Lakeville, Conn., October 25, 2013 /GlobeNewswire …..Salisbury Bancorp, Inc. (“Salisbury”) NASDAQ Capital Market: “SAL”, the holding company for Salisbury Bank and Trust Company (the “Bank”), announced results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2013.

Selected third quarter 2013 highlights

Net income available to common shareholders was $976,000, or $0.57 per common share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 (third quarter 2013), versus $1,103,000, or $0.65 per common share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 (second quarter 2013), and $1,094,000, or $0.65 per common share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 (third quarter 2012).

• Tax equivalent net interest income increased $25,000, or 0.5%, versus second quarter 2013, and increased $120,000, or 2.5%, versus third quarter 2012.
• Net loan charge-offs were $215,000 for third quarter 2013, versus $294,000 for second quarter 2013 and $359,000 for third quarter 2012. Provision for loan losses for the third quarter remained unchanged from the second quarter 2013 at $240,000, versus $330,000 for third quarter 2012.
• Non-interest income decreased $191,000, or 11.6%, versus second quarter 2013 and decreased $428,000, or 22.7%, versus third quarter 2012; which included $568,000 in gains on sales of mortgage loans.

Accruing loans receivable 30-to-89 days past due increased $0.8 million to $5.1 million, or 1.2% of gross loans receivable at September 30, 2013, versus June 30, 2013 and increased $1.9 million versus September 30, 2012.

Richard J. Cantele, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “The third quarter results reflect the strength of continued loan growth, up over $3.5 million as compared to June, as we continue to redeploy cash flow from the investment portfolio into loans. Loan growth, year–to–date, has increased by over $31.5 million or over 8% since the end of 2012. During the quarter we also saw a decline in the higher yielding Money Market deposit product which helped to facilitate a decrease in the level of low yielding cash assets as well as the overall size of the balance sheet. The net interest margin remained relatively stable at 3.51%. Non-Interest Income reflects the impact of increasing mortgage rates which adversely impacted demand for residential mortgages and resulted in a lower volume of loans sold during the quarter.

Net Interest Income

Tax equivalent net interest income for third quarter 2013 increased $25,000, or 0.5%, versus second quarter 2013, and increased $120,000, or 2.5%, versus third quarter 2012. Average total interest bearing liabilities increased $12.6 million as compared with second quarter 2013 and decreased $2.8 million, or -0.6%, as compared with third quarter 2012. Average earning assets increased $6.7 million as compared with second quarter 2013 and decreased $6.2 million, or -1.1%, as compared with third quarter 2012. The net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis decreased 3 basis points from second quarter 2013 to 3.51% and increased 12 basis points versus third quarter 2012 from 3.39%.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income decreased $191,000, or 11.6%, versus second quarter 2013 and decreased $428,000, or 22.7%, versus third quarter 2012. Trust and Wealth Advisory revenues decreased $74,000 versus second quarter 2013 and increased $67,000 versus third quarter 2012. The year-over-year revenue increase results from growth in managed assets, offset by slightly lower estate fees collected in third quarter 2013. Service charges and fees increased $20,000 versus second quarter 2013 and $36,000 versus third quarter 2012. Income from sales and servicing of mortgage loans in the third quarter decreased by $129,000 as compared to the second quarter 2013 and decreased $527,000 as compared to the third quarter 2012 due to interest rate driven fluctuations in the volume of fixed rate residential mortgage loan sales and mortgage servicing valuations. Mortgage loan sales totaled $2.2 million for third quarter 2013, $5.1 million for second quarter 2013 and $18.3 million for third quarter 2012. Third quarter 2013, second quarter 2013 and third quarter 2012 included mortgage servicing valuation (impairment) or benefit charges of ($38,000), $1,000 and $12,000, respectively. Other income includes income from bank owned life insurance and rental income.

