Northeast Indiana Bancorp, Inc. Announces Second Quarter Earnings
HUNTINGTON, Ind., July 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Northeast
Indiana Bancorp, Inc. (NEIB), the parent company of First Federal
Savings Bank, today announced net income of $432,000 ($0.30 per
diluted common share) for the Company's second quarter ended June
30, 2004 compared to net income of $632,000 ($0.44 per diluted
common share) for the second quarter ended June 30, 2003. The
decline is primarily due to significantly less refinancing activity
between quarters that produced net gains on the sale of loans of
$28,000 for the current quarter compared to $260,000 in the year
earlier quarter. Sequentially, the second quarter 2004 net income
is $29,000 or 7.2% higher than the first quarter ended March 31,
2004 net income of $403,000. The current three month earnings
represents an annualized return on average assets (ROA) of 0.77%
and a return on average equity (ROE) of 6.46%. Net interest income
increased to $1.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 when
compared to $1.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003. The
Company's net interest margin also improved 21 basis points to
2.99% for the current quarter compared to 2.78% in the year earlier
quarter. This was primarily due to a decline in the cost of
interest-bearing liabilities that was greater than the decline in
interest-earning asset yields and to a lesser extent, higher
average loan balances during the quarter ended June 30, 2004
compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2003. A very positive
development for the Company came in the form of a sharp decline of
$1.5 million in non-performing loans to $1.3 million at June 30,
2004 compared to $2.8 million at March 31, 2004. The decrease was
due to a significant commercial real estate loan being transferred
to real estate owned during the quarter ended June 30, 2004 and
still being carried as such at quarter end. Subsequent to the
transfer of the property to real estate owned, the Bank accepted a
purchase agreement and earnest money from a qualified buyer. The
closing is expected to take place during July 2004. Based on the
outcome of this loan and no significant change in loans
outstanding, the Company made no provision for loan losses during
the quarter ended June 30, 2004. Noninterest income decreased by
$307,000 to $331,000 during the quarter ended June 30, 2004 when
compared to $638,000 in the same period a year ago. This was
primarily due to a $232,000 decrease in net gains on the sale of
loans quarter to quarter as mentioned above. The Company also
recorded a net loss on the sale of repossessed assets for the
quarter ended June 30, 2004 of $1,000 compared to a net gain on the
sale of repossessed assets for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 of
$49,000. Trust and brokerage fees declined $40,000 between quarters
due to the conversion of trust assets to another financial
institution during the third quarter of 2003 under a revenue
sharing agreement. Service charges on deposit accounts increased
$31,000 for the current quarter as a new retail overdraft program
was implemented by management during the quarter ended June 30,
2004. Non-interest expense increased to $1.3 million for the
quarter ended June 30, 2004 compared to $1.2 million for the
quarter ended June 30, 2003. This increase came primarily in
salaries and employee benefits due to increased funding on a
defined benefit pension plan, increased ESOP expense due to the
Company's current share price, and less deferred loan origination
fees due to significantly lower mortgage volumes. Occupancy, data
processing, professional fees and other expenses saw decreases
between quarters. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2004
decreased to $835,000 compared to $1.1 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2003. This decrease is mainly due to a decline of
$369,000 in net gain on the sale of loans between periods due to
significantly lower mortgage sales volumes and to a lesser extent,
lower deferred loan origination fees and increased benefit costs
between periods. These items were partially offset by an increase
in net interest income of $194,000 or 6.5% to $3.2 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to $3.0 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2003. Total assets at June 30, 2004 of $225.1
million was relatively unchanged compared to December 31, 2003
assets of $227.4 million. However, total deposits increased $8.1
million or 6.6% to $130.1 million at June 30, 2004 from $122.0
million at December 31, 2003. The increases came primarily in MMDA,
NOW, savings, and non-interest bearing checking accounts as
management continues to focus on lower costing funding sources.
These funds were used primarily to replace other borrowed funds.
Shareholder's equity at June 30, 2004 was $26.5 million compared to
$27.2 million at December 31, 2003. The company repurchased 30,186
shares of treasury stock, at an average cost of $21.95, for a total
cost of approximately $663,000 during the quarter ended June 30,
2004. In the opinion of management, these repurchases help leverage
Northeast Indiana Bancorp's remaining equity and tend to improve
return on shareholder's equity. Northeast Indiana Bancorp has
approximately 44,000 shares that may be repurchased under the
current stock repurchase program, which was previously announced.
The book value of NEIB's stock was $18.07 per common share as of
June 30, 2004. The number of outstanding common shares was
1,467,917 as of the same date. The last reported trade of the stock
on July 12, 2004 was $21.41 per common share. This represents a
1.8% increase over the closing price of $21.04 per common share on
December 31, 2003. Northeast Indiana Bancorp, Inc. is headquartered
at 648 North Jefferson Street, Huntington, Indiana. The company
