INSBANK Parent, InsCorp, Inc., Reports Quarterly Earnings

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Aug. 12, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- InsCorp, Inc., parent company of INSBANK IBTN, today reported 2^nd quarter earnings of $548,000, or $0.19 per share. Quarterly earnings for the Nashville-based lender were down $420,000, or $0.14 per share, versus those of the same period the prior year. Contributing to this decline, the bank added $800,000 to its provision for loan loss reserves during the quarter, compared to $175,000 in the same period the prior year. In addition to the reserve expense, a decline in net interest margin contributed to reduced operating earnings. Year-to-date earnings totaled $1,281,000, or $0.44 per share.

"While the latter part of the quarter saw some affected business clients resume operations, other industries remain muted while the pandemic prolongs," said Jim Rieniets, President & CEO of INSBANK. "Until such time as there is clarity around the virus, the duration of its impact on the economy, and the extent of legislative and regulatory response to this emerging crisis, we plan to prudently add to reserves while we work with borrowers on a case-by-case basis to navigate dynamic challenges."

As previously reported, roughly 20% of the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) Loans originated by INSBANK were provided to new business customers. While PPP loan disbursements also contributed to aggregate deposit growth, new commercial deposit account relationships helped fuel $22.9 million of deposit growth during the quarter.

"Despite the challenges facing the banking industry, our team has remained focused on executing our plans for core deposit growth and expansion of business lines, a couple of which are fintech ventures," continued Rieniets. "In many ways this pandemic will challenge traditional banking, and those financial institutions, like INSBANK, with forward-looking business models and cultures should emerge with a competitive advantage."

• Yield on assets was 4.38% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to 5.03% for the same period in 2019.
