CHICOPEE, Mass., July 22, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Chicopee Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ:CBNK), the holding company for Chicopee Savings Bank (the “Bank”), announced the unaudited results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Company also announced on July 22, 2016, that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.09 per share. Stockholders of record on August 5, 2016 will receive the cash dividend on or about August 19, 2016.

Net Income for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2016
The Company reported a decrease of $521,000, or 70.2%, in net income for the three months ended June 30, 2016, to $221,000, or $0.04 diluted earnings per share, compared to $742,000, or $0.15 diluted earnings per share, for the three months ended June 30, 2015. Earnings for the three months ended June 30, 2016 were impacted by $775,000 in merger-related expenses relating to the pending merger with Westfield Financial, Inc. (“WFD”). Excluding non-deductible merger-related expenses of $775,000, or $0.16 per diluted share, the Company would have reported pre-tax income of $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to pre-tax income of $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 – an increase of $346,000, or 33.9%.

The decrease in net income of $521,000, or 70.2%, for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2015, was primarily due to the increase in non-interest expense of $814,000, or 17.1%, and an increase of $92,000, or 33.1%, in income tax expense. The increase in income tax expense was due to the higher level of taxable income resulting from the non-deductible merger-related expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2016. The increase in non-interest expense was partially offset by the $256,000, or 4.9%, increase in net interest income, the decrease in the provision for loan losses of $86,000, or 41.5%, and an increase in non-interest income of $43,000, or 5.7%.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
Net interest income increased $256,000, or 4.9%, from $5.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 to $5.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The increase in net interest income was due to the $283,000, or 4.5%, increase in interest and dividend income, partially offset by the increase in interest expense of $27,000, or 2.6%, over the same period in 2015. The increase in interest income of $283,000, or 4.5%, was primarily due to the $38.4 million, or 6.9% increase in average loans outstanding from $559.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 to $597.4 million, for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The increase in interest expense was due to the $47,000, or 6.7%, increase in interest expense on deposits, partially offset by the $20,000, or 6.3%, decrease in interest expense on Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances.

The net interest margin decreased one basis point from 3.52% for the three months ended June 30, 2015 to 3.51% for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The interest rate spread decreased three basis points from 3.32% for the three months ended June 30, 2015 to 3.29% for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The average yield on assets decreased three basis points from 4.18% for the three months ended June 30, 2015 to 4.15% for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The average cost of funds remained unchanged at 0.86% due to the continuation of low market interest rates, which allowed the Company to renew or replace maturing time deposits at lower costs. The average cost of time deposits decreased three basis points from 1.22% for the three months ended June 30, 2015 to 1.19% for the three months ended June 30, 2016.

Average interest-earning assets increased $32.2 million, or 5.1%, from $625.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 to $657.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The increase in average interest-earning assets was due to the $38.4 million, or 6.9%, increase in average loans, partially offset by the $4.6 million, or 16.1%, decrease in in other interest-earning assets and the $1.6 million, or 4.2%, decrease in average investments. The average balance of demand deposit accounts, an interest free source of funds, increased $19.1 million, or 20.0%, for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2015.

Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses decreased $86,000, or 41.5%, to $121,000, for the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $207,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015. Non-performing loans increased $718,000, or 11.4%, from $6.3 million, or 1.11% of total loans, at June 30, 2015, to $7.0 million, or 1.16% of total loans, at June 30, 2016. Total non-performing assets increased $719,000, or 9.7%, from $7.4 million, or 1.10% of total assets, at June 30, 2015, to $8.1 million, or 1.15% of total assets, at June 30, 2016. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans increased from 0.94% at June 30, 2015 to 0.95% at June 30, 2016. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of non-performing loans decreased from 85.5% at June 30, 2015 to 81.6% at June 30, 2016.

Non-Interest Income
For the three months ended June 30, 2016, non-interest income of $791,000 increased $43,000, or 5.7%, from $748,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The increase in non-interest income was due to the $49,000, or 8.4%, increase in income from service charges, fees and commissions, a gain on the sale of other real estate owned (“OREO”) of $20,000, partially offset by a $17,000, or 22.1%, decrease in income from loan sales and servicing, net, and a decrease of $9,000, or 10.3%, in income from bank owned life insurance (BOLI).

