HOPKINSVILLE, KY (April 27, 2018) – HopFed Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: HFBC) (the “Company”), the holding company for Heritage Bank USA, Inc. (the “Bank”), today reported operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 2018. For the three month period ended March 31, 2018, net income was $1.1 million, or $0.18 per share, compared to $935,000, or $0.15 per share, for the three month period ended March 31, 2017.

Commenting on the first quarter results, John E. Peck, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “We are excited to report that loans grew by $23.3 million in the three month period ended March 31, 2018. Economic activity in our market remains strong, providing a robust pipeline of new loan opportunities. For the three month period ended March 31, 2018, net interest income was $7.2 million, an increase of $432,000 compared to the three month period ended March 31, 2017. On a linked quarter basis, our net interest margin improved to 3.45% from 3.41% despite the tax law change that reduced the tax equivalent yield of our municipal bond portfolio by 0.78%. We remain confident in our Company’s future earning potential due to our strong asset quality, the size of our loan pipeline and the strength of our local economy.”

    In the three month period ended March 31, 2018, total loans increased $23.3 million, representing an annualized growth rate of 14.5%.

Results of Operations

In the three month periods ended March 31, 2018, December 31, 2017 and March 31, 2017, net interest income was $7.2 million, $7.0 million and $6.8 million. The improved level of net interest income is largely the result of loan portfolio growth. For the three month period ended March 31, 2018, the average balance of net loans was $647.2, compared to $631.5 million for the three month period ended December 31, 2017 and $615.4 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2017.

For the three month period ended March 31, 2018, the Company’s non-interest income was $1.7 million compared to $2.3 million for the three month periods ended March 31, 2017. In the three month period ended March 31, 2017, the Company received $160,000 of tax free payment on a bank owned life insurance policy and $250,000 from a one-time reimbursement from a vendor. For the three month period ended March 31, 2018, service charge income was $706,000 compared to $804,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2017, respectively. Beginning January 1, 2017, the Company revised our retail transaction account product offerings which reduced the amount of transaction accounts that were not being assessed a monthly fee. During the first six months of 2017, the Company experienced elevated levels of service charge income as a result of these changes.

On a linked quarter basis, total non-interest income declined by $124,000. The decline in linked quarter non-interest income was largely the result of a $95,000 decline in service charge income and a $55,000 decline in mortgage origination income due to increases in long term interest rates. The decline in linked quarter service charge income is largely a seasonal issue that occurs as consumer spending declines following the fourth quarter holiday season.

For the three month periods ended March 31. 2018 and March 31, 2017, non-interest expenses were $7.5 million and $7.7 million, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, the increase in professional expenses was largely the result of an $180,000 increase in legal expenses compared to the three month period ended March 31, 2017. The table below outlines the most significant changes in non-interest expenses for the three month period ended March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017:

Results of Operations (continued)

 

On a linked quarter basis, the Company’s non-interest expenses declined by $266,000. The linked quarter decline in non-interest expense was largely the result of a reduction in legal expenses. On a linked quarter basis, salaries and benefits expenses increased $200,000, or 5.1%. The increase in salaries and benefits expense includes approximately $164,000 related to seasonal vacation accruals and $87,000 related to employee payroll expenses.
