Third Century Bancorp (“Company”)(OTCPINK:TDCB), the holding company for Mutual Savings Bank (“Bank”) announced a record level of net income of $272,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2018, or $0.23 per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $219,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2017, or $0.19 per basic and diluted share. The improvement in net income was primarily driven by an increase of $151,000 in net interest income. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recorded net income of $721,000, or $0.61 per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $559,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, or $0.47 per basic and diluted share. The improvement in net income for the 2018 nine-month period was primarily due to a $491,000 increase in net interest income.
David A. Coffey, President and CEO said, “This level of earnings is important for our Bank as it reflects the effort from a focused group of bankers, not only striving to provide a fair return to shareholders, but working to help our customers achieve their goals. Equally important is that earnings have been achieved by focusing on solid banking fundamentals.”
For the quarter ended September 30, 2018, net income increased $53,000, or 24.01%, to $272,000 as compared to $219,000 for the same period in the prior year. The increase in net income for the three-month period ended September 30, 2018 was primarily a result of a $151,000 increase in net interest income, which was achieved through an increase in interest income of $233,000, partially offset by a $82,000 increase in interest expense. The increase in interest income was due to an increase in the average yield on interest-earning assets, along with higher average loan balances. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to higher average balances of interest-bearing liabilities and a higher average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities, primarily deposits due to the rising interest rate environment.
The increase in net interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 was partially offset by a $32,000 increase in provision for loan losses compared to the same period in 2017. The increase in provision for loan losses was primarily driven by growth of the loan portfolio as well as credit quality factors. Changes to the allowance included net loan recoveries of $3,000 during the quarter ended September 30, 2018 compared to no loan charge offs for the same period in 2017.
The increase in net income for the three-month period ended September 30, 2018 was also impacted by a $5,000 decrease in noninterest income, a $94,000 increase in noninterest expense and a $32,000 decrease in income tax expense. The decrease in noninterest income was due to decreases in gains on sales of loans, trust income, and deposit fee and service charge income for the three-month period ended September 30, 2018 as compared to the prior year period. The increase in noninterest expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to increases in wages and benefits, advertising expenses, data processing expenses, as well as additional loan production expenses. Net income was also benefited by a decrease in tax expense from lower effective tax rates in 2018 as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Act”) which lowered the corporate federal tax rate from 35% to 21%.
For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018, net income increased $162,000 or 29.06% to $721,000 from $559,000 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017. The increase in net income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018 was primarily due to an increase in net interest income of $491,000 or 14.12% to $3,965,000 from $3,475,000 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017. The increase in net interest income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018 was due to a $711,000 or 18.26% increase in interest income, partially offset by a $220,000 or 52.65% increase in interest expense. The increase in interest income was due to an increase in the average yield on interest-earning assets, along with higher average loan balances. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to higher average balances of interest-bearing liabilities and a higher average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities, primarily deposits due to the rising interest rate environment.
The increase in net interest income for the nine-months ended September 30, 2018 was partially offset by a $91,000 increase in provision for loan losses compared to the same period in 2017. The increase in provision for loan losses was primarily driven by growth in the loan portfolio and credit quality factors. Changes to the allowance included net loan charge offs of $9,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to net loan charge offs of $258,000 for the same period in 2017.
The increase in net income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018 was also impacted by a $40,000 increase in noninterest income, a $338,000 increase in noninterest expense and a $61,000 decrease in income tax expense. The increase in noninterest income was due to increases in gains on sales of loans, trust income, and deposit fee and service charge income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018 as compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase in noninterest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to increases in wages and benefits, advertising expenses, data processing expenses, as well as additional loan production expenses. Net income was also benefited by decreases in tax expense from lower effective tax rates in 2018 as a result of the Tax Act.
Total assets increased $6.8 million to $157.8 million at September 30, 2018 from $151.0 million at December 31, 2017, an increase of 4.5%. The increase was primarily due to a $9.6 million or 8.1% increase in loans, primarily funded by a $9.1 million or 8.0% increase in total deposits, less a decrease of $3.0 million or 13.9% in FHLB advances. At September 30, 2018, the weighted average rate of all Federal Home Loan Bank advances was 1.58% compared to 1.44% at December 31, 2017, and the weighted average maturity shortened slightly to 4.2 years at September 30, 2018 compared to 4.3 years at December 31, 2017.
The allowance for loan losses increased by $174,000 or 15.79% to $1,276,000 at September 30, 2018 compared to $1,102,000 at December 31, 2017. The increase was the result of provision for loan losses of $183,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and was partially offset by net loan charge offs of $9,000. The allowance for loan losses totaled 3,269.23% of non-performing loans and 0.98% of total loans as of September 30, 2018. Nonperforming loans totaled $39,000 or 0.03% of total loans as of September 30, 2018.
Stockholders’ equity increased to $16.1 million at September 30, 2018 from $15.9 million at December 31, 2017. Stockholders’ equity increased by $245,000 during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018 due to net income of $721,000, which was partially offset by cash dividends paid of $212,000 and unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities of $264,000 due to increases in market interest rates. Equity as a percentage of assets decreased to 10.22% at September 30, 2018 compared to 10.52% at December 31, 2017.
