CLARKSTON, Mich, April 26, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Clarkston Financial Corporation (“Corporation”) (OTCBB:CKFC) – (News), the holding company for Clarkston State Bank (“Bank”), today reported a net income of $369,000 or $0.11 per share for the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to net income of $195,000 or $0.06 per share for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The increase in income is related to an increase in loan interest income and decrease in operating expenses.
J. Grant Smith, CEO, said, “Our first quarter was very good with prudent loan growth, operating expense control and modest deposit growth. We are right on target with our performance metrics and goals for the first quarter. As we move forward into the second quarter we expect our operating performance to be even better. Our team is working to increase our yield on our loan portfolio as interest rates rise in an effort to maintain the excellent net interest margin which was 4.07% for the first quarter. The efficiency ratio at the Bank for the first quarter was 64.7% and we expect the ratio to improve as we move forward through the second and third quarters.”
Operating Results
The Corporation’s net interest income increased to $1,666,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 compared to $1,551,000 for the same period ended March 31, 2016, an increase of $115,000 or 7.41%. The increase is directly attributable to the growth within the loan portfolio. The net interest margin of the Bank continues to hold steady at 4.07%. However, the net interest margin is lower than the first quarter of 2016 where the net interest margin was 4.29%.
Noninterest income increased in the first quarter of 2017. The quarter ended at $170,000 compared to $139,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, an increase of $31,000 or 22.30%. This increase was largely driven by gains associated with the sale of SBA loans and deposit account fees. Noninterest expense decreased, ending the first quarter 2017 at $1,232,000 compared to $1,368,000 for the same period ended March 31, 2016, a decrease of $136,000 or 9.94%.
