Ohio Valley Banc Corp Continues Earnings Growth
-----------------------------------------------
Ohio Valley Banc Corp [Nasdaq: OVBC] reported consolidated net earnings for the
quarter ended June 30, 2003, of $1,573,000 representing an increase of 16.3
percent over the same time period last year. Earnings per share for the second
quarter of 2003 were $.45, up 15.4 percent from the $.39 earned the second
quarter of 2002. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, consolidated net
earnings were $3,032,000, up 16.4 percent compared to $2,605,000 a year ago.
Earnings per share were $.87 for 2003 versus $.75 last year, an increase of 16.0
percent.
OVBC's earnings represent another quarter of solid growth despite a challenging
economic environment. The double-digit earnings growth was driven by an increase
in revenue sources combined with a decline in operating expenses. For the second
quarter of 2003, net interest income increased $285,000 or 4.3 percent over the
prior year second quarter. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, net interest
income improved $828,000 or 6.3 percent over the prior year. For the first half
of 2003, the net interest margin was 4.36 percent compared to 4.40 percent for
the same time period last year.
Providing additional revenue growth was positive gains in noninterest income.
For the three months ended June 30, 2003, noninterest income increased $114,000
over the prior year second quarter and on a year-to-date basis noninterest
income was up $280,000 or 10.4% from 2002. The growth in noninterest income came
from the sales of secondary market real estate loans which generated an
additional $331,000 in revenue over the prior year.
For the second quarter of 2003, noninterest expense totaled $5,039,000, which is
a decline of $371,000 or 6.9 percent compared to the same time period last year.
On a year-to-date basis, noninterest expense totaled $9,963,000 in 2003, a
decrease of $220,000 compared to $10,183,000 the previous year. Salaries and
employee benefits grew $363,000 or 6.8 percent for the first six months of 2003,
as compared to the same time period in 2002. The increase was related to annual
merit increases and the rising cost of medical insurance. Contributing to the
decline in other noninterest expense was the charge off of fraudulent checks
during the second quarter of 2002 with the impact net of recoveries being
$454,000. The remaining noninterest expense categories are collectively down
from 2002. OVBC's efficiency ratio continues to improve driven by revenue growth
of 7.0 percent versus a decrease in total expense of 2.2 percent. The efficiency
ratio was 58.4 percent for the first half of 2003, as compared to 63.4 percent
the prior year.
For the six months ended 2003, the Company's provision for loan losses increased
$678,000 over the same time period last year. Nonperforming loans as a percent
of total loans decreased to 1.08 percent at June 30, 2003, compared to 1.44
percent at year end 2002. However, nonperfoming assets to total assets increased
to 1.36 percent at June 30, 2003 from 1.21 percent at December 31, 2002. The
decrease in nonperforming loans and increase in nonperforming assets was in
relation to two commercial loans moving from nonaccrual status to other real
estate owned. Net charge-offs for the first half of 2003 were up $902,000 from
the same time period last year which occurred primarily in commercial loans. The
allowance for loan losses was 1.32 percent of total loans at June 30, 2003, as
compared to 1.26 percent on December 31, 2002. Based on the evaluation of the
adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, management feels that the allowance
for loan losses is adequate to absorb probable losses in the portfolio.
Total assets increased $2,290,000 from year end 2002 to reach $698,646,000 at
June 30, 2002. Asset growth in 2003 has been challenged by a decline in loan
demand combined with more emphasis placed on selling long-term, fixed rate
residential real estate loans into the secondary market to reduce interest rate
risk. The real estate loan portfolio is down $12,633,000 from year end.
Commercial loans have increased modestly by $7,972,000 and installment loans
have been relatively level since year end. OVBC's funding growth has occurred
mostly in retail deposits. Interest-bearing deposits grew $9,337,000 led by
savings and NOW accounts. Furthermore, checking account balances are up
$4,064,000. Offsetting the increase in retail deposits was a decline in
repurchase agreements of $7,717,000 and other borrowed funds of $6,344,000.
President and CEO Jeff Smith stated, "We are pleased with the double-digit
earnings growth delivered by our employees which continues our commitment to
improving shareholder total cumulative return. The Company's improved efficiency
has enhanced return on equity which improved to 11.95 percent for the six months
ended June 30, 2003 versus 11.20 percent for the first six months of 2002."
