CARROLLTON BANCORP REPORTS THIRD QUARTER PROFIT AND YEAR TO DATE NET LOSS
COLUMBIA, MARYLAND - Carrollton Bancorp, (NASDAQ: CRRB) the parent company of Carrollton Bank, announced net income for the third quarter of 2011 of $504,000, compared to a net income of $153,000 for the third quarter of 2010. Net income to common stockholders for the third quarter of 2011 was $367,000 ($0.14 per diluted share) compared to net income available to common stockholders of $18,000 ($0.01 per diluted share) for the third quarter of 2010. Net loss to common stockholders for the nine month period ended September 30, 2011 was $433,000 ($0.17 loss per diluted share) compared to net loss available to common stockholders of $163,000 ($0.06 loss per diluted share) for the same period in 2010.
The Company’s pre-tax income was $782,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 compared to pre-tax income of $183,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2010. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2011, the Company incurred a loss before taxes of $186,000 compared to income before taxes of $191,000 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010.
The improvement in operating results for the quarter ended September 30, 2011, as compared to the same period in 2010, is a result of a $445,000 decline in the provision for loan losses, as well as an increase in noninterest income and a decline in noninterest expenses.
The decline in operating results for the nine month period ended September 30, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010, is a result of the ongoing losses associated with the loan portfolio and foreclosed real estate. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2011, the Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $2.0 million compared to $1.6 million during the same period in 2010. Expenses and losses associated with foreclosed real estate were $1.1 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2011 as compared to $211,000 for the same period in 2010.
Non-performing assets (non-accrual loans and foreclosed real estate) increased by 11.4% from $9.9 million at June 30, 2011 to $11.1 million at September 30, 2011. The allowance for loan losses represented 1.73% of outstanding loans as of September 30, 2011 compared to 1.70% at September 30, 2010. The Company experienced net charge-offs of $586,000 and $1.8 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 as compared to net charge-offs of $689,000 and $921,000 for the same periods of 2010.
The Company’s ongoing strategy focused on carefully shrinking the balance sheet has continued to benefit net interest margins and capital ratios. The Company’s net interest income improved by approximately $45,000 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the prior year period even though average interest earning assets declined by 8.8%. The improvement is more clearly seen in the net interest margin of 4.0% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2011 as compared to 3.63% for the same period in 2010. The benefit of reducing the size of the balance sheet is that the Company has been able to improve its regulatory capital ratios even though it has incurred $1.2 million of net losses since September 30, 2010. Unfortunately the benefit of stronger margins was offset by the lower interest earning assets in the 3rd quarter of 2011 resulting in a $149,000 decline in net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010. As a result, management has revised its strategy to maintaining asset levels while continuing to pursue opportunities to lower funding costs.
The Company’s non-interest income businesses continue to perform well as demonstrated by increases in noninterest income of $110,000 and $998,000 for the three and nine month periods as a result of strength in the Company’s electronic banking, investment brokerage and mortgage origination businesses.
Non-interest expenses decreased by $192,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 2011 but increased by $1.0 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2011, compared to the same periods in 2010. The quarterly decrease resulted from a reduction in salary and employee benefit costs of $319,000 which was somewhat offset by an increase in expenses and losses associated with the management and disposal of foreclosed real estate of $145,000.
The increase in the nine month expenses include increases in loan workout costs, the previously mentioned expenses and losses associated with the management and disposal of foreclosed real estate and a change in the structure of the mortgage banking division during the first quarter of 2010 that resulted in a shift of costs that were previously recorded as an offset to mortgage fee income. These increased expenses were partially offset by non-recurring costs related to a lawsuit settlement during the first quarter of 2010 and a deposit premium acquisition cost that fully amortized in June 2010.
President and Chief Executive Officer Bob Altieri stated, “Over the past 4-years, our focus has been to protect our balance sheet and work through this very stressed economy. Fortunately, during that time we were able to improve both our net interest margin and non-interest income. Unfortunately, loan demand has been very elusive and as a result of actions taken on our balance sheet, we have seen our earning asset base shrink, which will ultimately make it more difficult to maintain our current levels of net interest income. ”
Total assets as of September 30, 2011 compared to September 30, 2010 reflect a 7.0%, or $28.0 million, decrease to $371.6 million. Gross loans decreased 5.7%, or $18.7 million, from $325.0 million at September 30, 2010 to $306.3 million at September 30, 2011. Investments, at amortized cost, decreased 32.4%, or $15.8 million, to $33.0 million at September 30, 2011 from $48.9 million as of September 30, 2010. This decrease is a result of management’s decision to use cash flow from investments to shrink the balance sheet by reducing high cost borrowings.
Total deposits decreased 2.5%, or $8.3 million, to $316.1 million while borrowings decreased $18.2 million from balances at September 30, 2010. The decrease in deposits was comprised of a $12.2 million reduction in certificates of deposit, offset by a $3.0 million increase in non-interest bearing deposits and an $870,000 increase in interest bearing transaction accounts. The significant and intentional deleveraging of the balance sheet resulted in an improvement in net interest margins to 4.00% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to 3.63% for the same period in 2010.
