CARVER BANCORP, INC. REPORTS FISCAL YEAR 2015 AND FOURTH QUARTER RESULTS
New York, New York, June 29, 2015 Carver Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ: CARV), the holding company for Carver Federal Savings Bank (“Carver” or the “Bank”), today announced financial results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended March 31, 2015 (“Fiscal 2015”).
The Company reported net loss of $126 thousand, or basic and diluted loss per share of $0.03, for the fourth quarter of its fiscal year ended March 31, 2015, compared to a net loss of $769 thousand, or basic and diluted loss per share of $0.21, for the quarter ended March 31, 2014. For the year ended March 31, 2015, the Company reported net income of $364 thousand, or basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.10, compared to a net loss of $836 thousand, or basic and diluted loss per share of $0.23, for the comparative prior year period.
Michael T. Pugh, the Company's President and CEO said: “We are cautiously optimistic by our continued financial progress as we report a profitable fiscal year in spite of a fourth quarter loss. The fourth quarter loss primarily reflects continued interest rate compression and slower than anticipated loan growth. Looking ahead, we remain focused on growing our loan portfolio, maintaining strong capital ratios, improving asset quality, and increasing core deposits. Our new business efforts generated an 11% increase in loans during the quarter and 24% growth fiscal year-to-date. This positions us well for the eventual return of customary margins. Carver’s capital ratios remain strong, with our Tier 1 capital ratio increasing to 10.85%, and our non-performing loan ratios are near industry norms. We grew our core deposits by $19 million in the fiscal year, representing a 7% increase. These deposits remain a critical source of low-cost funding for profitable and meaningful lending in the communities we serve.”
“With an enhanced banking platform in place, our new business team is focused on providing solutions to small business customers, including the growing segment of women and minority business entrepreneurs throughout the communities we serve. In fact, we recently partnered with the New York State Small Business Development Center on a two-day seminar to strengthen the skill-sets of small businesses, middle-managers, and aspiring entrepreneurs in the local community.”
Mr. Pugh concluded, "As we move into fiscal year 2016, we remain disciplined and committed to core earnings for the Company."
Statement of Operations Highlights
Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2015 Results
The Company reported net loss of $126 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2015, compared to a net loss of $769 thousand for the prior year period. The primary drivers of this change are recoveries in the loan loss provision and lower non-interest expenses, partially offset by lower non-interest income in the current period.

For the twelve months ended March 31, 2015, the Company reported net income of $364 thousand, compared to a net loss of $836 thousand for the prior year period. The change was driven by recoveries of loan losses and lower non-interest expenses, partially offset by lower net interest income and non-interest income in the current fiscal year.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income increased $21 thousand, or 0.4%, to $4.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, compared to $4.7 million for the prior year period as lower funding costs offset lower interest income on loans. Net interest income decreased $912 thousand, or 4.7%, to $18.4 million for the twelve months ended March 31, 2015, compared to $19.3 million for the prior year period. This change was driven primarily by lower yields on loans.
Interest income remained relatively unchanged at $5.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, decreasing $19 thousand, or 0.3%, from the prior year quarter. For the twelve months ended March 31, 2015, interest income decreased $921 thousand, or 4.0%, to $22.3 million compared to $23.2 million for the prior year period. Although the average balance of loans increased for both comparative periods, the average yield on loans decreased, driven by a higher concentration of one-to-four family loans and a lower mix of commercial real estate loans. Interest income on mortgage-backed securities decreased $235 thousand for the fiscal year following a $13.0 million, or 26.0%, decrease in the average balances of mortgage-backed securities from the prior year, as low interest rates fueled prepayments. The average yield on mortgage-backed securities increased 9 basis points from 2.07% to 2.16% for the twelve months ended March 31, 2015.
Driven by lower rates paid on certificates of deposit, the Bank's interest expense decreased $40 thousand, or 4.1%, to $946 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2015, compared to $986 thousand for the prior year period. For the twelve months ended March 31, 2015, interest expense remained relatively unchanged at $3.9 million, decreasing $9 thousand, or 0.2%, from the prior year period. Increased interest expenses on deposits were partially offset by decreased interest expenses on borrowed funds, as the Bank grew deposits and reduced borrowings.
Provision for Loan Losses
The Company recorded a $365 thousand recovery of loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 2015, compared to a $300 thousand provision for loan losses for the prior year period. In addition, the Company recognized net charge-offs of $1 million, compared to $1.5 million in the prior year quarter. For the twelve months ended March 31, 2015, the Company recorded a $3.0 million recovery of loan losses, compared to $426 thousand for the prior year period. Net recoveries of $255 thousand were recognized for the fiscal year, compared to net charge-offs of $3.3 million in the prior year period. Decreases in historic loan loss rates and recoveries of previously charged-off loans were the primary drivers of the improvement in both periods.
Non-interest Income
Non-interest income decreased $495 thousand, or 26.2%, to $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, compared to $1.9 million for the prior year period. For the twelve months ended March 31, 2015, non-interest income decreased $1.2 million, or 18.2%, to $5.6 million compared to $6.8 million for the prior year period. Non-interest income in the prior year and quarter included gains on sales of loans and securities of $1.3 million and $552 thousand, respectively, as the Bank disposed of non-performing loans and repositioned its investment portfolio. Other non-interest income for the current fiscal year included a $323 thousand grant award from the Community Development Financial Institutions Fund of the U.S. Department of the Treasury.

