MFB CORP. ANNOUNCES THIRD 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 $358,000 or $.25 per share for the three
months ended June 30, 1999, compared to $488,000 or $.30 per share for the
three months ended June 30, 1998. Net income for the nine months ended June
30, 1999 was $1,622,000 or $1.10 per share compared to $1,656,000 or $1.02 per
share for the nine months ended June 30, 1998, representing a 7.8% earnings per
share increase.
Net interest income after provision for loan losses for the
most recent three and nine month periods totaled $2.4 million and $7.0 million
compared to $2.2 million and $6.4 million for the same periods one year ago.
During the three months ended June 30, 1999 total interest income increased by
$684,000 compared to the same period one year ago, primarily as a result of a
$28.0 million increase in commercial and consumer loan receivables. The Bank
continues to place increased emphasis on growing the small business lending
division and developing the consumer lending program within the areas serviced
by its branches. The desire for local service and local decision making has
clearly influenced the growth the Bank has experienced. Total interest expense
increased $447,000 reflecting the growth in savings account deposits and
borrowed funds. For the nine months ended June 30, 1999 total interest income
increased $2.6 million while total interest expense increased $1.9 million.
Noninterest income increased from $182,000 and $509,000 for
the three and nine months ended June 30, 1998 to $258,000 and $848,000 for the
most recent three and nine month periods. These increases are primarily due to
gains realized on the sale of first mortgage loans, servicing fee income
retained on those sold loans, and fees generated from the increasing number of
core deposit account relationships. Noninterest expenses increased from $1.4
million during the three months ended June 30, 1998 to $2.0 million during the
three months ended June 30, 1999, and from $4.1 million to $5.0 million for the
comparable nine month periods. The noninterest expense increases are primarily
attributable to the recognition of a $443,000 provision to adjust loans held
for sale to the lower of cost or market at June 30, 1999, along with staffing
increases, facility upgrades, and expenses incurred in the offering of
additional services to the Banks' customers.
The Corporation has increased total assets from $315.0
million as of September 30, 1998 to $338.5 million as of June 30, 1999,
an increase of $23.5 million (or 7.5%). Total securities, both available for
sale and held to maturity, increased from $41.8 million at September 30, 1998
to $49.8 million at June 30, 1999, an increase of $8.0 million (or 19.1%).
Total net loans increased from $245.1 million to $265.5 million during this
same nine month period, an increase of $20.4 million (or 8.3%). The investment
and loan growth has been funded primarily by the growth in total savings
deposits, additional borrowings through Federal Home Loan Bank advances and the
reduction of interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions.
Total shareholders' equity increased from $30.9 million as
of September 30, 1998 to $31.2 million as of June 30, 1999 primarily from
net income of $1.6 million offset by the repurchase of 42,264 shares of
outstanding common stock during this period at a cost of $911,000, along with
the payment of cash dividends of $386,000.
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
June 30, 1999 was .07% compared to .06% as of June 30, 1998.
In addition, MFB Corp. announced today that the Corporation
has declared a cash dividend of $ .09 per share of Common Stock for the quarter
ended June 30, 1999. The dividend is payable on August 17, 1999 to holders of
record on August 3, 1999. .
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 five banking centers located in
St. Joseph and Elkhart counties.
