For the quarter ended March 31, 2015, the Company reported net income of $172,000 or $.15 basic and diluted earnings per share. For the same period last year, the Company reported net income of $105,000 or $.09 per share. Net income was higher, compared to third quarter 2014 results, due to nonrecurring income from key-man life insurance proceeds associated with the death of Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Gary (Mike) Monnett in January, 2015.
Due to declining interest income on loans, total interest income was lower by $79,000 or 9%, while interest expense fell $22,000 or 15% during the quarter ended March 31, 2015. As a result, net interest income decreased $57,000, or 8%, for the three months ended March 31, 2015, compared to the same period in 2014.
Loan loss provisions for third quarter 2015 totaled $40,000. Loan loss provisions were $34,000 for the same period a year earlier. A regular assessment of loan loss allowance adequacy indicated that these provisions were necessary to maintain an appropriate allowance level. Net loan losses totaled $3,000, compared to $224,000 for third quarter 2014. Changes in volume, composition and quality of the loan portfolio, as well as actual loan loss experience, will influence the need for future loss provisions.
Third quarter 2015 non-interest income totaled $188,000 compared to $87,000 a year earlier. In 2015 the quarter included $100,000 from nonrecurring life insurance proceeds. Non-interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 totaled $679,000, compared to $698,000 for the same period a year earlier. Non-interest expense includes salaries and employee benefits, which decreased $52,000 and were partially offset by a $19,000 increase in legal and professional fees.
For the nine-month period ended March 31, 2015, the Company reported net income of $261,000 or $.22 earnings per share. Net income was $289,000 or $.24 earnings per share for the year-earlier period. Net income was lower due to a continued decline in interest income; particularly from lower loan yields and lower balances of total loans.
Total interest income decreased $248,000, or 9%. Interest expense fell $61,000 or 13%. Consequently, net interest income before provisions for loan losses dropped $187,000 or 8%, compared to the same period in 2014.
For the nine-month period ended March 31, 2015, loan loss provisions were $160,000 and totaled $154,000 for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2014. Loan loss provisions reflect management’s assessment of various risk factors including, but not limited to, the level and trend of loan delinquencies and losses. Net loan losses totaled $135,000 during the first three quarters of fiscal 2015, compared to $298,000 for the year-earlier period.
Total non-interest income rose $108,000, or 32%. Nonrecurring income from life insurance proceeds account for most of the change in non-interest income. Total non-interest expense decreased $10,000, compared to the same nine-months during the prior year. Salaries and employee benefits decreased $87,000, or 8%. Repossessed property expense fell $14,000 or 12%. Partially offsetting these decreases, computer processing fees increased $34,000, or 14%.
