Broadway Financial Corporation Reports Third Quarter Net Earnings
LOS ANGELES, CA - (BUSINESS WIRE) - October 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
$379,000 and $1,099,000 or $0.19 and $0.55 per diluted share for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2003, compared to $440,000 and $1,088,000, or
$0.24 and $0.59 per diluted share, respectively, for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2002. Compared to 2002, third quarter net earnings decreased
13.86% and net earnings for the nine months increased 1.01%.
President Paul C. Hudson stated, "The last two months have been encouraging as
our loan origination volume has increased, and we have had net loan growth in
spite of continuing heavy loan prepayments. Our pipeline of loans in process is
also growing, which bodes well for the next quarter". Hudson explained, "We
expected net earnings for the current quarter to be less than last year due to
the effective tax rate in third quarter 2002 being 7% lower than the current
quarter. In 2002, we benefited from a higher California Enterprise Zone tax
incentive that reduced California taxable income."
Net Earnings
The change in net earnings, comparing 2003 to 2002, was primarily attributable
to the increase in net interest income and non-interest income, offset by an
increase in non-interest expense. Additionally, the effective tax rate was lower
in 2002 as a result of higher interest income exclusions relating to loans made
in California Enterprise Zones. Net interest income after provision for loan
losses increased $39,000 and $201,000 or 1.95% and 3.36%, respectively, for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 compared to the same periods in
2002. Non-interest income increased $133,000 and $267,000 or 59.38% and 41.98%,
respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 compared to
the same periods in 2002. Non-interest expense increased $200,000 and $405,000,
or 12.55% and 8.25%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September
30, 2003 compared to the same periods in 2002.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income after provision for loan losses increased to $2,037,000 and
$6,189,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, from
$1,998,000 and $5,988,000 for the same periods in 2002. A nine month rate/volume
analysis indicates that the $201,000 increase was primarily attributable to the
impact of the growth in average interest-earning assets of $32.9 million or
19.02%, and interest-bearing liabilities of $30.8 million or 18.85%, which
resulted in an increase in net interest income of $1,080,000 (volume impact),
offset by the impact of a decrease in the net interest rate spread of 57 basis
points, which resulted in a decrease in net interest income of $879,000 (rate
impact).
1
Loan originations were $18.8 million and $37.8 million for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2003 compared to $7.0 million and $20.4 million for
the same periods in 2002. Loan purchases were $3.8 million and $17.8 million for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, compared to $820,000 and
$820,000 for the same periods in 2002. Mortgage-backed securities ("MBS")
purchases were $3.4 million and $15.4 million for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2003 compared to 5.0 million and $9.0 million for the same
periods in 2002. Loan prepayments amounted to $12.9 million and $36.0 million
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 compared to $6.8 million
and $21.8 million for the same periods in 2002. In the current low interest rate
environment, prepayments are not expected to abate until interest rates rise
significantly, and therefore management is focused on increasing loan volume
through originations and purchases. Loans receivable, net grew $20.5 million
since December 31, 2002, and reflects the improvements made by Management in the
Bank's loan product offerings as well as in its efficiency in service to new
loan customers.
Interest-bearing liabilities increased $2.7 million during the third quarter.
This was attributable to the net effect of an increase in deposits of $3.8
million and a decrease in FHLB advances of $1.1 million. For the nine months
ended September 30, 2003, interest-bearing liabilities increased $13.5 million,
comprised of an $11.1 million increase in deposits and $2.4 million increase in
FHLB advances.
The net interest rate spread for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2003 was 3.78% and 3.90% respectively, compared to 4.39% and 4.47%,
respectively, for the same periods in 2002. The 61 and 57 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 120 and 128 basis points to 5.65% and 5.87%, respectively, for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 from 6.85% and 7.15%,
respectively, for the same periods in 2002. The weighted average cost of funds
declined to 1.88% and 1.97%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2003 compared to 2.46% and 2.68% for the same periods in 2002. The
primary spread (weighted average interest rate on loans minus weighted average
interest rate on deposits) at September 30, 2003 was 4.62% compared to 4.76% at
September 30, 2002, a decline of 14 basis points.
Non-interest Income
Total non-interest income increased to $357,000 and $903,000 for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2003, from $224,000 and $636,000 for the same
periods in 2002. The $133,000 increase in the third quarter from 2002 to 2003
was primarily attributable to an increase in loan fees and service charges, and
net gains on sale of investments and MBS available for sale.
Non-interest Expense
Total non-interest expense increased to $1,793,000 and $5,313,000 for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2003 from $1,593,000 and 4,908,000 for the
same periods in 2002. The $200,000 increase in the third quarter from 2002 to
2003 was primarily attributable to increases in compensation and benefits costs
and occupancy expenses.

Loans Receivable, Net
Loans receivable, net increased $20.5 million or 14.6% to $160.6 million at
September 30, 2003 from $140.1 million at December 31, 2002. During the nine
months ended September 30, 2003, the Bank purchased $17.8 million of adjustable
rate mortgage loans having an initial fixed rate period ("hybrid ARMs"). These
purchases 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 0.87% at
September 30, 2003 compared to 0.98% at December 31, 2002 and 1.10% at September
30, 2002. The Bank's non-performing assets to total assets ratio improved to
0.04% at September 30, 2003 compared to 0.07% at December 31, 2002 and 0.18% at
September 30, 2002. At September 30, 2003, the Bank had no loans in foreclosure
or REO (real estate owned) properties.
Deposits
Total deposits increased $11.1 million or 7.11% to $167.2 million from $156.1
million at December 31, 2002. Core deposits (NOW, demand, money market, and
passbook accounts) increased by $1.2 million during the third quarter of 2003.
At September 30, 2003 core deposits represented 44.6% of total deposits,
compared to 40.4% at December 31, 2002, and 39.4% at September 30, 2002.
Management has focused on increasing core deposit customers and closely managing
its cost of deposits. Management expects deposit growth to be the primary source
of funds for loan growth and plans to aggressively market deposit products to
targeted customers.
Performance Ratios
For the three months ended September 30, 2003 the Company's return on average
equity declined to 8.49% compared to 11.39% for the same period in 2002. The
return on average assets also declined to 0.69% for the three months ended
September 30, 2003 compared to 0.95% for the same period in 2002. The ratio of
non-interest expense to average assets improved to 3.28% for the three months
ended September 30, 2003 compared to 3.46% for the same period in 2002. The
efficiency ratio increased to 74.90% in third quarter 2003 compared to 71.69% in
third quarter 2002.
