Minerva, Ohio— April 25, 2011 (OTCBB: CBKM) Consumers Bancorp, Inc. (Consumers) today reported third fiscal quarter 2011 earnings per share of $0.24 compared to $0.28 for the previous quarter ended December 31, 2010 and compared to $0.21 for the same period ended March 31, 2010. Net income for the third fiscal quarter of 2011 was $482 thousand, a decrease of $92 thousand from the previous quarter ended December 31, 2010 and an increase of $57 thousand, or 13.4%, from the same period last year.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2011, net income was $1.7 million compared to $1.5 million for the same period last year.  Fiscal year-to-date net income per share increased by 13.7% to $0.83 compared to $0.73 for the same period last year. Return on average assets and return on average equity for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 were 0.81% and 9.28%, respectively, compared to 0.78% and 8.80%, respectively, for the same period last year.

Net interest income for the third fiscal quarter of 2011 increased by $183 thousand from the same period last year, with interest income increasing by $45 thousand and interest expense decreasing by $138 thousand. The net interest margin was 4.20% for both the current quarter ended March 31, 2011 and the previous quarter ended December 31, 2010 and this compares with 4.41% for the same year ago period. The Corporation’s yield on average interest-earning assets was 4.86% for the three months ended March 31, 2011, a decline from 5.41% for the same period last year. The Corporation’s cost of funds decreased to 0.89% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from 1.28% for the same period last year.

Other income was $402 thousand for the third fiscal quarter of 2011 compared with $399 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2010. Other income in the third fiscal quarter of 2011 was impacted by an additional $150 thousand impairment charge on the Bank’s only trust preferred holding, which had an adjusted amortized cost of $372 thousand as of March 31, 2011. In the third fiscal quarter of 2010, other income was impacted by a $100 thousand impairment charge on that same trust preferred holding and a $51 thousand loss from the sale of other real estate owned. Other expenses increased $127 thousand, or 5.5%, for the third fiscal quarter of 2011 from the same period last year.

Ralph J. Lober, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “quarter and year-to-date results reflect consistent core operations and strong balance sheet growth. Like most of the industry, our deposit growth has out-paced our loan demand over the last year. As the economy improves, we expect deposits to moderate and loan demand to improve allowing us to gradually shift funds from lower yielding investments into higher yielding asset classes. Our business development efforts and geographic expansion to Hartville and Lake Township Ohio will provide opportunities to grow the loan portfolio.”

Assets at March 31, 2011 totaled $289.8 million, an increase of $26.4 million from June 30, 2010.  From June 30, 2010, total securities increased by $17.9 million, gross loans increased $2.6 million and deposits increased $25.6 million.
 
 
 

 
 
Non-performing assets were $2.1 million at March 31, 2011, compared with $2.4 million at June 30, 2010 and $2.7 million at March 31, 2010. Non-performing assets declined to their lowest level in a two year period. Non-performing assets to total assets improved to 0.72% at March 31, 2011 from 1.06% at March 31, 2010.
 
The allowance for loan losses as a percent of total loans at March 31, 2011 was 1.19% and 1.33% at March 31, 2010. For the nine month period ended March 31, 2011, annualized net charge-offs to total loans were 0.39% compared with 0.14% for the same period last year. “The most recent quarter brought the resolution of several non-performing credits for which the Bank had specific reserves. While these actions result in a decreased reserve balance at quarter end, we believe that, based on recent information, the allowance for loan losses is sufficient to meet probable incurred losses. The current level of non-performing assets and strengthening of borrower financial positions are reflected in our analysis,” commented Lober.
