For the three months ended June 30, 2015:
Net income increased $342,000 to $695,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2015, compared to net income of $353,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2014.
Net interest income increased $293,000 to $3.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 compared to the same period in the prior year. This was the result of an increase of $203,000 in interest income and a decrease of $90,000 in interest expense. The increase in interest income was the result of an $8.1 million increase in the average balance of loans, combined with an increase in the average rate earned on investments from 1.59% for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 to 2.00% for the quarter ended June 30, 2015, partially offset by a decrease in the average rate earned on loans from 4.59% for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 to 4.47% for the quarter ended June 30, 2015, as well as a decrease of $6.3 million in the average balance of investments. The decrease in the average balance of investments was primarily due to the use of cash flows from investments to fund loan production. The decrease in interest expense was primarily the result of a decrease in the average interest rate paid on deposits from 0.53% for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 to 0.46% for the quarter ended June 30, 2015. Net interest margin increased from 2.47% for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 to 2.76% for the quarter ended June 30, 2015.
Asset quality continued to improve. The provision for loan losses was a net recovery of $104,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2015, compared to a $160,000 provision for loan losses for the same quarter in the prior year. The net recovery in the provision for loan losses is due to the recovery of $122,000 on a non-residential loan partially offset by a provision of $18,000. Nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets decreased from 1.99% at June 30, 2014 to 1.30% at June 30, 2015.
Other income increased $109,000, or 15%, to $856,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 compared to $747,000 for the prior year quarter. The increase is primarily due to a decrease of $74,000 in loss on the sale of fixed assets, a $56,000 increase in service charge income, a $27,000 decrease in mortgage servicing rights amortization, and a $50,000 increase in gain on the sale of loans, partially offset by a $122,000 increase in loss on sale of investments. The decrease in loss on sale of fixed assets was the result of land sold related to the sale of the Osgood branch in the prior year period, with no corresponding losses in the current year period. The increase in service charges is primarily due to increased customer activity. The increase in gain on sale of loans is the result of an increase in loan sale activity during the quarter ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the prior year quarter. The increase in losses on sale of investments is due to the sale of lower yielding mortgage-backed securities and other available for sale securities in the quarter ended June 30, 2015, with no such sales in the prior year quarter.
Noninterest expense increased $223,000 to $3.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 compared to $3.2 million for the prior year quarter. The increase includes $412,000 in compensation and employee benefits, partially offset by a $74,000 decrease in occupancy expense and a $65,000 decrease in data processing expense. The increase in compensation and employee benefits is primarily due to an increase in routine annual compensation increases and expenses related to additional employees hired to enhance business development efforts in the commercial loan department. The decrease in occupancy expense is primarily due to a decrease in computer software licenses and contract fees resulting from the renegotiation of contracts. The decrease in data processing expense is due to the absence in the current year period of data conversion expenses incurred in the prior year period.
For the year ended June 30, 2015:
Net income increased $256,000 to $2.5 million for the year ended June 30, 2015, compared to net income of $2.3 million for the year ended June 30, 2014.
Net interest income increased $555,000, or 4.5%, to $12.9 million for the year ended June 30, 2015 as compared to $12.3 million for the year ended June 30, 2014. The increase in net interest income was due to an increase of $274,000 in interest income and a $281,000 decrease in interest expense. The increase in interest income was primarily the result of an increase in the average rate earned on investments from 1.53% for the year ended June 30, 2014 to 1.92% for the year ended June 30, 2015, partially offset by a $7.1 million decrease in the average balance of investments. The decrease in interest expense was primarily the result of a decrease in the average interest rate paid on deposits from 0.56% for the year ended June 30, 2014 to 0.49%, for the year ended June 30, 2015. Net interest margin increased from 2.55%, for the year ended June 30, 2014 to 2.68% for year ended June 30, 2015. The decrease in the balance of investments was primarily due to using cash flows from investments to fund loan production.
Asset quality continued to improve. The recovery of loan losses was $348,000 for the year ended June 30, 2015, compared to a recovery of loan losses of $132,000 for the prior year. The increase in the recovery for loan losses was primarily due to recoveries on one 1 -to 4- family loan and one multi-family loan totaling $492,000 and a provision of $360,000 during the year ended June 30, 2014, compared to the recoveries on two non-residential loans totaling $423,000 and a provision of $75,000 for the year ended June 30, 2015. Nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets decreased from 1.99% at June 30, 2014 to 1.30% at June 30, 2015.
Other income decreased $301,000, or 8.1%, to $3.4 million for the year ended June 30, 2015 compared to $3.7 million for the prior year period. The decrease is primarily due to a $432,000 increase in loss on the sale of investments, a $207,000 decrease in other income, including a $253,000 decline in the fair value of mortgage servicing rights, partially offset by a $191,000 increase in service charges and a $165,000 increase in gain on the sale of other real estate owned. The increase in loss on the sale of investments is due to the sale of primarily lower yielding mortgage-backed securities and other available for sale securities in the year ended June 30, 2015 with no such sales in the prior year. The increase in service charges is primarily due to an increase in volume. The increase in gain on the sale of other real estate owned is related to the sale of two 1-to 4- family and one multi-family property.
Noninterest expense increased $448,000 to $13.6 million for the year ended June 30, 2015 compared to $13.2 million for the prior year period. An increase of $721,000 in compensation expense was partially offset by decreases of $95,000 in other operating expenses, $85,000 in data processing expenses and a decrease of $71,000 in premises and occupancy expense. The increase in compensation expense was primarily the result of stock-based compensation expense of $262,000 in the year ended June 30, 2015 related to the vesting of stock options and restricted share awards issued in April 2014, compared to a $44,000 corresponding expense in the prior year period. Additionally, routine annual compensation increases and employees hired in the fiscal year to enhance the business development efforts in the commercial loan department resulted in an increase of $400,000 for the year ended June 30, 2015.
Total assets were $521.2 million at June 30, 2015, compared to $530.5 million at June 30, 2014. A $6.5 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents and an $8.7 million decrease in investment securities were partially offset by a $9.4 million increase in loans. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents and investment securities was primarily due to the use of cash and the proceeds generated from the sale of investment securities to fund the increase in loans.
Total liabilities were $449.8 million at June 30, 2015, compared to $457.5 million at June 30, 2014. The decrease in liabilities was primarily the result of a $7.1 million decrease in deposits. The decrease in deposits is primarily due to a decrease in municipal deposits resulting from normal fluctuations in municipal deposits.
Total stockholders’ equity was $71.4 million at June 30, 2015, compared to $72.9 million at June 30, 2014. Net income of $2.5 million for the year ended June 30, 2015 was partially offset by amortization of ESOP shares totaling $395,000, amortization of EIP shares totaling $186,000, stock repurchases totaling $4.2 million, dividends paid of $1.1 million and an increase in unrealized gain on securities available for sale of $556,000. At June 30, 2015, the Bank was considered “well-capitalized” under applicable regulatory requirements.
