United Bancorp, Inc. Reports Earnings of $469,000 for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2013
MARTINS FERRY, Ohio, July 29, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- United Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: UBCP), headquartered in Martins Ferry, Ohio reported net income of $469,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $731,000 for same three month period ended June 30, 2012. From a quarterly perspective, net income has increased for the fourth consecutive quarter and is up by approximately $4,000 on a linked quarter basis. Also on a linked quarter basis, the Company's diluted earnings per share were $0.09 for each of the last two quarterly ending periods.
Randall M. Greenwood, Senior Vice President, CFO and Treasurer remarked, "The Company's net income realized in the second quarter of 2013 generated an annualized 0.44% return on average assets ("ROA") and a 5.15% return on average equity ("ROE") compared to 0.70% ROA and 8.21% ROE for the three months ended June 30, 2012. On a linked quarter basis, the Company's ROA and ROE were up slightly. The Company's year over year numbers were impacted by the previously reported conservative posturing relating to the management of its investment portfolio due to the Government's ongoing zero rate monetary policy. The current Federal Reserve monetary policy now in its fifth year has made it extremely risky for a financial institution to generate a normalized historic return without taking on an excessive amount of interest rate risk. With the Federal Reserve's present monetary policy leading to higher yielding securities being called, the Company's six-month average investments declined $53.0 Million from June 30, 2012 to the same period in 2013, reducing the net interest margin to 3.59% as of June 30, 2013 compared to 3.94% for the period ended June 30, 2012. This decline in margin is attributed to the continued downward re-pricing of its assets in this continued low rate environment. As securities were called, the Company's liquidity was invested in short term, lower yielding investment alternatives such as Cash and Due from the Federal Reserve Bank which increased on a six month average balance comparison by $36.3 million from June 30, 2012 to June 30, 2013. To help offset the downward pressure on the margin, the Company continued its focus on putting funds to work in higher yielding quality loans. Gross loans were up $16.6 million on a year over year basis to a level of $296.1 million. During this same period, the Company's credit quality improved as non-accrual loans were down $340,000 to a level of $3.6 million and net loans charged off were down by over $673,000 to a level of $100,000. With this improvement in credit quality, the Company continued to provide a provision for loan losses which was $659,000 as June 30, 2013 compared to $501,000 as of June 30, 2012, an increase of $158,000. The provision for loan losses increased due to the credit uncertainly of several commercial relationships. This increased provision brought the total allowance for loan losses to total loans to a level of 1.10% and the total allowance for loan losses to non-accrual loans to 92%, both respectively increasing from levels of 0.95% and 68% as of June 30, 2012. With this continued improving trend of the overall credit quality, the Company projects a decrease of the provision for loan losses which will have a positive impact on future earnings. On the liability side of the balance sheet, the Company continued to see a positive return on its strategy of attracting lower cost funding while allowing higher cost funding to run off. Low cost funding consisting of interest bearing demand and savings deposits increased by over $22.0 million from June 30, 2012 to June 30, 2013 as higher costing time deposit balances decreased by over $28.3 million during this same period. A positive effect of attracting a higher level of transaction accounts was the Company's service charges on deposit accounts increased by more than $94,000 on a linked quarter basis from March to June, 2013. It is projected this trend will continue even with the continuing Government mandated regulations relating to the Dodd-Frank Act, which have had a limiting effect on the level of revenue realized per account, being more fully implemented. This has been offset by the Company's focus on attracting more transaction account customers and having a higher overall level of transaction accounts that can generate fee based income. From year to date 2012 to year to date 2013, non-interest expense increased on a year over year basis by $327,000 or 5.11%. This increase is attributed to several factors including: higher incentives paid to loan officers relating to the increase in loan originations; ever-increasing health care and benefits costs; and the acquiring and opening of the Company's new Retail Banking and Training Center located on the west-side of the highly appealing St. Clairsville, Ohio." Greenwood concluded, "With this new facility which opened during the second quarter of 2013, the significant liquid position in cash-type investments that can be invested in future periods at higher yields as market conditions improve, and the potential of a lower loan loss provision, we are projecting a continuing improvement in our profitability."
James W. Everson, Chairman and CEO stated, "Our mantra in our earnings releases for the past three quarters has centered on the fact we are managing our balance sheet causing 'short term pain for long term gain'. As stated above, our conservative risk management of keeping our liquidity in lower yielding short term investments has stifled our recent earnings reports, yet continues to be prudent with the anticipation of interest rate increases as the Federal Reserve eases out of its current monetary policy. At present, we continue to aggressively make loans in our banking communities and resist seeking a higher return by stretching maturities on our investment portfolio until we have a clearer definition of the Federal Reserve's direction. By investing in longer maturities today, we would expose our shareholders to losses in capital and earnings when interest rates normalize. We continue to be satisfied to cover our overhead, provide for a proper amount of capital and reserves and make our dividend payment which is generous in today's market with a current yield of 3.9%. We project our strategy will be proven right as inflation and higher interest rates return, bringing our shareholders the gain we are postured to earn."
