Minerva, Ohio— April 18, 2019 (OTCQX: CBKM) Consumers Bancorp, Inc. (Consumers) reported net income of $1.0 million for the third fiscal quarter of 2019, an increase of $122 thousand, or 13.4%, from the same period last year. Earnings per share for the third fiscal quarter of 2019 were $0.38 compared to $0.33 for the same period last year.

 

For the nine months ended March 31, 2019, net income was $4.6 million an increase of $2.1 million, or 82.4%, from the same period last year. Net income for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 was positively impacted by a negative provision for loan loss expense of $555 thousand and a net gain on sale of securities of $561 thousand. In addition, net income was positively impacted by a $1.2 million, or 10.6%, increase in net interest income which was the result of a $39.8 million increase in average interest-earning assets from the prior year period combined with an increase in the yield on interest-earning assets.

 

Assets at March 31, 2019 totaled $528.4 million, an increase of $25.8 million, or an annualized 6.8%, from June 30, 2018. Loans increased by $29.0 million, or an annualized 12.1%, and deposits increased by $29.3 million, or an annualized 9.1% from June 30, 2018.

 

“Consumers National Bank is growing because of continued investments in our sales processes and delivery channels and through clearly defining and delivering on the community bank difference. Our business bankers, mortgage originators, and retail staff across our markets continue to identify opportunities and win business by executing a consultative approach to customer relationships and by understanding the specific needs of each community and customer,” said Ralph J. Lober, II, President and Chief Executive Officer. “These efforts are reflected in a $44.0 million, or 14.5%, increase in gross loans outstanding and a $55.2 million, or 13.7%, increase in deposit over the twelve months ended March 31, 2019. Further, residential mortgage production for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 increased 29% over the same prior year period. Low nonaccrual and loan delinquencies continue to reflect strong economic activity and employment levels; however, the flattening, and at times, inverted yield curve continues to reduce the expected increase in net interest income and margin,” he added.

 

Net interest income for the third fiscal quarter of 2019 increased by $275 thousand, or 6.9%, compared to the same period last year. The net interest margin was 3.57% for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 and 3.72% for the quarter ended March 31, 2018. The Corporation’s yield on average interest-earning assets was 4.30% for the three months ended March 31, 2019, an increase from 4.11% for the same period last year. The Corporation’s cost of funds was 1.00% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 0.54% for the same period last year.

 

 

 

 

Other income increased by $58 thousand, or 7.2%, to $860 thousand for the third quarter of fiscal year 2019 compared with $802 thousand for the same period last year. The increase in other income for the third quarter of fiscal year 2019 was primarily a result of increases in service charges on deposit accounts and debit card interchange income.

 

Other expenses increased by $231 thousand, or 6.5%, for the third fiscal quarter of 2019 from the same period last year. The increase in other expenses was primarily the result of an increase in salary and benefit expenses.

 

Non-performing loans were $817 thousand at March 31, 2019, $1.1 million at June 30, 2018 and $825 thousand at March 31, 2018. The allowance for loan losses (ALLL) as a percent of total loans at March 31, 2019 was 1.05% and net recoveries totaled $789 thousand for the nine months ended March 31, 2019. The ALLL to loans ratio was 1.10% at March 31, 2018 and annualized net charge-offs to total loans were 0.01% for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2018.
