BROOKFIELD, Wis., July 19, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CIB Marine Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company” or “CIBM”) (OTCQB: CIBH), the holding company of CIBM Bank, announced its unaudited results of operations and financial condition for the second quarter of 2019. Income before taxes for the quarter was $1.0 million compared to $1.1 million for the same period in 2018, and for the six months ending June 30, 2019, it was $1.9 million compared to $2.0 million for the same period in 2018.
A summary of financial results for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2019, is attached. Select highlights include:
Tangible book value per share and stated book value per share at June 30, 2019, were $2.97 and $2.60 per share of common stock, respectively, compared to $2.82 and $2.45, respectively, at December 31, 2018. The increase reflects reported income for the six months ended June 30, 2019, and improved net accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) due to improved available for sale security values as a result of lower market interest rates.
Income before taxes for subsidiary CIBM Bank was $1.2 million for the quarter compared to $1.4 million for the same period in 2018, and $2.0 million for the six months ending June 30, 2019, compared to $2.5 million for the same period in 2018. Comparing the two six month periods, there was a decline in net interest income of $0.2 million due primarily to rising cost of funds, and a decline in non-interest income of $0.9 million due to lower net mortgage banking revenues and SBA gains on sale as a result of lower origination volumes. This was offset, in part, by lower non-interest expenses of $0.4 million and a $0.2 million improvement in provisions to loan losses.
Non-performing assets, restructured loans, and loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing to total assets was 1.40% at June 30, 2019, versus 1.45% at December 31, 2018, and 0.94% at June 30, 2018. The increase from one year ago is primarily the result of one loan placed on non-accrual during the fourth quarter of 2018. CIB Marine’s allowance for loan losses was 1.41% at June 30, 2019, versus 1.62% at December 31, 2018, and 1.65% at June 30, 2018. The decline was primarily due to a $0.5 million charge-off of a loan that was previously reserved for.
Mr. J. Brian Chaffin, President and CEO of CIBM, commented, “Our mortgage division increased mortgage loan closings by $47 million in the second quarter versus the first quarter of 2019 and net mortgage banking revenue increased by $1.2 million over the same period. The improvements are attributable to a number of factors including seasonality, the division’s success in purchase money lending activity, a number of new hires, and lower interest rates. At the same time, our loan portfolio grew by $24 million during the quarter with contributions from all major portfolio segments, including commercial, residential, and home equity lines of credit. Our SBA loan originations continue to be softer than the prior year with our gains on sale year to date totaling $0.3 million compared to $0.7 million for the same period last year, but there is a significant pipeline developed that we expect to support higher originations and gains on sale in the quarters ahead.”
He added, “Our rising trend in cost of funds has slowed due to a number of factors, including slower total balance sheet growth in the industry and market pricing for lower future short- and mid-term interest rates. However, it continues to have an adverse effect on our net interest income growth and our net interest margin, which reported at 2.89% for the second quarter of 2019, down from 2.94% in the first quarter.
“Lastly, we concluded the offering period of the second of three planned preferred stock modified Dutch auctions in June of 2019. Of the approximately 29,475 shares of preferred stock offered for sale, approximately 2,229 shares met the criteria for repurchase laid out by the Board of Directors of CIBM and are anticipated to be accepted by CIBM for a total price of $1.6 million, pending necessary regulatory approvals. It is contemplated a discount of $0.3 million to the carrying value of preferred stock shares will be transferred to paid-in capital upon acceptance by CIBM of these offered shares. CIBM plans to settle the transactions from cash and no additional capital has been or is contemplated to be issued to provide funding for the purchases. As a reminder, a $3.5 million liability currently exists for the purchase of 4,923 preferred shares, which will settle on or before December 1, 2019, as agreed to in 2018.”
