MW Bancorp, Inc. Reports Third Quarter Results

 

Cincinnati, Ohio – April 28, 2016 – MW Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) (OTC: MWBC), the parent company of Watch Hill Bank (the “Bank”), today reported net income of $669,000, or $0.83 per share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2016. Net income increased by $606,000, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2015.

 

The Company also reported net income of $739,000, or $0.92 per share, for the nine months ended March 31, 2016, which represented an increase of $597,000 over the nine months ended March 31, 2015.

 

The increase in net income for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to the same quarter in 2015, was due primarily to recognition of a $680,000 tax benefit related to the partial reversal of the impairment valuation allowance on the Company’s deferred tax assets, along with a $76,000 increase in net interest income and a $136,000 increase in non-interest income, which were partially offset by a $291,000 increase in non-interest expenses. Interest income increased $137,000, or 15.9%, for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2015, primarily due to a $128,000 increase in interest on loans receivable. Total interest expense increased $61,000, or 24.7%, for the three months ended March 31, 2016, over the three months ended March 31, 2015, due primarily to an increase in interest expense on deposits of $52,000, or 30.1%. Non-interest income increased $136,000, or 348.7%, for the three months ended March 31, 2016 over the three months ended March 31, 2015, primarily due to a $109,000 increase in gain on sale of loans. Non-interest expense increased $291,000, or 49.5%, for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2015, primarily due to an increase of $186,000, or 56.2%, in salaries, employee benefits and directors fees expense, as the Company increased staffing levels and bonus and incentive compensation.

 

The increase in net income for the nine months ended March 31, 2016, compared to the same period in 2015, was due primarily to recognition of the $680,000 tax benefit related to the partial reversal of the impairment valuation allowance on the Company’s deferred tax assets, along with a $282,000 increase in net interest income and a $153,000 increase in non-interest income, which were partially offset by a $540,000 increase in non-interest expenses. Interest income increased $451,000, or 18.0%, for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 over the nine months ended March 31, 2015. This increase was primarily attributable to a $436,000 increase in interest on loans receivable. Total interest expense increased $169,000, or 23.0%, for the nine months ended March 31, 2016, over the nine months ended March 31, 2015, due primarily to an increase in interest expense on deposits of $132,000, or 25.2%. Non-interest income increased $153,000, or 106.3%, for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 over the nine months ended March 31, 2015, primarily due to a $134,000 increase in gain on sale of loans. Non-interest expense increased $540,000, or 31.1%, for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2015, due primarily to an increase of $280,000, or 27.4%, in salaries, employee benefits and directors fees expense, as the Company increased staffing levels and bonus and incentive compensation.

 

 

 

 

 

The Company reported total assets of $119.2 million at March 31, 2016, an increase of $12.4 million, or 11.6% over June 30, 2015.
