FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
FirstFed Bancorp, Inc. Announces Third Quarter Financial Results
and Stock Repurchase Program
(Fiscal year end March 31)
Bessemer, Alabama, January 30, 1997
FirstFed Bancorp, Inc. reported quarterly net income for the third quarter ended
December 31, 1996, of $540,000, or $0.86 per share, compared to net income of
$250,000, or $0.37 per share, for the same quarter a year ago. For the nine
months ended December 31, 1996, net income was $575,000, or $0.92 per share,
compared to $635,000, or $0.95 per share, for the corresponding period last
year.
B.K. Goodwin, III, CEO and President of FirstFed Bancorp, Inc. said, "Excluding
the impact of the payment of a SAIF special assessment and a litigation
settlement, which are nonrecurring items, net income and earnings per share
would have been $1,214,000 and $1.94, respectively, for the nine months ended
December 31, 1996. We are pleased with this record level of core operating
results attained by the Company for the nine month period."
The Company announced that it is establishing another stock repurchase program.
The Board of Directors authorized the purchase of up to 10% of the outstanding
common stock, or up to 61,500 shares, during the next 12 months. The actual
amount of the repurchases, if any, and prices to be paid will be dependent upon
market conditions, and there is no guarantee as to the exact number of shares to
be repurchased by the Company.
Total assets increased to $176,496,000 at December 31, 1996, compared to
$166,184,000 at March 31, 1996, the fiscal year end for FirstFed Bancorp, Inc.
Deposits rose 7.6% to $156,913,000 at December 31, 1996, from $145,858,000 at
March 31, 1996. This increase is the result of growth in certificates of
deposits.
