Glen Burnie Bancorp Announces Second Quarter 2019 Results


GLEN BURNIE, Md., July 30, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Glen Burnie Bancorp (“Bancorp”) (NASDAQ: GLBZ), the bank holding company for The Bank of Glen Burnie (“Bank”), announced today net income of $319,000, or $0.11 per basic and diluted common share for the three-month period ended June 30, 2019, as compared to net income of $478,000, or $0.17 per basic and diluted common share for the three-month period ended June 30, 2018.

Bancorp reported net income of $454,000, or $0.16 per basic and diluted common share for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, compared to $733,000, or $0.26 per basic and diluted common share for the same period in 2018.  At June 30, 2019, Bancorp had total assets of $377.6 million.  Bancorp, the oldest independent commercial bank in Anne Arundel County, will pay its 108th consecutive quarterly dividend on August 2, 2019.

“The core fundamentals of our Company remain strong as reflected in our financial results for the period.  We continue building on our momentum by seizing available opportunities despite a competitive and challenging economic environment.  Although the interest rate environment has been challenging in recent months, we have managed our balance sheet to provide a stable margin.  Net interest income in the second quarter of 2019 grew by $71,000 or 2.3%, as compared to the second quarter of 2018. The yield on our loan portfolio increased 0.09% from 4.22% to 4.31%, and funding costs decreased by $40,000 or 8.2%, from $490,000 to $450,000,” stated John D. Long, President and CEO.  “We continue to invest in technology and infrastructure improvements that enable us to remain competitive in the rapidly changing technological environment.  Our strong fundamental performance was somewhat offset by the cost of these investments.  However, we maintained our relentless focus on expense reduction in other areas as we work to drive efficiencies through the Bank and improve our profitability while delivering the outstanding customer service that differentiates our Bank in our local markets.”

“Looking forward, we continue to seek opportunities to further reduce our cost structure as we work to achieve an efficiency ratio more in-line with our peers.  In addition, a favorable credit environment combined with our outstanding credit quality, disciplined loan pricing and a beneficial balance sheet structure, allowed us to reduce the provision for loan losses by $151,000 or 42.5%, for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the same period last year.  Headquartered in the dynamic Northern Anne Arundel County market, we believe our Bank is well positioned with excellent asset quality and capital levels, a stable net interest margin, and an experienced and seasoned executive team.  We remain deeply committed to serving the financial needs of the community through the development of new loan and deposit products.”

Highlights for the First Six Months of 2019

Bancorp continued to focus on organic growth opportunities in the first six months of 2019, as average loan balances increased $20.0 million or 7.21%, from the same period in 2018, although loan originations have been at a slower pace for most of 2019.  Bancorp has strong liquidity and capital positions that provide ample capacity for future growth, along with the Bank’s total regulatory capital to risk weighted assets of 12.91% at June 30, 2019, as compared to 12.78% for the same period of 2018.

Return on average assets for the three-month period ended June 30, 2019 was 0.34%, as compared to 0.49% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2018.  Return on average equity for the three-month period ended June 30, 2019 was 3.70%, as compared to 5.78% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2018.  Lower gains on redemption of bank-owned life insurance policies (“BOLI”) and higher income tax expense primarily drove the lower returns.

The book value per share of Bancorp’s common stock was $12.37 at June 30, 2019, as compared to $11.95 per share at June 30, 2018.

At June 30, 2019, the Bank remained above all “well-capitalized” regulatory requirement levels.  The Bank’s tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was approximately 12.05% at June 30, 2019, as compared to 11.94% at June 30, 2018.  Liquidity remained strong due to managed cash and cash equivalents, borrowing lines with the FHLB of Atlanta, the Federal Reserve and correspondent banks, and the size and composition of the bond portfolio.

Balance Sheet Review

Total assets were $377.6 million at June 30, 2019, a decrease of $23.9 million or 5.95%, from $401.5 million at June 30, 2018.  Investment securities were $61.2 million at June 30, 2019, a decrease of $26.1 million or 29.9%, from $87.3 million at June 30, 2018.  Proceeds from the Bank’s sale of investment securities in 2019 were used to offset the decrease in deposits (see below) and fund the Bank’s increase in loan originations during 2018.  Loans, net of deferred fees and costs, were $291.2 million at June 30, 2019, an increase of $1.8 million or 0.62%, from $289.4 million at June 30, 2018.  Real estate acquired through foreclosure was $0.7 million at June 30, 2019, an increase of $0.6 million from June 30, 2018 primarily due to the foreclosure of a single loan.  Net deferred tax assets decreased $1.7 million and accrued taxes receivable increased $1.2 million from June 30, 2018 to June 30, 2019 primarily due to the elimination of the alternative minimum tax under the Tax Act.  Other assets decreased $1.9 million due to the $1.3 million collection of an insurance receivable and decrease of $0.9 million in the fair value of swap derivative positions.

