Porter Bancorp Reports 2nd Quarter 2016 Net Income of $979,000 or $0.03 Per Diluted Share

Porter Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: PBIB), parent company of PBI Bank, today reported unaudited results for the second quarter of 2016.

The Company reported that net income available to common shareholders for the second quarter of 2016 was $979,000, or $0.03 per basic and diluted common share, compared with net loss attributable to common shareholders of $2.0 million, or ($0.08) per basic and diluted share, for the second quarter of 2015. Net income available to common shareholders for the six months ended June 30, 2016, was $2.4 million, or $0.09 per diluted common share, compared with net loss attributable to common shareholders of $1.3 million, or ($0.06) per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2015.

John T. Taylor, President and CEO of the Company noted, “PBI Bank has continued to make significant progress in reducing its non-performing assets. In the second quarter of 2016, non-performing assets were reduced by $5.1 million after achieving reductions of $4.3 million in the first quarter of 2016. In addition to lowering the risk profile of the Company, we are pleased to see a second consecutive profitable quarter, as the cost to remediate non-performing assets continues to decline, and we continue the all-important work of attracting new customers and providing high quality service to our existing customer base.”

Net Interest Income – Net interest income before provision expense decreased to $7.2 million for the second quarter of 2016 compared with $7.7 million in the first quarter of 2016, and $7.3 million in the second quarter of 2015. Net interest income was positively impacted in the first quarter of 2016 by the collection of previously charged-off accrued uncollected interest of approximately $285,000. Average loans declined slightly to $619.3 million for the second quarter of 2016 compared with $620.1 million in the first quarter of 2016 and declined compared to $641.6 million in the second quarter of 2015. Net interest margin decreased to 3.34% in the second quarter of 2016, compared with 3.53% in the first quarter of 2016 and increased compared to 3.21% in the second quarter of 2015.

Our yield on earning assets declined to 4.03% in the second quarter of 2016 compared to 4.23% in the first quarter of 2016 and improved slightly compared to 4.00% in the second quarter of 2015. As mentioned above, the yield on earning assets was positively impacted in the first quarter of 2016 by the collection of previously charged-off accrued uncollected interest of approximately $285,000 along with the full unpaid balance on three nonaccrual loans. Our cost of funds was 0.79% in the second quarter of 2016 and the first quarter of 2016 and improved from 0.87% in the second quarter of 2015.

Allowance for Loan Losses – The allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.62% at June 30, 2016, compared to 1.83% at March 31, 2016, and 2.59% at June 30, 2015. The declining level of the allowance is primarily driven by declining historical charge-off levels and improving trends in credit quality. Net loan charge-offs were $636,000 for the second quarter of 2016, compared to net charge-offs of $151,000 for the first quarter of 2016 and net charge-offs of $1.8 million for the second quarter of 2015. The allowance for loan losses for loans evaluated collectively for impairment was 1.66% at June 30, 2016, compared with 1.83% at March 31, 2016, and 2.66% at June 30, 2015.

Because of ongoing improvements in asset quality and management’s assessment of risk in the loan portfolio, a negative provision of $600,000 was recorded for the second quarter of 2016, compared to a negative provision of $550,000 for the first quarter of 2016 and no provision for loan losses in the second quarter of 2015.

Non-performing Assets – Non-performing assets, which include loans past due 90 days and still accruing, loans on nonaccrual, and other real estate owned (“OREO”), decreased to $23.9 million, or 2.61% of total assets at June 30, 2016, compared with $29.0 million, or 3.09% of total assets at March 31, 2016, and $69.9 million, or 7.13% of total assets at June 30, 2015.

Non-performing loans increased slightly to $11.6 million, or 1.86% of total loans at June 30, 2016, compared with $11.1 million, or 1.79% of total loans at March 31, 2016, and decreased from $30.3 million, or 4.67% of total loans at June 30, 2015. The increase from the previous quarter was primarily driven by $2.0 million in loans being placed on nonaccrual during the second quarter. The impact of loans placed on nonaccrual was offset by $731,000 in principal payments received on nonaccrual loans, $135,000 of nonaccrual loans migrating to OREO, and $344,000 in charge-offs.

OREO at June 30, 2016, decreased to $12.3 million, compared with $17.9 million at March 31, 2016, and $39.5 million at June 30, 2015. The Company acquired $135,000 in OREO and sold $5.6 million in OREO during the second quarter of 2016. Fair value write-downs arising from lower marketing prices or new appraisals totaled $150,000 in the second quarter of 2016, compared with $500,000 in the first quarter of 2016 and $2.3 million in the second quarter of 2015.

In addition to nonaccrual loans and OREO, loans classified as Troubled Debt Restructures (TDRs) and on accrual totaled $13.9 million at June 30, 2016, compared to $14.9 million at March 31, 2016, and $18.5 million at June 30, 2015.

Non-interest Income – Non-interest income decreased $239,000 to $1.2 million for the second quarter of 2016, compared with $1.4 million for the first quarter of 2016, and decreased $413,000 compared with $1.6 million for the second quarter of 2015. There was no gain on sales of securities in the second quarter of 2016, compared to $203,000 in the first quarter of 2016 and $199,000 in the second quarter of 2015. Additionally, OREO income has continued to decline as income producing properties have been sold.

Non-interest Expense – Non-interest expense decreased $155,000 to $7.9 million for the second quarter of 2016, compared with $8.1 million for the first quarter of 2016, and decreased $3.1 million compared with $11.0 million for the second quarter of 2015. The decrease from the first quarter of 2016 was primarily due to a reduction in OREO expenses of approximately $374,000 as fair value write downs based upon listing prices as well as new appraisals declined from $500,000 in the first quarter of 2016 to $150,000 in the second quarter. The decrease in OREO expense was offset by increases in professional fees of approximately $107,000 and loan collection expense of approximately $189,000. Loan collection expense was positively impacted in the first quarter of 2016 by recoveries of approximately $70,000 in previously incurred expenses.

Capital – On April 15, 2016, we completed a $5.03 million stock offering to accredited investors in a private placement transaction in which we sold 2,300,000 Common Shares and 1,100,000 Non-Voting Common Shares to non-affiliate investors at $1.25 per share. Three directors of the Company, including President and CEO John T. Taylor, also purchased a total of 600,000 Common Shares for $1.30 per share, but otherwise on the same terms and conditions as the other investors. Approximately $2.8 million of the proceeds were directed by the investors to make interest payments on the outstanding capital securities of the Company’s subsidiary trusts, bringing interest payments current through the second quarter of 2016. Also from the proceeds, the Company made a $500,000 capital contribution to PBI Bank and the balance of the proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes.

At June 30, 2016, PBI Bank’s Tier 1 leverage ratio was 6.65% compared with 6.39% at March 31, 2016, and its Total risk-based capital ratio was 10.87% at June 30, 2016, compared with 10.64% at March 31, 2016, which are below the minimums of 9.0% and 12.0% required by the Bank’s Consent Order. At June 30, 2016, Porter Bancorp’s leverage ratio was 5.87% compared with 5.03% at March 31, 2016, and its Total risk-based capital ratio was 11.31%, compared with 10.46% at March 31, 2016. At June 30, 2016, PBI Bank’s Common equity Tier I risk-based capital ratio was 9.22%, and Porter Bancorp’s Common equity Tier I risk-based capital ratio was 6.11%.
