First Bancorp of Indiana, Inc. Announces Financial Results

By: PRLog
EVANSVILLE, Ind. - Jan. 27, 2017 - PRLog -- First Bancorp of Indiana, Inc. (OTCBB:FBPI), the holding company for First Federal Savings Bank, reported earnings of $360,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2016, compared to net income of $483,000 in the same quarter last year. The quarter-over-quarter change was attributed largely to a 7.0% decrease in net interest income coupled with a 2.9% increase in noninterest expenses.

The Company recognized earnings of $754,000 in the first half of fiscal 2017, 20.4% below the same period last fiscal year. Although net loans and investments are little changed from a year ago, rates steadily declined during the first ten months of calendar 2016 resulting in reduced interest income. Noninterest income declined 2.6% between the comparative six-month periods due to a reduction in fees and charges on deposit accounts. Costs associated with the transition to an outsourced IT management solution and greater compensation expenses were largely responsible for the 4.2% increase in year-to-date noninterest expenses.

At approximately 8.8%, First Federal's tier one capital ratio was well in excess of the five percent regulatory standard for "well-capitalized" financial institutions. The bank's other capital measurements also continue to comfortably exceed "well-capitalized" standards. In addition, First Bancorp has paid a dividend of 15.5 cents per outstanding share for 35 consecutive quarters.
