MILLINGTON, N.J., Jan. 30, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MSB Financial Corp. (NASDAQ: MSBF) (the “Company”), parent company of Millington Bank, reported today the results of its operations for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2019.
The Company reported net income of $1.3 million, or $0.25 per diluted common share, for the three months ended December 31, 2019, compared to net income of $1.3 million, or $0.24 per diluted common share, for the three months ended December 31, 2018. Net income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 was $4.1 million, or $0.80 per diluted common share, compared to net income of $4.8 million, or $0.90 per diluted common share, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018. The twelve months ended December 31, 2019 were impacted by approximately $862,000 in additional professional expenses year over year in connection with the first audit of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. As the Company previously disclosed, in connection with the audit, management and outside auditors identified certain material weaknesses in internal control. While none of these material weaknesses resulted in any misstatement or material change to the reported results, they did cause the scope of the audit and consequently the related expense to increase significantly. Adjusting for the expense associated with the change in procedures, net income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 would have been $4.7 million or $0.92 per diluted share.
Highlights for the quarter:
- Return on average assets was 0.86% for the three months ended December 31, 2019 compared to 0.87% for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and return on average equity was 7.71% for the three months ended December 31, 2019 compared to 7.20% for the three months ended December 31, 2018.
- Net interest margin decreased six basis points to 3.16% for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 from 3.22% for the quarter ended December 31, 2018. Contributing to the decrease in net interest margin was higher interest expense on deposits.
- The efficiency ratio, which is calculated by dividing non-interest expense by the sum of net interest income and non-interest income, was 64.50% for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 as compared to 62.51% for the quarter ended December 31, 2018.
- Non-performing assets represented 0.52% of total assets at December 31, 2019 compared with 0.71% at December 31, 2018. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total non-performing loans was 184.11% at December 31, 2019 compared to 136.83% at December 31, 2018.
- The Company’s balance sheet at December 31, 2019 reflected an increase in total assets of $8.6 million compared to December 31, 2018, due to increases in interest earning demand deposits with banks and net loans receivable.
- The effective tax rate decreased to 26.2% for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 compared to 28.1% for the quarter ended December 31, 2018. The decrease in tax rate was due to the BOLI death benefit received during the fourth quarter.

Net Interest Income
Total interest income for the three months ended December 31, 2019 increased $98,000 to $6.1 million, compared to $6.0 million for the same three month period in 2018. Interest income increased in the quarter ended December 31, 2019 compared to the comparable period in 2018, as a result of a mixture of higher loan volume and interest rate increases year over year. Total interest expense increased by $167,000, or 10.8%, to $1.7 million, for the three months ended December 31, 2019 compared to $1.5 million for the same period in 2018 due to increases in interest rates and deposit volume partially offset by a lower volume of borrowings during the 2019 period.
Net interest income for the three months ended December 31, 2019 decreased $69,000, or 1.55% to $4.4 million, compared to $4.5 million for the same three month period in 2018. The change for the three months ended December 31, 2019 was primarily the result of higher interest expense on deposits. The annualized net interest spread was 2.92% and 2.98% for the three months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. For the quarter ended December 31, 2019, the Company's annualized net interest margin decreased to 3.16% compared to 3.22% for the corresponding three-month period in 2018.
Total interest income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019, increased $1.3 million, or 5.18%, to $24.6 million compared to $23.3 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018, as average earning assets increased $7.8 million year over year. In addition, the average interest earned on such assets increased 16 basis points. Total interest expense increased by $1.6 million, or 29.49%, to $7.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to the 2018 year ended, as average interest bearing liabilities increased $5.7 million year over year and the average cost of such liabilities increased 33 basis points.
Net interest income decreased $382,000, or 2.1%, to $17.6 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019, compared to $17.9 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018. Net interest spread and net interest margin for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019, decreased 17 and 11 basis points, respectively, to 2.91% and 3.17%, compared to 3.08% and 3.28% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018. Net interest income and net interest margin decreased as the Company's deposit pricing became more competitive year over year.
Provision for Loan Losses
The loan loss provision for the three months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 was zero. The loan loss provision for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 was zero compared to $240,000 for the same period in 2018. The decrease in the level of provision for loan loss primarily reflects lower loan growth in the current period in addition to the improvement of other credit metrics year over year.
Non-Interest Income and Non-Interest Expense
Non-interest income for the three months ended December 31, 2019 was $381,000, as compared to $198,000 for the same period in 2018. Non-interest income increased primarily due to a $171,000 death benefit recorded during the quarter. Non-interest expense, which consists of salaries and employee benefits, occupancy expense, professional services and other non-interest expenses totaled $3.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 compared to $2.9 million the same period in 2018.
Non-interest income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 was $974,000, as compared to $800,000 for the same period in 2018. Non-interest income increased primarily due to a $171,000 BOLI death benefit recorded during the fourth quarter. Non-interest expense totaled $12.8 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019, as compared to $11.9 million for the same period in 2018. The increase in non-interest expense was primarily related to an increase in professional services expense.

The effective tax rate decreased to 26.2% for the quarter ended December 31, 2019, compared to 28.1% for the quarter ended December 31, 2018. The decrease in tax rate was due to the BOLI death benefit received during the quarter.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This release references adjusted net income, which is a non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) financial measure. Adjusted net income is derived from GAAP net income less the $862,000 in additional expenses associated with the expanded audit scope and identification of material weaknesses and tax effected at a rate of 31%. We believe the presentation of adjusted net income is appropriate as it better enables an investor to analyze the performance of our core business year over year without the impact of unusual items.
The following tables reconcile adjusted net income to net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share to diluted earnings per share:
| Twelve months ended December 31, | |||||||
