CARROLLTON BANCORP REPORTS SECOND QUARTER AND YEAR TO DATE LOSS
COLUMBIA, MARYLAND - Carrollton Bancorp, (NASDAQ: CRRB) the parent company of Carrollton Bank, announced net losses of $164,804 and $417,268 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012, compared to net losses of $697,358 and $526,063 for the comparable periods in 2011. Net losses attributable to common stockholders for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 were $301,883 ($0.12 loss per diluted share) and $691,426 ($0.27 loss per diluted share) compared to net losses attributable to common stockholders of $834,437 ($0.32 loss per diluted share) and $800,220 ($0.31 loss per diluted share) for the comparable periods in 2011.
The Company’s pre-tax loss was $289,526 for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 compared to a pre-tax loss of $1.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2011.
The improvement in operating results for the quarter, as compared to the same period in 2011, are primarily a result of a $1.0 million decrease in the provision for loan losses, a reduction in securities write downs of $414,000 and a $298,000 improvement in mortgage fee income. These improvements are partially offset by a $345,000 decrease in net interest income, a $305,000 increase in professional fees and a $108,000 increase in costs and write downs associated with foreclosed real estate. The increases in professional fees are associated with legal and investment banking expenses incurred in connection with the planned merger with Jefferson Bancorp, Inc. announced on April 9, 2012.
Nonperforming assets (nonaccrual loans and foreclosed real estate) decreased by 32.6% from $9.9 million at June 30, 2011 to $6.7 million at June 30, 2012. The allowance for loan losses represented 1.86% of outstanding loans as of June 30, 2012 compared to 1.75% at June 30, 2011. The Company experienced net charge-offs of $753,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 as compared to $1.2 million for the same period in 2011.
The Company’s strategy of aggressively managing the size of the balance sheet, continued to benefit capital ratios. The balance sheet reductions over the past 30 months have improved the Company’s regulatory capital ratios even though it has generated no capital growth after accounting for dividends on preferred stock. We continue to believe that the announced agreement to merge with Jefferson Bancorp will, upon completion, create a larger and better capitalized bank which will enable us to pursue opportunities to grow organically and through additional acquisitions.
Noninterest expenses increased by $426,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 2012, compared to the same period in 2011. The quarterly increase resulted from increased mortgage related incentives included in salaries, increased professional fees associated with legal and investment banking costs related to the announced agreement to merge with Jefferson Bancorp, Inc. and an increase in expenses associated with the management and disposal of foreclosed real estate. These increases were somewhat offset by decreases in FDIC assessments, employee benefit costs, utility costs and other costs.
President and Chief Executive Officer Bob Altieri stated, “We continue to aggressively clean up our balance sheet through our normal course of business and in anticipation of the merger with Jefferson Bancorp. The Company’s non-performing assets continue to see signs of improvement and fortunately we are not experiencing a migration of loans moving to a delinquent status (loans greater than 30 days past due). As of June 30, 2012 the Company’s delinquency rate was 1.01%, which is at its lowest level in four years. All of the Company’s Other Real Estate Owned (OREO) has been reassessed and appropriate writedowns taken in the second quarter. As it relates to other divisions of the Company, noninterest income continues to improve led by Electronic Banking Division and our mortgage division, Carrollton Mortgage Services (CMS). For the six months ended June 30, 2012, noninterest income increased $407,000 compared to the same time last year. CMS continues to grow with total year to date loan originations of $159 million, while maintaining solid margins. We are optimistic that these levels will continue throughout 2012.”
Total assets as of June 30, 2012 compared to June 30, 2011 reflect a 4.5%, or $16.8 million, decrease to $359.6 million. Gross loans, including loans held for sale, decreased 6.5%, or $20.3 million, from $313.0 million at June 30, 2011 to $292.8 million at June 30, 2012. Investment securities decreased 14.5%, or $4.3 million, to $25.6 million at June 30, 2012 from $30.0 million as of June 30, 2011. This decrease is a result of management’s decision to use cash flow from investments to shrink the balance sheet by reducing high cost borrowings.
Total deposits increased 4.1%, or $12.5 million, to $319.4 million while borrowings decreased $31.2 million from balances at June 30, 2011. The increase in deposits was comprised of a $12.8 million increase in non-interest bearing deposits, a similar $12.8 million increase in interest bearing transaction accounts and a $13.1 million decrease in certificates of deposit. The combined $44.3 million decrease in high cost funding sources is consistent with our strategy of reducing our cost of funds while concentrating on core deposit growth.
Mr. Altieri continued and stated, “We are pleased with the Company’s increased deposit base and continued effort of our employees to focus on our strategic initiative of increasing non-interest bearing deposits. As of June 30, 2012, non-interest bearing deposits comprise 25.9% of our total deposit base, which is a healthy percentage for a community bank.”
