CARMICHAELS, Pa., July 27, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CB Financial Services, Inc. (“CB” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ:CBFV), the holding company of Community Bank (the “Bank”), today announced net income of $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, a decrease of $302,000, or 13.5%. Earnings per share (basic and diluted) decreased $0.07, or 12.7%, to $0.48 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $0.55 for the three months ended June 30, 2015. Net income decreased $552,000, or 12.2%, to $4.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $4.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. Earnings per share (basic and diluted) decreased $0.13, or 11.7%, to $0.98 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $1.11 for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The quarterly results were largely impacted by a decrease of $436,000 in pre-tax income, primarily related to increases in non-interest expense.   

“We are pleased to report on our second quarter results.  The Company had another strong quarter despite the challenges that community banks face in our local economy,” said Barron P. McCune, Jr., Vice Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer.  “The local coal industry has been curtailed and low natural gas prices have chilled the development of the Marcellus and Utica in our markets.  This, combined with its impact on loan demand and with regular increases in expenses, generated a return on average assets of 0.94% and 8.75% on average equity for the second quarter. While results have been moderately affected by these factors, we already detect a turn in the local economy and we expect to continue our strong performance.”  In April, the Bank enhanced its position on the American Banker’s Top 200 list of performing community banks in the nation based on our three year average return on equity. “This designation is a direct result of the Bank’s commitment to its customers and to yielding a strong shareholder return on investment,” said McCune.

STATEMENT OF INCOME REVIEW

Second Quarter Results

Net Interest Income.  Net interest income decreased $20,000, or 0.3%, to $7.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $7.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015.

Interest and dividend income increased $11,000, or 0.1%, to $8.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $7.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. Despite a decrease of $989,000 in the average balance, interest income on taxable securities increased $82,000 due to an increase of 64 basis points in yield from new purchases and from higher yields on the remaining securities in the portfolio. Interest income on loans decreased $62,000 due to a decrease in average loans outstanding of $4.4 million primarily due to mortgage and installment loan payoffs. Interest income on securities exempt from federal tax decreased $8,000 due to deploying proceeds from security calls and maturities into purchasing securities exempt from federal tax in the current period. There was a decrease of $2.8 million in the average balance on securities exempt from federal tax, yet there was an increase of 15 basis points in yield as a result of purchasing securities with higher earning yields. 

Interest expense increased $31,000, or 4.6%, to $702,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $671,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015. Interest expense on other borrowed funds increased $65,000 primarily due to an increase in long-term borrowings resulting from the Bank laddering $13.0 million of FHLB borrowings in late 2015 to mitigate the Company’s interest rate risk in the event of rising interest rates. Interest expense on deposits decreased $34,000 due to a decrease in average interest-bearing deposits of $15.1 million primarily due to deposit runoff. Decreases in average deposit balances and the Bank holding rates constant throughout 2016 resulted in the average cost of interest-bearing deposits decreasing 1 basis point, primarily related to the repricing of maturing certificates of deposit to lower rates.

Provision for Loan Losses.  The provision for loan losses was $300,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $375,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015. Net charge-offs for the three months ended June 30, 2016 were $83,000, which included $120,000 of charge-offs on automobile loans, compared to $167,000 of net charge-offs for the three months ended June 30, 2015. Management analyzes the loan portfolio on a quarterly basis to determine the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and the need for additional provisions for loan losses and determined the current quarter provision was necessary due to an increase in special mention loans, quarterly charge-offs and commercial and indirect auto loan growth.

