SPRINGFIELD, Mo., April 21, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --
Preliminary Financial Results for the Quarter Ended
March 31, 2015:
- Total Loans: Total gross loans, excluding acquired
covered loans, acquired non-covered loans and mortgage loans held
for sale, increased $102.9 million,
or 3.9%, from December 31, 2014, to
March 31, 2015, primarily in the
areas of commercial real estate loans, other residential loans,
consumer loans, and construction loans. Net decreases in the
acquired loan portfolios totaled $20.4
million in the three months ended March 31, 2015.
- Net Interest Income: Net interest income for the
first quarter of 2015 increased $6.1
million to $44.1 million
compared to $38.0 million for the
first quarter of 2014. Net interest margin was 4.82% for the
quarter ended March 31, 2015,
compared to 4.66% for the first quarter of 2014 and 5.08% for the
quarter ended December 31, 2014.
The increase in the margin from the prior year first quarter
was primarily the result of increases in average loan balances and
reductions in interest expense due to the repayment of high-rate
borrowings at the end of the second quarter of 2014. In
addition, the Company collected amounts on certain acquired loans
from customers which had previously not been expected to be
collectible (see "Net Interest Income"), resulting in 10 basis
points of the total net interest margin reported. The
positive impact on net interest margin from the additional yield
accretion on acquired loan pools that was recorded during the
period was 98 basis points for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 and 97 basis points for the
quarter ended March 31, 2014.
For further discussion of the additional yield accretion of the
discount on acquired loan pools, see "Net Interest Income."
- Asset Quality: Non-performing assets and
potential problem loans, excluding those currently or previously
covered by FDIC loss sharing agreements and those acquired in the
FDIC-assisted transaction with Valley Bank, which are not covered
by a loss sharing agreement and are accounted for and analyzed as
loan pools rather than individual loans, totaled $66.0 million at March 31,
2015, a decrease of $2.7
million from $68.7 million at
December 31, 2014 and a decrease of
$12.4 million from $78.4 million at March
31, 2014. Non-performing assets were $42.4 million, or 1.04% of total assets, at
March 31, 2015, compared to
$43.7 million, or 1.11% of total
assets, at December 31, 2014 and
$55.9 million, or 1.48% of total
assets, at March 31, 2014. Net
charge-offs were $664,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 2015,
compared to net charge-offs of $3.5
million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and net recoveries of $302,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2014.
- Capital: The capital position of the Company
continues to be strong, significantly exceeding the thresholds
established by regulators. On a preliminary basis, as of
March 31, 2015, the Company's Tier 1
Leverage Ratio was 11.0%, Common Equity Tier 1 Capital Ratio was
10.9%, Tier 1 Capital Ratio was 13.6%, and Total Capital Ratio was
14.8%.
Great Southern Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: GSBC), the holding company
for Great Southern Bank, today reported that preliminary earnings
for the three months ended March 31,
2015, were $0.83 per diluted
common share ($11.5 million available
to common shareholders) compared to $0.63 per diluted common share ($8.7 million available to common shareholders)
for the three months ended March 31,
2014.
For the quarter ended March 31,
2015, annualized return on average common equity was 12.63%,
annualized return on average assets was 1.14%, and net interest
margin was 4.82%, compared to 10.66%, 0.96% and 4.66%,
respectively, for the quarter ended March
31, 2014.
President and CEO Joseph W.
Turner commented, "We are pleased to report first quarter
earnings of $0.83 per diluted common
share as compared to $0.63 in the
same period of 2014. Earnings were driven by strong loan growth
throughout the Company's eight-state footprint and in most loan
types. Total loans, excluding acquired covered and non-covered
loans and mortgage loans held for sale, increased $103 million, or nearly 4%, from the end of 2014.
Net interest margin was 4.82% for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, compared to 4.66% for the same
period in 2014. Credit quality trends remained stable compared to
the end of 2014 with a decrease of $2.7
million in total non-performing assets and potential problem
loans, excluding FDIC-acquired covered and non-covered loans.
"Our capital remained strong in the first quarter. As of
March 31, 2015, total stockholders'
equity was $428.9 million, or 10.5%
of assets, and common stockholders' equity was $370.9 million, or 9.1% of assets. Book value per
common share increased from $26.30 at
the end of 2014 to $26.93 at the end
of the first quarter of 2015."

NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income for the first quarter of 2015 increased
$6.1 million to $44.1 million compared to $38.0 million for the first quarter of 2014.
