MFB Corp. ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER EARNINGS
AND QUARTERLY DIVIDEND
Mishawaka, Indiana - MFB Corp. (NASDAQ/MFBC),(the
"Corporation"), parent company of MFB Financial (the "Bank"), today
reported consolidated net income of $724,000 or $ .51 diluted earnings per
common share for the three months ended March 31, 2000, compared to
$594,000 or $ .40 diluted earnings per common share for the three months
ended March 31, 1999, an earnings per share increase of 27.50%. Net income
for the six months ended March 31, 2000 was $1,413,000 or $ .99 diluted
earnings per share compared to $1,257,000 or $ .86 diluted earnings per
share for the six months ended March 31, 1999, representing a 15.1% year to
date earnings per share increase.
Net interest income after provision for loan losses for
the most recent three and six month periods totaled $2.8 million and $5.6
million compared to $2.3 million and $4.6 million for the same periods one
year ago. During the three months ended March 31, 2000 total interest
income increased by $937,000 compared to the same period one year ago,
primarily as a result of increased volumes of loans receivable,
particularly commercial and consumer loans. Commercial and consumer loan
receivables, including home equity and second mortgage loans, increased
$42.1 million and mortgage loan receivables increased $28.0 million from
March 31, 1999 to March 31, 2000. Total interest expense increased $383,000
reflecting the growth in savings account deposits. For the six months ended
March 31, 2000 total interest income increased $1.5 million while total
interest expense increased $441,000.
Noninterest income increased from $286,000 and $590,000
for the three and six months ended March 31, 1999 to $302,000 and $659,000
for the most recent three and six month periods. These increases are
primarily due to fees generated from the increasing number of core deposit
account relationships and income generated from the Bank's trust department
formed in 1999. Noninterest expenses increased from $1.6 million during the
three months ended March 31, 1999 to $2.0 million during the three months
ended March 31, 2000, and from $3.1 million to $4.0 million for the
comparable six month periods. The noninterest expense increases are
primarily attributable to staffing increases, renovated facilities to
support lending operations, expenses associated with the opening of a new
full service office during the first quarter of 2000, and expenses incurred
in the offering of additional services to the Banks' customers.
The Corporation has increased total assets from $346.5
million as of September 30, 1999 to $382.6 million as of March 31, 2000, an
increase of $36.1 million (or 10.4%). Total net loans increased from $277.5
million to $307.8 million during this same six month period, an increase of
$30.3 million (or 10.9%). The loan growth has been funded primarily by the
growth in total savings deposits, securities sold under agreements to
repurchase and additional borrowings through Federal Home Loan Bank
advances.
Total shareholders' equity increased from $31.2 million
as of September 30, 1999 to $31.5 million as of March 31, 2000 mainly from
net income of $1.4 million offset by the repurchase of 39,600 shares of
outstanding common stock during this period at a cost of $700,000, cash
dividend payments of $262,000 and a $256,000 adjustment to reflect the
decrease in the market value of securities available for sale, net of tax.
While achieving substantial growth, the Corporation
continues to maintain asset quality that compares favorably to its industry
peer group. The ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets as of March
31, 2000 was .05% compared to .05% as of March 31, 1999.
In addition, MFB Corp. announced today that the
Corporation has declared a cash dividend of $ .095 per share of Common
Stock for the quarter ended March 31, 2000. The dividend is payable on May
16, 2000 to holders of record on May 2, 2000.
The Bank is a wholly owned subsidiary of MFB Corp.
providing retail and small business financial services to the Michiana area
through its main office in Mishawaka and six banking centers located in St.
Joseph and Elkhart counties.
