BSB Bancorp, Inc. Reports Second Quarter Results

BELMONT, MA, July 24, 2014 (PR Newswire) - BSB Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ-BLMT) (the “Company”), the holding company for Belmont Savings Bank (the “Bank”), a state-chartered savings bank headquartered in Belmont, Massachusetts, today reported net income of $1.0 million, or $0.12 per basic and diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, compared to net income of $361,000, or $0.04 per basic and diluted share, in the second quarter of 2013. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company reported net income of $1.7 million, or $0.20 per basic and diluted share, as compared to net income of $777,000, or $0.09 per basic and diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2013.
 
Robert M. Mahoney, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "The bank is benefiting from positive operating leverage as revenue growth outstrips expense growth. Credit quality remains good."
 
NET INTEREST AND DIVIDEND INCOME
 
Net interest and dividend income before provision for loan losses for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 was $7.6 million as compared to $5.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, or a 28.8% increase. The provision for loan losses for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 was $307,000 as compared to a provision for loan losses of $100,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, or a 207.0% increase. This resulted in a $1.5 million or 26.0% increase in net interest and dividend income after provision for loan losses for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2013. Net interest and dividend income before provision for loan losses for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $14.9 million as compared to $11.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, or a 28.0% increase. The provision for loan losses for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $696,000, as compared to $427,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013, or a 63.0% increase. This resulted in a $3.0 million or 26.6% increase in net interest and dividend income after provision for loan losses for the six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013.
 
NONINTEREST INCOME
 
Noninterest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 was $857,000 as compared to $908,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, a decrease of $51,000, or 5.6%. This decrease was driven by a decrease in net gain on sales of loans of $286,000 as we benefited less during the second quarter of 2014 from the interest rate environment as compared to the second quarter of 2013. The decrease in net gain on sales of loans was partially offset by an increase in other income of $164,000 and an increase in loan servicing fee income of $75,000. The increase in other income was driven by vendor loss experience refunds. Noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $1.6 million as compared to $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, a decrease of $335,000, or 17.5%. This decrease was driven by a decrease in net gain on sales of loans of $575,000 as we benefited less during the six months ended June 30, 2014 from the interest rate environment as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013. The decrease in net gain on sales of loans was partially offset by an increase in other income of $168,000 and an increase in loan servicing fee income of $121,000. The increase in other income was driven by vendor loss experience refunds.
 
NONINTEREST EXPENSE
 
Noninterest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 was $6.5 million as compared to $6.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. This increase of $361,000, or 5.9%, was primarily driven by an increase in salaries and employee benefits of $306,000. Noninterest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $13.2 million as compared to $11.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. This increase of $1.2 million, or 10.4%, was primarily driven by an increase in salaries and employee benefits of $899,000, which included the impact of adding personnel for two additional branches. 
 

 
 

 

BALANCE SHEET
 
At June 30, 2014, total assets were $1.2 billion, an increase of $167.2 million or 15.9% from $1.1 billion at December 31, 2013. The Company experienced net loan growth of $148.3 million, or 17.7%, from December 31, 2013. Commercial real estate loans, residential mortgage loans, home equity loans, and indirect auto loans increased by $38.7 million, $61.2 million, $18.4 million and $16.4 million, respectively. The asset growth was funded by customer deposits and borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank.
 
At June 30, 2014, deposits totaled $891.9 million, an increase of $127.1 million or 16.6% from $764.8 million at December 31, 2013. Core deposits, which we consider to include all deposits other than CD’s and brokered CD’s, increased by $92.1 million from December 31, 2013. Hal R. Tovin, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, said, “Q2 was another good quarter for deposit growth. The maturing of our three InStore branches and the ongoing growth of our municipal banking program drove both checking and savings deposits. In addition, new and expanding small business banking and commercial real estate customer relationships continue to be important contributors to this strong performance.”
 
Total stockholders’ equity increased by $3.0 million from $130.4 million as of December 31, 2013 to $133.4 million as of June 30, 2014. This increase is primarily the result of earnings of $1.7 million and a $980,000 increase in additional paid-in capital related to stock based compensation.
