Minerva, Ohio— July 26, 2018 (OTCQB: CBKM) Consumers Bancorp, Inc. (Consumers) today reported net income of $1.1 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2018, an increase of $277 thousand, or 34.4%, from the same period last year. Earnings per share for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2018 were $0.40 compared to $0.30 for the same period last year.

 

For the twelve months ended June 30, 2018, net income was $3.6 million, an increase of $587 thousand, or 19.6%, from the same period last year. Net income was positively impacted by a $1.4 million, or 9.9%, increase in net interest income, which was primarily the result of a $33.6 million increase in average interest-earning assets from the prior year period.

 

Assets at June 30, 2018 totaled $502.6 million, an increase of $44.7 million, or 9.8%, from June 30, 2017. Loans increased by $45.6 million, or 16.7%, and deposits increased by $55.5 million, or 14.8% for the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2018. During the quarter ended June 30, 2018, the nature of some of our public fund deposit account relationships changed. As a result, $21.2 million in public funds previously reported as other interest-bearing liabilities are now reported as deposit accounts. If not for this change, deposits would have increased by $34.3 million, or 9.2%, for the 12-month period ended June 30, 2018 compared to June 30, 2017.

 

Net interest income for the twelve months ended June 30, 2018 increased by $1.4 million compared to the same period last year, with interest income increasing by $2.0 million and interest expense increasing by $563 thousand. The increase in interest income was primarily the result of a $33.6 million increase in average interest-earning assets from the 2017 fiscal year. The net interest margin was 3.67% for the 2018 fiscal year and 3.69% for the 2017 fiscal year. The Corporation’s yield on average interest-earning assets was 4.04% for the current fiscal year compared with 3.96% for the prior fiscal year. The Corporation’s cost of funds increased to 0.52% for the current fiscal year from 0.38% for the prior fiscal year.

 

“Significant increases in net interest income and noninterest income as well as improved asset quality resulted in a 30% increase in fiscal 2018 pre-tax earnings. An increase in commercial lending and mortgage activity contributed to the strong increase in core earnings. In addition, near record low nonperforming assets and continued low loan delinquencies contributed to a 48% decrease in the provision for loan loss expense for the 12-month period ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the previous 12-month period. Strategies implemented to improve core earnings drivers and a significant increase in new customers and deposits are positively impacting earnings,” said Ralph J. Lober, II, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Further, while the quarterly and year-end federal tax provision was higher in fiscal year 2018, the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 resulted in a lower statutory federal tax rate in fiscal year 2018 and is expected to result in a further reduction in fiscal year 2019, when the full benefit of the tax rate decrease will be realized,” he continued.

 

 

 

 

Other income increased by $141 thousand, or 4.3%, for the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2018 compared to the same prior year period primarily as a result of increases in debit card interchange income and gains from the sale of mortgage loans. These increases were partially offset by a decline in gains from the sale of securities.

 

Other expenses increased by $759 thousand, or 5.6%, for the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2018 compared to the same prior year period primarily as a result of increases in salary and incentive expenses.

 

Non-performing loans were $1.1 million for both June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017. The allowance for loan losses (ALLL) as a percent of total loans at June 30, 2018 was 1.07% and a net recovery of $25 thousand was recorded for the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2018 compared with an ALLL to loans ratio of 1.13% and net charge-offs of $1.1 million for the same period last year.
