FIDELITY D & D BANCORP, INC.

REPORTS BETTER FIRST QUARTER 2016 FINANCIAL RESULTS



Dunmore, PA – Fidelity D & D Bancorp, Inc., (OTC Bulletin Board: FDBC), parent company of The Fidelity Deposit and Discount Bank, announced net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 of $1.7 million, an improvement of over $0.1 million, or 8%, compared to $1.6 million for the first quarter of 2015.  Higher revenue more than offset the increase in non-interest expenses, when compared to the first quarter of 2015.  Earnings per share on a diluted basis for the quarter were $0.69 and $0.64 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.



“Fidelity’s strong first quarter earnings sets the stage for a successful 2016,” stated Daniel J. Santaniello, President and Chief Executive Officer.  “The growth in earnings, loans, core deposits, and improved net interest margin are the highlights for the first quarter.  I attribute the Company’s continued financial success to the Fidelity Banker’s commitment to our client’s financial success and the marketplace acceptance of our customer centric business model.”



Net interest income increased $0.5 million, or 9%, to $6.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, from $5.6 million recorded during the first quarter of 2015.  Net interest income earned was higher with a 12 basis point savings on rates of interest-bearing liabilities outpacing the 4 basis point decline in yield on interest earning assets.  Additional revenue from a $41 million and $18 million higher average balance in the loan and investment portfolios, respectively, added $0.4 million to interest income.  Lower interest costs of $0.1 million occurred primarily from an $8 million lower debt level and the lower repricing of deposit rates.  These more than offset the added interest expense from the $39 million growth in interest-bearing deposit account balances increasing interest expense on deposits by $23 thousand.  Cost of funds further declined 9 basis points from these interest savings plus the $13 million growth in average non-interest bearing deposits.  The earning asset growth at lower yields pressured spread lower, but was outpaced by interest cost savings, which expanded net interest margin by 6 basis points to 3.70% for the first quarter of 2016, compared to 3.64% for the same 2015 quarter.



A provision for loan losses of $150 thousand was recorded during both first quarters of 2016 and 2015.   The allowance for loan losses was $9.4 million, or 1.69% of total loans at March 31, 2016 compared to $9.5 million, or 1.77% of total loans at March 31, 2015.



Total other income recorded for the quarters ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was $1.7 million.  Other income declined due to $122 thousand fewer gains from loans sold, a $47 thousand reduction in fiduciary fees and $23 thousand less financial service fees that offset revenue growth from a $73 thousand increase in deposit service charges and $54 thousand more interchange fees, when compared to the first quarter of 2015.



Total other operating expenses increased $0.3 million, or 6%, to $5.4 million from $5.1 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.  The other operating expenses primarily increased due to $0.2 million more salary and employee benefits plus increases of $0.1 million from data processing and $51


 

thousand in additional professional expenses incurred partially offset by reductions of $0.1 million from less other real estate owned expenses and $23 thousand fewer premises and equipment expenses, during the 2016 first quarter compared to the same 2015 period.



The Company’s assets increased $34.0 million to total $763.4 million at March 31, 2016 compared to $729.4 million at December 31, 2015.  This asset growth resulted in higher cash and investment securities balances of $28.8 million and $3.4 million, respectively, funded from $32.7 million increase in interest-bearing deposits, $14.6 million additional non-interest-bearing deposits plus a $2.0 million increase in shareholders’ equity, partially offset by $15.4 million less short-term borrowings.
