Northern States Financial Corporation Reports First Quarter Earnings

WAUKEGAN, Ill., April 19, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Northern States Financial Corporation (OTC PINK:NSFC) (the “Company”), holding company for NorStates Bank (the “Bank”), an FDIC insured financial institution, today reported first quarter 2017 net income after tax of $370 thousand, an increase of $49 thousand, or 15.3%, compared with first quarter 2016 net income after tax of $321 thousand. The Company’s per share book value at March 31, 2017 was $0.65.

Some highlights of continued financial improvement during the first quarter of 2017 included the following:

Average loans increased by $50.8 million for the first quarter of 2017 compared with the first quarter of 2016. Loan interest income increased $360 thousand for the first quarter of 2017 compared to the first quarter of 2016. The increased loan interest income contributed to a net interest margin for the first quarter of 2017 of 3.21%.
Non-performing assets (“NPAs”), consisting of nonaccrual loans, ninety days or more past due loans still accruing, loans considered troubled debt restructurings and other real estate owned, decreased by $499 thousand from December 31, 2016 to March 31, 2017. At March 31, 2017, the allowance for loan and lease losses to total loans and leases ratio was 1.94%.
Although first quarter 2017 noninterest income decreased $35 thousand compared to the first quarter of 2016, noninterest income during the first quarter of 2016 included a gain of $117 thousand on the sale of investment securities. After discounting this gain, noninterest income would have increased $82 thousand in the first quarter of 2017 compared with the same quarter of 2016.
The Company focused on growing core deposits consisting of personal and business non-time deposits. Core deposits increased $9.9 million, or 3.7%, at March 31, 2017 from December 31, 2016. Core deposits growth assisted the Company in maintaining a low cost of funds during the first quarter of 2017 at 15 basis points with the Bank’s cost of funds at 8 basis points.

“We expect future income to be positively affected by our continued deployment of excess liquidity and focus on the reduction of expenses and NPAs,” stated Scott Yelvington, President and Chief Executive Officer.
