Minerva, Ohio — August 8, 2014 (OTCBB: CBKM) Consumers Bancorp, Inc. (Consumers) today reported net income of $783 thousand for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2014, an increase of $104 thousand, or 15.3%, from the same period last year. Earnings per share for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2014 were $0.29 compared to $0.33 for the same period ended June 30, 2013.

 

For the twelve months ended June 30, 2014, net income was $2.8 million, an increase of $168 thousand, or 6.3%. Fiscal year-to-date net income per share was $1.05 compared to $1.29 for the same period last year. Earnings per share declined for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2014 and for the fiscal year-to-date period as a result of the additional 655,668 outstanding shares issued for the rights and public offering that were completed in July 2013.

 

Return on average assets and return on average equity for the twelve months ended June 30, 2014 were 0.77% and 7.44%, respectively, compared to 0.78% and 9.21%, respectively, for the same period last year. The return on average equity declined from the same period last year due to a $9.1 million increase in average equity mainly as a result of the $9.2 million in net proceeds from the rights and public offering that were completed in July 2013.

 

Assets at June 30, 2014 totaled $382.5 million, an increase of $39.0 million from June 30, 2013. Securities increased by $29.2 million, with this growth being funded by a $19.8 million increase in deposits and by a $12.1 million increase in shareholders’ equity. The growth in shareholders’ equity was primarily the result of the funds received from the rights and public offering that were completed in July 2013.

 

Ralph J. Lober, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Strong commercial and agricultural loan originations highlighted a strong fourth quarter. Our business development efforts continue to result in new relationship opportunities that are fueling deposit and loan growth throughout our markets and strengthening noninterest income. Adhering to community involvement and relationship banking, two tenants of community banking, is striking a chord with our customer base. This, along with continued stability in the net interest margin contributed to strong fourth quarter results.”

 

Net interest income for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2014 increased by $303 thousand from the same period last year, with interest income increasing by $284 thousand and interest expense decreasing by $19 thousand. The net interest margin for the three months ended June 30, 2014 was 3.89% which was consistent with the previous quarter ended March 31, 2014 and compares favorably to the net interest margin of 3.85% for the same period last year. Consumers’ yield on average interest-earning assets was 4.17% for the three months ended June 30, 2014, a decline from 4.18% for the same period last year. Consumers’ cost of funds decreased to 0.38% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from 0.44% for the same period last year.

 

 
 

 

Net interest income for the twelve months ended June 30, 2014 increased by $722 thousand, or 6.0%, from the same period last year, with interest income increasing by $515 thousand and interest expense decreasing by $207 thousand. The net interest margin was 3.86% for the current fiscal year-to-date period compared with 3.90% for the same period last year.

 

Other income totaled $690 thousand for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014 compared with $727 thousand for the same period last year. Other income for the prior year included a $33 thousand gain from the sale of securities compared with a $13 thousand gain for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014.

 

Other income totaled $2,761 thousand for the twelve months ended June 30, 2014 compared with $2,802 thousand for the same period last year. Other income for the prior year included a $157 thousand gain from the sale of securities compared with a $49 thousand gain for the current fiscal year-to-date period. Excluding the securities gains, non-interest income increased by $67 thousand, or 2.5%, primarily as a result of an $81 thousand, or 10.2%, increase in debit card interchange income.

 

Other expenses increased by $208 thousand, or 7.7%, for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2014 from the same period last year. For the year-to-date period, other expenses increased by $581 thousand, or 5.2%, from the same period last year. The increase in other expenses for the year-to-date period was primarily the result of higher salaries and employee benefit expenses, professional fees and one-time expenses associated with a multi-family residential property that was acquired through a deed in lieu of foreclosure. This property was sold during the third quarter of fiscal year 2014.

 

Non-performing loans were $2.0 million at June 30, 2014, compared with $1.9 million at March 31, 2014 and $1.1 million at June 30, 2013. Non-performing loans at June 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014 include a $1.4 million commercial real estate credit that is well secured by two farms and multiple homes. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of non-performing loans was 122.33% at June 30, 2014 compared with 122.68% at March 31, 2014 and 223.06% at June 30, 2013. The allowance for loan losses as a percent of total loans at June 30, 2014 was 1.07% and net charge-offs to total loans were 0.15% for the twelve month period ended June 30, 2014 compared with net charge-offs of 0.08% for the same period last year.
