Salisbury Bancorp, Inc. Reports Results for Second Quarter 2019; Declares 28 Cent Dividend

  • Record Net Income Increased to $0.96 per Share for Second Quarter, Up 41% Versus a Year Ago
  • Non-performing Assets Decreased to 0.49% of Total Assets, Down From 0.64% Last Quarter
  • Wealth Assets Under Administration Increased to $713 Million, Up $45 Million from One Year Ago  

LAKEVILLE, Conn., July 26, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Salisbury Bancorp, Inc. (“Salisbury”), (NASDAQ Capital Market: “SAL”), the holding company for Salisbury Bank and Trust Company (the “Bank”), announced results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2019.

Net income allocated to common shareholders was $2.7 million, or $0.96 per common share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 (second quarter 2019), compared with $2.4 million, or $0.87 per common share, for the first quarter ended March 31, 2019 (first quarter 2019), and $1.9 million, or $0.68 per common share, for the second quarter ended June 30, 2018 (second quarter 2018).

Salisbury’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Richard J. Cantele, Jr., stated, “We reported record earnings in a quarter that reflected declining interest rates and persistent competition for loans and deposits. The mixed economic outlook, increased probability for interest rate reductions and renewed geo-political tensions contributed to flat overall loan growth compared with last quarter. Despite these challenges, our asset quality remains strong and our non-performing assets continue to decline. In this uncertain environment we remain intently focused on upholding our vigorous underwriting standards and enhancing profitability while we continue to provide outstanding service to our customers and earn the continued support of our investors.”

Net-Interest Income

Tax equivalent net interest income of $8.5 million for the second quarter 2019 decreased $76 thousand, or 0.9%, versus first quarter 2019, and increased $331 thousand, or 4.1%, versus second quarter 2018. Net interest income for the second quarter 2019 included a charge of $140 thousand for the write-off of unamortized premiums on purchased loans which paid off during the quarter. Average earning assets increased $11.6 million versus second quarter 2018, and increased $74.9 million versus second quarter 2018. Average total interest bearing deposits increased $27.6 million versus first quarter 2019 and increased $95.4 million versus second quarter 2018. The tax equivalent net interest margin for the second quarter 2019 was 3.19% compared with 3.28% for the first quarter 2019 and 3.31% for the second quarter 2018. The write-off of the unamortized premiums reduced second quarter tax equivalent net interest margin by approximately 0.05%.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income of $2.5 million for second quarter 2019 increased $521 thousand versus first quarter 2019 and increased $490 thousand versus second quarter 2018. Non-interest income for the second quarter 2019 included realized gains of $281 thousand on the sale of available-for-sale securities compared with realized losses of $9 thousand in the first quarter 2019 and realized gains of $17 thousand in the second quarter 2018.

Trust and Wealth Advisory fees increased $138 thousand versus first quarter 2019 and increased $95 thousand versus second quarter 2018. The quarter-over-quarter increase primarily reflected higher asset-based fees and seasonal tax preparation fees. The year-over-year increase primarily reflected higher asset-based fees. Assets under administration were $713 million as of June 30, 2019 compared with $692 million at March 31, 2019 and $668 million as of June 30, 2018. The increase from the first quarter 2019 was primarily attributed to growth in discretionary assets. 

Service charges and fees increased $92 thousand versus first quarter 2019 and increased $120 thousand versus second quarter 2018. The increase from the first quarter 2019 and the second quarter 2018 reflected higher interchange and loan pre-payment fees. The increase from second quarter 2018 also reflected higher deposit fees.

Income from sales and servicing of mortgage loans was essentially unchanged versus first quarter 2019 and second quarter 2018. Mortgage loans of $0.3 million were sold during the second quarter 2019 compared with sales of $0.2 million for first quarter 2019. No mortgage loans were sold during the second quarter 2018.

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense of $7.4 million for second quarter 2019 increased $228 thousand versus first quarter 2019 and increased $22 thousand versus second quarter 2018. Non-interest expense for the second quarter 2019 included a loss of $270 thousand on the sale of an OREO property compared with losses of $52 thousand and $1 thousand in the first quarter 2019 and second quarter 2018, respectively.

Total compensation expense decreased $176 thousand versus first quarter 2019 and increased $93 thousand from second quarter 2018. The decrease from first quarter 2019 primarily reflected lower payroll taxes and benefits expense and higher deferred expenses related to loan originations. The increase from second quarter 2019 primarily reflected higher benefits expense and lower deferred expenses related to loan originations.

Premises and equipment expense increased $31 thousand versus first quarter 2019 and decreased $97 thousand versus second quarter 2018. The increase from the first quarter 2019 primarily reflected higher building and machine maintenance and repairs expense, partly offset by a seasonal decrease in utilities costs. The decline versus second quarter 2018 was primarily attributed to costs incurred in the prior year second quarter associated with the relocation and consolidation of the Newburgh and Fishkill, N.Y. branches into new locations.

Data processing expenses, which also include data communications, increased $68 thousand versus first quarter 2019 and increased $21 thousand versus second quarter 2018. The increase from the first quarter 2019 primarily reflected higher core system data processing charges and ATM network processing fees. The increase from second quarter 2018 primarily reflected higher core system data processing charges and ATM network processing fees, which were partly offset by lower data communications expenses.

