GLBZ Glen Burnie Bancorp

Glen Burnie Bancorp (“Bancorp”) (NASDAQ: GLBZ), the bank holding company for The Bank of Glen Burnie (“Bank”), announced today net income of $135,000, or $0.05 per basic and diluted common share for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019, as compared to net income of $255,000, or $0.09 per basic and diluted common share for the three-month period ended March 31, 2018.

Net loan balances at March 31, 2019 grew by $24.0 million, or 8.8%, as compared to March 31, 2018.  Bancorp had total assets of $393.1 million at March 31, 2019.  Bancorp, the oldest independent commercial bank in Anne Arundel County, will pay its 107th consecutive quarterly dividend on May 3, 2019.

“Net interest income continued to rise during the first quarter, driving a consistent core earnings expansion.  Net interest income in the first quarter of 2019 grew by $147,000 or 4.9%, as compared to the first quarter of last year, as the yield on our loan portfolio grew from 4.25% to 4.32%, and our funding costs increased by $118,000 or 26.1%, from $452,000 to $570,000,” stated John D. Long, President and CEO.  “Our strong fundamental performance was somewhat offset by significant continued investment in technology and infrastructure improvements that enable us to remain competitive in the rapidly changing technological environment.  These improvements allowed the Company to remain vigilant in its risk mitigation efforts, and continue to provide a high level of service to our valued customers.  We are encouraged by the progress of the last two years and are confident that these investments have created a foundation for sustainable growth in 2019 and beyond.  A favorable credit environment combined with our outstanding credit quality, disciplined loan pricing and a beneficial balance sheet structure, allowed us to reduce the provision for loan losses by $187,000 or 51.9%, this quarter as compared to the first quarter of last year.  Headquartered in the dynamic Northern Anne Arundel County market, we believe the Bank is well positioned with sound growth, asset quality and capital levels, a widening net interest margin, and an experienced and seasoned executive team.  We remain deeply committed to serving the financial needs of the community through the development of new loan and deposit products.”

Highlights for the First Three Months of 2019

Bancorp continued to grow organically in the first quarter of 2019 driven primarily by favorable net loan growth.  Bancorp has strong liquidity and capital positions that provide ample capacity for future growth, along with the Bank’s total regulatory capital to risk weighted assets of 13.46% at March 31, 2019, as compared to 13.85% for the same period of 2018.

Return on average assets for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019 was 0.14%, as compared to 0.26% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2018.  Return on average equity for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019 was 1.59%, as compared to 3.06% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2018.  Lower gains on redemption of bank-owned life insurance policies (“BOLI”) and higher noninterest expenses primarily drove the lower returns.

The book value per share of Bancorp’s common stock was $12.23 at March 31, 2019, as compared to $11.83 per share at March 31, 2018.

At March 31, 2019, the Bank remained above all “well-capitalized” regulatory requirement levels.  The Bank’s tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was approximately 12.51% at March 31, 2019, as compared to 12.73% at March 31, 2018.  Liquidity remained strong due to managed cash and cash equivalents, borrowing lines with the FHLB of Atlanta, the Federal Reserve and correspondent banks, and the size and composition of the bond portfolio.

Balance Sheet Review

Total assets were $393.1 million at March 31, 2019, an increase of $2.7 million or 0.69%, from $390.4 million at March 31, 2018.  Investment securities were $61.4 million at March 31, 2019, a decrease of $28.9 million or 32.0%, from $90.3 million at March 31, 2018.  The higher volume of loan originations during 2018 were primarily funded using the proceeds from the sale of securities.  Loans, net of deferred fees and costs, were $299.4 million at March 31, 2019, an increase of $23.7 million or 8.60%, from $275.7 million at March 31, 2018.  Real estate acquired through foreclosure was $0.7 million at March 31, 2019, an increase of $0.6 million from March 31, 2018 primarily due to the acquisition of a single property.  BOLI decreased $0.4 million or 4.7% from March 31, 2018 to March 31, 2019 primarily due to the redemption of BOLI policies.  Net deferred tax assets decreased $1.6 million or 56.61% and accrued taxes receivable increased $1.2 million from March 31, 2018 to March 31, 2019 primarily due to the elimination of the alternative minimum tax under the Tax Act. 

Total deposits were $331.6 million at March 31, 2019, a decrease of $4.6 million or 1.36%, from $336.2 million at March 31, 2018.  Interest-bearing deposits were $224.4 million at March 31, 2019, a decrease of $4.7 million or 2.07%, from $229.1 million at March 31, 2018.  Total borrowings were $25.0 million at March 31, 2019, an increase of $5.0 million or 25.0%, from $20.0 million at March 31, 2018.

Stockholders’ equity was $34.5 million at March 31, 2019, an increase of $1.3 million or 3.82%, from $33.2 million at March 31, 2018.  The decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss associated with net unrealized losses on the available for sale bond portfolio, retained earnings and stock issuances under the dividend reinvestment program, offset by decreases in unrealized gains on interest rate swap contracts drove the increase in stockholders’ equity.

Nonperforming assets, which consist of nonaccrual loans, troubled debt restructurings, accruing loans past due 90 days or more, and other real estate owned (“OREO”), represented 0.86% of total assets at March 31, 2019, as compared to 1.49% for the same period of 2018.  The reduction in nonaccrual loans offset by the increase in OREO drove the 0.63% decrease in nonperforming assets as percentage of total assets from March 31, 2018 to 2019.

Review of Financial Results

For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018

Net income for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019 was $135,000, as compared to $255,000 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2018.

Net interest income for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019 totaled $3.14 million, as compared to $2.99 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2018.  Average loan balances increased $25.5 million or 9.32% to $299.5 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019, as compared to $274.0 million for the same period of 2018.

Net interest margin for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019 was 3.3%, as compared to 3.22% for the same period of 2018.  Higher average balances and yields on interest-earning assets were the primary driver of year-over-year results, as the average balance increased $9.2 million and the yield on interest-earning assets increased 0.19% from 3.71% to 3.9%.  These increases were offset by the higher cost of funds, which increased 0.12% from 0.51% to 0.63% for the three-month periods ending March 31, 2018 and 2019, respectively.

The provision for loan losses for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019 was $173,000, as compared to $360,000 for the same period of 2018.  The decrease for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019, when compared to the three-month period ended March 31, 2018 primarily reflects $294,000 lower required reserves offset by $59,000 higher net charge offs.  As a result, the allowance for loan losses was $2.61 million at March 31, 2019, representing 0.87% of total loans, as compared to $2.90 million, or 1.05% of total loans at March 31, 2018 and is consistent with our improved credit quality.

Noninterest income for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019 was $282,000, as compared to $486,000 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019, a decrease of $204,000 or 41.96%.  $207,000 lower gains on the redemption of BOLI policies primarily drove the decrease.

For the three-month period ended March 31, 2019, noninterest expense was $3.08 million, as compared to $2.84 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2018, an increase of $242,000 or 8.54%.  The primary contributors to the $242,000 million increase, when compared to the three-month period ended March 31, 2018 were increases in salary and employee benefits costs, data processing and item processing services, litigation settlement costs, OREO expenses, bank robbery loss and other insurance expenses offset by lower legal, accounting and other professional fees, and loan collection costs.
