First Defiance Financial Corp. (NASDAQ: FDEF) announced today its unaudited financial results for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2019. Net income for the second quarter ended June 30, 2019, totaled $12.2 million, or $0.61 per diluted common share compared to $11.1 million or $0.54 per diluted common share for the quarter ended June 30, 2018.

“Solid loan growth, net interest margin expansion, and continued asset quality improvement from a year ago are all highlights within our quarterly results,” said Donald P. Hileman, President and Chief Executive Officer of First Defiance Financial Corp. “Our return on average assets increased to 1.52% in the second quarter from 1.48% last year while total assets grew 7.8% over prior year. Our performance encourages our very positive outlook for the rest of the year.”
Net Interest Income up from Second Quarter of 2018
Net interest income of $29.0 million in the second quarter of 2019 was up from $26.5 million in the second quarter of 2018. The increase was primarily due to the growth in earning assets supplemented by expansion in the net interest margin versus the second quarter of last year. Net interest margin was 4.03% for the second of 2019, and up from 3.95% in the second quarter of 2018. Yield on interest earning assets increased by 38 basis points, to 4.89% in the second quarter of 2019 from 4.51% in the second quarter of 2018. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased by 40 basis points in the second quarter of 2019 to 1.14% from 0.74% in the second quarter of 2018.
“Successes in the implementation of our growth strategies were evident this quarter with annualized loan growth of 11.8%,” said Hileman. “Further, our net interest margin remains strong at 4.03%, consistent with prior quarter and up 8 basis points from prior year. Loan growth and margin expansion combined to increase net interest income 9.2% over the second quarter last year.”
Non-Interest Income up from Second Quarter of 2018
First Defiance’s non-interest income for the second quarter of 2019 was $10.5 million compared with $10.2 million in the second quarter of 2018. Results for the second quarter of 2019 included $93,000 of BOLI income death benefit whereas the second quarter of 2018 included $168,000 of BOLI income death benefit.
Mortgage banking income was $2.1 million in the second quarter of 2019, up from $2.0 million in the second quarter of 2018. Mortgage originations totaled $85.5 million in the second quarter of 2019, up seasonally from the first quarter of 2019 and up from $80.5 million in the same quarter of last year. Gains from the sale of mortgage loans increased in the second quarter of 2019 to $1.8 million from $1.4 million in the second quarter of 2018. Mortgage loan servicing revenue was $943,000 in the second quarter of 2019, up slightly from $933,000 in the second quarter of 2018. First Defiance had a negative change in the valuation adjustment in mortgage servicing assets of $190,000 in the second quarter of 2019 compared with a positive adjustment of $47,000 in the second quarter of 2018. In addition, gains on the sale of non-mortgages, which include SBA and FSA loans, totaled $21,000 in the second quarter of 2019 compared to $43,000 in the second quarter of 2018.
For the second quarter of 2019, commissions from the sale of insurance products were $3.6 million, up from $3.5 million in the second quarter of 2018. Service fees and other charges were $3.3 million in the second quarter of 2019, consistent with $3.3 million in the second quarter of 2018. Trust income was $476,000 in the second quarter of 2019, down from $522,000 in the second quarter of 2018. Income from BOLI was $528,000 in the second quarter of 2019, down from $566,000 in the second quarter of 2018 primarily due to the decrease in death benefits described above. Other non-interest income was $407,000 in the second quarter of 2019, up from $281,000 in the second quarter of 2018.
“All of our non-interest income business lines are continuing to positively contribute to our earnings,” said Hileman. “Insurance commissions and mortgage banking had good growth compared to the second quarter of last year, which more than offset the results from other lines. Total non-interest income, excluding BOLI death benefits, increased 3.5% over the second quarter of 2018.”
Non-Interest Expenses up from Second Quarter of 2018
Total non-interest expense was $24.2 million in the second quarter of 2019, an increase from $22.7 million in the second quarter of 2018. Compensation and benefits increased to $14.4 million in the second quarter of 2019, compared to $12.9 million in the second quarter of 2018. The increase in compensation and benefits from a year ago is mainly due to additions to staff to support growth strategies, merit increases, and higher medical benefit costs. Occupancy, FDIC premiums, financial institution taxes, data processing and intangibles amortization increased to $5.7 million in the second quarter of 2019, up from $5.2 million in the second quarter of 2018. Other non-interest expenses of $4.2 million in the second quarter of 2019 was down from $4.6 million in the second quarter of 2018.

Accruing troubled debt restructured loans were $10.3 million at June 30, 2019, compared with $15.8 million at June 30, 2018.

“We are very pleased with the decrease in our non-performing assets and improvements in our asset quality ratios this quarter,” said Hileman. “Non-performing assets at June 30, 2019, declined 24% from last year and now represents only 0.47% of assets. However, we seek further improvements in asset quality throughout the remainder of the year.”
