Essa Bancorp Inc. Reports Unaudited Consolidated Earnings Results for Fourth Quarter and Full Year Ended September 30, 2009

Essa Bancorp Inc. reported unaudited consolidated earnings results for fourth quarter and full year ended September 30, 2009. For the quarter, the company reported net income of $1.4 million, or $0.11 per basic and diluted share as compared to net income of $760,000, or $0.05 per basic and diluted share, for the corresponding period of 2008. The increase in net income of $688,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009, as compared to the corresponding 2008 period was due primarily to increases in net interest income of $370,000 and total non-interest income of $789,000, partially offset by an increase in total non-interest expense of $519,000. Net interest income increased $370,000, or 5.3%, to $7.3 million from $7.0 million for the comparable period in 2008. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the company's interest rate spread to 2.42% for the three months ended September 30, 2009, from 2.23% for the comparable period in 2008, offset in part by a decrease in the company's average net earning assets of $19.5 million. Total interest income was $13.0 million against $13.2 million last year. Net interest income after provision for loan losses were $7.0 million against $6.5 million last year. Income before income taxes was $2.2 million against $1.5 million last year. For the year ended September 30, 2009, the company reported net income of $6.6 million, or $0.47 per basic and diluted share, as compared to net income of $6.1 million or $0.39 per basic share and $0.38 per diluted share for the corresponding period of 2008. The increase in net income of $479,000 for the year ended September 30, 2009, as compared to the 2008 fiscal year was due primarily to increases in net interest income of $2.6 million and total non-interest income of $925,000, partially offset by increases in the provision for loan losses of $600,000 and total non-interest expense of $2.9 million. Net interest income increased $2.6 million, or 9.7%, to $29.0 million for the year ended September 30, 2009, from $26.4 million for the 2008 fiscal year. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the company's interest rate spread to 2.40% for the year ended September 30, 2009, from 2.09% for the comparable period in 2008, offset in part by a decrease in the company's average net earning assets of $19.5 million. Total interest income was $52.7 million against $52.0 million last year. Net interest income after provision for loan losses were $27.5 million against $25.5 million last year. Income before income taxes was $9.1 million against $9.1 million last year.
