WVS FINANCIAL CORP. ANNOUNCES INCREASED NET INCOME AND EARNINGS PER SHARE FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 2016

Pittsburgh, PA — WVS Financial Corp. (NASDAQ: WVFC), the holding company for West View Savings Bank, today reported net income of $398 thousand or $0.21 per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2016 as compared to $311 thousand or $0.16 per diluted share for the same period in 2015. The $87 thousand increase in net income during the three months ended September 30, 2016 was primarily attributable to a $78 thousand increase in net interest income, a $9 thousand decrease in non-interest expense, a $6 thousand decrease in income tax expense, and a $3 thousand decrease in the provision for loan losses, which were partially offset by a $9 thousand decrease in non-interest income. The increase in net interest income during the three months ended September 30, 2016 was attributable to a $140 thousand increase in interest income, which was partially offset by a $62 thousand increase in interest expense. The increase in interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 was primarily attributable to higher average balances of loans outstanding and investment securities, which were partially offset by lower average balances of U.S. Government agency mortgage-backed securities, and lower yields earned on the Company’s investment, mortgage-backed securities, and loan portfolios, when compared to the same period in 2015. The higher average balances of loans outstanding was attributable to increased loan originations in excess of repayments, while the increase in the average balance of investment securities was the result of a reallocation of funds into the Company’s investment portfolio from repayments on the Company’s U.S. Government agency mortgage-backed securities sector. The increase in interest expense was primarily attributable to higher rates paid on FHLB long-term variable-rate advances and FHLB short-term advances, and higher average balances of FHLB short-term advances, which were partially offset by lower average balances and lower average rates paid on time deposits, when compared to the same period in 2015. The decrease in non-interest expense was primarily attributable to decreases in legal expenses associated with past due loans in the three months ended September 30, 2016 when compared to the same period in 2015. The decrease in non-interest income was primarily attributable to lower transaction account service charges and automated teller machine fee income for the quarter ended September 30, 2016, when compared to the same period in 2015. The decrease in income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2016 was primarily due to lower levels of taxable income, when compared to the same period in 2015. The decrease in the provision for loan losses was primarily attributable to lower average volumes of loans within the commercial loan segment in the Company’s loan portfolio.
