United Bancorp reports 21% increase in diluted EPS in 2015
M2 - Fri Feb 05, 6:38AM CST
United Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: UBCP) has reported diluted earnings per share of USD0.64 for the year ended December 31, 2015, compared to USD0.53 for the year ended December 31, 2014, an increase of 21 percent, the company said. The company's diluted earnings per share for the three months ended December 31, 2015 increased 13 percent to USD0.17 from USD0.15 for the three months ended December 31, 2014. The company's net interest margin decreased slightly for 2015 to a level of 3.64 percent compared to 3.75 percent for 2014. This decrease in the net interest margin is attributed to the company having a higher level of investment securities for 2015 as compared to 2014. Net loans charged off for 2015 were USD380,000, or 0.12 percent of average loans, as compared to USD1.2 million, or 0.40 percent, for 2014. In addition, the company continued to see a decrease in its other real estate and repossessions (OREO) as balances decreased by USD782,000, or 68.6 percent, during the course of this past year to a level of USD357,000. The company's office consolidation in its Glouster, Ohio marketplace was completed late in the first quarter of 2015 and has lead to additional cost savings that should help to further contain noninterest expense in future periods. In May 2016, a USD6.0 million FHLB advance matures at a rate of 3.28 percent. If this advance is replaced with a short term borrowing at a current rate of 50 basis points, the company will save approximately USD167,000 annually in interest expense beginning in May 2016. In addition, the company's USD4.1 million subordinated debenture repriced on January 1, 2016 from a fixed rate of 6.25 percent to a variable rate of 0.62 percent based on the three-month LIBOR plus a margin of 1.35 percent. United Bancorp, Inc. is headquartered in Martins Ferry, Ohio and has total assets of approximately USD405.1 million and total shareholder's equity of approximately USD41.5 million as of December 31, 2015.
