ChoiceOne Financial Announces Record Earnings For Third Quarter 2016
Sparta, Michigan – October 26, 2016 – ChoiceOne Financial Services, Inc. (OTC:COFS), the parent company for ChoiceOne Bank, reported net income of $1,683,000 for the third quarter of 2016 compared to $1,450,000 in the same period in 2015. Earnings per share were $0.52 in the third quarter of 2016 compared to $0.44 in the third quarter of the prior year. Net income for the first nine months of 2016 was $4,402,000 or $1.34 per share, compared to $4,523,000 or $1.37 per share in the first nine months of 2015.
“We are extremely pleased to announce our third quarter results as they represent ChoiceOne’s best quarter in our 118-year history with $1,683,000 in earnings,” said Kelly Potes, Chief Executive Officer of ChoiceOne Financial Services, Inc. “Opening our Grand Rapids loan production office has had a positive effect, and we believe has prepared the bank for even further growth.”
Total assets as of September 30, 2016, increased to $599 million, compared to $568 million as of December 31, 2015. Securities have grown $23.2 million and net loans have grown $19.6 million since the third quarter of 2015 as ChoiceOne emphasized growth in earning assets. Total deposits grew by $13.6 million in the third quarter of 2016 while borrowings declined by $6.3 million in the same time period.
ChoiceOne saw growth in both loans and securities during the third quarter of 2016, leading to interest income that was $296,000 higher in the third quarter of 2016 than interest income in the third quarter of 2015. Interest income was up $677,000 for the first nine months of 2016 compared to the same period of the prior year. ChoiceOne also continued to show loan recoveries in excess of loan charge-offs in the first nine months of 2016, and as such, no provision expense was considered necessary. Net interest income after provision during the third quarter of 2016 exceeded net interest income from the third quarter of 2015 by $306,000.
Increased activity in sales of loans drove the overall balance of noninterest income in the third quarter of 2016 to surpass noninterest income during the third quarter of 2015 by $105,000. This was offset by a decline in gain on sale of securities during the third quarter of 2016 compared to the third quarter of 2015, despite growth in the unrealized security gains during the quarter. Noninterest expense increased $67,000 in the third quarter and $721,000 in the first nine months of 2016 compared to the same periods in the prior year. The expense growth was due in part to expansion and additional salary costs tied to the development of the new Grand Rapids loan production office.
