MBT Financial Corp. Announces Second Quarter 2018

Preliminary Earnings and Dividend Increase

 

Monroe, Mich. – MBT Financial Corp. (NASDAQ: MBTF), the parent company of Monroe Bank & Trust, reported a preliminary net profit of $4,945,000 ($0.22 per basic share and $0.21 per diluted share), in the second quarter of 2018, compared to a profit of $3,640,000 ($0.16 per share, basic and diluted), in the second quarter of 2017. The profit for the first six months of 2018 was $8,847,000 ($0.39 per basic share and $0.38 per diluted share), compared to $6,820,000 ($0.30 per share, basic and diluted) for the first six months of 2017. The company also announced that it will pay a quarterly dividend of $0.10 per common share on August 16, 2018 to shareholders of record as of August 9, 2018. This is an increase of $0.03 per share compared to the dividend paid last quarter and an increase of $0.04 compared to the dividend paid in the same quarter last year.

 

The Net Interest Income for the second quarter of 2018 increased $969,000, or 9.8% as the net interest margin improved from 3.31% in the second quarter of 2017 to 3.64% in the second quarter of 2018 as higher interest rates and shifting assets from investment securities to loans improved the yield on earning assets while the cost of interest bearing liabilities remained low.

 

The Company did not record a provision for loan losses this quarter or in the second quarter of 2017. Asset quality continues to be strong, and recoveries of previously charged off loans exceeded charge offs during the second quarter of 2018. This provided sufficient growth in the Allowance for Loan Losses to maintain its adequacy even though the amount of loans increased. Total Loans increased $18.5 million, or 2.6% during the second quarter quarter of 2018, and $45.8 million, or 6.6% so far this year. The Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses increased from $7.7 million at the end of 2017 to $8.0 million at the end of the second quarter of 2018. Due to the loan growth, the Allowance as a percent of loans decreased since the beginning of the year from 1.10% to 1.07%.

 

Non-interest income for the second quarter of 2018 increased $33,000, or 0.8% compared to the second quarter of 2017. Excluding gains and losses on securities and other real estate transactions in both periods and an adjustment to recognize wealth management income on an accrual basis in 2017, the non-interest income decreased $89,000, or 2.2%. Non-interest income in the second quarter of 2018 included $517,000 of gains on the sales of Other Real Estate. Non-interest expense increased $178,000, or 2.0%, mainly due to increases in salaries and benefits, equipment, and marketing expenses.

 

Total assets of the company decreased $25.5 million, or 1.9%, compared to December 31, 2017, to $1.32 billion. Capital decreased $12.3 million during the first six months of 2018 primarily because the payment of the special and regular dividends exceeded the net income. The ratio of equity to assets decreased from 9.85% at the end of 2017 to 9.10% at the end of the second quarter of 2018. The Bank’s Tier 1 Leverage ratio decreased from 10.33% as of December 31, 2017 to 9.89% as of June 30, 2018.

 

H. Douglas Chaffin, President and CEO, commented, “We continue to see solid loan growth, and the improvement in net interest margin combined with the effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act contributed to the substantial improvement in earnings this quarter. Our new business pipeline remains strong and we expect loan growth to continue the rest of this year, which should lead to further margin improvement. Notably, we also expect credit quality to remain strong, as we see nothing that might inhibit our strong quality metrics in the near term. Our focus on managing our capital has also allowed us to bring more value to our shareholders, and the increase in the quarterly dividend we announced today reflects a higher payout ratio. Our earnings growth trend has been strong, and a consistent increase in the dividend will decrease the need for the special dividends we used in the past three years. We will continue to keep our eyes open for the right opportunities to grow through strategic acquisitions, while remaining disciplined in that regard. We remain confident in our ability to maintain our position as the premier independent provider of financial services in the communities we serve.”
