Camco Financial Corp. (CAFI, Financial) filed Annual Report for the period ended 2011-12-31.

Camco Finl Corp has a market cap of $16.6 million; its shares were traded at around $2.8 with a P/E ratio of 8.5 and P/S ratio of 0.3.

Highlight of Business Operations:

During 2011, Camco experienced improving trends in asset quality metrics. Nonperforming loans decreased $8.9 million, or 26.3% from $33.8 million at December 31, 2010 to $24.9 million at the end of 2011. Net charge offs totaled $4.6 million during 2011 compared to $17.7 million during 2010. These decreases show that we continue to diligently manage our delinquencies and work with our loan customers in order to reduce losses for them, as well as our Corporation. Additionally, the amount of classified loans has decreased not only due to charge off and sales of various assets, but also due to upgrading the loan quality ratings of various commercial loans related to improved borrower financial performance combined, in some cases, with restructured credit facilities which has resulted in lower provisions for loan losses.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income for the year ended December 31, 2011, amounted to $25.9 million, an increase of $524,000, or 2.0%, compared to 2010, generally reflecting the effects of re-pricing of liabilities in the current lower interest rate environment. Net interest margin increased 16 basis points to 3.66% for the twelve months ending December 31, 2011 compared to 3.5% for the comparable period in 2010. The increase in net interest margin during the 2011 period, compared to the same period of 2010, was due primarily to a lower cost of interest-bearing liabilities in the 2011 period offset partially by a lower volume of interest-earning assets and a lower yield on those assets.

Other Income. Other income totaled $6.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, a decrease of $866,000, or 11.8%, compared to 2010. The decrease in other income was primarily attributable to a $1.4 million decrease in the gain on sale of loans and a $780,000 decrease in title fees offset partially by a $1.3 million increase in gains on sales of investments.

Other Income. Other income totaled $7.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, a decrease of $897,000, or 10.9%, compared to 2009. The decrease in other income was primarily attributable to a $1.3 million decrease in the value of our mortgage servicing rights net offset partially by a $611,000 increase in gains on sales of loans.

Federal Income Taxes. The Federal income taxes totaled $518,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010, an increase of $6.8 million, compared to the benefit provision recorded in 2009. During the third quarter of 2010, management performed an analysis on its deferred tax assets and determined a full valuation allowance was necessary. The 2010 year increase reflected a 100% valuation allowance on the Corporations deferred tax asset. As the Corporation executes plans to return to profitability, future earnings will benefit from operating loss carry-forwards.