Non-interest Expense
For the three months ended March 31, 2015, non-interest expense decreased $621 thousand, or 8.6%, to $6.6 million, compared to $7.2 million for the prior year quarter. For the twelve months ended March 31, 2015, non-interest expense decreased $659 thousand or 2.4% to $26.7 million, compared to $27.4 million for the prior year period. Two factors drove this decrease: federal deposit insurance premiums decreased after the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency lifted its regulatory orders on the Bank in November, and data processing costs decreased as the Bank upgraded its core technology platform. The data processing savings were slightly offset by higher consulting expenses, while the one-time cost associated with terminating the Company's pension plan in the prior year led to decreased compensation and benefits in the current year.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense was $31 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2015, compared to $8 thousand for the prior year period. For the twelve months ended March 31, 2015, income tax expense was $166 thousand, compared to $102 thousand in the prior year period.
Financial Condition Highlights
At March 31, 2015, total assets increased $36.5 million, or 5.7%, to $676.4 million, compared to $639.8 million at March 31, 2014. This overall change was primarily driven by increases of $96.0 million in the loan portfolio, net of the allowance for loan losses, and $14.6 million in the investment portfolio, offset by a decrease of $70.4 million in cash and due from banks.
Total investment securities increased $14.6 million, or 14.8%, to $113.1 million at March 31, 2015, compared to $98.5 million at March 31, 2014 as the Bank redeployed excess cash by purchasing securities.
Net loans receivable increased $93.2 million, or 23.9%, to $483.2 million at March 31, 2015, compared to $390.0 million at March 31, 2014 following growth in business and mortgage loans from loan purchases and originations.
Loans held-for-sale ("HFS") decreased $2.4 million, or 48.6%, to $2.6 million at March 31, 2015, following transfer of a loan into other real estate owned during the first fiscal quarter.
Total liabilities increased $32.7 million, or 5.6%, to $621.4 million at March 31, 2015, compared to $588.7 million at March 31, 2014, due to increases in deposits of $18.4 million, and borrowings of $13.0 million to fund the growth in loans and securities.
Deposits increased $18.4 million, or 3.6%, to $527.8 million at March 31, 2015, compared to $509.4 million at March 31, 2014, following an increase in money market and interest-bearing checking accounts.
Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York and other borrowed money increased $13.0 million, or 18.5%, to $83.4 million at March 31, 2015, compared to $70.4 million at March 31, 2014. The Bank increased its borrowings to fund loan growth in the fourth quarter.
Total equity increased $3.8 million, or 7.4%, to $55.0 million at March 31, 2015, compared to $51.2 million at March 31, 2014. The increase was primarily due to a $3.7 million reduction in unrealized losses on investments and net income earned for the fiscal year.

Asset Quality
At March 31, 2015, non-performing assets totaled $15.3 million, or 2.3% of total assets, compared to $15.1 million or 2.3% of total assets at December 31, 2014 and $18.9 million or 3.0% of total assets at March 31, 2014. Non-performing assets at March 31, 2015 consisted of $4.8 million of loans 90 days or more past due and nonaccruing, $3.6 million of loans classified as a troubled debt restructuring, $4.3 million of other real estate owned, and $2.6 million of loans classified as HFS.
At March 31, 2015, the allowance for loan losses was $4.5 million and the ratio of the allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans was 53.3% compared to 57.6% at March 31, 2014. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans was 0.9% at March 31, 2015, down from 1.9% at March 31, 2014, as non-performing assets decreased 19.2% during the period.

(1) Nonaccrual status denotes any loan where the delinquency exceeds 90 days past due and in the opinion of management the collection of contractual interest and/or principal is doubtful. Payments received on a nonaccrual loan are either applied to the outstanding principal balance or recorded as interest income, depending on assessment of the ability to collect on the loan.
(2) Other non-performing assets generally represent loans that the Bank is in the process of selling and has designated held-for-sale or property acquired by the Bank in settlement of loans less costs to sell (i.e., through foreclosure, repossession or as an in-substance foreclosure). These assets are recorded at the lower of their cost or fair value.
(3) Troubled debt restructured loans performing in accordance with their modified terms for less than six months and those not performing in accordance with their modified terms are considered nonaccrual and are included in the nonaccrual category in the table above. At March 31, 2015, there were $4.6 million TDR loans that have performed in accordance with their modified terms for a period of at least six months. These loans are generally considered performing loans and are not presented in the table above.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to evaluating Carver Bancorp's results of operations in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), management routinely supplements their evaluation with an analysis of certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as the efficiency ratio, return on average stockholders' equity excluding average accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI"), and average stockholders' equity excluding AOCI to average assets. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide information that is useful to investors in understanding the Company's underlying operating performance and trends, and facilitates comparisons with the performance of other banks and thrifts. Further, the efficiency ratio is used by management in its assessment of financial performance, including non-interest expense control.
Return on equity measures how efficiently we generate profits from the resources provided by our net assets. Return on average stockholders' equity is calculated by dividing annualized net income (loss) by average stockholders' equity, excluding AOCI. Management believes that this performance measure explains the results of the Company's ongoing businesses in a manner that allows for a better understanding of the underlying trends in the Company's current businesses. For purposes of the Company's presentation, AOCI includes the changes in the market or fair value of its investment portfolio and former pension plan. These fluctuations have been excluded due to the unpredictable nature of this item and is not necessarily indicative of current operating or future performance.
