HomeTown Bankshares Reports Strong Growth for the First Quarter of 2016

Revenue Up 9% Over 2015 

 

 

ROANOKE, Va., April 28, 2016 - HomeTown Bankshares Corporation, the parent company of HomeTown Bank, reported strong balance sheet growth and solid operating performance for the first quarter of 2016. Total revenue was up 9% from strong loan and core deposit growth of 12% and 18 %, respectively, for the first quarter of 2016 vs. the first quarter of 2015.

 

"We are delighted with the continued growth in market share for loans and core deposits as well as our ability to capitalize on the recent, competitive changes in our markets,” said Susan K. Still, President and CEO. “This expansion in market share is coupled with solid revenue growth and earnings as well as strong asset quality,” she continued.

 

Financial Highlights

 

Revenues increased 9% to $5.2 million during the first quarter and a 22% increase in non-interest income, net of gains on securities sales. Service charge income related to strong core deposit growth and the continued increase in mortgage origination income were major contributors to the sizable increase in non-interest income during the first quarter of 2016. Net earnings were up 3% from $776,000 in Q1 2015 to $801,000 in Q1 2016 which included a $134,000 increase in interest expense in Q1 2016 associated with a $7.5 million capital raise in December, 2015. The capital raise in the form of subordinated notes was initiated to support continued, strong loan growth, and was the primary cause of the decline in the net interest margin from 3.84% in Q1 2015 to 3.62% in Q1 2016. Net income available to common shareholders amounted to $597,000 for the first quarter of 2016 vs. $566,000 during the prior year after preferred stock dividend payments of $204,000 in Q1 2016 and $210,000 in Q1 2015. Fully diluted earnings per share amounted to $0.14 per share for the first quarter of 2016 compared to $0.14 per share for the comparative period of 2015.

At March 31, 2016, total assets reached $493 million, an increase of $56 million or 13%, over 2015.  The loan portfolio ended the period at $381 million, representing a year-over- year increase of 12% (15% on an annualized basis), or $42 million, over the prior year.

 

Total deposits increased $47 million to $414 million in Q1 of 2016, a 13% increase over 2015. Core deposits grew 18% in Q1 2016 over 2015 due to a strong increase in noninterest bearing demand deposits over Q1 2015.

 

The expansion of our Private Wealth Group in December, 2015, also contributed to the strong growth in loans and deposits during the first quarter of 2016, offsetting related salary and benefit expense during the first quarter of 2016. In addition, higher mortgage originations resulted in a 46% increase in mortgage revenue for the first quarter of 2016 over 2015.

 

The Company raised $7.5 million in the form of subordinated debt in December, 2015 to support future loan growth anticipated with the sale of Valley Bank in July, 2015, and the exit of Bank of America in late 2014. Interest expense and bank franchise taxes increased accordingly for the quarter, offset partially by income from the strong loan growth of 12% during the first quarter of 2016 over 2015.

 

The Company’s asset quality improved and remains strong at March 31, 2016. Nonperforming assets, excluding performing restructured loans, improved from 1.90% of Company assets at March 31, 2015 to 1.24% at March 31, 2016, and non-performing loans decreased during the current quarter. In addition, net charge-offs were minimal at $11,000 during the first quarter of 2016. The allowance for loan losses increased slightly to $3.35 million at March 31, 2016 vs. $3.33 million in 2015 due to a $60,000 provision for loan losses in 2016 due to the continued, strong loan growth.

 

The Company remains well-capitalized with total equity at March 31, 2016 rising to $47 million, an increase of $2.9 million, or 7%, from March 31, 2015.  Total risk-based capital, Tier 1 capital, Tier 1 leverage, and Common Equity Tier 1 ratios were 13.61%, 12.80%, 10.86% and 12.79%, respectively.  All ratios exceed the current regulatory standards for well capitalized status.

 

“While we are now the largest community bank headquartered in the Roanoke Valley, our focus will continue to be on being the best bank we can be for our customers in each market we serve, “Still said.
