MutualFirst Announces First Quarter 2011 Results
MUNCIE, Ind.,April 21, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- MutualFirst Financial, Inc. (NASDAQ: MFSF), the holding company of MutualBank (the "Bank"), announced today a net loss to common shareholders for the first quarter ended March 31, 2011 of $1.1 million, or a loss of $.17 for basic and diluted earnings per common share. This compared to net income available for common shareholder for the same period in 2010 of $893,000, or $.13 for basic and diluted earnings per common share. Annualized return on assets was negative .19% and
return on average tangible common equity was negative 4.86% for the first quarter of 2011 compared to .37% and 3.87% respectively, for the same period of last year.
The loss was directly related to a provision for loan losses in the first quarter of 2011 of $4.2 million compared to $1.5 million in the first quarter of 2010. This $2.7 million increase was due to $4.8 million in net charge offs primarily related to loans previously identified as problem loans. "The first quarter earnings result was disappointing, but the reduction in problem assets was a positive," said David W. Heeter, President and CEO. "The value of underlying real estate collateral for our previously identified troubled loans has continued to decline, creating the need for recognition of losses. However, we have not seen additional significant increases in troubled assets, which is encouraging."
Other financial highlights for the first quarter ended March 31, 2011 included:
Heeter commented, "We continue to do the right things to position ourselves for the future. Finding ways to increase non-interest income and to reduce non-interest expense continues to be a focus. This will continue to be a challenge as new regulatory changes will affect our operations in the future."
Balance Sheet
Assets increased $40.3 million as of March 31, 2011 compared to December 31, 2010, primarily due to the increase in cash and cash equivalents and investments securities by $76.8 million. The increase in investment securities were in shorter term government agency mortgage backed securities and the increase was primarily due to decreased loan balances and increased deposits. Loans, including loans held for sale, decreased $39.2 million as loan demand was weak in all loan segments in the first quarter of 2011.
Deposits increased by $52.9 million as the Bank continues to see increased activity in all of its markets for core deposit relationships. The increase in deposits has been primarily in core transactional accounts which increased $40.4 million and certificates of deposit increased $12.5 million in the first quarter of 2011. Core transactional deposits increased to 42% of the Bank's total deposits as of March 31, 2011 compared to 40% as of December 31, 2010. The increase in deposits allowed the Bank to retire higher rate maturing debt, mainly FHLB advances, of $14.0 million in the first quarter of 2011. Heeter commented, "We are pleased with our deposit growth and believe it is a result of our ability to provide desired core services in all of our markets."
Allowance for loan losses decreased by $575,000 to $15.8 million as of March 31, 2011 primarily due to $4.8 million in net charge offs, or 1.94% of loans on an annualized basis, offset by a provision of $4.2 million. A majority of the $4.8 million in net charge offs, or 1.94% of total loans on an annualized basis were previously identified as problem loans and reserves had been established for those loans. This compared to net charge offs for the first quarter of 2010 of $1.3 million, or .49% of total loans on an annualized basis. The allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans as of March 31, 2011 decreased to 52.99% compared to 60.77% as of March 31, 2010, but increased from 42.16% on a linked quarter basis. The allowance for loan losses to total loans as of March 31, 2011 was 1.64%, an increase from 1.59% as of March 31, 2010 and the same as December 31, 2010. Heeter continued, "We believe our allowance for loan losses is prudent with the continued risk in the economy. We do not believe releasing all of the reserves as a result of this quarter's charge offs would be advisable in the current economic environment."
Stockholders' equity was $131.0 million at March 31, 2011, a decrease of $168,000 from December 31, 2010. The decrease was due primarily to a net loss of $693,000, dividend payments of $419,000 to common shareholders and $405,000 to preferred shareholders. The net loss and dividend payments were partially offset by increases in unrealized gains on securities of $1.2 million. The Company's tangible book value per share as of March 31, 2011 increased to $13.51 compared to $13.49 as of December 31, 2010 and tangible common equity ratio was 6.72% as of March 31, 2011 compared to 6.93% as of December 31, 2010. The decrease in tangible common equity ratio was primarily due to the $40.3 million of growth in total assets. The Bank's risk-based capital ratio was well in excess of "well-capitalized" levels as defined by all regulatory standards as of March 31, 2011.
Income Statement
Net interest income before the provision for loan losses decreased $173,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 compared to the
same period in 2010. The decrease was a result of the decline in the net interest margin from 3.18% in the first quarter of 2010 to 3.14% in the first quarter of 2011 and the decline in average earning assets of $4.0 million. On a linked basis, net interest income before the provision for loan losses increased $93,000 as net interest margin increased by 4 basis points; however average earning assets declined by $3.2 million.
The provision for loan losses for the first quarter of 2011 increased to $4.2 million compared to $1.5 million during last year's comparable period. The increase was primarily due to net charge offs of $4.8 million in the first quarter of 2011. The charge offs were for previously identified problem loans that were mostly collateralized by real estate. Non-performing loans to total loans at March 31, 2011 were 3.09% compared to 3.90% at
December 31, 2010. This decrease in non-performing loans was in all segments of our portfolio; however this decrease was primarily due to a decrease in restructured loans and in one-to four-family residential loans. Non-performing assets to total assets were 2.69% at March 31, 2011 compared to 3.20% at December 31, 2010. "We believe that our allowance for loan losses adequately reflects the risk in our portfolio as we move forward and the current risk in the economy," Heeter added.
Non-interest income for the first quarter of 2011 was $2.9 million a decrease of $220,000 compared to the first quarter of 2010. Regulatory changes on overdrafts in July of 2010 resulted in the Company's reduced service charges on deposit accounts by $136,000 in the first quarter of 2011 compared to the first quarter of 2010. The weak loan demand has also resulted in fewer opportunities for loan sales and a reduction of $262,000 in gain compared to the first quarter of 2010. The investment portfolio provided $173,000 more in non-interest income as other-than-temporary impairment charges were reduced by $384,000. This improvement was offset by a reduction in gain on investment sales in $211,000 when comparing the first quarter of 2011 with 2010.
Non-interest expense increased $141,000 when comparing the first quarter of 2011 with that of 2010. Salaries and benefits increased by $187,000 in the first quarter of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. This increase was primarily due to less compensation deferrals because of decreased loan production and significant increases in unemployment taxes paid to local and federal governments during the first part of the year. The increased deposit base also increased federal deposit insurance premiums by $62,000 in the first quarter of 2011 when compared to the first quarter 2010. Software subscriptions and maintenance decreased by $79,000 in the first quarter of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 to partially offset some of the increases in non-interest expense.
