Consumers Bancorp, Inc. Reports:

 

 

Net income increased by 3.1% to $929 thousand, or $0.34 per share, for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from the same period last year

 

Total loans increased by $14.9 million and deposits increased by $9.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from June 30, 2017

 

Non-performing loans declined to $980 thousand, 0.34% of total loans, as of September 30, 2017

 

Minerva, Ohio— October 18, 2017 (OTCBB: CBKM) Consumers Bancorp, Inc. (Consumers) today reported net income of $929 thousand for the first fiscal quarter of 2018, an increase of $28 thousand, or 3.1%, from the same period last year. Earnings per share for the first fiscal quarter of 2018 were $0.34 compared to $0.33 for the same period last year. Net income for the first fiscal quarter of 2018 was positively impacted by a $59 thousand increase in net interest income and a $46 thousand decrease in provision for loan losses expense. Net interest income increased primarily due to growth of $30.5 million in average interest-earning assets.

 

Assets at September 30, 2017 totaled $471.6 million, an increase of $13.8 million, or an annualized 12.0%, from June 30, 2017. Loans increased by $14.9 million, or an annualized 21.8%, and deposits increased by $9.4 million, or an annualized 10.0% from June 30, 2017.

 

Ralph J. Lober, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We are pleased that 2017 fiscal year loan and deposit growth, as well as mortgage production, has continued into the first fiscal quarter of 2018. The bank’s loan-to-deposit ratio continues its upward trend, increasing 2.3 percentage points since June 2017. The increase demonstrates the success of our investments in commercial, mortgage, and deposit sales staff and entry into new markets are showing results throughout our six-county market area. We expect current prospects in the sales and closing process will translate into continued loan growth. Commercial and residential mortgage production, along with very strong asset quality metrics, will likely have a positively impact on net interest income and noninterest income. While first fiscal quarter of 2018 results portray significant improvement in core earnings, we continue to review all systems and processes to ensure that our community banking philosophy is delivered in the most secure, efficient and professional manner possible.”

 

The net interest margin was 3.63% for the quarter ended September 30, 2017, 3.65% for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 and was 3.87% for the quarter ended September 30, 2016. The Corporation’s yield on average interest-earning assets was 3.96% for the three months ended September 30, 2017, a decrease from 4.10% for the same period last year. The Corporation’s cost of funds was 0.46% for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 0.34% for the same period last year. The net interest margin and the yield on average interest-earning assets for the three months ended September 30, 2016 were positively impacted by $191 thousand recognized in interest income as a result of the full payoff of two loan relationships that were on non-accrual. Excluding the interest income recognized on the non-accrual loans, the net interest margin would have been 3.68% and the yield on average interest-earning assets would have been 3.92% for the quarter ended September 30, 2016.

 

Other income increased by $24 thousand, or 2.8%, to $872 thousand for the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 compared with $848 thousand for the same period last year. Other income for the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 included a $38 thousand gain from the sale of securities compared with a $103 thousand gain for the same prior year period. Excluding the securities gains, non-interest income increased by $89 thousand, or 11.9%, primarily as a result of increases in debit card interchange income and bank owned life insurance income.

 

Other expenses increased by $107 thousand, or 3.3%, for the first fiscal quarter of 2018 from the same period last year. The increase in other expenses was primarily the result of an increase in salary and benefit expenses and debit card interchange expenses.

 

 

 

 

Non-performing loans were $980 thousand at September 30, 2017, compared with $1.2 million at June 30, 2017 and $2.4 million at September 30, 2016. The allowance for loan losses (ALLL) as a percent of total loans at September 30, 2017 was 1.11% and annualized net recoveries to total loans were 0.02% for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared with an ALLL to loans ratio of 1.41% and an annualized net charge-off ratio of 0.03% for the same period last year.