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense for third quarter 2013 increased $33,000 versus second quarter 2013 and decreased $50,000 versus third quarter 2012. Compensation and employee benefits increased $17,000 versus second quarter 2013, and increased $208,000 versus third quarter 2012. Year-over-year expenses include higher 401(k) expense and new compensation plan expenses implemented to compensate for the hard freeze placed on the defined benefit pension plan as of December 31, 2012. Premises and equipment increased $39,000 versus second quarter 2013 and $19,000 versus third quarter 2012, mainly due to disposed assets related to modifications of the Millerton branch. Data processing decreased $9,000 versus second quarter 2013 and $11,000 versus third quarter 2012. Professional fees decreased $3,000 versus second quarter 2013, and increased $7,000 versus third quarter 2012. Collections and OREO decreased $2,000 versus second quarter 2013, and $227,000 versus third quarter 2012 due primarily to decreased related litigation and OREO expense. Salisbury had $571,000 in foreclosed property at September 30, 2013 compared to $435,000 at June 30, 2013 and $641,000 at September 30, 2012. FDIC insurance premiums decreased $3,000 versus second quarter 2013 and $5,000 versus third quarter 2012. Remaining operating expenses decreased $6,000 versus second quarter 2013 and $41,000 versus third quarter 2012 due primarily to reductions in other administrative and operational expenses.

The effective income tax rates for third quarter 2013, second quarter 2013 and third quarter 2012 were 18%, 20% and 21%, respectively.

Loans

Net loans receivable increased $3.6 million during third quarter 2013 to $420.3 million at September 30, 2013, versus $416.7 million at June 30, 2013, and increased $42.9 million versus $377.4 million at September 30, 2012.

Asset Quality

Non-performing assets increased $0.1 million during third quarter 2013 to $9.7 million, or 1.7% of assets, at September 30, 2013, versus $9.6 million, or 1.6% of assets, at June 30, 2013, and decreased $0.2 million versus $9.9 million, or 1.6% of assets, at September 30, 2012.

The $0.1 million increase in non-performing assets in third quarter 2013 resulted primarily from loans aggregating $1.5 million placed on non-accrual status, which was mostly offset by a $0.3 million decrease in accruing loans 90+ days past due, $0.1 million of loans returned to accrual status, $0.8 million in loan repayments and payoffs and $0.2 million in loan charge-offs.

Total impaired and potential problem loans decreased $1.1 million during third quarter 2013 to $25.1 million, or 5.9% of gross loans receivable, at September 30, 2013, versus $26.2 million, or 6.2% of gross loans receivable, at June 30, 2013, and decreased $3.0 million versus $28.1 million, or 7.4% of gross loans receivable, at September 30, 2012.

Accruing loans past due 30-to-89 days increased $0.8 million to $5.1 million, or 1.2% of gross loans receivable, at September 30, 2013. Over half of this increase is due to one residential mortgage the underlying property of which we expect to be sold in fourth quarter 2013. This compares to the prior quarter total of $4.3 million, or 1.0% of gross loans receivable, at June 30, 2013. Accruing loans past due 30-to-89 days increased $1.9 million as compared to September 30, 2012.

Salisbury endeavors to work constructively to resolve its non-performing loan issues with customers. Substantially all non-performing loans are collateralized with real estate and the repayment of such loans is largely dependent on the return of such loans to performing status or the liquidation of the underlying real estate collateral.

The provision for loan losses was $240,000 for both the third and second quarters of 2013 and $330,000 for third quarter 2012. Net loan charge-offs were $215,000, $295,000 and $359,000, for the respective quarters. Reserve coverage, as measured by the ratio of the allowance for loan losses to gross loans, remained unchanged at 1.10% at September 30, 2013, June 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012.

Capital

Both Salisbury and the Bank’s regulatory capital ratios remain in compliance with regulatory “well capitalized” requirements. At September 30, 2013 Salisbury’s Tier 1 leverage and total risk-based capital ratios were 10.28% and 16.67%, respectively, and the Bank’s Tier 1 leverage and total risk-based capital ratios were 8.60% and 13.93%, respectively, versus regulatory “well capitalized” minimums of 5.00% and 10.00%, respectively.

At September 30, 2013, Salisbury’s assets totaled $589 million. Book value and tangible book value per common share were $32.28 and $26.17, respectively. Tangible book value excludes goodwill and core deposit intangibles.

In August 2011, Salisbury received $16 million of capital from the U.S. Treasury’s Small Business Lending Fund (the “SBLF”) program. The SBLF program was established to encourage lending to small businesses by providing Tier 1 capital to qualified community banks with assets of less than $10 billion. To date Salisbury has used this capital to increase its portfolio of qualified small business loans by $27.2 million and to augment its regulatory capital ratios.
