CIB Marine Bancshares, Inc. Announces Third Quarter 2019 Results

BROOKFIELD, Wis., Oct. 11, 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 third quarter of 2019.  Income before taxes for the quarter was $1.1 million compared to $1.2 million for the same period in 2018, and for the nine months ending September 30, 2019, it was $3.0 million compared to $3.3 million for the same period in 2018.

A summary of financial results for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019, is attached.  Select highlights include:

  • Tangible book value per share and stated book value per share at September 30, 2019, were $3.03 and $2.68 per share of common stock, respectively, compared to $2.82 and $2.45, respectively, at December 31, 2018.  The increase reflects reported income for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, improved net accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) due to improved available for sale security fair values as a result of lower market interest rates, and discounts to the repurchase of preferred stock in the third quarter. 
  • Income before taxes for subsidiary CIBM Bank was $1.2 million for the quarter compared to $1.7 million for the same period in 2018, and $3.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $4.2 million for the same period in 2018.  Comparing the two nine-month periods, there was a decline in net interest income of $0.4 million due primarily to rising cost of funds and a reduction in SBA reverse repo balances, a decline in non-interest income of $0.2 million due to lower SBA gains on sale as a result of lower origination volumes in part offset by stronger mortgage banking revenues, an increase in provision to allowance for loan losses of $0.1 million and an increase in non-interest expenses by $0.3 million lead by higher compensation, collection and occupancy and premise expenses.
  • Non-performing assets, restructured loans, and loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing to total assets was 1.40% at September 30, 2019, versus 1.45% at December 31, 2018, and 1.11% at September 30, 2018. The increase from one year ago is primarily the result of one loan placed on non-accrual during the fourth quarter of 2018.  CIB Marine’s allowance for loan losses was 1.49% at September 30, 2019, versus 1.62% at December 31, 2018, and 1.62% at September 30, 2018.  The decline was primarily due to a $0.5 million charge-off of a loan that was previously reserved for.

Mr. J. Brian Chaffin, President and CEO of CIBM, commented, “Our SBA and Mortgage Divisions’ net revenues were up $0.4 million and $0.8 million, respectively, from second quarter of 2019 due to stronger loan production from both.  Notably, the Mortgage Division has had stronger production and higher earnings on that production during 2019 versus the year prior.  This can be attributed to solid purchase money and elevated refinance activity on lower mortgage rates so far this year and a number of new lender hires.”

He added, “Our net interest margin improved by 6 basis points from the prior quarter and printed the best result since the third quarter of 2018.  We are encouraged that the cost of funds has begun to turn lower and we expect the decline to pick up in the two quarters ahead as we expect a significant amount of maturing time deposits originated near the peak of the rate cycle last year and early this year to reprice at lower rates.

“Finally, during the third quarter, we approved and accepted the repurchase of 2,229 shares of preferred stock as part of the second of three planned preferred stock modified Dutch auctions held pursuant to our 2018 amendments to the Articles of Incorporation.  The total price for the shares was $1.6 million, resulting in a discount of $0.3 million to the $1.9 million carrying value of the preferred stock shares.  The discount was transferred to paid-in capital for common stock during the third quarter.  As a reminder, a $3.5 million liability currently exists for the purchase of 4,923 preferred shares, which CIBM anticipates settling on or before December 1, 2019, as agreed to in 2018.”
