Southwest Georgia Financial Corporation Reports
13% Increase in Net Income
for the 2016 Third Quarter
MOULTRIE, GEORGIA, October 25, 2016 -- Southwest Georgia Financial Corporation (the “Corporation”) (NYSE MKT: SGB), a full-service community bank holding company, today reported its results of operations for the third quarter ended September 30, 2016.
“Our performance was strong in the quarter as double-digit growth in loans and deposits drove a 13% increase in net income,” commented DeWitt Drew, President and CEO. “We continue to achieve excellent results from our market expansion, which is making a significant contribution to our higher loan originations and healthy pipeline. In consideration of our increased earnings power, solid balance sheet, and excellent asset quality, the board recently increased the quarterly dividend by 10%, reflecting our long-time commitment to returning earnings to shareholders.”
Third Quarter and Nine-Month Income Highlights
· Third quarter net income increased 13% to $973 thousand, or $0.38 per diluted share, from $857 thousand, or $0.33 per diluted share. Net interest income improved 12% to $4.0 million when compared with last year’s third quarter due primarily to higher interest income and fees on loans.
· For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, net income was $3.0 million, or $1.19 per diluted share, up 20% from $2.5 million, or $0.99 per diluted share, for the same period in 2015. Net interest income was up $1.3 million, or 12%, year-over-year to $11.8 million, more than offsetting increased personnel expenses due to expansion in Tifton and Valdosta.
Balance Sheet Trends and Asset Quality
· Total assets at quarter-end were $443.0 million, up 13% from $392.0 million at September 30, 2015. The increase in assets and change in asset mix reflects loan growth that was funded by increased deposits, reallocated funds from the investment portfolio, and an increase in Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings.
· Total loans increased $48.1 million, or 20%, to $287.0 million from the third quarter 2015 and were up over 14% from year-end 2015.
· Total deposits were up $41.5 million, or 13%, to $364.3 million at September 30, 2016, compared with the prior year. While deposit growth lagged loan growth, noninterest-bearing deposits increased over 25% to $119.0 million year-over-year and 17% since year end. Noninterest-bearing deposit growth was primarily in commercial and business accounts.
· Nonperforming loans were $352 thousand at the end of the third quarter, down $1.0 million from a year ago.
Capital Management
· Tangible book value per share at September 30, 2016, was $15.33, up from $14.31 at September 30, 2015.
· In September 2016, the Corporation paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.11 per common share, a 10% increase compared with $0.10 per common share paid each quarter since the previous increase in March 2015. Southwest Georgia Financial Corporation or its predecessor, Southwest Georgia Bank, has paid cash dividends for 88 consecutive years.
