Birmingham Bloomfield Bancshares, Inc. Announces Unaudited First Quarter Results
(firmenpresse) - BIRMINGHAM, MI -- (Marketwire) -- 04/26/12 -- Birmingham Bloomfield Bancshares, Inc. (OTCBB: BBBI) ("the Company"), the holding company for Bank of Birmingham, today announced first quarter net income for the period ended March 31, 2012. The favorable results are a product of improved margins, lower loan loss provision expense and an increase in non-interest income.
The Corporation reported net income of $336,000 or $0.19 per share of common stock for the first quarter of 2012, compared to net income of $414,000 or $0.23 per share for the first quarter of 2011. The overall performance was impacted by the recognition of income tax expense in 2012 not required in 2011. Excluding tax expense of $171,000 for the period, pre-tax net income after preferred dividends was $507,000, an increase of 22.5% from March 31, 2011.
Chief Executive Officer, Rob Farr, issued the results and commented, "On a pre-tax basis the performance represents our most profitable quarter. We have been successful in producing positive results as we continue to grow the institution, diversify our earnings and generate improvement in net interest margin. The pre-tax, pre-provision Return on Average Assets was 1.71% for the quarter and our book value reached $6.44. Overall we are pleased with the results and look forward to the remainder of 2012."
Results of Operation
Total net interest income for the first quarter of 2012 increased 10.6% to $1.394 million compared to $1.260 million for the first quarter of 2011. The increase in net interest income was a result of earning assets growth and a reduction in funding costs. Net interest margin increased from 4.49% in the first quarter of 2011 to 4.80% during the current quarter. This was achieved by improving the asset mix of the balance sheet and lowering the aggregate cost of deposits.
The Company continues to be successful in generating significant revenue from non-interest income sources. Non-interest income totaled $484,000 for the first quarter of 2012, compared to $325,000 for the same period in 2011. The majority of the revenue was generated from SBA loan sales, mortgage banking activity and a gain of $150,000 on the sale of a foreclosed property. The Company participates in the SBA 7(a) program and recognized $122,000 in gain on sale and servicing income during the first quarter of 2012. Mortgage banking income represents the premium received on selling qualified residential loans in the secondary market. This generated $163,000 in revenue for the period ended March 31, 2012 compared to $12,000 in 2011. This was a function of increased loan volume due to the low interest rate environment.
Total non-interest expense for the first quarter of 2012 was $1.338 million, an increase of $255,000 compared to the same period of the prior year. This was a result of additional costs associated with increased volume from residential mortgage activity, adding new personnel to generate growth, expanding services, and dedicating resources to business development efforts to improve franchise awareness.
Balance Sheet
Total assets as of March 31, 2012 were $128.663 million, a 10.4% increase from the prior year. The balance sheet growth was a direct result of an increase in loan and deposit balances. Total portfolio loans reached $106.628 million at the end of the first quarter, an increase of $8.423 million from the prior year. The growth was primarily concentrated in commercial real estate and mortgage related loans. The Company continues to focus on quality opportunities in our primary market as credit conditions have modestly improved. The asset quality of the Company remains solid; there were no non-performing assets outstanding and the allowance for loan loss was 1.50% of total portfolio loans. Total deposits as of March 31, 2012 were $111.774 million, an increase of 6.9% from 2011. The Bank also continues to be classified as well capitalized based on regulatory guidelines and the Tier 1 ratio was 10.13% for the quarter.
