ISBA Announces 1st Quarter Earnings
Mt. Pleasant, Michigan, April 28, 2011 — Richard J. Barz, Chief Executive Officer of Isabella Bank Corporation (ISBA), announced today that the Corporation’s net income for the first three months of 2011 was $2.32 million, a 14.48% increase over the same period in 2010. The Corporation paid a $0.19 per share cash dividend in the first quarter of 2011, a 5.5% increase over the dividend paid in the fourth quarter of 2010. Based on the Corporation’s average stock price of $18.07 for the month of March 2011, the annualized dividend yield was 4.21%.
As of March 31, 2011, the Corporation’s total assets were $1.26 billion, a 2.97% increase compared to December 31, 2010. The majority of this growth was funded by a 5.23% increase of in-market deposits. Total assets under management, which includes loans sold and serviced, trust assets, and assets managed by the Corporation’s Raymond James brokerage operations, were $1.88 billion.
The Corporation’s asset quality remains strong as evidenced by the relatively low percentage of total assets classified as “nonperforming” as of March 31, 2011 (0.66%). For comparison, the average percentage of nonperforming assets for all banks in the state of Michigan was 3.57% for the period ended December 31, 2010. As of March 31, 2011, the Corporation had $2.17 in loan loss reserve for every dollar of nonperforming loans, an outstanding coverage ratio. In addition, the Corporation’s risk based capital to risk adjusted total assets ratio of 13.78% at the end of the first quarter of 2011 is considered to be exceptionally strong when compared to the 8.0% required to be categorized as adequately capitalized under the Federal Reserve Board’s risk based capital rules.
