ChoiceOne Financial Announces Earnings For Second Quarter 2017
Sparta, Michigan – July 26, 2017 – ChoiceOne Financial Services, Inc. (OTC:COFS), the parent company for ChoiceOne Bank, reported net income of $1,635,000 for the second quarter of 2017 compared to $1,445,000 in the same period in 2016, which represented an increase of 13%. Earnings per share were $0.47 in the second quarter of 2017 compared to an adjusted $0.41 in the second quarter of the prior year. Net income for the first six months of 2017 was $3,081,000 or $0.89 per share, compared to $2,719,000 or an adjusted $0.78 per share in the prior year. Per share amounts for the prior year have been adjusted for the 5% stock dividend paid on May 31, 2017.
“ChoiceOne continues to see record growth throughout our company” said Kelly Potes, President and Chief Executive Officer of ChoiceOne Financial Services, Inc. “Our growth has led to record earnings for a second quarter and the highest net income ever reported for the first six months of the year for ChoiceOne.”
Total assets as of June 30, 2017, grew to $630 million, compared to $618 million as of March 31, 2017 and $607 million as of December 31, 2016, which represented growth of $12.4 million and $22.7 million for the quarter and first six months of 2017, respectively. Net loans have grown $6.4 million since March 31, 2017 and $22.4 million since June 30, 2016. Loan growth and higher interest rates on new loans led to 2017 second quarter loan interest income of $4.4 million, which was $314,000 higher than the same period in 2016. Total deposits increased by $16.0 million or 3% from March 31, 2017 to June 30, 2017, which helped to fund loans.
ChoiceOne recorded $25,000 in a provision for loan losses during the second quarter of 2017 as a result of loan growth and net charge-offs experienced during the quarter. Although nonperforming loans were up slightly during the quarter, they were still lower than the balance as of December 31, 2016.
Mortgage sales volume, though higher in the second quarter of 2017 than the prior quarter, was lower in the current quarter and first half of 2017 than the same periods in 2016. This was primarily due to higher interest rates and a relatively low inventory of homes available for sale in ChoiceOne’s primary markets. This decline in mortgage fee income was partially offset by increases in customer service charges, insurance commissions, and earnings on life insurance policies in the second quarter of 2017 compared to the second quarter of 2016.
Total noninterest expense decreased $122,000 in the second quarter and $250,000 in the first six months of 2017 compared to the same periods in 2016, primarily due to lower amortization expenses, FDIC insurance costs, and recruiting expenses.

“ChoiceOne has been able to increase our earnings through growth in interest-earning assets and controlled expenses,” said Potes. “With our primary focus on our customers and partners, we are looking forward to continued growth throughout the remainder of 2017.”

“expects,” “forecasts,” “intends,” “is likely,” “plans,” “predicts,”
“projects,” “may,” “could,” “look forward,” “continue”, “future”
and variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Management’s

involve judgments that are inherently forward-looking. These statements reflect management’s current beliefs as to the expected
outcomes of future events and are not guarantees of future performance. These statements involve certain risks, uncertainties and
assumptions (“risk factors”) that are difficult to predict with regard to timing, extent, likelihood and degree of
occurrence. Therefore, actual results and outcomes may materially differ from what may be expressed, implied or forecasted in such
forward-looking statements. Furthermore, ChoiceOne undertakes no obligation to update, amend, or clarify forward-looking statements,
whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
