Minerva, Ohio — October 21, 2021 (OTCQX: CBKM) Consumers Bancorp, Inc. (Consumers) today reported net income of $2.7 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2022, an increase of $264 thousand, or 11.0%, from the same period last year. Earnings per share for the first quarter of fiscal year 2022 were $0.88 compared to $0.80 for the same period last year. Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was positively impacted by a $1.3 million, or 19.1%, increase in net interest income, which was partially offset by a $1.0 million, or 21.5%, increase in other expenses from the same prior year period.

On July 16, 2021, the acquisition of two branches from CFBank, National Association located in Calcutta and Wellsville, Ohio was completed. As part of the acquisition, $104.5 million of branch deposits were assumed for a 1.75% deposit premium and $15.6 million in subordinated debt securities issued by unrelated financial institutions and $19.9 million in loans were purchased. In relation to the acquisition, goodwill of $1.6 million was recorded.

“The strong quarterly earnings announced today reflect significant asset growth and increases in all business segments and product lines. The quarterly results reflect significant loan growth that offset a $21.1 million decrease in Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan balances. During the quarter we integrated the two acquired Columbiana County branches into our systems and have expanded business development efforts in the new markets reaching new retail, commercial, and mortgage customers and increasing our banking relationships with existing clients in southern Columbiana County. We are also experiencing steady loan demand across our existing markets and within each product line,” said Ralph J. Lober II, President and Chief Executive Officer. He continued with, the bank’s low delinquency and charge-off metrics continue to reflect our borrowers’ ability to pay throughout this pandemic. We are closely monitoring the impact of the ongoing pandemic on our customers’ financial condition and banking habits,” he concluded.

Operating Results Overview

Net income increased to $2.7 million, or $0.88 per share, for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to $2.4 million, or $0.80 per share, for the same period in 2020.

Net interest income increased by $1.3 million, or 19.1%, for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same period last year, with interest income increasing by $989 thousand and interest expense decreasing by $290 thousand. The net interest margin was 3.62% for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, 3.44% for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, and 3.84% for the quarter ended September 30, 2020. Interest income was positively impacted by the recognition of fees on PPP loans that were forgiven during the quarter. The PPP loans had an average balance of $42.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022 and during this same period, $997 thousand of interest and fee income was recognized on the PPP loans. The yield on average interest-earning assets was 3.78% for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 compared with 4.21% for the same prior year period. Interest expense was positively impacted by the reduction in deposit and borrowing costs as a result of lower market interest rates. The cost of funds decreased to 0.23% for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 from 0.54% for the same prior year period.

The provision for loan losses was $190 thousand for the three-month period ended September 30, 2021, compared with $130 thousand for the same period last year. The loan loss provision expense of $190 thousand recorded in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022 was primarily due to the growth within the loan portfolio. Net recoveries of $16 thousand were recorded for the three-month period ended September 30, 2021.

Other income increased by $132 thousand for the three-month period ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same prior year period primarily due to debit card interchange income increasing by $53 thousand, or 11.6%, service charges on deposit accounts increasing by $51 thousand, or 16.6%, and gains on the sale of mortgage loans increasing by $22 thousand, or 9.3%, from the same prior year period.

Other expenses increased by $1.0 million, or 21.5%, for the three-month period ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same prior year period. Increases in salaries, incentives, employee benefits, director, marketing and advertising expenses contributed to the increase in other expenses for the three-month period ended September 30, 2021.
