CB Financial Services, Inc. Announces Fourth Quarter and 2019 Annual Financial Results

Record Annual Net Income Drives 88% Increase in EPS


WASHINGTON, Pa., Jan. 31, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CB Financial Services, Inc. (“CB” or the “Company”) (NASDAQGM: CBFV), the holding company of Community Bank (the “Bank”) and Exchange Underwriters, Inc., (“EU”) a wholly-owned insurance subsidiary of the Bank, today announced its fourth quarter and 2019 annual financial results.    

Quarterly Highlights

  • Net income for the three months ended December 31, 2019 was $4.7 million, compared to $2.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2018, an increase of $2.2 million, or 92.5%. Diluted earnings per share for the three months ended December 31, 2019 was $0.85 compared to $0.45 for the three months ended December 31, 2018, an increase of $0.40 per share or 90.0%. Return on average assets (annualized) reached 1.39% and 1.13%, respectively, in the last two quarters of 2019 in comparison to 0.75% for the three months ended December 31, 2018. Return on average equity (annualized) was 12.40% for the three months ended December 31, 2019 compared to 7.15% for the three months ended December 31, 2018.

  • Quarterly results for the three months ended December 31, 2019 were significantly impacted from the recognition of a one-time income tax benefit of $1.3 million related to the reversal of a valuation allowance (“VA”) for an alternative minimum tax (“AMT”) credit carryforward. This VA was established in 2018 associated with the uncertainty of the utilization of the Company’s deferred tax assets (“DTA”) from the AMT credit carryforward of a merged entity in connection with enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The Company has performed a continuing evaluation of its DTA VA on a quarterly basis and has concluded that, as of December 31, 2019, it is more likely than not that the Company will generate sufficient taxable income within the applicable carryforward periods to realize its net operating losses (“NOL”) and AMT credit carryforward DTA. This conclusion, and the resulting full reversal of the DTA VA, is based upon consideration of a number of factors, including the Company's current profitability, its forecast of future profitability, and evaluation of existing tax regulations related to NOLs and utilization of AMT credit carryforward.

  • Excluding the impact of this one-time income tax item, net income and diluted earnings per share would have been $3.4 million and $0.62, respectively, for the quarter ended December 31, 2019. In addition, return on average assets (annualized) and return on average equity (annualized) would have been 1.00% and 8.93%, respectively, for the quarter ended December 31, 2019.

  • Loan growth accelerated in the fourth quarter with total loans increasing $20.3 million for an annualized growth rate of 8.7%. Improved credit quality resulted in the nonperforming loans to total loans ratio decreasing 27 basis points to 0.57% compared to 0.84% at September 30, 2019. The full payoff of a $2.9 million nonperforming commercial real estate loan contributed to the improved quarter-over-quarter metric.

  • Net interest margin decreased 11 basis points to 3.57% for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 compared to 3.68% for the quarter ended December 31, 2018. Interest expense on deposits increased $300,000 due to an increase in average interest-bearing deposits of $40.0 million combined with a 11 basis point increase in average cost, driven primarily by the impact of special rates offered on time deposits with balances greater than $100,000, which increased average cost by 41 basis points. Interest income on loans for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 increased $416,000 due to a $31.9 million increase in average loans combined with the ability to maintain a consistent loan yield in a competitive environment.

  • Noninterest income increased $482,000, or 23.6%, to $2.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019, compared to $2.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2018. This was mainly attributed to organic growth in insurance commissions combined with a $96,000 increase in contingency fee income. Contingency fees also contributed to the $320,000 increase in insurance commissions for the three months ended December 31, 2019 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019. Contingency fees are commissions that are contingent upon several factors including, but not limited to, eligible written premiums, earned premiums, incurred losses, policy cancellations and stop loss charges.

  • From a noninterest expense perspective, salaries and employee benefits increased $247,000 to $5.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019 compared to $4.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2018. There was also an increase of $412,000 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019. The increase compared to both prior periods was primarily due to run-off claims from the self-funded health care plan and an increase in incentive-related compensation related to loan production. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) assessment expense decreased $180,000 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2018. The FDIC notified banks that its deposit insurance fund (“DIF”) reached the required minimum reserve ratio of 1.38% that permitted the FDIC to offset current bank assessments with prior credits from 2016 through 2018 earned by banks with less than $10 billion in assets. A total of $308,000 of credits were recognized in the third and fourth quarters of 2019. All DIF credits available to the Bank have been utilized.

Annual Highlights

  • Net income for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $14.3 million compared to $7.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, an increase of $7.3 million, or 103.2%. Diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $2.63 compared to $1.40 for the year ended December 31, 2018, an increase of $1.23 per share, or 87.8%. Return on average assets was 1.09% and return on average equity was 9.89% for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to 0.61% and 5.91%, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2018.

  • As noted in the Quarterly Highlights section, the annual results were impacted by the one-time income tax benefit of $1.3 million. Due to this one-time item, the effective tax rate decreased to 10.8% in the current period compared to 17.9% for the year ended December 31, 2018. Excluding the impact of the one-time income tax item, net income and diluted earnings per share would have been $13.0 million and $2.38, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2019. In addition, return on average assets and return on average equity would have been 0.99% and 8.98% respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2019.

