FDIC Fund Assessment Weighs on Downey Financial’s Net Income

Downey Financial Corp., parent company of Downey Savings and Loan Assn., reported that net income last year fell slightly, mainly because of a one-time assessment for a federal savings insurance fund.

Net income for 1996 totaled $20.7 million, or 81 cents a share, after the assessment of $24.6 million. The institution earned $21.1 million, or 83 cents a share, for the previous year. The assessment was mandated for all institutions insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.

For the fourth quarter, Downey posted net income of $8.7 million, or 34 cents a share, up 5% from $8.3 million, or 33 cents a share, for the fourth quarter a year earlier. Assets grew 11% to $5.2 billion from $4.7 billion.
