MBT Financial Corp. Announces Third Quarter 2015 Profit

 

MONROE, Mich., October 26, 2015 – MBT Financial Corp., (Nasdaq: MBTF), the parent company of Monroe Bank & Trust, reported a net profit of $3,006,000 ($0.13 per share, basic and diluted), in the third quarter of 2015, compared to a profit of $1,712,000 ($0.08 per share, basic and $0.07 per share, diluted), in the third quarter of 2014. The net profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $8,068,000 ($0.35 per share, basic and diluted), compared to $5,166,000 ($0.24 per share, basic and $0.23 per share, diluted) in the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

 

Earnings for the Company improved this quarter due to improvements in net interest income, non-interest income, and non-interest expenses. The net interest margin decreased from 3.17% in the third quarter of 2014 to 3.11% in the third quarter of 2015, but the average amount of interest earning assets increased $65.6 million. As a result, net interest income improved by 4.2% in the third quarter of 2015 compared to the third quarter of 2014.

 

The provision for loan losses increased $500,000 compared to the third quarter of 2014 from a recovery of $700,000 in 2014 to a recovery of $200,000 this quarter. Improving asset quality and recoveries of loans previously charged off allowed the bank to maintain an adequate Allowance for Loan Losses while recording its second negative quarterly provision in 2015. Loans charged off during the quarter totaled $192,000, while $309,000 was recovered on loans charged off previously. Total Loans increased $14.5 million during the first three quarters of 2015, but the continued improvement in asset quality enabled the Company to reduce the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses from 2.24% of loans at the end of 2014 to 2.08% as of the end of the third quarter.

 

Non-interest income increased $1.9 million, or 87.2% in the third quarter of 2015 compared to the third quarter of 2014. Excluding gains and losses from securities and other real estate transactions, non-interest income increased $147,000, or 3.9% as deposit account fees, debit card income, and mortgage loan origination fees all increased.

 

Total non-interest expenses decreased $196,000, or 2.1% in the third quarter of 2015 compared to the third quarter of 2014. Expenses related to Other Real Estate Owned decreased $128,000 or 68.4% due to the decrease in the number of properties owned. FDIC insurance decreased $63,000 or 22.9% as the assessment rate decreased when the FDIC and the State of Michigan terminated the Bank’s informal regulatory agreement in 2015.

 

Total assets of the company increased $38.1 million, or 3.0% compared to December 31, 2014. Total loans increased $14.5 million since the end of 2014. Capital increased $11.6 million since the end of last year primarily due to the year to date profit of $8.1 million. The Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI) component of capital increased $3.3 million compared to the end of 2014. The AOCI increased mainly due to an increase in the market values of our investment securities that are classified as available for sale. The ratio of equity to assets increased from 10.52% at the end of 2014 to 11.10% at September 30, 2015. The Bank’s Tier 1 Leverage ratio increased from 9.55% as of December 31, 2014 to 10.63% as of September 30, 2015.

 

H. Douglas Chaffin, President and CEO, commented, “We are pleased with our results for the first three quarters of 2015, and we believe that our balance sheet is positioned to produce better earnings results when interest rates increase. While we remain concerned about the effect of global and national issues on our local economy, we plan to continue our efforts to improve profitability by growing our loan portfolio and improving our operational efficiency. After the end of the third quarter we began an efficiency initiative that will provide meaningful expense reductions beginning in the first quarter of 2016. Our current environment still presents challenges, but we remain confident in our ability to maintain our position as the premier independent provider of financial services in the communities we serve.”
