HOUSTON, TX USA
    HOUSTON, Oct. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Coastal Bancorp, Inc. (Nasdaq: CBSA)
today reported net income available to common stockholders of $5.1 million for
the quarter ended September 30, 2001, compared to $4.1 million for the same
period in 2000, which is a $969,000, or 23.6% increase.  Diluted earnings per
share for the quarter ended September 30, 2001 were up 16.9% to $0.83 compared
to $0.71 for the same period last year.  The weighted average common shares
outstanding used in the diluted earnings per share calculations for the
periods were 6,122,079 and 5,791,472, respectively.  Basic earnings per share
for the quarter ended September 30, 2001 were $0.88 compared to $0.73 for the
third quarter of 2000.  Comparing the third quarter of 2001 to the third
quarter of 2000, the following were the changes in the components of net
income available to common stockholders:  net interest income increased
$886,000, noninterest income increased $1.1 million, noninterest expense
increased $531,000 and the provision for Federal income taxes increased
$498,000.

    Net Interest Income
    For the three months ended September 30, 2001, net interest income
increased $886,000 when compared to the same period in 2000.  This increase
was primarily due to the increase in net interest margin to 2.95% for the
three months ended September 30, 2001 from 2.79% for the same period in 2000.
This increase in net interest margin was primarily a result of the
1.43% decrease in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities, due
primarily to the overall decrease in wholesale funding costs, partially offset
by a 1.23% decrease in the average yield on interest-earning assets.  In
addition, net interest margin was positively impacted by a $31.0 million
increase in average net interest-earning assets.  Comparing the quarter ended
September 30, 2001 to the same period in 2000, average interest-earning assets
decreased $45.8 million, primarily in the lower yielding asset categories.
This decrease consisted primarily of a $72.3 million decrease in the average
balance of mortgage-backed securities and a $31.6 million decrease in the
average balance of FHLB stock, offset somewhat by a $49.3 million increase in
the average balance of loans receivable (which are higher yielding than the
other interest-earning assets held by Coastal) and an $8.8 million increase in
the balance of other interest-earning assets.  Comparing the same periods,
average interest-bearing liabilities decreased $76.8 million.  This decrease
was primarily comprised of a $163.4 million decrease in the average balance of
advances from the FHLB, somewhat offset by a $45.8 million increase in
interest-bearing deposits and a $42.0 million increase in securities sold
under agreements to repurchase.

    Provision for Loan Losses
    During each of the quarters ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, Coastal
recorded a provision for loan losses of $900,000.  At September 30, 2001,
Coastal had nonperforming loans totaling $22.7 million.  Nonperforming loans
are those loans on nonaccrual status as well as those loans greater than
ninety (90) days delinquent and still accruing interest.  Of the nonperforming
loans at September 30, 2001, $18.7 million, or 82%, were first lien
residential (single family) mortgage loans, $1.3 million were commercial real
estate loans, $882,000 were commercial financial and industrial loans with the
balance in the residential construction, multifamily real estate, acquisition
and development, consumer and other loan categories.  At September 30, 2001,
the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of nonperforming loans was
67.6% compared to 68.3% at December 31, 2000.

    Noninterest Income, Noninterest Expense and Provision for Federal Income
    Taxes
    The increase in noninterest income was primarily comprised of a
$275,000 increase in service charges on deposit accounts, a $130,000 increase
in loan fees and a $734,000 increase in the gain on sale of real estate owned,
somewhat offset by a $20,000 decrease in other noninterest income and a
$7,000 fair value loss on derivative instruments.  The increase in the gain on
sale of real estate owned was primarily due to the $603,000 (or 6.4 cents per
diluted share, after tax) gain on the sale of one real estate owned property
during the quarter ended September 30, 2001.  The increase in noninterest
expense was due to the $459,000 increase in compensation, payroll taxes and
other benefits, a $234,000 increase in other noninterest expense and a
$32,000 increase in data processing expense, partially offset by a $133,000
decrease in office occupancy and a $61,000 decrease in the amortization of
goodwill.  The provision for Federal income taxes increased $498,000 primarily
due to the increased income before Federal income taxes and minority interest.

    Comparison for the Nine Months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000
    Net income available to common stockholders for the first nine months of
2001 was $15.0 million compared to $13.0 million for the same period in 2000.
Diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 were
$2.47 compared to $2.12 for the same period last year.  The weighted average
common shares outstanding used in the diluted earnings per share calculations
for the periods were 6,069,170 and 6,110,021, respectively.
    The increase in net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2001
was comprised of the following compared to the same period in 2000:  a
$2.9 million increase in net interest income, a $1.9 million decrease in the
provision for loan losses, somewhat offset by a $1.1 million decrease in
noninterest income, a $499,000 increase in noninterest expense and a
$1.1 million increase in the provision for Federal income taxes.
    The increase in net interest income was due primarily to the increase in
net interest margin to 2.97% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 from
2.86% for the same period in 2000, which included a FHLB special dividend of
$1.1 million in 2000.  Net interest margin, excluding the FHLB special
dividend, was 2.81% for the nine months ended September 30, 2000.  The
decrease in noninterest income was primarily due to the $2.2 million gain
recorded on the sale of Coastal's mortgage servicing rights during the first
quarter of 2000, the related $244,000 decrease in loan servicing income in
2001 and the fair value loss on derivative instruments of $450,000 recorded in
2001 pursuant to the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 133 during the year.  The net fair value loss for the nine months ended
September 30, 2001 was primarily attributable to Coastal's interest rate swap
positions, which were liquidated in June 2001.  As of September 30, 2001,
Coastal's interest rate cap agreements were the only derivative instruments
recorded at fair value.  In addition, there were increases of $443,000,
$131,000, $693,000 and $467,000 in service charges on deposit accounts, loan
fees, gain on sale of real estate owned and other noninterest income,
respectively, comparing the two nine month periods.  The large increase in
other noninterest income was primarily due to $300,000 in insurance proceeds
received in 2001 for reimbursement of certain deposit account losses incurred
in prior years.  The increase in noninterest expense was due to a
$952,000 increase in compensation, payroll taxes and other benefits, partially
offset by a decrease of $296,000 in office occupancy and a $178,000 decrease
in the amortization of goodwill.
