Peoples Bancorp Reports Earnings


AUBURN, Ind., April 16, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Peoples Bancorp (OTCQB:PBNI) reported net income for the second quarter ended March 31, 2013, of $565,042 versus the same quarter last year income of $687,335. Second quarter earnings were $0.24 per share compared to $0.28 per share for the same period one year ago.

Maurice F. Winkler, President of Peoples Bancorp, indicated: "Although net interest margin was down from the same quarter a year ago, we did see a small increase from the previous quarter. Obviously, we hope that is the beginning of a new trend. Non-interest income was down because of fewer gains being taken on the sale of investment securities and mortgage loans compared to the quarter that ended March 31, 2012. Loan balances were down from the previous quarter end, but are still up significantly from our previous fiscal year end. Non-interest expenses decreased largely due to lower expenses associated with real estate owned and lower compensation costs."

Peoples reported assets on March 31, 2013, of $470,991,440, a decrease of $13.3 million from September 30, 2012.
