Old Line Bancshares, Inc. Announces Net Income Available to Common Shareholders of $410 Thousand Dollars for the First Quarter of 2009
BOWIE, Md., May 4, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- James W. Cornelsen, President and Chief Executive Officer of Old Line Bancshares, Inc. (Nasdaq:OLBK), the parent company of Old Line Bank, reported that net income increased $67,495 or 15.17% for the three months ended March 31, 2009 to $512,327 from $444,833 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. After inclusion of the dividends and accretion on the preferred stock issued under the U.S. Treasury Department's Capital Purchase Program in December 2008, net income available to common shareholders for the three month period was $409,755. Earnings per basic and diluted common share were $0.11 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008. The 15.17% increase in net income for the three month period was primarily the result of an approximately $423,000 increase in net interest income. This increase derived from a $15.7 million or 6.79% increase in net loans during the period as Old Line Bank's net interest margin remained comparable to that reported in 2008. We also had an approximately $160,000 increase in pre-tax earnings from our majority owned subsidiary Pointer Ridge Office Investments, L.L.C. These increases were partially offset by a $261,600 increase in the loan loss provision from $38,400 to $300,000 and increased operating expenses associated with the opening of our College Park and Annapolis branches in 2008. The increase in earnings from Pointer Ridge derived from a non-recurring lease termination fee.
Mr. Cornelsen stated: "I am pleased to report continued profitability during one of the most challenging economic periods in the last thirty years. Although we continue to maintain strong asset quality with only two non-accrual loans totaling $1.5 million, in the current economic climate, we believe it is prudent to increase our loan loss provision. During the period we placed one loan in the amount of approximately $700,000 in non-accrual. We ended the quarter with two non-performing loans totaling approximately $1.5 million or 0.45% of total assets.
In November 2008, we acquired an additional 12.5% membership interest in Pointer Ridge Office Investments, LLC. This purchase increased our ownership percentage in the entity from 50.0% to 62.5%. As a result, we now consolidate their financial results with ours and make the appropriate minority interest adjustments in stockholders' equity." As stated above, the net impact of this investment during the quarter ended March 31, 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008 was a $160,000 increase in pre-tax earnings.
At March 31, 2009, the allowance for loan losses was $2.3 million or 0.92% of gross loans compared to $1.9 million or 0.85% of gross loans at December 31, 2008. Historically, we have had minimal past dues and charge-offs. Based on our history, internal analysis and the satisfactory historical performance of the loan portfolio, we believe this allowance appropriately reflects the inherent risk of loss in our portfolio and the current economic climate.