Net interest margin was 4.82% in the first quarter of 2015,
compared to 4.66% in the same period of 2014, an increase of 16
basis points. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, the net interest margin decreased
26 basis points compared to the net interest margin of 5.08% in the
three months ended December 31,
2014. The average interest rate spread was 4.73% for the
three months ended March 31, 2015,
compared to 4.55% for the three months ended March 31, 2014. For the three months ended
March 31, 2015, the average interest
rate spread decreased 26 basis points compared to the average
interest rate spread of 4.99% in the three months ended
December 31, 2014.
During the three months ended March 31,
2015, the Company collected $891,000 on certain acquired loans from customers
with loans which had previously not been expected to be
collectible. In accordance with the Company's accounting
methodology, these collections were accounted for as increases in
estimated cash flows and were recorded as interest income, thereby
increasing net interest income and net interest margin. The
positive impact on net interest margin in the three months ended
March 31, 2015 (annualized) was
approximately 10 basis points. These collections related to
acquired loans which were subject to loss sharing agreements with
the FDIC; therefore, 80% of the amounts collected, or $713,000, is owed to the FDIC. This $713,000 of expense is included in non-interest
income under "accretion (amortization) of income related to
business acquisitions."
The Company's net interest margin has been significantly
impacted by additional yield accretion recognized in conjunction
with updated estimates of the fair value of the loan pools acquired
in the 2009, 2011 and 2012 FDIC-assisted transactions. On an
on-going basis, the Company estimates the cash flows expected to be
collected from the acquired loan pools. For each of the loan
portfolios acquired, the cash flow estimates have increased, based
on payment histories and reduced loss expectations of the loan
pools. This resulted in increased income that was spread on a
level-yield basis over the remaining expected lives of the loan
pools. The increases in expected cash flows also reduced the amount
of expected reimbursements under the loss sharing agreements with
the FDIC, which are recorded as indemnification assets. Therefore,
the expected indemnification assets have also been reduced each
quarter since the first quarter of 2010, resulting in adjustments
to be amortized on a comparable basis over the remainder of the
loss sharing agreements or the remaining expected lives of the loan
pools, whichever is shorter. Additional estimated cash flows,
primarily related to the InterBank loan portfolios, were recorded
in the quarter ended March 31,
2015.
In addition, beginning in the quarter ended December 31, 2014, the Company's net interest
margin has been impacted by additional yield accretion recognized
in conjunction with updated estimates of the fair value of the loan
pools acquired in the June 2014
Valley Bank FDIC-assisted transaction. Beginning with the
quarter ended December 31, 2014, the
cash flow estimates have increased for certain of the Valley Bank
loan pools primarily based on significant loan repayments and also
due to collection of certain loans, thereby reducing loss
expectations on certain of the loan pools. This resulted in
increased income that was spread on a level-yield basis over the
remaining expected lives of these loan pools. The Valley Bank
transaction does not include a loss sharing agreement with the
FDIC. Therefore, there is no related indemnification asset.
The entire amount of the discount adjustment will be accreted to
interest income over time with no offsetting impact to non-interest
income. The amount of the Valley Bank discount adjustment
accreted to interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 was $1.1
million, and is included in the impact on net interest
income/net interest margin amount in the table below. Based
on current estimates, we anticipate recording additional interest
income accretion of $1.7 million in
the remainder of 2015 related to these Valley Bank loan pools.
The impact of these adjustments on the Company's financial
results for the reporting periods presented is shown below:

Because these adjustments will be recognized over the remaining
lives of the loan pools and the remainder of the loss sharing
agreements, respectively, they will impact future periods as well.
The remaining accretable yield adjustment that will affect interest
income is $25.2 million and the
remaining adjustment to the indemnification assets, including the
effects of the clawback liability related to InterBank, that will
affect non-interest income (expense) is $(20.7) million. Of the remaining adjustments, we
expect to recognize $16.3 million of
interest income and $(12.6) million
of non-interest income (expense) during the remainder of
2015. Additional adjustments may be recorded in future
periods from the FDIC-assisted transactions, as the Company
continues to evaluate its estimate of expected cash flows from the
acquired loan pools.
Excluding the impact of the additional yield accretion, net
interest margin for the three months ended March 31, 2015 increased 15 basis points when
compared to the year-ago quarter. The increase in net
interest margin is primarily due to a decrease in interest expense
on FHLB advances and structured repurchase borrowings, due to the
payoff of FHLB advances and structured repurchase agreements, as
discussed in the quarter ended June 30,
2014 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In addition, the
mix of assets has continued to change through an increase in the
average balance of loans and a decrease in the average balance of
investment securities.
