First Capital, Inc. Reports Record Quarterly Earnings

CORYDON, Ind., July 25, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- First Capital, Inc. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ:FCAP), the holding company for First Harrison Bank (the “Bank”), today reported net income of $2.2 million or $0.66 per diluted share for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, compared to $1.8 million or $0.53 per diluted share for the same period in 2016.  The increase in net income is primarily due to increases in net interest income after provision for loan losses and noninterest income.

Net interest income after provision for loan losses increased $293,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2016. Interest income increased $289,000 when comparing the two periods due to an increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets from $690.9 million for the second quarter of 2016 to $711.1 million for the second quarter of 2017 and an increase in the average tax-equivalent yield on interest-earning assets from 3.74% for the second quarter of 2016 to 3.81% for the second quarter of 2017.  The increase in the average tax-equivalent yield for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016 is primarily due to growth in the loan portfolio and an increase in short-term interest rates, partially offset by the effect of purchase accounting adjustments related to the December 2015 acquisition of Peoples Bancorp, Inc. of Bullitt County and its wholly-owned bank subsidiary Peoples Bank of Bullitt County (collectively, “Peoples”), headquartered in Shepherdsville, Kentucky.  Interest expense decreased $110,000 when comparing the periods as the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased from 0.34% to 0.25%.  This was partially offset by an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities from $536.3 million to $543.9 million, when comparing the two periods.  The decrease in the average cost of funds is primarily due to the repricing of savings and interest-bearing demand deposits acquired from Peoples.  As a result of the changes in interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, the interest rate spread increased from 3.40% for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 to 3.56% for the same period in 2017. 

Based on management’s analysis of the allowance for loan losses and due primarily to growth in the loan portfolio, the provision for loan losses increased from $150,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 to $256,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2017.  The Bank recognized net charge-offs of $280,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 compared to $147,000 for the same period in 2017. 

Noninterest income increased $241,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 primarily due to increases in service charges on deposit accounts and gains on the sale of loans, partially offset by a decrease in gains on the sale of securities. 

Noninterest expenses decreased $41,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2016.  Decreases in net losses on foreclosed real estate, other operating expenses and professional fees were partially offset by increases in compensation and benefit expense, data processing expense and occupancy expense.  The increase in occupancy expense is primarily due to the May 2017 opening of the Bank’s newest office in the River Ridge development in Clark County Indiana. 

For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company reported net income of $3.7 million or $1.12 per diluted share compared to net income of $3.4 million or $1.01 per diluted share for the same period in 2016.   

Net interest income after provision for loan losses increased $295,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016.  Interest income increased $286,000 when comparing the two periods, due to an increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets from $681.1 million for 2016 to $707.7 million for 2017, partially offset by a decrease in the average tax-equivalent yield on interest-earning assets from 3.80% for 2016 to 3.76% for 2017.  Interest expense decreased $251,000 as the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased from 0.36% for 2016 to 0.26% for 2017, partially offset by an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities from $525.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 to $545.3 million for the same period in 2017. As a result of the changes in interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, the interest rate spread increased from 3.44% for the six months ended June 30, 2016 to 3.50% for the six months ended June 30, 2017.

The provision for loan losses was $467,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $225,000 for the same period in 2016.  The Bank recognized net charge-offs of $326,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $451,000 for the same period in 2016. 

Noninterest income increased $326,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2016.  The increase was primarily due to increases in service charges on deposit accounts and gains on the sale of loans of $211,000 and $93,000, respectively, when comparing the two periods. 

Noninterest expenses increased $124,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016, primarily due to increases in data processing expense of $192,000, compensation and benefit expense of $97,000 and net loss on foreclosed real estate of $69,000 when comparing the two periods.  This was partially offset by decreases of $123,000 in other operating expenses and $105,000 in professional fees. 

Total assets as of June 30, 2017 were $763.2 million compared to $743.7 million at December 31, 2016.  Investment securities and net loans receivable increased $21.3 million and $13.3 million, respectively, which was partially offset by a decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $9.5 million.  Investment securities increased due to management investing excess liquidity in government agency mortgage-backed securities and municipal obligations.  Loan growth was primarily due to increases in residential construction loans, commercial business loans and land loans of $5.6 million, $4.1 million and $4.0 million, respectively.  Deposits also increased $15.7 million primarily due to increases in noninterest-bearing demand deposits during the six months ended June 30, 2017.  Nonperforming assets (consisting of nonaccrual loans, accruing loans 90 days or more past due, troubled debt restructurings on accrual status, and foreclosed real estate) decreased from $8.4 million at December 31, 2016 to $7.5 million at June 30, 2017 as management continues to work to resolve nonperforming assets acquired from Peoples. 

At June 30, 2017, the Bank was considered well-capitalized under applicable federal regulatory capital guidelines.

The Bank currently has eighteen offices in the Indiana communities of Corydon, Edwardsville, Greenville, Floyds Knobs, Palmyra, New Albany, New Salisbury, Jeffersonville, Salem, Lanesville and Charlestown and the Kentucky communities of Shepherdsville, Mt. Washington and Lebanon Junction.
