Minerva, Ohio— August 9, 2013 (OTCBB: CBKM) Consumers Bancorp, Inc. (Consumers) today reported fourth fiscal quarter 2013 earnings per share of $0.33 compared to $0.29 for the same period ended June 30, 2012. Net income for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2013 was $679 thousand, an increase of $79 thousand, or 13.2%, from the same period last year.
For the twelve months ended June 30, 2013, net income was $2.7 million compared to $2.8 million for the same period last year. Fiscal year-to-date net income per share was $1.29 compared to $1.35 for the same period last year.
Return on average assets and return on average equity for the twelve months ended June 30, 2013 were 0.78% and 9.21%, respectively, compared to 0.87% and 10.29%, respectively, for the same period last year.
Assets at June 30, 2013 totaled $343.5 million, an increase of $8.7 million from June 30, 2012. Gross loans increased by $19.6 million, or 9.9%, from June 30, 2012 mainly as a result of expanded calling efforts. Deposits increased by $9.6 million, or 3.4%, from June 30, 2012.
Ralph J. Lober, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Increased loan demand, deposit growth, and consistent asset quality are reflected in the strong fourth quarter earnings. Growth in existing markets and new relationships in our two newest markets in western Stark County resulted in strong loan and deposit growth as well as a 7.6% increase in noninterest income in fiscal year 2013. Our loan portfolio continues to perform well and non-performing assets have declined 42% since the fourth fiscal quarter of 2012. The recently completed $10 million common stock offering places the Bank in an excellent capital position that will allow us to more fully serve the growing needs of the local markets and to explore other strategic opportunities that arise.”
Net interest income for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2013 increased by $76 thousand from the same period last year, with interest income increasing by $13 thousand and interest expense decreasing by $63 thousand. The net interest margin for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was 3.85% which was consistent with the linked March 31, 2013 quarter but a decline of 10 basis points from the 3.95% net interest margin for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The Corporation’s yield on average interest-earning assets was 4.18% for the three months ended June 30, 2013, a decline from 4.38% for the same period last year. The Corporation’s cost of funds decreased to 0.44% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 from 0.57% for the same period last year.
Net interest income for the twelve months ended June 30, 2013 increased by $320 thousand from the same period last year, with interest income increasing by $63 thousand and interest expense decreasing by $257 thousand. The net interest margin was 3.90% for the current fiscal year-to-date period compared with 4.04% for the same period last year.
Other income increased by $77 thousand, or 11.8%, to $727 thousand for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013 compared with $650 thousand for the same period last year. This was primarily the result of an increase of $38 thousand from the gain on sale of loans and a $24 thousand increase in service charges on deposit accounts from the same period last year.
Other income increased by $198 thousand for the twelve months ended June 30, 2013 from the same period last year. The increase in other income was primarily the result of a $147 thousand increase from the gain on sale of loans and a $53 thousand increase in debit card interchange income.
Other expenses increased $35 thousand, or 1.3%, for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2013 from the same period last year. For the year-to-date period, other expenses increased by $756 thousand, or 7.3%. These increases were mainly the result of higher salary and benefit expenses primarily associated with staff additions in the lending area and new staff for the Jackson-Belden office that was opened July 31, 2012. In addition, other expenses were impacted by higher occupancy expensesmainly due to an increase in building depreciation expense associated with the Minerva, Ohio corporate headquarters and branch location and the new Jackson-Belden office. The remaining book value of the Minerva location is being expensed over the remaining useful life as a new facility is planned to replace the current facility by spring of 2015.
Non-performing assets were $1.1 million at June 30, 2013, compared with $1.5 million at March 31, 2013 and $1.9 million at June 30, 2012. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of non-performing loans increased to 223.06% at June 30, 2013 from 120.55% at June 30, 2012. The allowance for loan losses as a percent of total loans at June 30, 2013 was 1.15% and annualized net charge-offs to total loans were 0.08% for the twelve month period ended June 30, 2013 compared with 0.04% for the same period last year.
