  • Tangible book value(1) per share was up 7.7% to $19.42 per share
  • Total loans increased 11.2% to $1.11 billion

  • Allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans was 104.2%, compared to 68.1% for the same period last year
  • Equity to assets increased slightly to 10.5%

Thomas G. Caldwell, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated: “We continue to focus on protecting our customers and employees, while helping our communities respond to the unprecedented challenges created by the COVID-19 pandemic.  After temporarily restricting walk-in transactions in our bank lobbies in late March, all our branches reopened for lobby banking during the second quarter.  We have implemented safeguards to ensure we are doing our part to protect the health and well-being of our communities.  This includes requiring all employees to wear masks, limiting the number of customers allowed in our branches at one time, encouraging customers to social distance, installing partitions to limit exposure, offering special lobby hours for at-risk customers, and allowing employees to work from home.  I am extremely pleased with how our team and customers have responded to the operational adjustments we have made because of the pandemic.”

Mr. Caldwell continued, “At the same time we were adapting the Bank to operate safely throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, we quickly implemented our Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) process. During the second quarter, we successfully secured $142.7 million for 1,343 small businesses throughout Ohio and protected over 12,000 jobs.  The PPP process has driven significant loan and deposit growth during the quarter, and we are currently adjusting our focus to help customers qualify for forgiveness as permitted under the program.  I am encouraged that approximately 47% of PPP applicants booked were to small businesses without a prior banking relationship demonstrating our ability to serve our communities and the need for local and responsive financial relationships.” 

“For the second quarter, net interest income increased 4.4% reflecting the proactive adjustments we made to increase the yield on investment securities and reduce our cost of funds.  In addition, we were able to offset the operational and financial challenges caused by the COVID-19 crisis and the low rate environment.  Our book value increased 6.7% from the prior year period to a record of $22.09 per share, and noninterest income increased 15.1% to a quarterly record of $1.5 million. While the COVID-19 crisis continues to evolve, we remain dedicated to managing items under our control and maximizing shareholder value by profitably serving our Northeast and Central Ohio communities,” concluded Mr. Caldwell.  

Income Statement
For the 2020 first half, net interest income increased 1.3% to $20.8 million, compared to $20.5 million for the same period last year.  Year-to-date, the net interest margin was 3.56%, compared to 3.67% for the same period last year.  Net interest income for the 2020 second quarter was $10.7 million, compared to $10.3 million for the 2019 second quarter.  The 4.4% increase in net interest income for the 2020 second quarter was largely a result of a 29.6% reduction in interest expense.  The net interest margin for the 2020 second quarter was 3.49%, compared to 3.65% for the same period of 2019. 

For the 2020 first half, noninterest income was $2.6 million, compared to $2.4 million for the same period last year.  Noninterest income for the 2020 second quarter was $1.5 million, compared to $1.3 million for the same period last year. 

For the 2020 first half, noninterest expense decreased 0.3% to $14.9 million, compared to $15.0 million for the same period last year.  Operating costs in the 2020 second quarter increased 2.8% to $7.7 million from $7.5 million for the 2019 second quarter. 

Donald L. Stacy, Chief Financial Officer stated, “We continue to prudently increase our allowance for loan losses and took a $1.0 million provision in the quarter, in addition to the $2.7 million provision incurred during the first quarter.  As a result, our allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans was 104.2% at June 30, 2020, compared to 68.1% at June 30, 2019.  We continue working on providing temporary relief to our customers and have modified 362 loans.  We continue to believe our asset quality was strong heading into the crisis, and nonperforming assets are down 3.0% from the prior year period, while year-to-date charge-offs have declined 37.1%.”

“As benchmark rates have declined, we have quickly reduced our funding costs and our cost of funds have improved from 1.29% at June 30, 2019 to 0.83% at June 30, 2020.  In addition, we continue to focus on proactively controlling expenses and second quarter noninterest expenses were up less than 3.0% and expenses are down slightly through the first six months of the year.  We believe our focus on asset quality, liquidity, and profitability provides us with the flexibility to navigate the current economic challenges associated with the COVID-19 crisis, while providing local, dedicated and responsive financial services to our communities.”

Net income for the 2020 first half ended June 30, 2020, was $4.0 million, or $0.62 per diluted share, compared to $6.3 million, or $0.97 per diluted share for the same period last year.  The decline in net income for the first half ended June 30, 2020 was primarily due to a $3.4 million increase in the year-to-date provision for loan losses as a result of the COVID-19 crisis.  Net income for the 2020 second quarter ended June 30, 2020, was $3.0 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, compared to $3.3 million, or $0.50 per diluted share for the same period last year.  The 2020 second quarter provision for loan losses increased $0.9 million, from the prior year period.

Total deposits at June 30, 2020, were $1.16 billion, compared to $1.05 billion at June 30, 2019.  The 10.2% increase in deposits was driven by PPP deposits and pandemic uncertainty.  The investment portfolio, which is entirely classified as available for sale, was $112.5 million June 30, 2020, compared with $98.8 million at June 30, 2019.

Asset Quality
