HomeTown Bankshares Corporation Reports Record Earnings through the Third Quarter of 2013
Roanoke, VA (October 25, 2013) – HomeTown Bankshares Corporation, the parent company of HomeTown Bank, generated record earnings for the third quarter ended September 30, 2013 contributing to a 74% increase in earnings from operations for the first nine months of 2013.
A net profit of $772,000 or $0.09 per diluted common share was realized for the third quarter of 2013 compared to a net profit of $584,000 or $0.13 per diluted common share for the third quarter of 2012. Net income for the first nine months of 2013 grew 74% to $1.94 million or $0.33 per diluted common share vs. net income of $1.11 million or $0.20 per diluted common share earned during the first nine months of 2012. For comparison purposes, the 2012 results exclude the one-time deferred tax benefit of $2.93 million realized on January 1, 2012. Deferred tax assets represent future potential tax deductions that result from timing differences between tax laws and generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The recognition of deferred tax assets added $.90 per share for total earnings of $1.10 per common share for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.
Non-interest income increased to $318,000 in the 3rd quarter of 2013 and $1.09 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 vs. $311,000 and $979,000, respectively, during the same periods of 2012. The primary growth in non-interest income was from revenue generated from a significant increase in core checking account growth during 2013. This growth in revenue was reduced somewhat by a decrease in mortgage income during the third quarter and year-to-date – a nationwide trend due to an uptick in interest rates during the quarter and a corresponding drop in the mortgage refinancing business.
“We are very pleased with the strong growth in our earnings for the first nine months of 2013, stated Susan Still, President and CEO. In spite of a sluggish economic recovery, we have grown our loan portfolio very competitively during the year and maintained a strong net interest margin during a protracted period of low interest rates,” she continued. “In addition, a meaningful reduction in our loan loss provision due to stronger loan quality also contributed to core earnings growth during 2013,” stated Still.
Balance Sheet
Total assets grew to $385.1 million at September 30, 2013 from $370.5 million at December 31, 2012. Loan growth continued to improve during the first nine months of 2013, increasing from $274.9 million at December 31, 2012 to $287.3 million at September 30, 2013. Total Deposits also grew during the same period from $310.0 million at December 31, 2012 to $325.4 million at September 30, 2013. Total non-interest bearing deposits increased 33% from $32.6 million to $43.4 million during the first nine months of 2013 while higher cost interest bearing deposits increased from $277.4 million to $282.0 million. Strong checking account growth and lower cost funding were major contributors to the improved earnings and net interest margin for the first nine months of 2013.
With the Company’s $14 million capital raise that closed on June 28, 2013, $10.4 million of the proceeds were used to repay TARP in full during the 3rd quarter of 2013. The capital ratios improved, accordingly, and remained well above regulatory standards for well-capitalized banks through September 30, 2013.
Asset Quality
Loan quality continued to improve significantly during the first nine months of 2013 with the level of nonperforming loans dropping from $1.09 million or 0.41% of Total Loans at September 30, 2012 to $801,000 or 0.28% of Total Loans at September 30, 2013. Other Real Estate Owned (OREO) also decreased 17% or $1.7 million from $10.1 million at September 30, 2012 to $8.4 million at September 30, 2013. Nonperforming assets, including OREO, to total assets improved from 3.03% at September 30, 2012 to 2.39% at September 30, 2013.
In addition, net charge-offs thru September 30, 2013 dropped over 80% to $231,000 or 0.09% of Total Loans from $1.5 million or .56% of Total Loans during the first nine months of 2012. The Company’s Allowance for Loan Losses dropped accordingly at September 30, 2013 and totaled $3.68 million or 1.28% of Total Loans vs. $3.9 million and 1.46% of Total Loans at September 30, 2012.
“Strong progress has been made in improving and stabilizing our asset quality,” stated Still. “With a significant reduction in non-performing loans during the first nine months of 2013, our continued emphasis will be on prudently reducing the level of bank owned real estate,” she continued.
HomeTown Bank offers a full range of banking services to small and medium-size businesses, real estate investors and developers, private investors, professionals and individuals. The Bank serves the Roanoke and New River Valleys and Smith Mountain Lake through five branches and a loan production office. A high level of responsive and professional service coupled with local decision-making is the hallmark of its banking strategy.
