Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure
On May 31, 2016, Civista Bank (“Civista”), the banking subsidiary of Civista Bancshares, Inc., received a payoff on a nonperforming loan. This particular loan had been analyzed previously and had been charged down based on a deterioration of real estate collateral values during the recent recession. In the payoff received, Civista has recovered the charged down amount of approximately $1,303,000.
In addition, Civista has recovered approximately $960,000 in non-accrued interest on this particular credit. Typically, payments or payoffs received on nonperforming loans do not rise to this level of recovery, however, Civista has commented often through the recession that it would work with customers over the long term when eventual recovery was possible.
The recovery of approximately $960,000 in non-accrued interest income will result in after additional after-tax income of approximately $630,000. The recovery of approximately $1,303,000 in the previous charge down, and subsequent reversal of provision, will result in additional after tax income of approximately $860,000. Given the unusual size of the recovery, we felt it is appropriate to make this individual reversal of provision for loan losses at this time and to continue with our normal quarterly reserve adequacy analysis at June 30, 2016. This loan has been paid off in full, hence there will be no other adjustments related to this loan in the future.
Civista Bancshares, Inc. is a $1.5 billion financial holding company headquartered in Sandusky, Ohio. The Company’s banking subsidiary, The Citizens Banking Company, operates 28 locations in North Central, West Central and Southwestern Ohio.
