Consumers Bancorp, Inc. Reports:

 

 

Net income increased by $257 thousand, or 18.8%, to $1.6 million for the first six months of the 2017 fiscal year from the same period last year

 

Total loans increased by $8.5 million, or an annualized 6.7%, for the six-month period ended December 31, 2016

 

Non-performing loans declined to 0.60% of total loans at December 31, 2016

 

Minerva, Ohio— January 25, 2017 (OTCBB: CBKM) Consumers Bancorp, Inc. (Consumers) today reported net income of $722 thousand for the second fiscal quarter of 2017, an increase of $83 thousand, or 13.0%, from the same period last year. Earnings per share for the second fiscal quarter of 2017 were $0.27 compared to $0.23 for the same period last year.

 

For the six months ended December 31, 2016, net income was $1.6 million compared to $1.4 million for the same period last year. Net income has been positively impacted by the $433 thousand, or 6.3%, increase in net interest income which has primarily been a result of the $18.0 million increase in average interest-earning assets from the prior year period. Fiscal year-to-date net income per share was $0.60 compared to $0.50 for the same period last year.

 

Assets at December 31, 2016 totaled $441.4 million, an increase of $11.0 million, or an annualized 5.1%, from June 30, 2016. Loans increased by $8.5 million, or an annualized 6.7%, and deposits increased by $8.8 million, or an annualized 5.1% for the six-month period ended December 31, 2016.

 

“The bank continues to realize consistent growth in commercial loan and deposit balances. Annualized loan and deposit growth of 6.7% and 5.1%, respectively, has improved the bank’s asset mix and increased the loan to deposit ratio to 75%. We expect continued loan growth, a gradual increase in short and long term market rates, and a steepening yield curve will positively impact net interest income. For the first time in many years we are beginning to see higher repricing of yields on adjustable rate loans,” stated Ralph J. Lober, President and Chief Executive Officer. He added that, “improved asset quality metrics reflect stronger economic conditions and the resolution of problem credits.”

 

Net interest income for the second fiscal quarter of 2017 increased by $99 thousand compared to the same period last year, with interest income increasing by $128 thousand and interest expense increasing by $29 thousand. The net interest margin was 3.62% for the current quarter ended December 31, 2016, 3.87% for the previous quarter ended September 30, 2016 and 3.68% for the same period last year. The net interest margin for the three months ended September 30, 2016 was 3.68% excluding the interest income that was recognized as a result of the full payoff of two loan relationships that were on non-accrual. The Corporation’s yield on average interest-earning assets was 3.86% for the three months ended December 31, 2016, a decline from 3.90% for the same period last year. The Corporation’s cost of funds increased to 0.34% for the three months ended December 31, 2016 from 0.32% for the same period last year.

 

Other income increased by $75 thousand for the three-month period ended December 31, 2016 primarily as a result of increases in debit card interchange income, gains from the sale of mortgage loans and earnings on bank owned life insurance.

 

Other expenses increased by $120 thousand, or 3.7%, for the second fiscal quarter of 2017 from the same period last year primarily as a result of increases in occupancy and equipment expenses.

 

 
 

 

 

Non-performing loans were $1.6 million at December 31, 2016, compared with $6.0 million at June 30, 2016 and $3.6 million at December 31, 2015. Non-performing loans decreased from June 30, 2016 primarily as a result of the full payoff of two loan relationships with a recorded investment of $3.0 million and due to a partial charge-off of $700 thousand related to a commercial real estate credit in which a specific valuation allowance was recorded in the prior fiscal year. The allowance for loan losses (ALLL) as a percent of total loans at December 31, 2016 was 1.18% and annualized net charge-offs to total loans were 0.54% for the six-month period ended December 31, 2016 compared with an ALLL to loans ratio of 1.06% and an annualized net charge-off ratio of 0.13% for the same period last year.
