  • Total loans grew 6%
  • Non-performing loans decreased 19%
  • Net interest income grew 3% over the quarter ended December 31, 2018 and 10% over the quarter ended March 31, 2018
  • Total interest income grew 4% over the quarter ended December 31, 2018 and 21% over the quarter ended March 31, 2018
  • Net interest margin increased 9 basis points from 3.78% in the quarter ended December 31, 2018 to 3.87% for the quarter ended March 31, 2019

Glenn B. Marshall, President & CEO, stated, "The first quarter of 2019 required a significant addition to the provision for loan losses related to one legacy problem loan after obtaining new information regarding the collateral. This specific credit has been adequately provided for to allow the Bank to move forward. We are optimistic about the future with strong balance sheet growth, a rising net interest margin and the upcoming opening of the Wayne branch location later this year." 

Total interest income grew 4% when comparing the first quarter of 2019 to the fourth quarter of 2018. This growth was driven by 6% loan growth as well as a 10 basis point increase in loan yields during the first quarter.

Total interest income rose 21% from $2,982,300 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 to $3,596,363 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. This increase was supported by 16% loan growth when comparing March 31, 2019 to a year prior and a 35 basis point improvement in loan yields when comparing the first quarter of 2018 to the first quarter of 2019.

Total interest expense rose 6% when comparing the first quarter of 2019 to the fourth quarter of 2018. This increase was driven by a 6% increase in certificates of deposit as well as a 16 basis point increase in the cost of certificates of deposit.

Total interest expense rose 66% from $584,997 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 to $970,336 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The vast majority of this increased expense was related to a 38% increase in certificates of deposit as well as a 95 basis point increase in the cost of certificates of deposit, year over year. Overall interest expense was mitigated by strong growth in noninterest bearing deposits, which increased 59% when comparing March 31, 2019 to the year prior.

Net interest income was $2,626,027 for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 as compared to $2,543,643 for the previous quarter, an improvement of 3%.  The net interest margin increased 9 basis points from 3.78% for the quarter ended December 31, 2018 to 3.87% for the quarter ended March 31, 2019. The overall yield on interest earning assets increased 16 basis points during the first quarter led by a 10 basis point increase in loan yields to 5.58%. The cost of interest bearing deposits increased 13 basis points during the first quarter to 1.59%, with the majority of that increase attributed to higher cost certificates of deposit. 

The provision for loan losses increased from $78,051 for the three months ended December 31, 2018 to $475,952 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The provision for loan losses increased from $134,322 for the three months ended March 31, 2018, to $475,952 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. These increases are both attributed to significant loan growth during the first quarter of 2019 as well as one legacy problem loan that required specific reserves due to new information obtained during the first quarter of 2019.

Non-interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 was $156,255, as compared to $178,337 for the previous quarter and $115,742 for the first quarter of the prior year. There were $24,463 in gains on sales of SBA loans recognized during the first quarter of 2019, as compared to $55,075 in the prior quarter and none during the first quarter of 2018.

Non-interest expense decreased $35 thousand, or 2%, in the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the prior quarter. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in salaries and benefits and advertising, partially offset by an increase in occupancy, professional fees, data processing and other costs. Non-interest expense increased $58 thousand, or 3%, when comparing the first quarter of 2019 to the first quarter of 2018. This increase was attributed to an increase in salaries and benefits, data processing, professional fees and other fees, offset by lower occupancy, depreciation and advertising expenses.

Deposits grew a net $11.4 million, or 5%, from $236.2 million at December 31, 2018 to $247.6 million at March 31, 2019. During the first quarter, non-interest bearing deposits increased $8 million, or 25%, from $31.8 million at December 31, 2018 to $39.8 million at March 31, 2019. Interest-bearing checking balances decreased $911 thousand, or 8%, from $11.1 million at December 31, 2018 to $10.2 million at March 31, 2019. Money market deposits decreased $1.4 million, or 1%, from $101.9 million at December 31, 2018 to $100.5 million at March 31, 2019. Certificates of deposit increased $5.7 million, or 6%, from $91.5 million at December 31, 2018 to $97.2 million at March 31, 2019. Total deposits grew $36.1 million, or 17%, from $211.5 million at March 31, 2018 to $247.6 million at March 31, 2019, with growth in noninterest bearing deposits and certificates of deposit offset by a decline in money market deposits.

The loan portfolio grew $13.7 million, or 6%, during the first quarter from $244.7 million at December 31, 2018 to $258.4 million at March 31, 2019, with the majority of that growth in commercial real estate loans and construction loans. The loan portfolio grew $35.1 million, or 16%, from $223.3 million at March 31, 2018 to $258.4 million at March 31, 2019, with the majority of that growth in commercial real estate loans.

Non-performing assets consisted of non-performing loans of $2.3 million at March 31, 2019, a 19% decrease as compared to the prior quarter.

Total stockholder's equity increased $551 thousand, or 2%, from $25.3 million at December 31, 2018 to $25.8 million at March 31, 2019, primarily due to net income generated and an improvement in the unrealized loss position of the investment portfolio.

Total assets increased $2.9 million, or 1% during the first quarter of 2019, with significant growth in loans funded by significant growth in deposits. Short term investment securities owned at year end matured and were used to repay short term borrowings.