Noninterest Income.  Noninterest income increased $62,000, or 3.4% to $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, primarily due to an increase in the net gains on the sales of residential mortgage loans of $213,000. The increase in gains was primarily due to an increase in the number of loans originated and subsequently sold to the FHLB as part of the Mortgage Partnership Finance® (“MPF®”) program. The MPF® program enables member financial institutions to offer competitive interest rates for fixed-rate mortgage loans without assuming any of the interest rate risk associated with a long-term asset. This was compared to the prior period net losses on the sales of loans of $28,000 that the Company incurred mainly due to approximately $38.2 million of residential loans that were acquired in the merger with FedFirst Financial Corporation (the “merger”). In addition, net gains on the sales of investments increased $58,000 due to the sale of equity securities. These sales were transacted to recognize capital gains that will be offset by a capital loss carry forward deferred tax asset that was acquired in the merger. These increases were partially offset by a $194,000 decrease in insurance commissions from Exchange Underwriters due to reduced contingency fees received in the current period, which are commissions that are contingent upon several factors including, but not limited to, eligible written premiums, earned premiums, incurred losses and stop loss charges. Service fees on deposit accounts decreased $19,000 primarily due to a first-year incentive for a check card brand change and an increase in check card fees from deposit accounts acquired in the merger recognized in the prior period.

Noninterest Expense.  Noninterest expense increased $553,000, or 10.0%, to $6.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $5.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. Other real estate owned expense increased $272,000 primarily due to income from the sales of other real estate owned properties in the prior period only. Other noninterest expense increased $114,000 primarily due to current period expenses related to non-employee stock options and restricted stock awards, and an increase in various miscellaneous expenses, such as supplies, charitable contributions and telephone expense. Salaries and employee benefits increased $98,000 primarily due to employee stock options and restricted stock awards expense as well as normal salary increases. Occupancy and equipment increased $11,000 and $33,000, respectively, primarily due to the opening of the Uniontown Business Center in the current period. PA shares tax, which is calculated based on the Bank’s stockholders’ equity, increased $38,000 due to an anticipated rate increase by the State of Pennsylvania. As of July 1, 2016, the PA shares tax rate of 0.95% has been ratified by the state legislature, becoming effective for tax years starting January 1, 2017. Advertising decreased $32,000 related to the termination of a cooperative marketing agreement at Exchange Underwriters, partially offset by advertising initiatives to promote the Bank.

Income Tax Expense.  Income taxes decreased $134,000 to $790,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $924,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was 29.0% compared to 29.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The decrease in income taxes was due to a decrease of $436,000 in net income before income tax expense. The decrease in the effective tax rate was related to an increase in tax-exempt yield in the current period.

Year-to-Date Results

Net Interest Income.  Net interest income decreased $56,000, or 0.4%, to $14.7 million and remained constant for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015.

Interest and dividend income decreased $41,000, or 0.3%, to $16.1 million and remained constant for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015. Other interest and dividend income decreased $121,000 primarily due to a decrease in FHLB stock dividends which included the payment of a special dividend in the first quarter of 2015 of $56,000. As a result of receiving no special dividend in the current period and a decrease in short-term borrowings compared to the prior period, the Bank was required to hold less FHLB stock. Interest income on loans decreased $46,000 due to a decrease in average loans outstanding of $3.6 million primarily due to loan payoffs for mortgage and installment loans. Interest income on securities exempt from federal tax decreased $44,000 due to deploying proceeds from security calls and maturities into loan funding and liquidity needs the current period. There was a decrease of $3.3 million in the average balance on securities exempt from federal tax, yet there was an increase of 1 basis point in yield as a result of purchasing securities with higher earning yields. Despite a decrease of $3.3 million in average balance, interest income on taxable securities increased $164,000 due to an increase of 70 basis points in yield from new purchases and from higher yields on the remaining securities in the portfolio.

Interest expense increased $15,000, or 1.1%, to $1.4 million to remain constant for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015. Non deposit interest expense on other borrowed funds increased $102,000, and an increase  in average other borrowed funds of $3.1 million. This was primarily due to the Bank laddering $15.0 million in short-term borrowings in the first quarter of 2015 and $13.0 million in short-term borrowings in late 2015 into a series of long-term FHLB borrowings to mitigate the Company’s interest rate risk in the event of rising interest rates. Interest expense on deposits decreased $71,000 due to a decrease in average interest-bearing deposits of $8.5 million primarily due to deposit runoff. The average cost of interest-bearing deposits decreased 2 basis points, primarily related to the repricing of maturing certificates of deposit to lower rates. In addition, short-term borrowings decreased $16,000 in the current period due to the laddering of FHLB long-term borrowings.

