Minerva, Ohio— January 16, 2020 (OTCQX: CBKM) Consumers Bancorp, Inc. (Consumers) today reported net income of $1.4 million for the second quarter of fiscal year 2020 compared with $1.8 million for the second quarter of fiscal year 2019. The annualized return on average equity was 10.66% and the annualized return on average assets was 1.01% for the second quarter of fiscal year 2020. Net income for the second quarter of fiscal year 2019 was positively impacted by a negative provision for loan loss expense of $775 thousand primarily as a result of net recoveries of $806 thousand that were collected during the three months ended December 31, 2018.

Assets at December 31, 2019 totaled $574.6 million, an increase of $20.6 million, or an annualized 7.5%, from June 30, 2019. Loans increased by $27.2 million, or an annualized 14.7%, and deposits increased by $15.5 million, or an annualized 6.6%, for the six-month period ended December 31, 2019.

Net interest income for the three months ended December 31, 2019 increased by $422 thousand, or 9.6%, compared to the same period last year, with interest income increasing by $715 thousand and interest expense increasing by $293 thousand. The increase in interest income was primarily the result of a $53.6 million increase in average interest-earning assets from the three months ended December 31, 2018. The net interest margin was 3.62% for the quarter ended December 31, 2019, 3.61% for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 and 3.69% for the quarter ended December 31, 2018.

“I believe strong balance sheet growth, excellent credit quality, and noninterest expense control each contributed to our second quarter of fiscal year 2020 results. Annualized loan growth of 14.7% continues the growth that that the bank reported last fiscal year and reflects increases in each of the commercial, residential mortgage and consumer loan portfolios. Low net charge-offs and declining nonperforming assets; now at 0.07%, continue the trend of low loan loss provision and collection expenses which, along with other operation cost reductions, is reflected in the 1.4% increase in noninterest expenses and declining efficiency ratio,” said Ralph J. Lober II, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We are also pleased that the previously announced merger of The Peoples National Bank of Mount Pleasant has now closed. Our staff is working to expand the product offerings and sales efforts in Ohio’s Jefferson, Harrison, and Belmont counties.”

Other income increased by $81 thousand for the three-month period ended December 31, 2019 compared to the same prior year period. Within other income for the three months ended December 31, 2019, service charges on deposit accounts increased by $39 thousand, or 12.1%, and debit card interchange income increased by $15 thousand, or 4.1%, from the same prior year period.

Other expenses increased by $55 thousand, or 1.4%, for the three-month period ended December 31, 2019 compared to the same prior year period.

Non-performing loans were $428 thousand at December 31, 2019, $786 thousand at June 30, 2019 and $900 thousand at December 31, 2018. The allowance for loan losses (ALLL) as a percent of total loans at December 31, 2019 was 1.02% and net charge-offs of $8 thousand were recorded for the six-month period ended December 31, 2019 compared with an ALLL to loans ratio of 1.07% at December 31, 2018 and net recoveries of $806 thousand for the same period last year.
