LOCAL FINANCIAL CORPORATION
ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER EARNINGS
OKLAHOMA CITY - Local Financial Corporation, holding company for Local
Oklahoma Bank, today announced results for its third quarter, which ended
September 30, 1999. Net income before extraordinary item for the three-month
period was $5.7 million or $0.28 basic earnings per share, an increase of 22%
over 1998. For the nine-month period, Local earned $16.4 million before
extraordinary item or $0.80 basic earnings per share, a 21% gain over the same
period last year. During the third quarter, Local purchased $3.25 million of
Senior Notes, which had been issued in connection with the Company's
recapitalization in 1997. This move will reduce future interest costs associated
with those notes. As a result, there is an extraordinary item charged to income
amounting to $182,000, net of tax, which reduces third quarter net income to
$5.5 million or $0.27 basic earnings per share.
The acquisition of Guthrie Savings Inc., announced during the second
quarter, was approved and closed on October 15. Edward A. Townsend, Chairman and
CEO of Local Financial, said "We are extremely pleased to announce our strong
third quarter earnings, and we believe our recent acquisition of Guthrie Savings
Inc. is once again evidence of our commitment to serve the people of Oklahoma."
Local Oklahoma is the third largest commercial bank headquartered in
the state with assets of $2.3 billion and deposits in excess of $1.7 billion.
Local Oklahoma operates 51 branches across the state with significant presence
in Oklahoma City, Tulsa and Lawton. Its parent company, Local Financial
Corporation, trades on the NASDAQ national market under the symbol "LFIN".