Provision for Loan Losses.  The provision for loan losses was $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $675,000 provision for loan losses in the six months ended June 30, 2015. Net charge-offs for the six months ended June 30, 2016 were $450,000, which included $310,000 of charge-offs on automobile loans, compared to net charge-offs of $184,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015. Management analyzes the loan portfolio on a quarterly basis to determine the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and the need for additional provisions for loan losses and determined the current provision was necessary due to an increase in special mention loans, current period charge-offs and commercial and indirect auto loan growth.

Noninterest Income.  Noninterest income increased $83,000, or 2.3%, to $3.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $3.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 primarily due to an increase in the net gains on sales of residential mortgage loans of $266,000. The increase in gains was primarily due to an increase in the number of loans originated and subsequently sold to the FHLB as part of the MPF® programs. This offsets prior period losses on the sales of $38.2 million of residential loans that were acquired in the merger. In addition, net gains on the sales of investments increased $58,000 due to the sale of equity securities. These sales were transacted to recognize capital gains that will be offset by a capital loss carry forward deferred tax asset that was acquired in the merger. Other miscellaneous income increased $26,000 primarily due to an increase in the servicing income received from mortgage loans sold to the FHLB as part of the MPF® program and a decline in amortization on mortgage servicing rights related to loans sold to the FHLB. These increases were partially offset by a $253,000 decrease in insurance commissions from Exchange Underwriters due to reduced contingency fees received in the current period. Service fees on deposit accounts decreased $10,000 primarily due to a first-year incentive for a check card brand change and check card fees from deposit accounts acquired in the merger recognized in the prior period.

Noninterest Expense.  Noninterest expense increased $320,000, or 2.8%, to $11.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $11.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. Salaries and employee benefits increased $319,000, primarily due to additional employees as well as normal salary increases and employee stock options and restricted stock awards expense. Other noninterest expense increased $251,000 primarily due to an increase in various miscellaneous expenses, such as non-employee stock options and restricted stock awards, supplies, telephone, other losses attributable to debit card fraud losses and charitable contributions. Occupancy and equipment increased $14,000 and $50,000, respectively, primarily due to the opening of the Uniontown Business Center in the current period. PA shares tax, which is calculated based on the Bank’s stockholders’ equity, increased $57,000 due to the above mentioned rate increase by the State of Pennsylvania. Other real estate owned income was $535,000 in the current period compared to $242,000 in the prior period resulting in a decrease of $293,000 in expense. This change is primarily due to the $566,000 pre-tax gain recognized due to the foreclosure procedures on two commercial real estate loans that moved into other real estate owned properties in the first quarter of 2016. Advertising decreased $92,000 related to the termination of a cooperative marketing agreement at Exchange Underwriters, partially offset by advertising initiatives to promote the Bank.

Income Tax Expense.  Income taxes decreased $216,000 to $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was 29.3% compared to 29.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The decrease in income taxes was due to a decrease of $768,000 in net income before income tax expense. The increase in the effective tax rate was due to a decrease in tax-exempt income.

STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL CONDITION REVIEW

Assets.  Total assets decreased $2.7 million, or 0.3%, to $828.0 million at June 30, 2016 compared to $830.7 million at December 31, 2015.

Investment securities classified as available-for-sale decreased $1.4 million, or 1.5%, to $94.4 million at June 30, 2016 compared to $95.9 million at December 31, 2015. This decrease was primarily the result of calls and maturities of U.S. government agencies and obligations of states and political subdivisions that were utilized to pay down short-term borrowings and were partially reinvested in U.S. government agencies and obligations of states and political subdivisions.

