Centrue Financial Corporation (the "Company" or "Centrue") (OTCQB: CFCB) (OTC PINK: CFCB), parent company of Centrue Bank (the "Bank"), reported second quarter net income of $1.1 million, or $0.16 per common diluted share, compared to net income of $1.9 million, or $65.60 per common diluted share, for the first quarter 2015 and net income of $0.4 million or ($3.06) per common diluted share for the second quarter of 2014. For the first six months of 2015, the Company reported net income of $2.9 million, or $4.62 per common diluted share, as compared to net income of $0.9 million, or ($4.18) per common diluted share, for the same period in 2014.
A recapitalization occurred during the first quarter of 2015, having a significant impact on earnings and earnings per share including a $1.8 million gain on debt extinguishment that resulted from the Company settling its senior and subordinated debt. The Company also redeemed its Series C preferred stock at a 58.2% discount. This one-time transaction was added to net income available to common stockholders and drove up the earnings per share for that quarter and the year-to-date period.
Centrue also announced that it has filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 for the registration of 4,833,209 of the common shares issued as part of the recapitalization. All of the shares registered under this registration statement will be offered by selling stockholders. Centrue will not receive any proceeds from this offering. The registration statement has not yet become effective, and the shares being registered may not be sold under the registration statement prior to the time the registration statement becomes effective. Centrue anticipates the registration statement will become effective and that Centrue's shares will begin trading on NASDAQ under the symbol CFCB prior to November 1, 2015. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the securities subject to the registration statement.
Commenting on the second quarter, the Company's President & CEO, Kurt R. Stevenson, stated, "We made notable progress in several key areas as loan balances increased at a 12% annualized rate, the net interest margin remained stable while our earning asset base expanded, and asset quality continued to improve. The completion of the capital raise has given us a renewed drive and focus, as we work to grow top-line revenue while identifying strategies to operate more efficiently."
Total securities equaled $198.5 million at June 30, 2015, representing an increase of $32.2 million, or 19.4%, from March 31, 2015 and an increase of $49.6 million, or 33.3%, from the same quarter in 2014. The net increase from second quarter 2014 was related to allocating the recapitalization proceeds in excess of normal amortization of the portfolio for the period.
Total loans, including loans held for sale, equaled $587.0 million, representing an increase of $17.3 million, or 3.0%, from March 31, 2015 and an increase of $7.4 million, or 1.3%, from the same period-end in 2014. The net increase from first quarter 2015 was related to new organic loan growth. Second quarter of 2014 was prior to the Company's bulk asset sale in the fourth quarter of 2014 which resulted in the sale of $27.5 million in troubled loans. Competition for new commercial loan opportunities and loan renewals continues to be strong and pressures loan yields.
Total deposits equaled $700.1 million, a decrease of $12.6 million, or 1.8%, from March 31, 2015 and a decrease of $42.6 million, or 5.7%, from second quarter 2014. Core deposits decreased $8.4 million, or 1.6% from March 31, 2015 and increased $4.8 million, or 1.0% from June 30, 2014. Fluctuations in core deposit levels are in line with the normal business cycle cash use of our customer base.
The key credit quality metrics are as follows:
The allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.47% at June 30, 2015, compared to 1.40% at March 31, 2015 and 2.15% at June 30, 2014. The coverage ratio (allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans) was 139.01% at June 30, 2015, compared to 108.85% at March 31, 2015 and 43.24% at June 30, 2014.
Nonperforming loans (nonaccrual, 90 days past due and troubled debt restructures) decreased to $6.2 million at June 30, 2015, from $7.3 million at March 31, 2015 and $28.8 million at June 30, 2014. The level of nonperforming loans to end of period loans was 1.06% at June 30, 2015, compared to 1.29% at March 31, 2015 and 4.97% at June 30, 2014.
Other real estate owned decreased to $9.8 million at June 30, 2015, from $10.0 million at March 31, 2015 and $21.3 million at June 30, 2014. Nonperforming assets (nonaccrual, 90 days past due, troubled debt restructures and OREO) decreased to $16.0 million at June 30, 2015, from $17.3 million at March 31, 2015 and decreased $34.1 million from the $50.1 million held at June 30, 2014. The ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets was 1.80% at June 30, 2015, 1.99% at March 31, 2015 and 5.76% at June 30, 2014.
The past due ratio was 1.24% at June 30, 2015 compared to 1.66% at March 31, 2015 and 3.61% at June 30, 2014.
The Company's net interest margin was 3.48% for the second quarter of 2015, representing an increase of 4 basis points from 3.44% recorded in the first quarter of 2015 and an increase of 19 basis points from 3.29% reported in the second quarter of 2014. The Bank's net interest margin was 3.56% for the second quarter of 2015, representing a decrease of 2 basis points from 3.58% recorded for the first quarter 2015 and a 14 basis point increase to the second quarter 2014 net interest margin. The improvement in the net interest margin for the Company comes from lowered cost of funds from borrowings and interest bearing deposits.
Noninterest income totaled $2.6 million for the second quarter June 30, 2015, compared to $3.1 million for the same period in 2014. Excluding gains related to the sale of OREO, securities and other assets, noninterest income decreased $0.2 million or 7.4%. This $0.2 million decrease was primarily due to decreases in service charge income, overdraft fees, and mortgage banking income.
Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2015 was $8.0 million, compared to $8.1 million for the same period in 2014. Excluding OREO valuation adjustments taken in both periods, noninterest expense levels increased by $0.1 million, or 1.3%. This $0.1 million increase in expense was largely in the salary and benefits category.
Starting in 2015, the new Basel III capital rules are in effect. Along with these new capital rules came a new capital ratio called the common equity tier I capital ratio. The following table has the regulatory capital ratios as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.