Non-Interest Expense
Non-interest expense of $5.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 increased $814,000, or 17.1%, compared to the same three months in 2015. The increase was primarily due to merger-related expenses of $775,000 due to the pending merger with WFD. Merger-related expenses include investment banking costs associated with a fairness opinion and legal fees for the drafting of the definitive merger agreement and regulatory approvals. Excluding the merger-related expenses, non-interest expense would have increased $39,000, or 0.8%, from $4.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 to $4.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016. For the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2015, salaries and benefits of $2.7 million increased $130,000, or 5.1%, data processing increased $16,000, or 3.7%, advertising expense increased $16,000, or 11.1%, and occupancy expense increased $14,000, or 3.8%. These increases were partially offset by the decrease in professional fees of $74,000, or 36.6%, a decrease in foreclosure related expenses of $16,000, or 17.0%, a decrease in furniture and equipment of $13,000, or 7.7%, a decrease in FDIC insurance expense of $15,000, or 12.7%, and a decrease in other non-interest expense of $18,000, or 2.9%.

For the three months ended June 30, 2016, the Company’s efficiency ratio, calculated using net interest income under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), of 88.7% increased from 79.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The non-GAAP efficiency ratio for the three months ended June 30, 2016, which is calculated using tax equivalent net interest income, was 85.8% compared to 76.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2015.  Excluding the impact of pre-tax merger-related expenses, the non-GAAP efficiency ratio for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was 73.9%.

Income Tax
The majority of the Company’s merger-related expenses are non-deductible, which had the consequence of increasing its effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2016 to 62.6%, compared to 27.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2015.

Net Income for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2016
The Company reported a decrease of $138,000, or 13.1%, in net income for the six months ended June 30, 2016, to $918,000, or $0.19 diluted earnings per share, compared to $1.1 million, or $0.21 diluted earnings per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2015. Earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2016 were impacted by $775,000 in merger-related expenses relating to the pending merger with WFD. Excluding non-deductible merger-related expenses of $775,000, or $0.16 per diluted share, the Company would have reported pre-tax income of $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to pre-tax income of $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 – an increase of $938,000, or 66.2%.

The decrease in net income of $138,000, or 13.1%, for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2015, was primarily due to the $987,000, or 10.2%, increase in non-interest expense and an increase of $301,000, or 83.6%, in income tax expense, partially offset by the increase in net interest income of $672,000, or 6.5%, a decrease in provision for loan losses of $431,000, or 71.0%, and the $47,000, or 3.4%, increase in non-interest income.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
The increase in net interest income of $672,000, or 6.5%, from $10.3 million for the six months June 30, 2015 to $10.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was due to the $756,000, or 6.2%, increase in interest and dividend income, partially offset by the $84,000, or 4.2%, increase in interest expense. The increase in interest and dividend income was primarily due to the $44.2 million, or 8.1%, increase in average loans for the six months ended June 30, 2016 over the comparable period in 2015.

Average interest earning assets for the six months ended June 30, 2016, increased $36.1 million, or 5.9%, from the same period in 2015. The increase in average earning assets was due to the $44.2 million, or 8.1%, increase in average net loans, partially offset by the decrease in other interest earning assets of $6.9 million, or 22.0% and the decrease in average investments of $1.2 million, or 3.2%. The yield on interest earning assets decreased one basis point from 4.17%, for the six months ended June 30, 2015, to 4.16% for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The decrease in the yield on interest-earning assets was primarily due to the eight basis point decrease in the loan yield, partially offset by the 23 basis point increase in the tax-effected investment yield. The cost of funds remained unchanged at 0.86% and was driven primarily by the one basis point decrease in the cost of deposits and the ten basis point increase in the cost of FHLB advances. The cost of certificates of deposits decreased four basis points from 1.23% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 to 1.19% for the six months ended June 30, 2016. Deposit costs decreased due to the continuation of low market interest rates, which allowed the Company to renew or replace maturing time deposits at lower costs. The net interest margin for the six months ended June 30, 2016 remained unchanged from 3.52% for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The interest rate spread decreased one basis point from 3.31% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 to 3.30% for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The average balance of demand deposit accounts, an interest free source of funds, increased $15.1 million, or 15.9%, for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2015.

