First Bancorp of Indiana, Inc. Announces Earnings

EVANSVILLE, IN , the holding company for First Federal Savings Bank, reported earnings of $248,000 for the second fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2007, compared to earnings of $228,000 for the same quarter in fiscal 2007. The 8.8 percent improvement in quarterly net earnings was attributed largely to fee income enhancements that offset a more compressed net interest margin. For the first six months of fiscal 2008, net income was $436,000, compared with $401,000 in the like period a year ago. The year-to-date comparative results reflect the October 1, 2006, acquisition of Home Building Bancorp, Inc. (HBBI).

Second quarter earnings represented 14 cents per average outstanding share (diluted) compared to 13 cents for the quarter ended December 31, 2006. For the first two quarters of the fiscal 2008, diluted earnings per share totaled 24 cents on 1.80 million average shares compared to 24 cents on 1.67 million shares during the same period the preceding year. The greater number of diluted shares in fiscal 2008 was attributed primarily to the 293,946 shares issued in conjunction with the HBBI acquisition.
