FIDELITY D & D BANCORP, INC.

REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2016 FINANCIAL RESULTS



Dunmore, PA – Fidelity D & D Bancorp, Inc. (OTC US: FDBC) and its banking subsidiary Fidelity Deposit and Discount Bank,  announced net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 of $2.0 million, an improvement of $0.1 million, or 5%, compared to $1.9 million for the third quarter of 2015.  Earnings improvement resulted from strategic growth which expanded net interest income by 6%The Company continued to focus on its relationship management strategy with $33.1 million growth in quarterly average earning assets in the third quarter of 2016 compared to the third quarter of 2015$0.2 million in additional operating expenses were incurred primarily from an increase in salaries and employee benefits compared to the previous year’s third quarter.    Earnings per share on a diluted basis was $0.82 and $0.79 for the quarters ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.



We are very pleased with the third quarter financial results and the continued growth in the Company’s performance.” stated Daniel J. Santaniello, President and Chief Executive Officer.  “The strong results are reflective of the Fidelity Banker's commitment to building relationships and partnering with our clients to achieve financial success.  We continue to increase deposits, loans, and non-interest income, while effectively managing expenses.



Net income increased $0.4 million, or 7%, from $5.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 to $5.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.  The year-to-date improvement stemmed from producing $1.3 million more net interest income and $0.2 million more non-interest income partially offset by less than $0.1 million higher expenses.  Earnings per share on a diluted basis was $2.30 and $2.16 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.



The Company’s assets increased $41.0 million, or 6%, to total $770.4 million at September 30, 2016 from $729.4 million at December 31, 2015.  The growth during the first nine months of 2016 was due mostly to a  $16.6 million net increase in the loan portfolio, $3.5 million increase in securities and $19.2 million increase in cash balances.  This growth was funded by a  $51.1 million increase in deposits and a $5.2 million increase in shareholders’ equity along with paying down $17.2 million in short-term borrowings.



Net interest income was $6.4 million for the third quarter of 2016 compared to $6.0 million for the third quarter of 2015.  The $0.4 million, or 6%, increase resulted from earning higher yields on investment securities combined with lower rates paid on liabilities, which offset the continued declining yields in the loan portfolio.  This lead to a six basis point improvement in the net interest spread and net interest margin to 3.66% and 3.78%, respectively, for the third quarter of 2016 compared to 3.60% and 3.72%, respectively, for the same 2015 quarter.



Net interest income increased $1.3 million, or 7%, to $18.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, from $17.4 million reported during the first nine months of 2015.  Net interest margin was 3.71%  and 3.69% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectivelyNet interest spread was higher by


 

three basis points for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared with the same period in 2015 resulting from a seven basis point reduction on interest-bearing liability rates partially offset by a four basis point decline on interest earning asset yieldsRevenue from $34.4 million and $7.5 million higher average balances in the loan and investment portfolios, respectively, added $1.1 million to interest income.  Lower interest costs of $0.2 million resulted primarily from lower debt of $10.7 million and the repricing of deposit rates, which more than offset the added interest expense from the $37.1 million growth of interest-bearing deposits for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared with the same period in 2015.  Cost of funds declined 6 basis points from the lower interest costs and the $12.3 million growth in average non-interest bearing deposits. 



The provision for loan losses was $25 thousand higher for the third quarter of 2016 compared to the third quarter of 2015.  Provision for loan losses was $650 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $500 thousand for the same period in 2015.    The additional provision expense resulted from loan growth and the increase in non-performing loans.  The increase in non-performing loans was due mainly to a single commercial relationship, which has been adequately reserved.  The allowance for loan losses was $9.2 million, or 1.61% of total loans at September 30, 2016 compared to $9.1 million, or 1.69% of total loans at September 30, 2015.



Total other income was $2.0 million for both the third quarters of 2016 and 2015.   Increases of $117 thousand in deposit fees and $41 thousand in interchange fees  were offset by  $102 thousand fewer gains on loan sales and $71 thousand less service charges on loans for the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2015.



Total other income recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $5.8 million, an increase of $0.2 million, or 4%, from the $5.6 million recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.  Other income increased from  $0.3 million more deposit service charges and $0.1 million in additional interchange fees that offset $0.2 million fewer gains on loan sales when compared to the first nine months of 2015.



Other expenses increased $0.2 million, or 3%, for the third quarter of 2016 compared to the third quarter of 2015.  The increase was due to a $0.2 million in additional salaries and employee benefits expense and $74 thousand in higher data processing expense.  These increases were partially offset by $78 thousand lower advertising and marketing expense and $72 thousand lower professional service expense.



Other expenses increased to  $16.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, an increase of $0.1 million from $16.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.  Increases within this category included a $0.7 million increase in salaries and employee benefits expense, a $0.3 million increase in data processing expense and $0.2 million in PA shares tax expense.  These increases were partially offset by a $0.6 million FHLB prepayment fee, which was paid in the second quarter of 2015 for the early payoff of long-term debt which did not recur in 2016.  Also partially offsetting the increases was a $0.3 million decrease in advertising and marketing expenses for the first nine months of 2016 when compared to the same period of 2015 due to expenses from two branch grand openings in 2015. Additional decreases were $0.1 million in premises and equipment expense and $0.1 million in professional services.



During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, provision for income taxes increased by $0.8 millionThis growth primarily resulted from an audit adjustment reducing income tax expense by $0.4 million during the second quarter of 2015 plus a higher level of taxable income in 2016.
