Old Line Bancshares, Inc. Reports Third Quarter Results

BOWIE, Md., Oct. 30, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- James W. Cornelsen, President and Chief Executive Officer of Old Line Bancshares, Inc. (Nasdaq:OLBK), the parent company of Old Line Bank, reported that net income was $328,539 or $0.08 per basic and diluted common share for the three month period ending September 30, 2007, compared to $416,624 or $0.10 per basic and diluted common share for the same period in 2006. Net income for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 was $1,063,741 or $0.25 per basic and diluted common share. This represented a decrease of $143,078 or 11.86% compared to net income of $1,206,819 or $0.28 per basic and diluted common share for the nine months ended September 30, 2006.

Total assets increased $21.1 million or 9.67% to $239.2 million on September 30, 2007 compared to the December 31, 2006 level of $218.1 million. Additionally, for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007, total loans grew 25.07% or $37.7 million to $188.1 million and total deposits at the third quarter end were $179.7 million which represented a $10.0 million or 5.89% increase. Customer deposits in overnight Master Notes, which are included in short term borrowings, also increased 158% or $11.4 million to $18.6 million at September 30, 2007 from $7.2 million at December 31, 2006.

Mr. Cornelsen stated: "Despite the challenging interest rate and economic environment, I am pleased to report sound financial performance for the first nine months and the third quarter of 2007. During 2007, we experienced considerable loan growth and continued to maintain the quality in our loan portfolio. We ended the quarter with one non-performing loan in the amount of $126,000 and no other loans past due more than 90 days. We anticipate we will receive full payment of this loan in the 4th quarter of 2007 or early in 2008. As a result of the growth in the loan portfolio, we increased the loan loss provision $94,000 during the three month period to $120,000 compared to $26,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 2006. We also incurred a full quarter of the expenses associated with the operations of our new Greenbelt branch that we opened in June 2007. At period end, deposits in this branch totaled $10.7 million.

"High gasoline prices and an anemic economy negatively impacted the performance of the marine division and this division posted a $56,000 pre-tax loss during the quarter as compared to a $16,337 pre-tax loss during the same period in 2006. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2007, the marine division posted a $122,000 pre-tax loss compared to a $30,000 pre-tax loss for the nine month period ended September 30, 2006. Because of the losses in this division and because we do not foresee an imminent improvement in the marine industry, in September 2007, we closed this division and released the employees associated with it. There will be minimal severance costs associated with closing this division because most of the employees were paid on commission."

As expected, the opening of the Greenbelt and Bowie branches in June 2007 and July 2006, respectively and the establishment of our new headquarters in July 2006 caused a $410,218 or 91.03% increase in occupancy and equipment costs during the nine month period and a $52,532 or 20.58% increase during the three month period. As a result of the staffing requirements for the new Greenbelt and Bowie branches, the new loan officers hired in the 3rd quarter of 2006 and the 2nd quarter of 2007, and additions to corporate staff in 2007, salaries and benefit expenses increased $618,782 or 24.39% during the nine month period and $171,064 or 18.67% during the three month period. We anticipate that we will begin to realize the benefits from these investments in infrastructure during the fourth quarter of 2007. We plan to continue to identify and establish new branch locations that will support our long term growth plans. In 2008, we plan to open our 7th and 8th branches in College Park, Maryland and in Fairwood Office Park in Bowie, Maryland.

At September 30, 2007, the allowance for loan losses was $1.5 million or 0.78% of gross loans compared to $1.3 million or 0.85% of gross loans at December 31, 2006. For the prior seven years, we had no non-performing loans and minimal past dues and charge-offs. Based on our history, internal analysis and the satisfactory historical performance of the loan portfolio, we believe this allowance appropriately reflects the inherent risk of loss in our portfolio.

As we have previously discussed, rising interest rates, competitive pressures and the decline in the real estate market, have made it a challenge for our industry to attract and retain deposits and maintain historical net interest margins. Although the net interest margin stabilized and remained at the 3.95% reported June 30, 2007, we experienced compression in the net interest margin from 4.39% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 to 3.95% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. This was primarily a result of the change in the mix of deposits as average interest earning deposits represented a higher percentage of total deposits than they had in prior periods. In spite of this compression in the margin, primarily because of a $45.5 million or 37.89% growth in average gross loans outstanding to $165.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 from $120.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we were able to increase net interest income $736,702 or 13.82% during the first nine months of 2007 compared to the first nine months of 2006 and $231,315 or 12.25% for the third quarter of 2007 compared to the same quarter of 2006.
