WOOSTER, Ohio, Jan. 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Wayne Savings Bancshares, Inc. (Nasdaq: WAYN), the holding company parent of Wayne Savings Community Bank, reported net income of $635,000, or $0.21 per diluted share for the third fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2009, compared to $584,000 or $0.20 per diluted share for the third fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2008. The increase in net income was due to increased net interest income resulting from decreased interest expense on deposits, partially offset by decreased interest income from loans and investments, and increased gains on the sale of residential mortgage loans and available for sale investment securities, further offset by an increase in the provision for loan losses and increased federal deposit insurance expense.
Net interest income increased $322,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2009, compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2008. Interest income decreased $419,000 during the 2009 quarter mainly as a result of lower overall market interest rates during the 2009 quarter compared to the 2008 quarter and the corresponding impact on new originations and existing adjustable rate loans. Interest expense decreased $741,000 during the quarter as a result of lower deposit balances and lower market interest rates being reflected in rates paid on certificates of deposit, money market deposit accounts and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati, partially offset by a higher volume of borrowings used to replace decreased deposit balances.
Noninterest income increased $163,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008, due primarily to gains on the sale of available for sale securities and residential mortgage loans and an increase in trust and other service charge income. Noninterest expense increased by $86,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008, mainly due to an increase in federal deposit insurance premiums. The increase in federal deposit insurance premiums was due to an increase in the deposit insurance premium rate schedule and the absence of deposit insurance credits in the 2009 quarter that reduced costs for the 2008 quarter.
A provision for loan losses of $570,000 was made for the 2009 quarter compared to $185,000 provided for the 2008 quarter, based on management's assessment of probable incurred losses in the portfolio. The increase was mainly due to management's analysis of economic factors in the Company's market area and the negative change in those factors from the 2008 quarter to the 2009 quarter.
At December 31, 2009, nonperforming assets totaled $5.7 million, or 1.41% of total assets, compared to $2.8 million, or 0.68% of total assets at December 31, 2008. The increase in nonperforming assets was mainly due to one commercial real estate loan with an outstanding balance of $2.7 million that was performing at December 31, 2008 but not performing at December 31, 2009. This loan is in the workout process. Management has performed an impairment analysis and made an appropriate valuation provision.
For the nine month period ended December 31, 2009, net income totaled $1,819,000 or $0.62 per diluted share, compared to net income of $1,716,000 or $0.59 per diluted share for the nine month period ended December 31, 2008.
Net interest income increased $1,009,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2008. Interest income decreased $1,066,000 for the 2009 nine month period compared to the same period in 2008, as a result of lower overall market interest rates during the 2009 period compared to the 2008 period and the corresponding impact on new originations and existing adjustable rate loans. Interest expense decreased $2,075,000 compared to the prior year period as a result of decreased balances and rates paid on certificates of deposit, money market deposit accounts and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati, partially offset by a higher volume of borrowings used to replace decreased deposit balances.
Noninterest income increased $287,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008, primarily due to gains on sale of residential mortgage loans and available for sale securities. Noninterest expense increased by $495,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008, mainly due to increased federal deposit insurance premiums and compensation expense, partially offset by reduced occupancy, equipment and other operating expense. The $544,000 increase in federal deposit insurance premiums was due to an increase in the deposit insurance premium rate schedule, a special assessment imposed by the FDIC on all insured institutions and the absence of deposit insurance credits in the 2009 period that reduced costs for the 2008 period.
A provision for loan losses of $1,115,000 was made for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 compared to $346,000 provided during the nine months ended December 2008, based on management's assessment of probable incurred losses in the portfolio. The increase was mainly due to management's analysis of economic factors in the Company's market area and the negative change in those factors from the 2008 period to the 2009 period.
At December 31, 2009, Wayne Savings Bancshares, Inc. reported total assets of $403.3 million, down from total assets of $404.4 million at March 31, 2009. The decrease in assets was primarily due to decreases in loans and investment securities, partially offset by increases in cash and cash equivalents and prepaid assets. The prepaid asset increase was due to the FDIC prepaid assessment collected from all insured institutions on December 30, 2009. Deposits at December 31, 2009 were $309.0 million, a decrease of $500,000, or 0.16%, from $309.5 million at March 31, 2009. The decrease in deposits was primarily due to management's continuing decision to not compete aggressively with high rate retail CDs offered by competitors in the Company's market area. Borrowed funds at a cost lower than retail deposit rates were used to partially offset the decrease in deposits. The composition of deposits has shifted from certificates of deposit to demand, savings and money market deposits, as customers choose more liquid types of deposits given the low level of market interest rates.
Stockholders' equity at December 31, 2009 amounted to $36.6 million, or 9.08% of total assets, compared to $34.4 million, or 8.51% of total assets, at March 31, 2009. The increase of $2.2 million is mainly due to an increase in accumulated other comprehensive income to reflect an increase in the value of available for sale securities and an increase in retained earnings due to the addition of net income and reduced dividend payments.
Established in 1899, Wayne Savings Community Bank, the wholly owned subsidiary of Wayne Savings Bancshares, Inc., has eleven full-service banking locations in the communities of Wooster, Ashland, Millersburg, Rittman, Lodi, North Canton, and Creston, Ohio.