  • The year-to-date results were also impacted by the First West Virginia Bancorp and its subsidiary, Progressive Bank, National Association merger (“FWVB merger”) on April 30, 2018. The FWVB merger provided approximately $281.6 million in low-cost deposits, $95.5 million in loans and eight branch locations in the Upper Ohio Valley and Buckhannon, West Virginia regions. In response, the Bank added branch and back office personnel to accommodate the increased customer traffic and transaction volumes.

  • From a capital management perspective, the Company announced its first stock repurchase program, to repurchase up to $5.0 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock, in the fourth quarter of 2019 and annualized dividends increased $0.07 per share, or 7.9%. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had repurchased 2,150 shares of common stock at an average price of $29.28 per share.

  • Total loans increased $39.6 million, or 4.3%, in 2019 driven by commercial and residential real estate production. Credit quality remains strong with the nonperforming loans to total loans ratio decreasing 12 basis points year-over-year to 0.57% as of December 31, 2019. An $851,000 payoff of a residential troubled debt restructuring contributed to the improved annual metric.

  • As a result of strong credit quality and a large decline in net charge-offs, the provision for loan losses was $725,000 for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $2.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. Net charge-offs for the year ended December 31, 2019 were $416,000, which included $398,000 of net charge-offs on automobile loans, compared to net charge-offs of $1.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, which were primarily due to charge-offs of $1.2 million for three commercial and industrial relationships in the first quarter of 2018. Net charge-offs to average loans decreased from 0.21% to 0.05% year-over-year with the allowance for loan losses to total loans ratio declining slightly to 1.04% at December 31, 2019 compared to 1.05% at December 31, 2018.

  • Total deposits increased $31.7 million, or 2.9%, to $1.12 billion at December 31, 2019, compared to $1.09 billion at December 31, 2018. Average noninterest-bearing demand deposits increased $34.4 million, or 14.8%, year-over-year and represent 24% of the total deposit portfolio. The Bank has been selective on offering promotional interest rates and continues to evaluate its rate structure in light of rate decreases by the Federal Reserve.

  • Net interest margin increased 5 basis points year over year to 3.64% for the year ended December 31, 2019. Interest income on loans increased $5.2 million due to an increase in average loans outstanding of $69.7 million combined with a 23 basis points increase in average loan yield. In addition, interest income on securities increased $1.4 million year over year. A portion of the investment portfolio was restructured in the current year to mitigate deteriorating investment-credit risk and to reinvest in higher yielding, longer-term investments as well as to mitigate call risk in a declining interest rate environment. The Bank realized additional income from accelerated accretion of discounts on security calls. This was partially offset by a $2.3 million increase in interest expense on deposits due to an increase in average interest-bearing deposits of $118.7 million. The average cost of interest-bearing deposits increased 18 basis points in the current period driven by higher cost municipal and time deposits. Although recent interest rate cuts have occurred, higher cost certificates of deposit will continue to impact interest expense until maturity.

  • Noninterest income increased $1.1 million, or 13.1%, to $9.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to $8.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. Insurance commissions increased $761,000 due to the full year impact from the EU acquisition of the customer list of Beynon Insurance (“Beynon”) in August 2018 combined with organic growth and a $237,000 increase in contingency fees.

  • The FWVB merger was the primary reason for the increase in volume-based service fee income and changes to various noninterest expenses year over year. In addition, although deposits increased $31.7 million in the current period, the FDIC assessment expense decreased $173,000 due to $308,000 of DIF credits.

  • 2018 financial results were impacted by pre-tax merger-related expenses of $854,000, lease termination costs of $287,000 related to the former FWVB corporate headquarters and former Washington Business Center (“WBC”), and leasehold improvements write-off of $74,000 for the WBC. The Bank moved into the Barron P. “Pat” McCune Jr. Corporate Center in the third quarter of 2018. In addition, 2018 financial results were positively impacted by proceeds of $421,000 from a bank-owned life insurance policy. Net income excluding these one-time items would have been approximately $7.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. Diluted earnings per share would have been $1.51 per share for the year ended December 31, 2018 without the impact of these items, an increase $0.11 per share.

“We are pleased to report on the wonderful year experienced by CB in 2019,” said Barron P. McCune, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer. “The first full year of operations after the FWVB merger and the acquisition of Beynon has boosted our overall financial performance. The 8% increase in annual dividend and stock repurchase program provided further opportunity to increase shareholder value. There will always be competition, but while other organizations may be leveraged, we have the advantage of a strong base of low-cost deposits and available liquidity to lend across our expanded market area. A solid fourth quarter of loan growth combined with the resolution of a large problem credit that improved our already strong credit quality numbers creates momentum into the new year.”

AVERAGE BALANCES AND YIELDS
 
The following tables present information regarding average balances of assets and liabilities, the total dollar amounts of interest income and dividends from average interest-earning assets, the total dollar amounts of interest expense on average interest-bearing liabilities, and the resulting average yields and costs. Average balances are derived from daily balances over the periods indicated. The yields set forth below include the effect of deferred fees, discounts, and premiums that are amortized or accreted to interest income or interest expense. Tax-equivalent yield adjustments have been made for tax exempt loan and securities income utilizing a marginal federal income tax rate of 21%. As such, amounts do not agree to income as reported in the consolidated financial statements. Average balances for loans are net of the allowance for loan losses, and include nonaccrual loans with a zero yield. The yields and costs for the periods indicated are derived by dividing annualized income or expense by the average balances of assets or liabilities, respectively, for the periods presented.
