First Savings Financial Group, Inc. Reports Financial Results for the First Fiscal Quarter Ended December 31, 2021

JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind., Jan. 25, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- First Savings Financial Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: FSFG - news) (the "Company"), the holding company for First Savings Bank (the "Bank"), today reported net income of $4.3 million, or $0.60 per diluted share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 compared to net income of $9.9 million, or $1.39 per diluted share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2020.

Commenting on the Company's performance, Larry W. Myers, President and CEO, stated: "We had a very strong quarter of loan growth, recognized a stable net interest margin excluding PPP loans, realized improved asset quality ratios, executed our first sale of single-tenant net lease loans, and continued to stabilize the financial performance of the mortgage banking segment while positioning it for growth in calendar 2022. The core banking segment provided solid performance while the SBA lending segment underperformed due to an increase in provision for loan losses related to downgrades of nonperforming loans, which is oftentimes challenging to predict. I'm optimistic that the Company is well-positioned for the opportunities and challenges that will occur during 2022 and that each of the business lines will thrive and deliver exceptional value to our shareholders."

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2021 and 2020

Net interest income increased $164,000, or 1.2%, to $13.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020. The increase in net interest income was due to a $428,000 decrease in interest expense, partially offset by a $264,000 decrease in interest income. Interest income decreased due to a decrease in the average balance of interest-earning assets of $99.3 million, from $1.63 billion for 2020 to $1.53 billion for 2021, partially offset by an increase in the weighted-average tax-equivalent yield, from 4.03% for 2020 to 4.22% for 2021. The decrease in the average balance of interest-earning assets was due primarily to a decrease in PPP loans of $128.1 million and the increase in the weighted-average tax-equivalent yield is due primarily to an increase in the yield on PPP loans from 2.42% for 2020 to 4.65% for 2021. The increase in the yield on PPP loans was due to accelerated recognition of deferred PPP loan fees related to forgiveness payoffs during the quarter ended December 31, 2021. Interest expense decreased due to a decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities, from 0.70% for 2020 to 0.62% for 2021, and a decrease in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities of $113.0 million, from $1.31 billion for 2020 to $1.20 billion for 2021. The decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities for 2021 was due primarily to decreasing market interest rates on deposits, including brokered certificates of deposit, and FHLB borrowings.

The Company recognized a provision for loan losses of $526,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2021 compared to a provision of $668,000 for the same period in 2020. Nonperforming loans, which consist of nonaccrual loans and loans over 90 days past due and still accruing interest, decreased $2.7 million from $15.5 million at September 30, 2021 to $12.7 million at December 31, 2021. The Company recognized net charge-offs of $47,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2021, compared to net charge-offs of $570,000 for the same period in 2020, of which $506,000 was related to unguaranteed portions of SBA loans.

Noninterest income decreased $29.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020. The decrease was due primarily to a decrease in mortgage banking income of $30.5 million. The decrease in mortgage banking income was primarily due to a $38.1 million decrease in production revenue from lower originations for sale, a decrease in the gain on sale margin, from 3.50% in 2020 to 2.08% in 2021, and an $8.4 million decrease in capitalized residential mortgage loan servicing rights, partially offset by a $675,000 increase in the fair value of the residential mortgage loan servicing rights portfolio in 2021 as compared to a $3.1 million unfavorable fair value adjustment recognized in 2020. Mortgage loans originated for sale were $541.1 million in the three months ended December 31, 2021 as compared to $1.43 billion in the same period in 2020.

Noninterest expense decreased $19.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020. The decrease was due primarily to decreases in compensation and benefits and advertising expense of $16.6 million and $1.5 million, respectively. The decrease in compensation and benefits expense is due primarily to a reduction in incentive compensation for the Company's mortgage banking segment as a result of decreased mortgage banking income. The decrease in advertising expense was related to the reduced loan origination volume of the mortgage banking segment.

The Company recognized income tax expense of $811,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2021 compared to $4.5 million for the same period in 2020. The decrease was primarily the result of lower pretax income in 2021. The effective tax rate for 2021 was 15.9% as compared to 30.5% for 2020. The lower effective tax rate for 2021 was primarily due to lower nondeductible executive compensation expense in 2021 as compared to 2020.

Comparison of Financial Condition at December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2021

Total assets increased $43.2 million, from $1.72 billion at September 30, 2021 to $1.76 billion at December 31, 2021. Net loans held for investment increased $66.7 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2021, due primarily to growth in single-tenant net lease commercial real estate and residential mortgage loans, partially offset by a $10.6 million decrease in PPP loans. Excluding the decrease in PPP loans, net loans held for investment increased $77.3 million, or 7.2%, during the quarter ended December 31, 2021. Residential mortgage and single-tenant net lease loans held for sale decreased $47.2 million and $7.4 million, respectively, during the quarter due to loan sales outpacing originations. Residential mortgage loan servicing rights increased $5.2 million, or 10.5%, to $54.8 million at December 31, 2021 as the Company continues to increase its loan servicing portfolio.

Total liabilities increased $39.4 million due primarily to an increase of $39.5 million in total deposits.

Common stockholders' equity increased $3.8 million, from $180.4 million at September 30, 2021 to $184.2 million at December 31, 2021, due primarily to an increase in retained net income of $3.4 million. At December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2021, the Bank was considered "well-capitalized" under applicable regulatory capital guidelines.