Total deposits were $320.2 million at June 30, 2019, a decrease of $21.6 million or 6.32%, from $341.8 million at June 30, 2018.  Interest-bearing deposits were $213.0 million at June 30, 2019, a decrease of $20.4 million or 8.74%, from $233.4 million at June 30, 2018.  Total borrowings were $20.0 million at June 30, 2019, a decrease of $5.0 million or 20.0%, from $25.0 million at June 30, 2018.

Stockholders’ equity was $34.9 million at June 30, 2019, an increase of $1.4 million or 4.18%, from $33.5 million at June 30, 2018.  The decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss associated with net unrealized losses on the available for sale bond portfolio and increase in retained earnings and stock issuances under the dividend reinvestment program, offset by a decrease in unrealized gains on interest rate swap contracts drove the overall increase in stockholders’ equity.

Nonperforming assets, which consist of nonaccrual loans, troubled debt restructurings, accruing loans past due 90 days or more, and other real estate owned (“OREO”), represented 1.45% of total assets at June 30, 2019, as compared to 1.05% for the same period of 2018.  The increases in nonaccrual loans and OREO drove the 0.40% increase in nonperforming assets as percentage of total assets from June 30, 2018 to 2019.

Review of Financial Results

For the three-month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018

Net income for the three-month period ended June 30, 2019 was $319,000, as compared to $478,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2018.

Net interest income for the three-month period ended June 30, 2019 totaled $3.12 million, as compared to $3.05 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2018.  Average loan balances increased $14.3 million or 5.09% to $295.4 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2019, as compared to $281.1 million for the same period of 2018.

Net interest margin for the three-month period ended June 30, 2019 was 3.41%, as compared to 3.21% for the same period of 2018.  Lower average balances and higher average yields on interest-earning assets combined with lower average interest-bearing balances and cost of funds were the primary drivers of year-over-year results.  The average balance on interest-earning assets decreased $14.4 million while the yield increased 0.18% from 3.73% to 3.91%, when comparing the three-month periods ending June 30, 2018 and 2019.  The average balance on interest-bearing funds decreased $15.6 million and the cost of funds decreased 0.02%, when comparing the three-month periods ending June 30, 2018 and 2019.

The provision for loan losses for the three-month period ended June 30, 2019 was $30,000, as compared to a negative provision of $5,000 for the same period of 2018.  The increase was driven by the difference between $468,000 of lower required reserves and $433,000 of lower net charge offs.  As a result, the allowance for loan losses was $2.46 million at June 30, 2019, representing 0.84% of total loans, as compared to $2.28 million, or 0.79% of total loans at June 30, 2018 and is consistent with our improved credit quality.

Noninterest income for the three-month period ended June 30, 2019 was $282,000, as compared to $386,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2018, a decrease of $104,000 or 26.94%.  $101,000 lower gains on the redemption of BOLI policies primarily drove the decrease.

For the three-month period ended June 30, 2019, noninterest expense was $2.99 million, as compared to $3.01 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2018, a decrease of $21,000 or 0.70%.  The primary contributors to the $21,000 decrease, when compared to the three-month period ended June 30, 2018 were decreases in data processing and item processing services and loan collection costs, offset by increases in salary and employee benefits costs, legal, accounting and other professional fees and occupancy and equipment expenses including investments in technology and infrastructure improvements.

For the six-month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018

Net income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019 was $454,000, as compared to net income of $733,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2018.

Net interest income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019 totaled $6.26 million, as compared to $6.05 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2018.  Average loan balances increased $20.0 million or 7.21%, to $297.5 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, as compared to $277.5 million for the same period of 2018.

Net interest margin for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019 was 3.36%, as compared to 3.22% for the same period of 2018.  Higher yields on interest-earning assets offset by higher cost of funds were the primary drivers of year-over-year results, as the yield on interest-earning assets increased 0.18% from 3.72% to 3.90% and the cost of funds increased 0.05% from 0.53% to 0.58% for the six-month periods ending June 30, 2018 and 2019, respectively.

The provision for loan losses for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019 was $204,000, as compared to $355,000 for the same period of 2018.  The decrease for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018 primarily reflects lower net charge offs.  As a result, the allowance for loan losses was $2.46 million at June 30, 2019, representing 0.84% of total loans, as compared to $2.28 million, or 0.79% of total loans for the same period of 2018.

Noninterest income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019 was $564,000, as compared to $872,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2018.  The results for the first six-month of 2018 include gains on redemptions of BOLI policies of $308,000.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, noninterest expense was $6.07 million, as compared to $5.85 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2018.  The primary contributors to the $221,000 increase, when compared to the six-month period ended June 30, 2018 were increases in salary and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment expenses, legal, accounting and other professional fees, litigation settlement costs, and bank robbery and fraud losses, partially offset by decreases in data processing and item processing services and loan collection costs including investments in technology and infrastructure improvements.
