Minerva, Ohio— April 24, 2015 (OTCBB: CBKM) Consumers Bancorp, Inc. (Consumers) today reported net income of $632 thousand for the third fiscal quarter of 2015, a decrease of $46 thousand, or 6.8%, from the same period last year and a decrease of $176 thousand from the previous quarter of December 31, 2014. Earnings per share for the third fiscal quarter of 2015 were $0.23 compared to $0.25 for the same period last year.

 

For the nine months ended March 31, 2015, net income was $2.2 million compared to $2.1 million for the same period last year. Fiscal year-to-date net income per share was $0.80 compared to $0.76 for the same period last year. Return on average assets and return on average equity for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 were 0.75% and 7.11% compared to 0.75% and 7.27%, respectively, for the same period last year.

 

Assets at March 31, 2015 totaled $401.6 million, an increase of $19.2 million, or an annualized 6.7%, from June 30, 2014. Loans increased by $6.2 million, available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities increased by $2.5 million and deposits increased by $16.9 million. The increase in deposits is primarily from new business and public fund customer relationships stemming from increased successful calling efforts.

 

Ralph J. Lober, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Increases in noninterest income and balance sheet growth have offset the margin compression which we continue to experience. We expect the new business lending center in Stow, Ohio and expanded calling efforts throughout our markets to provide consistent commercial loan and deposit growth as well as noninterest income opportunities. Our business development efforts encompass Stark, Carroll, Columbiana, Summit, Portage, and Cuyahoga counties. We are making strategic investments in experienced sales professionals that we expect will positively affect future performance. In addition, improved sales processes are resulting in increased cross-departmental referral activity.”

 

Net interest income for the third fiscal quarter of 2015 increased by $123 thousand compared to the same period last year, with interest income increasing by $112 thousand and interest expense decreasing by $11 thousand. The net interest margin was 3.79% for the current quarter ended March 31, 2015 and for the previous quarter ended December 31, 2014 and was 3.89% for the same period last year. The Corporation’s yield on average interest-earning assets was 4.05% for the three months ended March 31, 2015, a decline from 4.17% for the same period last year. The Corporation’s cost of funds decreased to 0.35% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from 0.38% for the same period last year.

 

Other income increased by $9 thousand, or 1.4%, to $648 thousand for the third quarter of fiscal year 2015 compared with $639 thousand for the same period last year. Gains from the sale of mortgage loans increased to $43 thousand, or by $9 thousand, from the same period last year.

 

 
 

 

Other expenses increased $106 thousand, or 3.5%, for the third 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 $0.7 million at March 31, 2015, compared with $2.0 million at June 30, 2014 and $1.1 million at December 31, 2014. Non-performing loans decreased from June 30, 2014 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 370.8% at March 31, 2015 compared with 122.7% at March 31, 2014. The allowance for loan losses as a percent of total loans at March 31, 2015 was 1.05% and annualized net charge-offs to total loans were 0.11% for the nine month period ended March 31, 2015 compared with a net charge-off ratio of 0.20% for the same period last year.