For the six months ended June 30, 2016, net charge-offs decreased $86,000, or 64.2%, to $48,000, or 0.01% of total average loans, from $134,000, or 0.02% of total average loans, for the six months ended June 30, 2015.

Non-Interest Income
Non-interest income increased $47,000, or 3.4%, from $1.4 million, or 0.43% of average assets, for the six months ended June 30, 2015 to $1.4 million, or 0.42% of average assets, for the six months ended June 30, 2016. Income from service charges, fees and commissions increased $123,000, or 11.2%, income from loan sales and servicing, net, increased $19,000, or 16.4%, and gains on other real estate owned (OREO) increased $21,000, or 100.0%. These improvements were partially offset by OREO write-downs of $104,000 and a decrease in income from BOLI of $12,000, or 6.9%.

Non-Interest Expense
Non-interest expense of $10.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 increased $987,000, or 10.2%, compared to the same six months in 2015. The increase was primarily due to merger-related expenses of $775,000 due to the pending merger with WFD. Merger-related expenses include investment banking costs associated with a fairness opinion and legal fees for the drafting of the definitive merger agreement and regulatory approvals. Excluding the merger-related expenses, non-interest expense would have increased $212,000, or 2.2%, from $9.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 to $9.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company’s GAAP efficiency ratio of 85.8% increased from 82.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The non-GAAP efficiency ratio for the six months ended June 30, 2016, which is calculated using tax equivalent net interest income, was 82.2% compared to 79.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2015.  Excluding the impact of pre-tax merger-related expenses, the non-GAAP efficiency ratio for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was 76.2%.

Income Tax
The majority of the Company’s merger-related expenses are non-deductible, which had the consequence of increasing its effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2016 to 41.9%, compared to 25.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2015.

Balance Sheet
Total assets increased $23.2 million, or 3.4%, from $678.6 million at December 31, 2015 to $701.8 million at June 30, 2016. The increase in total assets was primarily due to the increase in net loans of $18.3 million, or 3.2%, and the increase in cash and cash equivalents of $6.1 million, or 21.5%, partially offset by the decrease in investments of $658,000, or 2.0%.

Loans
The $18.3 million, or 3.2%, increase in net loans was due to an increase of $9.8 million, or 3.4%, in commercial real estate loans, an increase of $6.4 million, or 5.0%, in one- to four-family real estate loans, an increase of $2.3 million, or 5.8%, in home equity loans, an increase of $395,000, or 0.7%, in construction loans, and an increase of $130,000, or 5.2%, in consumer loans. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $603,000, or 0.8%, in commercial and industrial loans. In accordance with the Company’s asset/liability management strategy and in an effort to reduce interest rate risk, the Company continues to sell fixed rate, low coupon residential real estate loans to the secondary market. The Company currently services $79.3 million in loans sold to the secondary market. In order to service our customers, the servicing rights will continue to be retained on all loans written and sold in the secondary market.            

Asset Quality
At June 30, 2016, the allowance for loan losses was $5.7 million, or 0.95% of total loans, an increase of $128,000, or 2.3%, from December 31, 2015. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of non-performing loans decreased from 87.8% at December 31, 2015 to 81.6% at June 30, 2016. Management reviews the level of the allowance for loan losses on a monthly basis and establishes the provision for loan losses based on loan volume, types of lending, delinquency levels, loss experience, estimated collateral values, current economic conditions and other related factors. Management reviews trends in historical loss rates and projected loss rates, as well as economic factors on a quarterly basis. The quarterly review also includes assessing the specific allowance needs for impaired loans.

Asset quality continues to be the top focus for management and we continue to proactively work aggressively to resolve problem loans as they arise. Non-performing assets increased $264,000, or 3.4%, from $7.8 million, or 1.15% of total assets, at December 31, 2015 to $8.1 million, or 1.15% of total assets at June 30, 2016.
