MBT Financial Corp. Announces Second Quarter 2015 Profit

 

MONROE, Mich., July 21, 2015 – MBT Financial Corp., (Nasdaq: MBTF), the parent company of Monroe Bank & Trust, reported a net profit of $2,285,000 ($0.10 per share, basic and diluted), in the second quarter of 2015, compared to a profit of $1,687,000 ($0.08 per share, basic and diluted), in the second quarter of 2014. The net profit for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $5,062,000 ($0.22 per share, basic and diluted), compared to $3,454,000 ($0.16 per share, basic and diluted) in the six months ended June 30, 2014.

 

Earnings for the Company improved this quarter due to improvements in the net interest income, the provision for loan losses, non-interest income, and non-interest expenses. The net interest margin decreased from 3.15% in the second quarter of 2014 to 3.12% in the second quarter of 2015, but the average amount of interest earning assets increased $76.7 million. As a result, net interest income improved by 6.2% in the second quarter of 2015 compared to the second quarter of 2014.

 

The provision for loan losses decreased $100,000 compared to the second quarter of 2014 as improving asset quality and recoveries of loans previously charged off allowed the bank to maintain an adequate Allowance for Loan Losses without recording a provision in the second quarter of 2015. Loans charged off during the quarter totaled $407,000, while $295,000 was recovered on loans charged off previously. Total Loans increased $5.8 million during the second quarter of 2015, but the continued improvement in asset quality enabled the Company to reduce the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses from 2.13% of loans at the end the first quarter to 2.09% as of the end of the second quarter.

 

Non-interest income increased $221,000, or 6.2% in the second quarter of 2015 compared to the second quarter of 2014. Excluding gains and losses from securities and other real estate transactions, non-interest income increased $97,000, or 2.6% as deposit account fees, debit card income, and mortgage loan origination fees all increased.

 

Total non-interest expenses decreased $61,000, or 0.6% in the second quarter of 2015 compared to the second quarter of 2014. Expenses related to Other Real Estate Owned decreased $182,000 or 50.4% due to the decrease in the number of properties owned. FDIC insurance decreased $191,000 or 30.8% due to a decrease in our assessment rate following the termination of the Bank’s Consent Order with the FDIC and the State of Michigan in the second quarter of 2014.

 

Total assets of the company increased $13.4 million, or 1.1% compared to December 31, 2014. Total loans increased $13.2 million since the end of 2014. Capital increased $4.3 million since the end of last year primarily due to the year to date profit of $5.1 million. The Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI) component of capital decreased $967,000 compared to the end of 2014. The AOCI decreased mainly due to a decrease in the market values of our investment securities that are classified as available for sale. The ratio of equity to assets increased from 10.52% at the end of 2014 to 10.75% at June 30, 2015. The Bank’s Tier 1 Leverage ratio increased from 9.55% as of December 31, 2014 to 10.43% as of June 30, 2015.

 

H. Douglas Chaffin, President and CEO, commented, “We are pleased with our results for the first half of 2015, and we believe that our balance sheet is positioned to produce better earnings results when interest rates increase. While we remain concerned about the effect of global and national issues on our local economy, we plan to continue 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.”
