Hamilton Bancorp, Inc. Announces Results for First Fiscal Quarter


TOWSON, MD, August 2, 2013 – Hamilton Bancorp, Inc. (Nasdaq: HBK), today reported net income of $18,000, or $0.01 per share (basic and diluted), for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, compared to $223,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2012. Per share amounts for the prior year periods are not applicable as the net income reported is for Hamilton Bank prior to the completion of its mutual-to-stock conversion on October 10, 2012. As part of the conversion, Hamilton Bancorp became the Bank’s holding company and raised $35.6 million in net proceeds in a subscription offering.
 
Balance Sheet Review
 
Total assets at June 30, 2013 decreased 1.8% to $325.9 million from $332.0 million at March 31, 2013.  The decrease in assets is primarily attributable to a $6.7 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents to $27.3 million at June 30, 2013. Cash and cash equivalents were used to fund a growing loan portfolio and a decrease in deposits during the quarter ended June 30, 2013.
 
Total net loans increased $2.1 million to $161.4 million at June 30, 2013 from $159.3 million at March 31, 2013 despite a $2.2 million decline in residential one- to four-family loans as such loans were either paid down, repaid or refinanced and newly originated residential loans were sold in the secondary market at a premium. The Bank continues to transform the composition of its loan portfolio by emphasizing commercial and commercial real estate lending which has resulted in residential loan balances declining and commercial real estate and commercial business loans increasing over the past twelve months. At June 30, 2013, commercial real estate loans accounted for 24.9% of gross loans compared to 22.5% at March 31, 2013, or a net increase of $4.5 million.  Commercial business loans have reversed their trend and decreased slightly in the last quarter, representing 15.8% of gross loans at June 30, 2013, compared to 16.7% at March 31, 2013 or a net decrease of $1.1 million.
 
Total deposits were $257.5 million at June 30, 2013, compared to $260.1 million at March 31, 2013, a decline of $2.6 million. The decline in deposits was due to the continued decrease in time deposits. Time deposits decreased $9.0 million to $187.0 million at June 30, 2013 compared to $196.0 million at March 31, 2013. The Company remains focused on changing its deposit mix to rely less on certificates of deposit as a primary funding source and attract lower costing core deposits. Checking accounts increased $5.9 million to $26.3 million at June 30, 2013 compared to $20.4 million at March 31, 2013, an increase of 28.9%.
 
Total shareholders’ equity at June 30, 2013 was $65.7 million, compared to total equity of $67.4 million at March 31, 2013.  The decrease in shareholders’ equity was primarily attributable to a $1.7 million decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income associated with rising interest rates and the impact on the market value of the investment portfolio. The Company’s book value per common share at June 30, 2013 was $17.74 compared to $18.21 at March 31, 2013.  At that same date, tangible book value per share, which includes the $(0.77) per share effect of the Company’s $2.9 million of goodwill and other intangibles, equaled $16.97 per share.
 
 
 

 

 
Asset Quality Review
 
Nonperforming assets decreased 16.4% or $1.0 million to $4.9 million at June 30, 2013, from $5.9 million at March 31, 2013.  Total nonperforming assets were 1.51% of total assets at the end of the quarter, compared to 1.77% at March 31, 2013.  During the three months ended June 30, 2013, $704,000 in nonperforming loans were paid in full and the Bank charged off $169,000 in nonperforming loans. In addition, $91,000 in nonperforming loans were brought current by customer payments.
 
The provision for loan losses totaled $304,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 compared to $58,000 for the 2012 period. The increased provision in the first quarter of 2013 was primarily related to charge offs totaling $169,000 for two commercial equipment loans and a residential mortgage loan and $115,000 in specific reserves established for another commercial term loan.
 
The allowance for loan and lease losses at June 30, 2013 totaled $2.2 million, or 1.37% of total loans, compared to $2.1 million at March 31, 2013, or 1.28% of total loans. The $159,000 increase in the allowance for loan losses is the result of $145,000 in net charge-off of loans, offset by $304,000 in provision for loan losses for the three months ending June 30, 2013.
 
Income Statement Review
 
Net interest income increased $26,000, or 1.2%, to $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2012. The slight increase during the 2013 period was attributable to the decline in both the yield and average balance on interest-bearing deposits, resulting in a decrease in the cost of interest-bearing deposits. The decline in the cost of interest-bearing deposits was partially offset by a decline in the yield on interest-earning assets, despite an increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets.  For the three months ended June 30, 2013, the interest rate spread decreased 11basis points to 2.59% from the prior year period. The net interest margin also decreased from 2.82% for the three month period ended June 30, 2012 to 2.77% for the three month period ended June 30, 2013.
 
Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2013 totaled $265,000 an increase of $80,000, or 43.2%, compared to the first quarter of 2012.  The increase between the two quarters was primarily due to increases in gain on sale of investment securities, service charges and income from bank owned life insurance, partially offset by a decrease in mortgage loan fees. Income from service charges increased due to an increase in the number of core deposits (checking and savings) which offer more fee based services and products than conventional time deposits.
 
Noninterest expenses increased $228,000 to $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, compared to $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012.  The higher expense in the 2013 quarter is due in part to the added costs associated with operating as a public company, including legal expenses and professional services. In addition, new employees have been hired since the 2012 quarter to assist in administrating and growing the Bank’s commercial loan portfolio. The increase in operating expenses has been partially offset by decreases in advertising, foreclosed real estate expense and stationary and printing expense in the first quarter ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012.
