Minerva, Ohio— October 27, 2014 (OTCBB: CBKM) Consumers Bancorp, Inc. (Consumers) today reported net income of $756 thousand for the first fiscal quarter of 2015, an increase of $135 thousand, or 21.7%, from the same period last year and a decrease of $27 thousand, or 3.4%, from the previous quarter of June 30, 2014. Earnings per share for the first fiscal quarter of 2015 were $0.28 compared to $0.24 for the same period ended September 30, 2013.

 

Assets at September 30, 2014 totaled $389.8 million, an increase of $7.4 million, or an annualized 7.6%, from June 30, 2014. Securities increased by $6.9 million, deposits increased by $2.3 million and loans declined by $1.8 million.

 

Ralph J. Lober, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Increased non-interest income, asset growth, and continually improving asset quality measures are reflected in Consumers’ 21.7% increase in quarterly earnings. We are also seeing business development efforts result in loan bookings and commitments that will add earning assets in future quarters. We continue to leverage our sales, branch, and technology infrastructure by earning new personal and business relationships throughout our market area. Our investments in people, systems, and products are meeting the needs of our customers and adding to the Bank’s growth and profitability.”

 

Net interest income for the first fiscal quarter of 2015 increased by $255 thousand from the same period last year, with interest income increasing by $245 thousand and interest expense decreasing by $10 thousand. The net interest margin was 3.79% for the current quarter ended September 30, 2014 compared to 3.89% for the previous quarter ended June 30, 2014 and 3.79% for the same period last year. The Corporation’s yield on average interest-earning assets was 4.06% for the three months ended September 30, 2014, a decline from 4.10% for the same period last year. The Corporation’s cost of funds decreased to 0.36% for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from 0.41% for the same period last year.

 

Other income increased by $96 thousand, or 13.8%, to $791 thousand for the first quarter of fiscal year 2015 compared with $695 thousand for the same period last year. This increase was primarily the result of an increase of $42 thousand from the gain on sale of mortgage loans and from the recognition of a $37 thousand gain on sale of securities and a $22 thousand gain from the sale of other real estate acquired through loan foreclosure.

 

Other expenses increased $223 thousand, or 7.8%, for the first fiscal quarter of 2015 from the same period last year. The increase in other expenses is primarily the result of higher salary and benefit expenses and occupancy expenses.

 

 
 

 

Non-performing loans were $1.1 million at September 30, 2014, compared with $2.0 million at June 30, 2014 and $2.5 million at September 30, 2013. Non-performing loans decreased as a result of receiving proceeds from the sale of a portion of the collateral securing a commercial real estate credit. As a result of the decrease in non-performing loans, the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of non-performing loans increased to 215.21% at September 30, 2014 compared with 101.26% at September 30, 2013. The allowance for loan losses as a percent of total loans at September 30, 2014 was 1.08% and annualized net charge-offs to total loans were 0.09% for the three month period ended September 30, 2014 compared with 0.27% for the same period last year.