For additional information on net interest income components,
see the "Average Balances, Interest Rates and Yields" tables in
this release.
NON-INTEREST INCOME
For the quarter ended March 31,
2015, non-interest income decreased $980,000 to $(56,000) when compared to the quarter ended
March 31, 2014, primarily as a result
of the following increases and decreases:
- Other Income: Other income decreased $1.3 million compared to the prior year quarter.
The decrease was primarily due to non-recurring debit card-related
income of $1.0 million recognized
during the 2014 quarter.
- Amortization of income related to business acquisitions: The
net amortization expense related to business acquisitions was
$6.9 million for the quarter ended
March 31, 2015, compared to
$6.4 million for the quarter ended
March 31, 2014. The amortization
expense for the quarter ended March 31,
2015, consisted of the following items: $6.2 million of amortization expense related to
the changes in cash flows expected to be collected from the
FDIC-covered loan portfolios and $486,000 of amortization of the clawback
liability. In addition, the Company collected amounts on various
problem assets acquired from the FDIC totaling $891,000. Under the loss sharing agreements, 80%
of these collected amounts must be remitted to the FDIC; therefore,
the Company recorded a liability and related expense of
$713,000. Partially offsetting the
expense was income from the accretion of the discount related to
the indemnification assets for the Sun Security Bank and InterBank
acquisitions of $496,000.
- Gains on sales of single-family loans: Gains on sales of
single-family loans increased $391,000 compared to the prior year quarter. This
increase was due to an increase in originations of fixed-rate loans
in the 2015 period. Fixed rate single-family loans originated are
subsequently sold in the secondary market.
- Service charges and ATM fees: Service charges and ATM fees
increased $476,000 compared to the
prior year quarter, primarily due to an increase in fee income from
the additional accounts acquired in the Valley Bank transaction in
June 2014.
NON-INTEREST EXPENSE
For the quarter ended March 31,
2015, non-interest expense increased $1.3 million to $27.2
million when compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2014, primarily as a result of the
following items:
- Expenses related to operations of former Valley Bank: The
Company incurred approximately $1.3
million of additional non-interest expenses during the
quarter ended March 31, 2015, related
to the operations of former Valley Bank banking centers and related
banking activities, acquired through the FDIC in June 2014.
Those expenses included approximately $470,000 of compensation expense, approximately
$346,000 of net occupancy expense,
approximately $182,000 of computer
and equipment expense, and $38,000 of
legal and professional fees and various other expenses.
Partially offsetting the increase in non-interest expense was a
decrease in the following items:
- Expense on foreclosed assets: Expense on foreclosed
assets decreased $465,000 compared to
the prior year period primarily due to write-downs on foreclosed
assets during the 2014 period. There were no comparable
write-downs during the current year period.
- Legal, audit and other professional fees: Legal, audit
and other professional fees decreased $310,000 compared to the prior period, primarily
due to reduced costs for collections related to foreclosed assets
and problem loans.
The Company's efficiency ratio for the quarter ended
March 31, 2015, was 61.82% compared
to 66.58% for the same quarter in 2014. The improvement in
the ratio in the 2015 three month period was primarily due to the
increase in net interest income, which is discussed above,
partially offset by the increase in non-interest expense and the
decrease in non-interest income. The Company's ratio of
non-interest expense to average assets decreased from 2.83% for the
three months ended March 31, 2014 to
2.67% for the three months ended March
31, 2015. The decrease in the current three month
period ratio was primarily due to the increase in average assets in
the 2015 period compared to the 2014 period. Average assets
for the quarter ended March 31, 2015,
increased $410.2 million, or 11.2%,
from the quarter ended March 31,
2014, primarily due to the Valley acquisition in
June 2014, and organic loan growth,
partially offset by decreases in investment securities and FDIC
indemnification assets.
INCOME TAXES
For the three months ended March 31,
2015 and 2014, the Company's effective tax rate was 25.0%
and 22.0%, respectively, which was lower than the statutory federal
tax rate of 35%, due primarily to the effects of certain investment
tax credits utilized and to tax-exempt investments and tax-exempt
loans which reduced the Company's effective tax rate. In
future periods, the Company expects its effective tax rate
typically will be 22-25% of pre-tax net income, assuming it
continues to maintain or increase its use of investment tax
credits. The Company's effective tax rate may fluctuate as it
is impacted by the level and timing of the Company's utilization of
tax credits and the level of tax-exempt investments and loans and
the overall level of pretax income.
