Nashville Lender Announces Semi-Annual Dividend Payment
NASHVILLE, Tenn., Oct. 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Today InsCorp (OTCQX: IBTN) reported a third quarter net profit of $2,311,000 or, $0.80 per share, increasing year-to-date profits to $6,137,000, or $2.13 per share. Quarterly profits compared favorably to the prior quarter, increasing $0.18 cents, or 29% over the second quarter of 2023. A variety of factors contributed to the growth in earnings, including: an increase in net interest margin; quarterly growth in loan fee income; a modest reversal of loan loss reserve provision; and on-going contributions from hedging activities reducing the impact of increased funding costs. "We were pleased to demonstrate both balance sheet stability and operating income growth during this period of market volatility and industry uncertainty," said Jim Rieniets, President and CEO of INSBANK. "Our team remains focused on things we can control, including acquiring new customers, administering credit in a prudent fashion, and employing technology to better serve clients," Rieniets continued. Total assets as of September 30 were $813,465,000 consistent with the prior quarter, and a 12.3% increase over the prior year same period. During the quarter non-interest bearing deposits increased $1,629,000 or 8% on an annualized basis, while interest-bearing deposits were virtually unchanged. The mix of interest-bearing deposits continued to shift in favor of certificates of deposit, though that trend was slowing toward the end of the quarter.
Net interest income for the quarter totaled $6,590,000, increasing $356,000 over the most recent quarter. Year-to-date net interest income of $18,949,000 represented a 7.3% increase over the same period for the prior year. The cost of interest bearing deposits increased 38 basis points during the quarter to 3.81%, while the yield on earnings assets was 6.35%. Operating income, excluding gains and losses on hedging activities, was $9,667,000 on a year-to-date basis, which was an increase of $1,264,000 over the prior year. Net interest margin was 3.36% on a year-to-date basis, comparing to 3.44% for the prior year. "A commercial and private banking business model like INSBANK's is going to front-load deposit costs relative to some of our peers, but it also lends itself to greater loan re-pricing," said Jim Rieniets. "While we expect continued increases in deposit costs over the next couple of quarters, the relative change will be moderating, and should be mitigated by re-pricing loans projected during 2024," Rieniets continued.
While lending activity progressed during the quarter with over $26 million in loan commitments originated, outstanding balances reduced slightly as of quarter-end due to pay-offs. As the Nashville real estate market remains stable, most of the loan payoffs were on real estate secured loans. Measures of asset quality remain very strong for the company, as past due loans as of September 30 were 0.03%, while non-performing assets totaled just 0.22%. There were no charge-offs during the quarter, and the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses was $9,164,000, or 1.36% of total loans outstanding.
Measures of liquidity risk remain healthy. At quarter-end, on-balance sheet liquidity was $90 million, which was consistent with the prior quarter. Estimated uninsured deposits were 20%, with the combination of balance sheet liquidity and $114 million in reciprocal deposit capacity providing ample 'at-risk' mitigation strategies.
Tangible book value increased $0.47 during the quarter to $23.46 as of September 30. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income was ($802,000), or less than 1% of bank-level capital of $91,103,000. Tier 1 risk-based capital was 11.7%, while total risk-based capital equaled 12.9%. On a consolidated basis, tangible common equity was 8.3%.
The company's board of directors also recently approved the payment of a semi-annual dividend. Shareholders of record on November 17, 2023, will receive a $0.17 dividend per share payable on December 08, 2023. "In the current environment, we seek to allocate our company's earnings in a way that optimizes shareholder value," said Mike Qualls, Chairman of InsCorp. "In addition to dividend payments, capital is available for supporting continued growth as well as previously authorized stock repurchases," Qualls continued.
