DUNMORE, Pa, July 29, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — First National Community Bancorp, Inc. (OTCQX:FNCB), the parent company of Dunmore-based FNCB Bank (the “Bank”), announced net income for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was $1.6 million, or $0.10 per basic and diluted share. Net income for the comparable period of 2015 was $0.8 million, or $0.05 per basic and diluted share. The $0.8 million, or 98.4%, improvement in second quarter earnings reflected increases in net interest income and non-interest income, partially offset by higher provisions for loan and lease losses, income taxes and an increase in non-interest expense. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $2.8 million, or $0.17 per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $4.3 million, or $0.26 per basic and diluted share, for the same period of 2015. Annualized return on average assets was 0.60% and 0.51%, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to 0.34% and 0.89%, for the respective periods of 2015. Annualized return on average equity was 7.12% and 6.15%, respectively, for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2016, compared to 5.89% and 15.84%, respectively, for the comparable periods in 2015. FNCB paid holders of its common stock dividends of $0.02 for the second quarter of 2016, totaling $0.04 per share for the year-to-date period of 2016. FNCB did not pay a dividend during the first six months of 2015.

Effective June 30, 2016, the Bank, formerly known as First National Community Bank, completed a charter conversion from a national bank to a Pennsylvania state bank. The conversion followed receipt of required regulatory approvals from the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities. Effective with the conversion, the Bank changed its legal name to FNCB Bank. 

Performance Highlights:

  • Reinstated dividend reinvestment and stock purchase plan;
  • Year over year growth in net interest income of $2.5 million, or 20.2%;
  • 29 basis point improvement in tax-equivalent net interest margin comparing the second quarters of 2016 and 2015; and
  • 23.3% decrease in non-performing loans from prior quarter end; 52.4% decrease from one year ago.

“During the second quarter we were able to create meaningful value for our shareholders by reinstituting the dividend reinvestment and stock purchase plan,” stated Gerard A. Champi, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Through the plan, shareholders once again have the ability to increase their investment in FNCB at a discounted price,” mentioned Champi. “I am also happy to say that, during the second quarter, the Bank successfully completed a charter conversion from a national bank to a Pennsylvania state bank. In addition to reducing our annual regulatory assessment costs, becoming a state-chartered institution provides FNCB with greater flexibility to execute strategies for long-term growth and increase bank profitability going forward. The conversion was a seamless transition and had no change in FDIC deposit insurance coverage for our customers. We are committed to and will continue to offer and deliver the same high level products and quality services our customers are accustomed to receiving,” concluded Champi.

Summary Results for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2016

Net interest income before provision (credit) for loan and lease losses was $7.6 million for the second quarter, and $15.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $6.3 million and $12.6 million for the same periods in 2015. The improvement for both the quarter and year-to-date periods primarily reflected significant growth in earning assets, higher earning asset yields and reduced funding costs. Average earning assets grew $83.0 million, or 9.1%, and $83.9 million, or 9.2%, comparing the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Tax-equivalent earning asset yields improved 11 basis points for the second quarter and 7 basis points for the six months ended June 30, 2016 over the same periods of 2015. Comparing the three months and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, FNCB’s cost of funds decreased 23 basis points and 25 basis points, respectively. Causing the greatest impact in funding costs was a decrease in the cost of borrowed funds, which resulted from a modification of the interest rate on FNCB’s subordinated notes from 9.00% to 4.50% in mid-2015. The tax-equivalent net interest margin for second quarter 2016 was 3.14%, a 3 basis point improvement from the first quarter of 2016, and 29 basis points higher than the same prior year period.

Non-interest income totaled $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $1.5 million for the comparable period of 2015. The $0.6 million, or 35.5%, increase primarily reflected an increase in net gains on the sale of securities of $0.8 million, partially offset by a reduction due to a legal settlement of $0.2 million received in the second quarter of 2015. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, non-interest income totaled $3.4 million, a decrease of $1.6 million, or 31.0%, compared to $5.0 million for the same six months of 2015. The change resulted primarily from decreases in net gains on the sale of securities, legal settlements and other income of $1.3 million, $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively.  

For the three months ended June 30, 2016, non-interest expense totaled $7.0 million, an increase of $0.3 million, or 5.2%, from $6.7 million for the same three months of 2015. The increase in 2016 was due primarily to higher salaries and benefits expense of $0.4 million, which resulted from additions to staff and increases in health insurance costs. Also affecting non-interest expense were increases in regulatory assessments, expense of other real estate owned and Bank shares tax.  Expenses of other real estate owned included a valuation adjustment of $0.1 million on a Bank property that was previously held for expansion.  These increases were partially mitigated by decreases in occupancy expense and insurance expense. On a year-to-date basis, non-interest expense increased $0.3 million, or 2.7%, to $13.8 million in 2016 from $13.5 million in 2015.  The increase in the first half of 2016 as compared to the same period of 2015 was due primarily to increases in salaries and benefits expenses of $0.8 million and data processing expense of $0.1 million. These increases were partially offset by lower occupancy expense, regulatory assessments, and insurance expense.

Asset Quality

Total non-performing loans were $2.7 million at June 30, 2016, a decrease of $0.8 million, or 23.3%, from $3.6 million at March 31, 2016, and $1.0 million, or 27.7%, from December 31, 2015. The ratio of non-performing loans to total loans was 0.37% at June 30, 2016 compared to 0.49% at March 31, 2016 and 0.52% at December 31, 2015. (At March 31, 2016, the most recent data available, the FDIC average for commercial banks with assets between $1.0 billion and $3.0 billion was 0.81%.) The allowance for loan and lease losses as a percentage of gross loans was 1.17% at June 30, 2016, 1.19% at March 31, 2016 and 1.21% at the end of 2015. (The above described FDIC peer group average was 1.25% at March 31, 2016.)

Financial Condition

Total assets were relatively stable, decreasing $3.1 million, or 0.3%, to $1.088 billion at June 30, 2016 from $1.091 billion at December 31, 2015. The change in total assets primarily reflected an $8.4 million, or 3.3%, increase in available-for-sale securities, which was more than offset by reductions of $4.5 million in net deferred tax assets, $1.1 million in FHLB of Pittsburgh stock, $1.5 million in OREO and $3.4 million in cash and cash equivalents. Total deposits grew $14.3 million, or 1.7%, to $835.8 million at June 30, 2016 from $821.5 million at December 31, 2015. The deposit growth was used to repay $15.0 million in advances from the FHLB of Pittsburgh. In addition, on March 1, 2016, FNCB repaid in its entirety $10.8 million in accrued interest that it had previously been deferring on the subordinated debentures (“Notes”) for the period September 1, 2010 through May 31, 2015.

Total shareholders’ equity increased $9.3 million, or 10.8%, to $95.5 million at June 30, 2016 from $86.2 million at December 31, 2015. The capital improvement resulted primarily from a $7.0 million increase in accumulated other comprehensive income, which resulted from appreciation in the fair value of available-for-sale securities net of the tax impact of the appreciation, coupled with net income for the first six months of 2016 of $2.8 million.

At June 30, 2016, the Company’s total risk-based capital and Tier I leverage ratios were 12.00% and 7.31%, respectively. The respective ratios for the Bank at June 30, 2016 were 12.97% and 8.82%. The ratios well exceeded the 10.00% and 5.00% required to be well capitalized under the prompt corrective action provisions of the Basel III capital framework for U.S. banking organizations.
