7FEB201322100699 Dear Fellow Shareholder: On behalf of the Board of Directors and our management team, I am pleased to present our first Annual Report to Shareholders of Westbury Bancorp, Inc., the parent company of Westbury Bank. At September 30, 2013, we had total assets of $ 543.3 million and total equity of $90.6 million. We had net income of $938,000 for the year ended September 30, 2013, compared to a loss of $3.7 million for the year ended September 30, 2012, an increase of $4.6 million. Our results for 2013 included a one‐time contribution of $1.0 million to the Westbury Bank Charitable Foundation as had been contemplated in our Plan of Conversion. Without the effect of the contribution, earnings for the year ended September 30, 2013, were $1.6 million compared to a loss of $3.7 million for the prior year. We are extremely delighted with the success of our oversubscribed stock offering, completed April 9, 2013, which raised $50.9 million of capital from our depositors. The additional capital will allow us to grow within our footprint, satisfy the demand for commercial loans within that footprint and improve service and new products through our branch office network in Washington and Waukesha counties. Over the past few years, we have been focused on restructuring the balance sheet by reducing non‐performing assets and other performing loans which do not meet our current credit risk tolerance. We believe that with solid credit risk management procedures in place, coupled with the experienced commercial lenders we have added in the last 18 months, we are properly positioned for prudent future loan growth. Also as a new stock company, management has turned its attention to reviewing all aspects of the Bank’s operations with a focus on improving financial performance in order to maximize long term stockholder value. We continue to be successful in adding new management staff with commercial and retail banking experience that will position the Company for growth and to assist in realigning our infrastructure to improve overall efficiency and earnings. We recently promoted Greg Remus, our Senior Vice President of Lending, to Chief Operating Officer. In his expanded role, Greg will be responsible for improving our overall financial performance, while allowing me to focus on long term strategic matters, capital management strategies and improving long term shareholder value. We are very appreciative of the confidence and trust you have placed in us and of the hard work of our staff and Board of Directors this past year as we continue to transition from a mutual organization to public stock company. Sincerely, Raymond Lipman President, CEO and Chairman UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION Washington, D.C. 20549 FORM 10-K ANNUAL REPORT PURSUANT TO SECTION 13 OR 15(d) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934 For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013.
