stock
grew 18-fold. Bradshaw has been an advisor to Pulaski since 1999, and
a member of its Holding Company Board since 2006, in addition to
serving as the Chairman of the Board of an investment company he
launched in late December 1998. He is also the founding Chairman of
the Board of Square 1 Financial, the holding company of Square 1 Bank,
a $1 billion nationwide bank serving emerging growth companies in the
areas of technology and the life sciences.
In accepting the Chairman's position, Bradshaw stated, "I am
humbled to have been asked to serve. Having worked with Pulaski's
Board since 1999, I join my colleagues in being proud of the many
successes the Bank has achieved during that time and I know that the
Bank is blessed with many talented bankers, a great market position
and a strong balance sheet. I am very confident of the additional
successes that will be achieved in the future. I'm pleased that Bill
Donius has agreed to continue to help build the Bank in his new roles.
And I'm comforted by the fact that Pulaski's team will be led on a
daily basis by Gary Douglass, an accomplished professional with
exacting standards for performance, and someone with whom I am quite
familiar from our prior shared experience. Gary will bring new
perspectives regarding creation of shareholder value while also
creating an environment in which the mortgage, retail and commercial
divisions of the Bank will continue to thrive."
Bradshaw continued, "The Company and its shareholders owe many
thanks to Lee Wielansky, the first non-executive Chairman of the
Company, whose leadership has been outstanding, a continuation of his
many other contributions to Pulaski's success as a director who has
helped build our commercial franchise and helped form our extremely
valuable advisory boards."
Outlook
Commenting on the Company's expectations regarding the balance of
the year, Chairman Wielansky closed by saying, "We are very encouraged
by emerging results so far this year and we are cautiously optimistic
that these trends will continue. We will be recording a one-time after
tax charge of approximately $960,000, or $0.09 per share, during the
third quarter to reflect the Company's payments to Donius under his
employment agreement, which will dampen otherwise expected third
quarter results. But, we believe that the Bank's strong underlying
performance bodes well for overall earnings results in quarters to
come."
Conference Call Monday Morning
Pulaski Financial management will discuss second quarter results
and other developments on Monday, April 14, during a conference call
beginning at 10:30 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time (9:30 a.m. Central
Daylight Time). The call also will be simultaneously web cast and

time. The call also will be available for replay for three months at
