LEXINGTON, N.C., Oct. 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- LSB Bancshares,
Inc. (NASDAQ:LXBK), parent company of Lexington State Bank,
reported net income in the third quarter of 2006 of $2,375,000, or
$0.28 per diluted share, compared to $2,500,000, or $0.29 per
diluted share, in the third quarter of 2005. The decrease in
earnings was primarily due to lower net interest income, which
declined 4% to $10,792,000 in the third quarter of 2006 from
$11,206,000 in the year-ago period. The weakness in net interest
income primarily emanated from a lower net interest margin, as
competitive pressures have significantly increased funding costs
for the Bank over the past year. The provision for loan losses was
$565,000 in 2006's third quarter, down 21% from $715,000 in the
third quarter of 2005. Noninterest income increased 5% to
$3,567,000 in 2006's third quarter versus $3,398,000 in the
year-ago quarter, while noninterest expense increased 1% to
$10,200,000 in the third quarter of 2006 from $10,087,000 in the
third quarter of 2005. For the nine months ended September 30,
2006, net income was $5,662,000, or $0.66 per diluted share,
compared to $7,162,000, or $0.83 per diluted share, in the first
nine months of 2005. Net interest income was essentially unchanged
at $32,698,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2006, versus
$32,610,000 for the year-ago period, while noninterest income for
the first nine months of the year increased approximately 2% over
this period. Noninterest expense was up 8%, and the provision for
loan losses increased 12% relative to the respective year-ago
level. As of September 30, 2006, total assets were approximately
$992 million, net loans were $752 million and deposits were $815
million. All three were essentially unchanged from levels at
September 30, 2005. Shareholders' equity at the end of 2006's third
quarter totaled $91.9 million, up from $91.5 million at the
year-ago date, and represented an equity-to-assets ratio of 9.3%.
Nonperforming assets, including nonaccruing loans, accruing loans
more than 90 days past due, restructured loans and other real
estate owned, were $8.7 million at September 30, 2006, versus $8.5
million at the year-ago date. Included in the $8.7 million was $3.7
million in other real estate owned, $2.0 million 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 2006's
third quarter was $8,461,000 or 1.11% of loans. Commenting on the
results, LSB Bancshares Chairman, President and CEO Robert F. Lowe
stated, "Competitive pressures on funding and pockets of economic
weakness in several of our markets has squeezed our margins and
restrained balance sheet growth. To combat the negative impact of
these factors on earnings, we have worked diligently to hold down
costs, as evidenced by the modest increase of 1% in the third
quarter's noninterest expense relative to the previous year's third
quarter level. Our efforts also remain focused on improving asset
quality. While nonperforming assets were up at September 30, 2006
relative to the year-ago level, they did improve relative to the
level at the end of 2006's second quarter." LSB Bancshares recently
declared a quarterly dividend of $0.17 per share, payable on
October 15, 2006 to shareholders of record on October 1, 2006. This
level is unchanged from the level at the year-ago date. LSB
