FFY Financial Corp. Reports 2nd Quarter Earnings and Regular Dividend
Youngstown, Ohio, January 21, 1997 - FFY Financial Corp. (NASDAQ:
FFYF) announced net income of $1.9 million or $.39 per share for its 2nd
fiscal quarter ended December 31, 1996. Earnings for the current quarter
compared to $1.8 million, or $.35 per share for the prior year quarter ended
December 31, 1995.
On November 20, 1996, the Company commenced a Modified Dutch Auction
Tender Offer whereby FFY Financial offered to purchase up to 1.5 million
shares of its common stock within a price range of $24 to $26 per share. As
a result of the offer, which expired on December 20, 1996, the Company
purchased 808,000 shares, approximately 15.8% of the shares outstanding, at
$26.00 per share at a total cost of $21.0 million. Final settlement of the
transaction occurred on December 31, 1996.
Assets totaled $582.3 million at December 31, 1996, a decrease of
$20.2 million, or 3.4% from $602.5 million at September 30, 1996 primarily
due to the tender offer. Net loans receivable increased $4.1 million, or
1.0% during the quarter and totaled $453.3 million at December 31, 1996 with
growth continuing to be predominantly in 1-4 family mortgages. Securities
declined $41.5 million during the quarter and totaled $83.5 million at
December 31, 1996 primarily due to security sales used to fund the tender
offer. These sales generated gains of $173,000 during the quarter, and
proceeds from sales not used for the tender offer, totaling approximately
$17.0 million are available for reinvestment. Deposits totaled $460.7
million at December 31, 1996, an increase of $11.8 million, or 2.6% from
$448.9 million at September 30, 1996.
Nonperforming indirect auto loans increased from $493,000 at September
30, 1996 to $1.1 million at December 31, 1996, resulting in a $198,000
provision for loan losses for the current quarter, an increase of $125,000
from the prior year quarter, to bring the allowance for losses to 45% of
nonperforming indirect auto loans at December 31, 1996. The Bank began the
indirect auto lending program in January 1996, and since that time has
tightened underwriting standards and increased collection efforts on these
loans.
At its meeting of January 21, 1997 the Company's board of directors
approved its regular quarterly dividend of 17.5 cents per share. The
dividend will be paid on February 13, 1997 to shareholders of record on
January 31, 1997.
Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters
discussed in this press release may be deemed to be forward-looking
statements that involve risks and uncertainties, including changes in
economic conditions in the Company's market area, changes in policies by

Company's market area and competition, and other risks detailed from time to
time in the Company's SEC reports, including the report on Form 10-K for the
year ended June 30, 1996 and Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30,
1996. Actual strategies and results in future periods may differ materially
from those currently expected. These forward-looking statements represent
the Company's judgment as of the date of this release. The Company
