Porter Bancorp, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2014 Results
First Quarter 2014 Net Loss Attributable to Common Shareholders of $976,000
LOUISVILLE, Ky.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 30, 2014--Porter Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: PBIB), parent company of PBI Bank, with 18 full-service banking centers in Kentucky, today reported unaudited results for the first quarter of 2014.
The Company reported that the net loss attributable to common shareholders decreased to $976,000, or ($0.08) per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2014 compared to a net loss of $1,028,000, or ($0.09) per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2013 and increased compared to the net loss of $524,000, or ($0.04) per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2013.
Our primary initiatives for 2014 are to continue reducing non-performing assets, restore capital, and return to sustainable profitability while continuing to serve our customers and developing new quality financial relationships.
First Quarter 2014 Financial Performance Highlights
Non-performing loans decreased to $77.3 million, or 11.33% of total loans, at March 31, 2014, compared with $102.0 million, or 14.38% of total loans, at December 31, 2013. The decline was primarily driven by $16.9 million of nonaccrual loans migrating to OREO, $10.2 million in principal payments received on nonaccrual loans, and $2.7 million of net charge-offs.
Non-performing loans and OREO remain at elevated levels and continue to negatively impact financial performance.

In addition to nonaccrual loans and OREO, loans classified as Troubled Debt Restructures (TDRs) and on accrual totaled $41.8 million at March 31, 2014, compared to $44.3 million at December 31, 2013 and $55.2 million at March 31, 2013.

Fair value write-downs arising from new appraisals or lower marketing prices totaled $250,000 in the first quarter of 2014, compared with $882,000 in the fourth quarter of 2013 and $307,000 in the first quarter of 2013.
Management and the Board of Directors continue to evaluate appropriate strategies for increasing the Company’s capital in order to meet the capital requirements of the Consent Order. These include, among other things, a possible public offering or private placement of common stock to new and existing shareholders. As previously announced, the Company has engaged a financial advisor to assist the Board of Directors in this evaluation.
