BROADWAY FINANCIAL CORPORATION (Registrant) Date: May 1, 2003 /s/ Alvin D. Kang ------------------------------------------ (Signature) Name: Alvin D. Kang Chief Financial Officer News Release FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Paul C. Hudson, President/CEO Alvin D. Kang, CFO (323) 634-1700 www.broadwayfed.com Broadway Financial Corporation Reports 12% Increase in Net Earnings LOS ANGELES, CA (BUSINESS WIRE) April 29, 2003 Broadway Financial Corporation (the Company) (NASDAQ Small-Cap: BYFC), the holding company of Broadway Federal Bank, f.s.b. (the Bank), today reported net earnings of $364,000 or $0.18 per diluted share for the three months ended March 31, 2003, compared to $326,000 or $0.17 per diluted share for the three months ended March 31, 2002, an 11.66% increase. Net Earnings The increase in net earnings was primarily attributable to the increase in net interest income and non-interest income, offset by an increase in non-interest expense. Net interest income after provision for loan losses increased $71,000 or 3.58% for first quarter 2003 compared to first quarter 2002. Non-interest income increased $53,000 or 22.46% for first quarter 2003 compared to first quarter 2002, and non-interest expense increased $83,000 or 4.98% for first quarter 2003 compared to first quarter 2002. Net Interest Income Net interest income after provision for loan losses increased to $2,055,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2003, from $1,984,000 for the same period in 2002. A rate/volume analysis indicates that the $71,000 increase was primarily attributable to the impact of the growth in average interest-earning assets of $28.2 million, or 16.42%, and interest-bearing liabilities of $33.8 million, or 21.9%, which resulted in an increase in net interest income of $251,000 (volume impact), offset by the impact of a decrease in the net interest rate spread of 32 basis points, which resulted in a decrease in net interest income of $180,000 (rate impact). Gross loan originations were $7.7 million for first quarter 2003 compared to $5.0 million for first quarter 2002. Loan and mortgage-backed securities (MBS) purchases were $16.0 million for first quarter 2003 compared to none for first quarter 2002. Loan prepayments amounted to $8.8 million for first quarter 2003 compared to $7.1 million for first quarter 2002. Management anticipates that prepayments will continue at a comparable rate in this current low rate environment, and is focused on increasing lending volume and continuing purchases of loans and MBSs. Interest-bearing liabilities increased due to the growth in deposits of $16.3 million and the growth in FHLB advances of $15.7 million comparing March 31, 2003 and 2002 balances. The net interest rate spread for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 was 3.99% and 4.31%, respectively. The 32 basis point decrease in spread was attributable to the larger decline in the weighted average yield on the loan portfolio, compared to the decline in the weighted average cost of funds on interest-bearing liabilities. The yield on interest-earning assets declined 125 basis points to 6.10% for first quarter 2003 from 7.35% for first quarter 2002. The weighted average cost of funds declined to 2.11% for first quarter 2003 compared to 3.04% for first quarter 2002. The primary spread (weighted average interest rate on loans minus weighted average interest rate on deposits) at March 31, 2003 was 4.92% compared to 4.72% at March 31, 2002. 1 Non-interest Income Total non-interest income increased to $289,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2003, from $236,000 for the same period in 2002. The $53,000 increase was primarily attributable to an increase in service charges. Non-interest Expense Total non-interest expense increased to $1,749,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2003 from $1,666,000 for the same period in 2002. The $83,000 increase was primarily attributable to higher professional services costs (legal and investment banking fees) of $82,000. Loans Receivable, Net Loans receivable, net increased $16.1 million, or 11.49%, to $156.2 million at March 31, 2003 from $140.1 million at December 31, 2002. Loans held for sale of $3.2 million at March 31, 2003 were reclassified to the held to maturity portfolio at cost, which was lower than market value. During February 2003, the Bank purchased $14.2 million of adjustable rate mortgage loans having an initial fixed rate period, hybrid ARMs. This purchase of hybrid ARMs, along with loan originations offset the combined negative effect of a decline in the yield on the loan portfolio and the continuing high level of loan prepayments. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was 0.90% at March 31, 2003 compared to 0.98% at December 31, 2002 and 1.12% at March 31, 2002. The Banks non-performing assets to total assets ratio improved to 0.04 % at March 31, 2003 compared to 0.07% at December 31, 2002 and 0.19% at March 31, 2002. At March 31, 2003, the Bank had no loans in foreclosure or REO (real estate owned) properties. Deposits Total deposits increased $13.4 million, or 8.58% to $169.5 million from $156.1 million at December 31, 2002. Core deposits (NOW, demand, money market, and passbook accounts) increased by $7.9 million during the first quarter of 2003. At March 31, 2003 core deposits represented 42.3% of total deposits, compared to 40.4% at December 31, 2002, and 39.8% at March 31, 2002. Performance Ratios For the three months ended March 31, 2003 the Companys return on average equity declined slightly to 8.60% compared to 8.73% for the same period in 2002. During the first quarter of 2003, the Company contributed $1 million to the Bank, which was raised from its issuance of preferred stock to Fannie Mae. The return on average assets also declined slightly to 0.70% for the three months ended March 31, 2003 compared to 0.73% for the same period in 2002. The ratio of non-interest expense to average assets improved to 3.36% for the three months ended March 31, 2003 compared to 3.72% for the same period in 2002. The efficiency ratio also improved to 74.62% in first quarter 2003 compared to 75.05% in first quarter 2002. 2 Significant Events On January 17, 2003 the Company entered into an unsecured $5.0 million revolving line of credit agreement with First Federal Bank of California. Interest is at the prime rate, if the loan proceeds are used for CRA lending, and at prime plus one percent if the loan proceeds are used for any other purpose. The line of credit is renewable annually, and at the Companys option, may be converted to a four-year term loan at the same rate of interest. On January 31, 2003 the Companys Board of Directors adopted a Shareholder Rights Plan, the Rights Plan. The Boards purpose in adopting the Rights Plan is to protect shareholder value in the event of an unsolicited offer to acquire the Company, particularly one that does not provide equitable treatment to all shareholders. Adoption of the Rights Plan is intended to encourage a potential acquirer of the Company to negotiate directly with the Board. In connection with the adoption of the Rights Plan, the Board declared a dividend distribution of one Right for each outstanding common share held by shareholders of record on February 13, 2003.
