Ohio Valley Banc Corp. Reports 2nd Quarter Earnings
GALLIPOLIS, Ohio - Ohio Valley Banc Corp. [Nasdaq: OVBC] (the “Company”) reported consolidated net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, of $1,471,000, an increase of 5.4 percent from the $1,396,000 earned for the second quarter of 2009. Earnings per share for the second quarter of 2010 were $.37, up 5.7 percent from the prior year second quarter. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, net income totaled $3,377,000, a 2.0 percent decrease from net income of $3,447,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Earnings per share were $.85 for the first six months of 2010 versus $.86 for the first six months of 2009, a decrease of 1.2 percent. Return on average assets and return on average equity was .80 percent and 10.15 percent, respectively, for the first half of 2010, as compared to .85 percent and 10.86 percent, respectively, for the same period in the prior year.
Net interest income, the Company’s largest revenue source, increased $1,204,000, or 7.7 percent, for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period last year. The second quarter 2010 net interest income was up $875,000, or 12.0 percent, from the second quarter of 2009. The increase in net interest income was attributable to an increase in both average earning assets and net interest margin. For the first half of 2010, average earning assets increased $21,450,000, or 2.8 percent, from the first half of 2009. The growth occurred primarily in commercial loans. The net interest margin for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was 4.29 percent, compared to 4.09 percent for the same period the prior year. The net interest margin for the second quarter of 2010 was 4.23 percent, compared to 3.78 percent for the second quarter of 2009. Contributing to the net interest margin improvement was the deployment of short-term assets into higher yielding assets, such as loans and securities. Furthermore, the low interest rate environment has permitted our cost of funds to continue to decline. Management was pleased with the enhanced net interest margin, especially in this economic environment.
Offsetting the growth in revenue from net interest income was the decrease in noninterest income. Noninterest income totaled $3,389,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $3,839,000 for the same period last year, a decrease of $450,000. For the three months ended June 30, 2010, noninterest income totaled $1,524,000, a decrease of $294,000 from 2009’s second quarter. The primary contributor to lower noninterest income was the decrease in mortgage banking income. During the first half of 2009, the Company experienced a significant increase in mortgage originations due to the mortgage refinance boom. As expected, the origination volume normalized, leading to lower revenue from selling loans to the secondary market. The decrease in volume generated a $489,000 decrease in mortgage banking income for the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to the same period last year. Contributing to revenue growth was an increase in processing fee income earned from facilitating the clearing of tax refunds for a tax software provider. With continued growth in transaction volume, the associated fee income increased $250,000, or nearly 48 percent, from the first half of 2009.
On a year-to-date basis, noninterest expense totaled $13,857,000 in 2010, an increase of $386,000, or 2.9 percent, when compared to the previous year. On a quarter-to-date basis, noninterest expense increased $61,000 from the second quarter in 2009. Salaries and employee benefits, the Company’s largest noninterest expense, increased $569,000, or 7.8 percent, for the first six months of 2010, as compared to the same period in 2009. Contributing to the increase were annual cost of living adjustments, higher health insurance premiums and an increase in the number of employees. Partially offsetting the increase in personnel expense was a decline in FDIC insurance premiums. During the second quarter of 2009, all FDIC insured financial institutions paid a special assessment in addition to the already elevated premiums. The Company’s special assessment amount was $373,000. As a result, FDIC insurance expense for the three months ended June 30, 2010, decreased $434,000 and for the six months ended June 30, 2010, decreased $460,000 from the same period last year. Comparing the first half of 2010 to the first half of 2009, all remaining noninterest expenses were up $277,000, led by capital planning expenses.
For the six months ended June 30, 2010, management provided $1,642,000 to the allowance for loan losses, which represented an increase of $498,000 from the same period last year. For the three months ended June 30, 2010, management provided $721,000 to the allowance for loan losses, an increase of $425,000 from the same period the prior year. The increase in provision expense was related to an increase in net charge-offs, largely due to the partial charge-off of $1,000,000 on one multi-family residential property during the second quarter of 2010. Also contributing to the increase in net charge-offs in 2010 was the 2009 recovery of a loan previously charged off. During the second quarter of 2009, the Company recovered $648,000. The annualized ratio of net charge-offs to average loans for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was .61 percent, compared to .23 percent for the same period last year. The ratio of nonperforming loans to total loans was 1.06 percent at June 30, 2010 compared to .81 percent at December 31, 2009 and .97 percent at June 30, 2009. Based on the evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, management believes that the allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2010 was adequate and reflects probable incurred losses in the portfolio. The allowance for loan losses was 1.20 percent of total loans at June 30, 2010, compared to 1.26 percent at December 31, 2009 and 1.30 percent at June 30, 2009.
“I am very pleased to share with our stakeholders that the employees of Ohio Valley Banc Corp. generated a 5.4 percent increase in quarterly earnings,” stated Jeffrey E. Smith, Chairman and CEO. “As a community bank, net interest income represents a significant portion of our earnings, and with limited loan growth opportunities in this stressed economy, we have focused on our net interest margin to enhance the earning capacity of our balance sheet. Our second quarter 2010 net interest income improved 12 percent from the same period last year due to a 45 basis point improvement in our net interest margin. With the normalization of mortgage originations, it is difficult to replace the mortgage banking revenue earned in 2009. Therefore, we are pleased to see growth in another revenue source, tax processing fees, which increased 48 percent. Also helping to offset the decrease in mortgage banking income was lower FDIC insurance premiums, which significantly impacted last year’s results. Overall, we are pleased with the level of earnings generated and feel that our financial ratios compare favorably to the rest of the industry. For the first six months of 2010, the employees of Ohio Valley Banc Corp. earned more than $3.3 million, which equaled a .80 percent return on assets and a 10.15 percent return on shareholders equity. These financial results permitted us to reward our shareholders with a 5 percent increase in the cash dividend per share”.
