MBT Financial Corp. Announces First Quarter 2011 Results

MONROE, Mich., April 19, 2011 – MBT Financial Corp., (Nasdaq: MBTF), the parent company of Monroe Bank & Trust, reported a net loss of $4.0 million, or $0.23 per share, in the first quarter of 2011, compared to the profit of $348,000, or $0.02 per share in the first quarter of 2010. The loss was due to continuing high credit costs, including losses of $1.2 million on other real estate owned, and a provision for loan loss reserves totaling $5.8 million.

The Net Interest Income for the first quarter of 2011 was $8.8 million, a decrease of $0.6 million, or 6.8% compared to the same period in 2010. The net interest margin remained relatively stable, decreasing slightly from 3.13% in the first quarter of 2010 to 3.11% in the first quarter of 2011.  The net interest income decreased because the average earning assets decreased $90.1 million for the past twelve months, or 7.2%. The decrease in average earning assets included a decrease of $91.5 million, or 10.9%, in average loans, as weak economic conditions continue to have a negative impact on loan demand and growth.

The provision for loan losses increased from $2.2 million last year to $5.75 million in the first quarter of 2011 due to an increase in the net charge offs from $2.2 million to $3.5 million, and to increase the allowance for loan losses to reflect recent historical loss rates.

Non interest income, excluding securities gains, decreased 4.0% from $3.7 million in the first quarter of 2010 to $3.6 million in the first quarter of 2011. Declines in origination fees from mortgage loans sold and deposit service charges were the primary causes of this decrease. Total non interest expenses decreased $174,000, or 1.6%. The bank’s efforts to control expenses resulted in significant reductions in salaries, employee benefits, occupancy, and equipment expenses.

Total assets of the company increased $10.2 million compared to December 31, 2010, mainly due to the increase in deposit funding. Core deposit activity remains strong, with total Deposits increasing $13.2 million, or 1.3%. Capital decreased $3.6 million since year end, and with the small increase in assets, the ratio of equity to assets decreased from 5.88% at December 31, 2010 to 5.55% at March 31, 2011. The bank remains adequately capitalized as measured by applicable regulatory standards.  The company’s already strong liquidity position improved during the quarter, with cash and investments increasing from 31.7% of assets at the end of 2010 to 34.4% at the end of the first quarter of 2011.

H. Douglas Chaffin, President and CEO, commented, “Our results for the first quarter of 2011 were below our expectations because the economic recovery is taking longer than expected to improve our asset quality and earnings. Fortunately, we have a stable net interest margin, a solid deposit base, a very liquid balance sheet, and adequate capital, so when the eventual recovery occurs, we will be well positioned to participate in the growth.”

Mr. Chaffin concluded, “Local economic indicators have shown improvement recently, and we remain optimistic.  Improvements in employment are beginning to be reflected in improvements in past dues.  We will continue to focus our efforts on improving asset quality, maintaining liquidity, strengthening capital, seeking new sources of revenue, and controlling expenses. Our board is currently considering various options that might be available to raise additional capital and we are seeking shareholder approval to authorize additional capital securities at our Annual Meeting of Shareholders on May 5, 2011. We still have much work ahead of us given our current environment, but we remain confident in our ability to maintain our position as the premier independent provider of financial services in the communities we serve.”
