Severn Bancorp, Inc. Announces Significant Year-Over-Year Earnings Growth

PR Newswire

ANNAPOLIS, Md., April 23, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Severn Bancorp, Inc., SVBI parent company of Severn Savings Bank, FSB, today announced an increase in net income of over 100% for the first quarter of 2018 versus the first quarter of 2017. Net income was $1.9 million versus $925 thousand for the quarters ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. On a diluted per share basis, earnings were $0.15 versus $0.06 for the quarters ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Net interest income increased 19% during the first quarter of 2018. Net interest income was $7.0 million during the first quarter of 2018 versus $5.9 million during the first quarter of 2017. The increase is due to higher interest income resulting from loan growth and lower interest expense on borrowings. Interest expense on borrowing has decreased due to maturing FHLB advances being refinanced at lower rates.

Non-interest income increased to $1.9 million in the first quarter of 2018 versus $1.4 million in the first quarter of 2017.  The increase was due to higher volume of fees on a growing deposit portfolio and higher sales of mortgages into the secondary market. Non-interest expenses increased modestly to $6.2 million in the first quarter of 2018 versus $5.7 million in the first quarter of 2017. The increase is due to added staffing which was needed to support the growth in our lending and deposit programs.

"We are pleased to report earnings for the quarter that show substantial progress year over year," stated Alan J. Hyatt, President and Chief Executive Officer.  Mr. Hyatt continued, "The Company has seen notable improvement in asset quality, and recently also announced payment of a dividend to shareholders. We continue to execute our strategy of generating core deposits and growing our commercial and mortgage lending units.  While our results for the quarter are trending in the right direction, we remain focused on continued improvement in our operations and enhancing long term shareholder value."
