B of I Holding, Inc. (B of I or the Company), (NASDAQ: BOFI),
parent of Bank of Internet USA (Bank), today announced unaudited
financial results for its fourth quarter and year ended June 30,
2008. Net income for the fourth quarter increased to $1,780,000, up
96.9% compared to the $904,000 earned in the fourth quarter of
fiscal 2007 and up 74.9% compared to its last quarter ended March
31, 2008. Diluted earnings per share for the fourth quarter of
fiscal 2008 were $0.20 per share, up 100% from the $0.10 per share
earned in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 and up 81.8% compared
to its last quarter.
For the seventh consecutive year, the Company increased its
annual earnings, reaching $4,196,000 for the year ended June 30,
2008, up 26.4% over the year ended June 30, 2007. Diluted earnings
per share for fiscal 2008 were $0.46 per share, up 27.8% from the
$0.36 per share earned for fiscal 2007.
Having completed his first fiscal year since his appointment as
Chief Executive Officer of B of I, Greg Garrabrants commented on B
of I's results, saying, "This year's record earnings are
particularly gratifying in light of the credit challenges
experienced by many in the financial sector. Our Bank is one of a
few banks with strong earnings growth, an expanding net interest
margin and real loan portfolio growth. We will continue to execute
on our core business model of accessing our deposit and loan
customers over the Internet, controlling costs and capitalizing on
opportunities in the mortgage markets. We will be well positioned
for continued growth and profitability when the credit crisis
subsides."
Fourth Quarter Highlights:
-- Net interest margin grew to 2.42% in the fourth quarter, up 74.1% over
the fourth quarter of 2007 and up 37.5% compared to last quarter.
-- Asset quality remains strong with total non-performing loans of 0.66%
of loan portfolio.
-- Tangible book value increased to $8.95 per share, up $0.76 compared to
the end of last year.
-- Total assets reached $1,194.2 million at June 30, 2008, up 26.1%
compared to the end of last year.
-- B of I has raised $4.8 million in a private offering of 8% convertible
preferred stock.
"Our team has raised $4.8 million of capital through the
issuance of 8% convertible preferred stock at a time when many
banks are completely shut out from the equity markets," said Mr.
Garrabrants. "I believe that our investors share management's
belief that, over the longer term, we have the right business model
for the underlying structural changes impacting our industry and,
in the intermediate term, the severe distress in the financial
services sector presents an opportunity for us to acquire loans and
securities at favorable prices."
Quarter Earnings Summary
During the quarter ended June 30, 2008, B of I earned $1,780,000
or $0.20 per diluted share compared to $904,000, or $0.10 per
diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2007. Net
interest income increased $4.0 million during the 2008 quarter
compared to the 2007 quarter and increased $2.3 million compared to
the last quarter ended March 2008. This quarter, more than half of
the increase in net interest income was attributable to an improved
net interest margin and the balance was the result of higher
average earning assets. The net interest margin increased to 2.42%,
up 103 basis points over the fourth quarter in 2007 and up 66 basis
points compared to the quarter ended in March 2008. To generate
higher net interest margin, the Bank sold $66.7 million of agency
mortgage-backed securities during the quarter and re-invested
proceeds in higher yielding mortgage loan pools and non-agency
mortgage-backed securities. The realized gain on the sale of the
agency mortgage-backed securities during the quarter was $404,000
pretax. For the fourth quarter of 2008, non-interest income was a
loss of $425,000 due to an unrealized loss of $1.0 million
associated with an other-than-temporary impairment of a preferred
stock investment in Fannie Mae. Additional Fannie Mae unrealized
loss may be required in future quarters. The Bank also elected to
increase its allowance for loan loss from 34 basis points at the
end of March 2008 to 43 basis points. The provision for loan loss
was $1,122,000 in the fourth quarter of 2008, $835,000 for the
quarter ended March 2008 and $80,000 for the fourth quarter of
2007. The increase in our loan loss provision this quarter was
primarily based upon the nationwide decline in consumer credit as a
result of significant uncertainty in our economy.
Non-interest expense, or operating costs for the fourth quarter
of 2008, was $2,464,000, 21.5% lower than the $3,138,000 in
operating costs for the quarter ended in March 2008 and higher than
the $1,656,000 in operating costs for the fourth quarter of 2007.
The decrease in operating expense in the fourth quarter compared to
the last quarter ended in March 2008 was primarily the result of
elimination of the one-time compensation amounts incurred last
quarter, lower advertising costs and lower regulatory fees. The
increase in operating expense in the fourth quarter of 2008
compared to the fourth quarter of 2007 was primarily the result of
increased salaries and benefits related to the formation of our
consumer lending group, higher professional fees and higher
standard regulatory fees.
Balance Sheet Summary
Total assets increased to $1,194.2 million, up 26.1% from total
assets of $947.2 million at June 30, 2007. The increase in total
assets was the result of purchases of single-family and multifamily
mortgage loans and the purchase of AAA non-agency mortgage-backed
securities. The asset growth since June 30, 2007 was funded by a
net increase in deposits totaling $22.8 million and an increase in
FHLB and repurchase borrowings of $211.7 million. For fiscal 2008,
stockholders' equity increased $10.3 million, primarily due to
earnings of $4.2 million, $3.8 million from the proceeds of our
convertible preferred stock offering, an unrealized gain of $1.9
million from marking-to-market our available for sale government
agency mortgage-backed securities and $0.4 million from stock-based
compensation, net of dividends.
