First Financial Corporation reports 2nd Quarter results

TERRE HAUTE, INDIANA - First Financial Corporation (NASDAQ:THFF) today announced results for the second quarter of 2016. Net income increased 18.9% to $8.2 million compared to $6.9 million for the same period of 2015. The increase was primarily driven by lower loan loss provisioning and lower benefits expense. Diluted net income per common share increased 25.9% to $0.68 from $0.54 for the comparable period of 2015.

The Corporation further reported net income of $21.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 versus $14.7 million for the comparable period of 2015, an increase of 49.2%. Diluted net income per common share also increased 54.4% to $1.76 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 versus $1.14 for the comparable period of 2015. This increase included an after-tax gain on the sale of the Corporation’s insurance subsidiary of $5.84 million during the first quarter of 2016. Return on assets for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was 1.48% compared to .98% for the six months ended June 30, 2015.

Norman L. Lowery, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We are pleased with our second quarter 2016 results. We continue to see increases in our interest income, have lower credit costs, and increases in most areas of our non-interest income. It was a very well-rounded quarter.”

Book value per share was $33.89 at June 30, 2016, a 9.0% increase from the $31.09 at June 30, 2016. Shareholders’ equity increased 3.6% to $413.2 million from $399.1 million on June 30, 2015.

On February 3, 2016 the Corporation announced a stock repurchase plan to acquire 5% of the Corporation’s outstanding common stock. During the second quarter of 2016 the corporation repurchased 72,174 shares as part of the repurchase plan, bringing the total shares repurchased to date to 558,174.

Average total loans for the second quarter of 2016 were $1.78 billion, an increase of $13.0 million or .7%, versus the $1.77 billion for the comparable period in 2015. Total loans outstanding were $1.80 billion, an increase from $1.78 billion as of June 30, 2015. On a linked quarter basis, average total loans increased $24.0 million, or 1.37%, from $1.76 billion for the quarter ending March 31, 2016.

Average total deposits for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 were $2.42 billion versus $2.46 billion as of June 30, 2015. On a linked quarter basis, average deposits increased $4 million to $2.42 billion for the quarter ending June 30, 2016.

The company’s tangible common equity to tangible asset ratio was 12.89% at June 30, 2016, compared to 12.15% at June 30, 2015.

Net interest income for the second quarter of 2016 was $26.1 million compared to the $25.9 million reported for the same period of 2015. The net interest margin for the six months ended June 30, 2016 increased to 4.05% compared to the 4.00% reported at June 30, 2015.






The provision for loan losses for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was $435 thousand compared to $1.15 million for the second quarter of 2015. Net charge-offs were $856 thousand for the second quarter of 2016 compared to $938 thousand in the same period of 2015. The Corporation’s allowance for loan losses as of June 30, 2016 was $19.5 million compared to $19.9 million as of June 30, 2015. The allowance for loan losses as a percent of total loans was 1.08% as of June 30, 2016 compared to 1.11% as of June 30, 2015.

Nonperforming loans decreased 23.1% to $27.6 million as of June 30, 2016 versus $35.8 million as of June 30, 2015. The ratio of nonperforming loans to total loans and leases was 1.53% as of June 30, 2016 versus 2.01% as of June 30, 2015.

Non-interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was $8.2 million compared to $9.8 million as of June 30, 2015. The decline was primarily related to the sale of the Corporation’s insurance subsidiary, which reduced insurance commissions by $1.9 million quarter-over-quarter.

Non-interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2016 decreased $2.6 million to $22.8 million compared to $25.3 million in 2015. On a year-over-year basis, salaries and employee benefits decreased $3.4 million, driven by lower health insurance and pension expense. The Corporation’s efficiency ratio was 53.69% for the six months ending June 30, 2016 versus 65.84% for the same period in 2015.
    
First Financial Corporation is the holding company for First Financial Bank N.A. in Indiana and Illinois, and The Morris Plan Company of Terre Haute.
