MBT Financial Corp. Announces First Quarter 2017 Earnings and Dividend

 

MONROE, Mich., April 27, 2017 – MBT Financial Corp., (Nasdaq: MBTF), the parent company of Monroe Bank & Trust, reported a preliminary net profit of $3,180,000 ($0.14 per share, basic and diluted), in the first quarter of 2017, compared to a profit of $2,997,000 ($0.13 per share, basic and diluted), in the first quarter of 2016. This represents a 6.1% increase in net income compared to last year.

 

The Company also announced that it will pay a quarterly dividend of $0.05 on May 18, 2017 to shareholders of record as of May 11, 2017. This is an increase of $0.02, or 66.7% compared to the dividend paid in the same quarter last year.

 

The core earnings components of Net Interest Income, Non Interest Income excluding securities gains, and Non Interest Expense each improved compared to the first quarter of 2016. The net interest margin increased from 3.09% to 3.21% and the average amount of interest earning assets increased $2.2 million. Even though the quarter was one day shorter this year, the net interest income increased $305,000, or 3.3% in the first quarter of 2017 compared to the first quarter of 2016.

 

The provision for loan losses increased $100,000 compared to last year from a negative expense of $300,000 in the first quarter of 2016 to a negative expense of $200,000 recorded this quarter. Recoveries exceeded charge offs, classified assets decreased, and historical loss ratios improved, but the amount that the Allowance for Loan Losses could be reduced was impacted by the loan growth. Total Loans increased $10.5 million during the first quarter, and the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses was reduced from $8.5 million, or 1.30% of loans at the end of 2016 to $8.3 million, or 1.26% as of the end of the first quarter of 2017.

 

Non-interest income, excluding gains and losses on securities transactions increased slightly from $3,794,000 to $3,810,000 in the first quarter of 2017 compared to the first quarter of 2016. Securities gains and losses decreased $310,000 and total non-interest income decreased $294,000 or 7.1%.

 

Total non-interest expenses decreased $421,000, or 4.4% in the first quarter of 2017 compared to the first quarter of 2016. Salaries and benefits decreased $184,000 or 3.3%, professional fees decreased $63,000, the FDIC deposit insurance assessment decreased $62,000 and all other non-interest expenses decreased $112,000.

 

Total assets of the company decreased $10.7 million, or 0.8% compared to December 31, 2016. Capital decreased $11.6 million during the quarter as the payment of the special and regular dividends exceeded the net income and the increase in the Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss (AOCL) component of capital. The ratio of equity to assets decreased from 10.40% at the end of 2016 to 9.62% at the end of the first quarter of 2017. The Bank’s Tier 1 Leverage ratio decreased from 10.75% as of December 31, 2016 to 9.65% as of March 31, 2017.

 

H. Douglas Chaffin, President and CEO, commented, “We are off to a good start in 2017, with the loan growth, the improvement in the net interest margin, the reduction in classified assets, and the reduction in non-interest expenses. We plan to continue our focus on each of these items in 2017, as well as improving our non-interest income. Today’s dividend declaration represents a conservative 36% payout of our profits for the quarter, reflecting our efforts to actively manage our capital while we look for the right opportunities to grow throughout our existing branch network and strategic acquisitions.  We remain confident in our ability to maintain our position as the premier independent provider of financial services in the communities we serve, despite challenges in our current environment.”