CAPITAL
As of March 31, 2015, total
stockholders' equity was $428.9
million (10.5% of total assets). As of March 31, 2015, common stockholders' equity was
$370.9 million (9.1% of total
assets), equivalent to a book value of $26.93 per common share. Total
stockholders' equity at December 31,
2014, was $419.7 million
(10.6% of total assets). As of December 31,
2014, common stockholders' equity was $361.8 million (9.2% of total assets), equivalent
to a book value of $26.30 per common
share. At March 31, 2015, the
Company's tangible common equity to total assets ratio was 8.9%,
compared to 9.0% at December 31,
2014. The tangible common equity to total risk-weighted
assets ratio was 11.1% and 11.0% at March
31, 2015, and December 31,
2014, respectively.
On a preliminary basis, as of March 31,
2015, the Company's Tier 1 Leverage Ratio was 11.0%, Common
Equity Tier 1 Capital Ratio was 10.9%, Tier 1 Capital Ratio was
13.6%, and Total Capital Ratio was 14.8%. On March 31, 2015, and on a preliminary basis, the
Bank's Tier 1 Leverage Ratio was 9.3%, Common Equity Tier 1 Capital
Ratio was 11.5%, Tier 1 Capital Ratio was 11.5%, and Total Capital
Ratio was 12.7%. These capital ratios are still subject to
change pending final review and submission of our call
reports.
Great Southern Bancorp, Inc. is a participant in the U.S.
Treasury's Small Business Lending Fund (SBLF) program.
Through the SBLF, in August 2011, the
Company issued a new series of preferred stock with an aggregate
liquidation amount totaling $57.9
million to the Treasury. The dividend rate on the SBLF
preferred stock for the first quarter of 2015 was 1.0% and the
dividend rate will remain at 1.0% until the first quarter of
2016.
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
Management records a provision for loan losses in an amount it
believes sufficient to result in an allowance for loan losses that
will cover current net charge-offs as well as risks believed to be
inherent in the loan portfolio of the Bank. The amount of provision
charged against current income is based on several factors,
including, but not limited to, past loss experience, current
portfolio mix, actual and potential losses identified in the loan
portfolio, economic conditions, and internal as well as external
reviews. However, the levels of non-performing assets,
potential problem loans, loan loss provisions and net charge-offs
fluctuate from period to period and are difficult to predict.
Weak economic conditions, higher inflation or interest rates, or
other factors may lead to increased losses in the portfolio and/or
requirements for an increase in loan loss provision expense.
Management maintains various controls in an attempt to limit future
losses, such as a watch list of possible problem loans, documented
loan administration policies and a loan review staff to review the
quality and anticipated collectability of the portfolio. Additional
procedures provide for frequent management review of the loan
portfolio based on loan size, loan type, delinquencies, on-going
correspondence with borrowers and problem loan work-outs.
Management determines which loans are potentially uncollectible, or
represent a greater risk of loss, and makes additional provisions
to expense, if necessary, to maintain the allowance at a
satisfactory level.
The provision for loan losses for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, decreased $391,000 to $1.3
million when compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2014. At March 31, 2015, the allowance for loan losses was
$39.1 million, an increase of
$636,000 from December 31, 2014. Total net charge-offs
were $664,000 and $3.5 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2015, and 2014, respectively. For
the quarter ended March 31, 2015, two
relationships made up $488,000 of the
total $664,000 in net
charge-offs. The decrease in net charge-offs in the three
months ended March 31, 2015, was
consistent with our expectations, as indicated in previous
filings. The increase in the allowance for loan losses was
primarily due to loan growth. General market conditions, and
more specifically, real estate absorption rates and unique
circumstances related to individual borrowers and projects also
contributed to the level of provisions and charge-offs. As
properties were categorized as potential problem loans,
non-performing loans or foreclosed assets, evaluations were made of
the values of these assets with corresponding charge-offs as
appropriate.
The Bank's allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total
loans, excluding loans covered by the FDIC loss sharing agreements,
was 1.31% and 1.34% at March 31, 2015
and December 31, 2014, respectively.
Management considers the allowance for loan losses adequate to
cover losses inherent in the Company's loan portfolio at
March 31, 2015, based on recent
reviews of the Company's loan portfolio and current economic
conditions. If economic conditions were to deteriorate or
management's assessment of the loan portfolio were to change, it is
possible that additional loan loss provisions would be required,
thereby adversely affecting future results of operations and
financial condition.
