Third Century Bancorp Releases Earnings for the Quarter and Six-Months Ended June 30, 2020

FRANKLIN, Ind.--()--(OTCPINK: TDCB)--Third Century Bancorp (“Company”), the holding company for Mutual Savings Bank (“Bank”), announced it had a record level of net income of $475,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, or $0.40 per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $240,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, or $0.20 per basic and diluted share. For the six-months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded net income of $928,000, or $0.78 per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $443,000 for the six-months ended June 30, 2019, or $0.38 per basic and diluted share.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2020, net income increased $235,000, or 97.92%, to $475,000 as compared to $240,000 for the same period in the prior year. The increase in net income for the three-month period ended June 30, 2020 was driven primarily as result of the $691,000, or 228.05%, increase in non-interest income. The increase in non-interest income was driven primarily by a $405,000 or 294.58%, increase in gains on the sale of loans, along with related loan fees. This increase was partially offset by a $307,000, or 22.10% increase in non-interest expense in the quarter ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the same quarter in the prior year. The increase in non-interest expense was due to an increase in overhead expenses. Net interest income decreased by $2,000, or 0.13% for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, to $1,449,000 as compared to $1,451,000 for the same period in the prior year.

The increase in net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 was partially offset by a $120,000 increase in the provision for loan losses compared to the same period in 2019 due to the economic conditions resulting from the current COVID-19 crisis. The Company had net loan recoveries of $5,000 during the quarter ended June 30, 2020 compared to net loan recoveries of $17,000 for the same period in 2019. The Company expects that the current COVID-19 crisis will impact the future provision for loan losses and that credit quality factors may deteriorate in future periods.

For the six-months ended June 30, 2020, net income increased $485,000, or 109.48%, to $928,000 from $443,000 for the six-months ended June 30, 2019. The increase in net income for the six-months ended June 30, 2020 was primarily due to an increase in noninterest income of $996,000, or 186.16%, to $1,531,000 for the six-months ended June 30, 2020 from $535,000 for the six-months ended June 30, 2019. The increase in non-interest income was driven primarily by a $703,000, or 513.13%, increase in gains on the sale of loans, along with related loan fees. This increase was partially offset by a $536,000, or 19.91%, increase in noninterest expense for the six-months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase in noninterest expense for the six-months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in the prior year was due to a $375,000, or 22.68%, increase in salaries and employee benefits.

Net interest income increased by $153,000, or 5.38%, to $2,995,000 for the six-months ended June 30, 2020, up from $2,842,000 for the six-months ended June 30, 2019. The increase in net interest income for the six-months ended June 30, 2020 was due to a $145,000, or 4.22%, increase in interest income and supported by a $8,000, or 1.34%, decrease in interest expense as compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase in interest income was due to an increase in average interest-earning assets, partially offset by a decrease in the average yield on interest-earning assets. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to a decrease in the average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities, in spite of higher average balances of interest bearing liabilities.

The increase in net interest income for the six-months ended June 30, 2020 was partially offset by a $64,000 increase in the provision for loan losses in the six-months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase in provision for loan losses was primarily due to economic conditions resulting from the current COVID-19 crisis.

The increase in net income for the six-months ended June 30, 2020 was also partially offset by a $64,000 increase in income tax expense on higher pre-tax income as compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase in income tax expense was due to higher pre-tax income partially offset by a decrease in the effective income tax rate to 16.62% for the six-months ended June 30, 2020 from 21.45% for the same period in the prior year.

Total assets increased $26.1 million to $202.2 million at June 30, 2020 from $176.1 million at December 31, 2019, an increase of 14.82%. The increase was primarily due to a $10.2 million, or 7.96%, increase in loans held-for-investment, primarily funded by a $19.7 million, or 13.49%, increase in total deposits. Federal Home Loan Bank advances were $15.7 million at June 30, 2020 as compared to $12.3 million at December 31, 2019. At June 30, 2020, the weighted average rate of all Federal Home Loan Bank advances was 1.19% compared to 1.74% at December 31, 2019, and the weighted average maturity was 2.4 years at June 30, 2020 compared to 1.9 years at December 31, 2019. Total investment securities grew to $46.3 million at June 30, 2020 from $36.7 million at December 31, 2019, an increase of 26.16%.

Total loans held-for-investment increased by $10.1 million during the six-months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in total loan balances was the result of loans originated through the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) in which the Company participated. The Company originated $8.5 million of loans in the program, of which all remain on our balance sheet as of June 30, 2020.

The allowance for loan losses increased by $163,000, or 11.05%, to $1.6 million at June 30, 2020 from $1.4 million at December 31, 2019. The increase was primarily due to the provision for loan losses of $180,000. The allowance for loan losses totaled 1.17% of total loans as of June 30, 2020, as compared to 1.15% as of December 31, 2019. Nonperforming loans totaled $118,000 or 0.08% of total loans as of June 30, 2020 as compared to $10,000 as of December 31, 2019.

Stockholders’ equity was $19.6 million at June 30, 2020, up from $17.6 million at December 31, 2019. Stockholders’ equity increased by $1,985,000 during the six-months ended June 30, 2020 as a result of net income of $928,000, and an increase in net unrealized gain of $1,129,000 of available-for-sale securities due to the decrease in market interest rates. These increases in Stockholders’ equity were also offset by dividends paid of $83,000. Equity as a percentage of assets decreased to 9.67% at June 30, 2020 compared to 9.98% at December 31, 2019.
