NEWS RELEASE
SECURITY FEDERAL CORPORATION ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER EARNINGS
Aiken, South Carolina (May 1, 2020) - Security Federal Corporation (“Company”) (OTCBB: SFDL), the holding company for Security Federal Bank (“Bank”), today announced earnings
results for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. Net income was $1.1 million or $0.34 per common share (basic) for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 compared to $2.1 million or $0.71 per common share (basic) for the first quarter of 2019. The decrease
in earnings was primarily the result of a significant increase in loan loss provision expense due to the added risk of loan defaults resulting from the novel Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic crisis.
Response to COVID-19
The impact of COVID-19 is rapidly evolving and its future social and economic effects are uncertain at this time. The actual financial impact will depend on many
factors beyond our Company’s control; however, the Company is taking every step to protect the health and safety of its employees and customers. Additionally we are working closely with customers who are experiencing economic hardship resulting from
the pandemic. The majority of non-branch personnel are working remotely and branch lobbies are temporarily closed; however, we continue to assist customers through our drive through facilities, ATMs or by appointment. The Company has also opted to
conduct our Annual Shareholders Meeting via teleconference.
The Bank is working closely with its customers and other members of our communities to guide them on their options for financial assistance, including the federal
government’s Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and other relief options such as payment deferrals and waived fees. As of April 28, 2020, we received over 1,000 applications from customers for PPP loans and have funded 618 PPP loans totaling $47.5
million. In addition, through a partnership with the City of Aiken, Aiken Corporation and the Aiken Chamber of Commerce, the Company has implemented a small business loan program. To date, 42 local businesses have benefited from this program.
As of April 28, 2020, we've provided payment relief to approximately 189 borrowers on 260 loans in the form of a three month payment deferral. The total balance of
loans modified is $82.9 million, representing 17% of our total loan portfolio at March 31, 2020. The majority of these modifications ($78.2 million) have been to commercial real estate loans.
