“Our 2011 first quarter was the fifth consecutive reporting period with year over year earnings improvement,” said Daniel P. Reininga, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our asset quality remains very strong, and our healthy capital levels insures that we are positioned to pursue all appropriate growth opportunities within our retail service area.”
Net interest income was $3.6 million for the first quarter 2011, an increase of $232,000 from $3.4 million during first quarter 2010. The increased net interest income was reflective of a 3.8% increase in interest income and a 2.8% decrease in interest expense. The Bank’s first quarter 2011 average loan balance increased by $6.0 million, and the average balance for investment securities increased by $36.0 million compared with the prior year quarter.
Net interest margin for first quarter 2011 was 3.24%, down 18 basis points compared to 3.42% for the first quarter 2010, and up 13 basis points compared to the linked fourth quarter of 2010. Lower market interest rates on loans and investment securities resulted in a 39-basis point decline in the rate on interest earning assets in the first quarter of 2011 compared with first quarter 2010. This was partially offset by the Bank’s continued disciplined deposit pricing, which resulted in a 27-basis point reduction in the total cost of funds compared with the prior year quarter, despite a $54.8 million increase in average deposits during first quarter 2011 compared to the prior year quarter.
Non-interest income for first quarter 2011 increased $34,000 compared with the prior year quarter. First quarter 2011 non-interest income included a gain on sale of investments of $57,000, which resulted primarily from recovery of a previously recognized impairment loss recorded on a single investment security in 2008. This gain was partially offset by a $33,000 decrease in bank service charges and fees during the first quarter 2011 related to implementation of new federal regulations requiring banks to expand disclosures of overdraft fees, which allows customers to “opt out” of these types of fees.
First quarter 2011 non-interest expense of $3.0 million increased $81,000, or 2.8%, compared to first quarter 2010. The increased non-interest expense was due primarily to a $73,000 increase in occupancy and equipment expense, a $15,000 increase in loan servicing costs, partially offset by a $32,000 decrease in advertising expense. The Bank’s first quarter 2011 salary expense was affected by annual merit increases and increased staffing related to the April 2010 opening of a new branch in Depew, NY, offset by a decrease in expenses for accrued liability on supplemental employee retirement plans.
The first quarter 2011 provision for loan losses of $20,000 was down 60% compared to the prior year quarter and down 86% compared to fourth quarter 2010, reflecting the quality of the Bank’s loan portfolio. Nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans were 0.86% as of March 31, 2011, an increase of 2 basis points in comparison to March 31, 2010, and down 3 basis points compared to December 31, 2010. The Bank’s ratio of nonperforming loans to total loans remains significantly below industry averages, reflecting its overall stability and favorable asset quality.
Total assets grew $4.9 million to $483.9 million as of March 31, 2011, an annualized rate of 4.0%, from December 31, 2010, reflecting a $3.1 million increase in loans receivable, net and $9.1 million increase in investment securities, offset by reduced balances in cash and cash equivalents.