ASSET QUALITY
Former TeamBank, Vantus Bank, Sun Security Bank and InterBank
non-performing assets, including foreclosed assets and potential
problem loans, are not included in the totals or in the discussion
of non-performing loans, potential problem loans and foreclosed
assets below as they are, or were, subject to loss sharing
agreements with the FDIC, which cover at least 80% of principal
losses that may be incurred in these portfolios for the applicable
terms under the agreements. At March
31, 2015, there were no material non-performing assets or
potential problem loans that were previously covered, and are now
not covered, under the TeamBank or Vantus Bank non-single-family
loss sharing agreements. In addition, FDIC-supported
TeamBank, Vantus Bank, Sun Security Bank and InterBank assets were
initially recorded at their estimated fair values as of their
acquisition dates of March 20, 2009,
September 4, 2009, October 7, 2011, and April
27, 2012, respectively. The overall performance of the
FDIC-covered loan pools acquired in 2009, 2011 and 2012 has been
better than original expectations as of the acquisition dates.
Former Valley Bank loans are also excluded from the totals
and the discussion of non-performing loans, potential problem loans
and foreclosed assets below, although they are not covered by a
loss sharing agreement. Former Valley Bank loans are
accounted for in pools and were recorded at their fair value at the
time of the acquisition as of June 20,
2014; therefore, these loan pools are analyzed rather than
the individual loans.
The loss sharing agreement for the non-single-family portion of
the loans acquired in the TeamBank transaction ended on
March 31, 2014. Any additional
losses in that non-single-family portfolio will not be eligible for
loss sharing coverage. At this time, the Company does not expect
any material losses in this non-single-family loan portfolio, which
totaled $24.8 million, net of
discounts, at March 31, 2015.
The loss sharing agreement for the non-single-family portion of
the loans acquired in the Vantus Bank transaction ended on
September 30, 2014. Any
additional losses in that non-single-family portfolio will not be
eligible for loss sharing coverage. At this time, the Company
does not expect any material losses in this non-single-family loan
portfolio, which totaled $21.9
million, net of discounts, at March
31, 2015.
As a result of changes in balances and composition of the loan
portfolio, changes in economic and market conditions that occur
from time to time and other factors specific to a borrower's
circumstances, the level of non-performing assets will
fluctuate.
Non-performing assets, excluding FDIC-covered non-performing
assets and other FDIC-assisted acquired assets, at March 31, 2015, were $42.4
million, a decrease of $1.3
million from $43.7 million at
December 31, 2014, and a decrease of
$13.5 million from $55.9 million at March
31, 2014. Non-performing assets, excluding
FDIC-covered non-performing assets and other FDIC-assisted acquired
assets, as a percentage of total assets were 1.04% at March 31, 2015, compared to 1.11% at December 31, 2014 and 1.48% at March 31, 2014.
Compared to December 31, 2014,
non-performing loans decreased $2.0
million to $6.1 million at
March 31, 2015, and foreclosed assets
increased $802,000 to $36.3 million at March
31, 2015. Non-performing commercial real estate loans
comprised $3.1 million, or 51.6%, of
the total of $6.1 million of
non-performing loans at March 31,
2015, a decrease of $1.6
million from December 31,
2014. Non-performing one-to four-family residential loans
comprised $1.5 million, or 25.0%, of
the total non-performing loans at March 31,
2015, a decrease of $145,000
from December 31, 2014.
Non-performing consumer loans decreased $3,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2015, and were $1.1 million, or 18.3%, of total non-performing
loans at March 31, 2015.
Compared to December 31, 2014,
potential problem loans decreased $1.5
million to $23.5 million at
March 31, 2015. This decrease
was due to $1.3 million in payments,
$602,000 in loans transferred to the
non-performing category and $297,000
removed from potential problem loans, partially offset by the
addition of $748,000 of loans to
potential problem loans.
Activity in the non-performing loans category during the quarter

BUSINESS INITIATIVES
The Company's first banking center in Columbia, Mo., opened on April 20, 2015. The full-service banking center
is located at 3200 S. Providence Road. Columbia, the home of the University of Missouri, is a growing market and is
a regional medical hub and home to several large corporations.
Remodeling of a former bank office building purchased by the
Company in 2014 in Leawood,
Johnson County, Kan., a suburb of
the Kansas City metropolitan
market area, continues as planned. Scheduled to be open for
business in the third quarter of 2015, the office will house the
Kansas City commercial lending
group, currently located in nearby Overland Park, Kan., and a retail banking
center. Additional space in the building is leased to tenants
unrelated to the Company.
