HomeTown Bankshares Corporation Reports Strong

Operating Performance through the Third Quarter of 2014

 

Roanoke, VA (October 24, 2014) - HomeTown Bankshares Corporation, the parent company of HomeTown Bank, generated earnings of $777,000 for the third quarter ended September 30, 2014 contributing to a 24% increase in earnings for the first nine months of 2014 over the comparative period in 2013.

 

A net profit of $777,000 or $0.14 per diluted common share was realized for the third quarter of 2014 compared to a net profit of $772,000 or $0.09 per diluted common share for the third quarter of 2013. Net income for the first nine months of 2014, however, remained strong and grew 24% to $2.41 million or $0.44 per diluted common share vs. net income of $1.94 million or $0.33 per diluted common share earned during the first nine months of 2013.

 

Non-interest income increased 58% to $501,000 in the third quarter of 2014 and amounted to $1.34 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 vs. $318,000 and $1.09 million, respectively, during the same periods of 2013. The primary growth in non-interest income was from revenue generated from strong core checking account growth during 2014. Non-interest income also increased due to brokerage and a resurgence in mortgage lending during the third quarter and year-to-date.

 

"We are very pleased with the strong growth in our earnings for the first nine months of 2014, stated Susan Still, President and CEO. "Steady growth in the loan portfolio coupled with a significant increase in non-interest income and a strong interest margin contributed to the improvement in earnings." she continued.

Balance Sheet

 

Total assets grew to $417.9 million at September 30, 2014 from $402.4 million at December 31, 2013. Annualized loan growth was 9.6% for the first nine months of 2014, and increased 11.2% from $287.3 million over the twelve months since September 30, 2013. Total Deposits also grew during the same period from $339.8 million at December 31, 2013 to $351.5 million at September 30, 2014. Over the past twelve months, total deposits increased 8% with non-interest bearing deposits increasing 8.8% from $43.4 million at September 30, 2013 to $47.2 million at September 30, 2014.

 

The capital ratios improved from the increase in earnings and remained well above regulatory standards for well-capitalized banks through September 30, 2014.

 

Asset Quality

 

Loan quality remained strong during the first nine months of 2014 with nonperforming loans, excluding performing, restructured loans, of $1.3 million or 0.41% of total loans at September 30, 2014 vs. $801,000 or 0.28% of Total Loans at September 30, 2013. Nonperforming assets to total assets, excluding performing, restructured loans, amounted to 2.39% at September 30, 2014 and at September 30, 2013.

 

In addition, net charge-offs to average loans outstanding at September 30, 2014 were 0.12% for the quarter and 0.17% for the first nine months of 2014.

"Asset quality has improved significantly as we have proactively dealt with troubled loans." stated Still. "Our continued focus will remain on prudently reducing the level of bank owned real estate over the next quarter and into 2015," she said.
