Net Income and Results of Operations
For the quarter ended June 30, 2019, Summit State Bank (“Bank”) had net income of $1,172,000 and diluted earnings per share of $0.19 compared to net income of $1,461,000 and diluted earnings per share of $0.24 for the same quarter in 2018. Net income decreased $289,000 or 20% the second quarter of 2019 compared to the second quarter of 2018.
Net interest income increased to $5,499,000 in the second quarter of 2019 compared to $5,240,000 in the second quarter of 2018. This was an increase of $259,000 or 5% from the prior year.
Net loans, deposits and total assets also increased when comparing the second quarter of 2019 to second quarter of 2018. Loans increased 16% to $536,674,000 at June 30, 2019 compared to $463,856,000 at June 30, 2018, deposits increased 3% to $532,257,000 at June 30, 2019 compared to $517,318,000 at June 30, 2018, and total assets increased 8% to $635,622,000 at June 30, 2019 compared to $585,950,000 at June 30, 2018.
“In the past year, the Bank has seen significant growth in its loan portfolio, 16% for the current quarter compared to a year ago,” said Jim Brush, President and CEO. “It is rewarding to see our staff invest so much effort into making our strategy a reality, they are the heart of our operations and the key to our long-term success.”
For the second quarter 2019, the net interest margin was 3.64%, annualized return on average assets was 0.75% and annualized return on average equity was 7.36%. The second quarter of 2018 generated an annualized net interest margin of 3.69%, annualized return on average assets of 1.01% and annualized return on average equity of 9.79%.
Non-interest income decreased in the second quarter of 2019 to $340,000 compared to $542,000 in the second quarter of 2018. The Bank did not sell any loans in the second quarter of 2019 but recognized $155,000 in gains on sales of SBA guaranteed loan balances in 2018. Rental income also decreased in the second quarter of 2019 to $81,000 compared to $149,000 in the second quarter of 2018.
There was a $438,000 or 12% increase in operating expenses between the second quarter of 2019 as compared to the second quarter of 2018. The increase in expenses are primarily due to the increase in employees, benefits and occupancy costs.
“As expected, this type of growth comes with its own set of challenges like maintaining net interest margin,” said Brush. “We continue to make a deliberate focus to invest our money in local markets and this is having a positive impact on our loan and asset growth.”
“In the shorter term, we will continue managing the cost of deposits. In recent weeks we have seen several shifts in the deposit market that will improve margins and net income in the second half of this year,” Brush said. “We are disappointed the net profit was not higher this quarter but believe our earnings will rebound and end near target for 2019.”
Nonperforming assets were $715,000 or 0.11% of total assets at June 30, 2019 compared to $2,606,000 or 0.44% at June 30, 2018. The nonperforming assets at June 30, 2019, consist of five loans which are predominantly secured by real property. The Bank had provision expense of $180,000 in the second quarter of 2019. The allowance for loan losses to loans was 1.17% at June 30, 2019 compared to 1.23% at June 30, 2018. In June 2019, the Bank also completed the private placement of $6,000,000 in subordinated notes. These notes qualify as Tier 2 capital for regulatory purposes.
