MOUNT AIRY, N.C., July 25, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Surrey Bancorp (the "Company"), (Pink Sheets:SRYB), the holding company for Surrey Bank & Trust, today reported earnings for the second quarter of 2018.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2018, net income totaled $1,182,572 or $0.28 per fully diluted share, compared to $962,480 or $0.23 per fully diluted common share earned during the second quarter of 2017.
The increase in earnings results from an increase in net interest income and a reduction in the provision for income taxes due to the rate reductions in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Net interest income increased from $2,730,717 in the second quarter of 2017 to $3,086,898 in the second quarter of 2018. Income tax expense decreased from $518,600, on an income before income taxes of $1,481,080 in 2017 to $347,800, on an income before income taxes of $1,530,372 in 2018. This is a reduction in the effective income tax rate from 35.0 percent to 22.7 percent.
The increase in net interest income is due to loan growth and an improved net interest margin. Average loans as a percentage of average earning assets increased from 81.9 percent in the second quarter of 2017 to 84.7 percent of average earning assets in 2018. Average loans outstanding in the second quarter of 2018 amounted to $230,566,577 compared to $211,958,073 in the second quarter of 2017. Loan yields increased from 5.37 percent in the second quarter of 2017 to 5.49 percent in the same quarter of 2018. Overall interest earning asset yields increased from 4.58 percent to 4.90 percent from the second quarter of 2017 to the second quarter of 2018. These improved yields are due to a general increase in interest rates. The cost of funds remained at 0.39 percent in the second quarter of 2018 and 2017. Higher interest rate certificates of deposit made up a smaller percentage of average deposits in the second quarter of 2018 which offset a slight rise in deposits rates associated with other deposit accounts.
The provision for loan losses increased from a recapture of $135,998 in the second quarter of 2017 to a provision for loan losses of $36,221 in 2018, a $172,219 increase. This increase is primarily due to charge off recoveries in the second quarter of 2017 of $94,715 and the effects of the recoveries on the historical loss calculations for the quarter. In the second quarter of 2018, $6,382 of loans were charged off.
Noninterest income increased slightly from $603,236 in the second quarter of 2017 to $608,002 in 2018. Increases in other service charges and fees were offset by reductions in insurance commissions resulting in little change. Noninterest expenses increased 7.0 percent from $1,988,871 in the second quarter of 2017, to $2,128,307 in 2018. This increase was primarily due to the increase in employees and other costs associated with the opening of a new branch office in December of 2017.
Loan loss reserves were $3,884,154 or 1.67 percent of total loans as of June 30, 2018. Non-performing assets were 0.27 percent of total assets at June 30, 2018, compared to 0.34 percent on that date in 2017. At June 30, 2018, the allowance for loan loss reserves equals 148 percent of impaired and non-performing assets, net of government guarantees.
Total assets were $305,198,303 as of June 30, 2018, an increase of 7.5 percent from $283,821,022 reported as of June 30, 2017. Total deposits were $256,889,092 at quarter-end 2018, an 8.7 percent increase from the $236,363,048 reported at the end of the second quarter of 2017. Net loans increased to $229,561,379, or 8.9 percent, compared to $210,754,322, at June 30, 2017.
Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2018, was $2,245,847 or $0.54 per diluted share, compared to $1,910,205 or $0.46 per diluted share, for the same period in 2017.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This report refers to the overhead efficiency ratio, which is computed by dividing non-interest expense by the sum of net interest income and non-interest income. This is a non-GAAP financial measure that we believe provides investors with important information regarding our operational efficiency. Comparison of our efficiency ratio with those of other companies may not be possible, because other companies may calculate the efficiency ratio differently. Such information is not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP) and should not be construed as such. Management believes such financial information is meaningful to the reader in understanding operating performance but cautions that such information not be viewed as a substitute for GAAP. Surrey Bancorp, in referring to its net income, is referring to income under GAAP.
