OTTAWA BANCORP, INC.

 

Announces Second Quarter 2018 Results

 

 

Ottawa, Illinois – August 02, 2018 - Ottawa Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) (Nasdaq CM: 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 June 30, 2018, compared to net income of $0.5 million, or $0.14 per basic and diluted common share for the three months ended June 30, 2017. During the second quarter of 2018 the Company continued to experience strong loan demand. Non-performing loans increased slightly from $1.3 million at March 31, 2018 to $1.4 million at June 30, 2018, which increased the ratio of non-performing loans to gross loans from 0.56% at March 31, 2018 to 0.58% at June 30, 2018, but it remains lower than the 0.75% at December 31, 2017. Additionally, through June 30, 2018, the Company has repurchased a total of 83,235 shares of its common stock at an average price of $14.12 per share as part of the stock repurchase program announced on November 15, 2017.

 

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017

 

Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was $0.4 million compared to net income of $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The decrease in net income of $0.1 million, or 23.6%, was primarily attributed to an increase in total other expenses of $0.2 million and a decrease in total other income of $0.1 million, partially off-set by an increase in net interest income after provision for loan losses of $0.1 million and a decrease in income tax expense of $0.1 million.

   

Net interest income increased by $0.2 million, or 7.6%, to $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018, from $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. Interest and dividend income increased $0.4 million, or 16.0%, primarily due to an increase in the average balances of interest-earning assets of $31.6 million. The increase in net interest income was partially off-set by an increase in interest expense as the average cost of funds increased 34 basis points to 0.88% for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The net interest margin decreased 23 basis points, or 5.9% during the three months ended June 30, 2018 to 3.66% from 3.89%.

 

We recorded a provision for loan losses of approximately $0.2 million for both of the three-month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017. The allowance for loan losses was $2.5 million, or 1.14% of total gross loans at June 30, 2018 compared to $2.2 million, or 1.21% of gross loans at June 30, 2017. Net charge-offs during the second quarter of 2018 were approximately $0.2 million compared to $0.1 million during the second quarter of 2017. General reserves were higher at June 30, 2018, when compared to June 30, 2017, as the balances in all loan categories increased during the twelve months ended June 30, 2018. These increases to the allowance were partially off-set by improvements in historical loss levels and changes in qualitative factors during the twelve months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the same period ended June 30, 2017. Additionally, specific reserves as of June 30, 2018 were lower than they were as of June 30, 2017.

 

Total other income remained consistent at $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018, and June 30, 2017.

 

Total other expense increased $0.2 million, or 11.6%, to $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017.  The increase was primarily due to higher other expenses, increased loan expenses, and higher salaries and employee benefits.

 

We recorded income tax expense of approximately $0.1 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2018, as compared to approximately $0.2 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2017. The decrease in income tax expense was primarily a result of the Tax Cut and Jobs Act (the “TCJA”) enacted on December 22, 2017, which reduces corporate tax rates from 34% to 21%.

 

 

 

 

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017

 

Net income was $0.8 million for both of the six-month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.

   

Net interest income increased by $0.3 million, or 7.9%, to $4.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, from $4.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. Interest and dividend income increased $0.7 million, or 15.5%, primarily due to an increase in the average balances of interest-earning assets of $30.6 million. The increase in net interest income was partially off-set by an increase in interest expense as the average cost of funds increased 30 basis points to 0.83% for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The net interest margin decreased 21 basis points, or 5.5% during the six months ended June 30, 2018 to 3.64% from 3.85%.

 

We recorded a provision for loan losses of approximately $0.3 million for both of the six-month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017. The allowance for loan losses was $2.5 million, or 1.14% of total gross loans at June 30, 2018 compared to $2.2 million, or 1.21% of gross loans at June 30, 2017. Net charge-offs during the first six months of 2018 were approximately $0.2 million compared to $0.3 million during the first six months of 2017. General reserves were higher at June 30, 2018, when compared to June 30, 2017, as the balances in all loan categories increased during the twelve months ended June 30, 2018. These increases to the allowance were partially off-set by improvements in historical loss levels and changes in qualitative factors during the twelve months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the same period ended June 30, 2017. Additionally, specific reserves as of June 30, 2018 were lower than they were as of June 30, 2017.

 

Total other income increased slightly to approximately $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to approximately $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The increase was primarily due to increases in loan origination and servicing income and in the gain on sale of foreclosed real estate, partially off-set by decreases in gains on sale of securities and other income.

 

Total other expense increased $0.4 million, or 9.3%, to $4.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to $3.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017.  The increase was primarily due to higher other expenses, increased loan expenses, and higher salaries and employee benefits.

 

We recorded income tax expense of approximately $0.3 million for both of the six-month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.

 

Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017

 

Total consolidated assets as of June 30, 2018 were $273.8 million, an increase of $18.4 million, or 7.2%, from $255.4 million at December 31, 2017.  The increase was primarily due to an increase of $13.5 million in the net loan portfolio, an increase in cash and cash equivalents of $2.3 million, an increase in federal funds sold of $2.7 million, and an increase in other assets of $0.4 million, partially off-set by decreases in securities available for sale of $0.5 million and decreases in non-marketable equity securities of $0.1 million.

 

Cash and cash equivalents increased $2.3 million, or 60.8%, to $6.1 million at June 30, 2018 from $3.8 million at December 31, 2017. The increase in cash and cash equivalents was primarily a result of cash provided by financing activities of $17.9 million and cash provided by operating activities of $0.7 million exceeding cash used in investing activities of $16.3 million.

 

Securities available for sale decreased $0.4 million, or 1.9%, to $25.6 million at June 30, 2018 from $26.0 million at December 31, 2017, as paydowns, calls, and maturities exceeded new securities purchases.

 

Net loans increased by $13.5 million, or 6.5% to $220.5 million at June 30, 2018 compared to $207.0 million at December 31, 2017 primarily as a result of a $5.9 million increase in one-to-four family loans, a $5.0 million increase in purchased auto loans, a $3.7 million increase in consumer direct loans, a $1.3 million increase in non-residential real estate loans, and a $0.6 million increase in multi-family residential loans, partially off-set by a $3.0 million decrease in commercial loans.

 

 

 

 

Total deposits increased $24.9 million, or 13.7%, to $207.7 million at June 30, 2018 from $182.8 million at December 31, 2017. At June 30, 2018 checking accounts increased by $12.9 million, money market accounts increased by $0.4 million, savings accounts increased by $0.3 million and certificates of deposit increased by $11.3 million as compared to December 31, 2017.

 

FHLB advances decreased $6.0 million, or 39.8% to $9.1 million at June 30, 2018 compared to $15.1 million at December 31, 2017.

 

Stockholders’ equity decreased approximately $0.6 million, or 1.2% to $52.5 million at June 30, 2018 from $53.1 million at December 31, 2017. The decrease reflects $0.9 million to repurchase and cancel 65,635 outstanding shares, $0.5 million in dividends and a decrease in other comprehensive income of $0.2 million related to a decrease in the fair value of securities available for sale. These decreases were partially off-set by net income of $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and proceeds from stock options exercised and the allocation of ESOP shares totaling approximately $0.2 million.
