Ottawa Bancorp, Inc.

Announces First Quarter 2017 Results

 

OTTAWA, Ill., April 28, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ottawa Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) (Nasdaq:OTTW), the holding company for Ottawa Savings Bank, FSB (the “Bank”), announced net income of $0.4 million, or $0.11 per basic and diluted common share for the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to net income of $0.3 million, or $0.09 per basic and diluted common share, for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The strong first quarter results were positively impacted by increased loan demand.  Additionally, there was an improvement in non-performing loans.  Our collection of approximately $2.0 million in pay-offs on four non-performing loans contributed to the reduction in non-performing loans from $4.9 million at December 31, 2016 to $2.7 million at March 31, 2017, which in addition to loan growth, improved the ratio of non-performing loans to gross loans from 3.00% at December 31, 2016 to 1.63% at March 31, 2017. 

 

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016

 

Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2017 increased $0.1 million, or 38.0%, to $0.4 million compared to net income of $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The increase was primarily attributed to an increase in net interest income after provision for loan losses of $0.3 million and a $0.1 million increase in total other income, partially offset by an increase of $0.2 million in other expenses and an increase of $0.1 million in income tax expense. 
   
Net interest income increased by $0.2 million or 12.4% to $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, from $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016.  Interest and dividend income increased $0.2 million or 11.4%, primarily due to an increase in the average balances of interest-earning assets of $17.9 million and a 2.1% increase in the yield on interest-earning assets to 4.22%. The increase in net interest income was partially off-set by a slight increase in interest expense as the average cost of funds increased two basis points to 0.51%, for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The increase in cost of funds was slightly off-set by a decrease in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities of $3.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2017. The net interest margin increased 2.9% during the three months ended March 31, 2017 to 3.82%.

 

We recorded a provision for loan losses of $90,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to a $120,000 provision for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The decrease was the result of lower general reserves at March 31, 2017 when compared to March 31, 2016, as historical loss levels and qualitative factors improved during 2017, as compared to 2016. These favorable variances were partially off-set by increases in the balances of most loan categories and higher specific reserves.  Net charge-offs during the first quarter of 2017 were $154,000 compared to $152,000 during the first quarter of 2016.  The allowance for loan losses was $2.2 million or 1.26% of total loans at March 31, 2017 compared to $2.2 million, or 1.49%, at March 31, 2016.

 

Non-interest income increased $0.1 million, to $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, as compared to the same period for 2016. The increase was primarily due to higher revenues related to mortgage loan activity.

 

Non-interest expense increased $0.2 million, or 12.1%, to $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016.  The increase was primarily due to higher salaries and employee benefits as additional mortgage loan originators and staff were added to support loan growth.  Loan expense increased due to the increase in loan originations.

 

We recorded income tax expense of $0.2 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.  

 

 

 
 

 

 

Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016:

 

Total consolidated assets as of March 31, 2017 were $236.4 million, an increase of $6.2 million, or 2.7%, from $230.2 million at December 31, 2016.  The increase was primarily due to net increases in the loan portfolio of $6.5 million.

 

Cash and cash equivalents decreased $0.9 million, or 16.3%, to $5.0 million at March 31, 2017 from $5.9 million at December 31, 2016.  The decrease in cash and cash equivalents was primarily a result of cash used in investing activities of $7.1 million exceeding cash provided by financing activities of $5.4 million and cash provided by operating activities of $0.7 million.

 

Securities available-for-sale decreased $0.6 million, or 1.3%, to $44.0 million at March 31, 2017 from $44.6 million at December 31, 2016, as paydowns, sales and maturities exceeded new securities purchases.

 

Net loans increased by $6.5 million to $167.1 million at March 31, 2017 compared to $160.6 million at December 31, 2016 primarily as a result of a $5.0 million increase in one-to-four family loans. The Company also experienced growth in most other loan categories during the period.

 

Total deposits increased $5.5 million, or 3.2%, to $178.1 million at March 31, 2017 from $172.5 million at December 31, 2016.  Certificates of deposit decreased $1.0 million, or 1.3%, to $80.2 million at March 31, 2017 from $81.2 million at December 31, 2016.  In addition, savings accounts increased by $1.8 million and checking/money market accounts increased by $4.8 million during the same period. 

 

Total stockholders’ equity increased $0.3 million or 0.5% to $52.2 million at March 31, 2017 from $51.9 million at December 31, 2016.  The increase is primarily a result of net income of $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, partially off-set by dividends of $0.1 million paid to shareholders.