Professional fees increased $48 thousand versus first quarter 2019, and decreased $28 thousand versus second quarter 2018. The increase from the first quarter 2019 primarily reflected higher legal, consultation and investment management expenses partly offset by lower audit fees. The decline from the second quarter 2018 reflected lower consultation fees partly offset by higher audit and legal costs. The second quarter 2018 included one-time legal and consultation costs of approximately $75 thousand related to the acquisition of the Fishkill, N.Y. branch from Orange Bank & Trust Company.

Loan related expenses decreased $51 thousand compared to first quarter 2019 and decreased $156 thousand versus second quarter 2018. The decrease over both comparable periods was primarily driven by lower OREO carrying costs and litigation expense. The decline versus second quarter 2018 also reflected lower delinquent taxes paid on properties in the foreclosure process and other taxes.

The effective income tax rates for second quarter 2019, first quarter 2019 and second quarter 2018 were 18.1%, 17.8% and 14.4%, respectively.

Loans

Gross loans receivable decreased $0.4 million during second quarter 2019 to $919.5 million at June 30, 2019, compared with $919.9 million at March 31, 2019, and increased $39.3 million from $880.2 million at June 30, 2018. Balances by loan type for the comparative periods were as follows:

  Loan Type   Q2 2019   Q1 2019     2Q 2018  
  Residential Real Estate   $ 419,811   $ 418,077     $ 407,123  
  Commercial Real Estate     298,121     300,626       283,939  
  Commercial & Industrial     163,487     167,503       150,911  
  Farm Land     3,714     4,155       4,432  
  Vacant Land     8,050     8,164       8,847  
  Municipal     19,782     15,702       18,608  
  Consumer     5,166     4,377       4,867  
  Deferred Fees     1,329     1,333       1,451  
  Gross Loans Receivable   $ 919,460   $ 919,937     $ 880,178  

The ratio of gross loans to deposits for second quarter 2019 was 96.7% compared with 97.7% for first quarter 2019 and 98.1% for second quarter 2018.

Asset Quality

Asset quality continued to improve during the second quarter 2019. Non-performing assets decreased $1.7 million during second quarter 2019 to $5.5 million, or 0.49% of total assets at June 30, 2019, from $7.1 million, or 0.64% of total assets at March 31, 2019, and decreased $0.9 million from $6.4 million, or 0.58% of total assets, at June 30, 2018.

The amount of total impaired and potential problem loans decreased $0.7 million during the second quarter ended June 30, 2019 to $22.2 million (2.42% of gross loans receivable), compared to $22.9 million, or 2.49% of gross loans receivable at March 31, 2019, and decreased $1.1 million from $23.3 million, or 2.7% of gross loans receivable at June 30, 2018.  

Accruing loans receivable 30-to-89 days past due increased $0.2 million during second quarter 2019 to $2.5 million, or 0.27% of gross loans receivable, from $2.2 million, or 0.24% of gross loans receivable at March 31, 2019, and increased $1.0 million from $1.5 million, or 0.17% of gross loans receivable at June 30, 2018.

The allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2019 was $8.9 million compared with $8.8 million at March 31, 2019 and $7.4 million at June 30, 2018.

The provision for loan losses expense was $151 thousand for second quarter 2019 versus $294 thousand for first quarter 2019, and $467 thousand for second quarter 2018. The decrease in the provision from both comparable periods primarily reflected lower loan growth and lower net charge-offs. Net loan charge-offs were $15 thousand for the second quarter 2019, $38 thousand for first quarter 2019 and $144 thousand for the second quarter 2018. Reserve coverage, as measured by the ratio of the allowance for loan losses to gross loans, was 0.97% for the second quarter 2019, versus 0.95% for first quarter 2019 and 0.84% for second quarter 2018.

Salisbury endeavors to work constructively to resolve its non-performing loan issues with customers. Substantially all non-performing loans are collateralized with real estate and the repayment of such loans is largely dependent on the return of such loans to performing status or the liquidation of the underlying real estate collateral.

Deposits and Borrowings

Deposits were $950.7 million at June 30, 2019 compared with $942.0 million at March 31, 2019 and $897.5 million at June 30, 2018. Deposits at June 30, 2019 included brokered deposits, including CDARS one-way buys, of $52.7 million compared with $49.7 million at March 31, 2019 and $12.2 million at June 30, 2018. Average total deposits for the second quarter 2019 were $947.1 million compared with $918.8 million at March 31, 2018 and $847.8 million at June 30, 2018. Average total deposits for the second quarter 2019 included average brokered deposits of $56.4 million compared with $42.2 million for first quarter 2019 and $9.3 million for second quarter 2018.

FHLB advances decreased $14.9 million during the quarter to $32.8 million at June 30, 2019 and decreased $46.8 million from June 30, 2018.

Capital

Book value per common share increased $0.78 during the second quarter to $38.59 per share and increased $3.21 from the second quarter 2018. Tangible book value per common share increased $0.85 during second quarter 2019 to $33.28 and increased $3.40 from the second quarter 2018.

Shareholders’ equity increased $2.8 million in second quarter 2019 to $108.9 million at June 30, 2019 as net income of $2.7 million, unrealized gains in the AFS portfolio of $0.8 million and the issuance of restricted stock awards of $0.1 million was partly offset by common stock dividends paid of $0.8 million.  

The Bank’s regulatory capital ratios remain in compliance with regulatory “well capitalized” requirements. At June 30, 2019, the Bank’s Tier 1 leverage, total risk-based capital, and common equity tier 1 capital ratios were 9.10%, 12.57%, and 11.54%, respectively, compared with regulatory “well capitalized” minimums of 5.00%, 10.00%, and 6.5%, respectively.

Second Quarter 2019 Dividends on Common Shares
