MW Bancorp, Inc. Reports Results for the Year Ended June 30, 2017

Cincinnati, Ohio – August 14, 2017 – MW Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) (OTC: MWBC), the parent company of Watch Hill Bank (the “Bank”), today reported net income of $1.5 million, or $1.77 per diluted share, for the year ended June 30, 2017. Net income increased by $804,000, or 116.7%, compared to net income of $689,000 reported for the year ended June 30, 2016.

The increase in net income for the year ended June 30, 2017, compared to the year ended June 30, 2016, was due primarily to recognition of a $1.3 million tax benefit related to the reversal of the remaining balance of the impairment valuation allowance on the Company’s deferred tax asset (the Company recognized a $680,000 partial reversal of the valuation allowance in the period ended March 31, 2016), along with increases of $563,000 in net interest income and $99,000 in noninterest income, which were partially offset by a $455,000 increase in noninterest expense.

Interest income increased $558,000, or 14.1%, for the year ended June 30, 2017, compared to the year ended June 30, 2016, primarily due to a $607,000 increase in interest on loans. Total interest expense decreased $5,000, or 0.4%, for the year ended June 30, 2017, compared to the year ended June 30, 2016, due primarily to a decrease in interest expense on deposits of $59,000, or 6.7%.

Noninterest income increased $99,000, or 26.2%, for the year ended June 30, 2017 over the year ended June 30, 2016, primarily due to a $127,000 increase in gain on sale of loans.

Noninterest expense increased $455,000, or 14.5%, for the year ended June 30, 2017 compared to the year ended June 30, 2016. This increase was due primarily to an increase of $312,000, or 17.6%, in salaries, employee benefits and directors fees expense, due primarily to increases in staffing levels, bonus and incentive compensation and expenses related to the new stock-based compensation plan; an increase of $69,000, or 29.9%, in occupancy and equipment expense, due primarily to costs associated with the Company’s new office location, which opened in September 2015, and new drive through ATM/ITM facility, which opened in January 2017; and an increase of $106,000, or 74.1%, in data processing, which, along with pro-rata increases in other operating expenses, was due primarily to the Company’s overall growth year-to-year.

The Company reported total assets of $143.2 million at June 30, 2017, an increase of $24.2 million, or 20.4%, over June 30, 2016. Total loans increased by 19.8% to $121.5 million; total deposits increased by 25.9% to $97.2 million; and stockholders’ equity increased by 7.6% to $17.3 million at June 30, 2017 compared to June 30, 2016.

Total nonperforming loans were $856,000 at June 30, 2017, compared to $1.2 million at June 30, 2016. Classified loans totaled $1.2 million at June 30, 2017, compared to $1.5 million at June 30, 2016, and total loans past due greater than 30 days were $656,000 and $601,000 at those respective dates. The Company had net recoveries totaling $5,000 for the year ended June 30, 2017, compared to net recoveries of $20,000 for the year ended June 30, 2016. As a percentage of nonperforming loans, the allowance for loan losses was 191.6% at June 30, 2017, compared to 135.2% at June 30, 2016.

The Company’s deferred tax assets totaled $2.1 million at June 30, 2017. Should the corporate income tax rate be reduced through legislation enacted by the U.S. Government from the current 34% level, the Company would be required to adjust the carrying value of the deferred tax assets using the new tax rate, which would result in a charge to earnings in the period such legislation is enacted.

The Company was formed in 2014 to serve as the stock holding company for the Bank following its mutual-to-stock conversion, which was completed effective January 29, 2015. The Company issued 876,163 shares at an offering price of $10.00 per share. Proceeds of the offering, net of offering costs and shares acquired by the ESOP, totaled $6.7 million. The Company paid dividends totaling $0.60 per share in fiscal 2017, and the Company repurchased 20,000 shares of its common stock in fiscal 2016 pursuant to its previously announced stock repurchase program.
