CIB Marine Bancshares, Inc. Announces First Quarter 2020 Results


BROOKFIELD, Wis., April 24, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CIB Marine Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company” or “CIBM”) (OTCQB: CIBH), the holding company of CIBM Bank, announced its unaudited results of operations and financial condition for the first quarter of 2020. Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, was $0.8 million or $0.04 basic and $0.02 diluted earnings per share, compared to $0.6 million or $0.03 basic and $0.02 diluted earnings per share for the same period of 2019. Pre-tax income for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, was $1.1 million compared to $0.9 million for the same period of 2019.

The increase in net income was the result of a few key factors:

  • The three major lines of revenue were up in the first quarter of 2020 versus the same period in the prior year. Lower rates generated increased mortgage volumes, which drove net mortgage banking revenues up $1.2 million over the first quarter of 2019; gains on sale of SBA 7(a) loans were up $0.4 million due to higher loan production in the first quarter; and net interest income was up $0.1 million and the net interest margin was up 10 basis points compared to the first quarter of 2019, due to a reduction in the cost of funds.
  • The provision for loan losses was up $0.4 million and our write-downs in other real estate owned were up $0.3 million for the three months ending March 31, 2020, versus the same period in 2019. The increase in provisions was primarily due to COVID-19 related deterioration of economic conditions in the first quarter of 2020, net of other factors. Further deterioration is also expected in the foreseeable future.
  • Non-interest expense was up $0.8 million for the three months ending March 31, 2020, compared to the same period of 2019, due primarily to higher compensation related to the increase in mortgage and SBA loan volumes.
  • Non-performing assets, restructured loans, and loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing to total assets and nonaccrual loans to total loans were 1.24% and 0.97%, respectively, at March 31, 2020, down from 1.35% and 1.09%, respectively, at December 31, 2019, and 1.51% and 1.29%, respectively, at March 31, 2019. The improvements during the first quarter of 2020 were related to certain loan level improvements, although credit quality is expected to deteriorate in the foreseeable future due to the economic impact of COVID-19.

Mr. J. Brian Chaffin, President and CEO of CIBM, commented, “Early in January 2020, CIBM Bank embarked on a major project designed to improve its operating performance over the coming years. This project involved nearly 40% of our employees and was focused on key revenue improvement areas as well as customer experience, products, and other matters. By the end of March, CIBM Bank was deep into our COVID-19 pandemic response – spending significant time coordinating, communicating and implementing our many internal and external responses to COVID-19. Much of our time has been spent evaluating and preparing for significant changes in operations, products, and delivery due to emerging social distancing norms, shelter in home orders by states, and the many federal support programs for individuals, businesses, and the financial sector. Our investors can be proud of the dedication and commitment CIBM Bank employees have exhibited through this period.”

He added, “Income for the first quarter of 2020 was up versus the prior year and would have been stronger by nearly $1.0 million before tax, except for some COVID-19 related charges in our mortgage pipeline due to market dislocations and disruptions in the mortgage markets, and the provision for loan losses due primarily to the near-term decline in economic conditions. Economic forecasts for the future vary widely, but one thing seems to be clear: we are experiencing a historic decline in employment and private sector economic activity due to society’s response to COVID-19. We are preparing for a significant economic downturn and credit shock in our national, regional, and local economies, and it is our aim to be a source of banking strength for our clients during these times. 

“By being flexible and agile in these unprecedented times, we remain a trusted advisor for our customers. In just the few months since this pandemic began, we have assisted our clients in navigating this new world so that they can benefit from assistance from both the bank and various government programs, including the approval of more than 213 100% U.S. government guaranteed SBA Paycheck Protection Program loans, totaling over $38 million; six months of principal and interest payments to be made by the SBA on SBA 7(a) loans; and internal loan deferral programs.”

He concluded, “Our shareholder meeting will proceed as scheduled on April 30, 2020. Given the current ‘stay at home’ directives, we encourage shareholders to listen to the meeting via teleconference, as outlined in the Proxy Statement.” 

CIB Marine Bancshares, Inc. is the holding company for CIBM Bank, which operates eleven banking offices and five mortgage loan offices in Illinois, Wisconsin and Indiana.