At the end of April 2015, the
Company expects to launch an enhancement to its Mobile Banking app
for smartphones with the introduction of Debit Card On/Off. The new
security feature in the app gives account holders the ability to
remotely activate and deactivate their debit cards. This
functionality allows customers to respond quickly to a potentially
lost or stolen card, significantly reducing the possibility of
fraudulent transactions and other inconveniences.
Great Southern Bancorp, Inc. will hold its 26th Annual Meeting
of Shareholders at 10:00 a.m. CDT on
Wednesday, May 6, 2015, at the Great
Southern Operations Center, 218 S. Glenstone, Springfield, Mo. Holders of Great Southern
Bancorp, Inc. common stock at the close of business on the record
date, February 27, 2015, can vote at
the annual meeting, either in person or by proxy. Material to be
presented at the Annual Meeting will be available on the Company's
website, www.GreatSouthernBank.com, prior to the start of the
meeting.

Forward-Looking Statements
When used in documents filed or furnished by the Company with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), in the
Company's press releases or other public or stockholder
communications, and in oral statements made with the approval of an
authorized executive officer, the words or phrases "will likely
result," "are expected to," "will continue," "is anticipated,"
"estimate," "project," "intends" or similar expressions are
intended to identify "forward-looking statements" within the
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties,
including, among other things, (i) non-interest expense reductions
from Great Southern's banking center consolidations might be less
than anticipated and the costs of the consolidation and impairment
of the value of the affected premises might be greater than
expected; (ii) expected cost savings, synergies and other benefits
from the Company's merger and acquisition activities might not be
realized within the anticipated time frames or at all, and costs or
difficulties relating to integration matters, including but not
limited to customer and employee retention, might be greater than
expected; (iii) changes in economic conditions, either nationally
or in the Company's market areas; (iv) fluctuations in interest
rates; (v) the risks of lending and investing activities, including
changes in the level and direction of loan delinquencies and
write-offs and changes in estimates of the adequacy of the
allowance for loan losses; (vi) the possibility of
other-than-temporary impairments of securities held in the
Company's securities portfolio; (vii) the Company's ability to
access cost-effective funding; (viii) fluctuations in real estate
values and both residential and commercial real estate market
conditions; (ix) demand for loans and deposits in the Company's
market areas; (x) legislative or regulatory changes that adversely
affect the Company's business, including, without limitation, the
Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and its
implementing regulations, and the overdraft protection regulations
and customers' responses thereto; (xi) monetary and fiscal policies
of the Federal Reserve Board and the U.S. Government and other
governmental initiatives affecting the financial services industry;
(xii) results of examinations of the Company and Great Southern by
their regulators, including the possibility that the regulators
may, among other things, require the Company to increase its
allowance for loan losses or to write-down assets; (xiii) the
uncertainties arising from the Company's participation in the Small
Business Lending Fund program, including uncertainties concerning
the potential future redemption by us of the U.S. Treasury's
preferred stock investment under the program, including the timing
of, regulatory approvals for, and conditions placed upon, any such
redemption; (xiv) costs and effects of litigation, including
settlements and judgments; and (xv) competition. The Company wishes
to advise readers that the factors listed above and other risks
described from time to time in documents filed or furnished by the
Company with the SEC could affect the Company's financial
performance and could cause the Company's actual results for future
periods to differ materially from any opinions or statements
expressed with respect to future periods in any current
statements.
The Company does not undertake-and specifically declines any
obligation- to publicly release the result of any revisions which
may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or
circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the
occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.
The following tables set forth certain selected consolidated
financial information of the Company at and for the periods
indicated. Financial data for all periods is unaudited.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which consist only
of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of

Average Balances, Interest Rates and
Yields
The following table presents, for the periods indicated, the
total dollar amounts of interest income from average
interest-earning assets and the resulting yields, as well as the
interest expense on average interest-bearing liabilities, expressed
both in dollars and rates, and the net interest margin.
Average balances of loans receivable include the average balances
of non-accrual loans for each period. Interest income on
loans includes interest received on non-accrual loans on a cash
basis. Interest income on loans includes the amortization of
net loan fees, which were deferred in accordance with accounting
standards. Fees included in interest income were $953,000 and $601,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015, and 2014, respectively.
Tax-exempt income was not calculated on a tax equivalent basis. The
table does not reflect any effect of income taxes.
