MBT Financial Corp. Announces Third Quarter 2017

Earnings and Quarterly Dividend

 

MONROE, Mich., October 26, 2017 – MBT Financial Corp., (Nasdaq: MBTF), the parent company of Monroe Bank & Trust, reported a preliminary net profit of $3,933,000 ($0.17 per share, basic and diluted), in the third quarter of 2017, compared to a profit of $3,687,000 ($0.16 per share, basic and diluted), in the third quarter of 2016. The profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 is $10,753,000, compared to $10,923,000 for the first nine months of 2016. When adjusting for non-recurring items such as negative loan loss provisions, gains and losses on Other Real Estate transactions, securities gains, and an adjustment to the wealth management fee income accrual, the adjusted operating income is $14,368,000 for the first three quarters of 2017, compared to $12,330,000 for the first three quarters of 2016 for an increase of 16.5%.

 

The Company also announced that it will pay a quarterly dividend of $0.06 on November 16, 2017 to shareholders of record as of November 9, 2017. This is an increase of $0.02, or 50% compared to the dividend paid in the same quarter last year.

 

The Net Interest Income for the third quarter of 2017 increased $716,000, or 7.5% as the net interest margin improved from 3.11% in the third quarter of 2016 to 3.38% in the third quarter of 2017 due to higher interest rates and growth in the loan portfolio.

 

The provision for loan losses was $0 for the third quarter of 2017, an increase of $700,000 compared to last year’s third quarter, when we recorded a negative expense of $700,000. Asset quality and historical loss ratios improved, but the growth in the loan portfolio offset the need for another negative provision expense. Total Loans increased $10.2 million, or 1.5% during the third quarter, which is an annualized growth rate of 6.0%. The Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses was reduced from $8.1 million, or 1.19% of loans at the end of the second quarter to a still relatively robust $8.0 million, or 1.15% as of the end of the third quarter.

 

Non-interest income was little changed from the third quarter of 2016 to the third quarter of 2017, decreasing $4,000, or 0.1%. Non-interest expense decreased $24,000, or 0.3%, as a $201,000 decrease in salaries and benefits was offset by increases in marketing expense and professional fees.

 

Total assets of the company decreased $9.9 million, or 0.7%, compared to December 31, 2016, to $1.35 billion. Capital decreased $5.1 million during the first three quarters of the year as the payment of the special and regular dividends exceeded the net income. The Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss (AOCL) component of capital improved $3.0 million as the market value of Available for Sale investment securities improved. The ratio of equity to assets decreased from 10.40% at the end of 2016 to 10.09% at the end of the third quarter of 2017. The Bank’s Tier 1 Leverage ratio decreased from 10.75% as of December 31, 2016 to 10.12 % as of September 30, 2017.

 

H. Douglas Chaffin, President and CEO, commented, “We continue to see solid loan growth, and the improvement in net interest margin combined with well-controlled non-interest expenses contributed to improved core earnings year to date. We plan to continue our focus on each of these items for the rest of 2017, and our new business pipeline remains strong. Notably, we also expect credit quality to remain strong, as we see nothing that might inhibit our strong quality metrics in the near term. Our focus on managing our capital has also allowed us to bring more value to our shareholders, through the increased dividends we announced today. We will continue to keep our eyes open for the right opportunities to grow through strategic acquisitions, while remaining disciplined in that regard.  We remain confident in our ability to maintain our position as the premier independent provider of financial services in the communities we serve.”