Loans, net, decreased $5.1 million, or 0.8%, to $671.8 million at June 30, 2016 compared to $676.9 million at December 31, 2015 primarily due to $7.4 million of net paydowns on construction loans, $3.8 million on commercial real estate loans and $3.7 million on residential mortgage loans, partially offset by increases of $5.3 million in consumer loans (mainly indirect auto loans), $3.7 million in commercial and industrial loans and $1.6 million in other loans. The net loan payoffs were utilized to fund loan originations and deposit runoff during the current period.

Premises and equipment, net, increased $2.2 million, 21.2%, to $12.5 million at June 30, 2016 compared to $10.3 million at December 31, 2015. This was mainly due to an other real estate owned property being reclassified into fixed assets in process. This property will undergo an extensive renovation and will be placed into Bank operations.

Liabilities.  Total liabilities decreased $5.3 million, or 0.7%, to $738.5 million at June 30, 2016 compared to $743.8 million at December 31, 2015.

Total deposits decreased $4.0 million, or 0.6%, to $675.3 million at June 30, 2016 compared to $679.3 million at December 31, 2015. There were decreases of $11.4 million in time deposits, $959,000 in NOW accounts and $832,000 in brokered deposits, partially offset by increases of $5.5 million in money market accounts, $2.5 million in demand deposits and $1.1 million in savings accounts. The decrease in deposit balances is partly attributable to maturing time deposits seeking a higher renewal rate outside of the Bank in an ever low competitive interest rate environment and a decline in oil and gas industry-related deposits. In addition, school district and municipal deposits decreased due to utilization of funds as a result of the prior year impact of the State of Pennsylvania budget impasse. Due to the low interest rate environment, the Bank has been selective on offering promotional interest rates and has concentrated its efforts on increasing noninterest-bearing accounts by building strong customer relationships.

Short-term borrowings decreased $918,000, or 2.8%, to $31.5 million at June 30, 2016 compared to $32.4 million at December 31, 2015. At June 30, 2016, short-term borrowings were comprised of $25.5 million of securities sold under agreements to repurchase compared to $23.1 million at December 31, 2015. The increase is related to business deposit customers whose funds, above designated target balances, are transferred into an overnight interest-earning investment account by purchasing securities from the Bank’s investment portfolio under an agreement to repurchase. In addition, other short-term borrowings decreased by $3.4 million, to $6.0 million at June 30, 2016 compared to $9.4 million at December 31, 2015. In the prior year, a portion of FHLB short-term borrowings were replaced with $28.0 million in long-term borrowings with laddered maturities designed to mitigate the Company’s interest rate risk in the event of rising interest rates. Funds generated from security maturities and calls and loans sales in the current period were utilized for loan funding and liquidity needs. As a result of prior year activity, the weighted average interest rate on long-term borrowings remained constant at 1.80%.

Stockholders’ Equity.  Stockholders’ equity increased $2.6 million, or 3.0%, to $89.5 million at June 30, 2016 compared to $86.9 million at December 31, 2015. During the period, net income was $4.0 million and the Company paid $1.8 million in dividends to stockholders.

AVERAGE BALANCES AND YIELDS

The following table presents information regarding average balances of assets and liabilities, the total dollar amounts of interest income and dividends from average interest-earning assets, the total dollar amounts of interest expense on average interest-bearing liabilities, and the resulting average yields and costs. Average balances are derived from daily balances over the periods indicated. The yields set forth below include the effect of deferred fees, discounts, and premiums that are amortized or accreted to interest income or interest expense. Tax-equivalent yield adjustments have been made for tax exempt loan and securities income utilizing a marginal federal tax rate of 34%. As such, amounts will not agree to income as reported in the consolidated financial statements. Average balances for loans are net of the allowance for loan losses, but include nonaccrual loans. The yields and costs for the periods indicated are derived by dividing income or expense by the average balances of assets or liabilities, respectively, for the periods presented and are expressed in annualized rates.
