Holland, Michigan —Macatawa Bank Corporation Reports Second Quarter Net Income Up 25%.
Macatawa Bank Corporation today announced net income for the second quarter of 2003. Net income totaled $2.93 million, an increase of 25% as compared to second quarter 2002 net income of $2.35 million. Earnings per share on a diluted basis were $.35 for the quarter, also a 25% increase compared to diluted earnings per share of $.28 for the prior year second quarter. The increased earnings improved second quarter return on equity to 9.93% from 8.66% for the same period in the prior year and improved return on assets to .96% compared to .89%.
Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was up 49% to $5.7 million compared to $3.9 million for the same period in the prior year. Earnings per share on a diluted basis were $.68 for the six months year-to-date, an increase of 26% compared to $.54 for the same period in the prior year. The percent increase in earnings per share for the six months was less than the percent increase in net income due to a 45% increase in shares outstanding for the acquisition of Grand Bank Financial Corporation in the second quarter of 2002.
“While the economic environment became even more challenging this quarter, we continued to achieve a high level of success,” said Ben Smith, Chairman and CEO. “We carried on our growth in total assets and once again achieved double digit percent growth in earnings per share.” Total assets were $1.26 billion as of June 30, 2003 which was an increase of $169.5 million or 16% over the end of the second quarter of 2002. Commenting further, Mr. Smith stated, “We continue to fund a large portion of our asset growth with deposits from our branch network and are particularly pleased with our success in growing non-interest bearing deposits.” Total non-interest bearing deposits increased by 43% since June 30, 2002.
The increase in quarterly earnings resulted from improvements in both net interest income and non-interest income. Second quarter net interest income totaled $10.3 million, an increase of $1.5 million or 17%, as compared to the 2002 quarter. The net interest income improvement was driven primarily by the significant increase in earning assets, which grew by 16% or $158.5 million from an average of $977.5 million for the second quarter of 2002 to an average of $1.14 billion for the second quarter of 2003. An increase in net interest margin, which was up to 3.64% for the second quarter of 2003 from 3.58% for the same quarter of the prior year, also contributed to the improvement in net interest income. The improvement in net interest margin can be attributed to both strong growth in non-interest bearing deposits and the continued decrease in the cost of interest bearing deposits caused by the currently low interest rate environment.
Non-interest income was $2.4 million for the second quarter of 2003, a 41% increase over second quarter 2002 non-interest income of $1.7 million. Most of this improvement came from gains on sales of mortgage loans. Macatawa’s mortgage banking function continued to capitalize on the current mortgage interest rate environment and achieved high loan sales volume resulting in gains of $973,000 for the quarter, an increase of $543,000 over the prior year second quarter. Income from deposit service charges also increased, growing by $101,000 or 18% compared to the second quarter of the prior year. This growth in service charge income was a direct result of the growth in non-interest bearing deposit accounts.
Asset quality remained strong for the quarter with annualized net loan charge-offs to total loans at .20% for the quarter and non-performing loans to total loans of .23% at the end of the quarter. These ratios remained well below historical peer averages.
Non-interest expense increased to $7.4 million for the quarter as compared to $6.1 million for the second quarter of 2002. Salaries and benefits increased by $870,000 comprising most of the increase in non-interest expenses. Macatawa’s growth has required additional staff in various areas including new branches, lending departments, and operations which are all necessary to support increased customer activity. “These increased costs reflect our attention to properly managing and supporting our growth and our interest in creating a platform for strong future growth,” said Ben Smith. With the increases in net interest income and non-interest income, revenue growth offset this non-interest expense growth with the result of achieving an efficiency ratio of 58.5%, approximately the same level as in the second quarter of the prior year.
Macatawa’s expansion focus continued during the second quarter as construction began for a new branch in Grand Rapids at the corner of Knapp Street and East Beltline Avenue. The construction of a new branch in Grandville replacing a store front location was completed in May and opened for business at the end of that month. Additional expansion in Grand Rapids is anticipated with plans to open at least three more branches in this area within the next two years. In Holland, construction began for a branch located on the North side of the city in order to round out Macatawa’s presence in this market.
On July 15, 2003 Macatawa raised additional capital in the amount of $20.0 million by participating in a pooled trust preferred security issuance. These proceeds, which are classified as debt on the balance sheet, provide additional regulatory capital to support future growth in assets. Mr. Smith commented, “Our tremendous growth and plans for future growth required more capital at this time. The trust preferred securities complement our capital structure well by providing a low cost source without diluting our current shareholders through a common stock offering.”
