MBT Financial Corp. Announces Second Quarter 2014 Profit

 

MONROE, Mich., July 24, 2014 – MBT Financial Corp., (Nasdaq: MBTF), the parent company of Monroe Bank & Trust, reported a profit of $1,687,000, or $0.08 per share (basic and diluted) for the second quarter of 2014, compared to the profit for the second quarter of 2013 of $1,496,000, or $0.08 per share (basic and diluted). The profit for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $3,454,000, or $0.16 per share (basic and diluted), compared to $2,610,000, or $0.15 per share (basic and diluted) for the six months ended June 30, 2013.

 

Earnings for the Company improved this quarter due to an increase in the net interest income, a decrease in the provision for loan losses, and an increase in non-interest income. The net interest margin increased from 2.92% in the second quarter of 2013 to 3.15% in the second quarter of 2014 as the yield on earning assets was unchanged and the cost of interest bearing liabilities decreased. The provision for loan losses decreased from $400,000 in the second quarter of 2013 to $100,000 in the second quarter of 2014 due to the significant improvement in asset quality. The improvement in loan quality over the past year allowed the Company to reduce the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses $2.2 million, lowering the ALLL from 2.79% of loans at the end of the second quarter of 2013 to what remains a robust 2.50% as of the end of the second quarter of 2014.

 

Non-interest income increased $342,000, or 10.5% in the second quarter of 2014 compared to the second quarter of 2013. Excluding gains and losses from securities and other real estate transactions, non-interest income decreased $128,000, or 3.3% as deposit account fees decreased $90,000 and mortgage loan origination income decreased $96,000. Wealth Management fees increased $87,000, or 8.0% as the market value of assets under management increased.

 

Total non-interest expenses increased $356,000, or 3.8% in the second quarter of 2014 compared to the second quarter of 2013, primarily due to an increase of $590,000, or 11.3% in salaries and benefits as the accrual for the Officer Incentive Plan increased by $262,000. This increase was partially offset by reductions in occupancy expense, equipment expense, professional fees, FDIC Deposit insurance, bonding expense, telephone expense, and other non-interest expense.

 

Total assets of the company decreased $12.9 million compared to December 31, 2013. Total loans increased $1.0 million since the end of 2013. New loan originations in the second quarter exceeded the reductions experienced in the first quarter, reflecting a $7.8 million increase on a linked quarter basis Capital increased $18.2 million since the end of last year due to the year to date profit of $3.5 million, the issuance of $8.2 million of common stock, and the decrease of $6.6 million in the Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss (AOCL). The AOCL decreased due to an increase in the market values of our investment securities that are classified as available for sale. The ratio of equity to assets increased from 9.05% at the end of 2013 to 10.65% at June 30, 2014. The Bank’s Tier 1 Leverage ratio increased from 8.48% as of December 31, 2013 to 9.24% as of June 30, 2014. This met the requirement of the Consent Order that was issued by the Bank’s regulators in 2010, and that order was terminated by the regulators effective June 30, 2014.

 

Economic conditions in southeast Michigan continue to improve, and this quarter we experienced another improvement in problem assets. During the second quarter of 2014, non-performing assets decreased $8.4 million, or 12.3%. Total classified assets, which include internal watch list loans, other real estate, and our portfolio of pooled trust preferred CDO securities, decreased $7.4 million, or 8.4% compared to last quarter and $34.8 million, or 30.1% compared to a year ago. The classified assets to total capital ratio decreased from 114.76% a year ago to 63.80% in the second quarter of 2014 due to the improvement in both classified assets and total capital.

 

H. Douglas Chaffin, President and CEO, commented, “This quarter we experienced some significant accomplishments, including the completion of our capital offering, the termination of our regulatory Consent Order, the opening of our first office in Lenawee County, an increase in our total loans, another profit, and improvement in most of our asset quality metrics. Our existing commercial loan pipeline remains strong, and we continue to have a solid deposit base and a very liquid balance sheet, which has us well positioned for increased lending activity.

 

 
 

 

Mr. Chaffin concluded, “Local and national economic indicators continue to improve, and we are cautiously monitoring the recent signs of relative strength in the local and regional recovery. While we remain concerned about the effect of global and national issues on our local economy, we are optimistic that our progress will continue throughout 2014. We will continue to focus our efforts on improving asset quality and maintaining liquidity, and also increase our efforts to improve profitability by growing our loan portfolio and improving our operational efficiency. Our current environment still presents challenges, but we remain confident in our ability to maintain our position as the premier independent provider of financial services in the communities we serve.”
