Citizens Financial Announces Third Quarter 2004 Results LOUISVILLE,
Ky., Nov. 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Citizens Financial
Corporation (NASDAQ:CNFL) reported a net income of $146,000 or
$0.09 per share for the third quarter ended September 30 according
to results released today. The net income decreased about $107,000
from the income of $253,000 or $0.15 per share during the same
period in 2003. The loss for the first three quarters of 2004 was
$836,000 or $0.50 per share, which was up about 109% from the loss
of $400,000, or $0.24 per share during the same period in 2003.
During the first nine months of 2004 net equity decreased 11.5% to
$10.99 per share due primarily to this net loss and unrealized
losses in the Company's investment portfolio. For the third
quarter, the Company experienced a pre-tax loss of $756,000 from
operations offset by net pre-tax portfolio investment gains of
$914,000. In the past, low earned interest rates have been the main
reason for the Company's continued operating losses. The recent
increase in interest rates, if continued, should positively impact
the Company's operating earnings over the long term. However, the
negative impact of continued rising interest rates on bond values
would decrease the Company's capital. The operating results for the
first nine months of 2004 were adversely impacted by a significant
increase in mortality rates for all life insurance lines of
business, in the morbidity rates for the group dental line and
other accident and health lines. Total revenues were down 12% for
the third quarter compared to the prior year, while premium income
decreased 17% for the period. The decrease in premium income was
attributable to lower Preneed sales. This resulted primarily from
decreases made by the Company in the second quarter of 2003 to
commissions paid on these products. General expenses were up 12%
during the first nine months of the year compared to the same
period in the prior year, due primarily to several non-recurring
expenses incurred. Certain statements made herein are
