CIB Marine Bancshares, Inc. Announces First Quarter 2019 Results


BROOKFIELD, Wis., April 12, 2019 (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 2019. Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, was $0.6 million or $0.03 basic and $0.02 diluted earnings per share, compared to $0.7 million or $0.04 basic and $0.02 diluted earnings per share for the same period of 2018. Pre-tax income for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, was $0.9 million compared to $1.0 million for the same period of 2018.

Select highlights for the quarter include:

  • Tangible book value per share and stated book value per share at March 31, 2019, were $2.90 and $2.53 per share of common stock, respectively, compared to $2.82 and $2.45, respectively, at December 31, 2018. The increase reflects income for the quarter and a reduction in accumulated other comprehensive loss due to improved available for sale security values as a result of lower mid- and long-term interest rates. 
  • Income before taxes for subsidiary CIBM Bank was $0.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, compared to $1.1 million in the same period of 2018. Comparing the two periods, there was a $0.6 million decrease in non-interest income due primarily to lower mortgage production resulting in a $0.4 million decline in net mortgage banking revenues, and reduced SBA originations resulting in a $0.1 million decline in gain on sale of assets. There was likewise a reduction in non-interest expenses of $0.3 million due to a decline in compensation related mainly to the reduction in residential and SBA loan production.
  • Non-performing assets, restructured loans, and loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing to total assets was 1.51% at March 31, 2019, versus 1.45% at December 31, 2018, and 0.85% at March 31, 2018. The increase from one year prior is primarily the result of one loan placed on non-accrual during the fourth quarter of 2018. CIB Marine’s allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.61% and had net recoveries of loans previously charged of $76,000 for the quarter ending March 31, 2019, compared to 1.55% and net charge-offs of $244,000 during the same period ending in 2018.

Mr. J. Brian Chaffin, President and CEO of CIBM, commented, “Net interest income was up for the first quarter compared to the first quarter of last year and, although it was behind compared to the fourth quarter of 2018, our net interest margin improved slightly over that same period. Our net interest margin has been challenged with rising cost of funds and some of our unique lower spread higher quality assets, like the SBA repo, even though the latter contributes favorably to the bottom line.”

He added, “Our corporate banking team opened the year with stronger than budgeted originations despite a $5 million reduction of high-quality, short-term commercial paper in the loan portfolio. Our non-interest income business lines had a softer first quarter as our SBA group felt the effects of the government shut-down and our mortgage group was impacted by seasonal factors. Although we did not record any gains on the sale of SBA loans in the first quarter of 2019, the pipeline has grown and, coupled with lower mortgage rates, a seasonal turn in housing, and our welcoming of several new originators to the mortgage team, we are planning on a stronger second quarter for non-interest income.

“CIBM Bank and the industry as a whole have seen a significant upturn in their cost of funds and, in particular, at the margin for new and repricing deposits used to help fund the strong loan growth seen in our markets the last several years. CIBM continues to focus on its deposit products and services and plans to enhance them in 2019 through the addition of person-to-person and person-to-business electronic money transfer capabilities, and reciprocal deposit services (i.e., a transparent and convenient way of providing broader FDIC insurance coverage for larger balance clients). To support developing new deposit customers, we have upgraded our website, unified all markets and divisions under the name CIBM Bank, focused on ways to make banking with us easier and more convenient, and established a full-time marketing director position to ensure more consistent and proactive marketing activities in the future.

“Lastly, our shareholder meeting is just around the corner. We plan on providing an update on our banking activities and our preferred stock activities at the meeting, which will be held on April 25th in Champaign, Illinois. We hope to see many of you there.”
