Ohio Valley Banc Corp. Reports Higher 2nd Quarter Earnings

GALLIPOLIS, Ohio - Ohio Valley Banc Corp. [Nasdaq: OVBC] (the “Company”) reported consolidated net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, of $1,942,000, an increase of 13.0 percent from the $1,719,000 earned for the second quarter of 2012.   Earnings per share for the second quarter of 2013 were $.48, up 11.6 percent from the prior year second quarter.  For the six months ended June 30, 2013, net income totaled $5,165,000, a 19.0 percent increase from net income of $4,341,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012.  Earnings per share were $1.27 for the first six months of 2013 versus $1.08 for the first six months of 2012, an increase of 17.6 percent.  Return on average assets and return on average equity was 1.28 percent and 13.45 percent, respectively, for the first half of 2013, compared to 1.03 percent and 11.97 percent, respectively, for the same period in the prior year.
 
“Ohio Valley Banc Corp employees continue to work hard at producing positive results,” stated Thomas E. Wiseman, President and CEO.  “I am extremely proud of their collective efforts particularly in this challenging economy.”
 
For the second quarter of 2013, net interest income decreased $212,000, or 2.6 percent, from the same period last year.  For the six months ended June 30, 2013, net interest income decreased $703,000, or 4.1 percent, from the same period last year.  Contributing to the lower net interest income was the decline in average earning assets.  For the six months ended June 30, 2013, average earning assets decreased $37 million from the same period last year, which occurred primarily in loans.  The decline in loan balances was reflective of the continued stagnant economic environment, which has reduced the amount of lending opportunities in the markets we serve.  However, the Company’s net interest margin remains strong, and for the six months ended June 30, 2013, the net interest margin increased to 4.37 percent, from 4.33 percent for the same period the prior year.
 
For the three months ended June 30, 2013, provision for loan losses decreased $713,000, and for the six months ended June 30, 2013, provision for loan losses decreased $1,998,000 from the same respective periods in 2012.  The significant decline in provision for loan loss expense was due to a decrease in charge-offs and nonperforming loans.  For the six months ended June 30, 2013, net charge-offs totaled only $279,000, a decrease of $1,375,000 from the same period in 2012.  The ratio of nonperforming loans to total loans was .76 percent at June 30, 2013 compared to .95 percent at June 30, 2012.  With the continued improvement in asset quality trends, the historical loss factors utilized to estimate the allowance for loan losses have decreased.  As a result, general reserves have decreased, which led to negative provision for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013.  Based on the evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, management believes that the allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2013 was adequate and reflects probable incurred losses in the portfolio.  The allowance for loan losses was 1.17 percent of total loans at June 30, 2013, compared to 1.33 percent at June 30, 2012.
 
For the three months ended June 30, 2013, noninterest income totaled $1,965,000, a decrease of $9,000 from 2012’s second quarter.  Noninterest income totaled $5,905,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to $5,453,000 for the same period last year, an increase of $452,000, or 8.3 percent.  Contributing to higher year-to-date noninterest income was life insurance proceeds, tax refund processing fees and interchange fee income.  In conjunction with various benefit plans for directors and key employees, the Company maintains an investment in bank owned life insurance.  During the first quarter, the Company received life insurance proceeds of $452,000.  For the six months ended June 30, 2013, tax processing fees totaled $2,511,000, an increase of $247,000 from the same period the prior year due to an increase in the number of tax refund items processed.  Management was pleased with the significant contribution from this revenue source, which accounted for over 42 percent of our noninterest income for the first half of 2013.  Further contributing to revenue growth was the increase in interchange fees earned on debit and credit card transactions.  By continuing to offer incentives to customers to utilize the bank’s debit and credit card for purchases, interchange income increased $129,000, or 15.8 percent, for the six months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to the same period in 2012.
 
For the three months ended June 30, 2013, noninterest expense totaled $7,317,000, an increase of $155,000, or 2.2 percent, from the same period last year.  For the six months ended June 30, 2013, noninterest expense totaled $15,265,000, an increase of $771,000, or 5.3 percent, from the same period last year.  The quarter-to-date increase in noninterest expense was related to an increase of $182,000 in salaries and employee benefits, which was partially offset by a $27,000 net decrease in all other noninterest expenses.  The year-to-date increase in noninterest expense was related to an increase of $353,000 in salaries and employee benefits, an increase of $164,000 in foreclosure costs, and a $212,000 premium associated with the early redemption of trust preferred securities.  During the first quarter of 2013, the Company exercised the option to redeem $5 million in trust preferred securities prior to maturity, which is anticipated to have a favorable impact on future earnings due to the elimination of the annual interest expense on the securities totaling $530,000.
