LEXINGTON, N.C., Jan. 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- LSB Bancshares,
Inc. (NASDAQ:LXBK), parent company of Lexington State Bank,
reported net income in the fourth quarter of 2005 of $2,475,000, or
$0.29 per diluted share, compared to $2,214,000, or $0.26 per
diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2004. The improvement in
earnings was primarily due to higher net interest income and
noninterest income, combined with modest growth in noninterest
expense. Net interest income increased 10% to $11,089,000 in the
fourth quarter of 2005 from $10,083,000 in the year-ago period, and
benefited from an improvement in the net interest margin as well as
growth in earning assets. The provision for loan losses was
$905,000 in 2005's fourth quarter, up from $621,000 in the fourth
quarter of 2004. Noninterest income was $3,651,000 in 2005's fourth
quarter, an increase of 11% from $3,278,000 in the year-ago period,
while noninterest expense increased 7% to $10,112,000 from
$9,461,000 over the same period. For the twelve months ended
December 31, 2005, net income was $9,637,000, or $1.12 per diluted
share, compared to $8,380,000, or $0.97 per diluted share, in 2004.
Net interest income increased 12% to $43,699,000 in the twelve
months ended December 31, 2005 from the year-ago period.
Noninterest income for the full year 2005 declined approximately 2%
from the level in the year-ago period, although the year-ago figure
included a $292,000 nonrecurring gain on the sale of real estate.
Excluding that gain, noninterest income would have been essentially
unchanged in 2005 relative to the figure in 2004. Noninterest
expense in 2005 was up 6%, while the provision for loan losses
increased to $3,219,000 in 2005 from $3,017,000 in 2004. The Bank
achieved year-over-year balance sheet growth in most key areas,
with that growth being led by the increase in deposits. As of
December 31, 2005, total assets were approximately $976 million, up
7% from the year-ago level, while deposits increased 14% to $822
million. Net loans were $747 million, an increase of 6% from the
year-ago level. Nonperforming assets, including nonaccruing loans,
accruing loans more than 90 days past due, restructured loans and
other real estate owned, totaled $8.1 million at December 31, 2005,
down from $8.5 million at September 30, 2005 but up from $4.1
million at the year-ago date. Included in the $8.1 million was $4.4
million in other real estate owned, most of which related to the
previously disclosed acquisition, by means of deed-in-lieu of
foreclosure, of coastal property by the Bank during the second
quarter of 2005. The reserve for loan losses at the end of 2005 was
$8.4 million, or 1.12% of loans, versus $8.0 million, or 1.12% of
gross loans, at the end of 2004. Shareholders' equity totaled $91.8
million, and represented an equity-to-assets ratio of 9.4%. "We
concluded 2005 with a good deal of positive momentum," said LSB
Bancshares Chairman, President and CEO Robert F. Lowe. "Earnings
improved and our balance sheet continued to expand, with
particularly gratifying growth in deposits. At the same time, asset
quality began to improve at the end of 2005 relative to the level
at the end of the third quarter of 2005. Fundamentally, the Bank
remains soundly capitalized and is well positioned to have another
successful year in 2006." LSB Bancshares recently declared a
quarterly cash dividend of $0.17 per share of common stock, payable
on January 15, 2006, to shareholders of record on January 1, 2006.
This represents an increase of 6% compared to the same period one
year ago. LSB The Bank is one of the largest community banks in
